During the locomotion, the foot is a contact surface and a source of interaction with the external environment. Because of this, its health is important to monitor in order to precociously diagnose ...its problems. General or specific pathologies can change its physiological function. The measurements of pressure in both dynamic and static conditions can avoid, and even prevent, a worsening of a foot or inferior limblesion. Plantar pressure exams are then essential to create personalized soles. Foot plantar pressure is the pressure field that acts between the foot and the support surface during everyday locomotive activities. In this work, a plantar pressure measurement system was developed to identify areas with higher or lower pressure load to allow the creation of a personalized sole. The designed device has been planned to be attached to the patient ankle allowing maximum comfort during the normal gait. A series of resistive sensors is attached to the shoe sole, which is then connected to a device placed around the ankle, measures the pressure variations in static condition or during the gait cycle. The measured data are transmitted via Bluetooth to the correlated software. The software of the measurement system shows the pressure in each small sensor element of the sole in real time and saves the data in a file.
Konec šestdesetih let minulega stoletja so bili na severnem obrobju Trbovelj pri gradnji stanovanjske soseske Volkova Loka naključno odkriti bronasti predmeti, ki jih je mogoče opredeliti kot manjši ...depo mešane sestave. Sestavljajo ga fragmentirani vrbovolistna sulična ost, meč tipa Arco in dva jezičastoročajna srpa ter odlomka konice srpa in rezila meča. Na podlagi tipološko-kronološke analize predmetov je depo uvrščen v horizont II slovenskih depojev oz. v stopnjo Ha A1.
In recent years, China needs far more financing for transportation infrastructure than can be provided by the government alone. Meanwhile the capacity of the Chinese government to provide public ...services on its own in an effective and efficient way is being questioned and reassessed at various levels. Accordingly, the involvement of private investors in the development of Metropolitan Transportation Systems (MTS) has been promoted by the Chinese public sector by means of adopting the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, China's dynamic and complex political, financial, legal and regulatory environment makes the private sector adjust to accommodate the existing regime by way of understanding the driving factors in PPP applications for improving the chances of project success. This paper presents two case studies in China's MTS. Based on a case study and comprehensive literature review, 15 driving factors associated with PPP projects from the perspective of the Chinese public sector have been identified. A structured questionnaire survey targeting the public sector has been conducted to seek, analyze and integrate its perception of the driving factors. Through statistical analysis of the relative significance of each of these driving factors, the writers determined five common major dimensions of the Chinese public sector's purpose in developing PPP schemes, and the key factors that quantify each purpose. The establishment of the measures for these objectives and the key factors that quantify each of these purposes will likely be useful in encouraging private participation in infrastructure management and directing/concentrating efforts of the private sector to deliver quality public services under mutually beneficial long-term contractual arrangements.

Nefinancijsko izvještavanje predstavlja način kojim neka poduzeća prikazuju, ali i određuju svoju ulogu u društvu prvenstveno iz upravljačke, društvene i perspektive okoliša. Nefinancijsko ...izvještavanje od 1. siječnja 2017. prema Zakonu o računovodstvu postalo je zakonska obveza određenim poslovnim entitetima za poslovnu godinu koja počinje 1. siječnja 2017. Ovom zakonskom obvezom, Republika Hrvatska prenijela je Direktivu 2014/95/EU Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 22. listopada 2014. o izmjeni Direktive 2013/34/EU u pogledu objavljivanja nefinancijskih informacija i informacija o raznolikosti određenih velikih poduzeća i grupa, naziva Direktiva o nefinancijskom izvještavanju u nacionalni pravni poredak, kojom se želi povećati transparentnost poslovanja velikih poduzeća, te konkurentnost malih i srednjih poduzeća, objavljivanjem nefinancijskih ili tzv. informacija ODU o utjecaju poduzeća na okoliš i društvo. Dvije godine nakon inicijacije zakonske obveze u Hrvatskoj su se okupile organizacije iz poslovnog, javnog i civilnog sektora, kako bi determinirale stanje nefinancijskog izvještavanja u Hrvatskoj u 2017. i 2018. Ovim radom analizirani su okviri i sadržaji nefinancijskih izvješća poduzeća obveznika, kao i onih koji su izvješća objavili dobrovoljno. Analiza sadržaja nefinancijskih izvješća provodila se prema zakonom propisanim kriterijima te načelima određivanja sadržaja nefinancijskog izvješća propisanih u Standardima GRI i smjernicama Europske komisije za nefinancijsko izvještavanje. Osnovni je cilj inicijative da se periodički i sustavno analizira stanje nefinancijskog izvještavanja u Republici Hrvatskoj te daju preporuke mogućih koraka za njegovo poboljšanje kako bi se povećala konkurentnost hrvatskih poduzeća.
The paper describes the assessment of 3 Vilnius city development scenarios according to transport system parameters multi-criteria analysis and performing transport system modelling for 2015 and 2025 ...years. Vilnius city development scenarios such as concentrated development, extensive development and decentralized concentrated development have been evaluated from a transport viewpoint. Vilnius city development scenarios have been evaluated by using SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) multi-criteria method. According to this method development scenarios ranking calculations have been performed using transport system indicators. Urban transport system analysis model was developed for Vilnius conditions, which estimates the fuel consumption, average travel distance and driven time by car in morning peak hours depending on urban areas development scenario and socio-economic data. This model should be used when calculating new projects of the transport infrastructure (by-passes, new bridges) and when evaluating the economic efficiency of traffic organization projects.
This paper presents narrative analysis as a qualitative research method focused on language at the suprasentential level and on the structure and social function of narrative as a specific discursive ...genre, which is a rather under–researched area in Croatian linguistics. The first part of the paper presents a short historical overview of the development and current trends of narrative analysis in linguistics, sociolinguistics, and various discourse analyses, with a special emphasis on the inquiry into identity construction in narrative discourse. The second part introduces a possible model of narrative analysis, based on findings from a larger empirical research on identity construction in personal narratives of migration.
Vykdant georeferenciniu duomenu bazes GDB10LT atnaujinimo darbus, linijiniai hidrografiniai objektai buvo skirstomi i tipus: upe, kanalas, griovys. Upes ir upeliai duomenu rinkinyje yra visi ...objektai, turintys pavadinimus. Kanalo ir griovio tipai išskiriami remiantis šiu objektu apibrežimu LR aplinkos ministro isakyme. Duomenu prasme kanalu samparata buvo suformuluota kaip atkarpu, kuriomis galima sujungti du hidrografinius objektus, turinčius pavadinimus (upes, upeliai, ežerai), rinkinys. Tokiu atkarpu išskyrima atliekant rankiniu būdu, visoje Lietuvos teritorijoje reikalingos dideles darbo sanaudos, be to, galima palikti klaidu del neatidumo, kurias sunku patikrinti. Kanalu išskyrimas atliktas automatizuotai, grindžiant grafu analize ir specifiniu tinklo jungumo skaičiavimo algoritmu. Buvo išskiriami potencialūs kanalu itekejimo i kitus telkinius taškai bei skaičiuojamos visos galimos jungtys tarp šiu tašku - tai ir buvo ieškomieji kanalai. Straipsnyje išsamiau aptariami su duomenu specifika ir grafu analize susije klausimai, taip pat kanalu išskyrimo klausimai, padedantys identifikuoti duomenu kokybes problemas.
The present phytosociological study of the eastern Adriatic coastal salt-marsh at Blato, Croatia, is based on the Braun-Blanquet approach. Five plant associations were recorded in the area: Juncetum ...maritimo-acuti, Puccinellio festuciformis-Sarcocornietum fruticosae, Scirpetum maritimi, Enteromorpho intestinalidis-Ruppietum maritimae and Cressetum creticae. The association Cressetum creticae was found for the first time in Croatia as well as on the eastern Adriatic coast. This therophytic and halo-nitrophilous association shows a monospecific or paucispecific character and occupies the most haline and the driest parts of the salt-marsh. The association develops during the summer on silty clay substrates with organic matter derived from the decay of plants of the neighboring communities. According to key soil factor analysis no differences of grain size of the soils among the associations were found, while regarding electrical conductivity, Cl
and Na
concentrations were higher in the Cressetum creticae than in any of the others associations. The particular original features of the site regarding its flora and vegetation would justify some measures of protection and management.
Predstavljamo fitocenološko raziskavo obalnega slanega mokrišča Blato (Hrvaška) v vzhodnem Jadranu, ki smo jo naredili po Braun-Blanquetovi metodi. V raziskovanem območju smo zabeležili pet asociacij: Juncetum maritimo-acuti, Puccinellio festuciformis-Sarcocornietum fruticosae, Scirpetum maritimi, Enteromorpho intestinalidis- -Ruppietum maritimae in Cressetum creticae. Asociacija Cressetum cretice je na ozemlju Hrvaške in tudi na vzhodni obali Jadranskega morja opisana prvič. Terofitska in halo-nitrofilna asociacija je monospecifična ima siromašno vrstno sestavo in se pojavlja na najbolj slanih in suhih delih slanišča. Sestoji se razvijajo poleti na glineni podlagi z organsko snovjo, ki jo sestavljajo odmrli rastlinski deli s sosednjih združb. Analiza tal je pokazala, da med asociacijami ni bilo razlik v velikosti talnih delcev, električni konduktivnosti, koncentraciji Cl- in Na+ ionov pa sta bili v asociaciji Cressetum creticae višji kot ostalih asociacijah. Zaradi posebnosti v flori in vegetaciji bi bilo potrebno na preučevanem območju zagotoviti določene mere zaščite in ustrezen način upravljanja.
Dinamika mest v Vzhodni Evropi po padcu komunizma (kot posledica sprememb, ki jih je povzročil prehod k novi ideologiji) je razkrila pomanjkljivosti lokalnih javnih storitev, vključno z javnim ...prometnim sistemom. Za določitev in ponazoritev pomanjkljivosti tega sistema na tem območju smo analizirali prometno omrežje v romunskem mestu Iasi, pri čemer smo upoštevali različne vidike njegove učinkovitosti. Na podlagi delnih kazalnikov smo izvedli geoprostorsko analizo in oblikovali kompleksne kazalnike, ki se lahko uporabljajo kot orodja za merjenje uspešnosti javnega prometnega omrežja ter ocenjevanje lokalne uprave in odločevalcev. Rezultati kažejo raven uspešnosti analiziranega prometnega omrežja in razkrivajo, da poteka od centra proti obrobju (v policentričnem mestu), kar je ostanek komunistične dobe. Za oceno učinkovitosti javnega prometnega omrežja smo uporabili analizo GIS, s katero smo ugotovili ter prikazali prednosti in slabosti lokalnega prometnega omrežja.
