The villages of the Zagreb Foothills, located on the southern slopes of Mount Medvednica, experienced the first hints of changes in the period between the world wars. These changes encompassed the ...electrification of certain villages and the partial construction of a water supply network. The economic interdependence of the nearby settlements to the north of Zagreb and the city itself slowly transformed the peasants of the foothill villages into peasant-workers, and then into citizens of Zagreb. After World War II and the annexation of the former villages to the City of Zagreb, the urbanisation processes increasingly influenced family units, their economy, everyday life, and customs. Thus, in the 1960s, a complete transformation of the rural area took place, and it became part of the urban complex. The socio-economic processes that permeated Yugoslavia in that period, the gradual liberalisation of the market and the creation of a consumer society, created among the former peasants a desire to adopt the urban culture and lifestyle. Abandonment of agriculture and animal husbandry, permanent employment in the city, and increased purchasing power allowed the families of the northern city periphery to buy household appliances such as television sets, washing machines, and refrigerators. Everyday life became easier and more leisurely, but severed a series of old social ties and permanently transformed the villages of the Zagreb Foothills into an integral part of the City of Zagreb.
This paper deals with the development of the globalization process, meaning of the term globalization and influences that globalization has on world economy, politics and human community in general. ...It makes the point that globalization has negative and positive aspects, but it certainly brings big changes. The developed part of the world uses very well global conditions, in the same time playing the role of the main carrier of the globalization processes. With the development of informatics and communication technology world is becoming much smaller so that connection between two subjects in different parts of the world is made in a few minutes. Creation of economic and politic integrations is also one of the causes and consequences of globalization.
Croatian literary culture of the 18th century is marked by stylistic pluralism, considering that its Enlightenment character and its didactic (educational, moralistic and Catholic) and utilitaristic ...dimensions are emphasized the most. Austrian catechism was the fundamental book of school religious education from 1777 until 1847 in the whole Habsburg Monarchy, and it played an important role in the upbringing of children, but also of the entire family and social community in the spirit of Josephine politics. This topic is viewed from the perspective of Immanuel Kant who found it important to emphasise the dangers to which the fetishisation of ecclesiastical norms can lead to, i.e. to hinder the development of critical moments of liberty and upbringing. The absence of Enlightenment period in Croatian countries of the Habsburg Monarchy is complexly conditioned: from religious resistance and changes in a social and political sense to stagnancy and lack of education of a large part of the population, altogether favourable to the Croatian nobility and clergy.
The history of large industrial companies in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century mirrors the modernity of every society. The goal of this paper is to explore the history of the companies ...‘SUFID’ and ‘La Dalmatienne’ in light of those economic and political developments that influenced their work. Based on archival research conducted in the Croatian State Archives and the State Archives in Šibenik, the work of the ‘SUFID’ and ‘La Dalmatienne’ factories in regard to the development of electrification and its consequences are analysed. The focus of study is the production of electrical energy, which made up a significant part of the total production of both companies and greatly changed the life of Šibenik and its surrounding area.Through case studies on the development of the ‘SUFID’ and ‘La Dalmatienne’ companies, some of the more important elements of the functioning of the economy are explained, such as the influence of global economic trends on local economic developments and the influence of international politics on domestic politics, which had a direct impact on the functioning of the economy and the regulation of property-law relations. The consequences of industrialisation, i.e. its direct influence on the immediate surroundings, are also analysed. From the time of early industrialisation, property-law relations were encroached upon, as was the manner of their resolution, in order to pave the way for changes in space needed for the development of infrastructure, especially roads and power transmission line routes.
This article points to the importance of several aspects of the 50 year-long modernisation process that brought industrial transformation and changes to the population structure in Croatia. The aim ...is to bring attention to the influence public policies (with their rationalised decision-making) had on this process using example cases of modernisation processes in housing and communal policies. The paternalistic role of the state, with its clear absence of plurality, became visible in every segment of economic, political, and social life. Due to the increased inflow of residents to the cities, the government paid great attention to housing and communal policies. The first measures for the rapid economic and social transformation of society came into effect early on, during the war period. Major state interventions were emphasised through industrialisation and urbanisation, which followed worker migrations from rural to urban areas. This paper also aims to warn about specific segments of political decision-making that have so far not been studied through the dimension of public policies, using the examples of some aspects of the modernisation of urban life in Croatia. In conclusion, the paper points to a possible interdisciplinary framework for research on the issue of public policies through a historical dimension.
V zahodnih študijah religije se v zadnjem času religijo razumeva kot spreminjajoče se prakse ljudi, in ne kot skupek prepričanj in doktrino, ki jim verniki sledijo. To še posebej drži za japonsko ...religijsko konstelacijo, kjer je bogato prakticiranje različnih religij vselej prednjačilo pred pripadnostjo dogmam in verskim institucijam. Raziskovalci so v taki religioznosti opazili spodbudne elemente za razvoj moderne kapitalistične družbe. Članek podrobno prikaže, kako so Webrove teze o vplivu religije na razvoj moderne družbe sprejemali na Japonskem in na osnovi razširitve njegovih tez predstavi nekatera mogoča izhodišča za obravnavo religije v povezavi z razvojem modernega potrošništva na Japonskem.
Worldwide experience has shown that MI-8/17 helicopters are on the top of the middle class list of high performance multipurpose helicopters, flying at high altitudes in complex meteorological ...conditions. The paper addresses their development, transport, as well as rescuing and combat capabilities. The excellent technical characteristics of flight and their capabilities for uninterrupted and smooth performance of tasks demonstrate the reason why the Armed forces of the FYR of Macedonia decided to use Mi-8/17 helicopters and are determined to invest in their modernization and improvement of their technical capabilities. The modernization of the resources of armies is a continuous process, which is a part of all modern military security structures. Most armed forces do not economize the funds allocated for this purpose, due to the fact that they aspire to achieve the planned capabilities, so that they would attain the ultimate preparedness in terms of capabilities of the security forces regarding technology and trained personnel. / Практика в эксплуатации вертолетов МИ-8/17 в целом мире показала, что они являются лидерами между многоцелевыми вертолетами среднего класса высокого эксплуатационного качества с высоким порогом высоты полета при тяжелых метеорологических условиях. В данной работе большое внимание посвящено изучению развития транспортных, поисково- спасательных и боевых характеристик данных вертолетов. Превосходные технические характеристики в полете и их возможности непрерывного и качественного выполнения задач подтверждают правильность решения об инвестировании в модернизацию этих вертолетов, которое приняли Вооруженные силы БЮР Македонии, а также об инвестировании в повышение их технических характеристик. Модернизация средств в армии всегда является длительным процессом в любой современной структуре военной безопасности. Большинство армий не экономит средств на осуществление целей в усовершенствовании возможностей своей техники, для того чтобы впоследствии оказаться на вершине технологической безопасности и подготовленности своих кадров. / Iskustva iz celog sveta su pokazala da su helikopteri MI-8/17 na vrhu liste višenamenskih helikoptera srednje klase sa visokim performansama za visoko letenje u složenim vremenskim i meteorološkim uslovima. Cilj ovog rada je da se prouči njihov razvoj, kao i transportne, spasilačke i borbene mogućnosti ovih letelica. Odlične tehničke karakteristike za letenje i njihove sposobnosti za neometano i kvalitetno izvršavanje namenjenih zadataka pokazuju zašto je Vojska BJR Makedonije odlučila da ulaže u modernizaciju ovih helikoptera i usavršavanje njihovih tehničkih sposobnosti. Modernizacija sredstava u jednoj armiji je kontinuiran proces u svakoj savremenoj vojnobezbednosnoj strukturi. Veliki broj armija ne štedi sredstva namenjena za ove ciljeve, kako bi ostvarile osposobljenost snaga i obučenost ljudstva u skladu sa tehnologijom.
