The paper was triggered by the fact that past cross-border co-operation projects lacked strategic focus on long-term key development priorities (i.e. key common and complementary competencies) of the co-operation area. We start our analysis by presenting the socio-economic development in the regions concerned and complement the analysis with the description of global challenges, Europe 2020 targets as well as key impacting policies and key (recent) trends at national and regional level.

Biskupa Čule bb 88 000 Mostar On line: Zoom platform WP 2, activities set by 2.1: Improved competences of use of ICT in agriculture Theme: 2nd training with attention on mobile applications, robotics and drones in agriculture Trainee: participants from partner's institutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. List of participants is added. Additional trainee followed training on Zoom. MEETING MINUTES Training with aim of improving competences on use of ICT in agriculture was scheduled by project application to be held in Podgorica Montenegro and organized by University of Donja Gorica in summer of 2020. Due to the special measures introduced since COVID 19 virus pandemic we were forced to change plans. Since majority of partners are from Bosnia and Herzegovina it was decided to relocate training in Mostar with presenters from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia and Netherlands. Training was held in October 6th and 7th and also streamed on ZOOM platforms. On this way it was possible to participate even if person could not attend training in person. In a line with that some of the presentations were done in person and other were presented from distance by Zoom platform. The workshop was intended primarily for teaching staff and students in master and doctoral studies of higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, but also for other interested individuals, primarily participants in the VIRAL project and representatives of the agribusiness sector. Workshop agenda is added to the report.

    Agricultura 17: No 1-2: 1-8(2020) https://doi.org/10.18690/agricultura.17.1-2.1-8(2020) Sensory Evaluation of Dry Persimmons of the Tipo (Diospyros kaki L. f.) Variety Andrej Vogrin*, Petra Marko, Tatjana Unuk University of Maribor, Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Pivola 10, 2311 Hoče, Slovenia ABSTRACT The study carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences of the University of Maribor aimed to evaluate the attractiveness of dried persimmon fruit depending on the method of preparing the fruit for drying. The methods varied in terms of the ripeness of the fruit, the thickness and shape of the slices, the presence of seeds (in fertilised fruits) and the presence of peel. Sensory evaluation was performed by students and staff, using a hedonic scale, where evaluators evaluated the appearance (shape and colour) and taste (sugar-acid ratio, texture, tartness, presence of fruit peel, and general impression) of the fruit. Dried unfertilized persimmons, with the presence of peel, cut into 3 mm thick slices, were given the highest score for overall attractiveness. In terms of taste, unfertilised, peeled persimmon slices scored the highest. Considering all parameters, the results showed that unfertilised persimmons were more suitable for drying and that the presence of the peel was not a disturbing factor for consumers. Key words: Persimmon, fruit drying, hedonic sensory evaluation INTRODUCTION The objective of the study performed at the Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences of the University of Maribor Persimmon is a fruit that grows in subtropical and was to determine how the method of preparation of fresh moderately warm climate zones.

  • Slovenia Country Profile
    SLOVENIA COUNTRY PROFILE UNITED NATIONS INTRODUCTION - 2002 COUNTRY PROFILES SERIES Agenda 21, adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, underscored the important role that States play in the implementation of the Agenda at the national level. It recommended that States consider preparing national reports and communicating the information therein to the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) including, activities they undertake to implement Agenda 21, the obstacles and challenges they confront, and other environment and development issues they find relevant. As a result, in 1993 governments began preparing national reports for submission to the CSD. After two years of following this practice, the CSD decided that a summarized version of national reports submitted thus far would be useful. Subsequently, the CSD Secretariat published the first Country Profiles series in 1997 on the occasion of the five-year review of the Earth Summit (Rio + 5). The series summarized, on a country-by-country basis, all the national reports submitted between 1994 and 1996. Each Profile covered the status of all Agenda 21 chapters. The purpose of Country Profiles is to: · Help countries monitor their own progress; · Share experiences and information with others; and · Serve as institutional memory to track and record national actions undertaken to implement Agenda 21. A second series of Country Profiles is being published on the occasion of the World Summit on Sustainable Development being held in Johannesburg from August 26 to September 4, 2002. Each profile covers all 40 chapters of Agenda 21, as well as those issues that have been separately addressed by the CSD since 1997, including trade, energy, transport, sustainable tourism and in dustry.

  • Extracting the Resistive Current Component from a Surge Arrester's
    sensors Article Extracting the Resistive Current Component from a Surge Arrester’s Leakage Current without Voltage Reference Vid Vonˇcina 1,*, Jože Pihler 2 and Miro Milanoviˇc 2 1 Izoelektro d. o. o., 2341 Limbuš, Slovenia 2 Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia; [email protected] (J.P.); [email protected] (M.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This article presents the development of the theoretical background and the design of an electronic device for monitoring the condition of a gapless Metal Oxide Surge Arrester (MOSA). The device is intended to be used online. Because of the inaccessibility and possible remote location of most surge arresters, it is equipped with a communication system, allowing for the device to convey the measurement of the surge arrester characteristics under any conditions. It is possible to determine the condition of the MOSA by gathering measurements of the surge arrester’s resistive component of leakage current. The leakage current information is sent via data transfer unit to a server and, after interpretation, will be forwarded to the authorised personnel through the surge arrester control centre. Keywords: IoT; leakage current; Metal Oxide Surge Arrester; remote monitoring; resistive component of leakage current Citation: Vonˇcina,V.; Pihler, J.; 1. Introduction Milanoviˇc,M. Extracting the Resistive Current Component from a Surge Crucial components in transmission and distribution networks are protected against Arrester’s Leakage Current without overvoltage by MOSA (Metal Oxide Surge Arresters). For this reason, it is always of Voltage Reference. Sensors 2021, 21, high importance to continuously monitor their condition.
