The work is inspired by the personal collection of the author, which was supposed to be the foundation of the private Museum of Fine Books, and whose realization was interrupted due to administrative obstacles. The very idea of the book as a museum and art object has been emphasized in several works by the author, so this is more a combination of beautiful and rare books as sources of new knowledge presented in a personal way, as the collection was created. Due to the size of the text and the amount of illustrations in this issue of the Osječki zbornik, we are publishing the third of the paper. The term “beautiful book” is often associated with Henry D. Kahnweiler, who in 1909 began publishing a series of books by famous avant-garde contemporary writers (Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, André Malraux, Erik Satie, Gertrude Stein, Tristan Tzara, Maurice de Vlaminck and others) illustrated by avant-garde contemporary painters (André Derain, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, G. Braque, E. Lascaux, Juan Gris, Maurice de Vlaminck). On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of D.-H. Kahnweiler, a brilliant small catalog was published in 1959 at the Galerie Louise Leiris (November 13 - December 19, 1959). Its content, as well as Kahnweiler’s dedication to Ivo Steiner and his wife Odette Masson (maiden Cabalè), “made” me start a “crazy project” of collecting beautiful books. Well, some others as well! The selection of books related in any way to Croatia, i.e. Croatian writers and painters who illustrated them, was perhaps the most difficult, and in the end, some of them may not be considered very beautiful books, but as the criteria are very diverse, perhaps there are more beautiful examples which are left for some ther occasion, and to me the more interesting ones are presented here. Thus, the book dedicated to Silvio Strahimir Kranjčević “Poems” is exceptionally illustrated and with many additional interesting details, perhaps the best example of a “beautiful book”, while “Bridges of the Elite” by Mirko Kus-Nikolajev is primarily interesting illustration on the cover of Slavko Kopača from 1940. In a way, this also applies to Ljubo Babić’s cover for August Cesarec’s “Emperor’s Kingdom” from 1925 and Milivoj Uzelac’s cover for Herbert George Wells’ “Battle of the Worlds” from 1923, which, despite their artistic qualities and modernity, are true small artistic masterpieces. The book “Donkey in Love” by Louis Couperus” from 1923, with three cooper etchings by Marijan Trepše, despite being a modest technical work, is nevertheless a true example of a contemporary, artistically illustrated beautiful book. Marijan Mikac’s book of Zenitist poems, published in Belgrade in Cyrillic in 1923 (“Zenit“ Edition), “Effect on the defact“ (Efekt na defektu”) may be the least beautiful book, but it is certainly the most special for several reasons. This rare edition of the Croatian writer and cultural worker Marijan Mikac, in addition to its artistic and political current affairs (Dadaism/Zenitism; Zagreb/Belgrade), has a great cover illustration by Jo Klek, i.e. the Croatian architect and contemporary artist Josip Seissl, who most likely did the entire Dadaist /zenitistic typography. I chose “magic formula 6 + 6 + 6” as a selection from our small collection of beautiful books and publications to try to conjure up the term “beautiful book”, but also because the selected books have some links with our artists, writers, people and events, and who have left their mark on them in various ways. The printed content of books here is mostly just illustration to illustrations, and notes, dedications, covers, illustrations, information about the book as an object (number of pieces, type of paper, publisher, printer, price, etc.) are actually a topic or riddle to be solved.

Austro-pruski rat započeo je sredinom lipnja 1866. godine kao uzrok borbe za prevlast nad Njemačkim savezom između Austrijskog Carstva i Kraljevine Pruske, a u koji se umiješala i Kraljevina Italija u svrhu zadovoljenja teritorijalnih ambicija. Rat je završio nakon sedam tjedana potpunom pobjedom Pruske koja je postala neupitni gospodar Njemačke i jezgrom budućeg njemačkog ujedinjenja. Italija je unatoč neuspjesima i na kopnu i na moru dobila traženi teritorij. Poražena Austrija bila je primorana na nagodbu s Mađarima te je država preustrojena u dvojnu Austro-Ugarsku. Rat je imao i veliki utjecaj na daljnji razvoj vojnog umijeća, budući da je brzina reformirane pruske vojske šokirala svijet koji je bio uvjeren u dugi krvavi rat koji će završiti austrijskom pobjedom. Koliko je šokantna bila pruska pobjeda, svjedoči razvoj naoružanja i vojne organizacije u sljedećih par godina nakon kraja sukoba 1866. The Austro-Prussian war began mid-June 1866 as a consequence of power struggles between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia inside the German Confederation, and which the Kingdom of Italy joined with the intent of gaining territory. The war ended after seven weeks with a decisive Prussian victory, which in turn led to the aforementioned to become the undisputed master over Germany and the nucleus of the future unification of Germany. Italy, although defeated on land and sea, gained the territory she was after. Austria, as the defeated party, was forced to compromise with the Magyars and a reformation of the Empire into the dual Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The war left quite an impact in the development of military affairs as well, since the speed of victory accomplished by the reformed Prussian Army shocked the world which was convinced that will end with an Austrian victory after years of bloody struggle. How shocking the Prussian victory was, is telling by the rapid development of armaments and military organization in the next couple of years after the conflict of 1866 ended.

Covid-19 krīzes periodā novērojot un analizējot izmaiņas Latvijas, Vācijas un Austrijas bobsleja U23 grupas komandu darbībā, tika realizēts pētījums “Bobsleja sporta sasniegumu ietekmējošie faktori Covid-19 krīzes otrajā posmā”. To veido vairāku pētnieku teorētiskās atziņas par sportošanas motivāciju, pieredzi, faktoriem, kas to ietekmē un izsauc nopietnas izmaiņas ikdienā un sporta karjerā. Pētījuma mērķis – noskaidrot, kā vīrusa Covid-19 pandēmijas apstākļos izmainījās Latvijas, Vācijas un Austrijas bobslejistu sportošanas motivācija. Pētījuma otrajā daļā ar aptaujas metodes palīdzību noskaidrots, kā Covid-19 karantīnas apstākļi ir ietekmējuši Latvijas, Vācijas un Austrijas bobsleja U23 grupas komandas. No pētījuma izriet diezgan liela atšķirība starp Latvijas, Vācijas un Austrijas bobslejistu sportošanas motivācijas izmaiņām Covid-19 karantīnas dēļ, atklājot atšķirīgus trenēšanās apstākļus, kas austriešu un vācu komandā ir krietni labāki nekā Latvijas izlasei. Savukārt tieši treniņu process Austrijas un Vācijas bobsleja komandā ir manāmi mainījies., Observing and analyzing changes in the activities of Latvian and Austrian bobsleigh U23 teams due to the Covid-19 crisis, the study “Impact of the Pandemic on the Motivation and Attitude of Latvian and Austrian Bobsleigh Players towards Sports Achievements” was carried out. It consists of the theoretical insights of researchers about the motivation of sports, experience, various factors that influence it and cause serious changes in everyday life and sports careers. The aim of the study was to find out how the motivation of Latvian and Austrian bobsleighers changed in the conditions of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. In the second part of the study, with the help of the survey method, it was found out how the quarantine conditions of Covid-19 have affected the teams of the Latvian and Austrian bobsleigh U23 group. The study reveals a rather large difference between the changes in the motivation of Latvian and Austrian bobsleighers due to Covid-19 quarantine, revealing different training conditions, which are much better for the Austrian team than for the Latvian team. On the other hand, the training process in the Austrian bobsleigh team has changed more significantly.

Hercegovački ustanak iz 1882. godine, kao i ustanci koji su mu prethodili, predstavljaju vrlo specifično razdoblje historije Bosne i Hercegovine i njenih naroda. Brojna su istraživanja vršena na ovu temu s namjerom pobližeg pojašnjenja i određenja važnosti ovih ustanaka za cjelokupno bosanskohercegovačko društvo i njenu poziciju u svjetskim tokovima. Građa o tome nalazi se u baštinskim ustanovama širom države, ali i van njenih granica. Cilj je rada da predstavi rezultate istraživanja i objedinjavanja građe iz zaostavštine Hamdije Kapidžića i dokumenata o Hercegovačkom ustanku u fondovima NUBBiH, Arhiva BiH, Akademije nauka i umjetnosti Bosne i Hercegovine i fondovima austrijskih biblioteka i arhiva. Predstavljena građa iskazana je kroz bibliografiju sa pratećim registrima te će, nadamo se, služiti kao polazna tačka svim istraživačima i korisnicima koji se bave ovom tematikom te ujedno iznova donijeti važan osvrt i bibliografski iskaz ovog dijela naše historije., The Herzegovina uprising in 1882, as the uprisings that preceded it, represent a specific period in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Numerous studies were conducted to clarify this topic and the significance of the Herzegovinian uprising for the entire Bosnian society and its position in world trends. We can find sources on this topic in heritage institutions throughout the country and outside its borders. This work aims to present the results of research and unification of materials from the legacy of Hamdija Kapidžić and documents about the Herzegovina Uprising in the funds of the NULB&H, Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the funds of Austrian libraries and archives. The material is presented through a bibliography with accompanying registers and will serve as a starting point for all researchers and users dealing with this topic. At the same time, it will bring a significant overview of this part of our history. In this article, we will present the ongoing project “Protection and presentation of the Poljica Documents Archive from the Collection of Aleksandar Poljanić” and so far, the results and ultimate goals of this project.

U ovom su radu objedinjeni životopisi autora prvih povjesnica o Vojnoj krajini, čiji radovi čine nezaobilaznu ‘nultu točku’ istraživanja osobito u povijesnoj znanosti, ali i u širim društveno-humanističkim znanostima. Rekonstrukcija njihovih života napravljena je na temelju dosad objavljenih podataka u sekundarnoj literaturi, a praznine u njihovim biografijama pokušavalo se, gdje je to bilo moguće, popunjavati pomoću relevantnih mjesečnih vojnih popisa, prateće dokumentacije tih popisa i matičnih knjiga. Najviše su pritom pomogle potvrde o premještaju, koje osim osnovnih podataka o osobnom životu nude i vrlo detaljan pregled napredovanja u profesionalnoj karijeri. Istim je spisima bilo moguće ispraviti i neke pogreške u njihovim objavljenim životopisima koje su se dosad provlačile., This paper brings together biographies of the earliest historiographers of the Military Frontier, whose works represent the inevitable “zero point” in historical disciplines as well as the humanities at large. These historiographers include Johann Andreas Demian (ca. 1770 – 1845), Carl Bernhard von Hietzinger (November 3, 1786 – March 26, 1864), Mathias Stopfer (1795 – September 8, 1841), Franz de Paula Julius Frass (1794 – March 11, 1868), Paul Kussan (January 12, 1795 – February 2, 1875), Franz Bach (1793 – February 3, 1868), Josef Hostinek (1830 – January 10, 1905), Leopold Martin Krainz (born around 1820), and Franz Vaniček (July 6, 1809 – April 6, 1894). Their lives were reconstructed on the basis of previously published data in secondary literature, and gaps were filled in, where possible, with the help of relevant monthly army censuses, the accompanying documentation, and registry books. Transfer certificates, which in addition to basic information on personal lives offer a very detailed overview of progress in the professional career, helped the most. Using these documents, it was possible to correct some overlooked errors in the previously published biographies. Comparing the biographies of the first historiographers of the Military Frontier, the authors have noticed some very interesting similarities as well as differences. Most of the studied persons were officials of the Military Frontier administration, except for Demian and Hietzinger, who belonged to the highest military council in Vienna, and Krainz, who partly made his career in a military unit. Three of them were prominent members of educational staff in the Military Frontier. Stopfer was a professor at the Military Administration School in Graz, Frass was the principal of all schools in the Karlovac Generalate, and Vaniček was the principal of the Higher Grammar School in Vinkovci. Bach and Krainz served as military judges. Historiographers with most writings relevant to the Military Frontier are Demian, Stopfer and Vaniček. Hietzinger, Kussan, Bach, Hostinek, and Krainz published one seminal work each. While at the beginning the emphasis was on statistics and geography, from the mid-19th century the focus increasingly shifted to historical events. Most authors based themselves on works published before theirs: Hietzinger on Demian, Stopfer on Hietzinger, Frass on Hietzinger and Stopfer, and so on. However, the most interesting discoveries about their personal and professional lives concern the way these were intertwined. Based on the available and collected data, it could be established that seven of the nine mentioned persons lived to be between 74 and 84 years old. Stopfer died the youngest, at the age of 45, and it was not possible to find out Krainz’s date of death. A combination of high age and a long professional career, which implied frequent transfers, created favourable conditions for possible encounters. Between 1828 and 1830, Stopfer and Bach served simultaneously in the Otočac Regiment, Hostinek was a student of Vaniček and then Stopfer, and Vaniček was member of a society whose president was Hietzinger, the Imperial and Royal Geographical Society in Vienna (k. k. Geographische Gesellschaft). Although the authors of this paper have tried to shed as much light as possible on the careers of historiographers whose works have been indispensable guideposts on the path of scholarly knowledge about the Military Frontier as a historical phenomenon, the primary intention was to encourage further research into this understudied historical topic.

Gastronomija obuhvaća sve ono što se odnosi na kuhanje, kuharsku vještinu i s tim u vezi. U širem smislu obuhvaća gurmanstvo, sladokustvo, a u najširem smislu vezu kulture i hrane, odnosno umjetnost prehrane, kulinarsku umjetnost. Hrana je svaka tvar koja pruža hranjive tvari potrebne za održavanje života i rasta kad se proguta. Dokumenti govore da su još prije više tisuća godina civilizirani narodi imali visoko razvijeno kuharstvo. Tu se posebno ističu Perzijanci, Kinezi, Egipćani, Grci i Rimljani. Hrana i turizam konvergiraju se u širem društvenom diskursu koji se tiče stvaranja identiteta. Kulinarski turizam je okvir za povezivanje skupa pojma perspektive i raznolikosti slučajeva u kojima se načini prehrane smatraju reprezentativnim drugim. Preko hrane možemo izraziti identitet, odnose, ideologije i emocije, kao i ispuniti osnovne fizičke potrebe. Srednjoeuropska kuhinja je specifična po tome što su sastojci u tradicionalnim jelima diktirani su po tome što se može uzgajati u hladnoj, često vlažnoj klimi. Uobičajeni sastojci su krumpir, grah, kupus i vrste povrća kao kupus, repa, jaja, mliječni proizvodi, svinjetina, govedina, riba i morski plodovi iz Baltičkog mora, slatkovodna riba iz lokalnih jezera i rijeka, jabuke, raž, pšenica i ječam. Njemačka je demokratska parlamentarna savezna država koja se sastoji od 13 saveznih država i tri samostalna grada pokrajine. Kuhinja Njemačke je podijeljena na kuhinju Schleswig- Holsteins, Hamburga, Donje Saske, Westfalena, Reinländera, Kölna, Pfälzera, Švaba, Bavarske, Badena, Hessijanaca, Thüringerima, Saksonaca, Berlina, Istočne Pruske, Pomeranaca i Mecklenburgovaca. Austrija je država koja je parlamentarna zastupnička demokracija, ima oko 8,7 milijuna stanovnika i nalazi se u srednjoj Europi. Austrija je podijeljena na regije: Gradišće, Kärnten, Steiermark, Tirol, Vorarlberg, Donja i Gornja Austrija te svaka od njih ima posebna gastronomska obilježja. Švicarska je podijeljena na ukupno 26 kantona te je atraktivno mjesto za zimski turizam. Kuhinja Švicarske je internacionalna i označavaju je utjecaji talijanskih, francuskih i njemačkih regija. U radu je prikazana analiza upitnika koji je napravljen u svrhu uvida kulinarskih jezičnih utjecaja zemalja njemačkog govornog područja na području Hrvatske. Gastronomy encompasses everything related to cooking, cooking skills and related. In a broader sense, it encompasses gourmet food, sweetness, and in the broadest sense, the connection between culture and food, actually, the art of eating, culinary art. Food is any substance that provides the nutrients needed to sustain life and growth when ingested. Documents say that thousands of years ago, civilized nations had highly developed cooking. The Persians, Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans stand out here. Food and tourism converge in a broader social discourse concerning identity creation. Culinary tourism is a framework for linking a set of notions of perspective and diversity of cases in which diets are considered representative to others. Through food we can express identity, relationships, ideologies and emotions, as well as fulfill basic physical needs. Central European cuisine is specific in for the ingredients in traditional dishes which are dictated by the fact that it can be grown in a cold, often humid climate. Common ingredients are potatoes, beans, cabbage and vegetables such as cabbage, beets, eggs, dairy products, pork, beef, fish and seafood from the Baltic Sea, freshwater fish from local lakes and rivers, apples, rye, wheat and barley. Germany is a democratic parliamentary federal state consisting of 13 federal states and three independent cities of the province. German cuisine is divided into the cuisine of Schleswig- Holsteins, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Westphalia, Reinländer, Cologne, Pfälzer, Swabia, Bavaria, Baden, Hessians, Thüringers, Saxons, Berlin, East Prussia, Pomeranians and Mecklenburg. Austria is a country that is a parliamentary democracy, has about 8.7 million inhabitants and is located in Central Europe. Austria is divided into regions: Burgenland, Carinthia, Styria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Lower and Upper Austria, and each of them has special gastronomic features. Switzerland is divided into a total of 26 cantons and is an attractive place for winter tourism. Swiss cuisine is international and is characterized by the influences of the Italian, French and German regions. The paper presents an analysis of a questionnaire made for the purpose of insighting the culinary language influences of German-speaking countries in Croatia.

Tema ovog završnog rada je kulturni turizam Njemačke i Austrije. Cilj rada bio je predstaviti materijalnu i nematerijalnu kulturnu baštinu ovih dviju zemalja i modele njezine valorizacije, poput projekta Europske prijestolnice kulture i upisa na UNESCO-ovu listu Svjetske baštine. Svrha istraživanja je elaborirati mogućnost održive valorizacije bogate kulturne baštine Austrije i Njemačke kroz kulturni turizam. Polazna hipoteza je da Njemačka i Austrija predstavljaju europske primjere dobre prakse u održivoj valorizaciji kulturne baštine kroz inovativne projekte kulturnog turizma. The topic of this paper is the cultural tourism of Germany and Austria. The aim of the paper was to present the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of these two countries and models of its valorization, such as the European Capital of Culture project and inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The purpose of the research is to elaborate the possibility of sustainable valorization of the rich cultural heritage of Austria and Germany through cultural tourism. The starting hypothesis is that Germany and Austria represent European examples of good practice in the sustainable valorization of cultural heritage through innovative cultural tourism projects. The introductory part of the paper contains the topic of the paper, goals and purpose of the research, the initial hypothesis and the used scientific methods. The second chapter deals with the analysis of the concepts of culture and tourism, as well as cultural tourism as the fastest growing segment of tourism. The third part of the paper describes the cultural tourism of Germany and Austria, while the fourth chapter deals with the cities that were part of the European Capital of Culture project. The fifth part contains a protected heritage that is on the UNESCO list, along with projects organized by UNESCO for the development of culture. The sixth part of the paper is a case study through the elaboration of the project "Creative Cities Network", and the last part of the paper is the conclusion in which the research results are presented and where the hypothesis is confirmed. This final paper is based on the definition and explanation of cultural tourism. The tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the states of Germany and Austria and the most famous sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage List were processed. A special chapter presents the European Capitals of Culture from Austria and Germany. At the end, a case study of the Creative Cities of Europe project was presented on the example of Berlin - a creative city of design. In the conclusion, the potentials for the development of cultural tourism were elaborated by the sustainable valorization of the processed cultural heritage of Austria and Germany.

Postizanje niskougljičnih ciljeva traži značajno ubrzanje u tranziciji s tradicionalnih fosilnih proizvodnih postrojenja prema onima temeljenim na obnovljivim izvorima energije. Proizvodnja energije iz vjetra ima važnu ulogu u smanjenju emisija stakleničkih plinova te kako tehnologija napreduje, od malih vjetroagregata postala je dominantna tehnologija u trenutnom sastavu izvora energije. Starija postrojenja približavaju se kraju svog životnog vijeka, pa čak i ona koja nisu pri kraju svog vijeka čine se puno lošijima od modernih vjetroturbina s mogućnošću proizvodnje više snage i energije na istoj lokaciji. Zamjena zastarjele tehnologije poznata je kao proces obnove kapaciteta ili repowering. Iako proces donosi očite koristi, potrebno ga je pažljivo analizirati iz perspektive rada elektroenergetskog sustava jer bi mogao značajno utjecati na trenutno vođenje elektroenergetskog sustava. Cilj diplomskog rada je analizirati potencija povećanja proizvodnje energije vjetra procesom obnove kapaciteta u Austriji do 2030 i 2050. godine. Primjenom tehnološkog učenja u radu će se analizirati povećanje prinosa obnavljanjem kapaciteta postojećih vjetroelektrana. Prikazat će se sustavna analiza kroz razvijene modele i analizirati dinamičko povećanje izlaza vjetra, kao i potencijalna potreba za smanjenjem vršne snage vjetra. Achieving low carbon goals requires an acceleration in replacing the conventional fossil fuel-based generation with renewable sources. Wind generation plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emission and, as the technology advances, has gone from small wind turbine installations to becoming a dominant technology in today's electricity mix. The older installations are getting close to the end of their lifetime, but even in cases when they are not, they seem inferior to the modern wind turbines with the capability to harvest more power and energy in the same location. Replacing the outdated technology is known as the process of repowering and while it brings obvious benefits it also needs to be carefully analyzed from the perspective of power system operation as it might significantly impact the current operational practices. The goal of the thesis is to analyze the potential of increasing wind energy generation due to repowering in Austria up to 2030 and 2050. By employing technology learning, thesis will analyze the increase in yield from repowering the existing wind power plants. It will provide a systematic analysis, through developed models, and analyze dynamic increases in the outputs of wind as well as the potential necessity to curtail peak-wind power.

Polazeći od pretpostavke da diskursi pod nazivom orijentalizam i balkanizam ne obuhvaćaju u osnovi bogate kulturne odnose između Srednje Europe i Sredozemlja, tvrdim da je potrebno istraživanje trećeg diskursa pod radnim nazivom mediteranizam, tj. kulturna imaginacija Sredozemlja kao misaone i književne figure u europskom pismu. Glavna je zadaća razraditi povijest pojma mediteranizam, deducirati heurističke teoretske hipoteze te provesti kontrastivnu i komplementarnu komparaciju ovih triju diskursa. Pritom treba imati na umu da su ta tri diskursa istovremeno isprepletena i suprotstavljena u načinima na koje Europa zamišlja samu sebe. Osim toga, sadrže cijeli niz osjetilnih, osjećajnih i spoznajnih opreka i proturječnosti, koje će se istražiti na odabranim primjerima njemačkih djela novog doba., Unter der Annahme, dass der Orientalismus und Balkanismus nicht einmal rudimentär die reichhaltigen interkulturellen Beziehungen zwischen Europa und dem Mittelmeer erfasst, argumentiert die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit, dass es nötig ist, einen weiteren Diskurs in Ermangelung einer besseren Bezeichnung unter dem Namen Mediterranismus einzubeziehen. Darunter sind kulturelle Imaginationen des Mittelmeeres als philosophische und poetische Denkfigur der europäischen Schriftkultur zu verstehen. Die Hauptaufgabe ist dabei auf der Grundlage der Begriffsgeschichte in Fragmenten und der Deduktion der heuristischen theoretischen Hypothesen eine Rekonstruktion und kontrastive und komplementäre Komparation dieser drei Diskursformationen durchzuführen, unter der Einsicht, dass sie unter den Bedingungen der Moderne bei der europäischen Selbstbesinnung zugleich entgegengesetzt und miteinander verwoben sind. Daher enthalten sie eine ganze Reihe von perzeptiven, affektiven und kognitiven Gegensätzen und Widersprüchen, die gesondert in weiteren Forschungsarbeiten zu untersuchen sind.

Frane Bulić, Josip Brunšmid i Viktor Hoffiller were active during a period known for various scientific advances. During the 19th century the theoretical and methodological frameworks for different scientific fields began to form, including the fields in which the three aforemen-tioned scientists were active - history and archaeology. They finished their higher education at the Vienna School of Archaeology, one of the foremost centres for the education of young researchers at the time, which placed them in the centre of events in the Austrian scientific community. During this stage of their education, they were able to follow the research of leading scientists in the fields of archaeology, history, art history and philology (e.g. Alexan-der Conze, Otto Hirschfeld, Otto Benndorf, Moriz Hoernes, etc.) and were able to familiarise themselves with different theories and methodologies proposed by the those scientists. This thesis will first give an overview of the processes, concepts and people deemed as most influential for the formation of the scientific fields of history and archaeology during the 19th and 20th century, with a pronounced focus on the scientific community of Germany and Austria. The second part of the thesis will focus on how the previously presented processes affected the work of Bulić, Brunšmid and Hoffiller, their theoretical and methodological framework, and how it helped them transfer the framework into the Croatian scientific community.

2008. gadā ECB, reaģējot uz finanšu krīzi, pielāgoja monetāro politiku, samazinot galveno procentu likmi un veicot likviditāti. Mainot Eurosistēmas likviditāti un galvenās procentu likmes, citi finanšu mainīgie lielumi ekonomikā var tikt manipulēti. Bakalaura darbā tika pētīta monetārās politikas ietekme uz finanšu mainīgo kopumu Austrijā un Vācijā laikā no 2009. līdz 2019. gadam. Reaģējot uz monetāro politiku, akciju un mājokļu cenas pieauga. Akcijas kļuva pievilcīgākas mājsaimniecībām, savukārt citi finanšu aktīvi, piemēram, obligācijas, kļuva mazāk pievilcīgi. Uzņēmumiem bija tendence ieguldīt vairāk, un valdībām izdevās samazināt deficītu., In 2008 the ECB adapted its monetary policy in response to the financial crisis, by decreasing the key interest rate and injecting liquidity. By changing the liquidity and key interest rates of the Euro system, other financial variables in the economy can be manipulated. This bachelor thesis researched the effect of the monetary policy on a set of financial variables in Austria and Germany between 2009 and 2019. In response to the monetary policy, the prices for stocks and housing increased. Stocks became more attractive for households, whereas other financial assets such as bonds became less attractive. Companies tended to invest more, and the governments managed to decrease their deficit.

Razvojem tržišta osiguranja dolazi do razvoja strategija poslovanja u osiguravajućim društvima. Sve veća konkurencija postavlja pred osiguravajuća društva sve veće izazove. Euroherc osiguranje d.d. kao vodeće osiguravajuće društvo neživotnog osiguranja, 2015. godine odlučilo je proširiti svoje poslovanje na tržište Europske unije odabravši Austriju kao potencijalno tržište rasta. Kako bi dodatno ojačalo svoju tržišnu poziciju i na tržištu EU, Euroherc osiguranje d.d. odlučilo se 2015. godine na ulazak na austrijsko tržište. Odabir ovog tržišta povezan je sa samom strukturom tržišta, činjenicom da u Austriji živi i radi puno ljudi iz Hrvatske i BiH te poznatost konkurencije koja je prisutna i na hrvatskom tržištu. S druge strane Austrija je jedna od najstabilnijih politički-ekonomskih država Europe s visokom kupovnom moći i stabilnim BDP-om, niskom razinom korupcije i kriminala s tržištem koje je otvoreno konkurentskom poslovanju. Fokusiran pristup omogućio je brzu diferencijaciju kao osiguravajućem društvu koje pruža brzu i kvalitetnu uslugu iz područja autoosiguranja. S druge strane, snažna konkurencija koja je prisutna na austrijskom tržištu tradicionalno je kod klijenata stvorila lojalnost za pojedine kategorije osiguranja (životna, imovina) što bi za Euroherc osiguranje d.d. bio veliki ulagački zahvat s malim povratom novca. Pokazalo se da je odabir strategije bio dobar jer Euroherc osiguranje d.d. u 2020. godine ostvaruje rast. The development of the insurance market leads to the development of business strategies in insurance companies. Increasing competition poses increasing challenges to insurance companies. In 2015, Euroherc osiguranje, as the leading non-life insurance company, decided to expand its business to the European Union market, choosing Austria as a potential growth market. In order to further strengthen its market position in the EU market, Euroherc osiguranje decided in 2015 to enter the Austrian market. The choice of this market is related to the structure of the market, the fact that many people from Croatia and BiH live and work in Austria, and the knowledge of competition that is present in the Croatian market. On the other hand, Austria is one of the most stable political and economic countries in Europe with high purchasing power and stable GDP, low levels of corruption and crime, and a market that is open to competitive business. A focused approach has enabled them to quickly differentiate themselves as an insurance company that provide fast and quality service in the field of car insurance. On the other hand, the strong competition present in the Austrian market has traditionally created customer loyalty for certain categories of insurance (life, property), which would be a large investment project with a small return on Euroherc. The choice of strategy turned out to be good because Euroherc osiguranje is growing in 2020.
