Na primeru projekta stambenog objekta na brdu Vinik, nadomak Niša, predstavljeni su osnovni principi bioklimatske arhitekture. Obrazložen je način oblikovanja i materijalizacije objekta koji ne narušava izgled okruženja i teži da se uklopi u prirodno stvoreni pejsaž. Na primeru ovog objekta pokazan je način funkcionisanja sva tri tipa sistema pasivnog zahvata sunčeve energije za grejanje objekta, odnosno sistem direktnih, indirektnih i izolovanih dobitaka.

Rad je baziran na analizi nosećih arhitektonskih konstrukcija i mogućim negativnim uticajima koji na njih utiču. Istraživanje je usmereno ka definisanju metoda produženja upotrebnog veka i trajnosti arhitektonskih konstrukcija. Oštećenje koncepta noseće konstrukcije, značilo bi i povredu funkcionalnosti, forme i estetike objekta. Izbor materijala i sistema noseće konstrukcije je važan sa aspekta arhitektonskog projektovanja, oblikovanja i funkcionalnosti, ali i sigurnosti i pouzdanosti. U tom smislu, trajnost konstrukcije višestruko je važna, kako za arhitektonsku formu tako i za značaj objekta. Izbor materijala, koji se smatra krucijalnim u smislu trjnosti konstrukcije, a izabran prema funkcionalnoj nameni je energetski održiv. Upravo u radu se ističe značaj životne sredine i njihov uticaj na trajnost materijala i konstrukcija sa ciljem da se i projektantima konstrukcija nametne kao imput u modeliranju proračunskih modela.

This paper presents the types, functions and technologies using geo-synthetic material with an analysis of their use in the construction,rehabilitation, reconstruction, substitution, repair and maintenance of forest roads. Geo-synthetics are all building materials in the form of synthetic origin polymers (polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester) that are used in a variety of geotechnical structures in the construction industry in general, and in the forest construction. Although there is great potential for their application, these materials have not been used in engineering of forest roads in Serbia.

Small and medium companies can significantly increase their competitiveness by interconnecting into business clusters, business incubators or technology parks. This interconnection contributes to the growth and development of not only cluster members, but has a regional and a national dimension. Without it, there can be no significant penetration into international markets. Due to all these factors, the issue of encouraging cluster connectivity must be given much greater attention in Serbia. In addition to a simulative economic policy, the process of development of clusters must be based on adequate human potentials where the key place belongs to the management of companies in a cluster and the management of the entire cluster.

The main aim of the paper is to identify education quality focused on the need to make profound connection with the business environment with the goal of employability of graduates. The findings suggest that flow of ideas and information with focus on knowledge within the cluster serves as a powerful force for potential change in educational systems where links between practice and theory are firmly grounded and applied as the means to develop appropriate teaching and pedagogical strategies to meet the student’s needs.

Udruživanje naučno-istraživačkih institucija u doba globalizacije i svetske ekonomske krize, sve više dobija na značaju početkom XXI veka. Time bi se pojednostavila razmena informacija, novih tehnologija i usavršavanje istraživačkog kadra. Radom je obuhvaćen pristup zasnovan na klasterskom povezivanju naučnih organizacija u COST.

Pet globalnih trendova obeležava savremenu svetsku ekonomiju: reciprocitet (kao glavno načelo međunarodne ekonomske integracije), integracija organizacija u svetsku privredu kroz saveze-alijanse-klastere, reinženjering, velike i radikalne promene u strukturi organizacija, ispitivanje funkcije, uloge i legitimnost menadžmenta, dominacija brzih promena u međunarodnoj, državnoj i poslovnoj politici nad internom ekonomijom. Početak 21 veka je okarakterisan pojavom partnerstva–alijansi-klastera globalnog ekonomskog fenomena, koji ne stavlja u prvi plan pravo kontrole i vlasničku dimenziju, već efekat strategijskog menadžmenta, a strukturi članova daje veći značaj od vlasničkih odnosa. Glavni cilj je pokriti sve tehnologije i tržišta koja su bitna za odredjeni proizvod-uslugu, redukovanja troškova i rizika istraživanja i razvoja novih proizvoda i procesa, izbegavanje uvozne barijere, postizanje ekonomije obima ujedinjenjem snaga u oblasti marketinga, finansija i proizvodnje. U poslednjih pet godina, broj ovakvih saveza raste po stopi od 5 % na godišnjem nivou.

Industrial clusters as an exceptional form of self organizing of industry in contemporary conditions, according to our concept of mechanism for improvement of competitiveness in industry represents one of the cranks of such a mechanism (besides the development strategy, industrial policy and quality strategy. This work paper has as a starting point considerations of the issues related to definition, establishment, location, development and role of a cluster in the process of improvement of competitiveness in industry. 

The concept of a cluster facilitator has only been recently elaborated in economic literature, whereas sources of information on cluster facilitators on the territory of Serbia are scarce. Therefore, further in the text the role and the significance of a cluster facilitator will be demonstrated through an empirical aspect of activities and operation of LEDIB Cluster House. That particular aspect implies examples of good practice of cluster facilitators from other countries cooperating with Cluster House in enhancing interaction and exchange of experience. LEDIB Program has invested significant resources in the training of the cluster facilitators and the following text represents a combination of acquired theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The most significant series of cluster facilitators training modules organized by the Cluster House was held in REG X Danish Cluster Academy, so that some of the definitions and conclusions cited in the text have been taken from the experts working at this prominent institution for the cluster development.
