This study, employing a post-test only experimental design, addresses this gap by inclu...
This paper presents an application of an open architecture control system implemented on a multi-axis wood computer numerical control milling machining center, as a digital twin control.

The concept of sustainable tourism is more than a piecemeal policy solution which Agyeman and Evans (2004) described as “just sustainability”; it indicates above all the concept of holistic development and finding such solutions that solve the integrity of the human problems. Therefore, the current generation that is undertaking the governance of t...
Tourism, as an economic activity is incorporated in various elements of the culture of receptive destinations, but also in elements of cultural traditions of emitting regions. One part of the approach to observing tourism as a social process lies in the human need for rest, and for establishing emotional balance, which is damaged through repetitive...

Increased number of tourists traveling abroad has been on a steady rise for several decades. However, an explosion of tourist travel can be followed from the end of the 1960’s. This trend largely coincides with the development of the neoliberalist form of capitalism in the world. Therefore, modern tourism, in many ways, can be seen as the product o...

Stereotypes, as a relatively inflexible form of cognitive organization, serve in the organization of personal experience. They are relatively difficult to change and take a relatively long time. In our study we have tried to examine whether some traditional stereotypes of "counsellors" have altered during more than three years of work by members of...
Alienation is by definition congruent to the status of refugees and displaced persons. Almost in all areas of individual and social life, refugees and displaced persons live a life deprived of its basic dimensions. However, it seems that the perception of the difficulty and complexity of the refugee's and displaced person's situation is far more se...
„Psihologizacija“ socijalnog rada tema je koja se povremeno pojavljuje u raspravama o sadržaju, a posebno o metodama socijalnog rada.

Modern tourism planning and development of a destination should include input from all levels of society, including different age groups and varying interest groups within a local community. However, it is very rare that, in the process of participatory planning, youths and school groups are invited to express their views on development plans or have the opportunity to take an active part in decisionmaking.
