The people behind the papers - Yonit Maroudas-Sacks and Marko Popovic
No full textDuring Hydra regeneration, supracellular actomyosin fibres are disoriented at two distinct foci of the regenerating tissue. These sites of nematic topological defects eventually form the new head and foot of the regenerated animal. In a new study, Yonit MaroudasSacks, Marko Popovic, Kinneret Keren and colleagues propose a positive-feedback loop that incorporates fibre organisation, tissue strain and morphogen gradients to promote head organiser formation. To find out more about the work, we caught up with first author Yonit Maroudas-Sacks and co-corresponding author Marko Popovic, Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Germany
The Position of the New Security Concept in China`s Foreign Policy – Case Study on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
No full textThis paper analyzes the position of the New Security Concept (NSC) in China’s foreign policy. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has been selected as a case study, because in China’s Position Paper on the New Security Concept the SCO has been announced as the best implementation practice of the NSC. This paper is made of three parts. The first part represents theoretical platform for explaining the NSC and the reasons why it was introduced by policy-makers of the Chinese Communist Party. The research relies on concepts offered by moral realism, relational theory and theory of institutional balancing. The second part tackles the institutional development of the SCO, as the framework for exploring by which manners and in which areas SCO’s member states/partners deepen and strengthen their cooperation and in which areas the cooperation is lacking. The third part of the paper tackles the practical nexus between the NSC and the SCO, focusing on Peace Missions, Xiamen and Solidarity – the SCO joint antiterrorist and military drills for countering geographical and cyber terrorism, separatism and religious extremism (“three evils”)
Modeliranje strategijskog top-menadžmenta uz uvažavanje upravljanja finansijama kompanije zasnovanim na uvođenju fer vrednovanja
No full textModeling using management modes through the application of strategic management presupposes a modern approach that requires the company's adaptability to the environment, primarily the immediate surroundings of the enterprise itself. The actions undertaken by the top management should be brought in order to maximize the profit. In this paper, the authors give an overview of a possible model that assumes the following essential elements: time, activity within the company, and achievement of the planned results. In addition, the author emphasizes the importance of periodic evaluation of managers, and in that sense, the assessment has been translated into interval 1-10 as a possible interval of assessments to be undertaken at regular and announced intervals.Modeliranje pomoću moedla upravljanja putem primene strategijskog menadžmenta pretpostavlja savremen pristup koji zahteva prilagodljivost kompanije okruženju, prvenstveno neposrednom koje okružuje samo preduzeće. Preduzete akcije od strane top menadžmenta treba da budu donešene sa ciljem maksimalizacije profita. U ovom radu autori daju prikaz mogućeg modela koji pretpostavlja sledeće bitne elemente: vreme, aktivnost unutar kompanije i dostizanje zacrtanih rezultata. Osim toga autor ističe značaj periodičnog ocenjivanja menadžera i u tom smislu su ocenjivanje apostrofirali u interval 1-10 kao mogući interval ocene koji treba preduzimati u redovnim i najavljenim intervalima
General Programs for Least pth and Near Minimax Approximation
No full textTitle: General Programs for Least pth and Near Minimax Approximation, Author: Jadranka K. Rizoniko-Popovic, Location: ThodeUser-oriented computer programs in FORTRAN IV for discrete least pth approximation with a single specified function, and more generalized discrete least pth approximation with various specifications, which may also be used for nonlinear programming, are presented. Values of p up to 10^6 can be used successfully in conjunction with efficient gradient minimization algorithms such as the Fletcher-Powell method and a recent method due to Fletcher. It has already been demonstrated how efficiently extremely near minimax results can be achieved on a discrete set of sample points using this approach and the programs written verify this. The programs may be applied to a wide variety of design problems with a wide range of specifications. They are suitable for electrical network and system design and such problems as filter design.ThesisMaster of Engineering (ME
Analysis of project management for rural development from EU founds with an example on OPG Popovic
No full textPolitika ruralnog razvoja Europske unije financira se iz Europskog poljoprivrednog fonda za ruralni razvoj ĉija vrijednost u razdoblju od 2014. do 2020. iznosi 100 milijardi eura. Europska Unija je prepoznala problematiku ruralnog razvoja i u skladu s tim napravila reformu unutar
Zajedniĉke poljoprivredne politike i zapoĉela s provedbom LEADER pristupa. Ulaskom u Europsku uniju, Republika Hrvatska dobila je mogućnost korištenja Europskog poljoprivrednog fonda za ruralni razvoj (EAFRD). Kao ĉlanica EU, Republika Hrvatska je 2013. godine odabrala ukupno šesnaest mjera za provoĊenje ruralnog razvoja u sklopu Programa ruralnog razvoja u razdoblju od 2014. do 2020. godine na temelju ĉega joj je EAFDR dodijelio preko 2 mlrd. eura. Ulaskom Hrvatske u Europsku uniju ostvaruje se ĉlanstvo koje sa sobom nosi prava i obaveze, a jedna od direktiva EU bila je i usklaĊivanje ruralne politike. Prije ĉlanstva u Europskoj uniji, Hrvatska je koristila SPARD program. Ulaskom u EU taj je program promijenjen u program IPARD kako bi se što bolje mogli pripremiti za ĉlanstvo u zajednici. Svrha pisanja ovoga rada je realizirati i objasniti ulogu EU fondova namijenjenih ruralnom razvoju u Republici Hrvatskoj te sve njegove pojavne oblike. Ulaskom RH u EU izvori su se financiranja proširili, odnosno povećala su se dostupna financijska sredstva za brojne i razliĉite aktivnosti u poljoprivredi. Isto tako, analizirat će se uloga financiranja obiteljskih poljoprivrednih gospodarstava i u Republici Hrvatskoj na naĉin da se definiraju nacionalni izvori financiranja, odnosno financiranje iz drţavnog proraĉuna, ali i financiranje iz fondova Europske unije s istraţivaĉkim naglaskom na OPG Popović koji se nalazi u Garešnici u Bjelovarsko-bilogorskoj ţupaniji. OPG Popović je obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo koje se bavi stoĉarskim sektorom rada i ratarstva, a kroz ulaganja u sklopu zahtjeva planira se proširiti na uzgoj krmaĉa za proizvodnju prasadi. OPG se nalazi u sustavu korištenja poticaja EU sredstava za korištenje aktivnih mjera fondova za ruralni razvoj. Godine 2013. OPG Popović dobiva potporu od 311.890.00 kn, koja se odnosi na ulaganja u poljoprivredno gospodarstvo za restrukturiranje, modernizaciju i povećavanje konkurentnosti poljoprivrednih gospodarstava.The EU's rural development policy is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development whose value in the period from 2014 to 2020 is 100 billion euros. The European Union recognized the issue of rural development and accordingly made reform within the Common Agricultural Policy and started implementing the LEADER approach. By joining the European Union, the Croatia has been given the option of using the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). As a member of the EU, in 2013, the Republic of Croatia selected a total of 16 rural development measures under the Rural Development Program for the period 2014-2020. on the basis of which it received over €2bn from the EAFRD. By joining Croatia in the EU, we have achieved a membership that carries with it rights and obligations, and one of the EU directives was the harmonization of rural policy. Prior to joining the European Union, Croatia used the SPARD program. By joining the EU, that program was changed to the IPARD program in order to be better prepared for membership in the community. The general objectives of agricultural funds are defined by the strategic and legal basis on which they are based, consisting of a series of legal, strategic, operational and implementation documents and international agreements signed by Croatia on its way to the European Union. The purpose of this paper is to realize and explain the role of EU funds for rural development in Croatia, as well as all its appearing forms. With the accession of Croatia to the European Union, the sources of funding have expanded, ie the funds available for numerous and diverse agricultural activities have been increased. Also, the role of financing family farms in the Republic of Croatia will be analyzed by defining national sources of funding, ie financing from the state budget as well as funding from EU funds, with a research report on OPG Popović located in Garešnica in Bjelovar-Bilogora County. OPG Popovic is a family economy that deals with the livestock sector and agriculture, and is investing within the scope of the request to expand on breeding pigs for pig production. OPG is in the system of using EU funds to use active measures for rural development. In 2013, OPG Popović received a grant of 311,890.00 kn, and the grant relates to investments in the agricultural economy, for restructuring, modernization and increasing the competitiveness of agricultural holdings
Stojan Jovanovic - a state cadet and the author of French grammar
No full textStojan Jovanovic, called by the name of Cukic by his contemporaries, is
mainly known as a leader of Katanska buna (The Rebellion of Katanas) in 1844.
The subject of this paper is Jovanovic?s education in Serbia and Vienna. A
thesis statement is that Stojan Jovanovic, Filip Hristic, and Anastas
Jovanovic have enjoyed the favor and support of the Obrenovic family, to whom
they have been loyal in return. Stojan Jovanovic belonged to the first
generation of students who've graduated from all schools existing in Serbia
during Prince Milos?s reign - he has finished the primary school in Belgrade,
the High School, i.e. the Kragujevac Gymnasium in 1836, and has attended the
Military Academy in Pozarevac, Belgrade and Kragujevac between 1837 and 1838.
In 1839. Jovanovic was appointed to the first group of state cadets who were
sent to study in Vienna. This generation of students was in many ways similar
to the one that attended the Belgrade Higher School (1808 - 1813). Jovanovic
stayed in Vienna for three years. For the first two years he has learned
French and German, preparing for the Law school. He has enrolled at the
Vienna University in the winter of 1841, and passed three exams by the end of
the school year. Several times he has asked the Ministry of education in
Belgrade to send him to study in Paris, but he was denied. On the initiative
of the emissary of the Serbian government, Jovan Sterija Popovic, Jovanovic
and other cadets have been withdrawn from the studies in Vienna. Between
1842. and 1844. Jovanovic has taken part in three rebellions against the
regime of Ustavobranitelji (the Defenders of the Constitution). In the summer
of 1844. in Vienna, Jovanovic has printed a manual for learning French,
French Grammar. Although it is a compilation, the manual is significant since
it has brought contemporary methods of learning French language to Serbian
readers. The papers end with a well founded presumption, based on the yet
unknown document, that Stojan Jovanovic has survived the Katanska buna in
1844.</jats:p
La plainte du chien battu, ou la poésie désenchanteresse (1991-2013) de Michel Houellebecq
No full textCe mémoire propose une étude des poésies de Michel Houellebecq menée dans le respect des visées et du cadre théorique de la sociocritique (Duchet, Robin, Popovic). Chacun de ses trois chapitres explore un thème de recherche qui s’est imposé par sa prégnance dans l’œuvre étudiée : la vie urbaine, la vie sociale, les altérités de la ville. L’hypothèse principale est que l’écriture houellebecquienne capte des signes, des actes de langage, des représentations qui circulent dans la société française contemporaine, et qu’elle le fait de manière dynamique, c’est-à-dire en les soumettant à un travail scriptural qui critique leur usage et qui en modifie le sens. La « mise en texte » (Duchet) de la vie urbaine (premier chapitre) met à jour une domination de la ville et de ses habitants par les seules lois économiques. Elle décrit ainsi un monde qui n’est plus que marchand. Celle de la vie sociale et des liens interpersonnels (deuxième chapitre) démontre leur étonnante facticité et atteste que leur organisation restreint de plus en plus les libertés individuelles. Ce qui était un acquis de la modernité sociale : pouvoir bénéficier de « temps libre » pour prendre soin de soi et des proches, devient de plus en plus impossible. Enfin, celle des altérités de la ville (banlieue, province, nature – troisième chapitre), prouve que ces dernières n’offrent aucune alternative à l’hostilité du monde urbain et à la règle du chacun pour soi. Malgré ce diagnostic désolant, la poésie cherche à déceler ici ou là des traces d’espoir et de solidarité.This master’s dissertation is a study of Michel Houellebecq’s poetry according to the theoretical framework of sociocritic (Duchet, Robin, Popovic). Urban life, social life and alterities of the city are the most present themes in the poetical work of the author. The main hypothesis is that the writing mobilizes and take over signs, linguistic acts and representations which float around in the French contemporary society, but in a dynamic way: the scriptural act of writing modifies their meaning and criticizes their common use. In the first chapter, we will discuss the “putting into text” (literal translation of the « mise en texte » concept by Duchet, which is the action of putting something into the form of a literary text) of urban life, which shines a light on how much the economic laws rule the city and its inhabitants. It describes a market world where money reigns. In the second chapter, the “putting into text” of social life and people-to-people ties shows how surprisingly artificial they are and certifies that their organization shrinks individual liberties more and more. Having free time to spend with your loved ones was once a given of social modernity but is now becoming difficult to manage. In the third and last chapter, the putting into text of the othernesses of the city (suburbs, province, nature) reveals that they offer no alternative to the hostility of the urban world and the fact that it is, and it will always be, every man for himself. Despite this distressing diagnosis, poetry tries to detect here and there hints of hope and solidarity

Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Microstructure of Directionally Solidified Nickel Alloy After SLM
No full textThe paper investigates the effect of hot isostatic pressing of single-crystal nickel-based alloy manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) with a high-temperature substrate preheating. A study of the structure and phase composition of the material before and after treatment has been carried out. It was found that as a result of such treatment, the ratio and proportion of the strengthening phases change; however, due to slow cooling after treatment, the optimal ratio and shape of the inclusions are not fixed. In addition, the hardening particles are precipitated.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Vera Popovic
