Polymers filled with natural-based fillers have shown growing demand/interest in recent years, including in additive manufacturing. Like most natural fillers in 3D printing, wood particles serve mainly as a filler that lowers the cost of the printing material due to their low price. However, could wood be used as a main ingredient to affect/improve the properties of 3D-printed parts? Several advantages, such as its reinforcing ability, biodegradability, availability as waste material from other industries, ability to be used in different forms or only in partial components, recycling options or even the use of its undesirable hydromorph-induced dimensional instability for 4D printing, indicate the importance of exploring its use in 3D printing. A review of publications on 3D printing with wood biomass and technologies involving the use of wood particles and components was conducted to identify the possibilities of using wood in additive technologies and their potential.

Hitremu razvoju interneta in pametnega mobilnega telefona je sledilo tudi povečanje moči in količine prenosa podatkov, kar nam je omogočilo neomejeno sporazumevanje in dostopanje do vseh želenih informacij. V hipu lahko posnamemo fotografije, jih delimo s prijatelji, poslušamo glasbo ali plačujemo račune. Pametni mobilni telefon v povezavi z internetom je postal naš stalni spremljevalec in nepogrešljiv sestavni del našega življenja. Otroci že zelo zgodaj dobijo pametne mobilne telefone, s tem pa se jim odpre virtualni svet, ki je poln različnih možnosti, priložnosti in tudi tveganj. Koliko poznajo omenjen nov svet, kako dostopajo do njega, v kakšni meri in za kakšen namen ga uporabljajo in kakšno vlogo pri tem igrajo starši, so le nekatera vprašanja, na katera sem iskal odgovore v magistrskem delu. V štirih skupinskih diskusijah so osnovnošolski otroci z mano delili njihova mnenja, razmišljanja, spoznanja in izkušnje glede uporabe interneta in pametnih mobilnih telefonov ter mi tako omogočili vpogled v njihov vsakdan. With the rapid development of the Internet and the smartphone, followed by the power and also the amount of data transfer, we have not only the possibility of unlimited communication, but we can also access all the information we need at any time, take photos, share them with friends, listen to music or pay the bills. A smartphone in association with the Internet has become our constant companion and for our normal functioning, an indispensable part of our life. Children get smartphones at an early age and in doing so, opening up a new virtual world of different options, opportunities and risks. How well do they know the new world, how they access it, to what extent and for what purpose it is used and what role do the parents play in it are just some of the questions to which I tried to find the answers. In four group discussions, primary school children shared with me their opinions, reflections, insights and experiences regarding the use of the Internet and smartphones, and thus gave me an insight into their daily lives.

This paper analyses possible challenges and opportunities that Mexican female entrepreneurs face during the establishment of new enterprises. Based on in-depth interviews with female entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship experts, authors researched opportunities in the form of governmental and non-governmental institutional support, growing entrepreneurship, social awareness and women empowerment. However, lack of credibility, fear of vulnerability to criticism and social pressure are some challenges associated with gender egalitarianism. In such, the authors proved that Mexican culture impacts women in some ways more than the others. Institutional collectivism was the cultural dimension with higher positive impact on women, followed by gender egalitarianism with a neutral to positive impact and the power distance with a neutral influence on women. V članku so analizirani mogoči izzivi in priložnosti, s katerimi se srečujejo mehiške podjetnice pri ustanavljanju novih podjetij. Avtorji so na podlagi poglobljenih intervjujev s podjetnicami in strokovnjaki za podjetništvo opozorili na priložnosti v obliki vladne in nevladne institucionalne podpore, vse večje vloge družbene ozaveščenosti o podjetništvu in krepitve vloge žensk. Vendar pa še vedno obstajajo nekateri izzivi, ki so povezani s pomanjkanjem verodostojnosti, strahom pred ranljivostjo do kritike in socialnim pritiskom, ki je povezan z enakostjo spolov. Avtorji so dokazali, da mehiška kultura v nekaterih elementih na ženske bolj vpliva kot v drugih. Institucionalni kolektivizem ima kot kulturna razsežnost večji pozitivni učinek na ženske, enakopravnost med spoloma ima nevtralni do pozitivni učinek, medtem ko ima razdalja moči nevtralen vpliv na ženske.

Planiranje je del našega vsakdana. Kot je planiranje prisotno v vsakdanjem življenju pri preprostih opravilih, tako je prisotno pri kompleksnejših odločitvah v podjetjih. S planiranjem se v podjetju srečujemo vse od njegovega nastajanja – ustanovitve, razvoja in rasti, delovanja in obnašanja, samega poslovanja, sanacije in ne nazadnje tudi prenehanja podjetja. Z dobrim planiranjem v času obstoja in razvoja, ter delovanja in obnašanja se znatno podaljša življenjska doba podjetja in se prepreči sanacija. V diplomskem delu smo preučevali trgovsko podjetje in presojali planiranje delovanja in obnašanja v podjetju. Trgovsko podjetje je specializirana trgovina na debelo na področju pekarstva, slaščičarstva in gostinstva. Podjetje spada po Zakonu o gospodarskih družbah med majhne družbe. V začetnem delu diplomskega dela smo na splošno opredelili podjetniško planiranje, delovanje in obnašanja v podjetju. V nadaljevanju diplomskega dela smo predstavili trgovsko podjetje, njegovo vizijo in poslanstvo ter temeljne cilje. V obravnavanem podjetju smo ugotavljali in preučevali planiranje, področja planiranja in planiranje angažiranja. Ugotovili smo prednosti in slabosti ter priložnosti in nevarnosti v podjetju in zunaj njega. Menimo, da je največja prednost kakovost prodajnega blaga in dobro poznavanje prodajnih trgov. Največjo slabost pa smo zaznali v veliki koncentraciji domače in tuje konkurence. Na podlagi analiziranja trgovskega podjetja smo opozorili na nekaj področji, v katerih planiranje ni najbolj optimalno. S tem smo podjetju pripomogli k še boljšemu planiranju delovanja in obnašanja ter posledično k boljšemu poslovnemu rezultatu. Planning is a part of a daily life. The same way it is present in a daily life, it is also present in more complex decisions in a company. We apply planning in the company at its formation – establishment, development and growth, operation and behaviour, remediation and even at the dissolution of the company. The lifespan of the company significantly extends with good planning during the business’s existence and development, operation and behaviour, and also prevents the need for the remediation of the company. In this thesis, I studied the trading company and its planning of the operation and behaviour of the company. The trading company is a wholesaler specialized in the bakery, confectionery and catering industry. This company is classified as a small business, according to the Companies Act. In the first part of the thesis, I roughly describe company’s planning and operation, and behaviour in it. In the second part of the thesis, I present the trading company, its vision, mission and primary goals. In the case company, I observed and studied the planning, areas and engagement of planning. I determined advantages and disadvantages and also opportunities, and internal and external threats. The biggest advantage of this company is the quality of the goods they sell and good knowledge of the markets. The biggest threat I was able to determine, was the high concentration of domestic and foreign competitors. Based on the analysis of the trading company, I was able to point out the areas, where planning was not optimised. With this I helped the company to a better planning and behaviour, and consequently to the better business result.
