This collection provides an in-depth and up-to-date examination of the concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the issues surrounding its value to society. Critically engaging with the UNESCO ...2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage , the book also discusses local-level conceptualizations of living cultural traditions, practices and expressions, and reflects on the efforts that seek to safeguard them. Exploring a global range of case studies, the book considers the diverse perspectives currently involved with intangible cultural heritage and presents a rich picture of the geographic, socioeconomic and political contexts impacting research in this area. With contributions from established and emerging scholars, public servants, professionals, students and community members, this volume is also deeply enhanced by an interdisciplinary approach which draws on the theories and practices of heritage and museum studies, anthropology, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, and the study of cultural policy and related law. The Routledge Companion to Intangible Cultural Heritage undoubtedly broadens the international heritage discourse and is an invaluable learning tool for instructors, students and practitioners in the field.

Grof Krsto (Kristofor) Frankapan sa suprugom Apolonijom Lang je za trajanja uzništva u Veneciji pripremio i dao 1518. tiskati Njemačko-rimski brevijar u kojem se nalaze i njihovi obiteljski grbovi. ...Krstina nećakinja, Katarina Frankapan, je u suradnji sa svojim ispovjednikom Nikolom Dešićem priredila 1560. molitvenik Raj duše u kojem je otisnut grb istovjetan Krstinom u Njemačko-rimskom brevijaru. Tijekom restauratorskih i konzervatorskih radova devedesetih godina 20. st. na crkvi Rođenja Blažene Djevice Marije u Sveticama kraj Ozlja, otkrivene su freske nastale oko 1541., na kojima su i tri grba istovjetna onima frankapanskim u molitvenicima. Heraldičari, povjesničari, jezikoslovci i povjesničari umjetnosti nisu uspijevali razriješiti donja polja tog četvorenog grba...
Članek predstavlja nekatere vidike 19-letnega razvoja projekta Teden vseživljenjskega uče-nja, ki so pripeljali do novega pristopa k promociji izobraževanja odraslih in vseživljenjskega učenja v ...Sloveniji. Ta nosi zveneče ime Parada učenja (PU) s podnaslovom, ki daje vedeti, da je učenje že vraščeno v okolja, v katerih je bil pristop uporabljen, in obenem spodbuja (nadaljnji) razvoj učečih se skupnosti. Opisani so primer in nekatere značilnosti dozdajšnjih 14 Parad učenja ter njihova vpetost v prakso, stroko in politiko izobraževanja odraslih. Slednja je na evropski ravni zagotovila strateške pa tudi finančne spodbude za opisana prizadevanja v obliki Resolucije o prenovljenem Evropskem programu za učenje odraslih. Uresničevanje tega programa bo teklo tudi v prihodnje in bo podpiralo razvoj učeče se družbe.
The paper analyses the challenges of modern commercial diplomacy (CD), which became more relevant than it was in the pre crisis period. In this context, the authors analyzed the chronology of ...implementation of CD in Serbia, scope and efficiency of its activities, and the areas for improvement. Some of their findings, related to the efficiency and challenges in CDs activities, are based on the questionnaire conducted among 25 Serbian CDs. The paper concludes that in order to increase the efficiency of commercial diplomacy, coordination of the activities of the responsible institutions should be improved, to avoid overlapping in their work and to rationalize use of limited resources. However, the authors emphasised that the space for contribution of commercial diplomacy to the increase of export and FDI is insufficient, due to limited export potential and poor investment climate in Serbia. The authors conclude that in order to increase the efficiency of commercial diplomacy in export promotion area, it is important to implement the necessary reforms, which will result in the restructuring of Serbian economy, make it more competitive and export oriented. To increase the inflow of FDI to Serbia, it is necessary to create a business friendly investment climate.
The present study investigates the evolution of illicit drug use among Romanian university students from 1999 to 2011.
The study was performed in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in three phases: in 1999 (T1), ...in 2003 (T2) and in 2011 (T3). The study was carried out by means of anonymous questionnaires among university students aged 19-24.
The results show that among girls the lifetime illicit drugs use increased statistically significantly from 2.5% in 1999 to 7.5% in 2003 and to 15% in 2011. Among boys the trend was also increasing, the prevalence of illicit drug use was 14.2% at T1, 18.1% at T2, and it increased dramatically to 30.6% at T3. The percentage of students reporting cannabis use was almost identical with the total prevalence of illicit drug use. Ecstasy was the second most frequent drug used by the students; its consumption had also an increasing trend during the examined periods (from 0 to 5.6% among girls and from 0.8% to 11.2% among boys). The results of the bivariate correlation analyses show that lifetime illicit drug use was associated with having friends who experimented with illicit drugs both among boys and girls. Moreover, girls who declared stress management problems and depressive episodes were more likely to try illicit drugs, while among boys illicit drug use was associated with poorer academic performance.
The data pointed out by our study call for comprehensive actions regarding the prevention of illicit drug use among Romanian young people.
Tourism is an indispensable segment of economic development, especially in nowadays time of crisis. This paper will therefore deal with the travel and tourism industry and the position of the ...Croatian tourism product. In this connection, the aim of the research will be to identify any adverse reasons affecting the position of the tourism product. In line with this aim, our task will be to investigate and analyze whether our diplomacy has been familiar with the Strategy and Master plan of Croatian tourism till 2020. Based on our research, our diplomacy should be, among other factors, an important factor in making it easier for foreign visitors to select Croatian destinations for their summer holidays. The main hypothesis of this paper is therefore a significant need for much stronger engagement of our diplomacy in the promotion of the many advantages their own country offers in relation to others.
Uvođenjem poštanske marke sredinom 19. stoljeća, kao sredstva za plaćanje poštanskih usluga unaprijed, pojednostavljen je složeni proces prijenosa pošiljaka za sve sudionike u složenom poštanskom ...sustavu. Osim svoje primarne uloge, poštanska marka je naknadno dobila i brojne druge uloge: marketinško sredstvo, promidžba nacionalne baštine, sredstvo sakupljanja, itd. Zaštita na radu, zaštita od požara, sigurnost u prometu, zaštita okoline i medicina rada su vrlo popularne teme na poštanskim markama ne samo kod milijuna sakupljača poštanskih maraka, već i kod velikog broja izdavatelja maraka koji time žele pridonijeti promociji spomenutih tematskih polja koja su itekako bitna i u njihovoj životnoj i radnoj okolini. Svjetski dan sigurnosti i zdravlja na radu, vatrogasne olimpijade, Svjetski dan zaštite okoliša, ergonomija u uredu, sigurnost u prometu (obvezno nošenje kacige, hitna pomoć, poštujte znakove i sl.) i dr. svoje su mjesto našle na poštanskim markama renomiranih svjetskih poštanskih uprava poput SAD-a, Velike Britanije, Ujedinjenih naroda, Vatikana, Brazila, Kanade, Australije i dr. I hrvatski poštanski operater, koji sukladno Zakonu o poštanskim uslugama, jedini ima pravo izdavati hrvatske poštanske marke, od 1991. godine do danas, izdao je više različitih poštanskih maraka, tiskanih u milijunskim nakladama s motivima sigurnosti u životnoj i radnoj okolini. Zasigurno najpoznatija od njih je «Dan bijelog štapa» koja je dobila prestižnu nagradu iz područja kulture na međunardonom natjecanju u Assiagu 2007. godine. Za razliku od ostalih marketinških medija, poštanska marka zalijepljena na pismo ili razglednicu ulazi u većinu kućanstava svijeta, te predstavlja vrlo važan put kako se jedno područje, kao što je npr. sigurnost i zaštita na radu, može zamijetiti i prepoznati. Nažalost, unatoč suvremenim načinima komunikacije, poštanski kanal jedino je komunikacijsko sredstvo za većinu svjetskog stanovništva te je iz toga razloga pismo s poštanskom markom daleko od toga da postane dio prošlosti.
Uspoređujući prošle generacije djece i adolescenata, svjedoci smo promjena životnih stilova pa tako novije generacije mladih postaju pretežno sjedilačke na globalnoj razini. Razina tjelesne ...aktivnosti u rapidnom je padu, dok su istraživanja njezinih dobrobiti u porastu. Kontinuirana tjelesna aktivnost pokazala se povezanom s brojnim zdravstvenim koristima, ali i s kognitivnim razvojem i mentalnim zdravljem. Kada je riječ o djeci i adolescentima, upravo redovita tjelesna aktivnost može na pozitivan način doprinijeti kognitivnom razvoju te pridonijeti brojnim psihološkim i fiziološkim koristima. To je posebice primjenjivo u djetinjstvu i adolescenciji jer su ta životna razdoblja pogodna za usvajanje zdravih životnih navika i stilova radi preveniranja pojave različitih oblika bolesti i promoviranja pozitivnoga mentalnog zdravlja. Svrha ovog rada jest kritički se osvrnuti na doprinos tjelesne aktivnosti kognitivnom razvoju i mentalnom zdravlju djece i mladih te donijeti zaključak na temelju cjelokupne analize.
Porast ekološke svijesti i brige za zdravlje dovodi do porasta potražnje za ekološki proizvedenom hranom. Ovaj je trend posebno izražen u zemljama Europske unije u koju Hrvatska ulazi kao punopravna ...članica. No, unatoč bogatim prirodnim resursima i predispozicijama koje Hrvatska ima za ekološku poljoprivredu, kod nas je tržište eko-proizvoda još u razvoju. Neminovno je da hrvatski ekološki proizvod ima veliki tržišni potencijal u okviru Europske unije, no plasman na to tržište izazov je velikih razmjera s kojim se trebaju što prije suočiti svi subjekti uključeni u taj proces – od proizvođača i stručnjaka do zakonodavnih tijela Republike Hrvatske. Treba imati na umu da veliki potencijal leži u turizmu kao distributivnom kanalu te u domaćim autohtonim proizvodima koji su već prepoznati na stranim tržištima. Hrvatski ekološki proizvod, da bi bio konkurentan i prepoznatljiv na europskom tržištu, mora proći kroz mnoge faze rasta – od uspostave kriterija kvalitete preko diferencijacije i marketinške strategije do pažljivo osmišljenog i provedenog brendiranja.
Članek je rezultat empirične raziskave med slovenskimi društvi v drugih republikah nekdanje Jugoslavije.
