Marsikdo od ljudi, ki jih poznam, piše: dnevnik, pesmi, esej, pisma ali celo knjigo. Nekateri pišejo in objavljajo na družbenih omrežjih, predvsem na Facebooku, kjer svoje življenje razgalijo množici ...»prijateljev«, od katerih je večina le bežnih znancev. Dostikrat svoje mnenje povedo na forumih (a skoraj vedno pod psevdonimom). Vprašanje pa je, kako svoja dela pripraviti tako, da bi jih lahko objavili pri založbi. Ko posameznik napiše neko besedilo, ima pogosto težavo z objavo svojega dela. Napiše pesem, roman ali strokovno razpravo in ta obtiči v računalniku ... Kam s tem gradivom? Včasih nam uspe najti domačega založnika ali prispevek objaviti v slovenski strokovni reviji. Če se posameznik odloči izdati knjigo v samozaložbi, mora prevzeti še vse druge obveznosti v zvezi s financiranjem, promocijo in prodajo. Slovenski bralski trg je razmeroma majhen in število bralcev je omejeno, zato se sprašujemo tudi o tem, kako svoje delo objaviti tam, kjer bo doseglo več bralcev.
Public-Private Partnership (PPP), as a current topic in theory and practice, has mostly been treated from the perspective of legislation and recognized by classical macroeconomic paradigm. The aim of ...this paper is to open a new aspect of dealing with this topic, both organizational and managerial. The paper underlines the importance of organizational design in a PPP, because experience has shown that without strong organization, coordination, defined rules and principles, there is no successful outcome and initiatives amount to a failed attempt. This is why interorganizational relations require well defined organizational architecture where it is clearly determined who, what, how and by when needs to deliver. In a PPP, this is achieved through a contractual framework and the creation of a special purpose company (SPC). The paper also affirms a new managerial position - PPP Manager - that apart from the general managerial skills and knowledge needs to be specialised in managing PPPs.
This paper aims to contribute to filling the knowledge gap on practical, non-vague recommendations how to design a learning organization, using the analysis of organizational network structure in the ...context of organizational learning. We draw on the importance of organizational design as an enabler of organizational learning. We use a research case study approach as an empirical background. We apply organizational network analysis in order to describe how network density, reciprocity, reachability, blocks and cut-points as well as design efficiency – effectiveness balance can promote support and enable learning. We define practical implications for managers on how to manage work and knowledge flows in their organizations.
The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of information technology (IT)
on organization including all elements that are integral part of
organizational design through Star Model (Kates and ...Galbraith, 2007), and to
show that IT has become an important strategic resource that provides a
concentration of all relevant information for quality decision-making and
integration of complex organization with the concept of ?Big Data? (Manyika
et al, 2011). In order to achieve the aim, research was performed in
organization in the health sector which affects the quality of life and
standard of living. TheIT impact on organizational design and through him on
organizational effectiveness in the health care is visible and provide
insight into the implications of information technology and opportunities for
reasoning about matters that are the subject of research: whether and how
information technology causes changes in the design of the organization;
whether it affects all elements of design equally; on which elements has the
most intense impact and why; whether and why employees and users of health
services exhibit resistance to information technology; under what conditions
can be reduced or completely eliminated the resistance of employees and users
of health services?
Cilj rada je da istrazi uticaj informacione tehnologije (IT) na organizaciju
ukljucujuci sve njene elemente, koji prema Modelu zvezde (Kates i Galbraith,
2007) cine sastavni deo organizacionog dizajna, kao i da ukaze da je IT
postala strateski vazan resurs koji obezbedjuje koncentraciju svih relevantnih
informacija za kvalitetno odlucivanje i integraciju kompleksnih organizacija
preko koncepta ?Big Data? (Manyika et al, 2011). Za potrebe provere polaznih
stavova, izvrseno je istrazivanje u organizaciji iz sektora zdravstva. Izbor
organizacije iz oblasti zdravstva motivisan je cinjenicom da je zdravstvo
izuzetno vazan segment koji utice na kvalitet zivota i zivotni standard
gradjana i da su uticaji IT na organizacioni dizajn i preko njega na
efikasnost organizacije u zdravstvu vidljivi i daju dobar uvid u implikacije
informacione tehnologije i mogucnosti za zakljucivanje o pitanjima koja su
predmet istrazivanja: da li i na koji nacin informaciona tehnologija uzrokuje
promene u dizajnu organizacije; da li utice na sve elemente dizajna
podjednako; na koje elemente ima najintenzivniji uticaj i zasto; da li i
zasto zaposleni i korisnici zdravstvenih usluga ispoljavaju otpor uvodjenju
informacione tehnologije; na koji nacin se moze ublaziti otpor zaposlenih i
korisnika usluga?
Avtorica se v prispevku sprašuje, kakšen odnos imajo mladi v Sloveniji do vseživljenjskega izobraževanja v povezavi z oblikovanjem lastnih življenjskih ciljev. Kaj mladostnike motivira, da se nenehno ...izobražujejo? Kako se odločajo o prioritetah? Kakšna znanja potrebujejo, da se pravilno odločajo tudi glede svojega učenja? In kako se potrebe in motivi za vseživljenjsko izobraževanje pri mlajših odraslih povezujejo z vrednotami. Pri svoji raziskavi in razmišljanjih se naslanja na Lengrandovo teorijo permanentnega izobraževanja, ugotavlja prevladujoče vrednote mladih in išče povezavo z njihova pripravljenostjo za vseživljenjsko izobraževanje.
Femur fractures in children most often occur as a consequence of traffic accidents, during play and sport activities, and due to different pathological states. Diagnosis is rather simple and it ...includes physical and radiographical examination. Femur fractures treatment in children can be operative and unoperative, depending on several facts: age, localisation and type of fracture, joint injuries of soft tissues, the presence of other injuries (in polytrauma), economical and social aspects, ect. The aim of this study was to present epidemiological characteristics of pediatric femur fractures, that is in the stage of development, including a special analysis of the used treatment techniques, as well as the comparison of the obtained data with those from the literature.
The evaluation included following parameters: age, gender, cause, localisation and type of femur fracture, applied treatment and hospitalisation duration.
Among the presented 143 patients with femur fracture, 109 were boys and 34 were girls (3.2:1 ratio; p = 0.0001). Average age for both genders was 8.6 years, and no difference between boys and girls were found for the age (p = 0.758). In total, the most common fracture was diaphyseal fracture of femur in 93 (65.03%) patients. The second was proximal fracture in 30 (20.98%) patients, and the last distal fracture of the femur in 20 (13.99%) patients (p = 0.0001). Three main causes of femur fracture can be distinguished: during play and sport activities in 67 (46.8%) children, in traffic accidents in 64 (44.8%) children, and pathological fractures in 12 (8.4%) children. Inoperative treatment was applied in 82 (57.3%) patients, and operative one in 61 (42.7%) patients. The most common treatment was traction, in 71 (49.6%) patients, followed by immobilization by hip spica cast mostly in young children. Intramedullar elastic nailing was applied in 16 (11.2%) cases, and intra-medullar rigid nailing (Küntscher) in 19 (13.3%) cases. Significantly longer hospitalization period was detected after traction (21 days) comparing to other ways of treatment, mainly operative or hip spica cast (5 to 10 days).
In young children the standard treatment was hip spica cast after traction. Intramedullar elastic nailing is a modern trend accepted as standard in our approach to femur fracture treatment in children.

The prepuce envelops the glans as a variant of a mucocutaneous tissue presenting with a lot offunctions, the most important of them being to protect the infant's glans from feces and ammonia in ...diapers, to protect the glans from abrasions and trauma throughout life, and to provide sufficient skin in erection. Circumcision was recognized as a method of solving foreskin problems a long time before Christ. Practicing male circumcision in history was customary several thousand years ago and has spread worldwide. Today it depends on races, and it is often an initiation ceremony near the age of puberty. In everyday practice in pediatric urology outpatient department the foreskin problems have been noticed as a phimosis in 9.91% cases and prepuce adhesions in 3.98%. Congenital anomalies are present in different numbers. Other problems, such as paraphimosis, balanoposthitis, are recorded as accidental cases. Over-all prepuce pathology can be observed in 12%-25% of patients. The article presents a review of foreskin conditions, clinical manifestation, therapy and arguments for patient's benefits.
The term phimnosis describes a foreskin that is unable to retract. It is necessary to distinguish normal anatomic situation in neonate and infantile period, when prepuce has not been separated yet from true pathologic phimosis due to fibrosis and sclerosis. Up to six years of age the tip of the prepuce is elastic and might be retracted by gentle manipulations. In cases when the foreskin is trapped behind the glans penis and cannot be pulled back to normal position, paraphimosis is present and can be treated as a medical emergency by manual manipulation, or by dorsal slit (incision). Many studies have demonstrated that frequency of urinary tract infection increases in uncircumcised males and that is a reason for routine circumcision. The others are against routine circumcision. The contraindications are newborns, especially prematurely born. and congenital penile anomalies. Condition in which the frenulunm of penis is short with consequent restriction of movement of the prepuce can be easily treated by frenulotomy. Hooded prepuce is a condition of incomplete circumferential formation of foreskin with a dorsal component present and ventral component absent. In cases without any penile anomalies this is only a cosmetically unattractive appearance and could be corrected by circumcision. Infection of the foreskin due to bacterial colonization could be both prevented and treated easily However, an infection due to peno-preputial incisions in adolescent age is serious and has to be cured promptly.
As a part of external genitalia, the foreskin has a lot of functions. Despite its natural role many advocates routine circumcision due to problematic condition that can develop. Routine circumcision is not generally recommended. Improved education for physicians and parents with regard to the foreskin development and management is required.

While the convergence vs. divergence debate has gained broad recognition among both HRM scholars and practitioners, it seems that a closer insight into current HRM developments in the South Eastern ...European transition economies has yet to be achieved. This paper, therefore, aims to highlight current HRM practices in Serbia and address possibilities for implementing the North American HRM model in a highly incompatible cultural setting. Investigation of HRM practices in Serbia is based on the "CRANET survey on Strategic International HRM" (Brewster et al., 2004) and on interviews with the HR managers of 38 randomly selected companies operating in Serbia. The Serbian national culture has been included a priori in the initial research design as an explanatory variable. Research findings suggest that both the incompetence of HR managers and professionals, as well as a slow-moving transition, need to be carefully considered to explain the distinctiveness of HRM in transition economies. On the other hand, national culture seems to be a key obstacle to the achievement of full convergence of performance appraisal and performance-related pay.
The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of managers with leadership
potentials in knowledge management within organization. This aim is further
developed through the research questions: (1) ...Does leadership have important
role in knowledge management? (2) Under which conditions leadership
influences knowledge management and what is the direction of this influence?
(3) Which elements of the leadership, skills and virtues of the leader, are
important and what roles do they have in knowledge management? The paper is
based on the field investigation, employing interviews and survey as the
research techniques, on the random sample of Serbian companies.
U ovom radu cemo se baviti liderstvom, kao procesom u kojem menadzeri lideri
ostvaruju odredjene interakcije sa zaposlenima, tako da stvaraju uslove za
ucenje i razmenu znanja. Cilj rada je da istrazi kakva je uloga menadzera sa
liderskim sposobnostima u upravljanju znanjem u organizacijama. Ovaj cilj je
dalje razradjen kroz istrazivacka pitanja: (1) Da li liderstvo ima vaznu ulogu
u menadzmentu znanja? (2) Pod kojim uslovima liderstvo utice na menadzment
znanja i na koji nacin ono to cini? (3) Koji su elementi koncepta liderstva,
vestine i sposobnosti lidera bitne i kakve su njihove uloge u menadzmentu
znanja? Rad je zasnovan na empirijskom istrazivanju, koriscenjem tehnika
ankete i intervjua, na slucajnom uzorku organizacija iz Srbije.
In the paper the basic forms of organizational justice are analyzed and it highlights the importance of implementation of the concept of organizational justice in the conditions when the company ...implemented a radical change such as size reduction (downsizing). The starting assumption of the paper is that the attitudes of the remaining employees regarding the level of organizational justice demonstrated by the mangement depend on the assessment of the reasons for downsizing, procedures that have been implemented and the treatment of the personnel that have become redundant. The importance of their attitude stems from the fact that they can significantly affect their behavior and performances in the post transformational period, and consequently significantly affect the efficiency of the whole process. In order to check the above mentioned assumption, the survey was conducted in one unit of the local government in the Republic of Serbia that reduced the number of the employees. The research methodology, in addition to the case study, includes desk research of the relevant literature of downsizing and organizational justice, in-depth interview as an assisting tool for collecting the primary data as well as secondary data analysis.
