As traditional museums migrate to the virtual world, they offer wider access to the exhibit collections but often fail to present content of those collections in more engaging way. Game-based learning is one of the solutions to mitigate this inevitable transition and support active learning in the process. It is increasingly gaining interest from the cultural heritage scientific community for the purpose of promoting cultural heritage, raising awareness of its importance and motivating users to visit cultural institutions such as museums more often. There are numerous examples of serious games that are based on or contain heritage content. Tangible cultural heritage is more represented in the virtual worlds and mainly based on applications of 3D technology. Recently, intangible cultural heritage is gaining more visibility within cultural heritage scope as a domain in which game-based learning could assist in its preservation. This paper attempts to address pros and cons of game-based learning in general and reflect on the choices of using serious games in the museum environment.

Triethanolamine was applied as an efficient ?green? cosolvent for biodiesel production by CaO-catalyzed ethanolysis of sunflower oil. The reaction was conducted in a batch stirred reactor and optimized with respect to the reaction temperature (61.6-78.4?C), the ethanol-to-oil molar ratio (7:1-17:1) and the cosolvent loading (3-36 % of the oil weight) by using a rotatable central composite design (RCCD) combined with the response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal reaction conditions were found to be: the ethanol-to-oil molar ratio of 9:1, the reaction temperature of 75?C and the cosolvent loading of 30 % to oil weight, which resulted in the predicted and actual fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) contents of 98.8 % and 97.9?1.3 %, respectively, achieved within only 20 min of the reaction. Also, high FAEE contents were obtained with expired sunflower oil, hempseed oil and waste lard. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was used to understand the changes in the CaO phase. The CaO catalyst can be used without any treatment in two consecutive cycles. Due to the calcium leaching into the product, an additional purification stage must be included in the overall process.

UDK 3221:141]:28 341.322.5(497.6 Visegrad)”1992/1995” Ideologija, politika i praksa stvaranja etnicki ciste srpske države, tzv. “Velike Srbije“, nalazila se u fokusu interesiranja velikosrpske ideologije, jos od vremena s kraja XVIII stoljeca. Ta i takva ideologija je figurirala s idejom stvaranja etnicki cistih teritorija na kojima bi iskljucivo i samo živjeli Srbi, a koja je podrazumijevala i teritoriju Bosne i Hercegovine. Za druge i drugacije, pa cak niti za nacionalne manjine, u tim zamislima nema mjesta. Takav projekt je bilo jedino moguce ostvariti putem nasilja, tj. kroz vrsenje strasnih i užasnih zlocina nad nesrbima, prije svega nad Bosnjacima u Bosni i Hercegovini, ukljucujuci i zlocin genocida. Pocev jos od Prvog svjetskog rata, zatim Drugog svjetskog rata, te u vremenu posljednje agresije na Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu u periodu 1992–1995. godine, evidentna je otvorena i neskrivena namjera stvaranja tzv. “Velike Srbije“. Ona je obilježena, prije svega, kontinuiranim vrsenjem brojnih oblika zlocina protiv covjecnosti i međunarodnog prava nad Bosnjacima, ukljucujuci i zlocin genocida. Posebno je to bilo izraženo na podrucju Istocne Bosne, ukljucujuci i grad Visegrad. Prezentirana studija slucaja na primjeru sela Barimo, kao istraživane mikrolokacije, jasan je pokazatelj kontinuiteta zlocina genocida nad Bosnjacima, ali i namjere zlocinaca o stvaranju etnicki cistih teritorija na podrucju Visegrada. Radi se, dakle, o kontinuitetu namjere i nastojanja velikosrpskih ideologa o uklanjanju svih Bosnjaka s podrucja Istocne Bosne i grada Visegrada, ukljucujuci i selo Barimo. Zakljucak je da je selo Barimo jasan pokazatelj kontinuiteta genocidnih namjera na podrucju Visegrada, ali i borbe Bosnjaka da, poslije svakog stradanja, nastoje opstati na tim prostorima, na kojima su vjekovima živjeli. Summary Ideology, politics and practice of creating ethnically clean Serbian state, so called “Great Serbia”, was in the focus of the interest of the Great Serbia ideology since the end of the 18 th century. That and such ideologies coexisted with the idea of creating ethnically clean territories inhabited by exclusively Serbian populace and it included the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is no place for the other and the different, not even as ethnic minorities, in these ideas. Such project was only possible to realise by using violence, by committing terrible and horrific crimes including genocide over non-Serbs, primarily over Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Starting with the First World War, in the Second World War and finally during the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995, intention to create “Great Serbia” was revealed and exposed evidently. It was marked by continuous crimes against humanity, violation of international law and genocide committed over Boisniak population. It was primarily evident in the region of eastern Bosnia including the city of Visegrad. The present case study plainly shows, through example of the village of Barimo which was used as research micro-location, the continuity of the crime of genocide over Bosniaks as well as intentions of perpetrators of these crimes to create an ethnically clean territory in the region of Visegrad including the nearby village Barimo. We conclude here that the crimes committed in the village of Barimo is a clear indicator of continuity of genocidal intentions behind the crimes in this region but also of the persistent will of Bosniaks to remain living in these territories where they have lived for centuries.

Der Aufsatz befasst sich mit der Perzeption des Raumes in deutschsprachigen Reiseberichten über Montenegro aus der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. In sechs Reiseberichten, die in der Zeit, als Njegoš regierte (1830–1851), entstanden sind, wurden maßgebliche Aspekte der Darstellung des Raumes untersucht und identifiziert, die das Bild Montenegros als exotisches Land transportieren, unabhängig davon, ob der Exotismus als Form der Fokussierung auf das Fremde positiv oder negativ konnotiert ist. Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Exotismus der Darstellung des Raumes Montenegros in den interpretierten und analysierten Texten vor allem auf der Diskrepanz zwischen dem Bestreben einer objektiven Darstellung und der subjektiven Wahrnehmung des Erzählers basiert. Die beschriebenen geographischen Strukturen werden anhand unterschiedlicher literarischer Mittel als exotische, andere, merkwürdige, bedrohliche oder arkadische Wildnis semantisiert, womit Montenegro bis tief ins 20. Jahrhundert assoziiert wurde.

This article was elaborated based on a study for the optimization of routes between 19 establishments and two entrances in the city of Jaboticabal, in the interior of São Paulo. Your purpose was to explored the possible routes for improvement to identify the pathway. To perform this work we used bibliographic research in books and articles on the Internet and the solution of the proposed problem was done through Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and its tool Solver using the Evolutionary method. With the analysis of the results it was possible to observe which the best way to be chosen. As companies nowadays need fast logistics distribution, it is concluded that the use of computation tools such Excel Solver is essential for information optimization and decision making aid, thus generating lower costs for companies
