Human language is not the same as human speech. We use gestures and signs to communicate alongside, or instead of, speaking. Yet gestures and speech are processed in the same areas of the human ...brain, and the study of how both have evolved is central to research on the origins of human communication. Written by one of the pioneers of the field, this is the first book to explain how speech and gesture evolved together into a system that all humans possess. Nearly all theorizing about the origins of language either ignores gesture, views it as an add-on or supposes that language began in gesture and was later replaced by speech. David McNeill challenges the popular 'gesture-first' theory that language first emerged in a gesture-only form and proposes a groundbreaking theory of the evolution of language which explains how speech and gesture became unified.
Kompetencija podrazumijeva sposobnost ili stručnost pojedinca za uspješno ovladavanje različitih ciljeva. Razlikuju se opće kompetencije, prenosive i neovisne o profesiji, i specifične kompetencije ...koje su profesionalno ovisne. Svaki pojedinac djeluje u svojem osobnom ili profesionalnom životu koristeći se jednima i drugima. Nastavnicima za obavljanje njihova posla potrebne su brojne kompetencije koje se u radu jednim imenom nazivaju pedagoškim kompetencijama koje, kao i ostale kompetencije, nisu statične i ne mogu se u potpunosti steći tijekom inicijalnog obrazovanja, nego su vrlo dinamične i razvijaju se cijelog života. U radu je predloženo i raspravljeno kako nastavnici tijekom svojega svakodnevnog rada mogu planirati i pratiti vlastiti razvoj pedagoških kompetencija ne bi li bili pasivni sudionici vlastitoga profesionalnog razvoja. Predložen je model ponavljajućih refleksija tijekom kojih se prikupljaju povratne informacije o učinkovitosti razvoja i utvrđivanja novih potreba za daljnji razvoj.

Political Agroecology is the first book to offer a systematic and articulated reflection on Political Agroecology from the Agroecological perspective. It defines the disciplinary field responsible ...for designing and producing actions, institutions and regulations aimed at achieving agrarian sustainability. In short, it aims to build a political theory that makes the scaling-up of agroecological experiences possible, turning them into the foundation of a new and alternative food regime.
The book proposes theoretical, practical and epistemological foundations of a new theoretical and practical field of work for agroecologists: Political Agroecology . It establishes a framework for a common agroecological strategy, covering the different levels of collective action and the different instruments with which it can be developed. This will be essential reading for agroecologists, environmentalists, farming and food communities, and an ideal textbook for advanced agroecology courses in universities.
Key features:
Offers a unique state of the art on this fundamental new topic: Political Agroecology
Presents a complete introduction to the political and institutional aspects of Agroecology, covering the whole food system
Offers an important tool for searching agrarian sustainability
Provides a broad epistemological, theoretical and methodological focus, exploring the connection between the different levels and scales involved in agroecological theory and practice

Poduzetništvo, posebice mikro, malo i srednje prema EU nasljeđu u Republici Hrvatskoj ima ključnu ulogu u stvaranju novih radnih mjesta, ponajprije kroz modele samozapošljavanja, potom kao pokretanje ...inovativnih poslovnih modela koji su generatori proizvodnje. Šumarski sektor bilježi sve veći udio inovativnih inženjerskih usluga namijenjenih za državne i privatne šume. Glavno obilježje još uvijek najzastupljenijih vrsta poduzetničkih aktivnosti u šumarskom sektoru je primarna primjenjivost u državnim šumama na djelatnostima sječe, privlačenja i daljinskog transporta te potom na uzgojnim radovima. Institucije i potpore na državnoj i EU razini imaju ulogu poticanja novih poduzetnika kroz „start-up“ modele na pokretanje inovativnih poslovnih rješenja primjenjivih u cijelom šumarkom sektoru.
The introduction provides an overview of a wide range of definitions of entrepreneurship and a brief overview of the situation and issues through institutional and legislative review. The second chapter presents the key features of forestry entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia. The main indicators of improving services in the forestry sector through the use of entrepreneurial services are discussed. Emphasis was also placed on comparison with EU standards through small business. Subsection 2.1 provides an overview of entrepreneurial opportunities in the forestry sector with special emphasis on innovative activities in which young forestry professionals could find themselves in the business of improving existing products and services, new services and new products. The third chapter lists the elements of entrepreneurial infrastructure through their facilities and all assessed in Table 1 through a SWOT analysis which shows the characteristics of strengths and weaknesses as internal characteristics and opportunities and threats as external characteristics. Section 3.1 lists the entrepreneurial support institutions established under the Law of the Improvement of Entrepreneurial Infrastructure. Subsection 3.2 provides an institutional framework for entrepreneurship management through strategic documents and laws with their characteristics. Subsection 3.3 shows aid to entrepreneurs from the EAFRD Fund for Rural Development. Table 2 shows the types of operations intended for the forestry sector together with the business entities for which they are intended and the amount and intensity of support. Subchapter 3.4 shows the support provided by the Republic of Croatia for the development of entrepreneurial activities, primarily through the credit lines of the Hrvatska banka za obnovu i razvoj (HBOR) and HAMAG-BICRO. Table 3 shows the currently available HBOR credit lines which are used as a starting point for selecting the most applicable for the forestry sector. From the shown credit lines, three are compatible and potentially applicable in the forestry sector. At the same time, these lines are shown with their characteristics in Table 4. Furthermore, the Croatian Government Agency HAMAG-BICRO also encourages the establishment of the forestry sector through three models shown in Table 5 with its characteristics for a successful promotion of entrepreneurship. forestry. In the last chapter, instead of conclusions, the problem of the lack of mass of potential entrepreneurs, primarily from a population of young forestry professionals, is mentioned. This is due to the lack of consideration by forestry experts about entrepreneurship as an interesting option. The impetus for thinking about entrepreneurship is certainly the simplified establishment of a business entity and the growing number, although still an insufficient number of credit lines for newly established business entities.
There has been an enormous increase in interest in the use of evidence for public policymaking, but the vast majority of work on the subject has failed to engage with the political nature of decision ...making and how this influences the ways in which evidence will be used (or misused) within political areas. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regards to evidence and critically considers what an ‘improved’ use of evidence would look like from a policymaking perspective. Part I describes the great potential for evidence to help achieve social goals, as well as the challenges raised by the political nature of policymaking. It explores the concern of evidence advocates that political interests drive the misuse or manipulation of evidence, as well as counter-concerns of critical policy scholars about how appeals to ‘evidence-based policy’ can depoliticise political debates. Both concerns reflect forms of bias – the first representing technical bias, whereby evidence use violates principles of scientific best practice, and the second representing issue bias in how appeals to evidence can shift political debates to particular questions or marginalise policy-relevant social concerns. Part II then draws on the fields of policy studies and cognitive psychology to understand the origins and mechanisms of both forms of bias in relation to political interests and values. It illustrates how such biases are not only common, but can be much more predictable once we recognise their origins and manifestations in policy arenas. Finally, Part III discusses ways to move forward for those seeking to improve the use of evidence in public policymaking. It explores what constitutes ‘good evidence for policy’, as well as the ‘good use of evidence’ within policy processes, and considers how to build evidence-advisory institutions that embed key principles of both scientific good practice and democratic representation. Taken as a whole, the approach promoted is termed the ‘good governance of evidence’ – a concept that represents the use of rigorous, systematic and technically valid pieces of evidence within decision-making processes that are representative of, and accountable to, populations served.
Svinjogojska proizvodnja na području Banovine ima dugu tradiciju, te značajan udio u stočarskoj te ukupnoj poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji. S obzirom na trenutno stanje svinjogojske proizvodnje i ...komparativne prednosti, postoje pretpostavke za daljnji razvoj svinjogojstva na Banovini. To se posebno odnosi na poticanje ekološke proizvodnje svinjskog mesa i prilagodbu Europskom zelenom planu, marketinško pozicioniranje mesnih prerađevina s dodanom vrijednošću s područja Banovine te povezivanje mesne industrije s uzgajivačima svinja. Pri tome je potrebno napraviti dodatni iskorak u promjeni strukture farmi prema broju rasplodnih grla, posebice obiteljskih gospodarstava, te edukaciji uzgajivača. Uz ekološki prihvatljiviji način držanja, koji rasplodnim svinjama i tovljenicima omogućuje prirodno ponašanje i time povećanu dobrobit, može se postići dodana vrijednost suhomesnatih i drugih proizvoda. Posebnost predstavlja banijska šara svinja, čija rastuća populacija može doprinijeti razvoju i dodatnoj vrijednosti svinjogojske proizvodnje na području Banovine.
Pig production in the Banovina region has a long tradition and a high share in livestock and overall agricultural production. Given the current state of pig production and comparative advantages, there are assumptions for the further development of pig farming in the Banovina region. This is especially important in the context of organic pork production and adaptation to the European Green Deal, positioning of cured meat products from the Banovina region on the market and integration of the already existing meat industry with pig farmers. In addition, it is necessary to take another step to improve the farm structure in terms of the number of sows per farm, focusing on family farms. The added value of cured meat products can be achieved with more environmentally friendly rearing methods, which allow for natural behavior of breeding and fattening pigs and thus higher welfare. A special feature is the Banija spotted pig with a growing population that can contribute to the development and added value of pig production in the Banovina region.
Poklic visokošolskega učitelja je večplasten in večdimenzionalen. Visokošolski učitelj deluje namreč kot raziskovalec in učitelj, kar v praksi pomeni, da mora vzporedno skrbeti za svoj profesionalni ...razvoj na dveh ravneh: raziskovalni in pedagoški. Analize kažejo, da je pedagoško delo v primerjavi z znanstvenoraziskovalnim, ki ima večji vpliv na karierno napredovanje, zapostavljeno. Namen preglednega znanstvenega članka je preučiti profesionalni razvoj visokošolskega učitelja, predvsem z vidika pedagoškega dela. V prvem delu je pozornost usmerjena v doktorski študij, ki je izhodišče kariernega in profesionalnega razvoja visokošolskega učitelja, v drugem delu pa v dejavnike, ki spodbujajo nadaljnje izobraževanje in usposabljanje visokošolskih učiteljev.Poklic visokošolskega učitelja je večplasten in večdimenzionalen.

Zmanjševanje regionalnih razvojnih razlik in uravnotežen razvoj, temelječ na načelih trajnostnega razvoja, sta osrednja cilja regionalne politike v Sloveniji, zato v članku preučujemo uspešnost ...slovenskih regij pri doseganju teh ciljev na socialno-ekonomskem in okoljskem področju po letu 2010. V ta namen so bili preučeni štirje sintezni kazalniki (bruto domači proizvod na prebivalca, ekološki odtis na prebivalca, indeks razvojne ogroženosti in kazalnik trajnostnega regionalnega razvoja) in 32 posameznih ekonomskih, socialnih in okoljskih kazalnikov, ki so vključeni tudi v izračun kazalnika trajnostnega regionalnega razvoja. Večina ekonomskih in socialnih kazalnikov kaže približevanje strateškim razvojnim ciljem, večina okoljskih pa oddaljevanje od njih.
