Rad je rezultat istraživanja na projektu Pravnog fakulteta Univerziteta u Kragujevcu: „Usklađivanje pravnog sistema Srbije sa standardima Evropske unije”, koji se finansira iz sredstava Fakulteta. ; This scientific work analyzes the concept of human rights under the challenges of the green transition in Europe. The right to a healthy environment receives its full affirmation through adoption European Green Deal. In order to alleviate the consequences of the imbalance and mismatch between the development of society and the preservation of nature, the European Union is intensifying normative activity in the field of environmental protection. The Republic of Serbia as a candidate for membership in The European Union is obliged to make its policy and legal the system adapts to such trends. This question becomes especially important after our country's accession to the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. New social conditions created under the influence of green ideas, offer new directions for the development of the corpus of human and minority rights. ; Published

Danas industrijska postrojenja predstavljaju značajne potrošače električne energije. Iako se najveći deo električne energije koristi za obavljanje industrijskih procesa, značajan deo troškova električne energije vezan je i za sisteme rasvete industrijskog osvetljenja. Pažljivim izborom odgovarajućih sijalica i prateće opreme koja ide uz njih, i uz dodatne mere predložene u ovom radu, potrošnja električne energije koja se koristi za osvetljenje se može smanjiti za 40% - 65%. U ovom radu su prikazani načini uštede energije, programi za održavanje, kontrolu i inspekciju sistema rasvete u sistemima rasvete industrijskog osvetljenja i analizirana je efikasnost sistema osvetljenja fabrike „Zastava automobili“. ; Published

Great challenges are ahead of researchers when they plan to sustainably meet the needs of people, more than 10 billion, using the scarce resources of food, water and energy. The ability to meet the needs at the local level is critical because it is expected a significant population growth in less developed areas of the world. Compliance with the provisions of the scientific ecology and the introduction of cutting-edge achievements in nanotechnology opens up a number of changes in agricultural production. Yields can be doubled while reducing the usage of pesticides and GMOs. Political describe the environmental objectives given unwarranted importance of various types of repeatable source of energy from the sun, wind and geothermal over to bio raw materials. Most queries originating from the time periodicity and the local availability of such sources of energy. Today's electrical solar panels have a theoretical efficiency of 33%, with the actual efficiency about 15%. According to scientific ecology they prevent reflection of solar radiation and heat the environment and act completely anti-ecological. Combining energy sources is a necessity for the future, although it is more expensive. Ecological is quite normal that all complex systems in addition to the advantages of having a number of shortcomings. ; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329530344_INTRODUCTION_OF_SCIENTIFIC_ECOLOGY_TO_ALL_AREAS_OF_AGRICULTURAL_MECHANIZATION_UVODENJE_NAUCNE_EKOLOGIJE_U_SVE_OBLASTI_POLJOPRIVREDNE_MEHANIZACIJE ; Published

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to the removal of pollutants from wastewater following the norms and regulations on the quality of the wastewater and therefore are an indispensable part of wastewater treatment and environmental protection. Each stage of wastewater treatment consumes a significant amount of energy. The need to meet rapid population growth and stricter conditions in terms of effluent quality requirements has led to an increase in energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants. Energy consumption is a bottleneck in wastewater treatment plants and, as the number of these plantsin the world increases, the issues of reducing energy consumption and energy efficiency are beginning to attract attention. It also contributes to the cost increase in wastewater treatment plants. Analysis and prediction of energy consumption are key factors for energy savings. Energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants is affected by many factors. However, information on energy consumption and potential for energy recovery/production and energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plants remains very limited. This paper reviews the literature and analyzes the energy consumption in these plants and the possibility of increasing the energy efficiency of these plants through the use of renewable energy sources and energy recovery from the plant itself. ; Published

The core of the dissertation is to improve energy efficiency of small hydropower plants (SHPPs). The focus is to solve the problems of (1) decreased electricity production during low water flows and (2) inadequate functioning of multi-chamber settling basins because of an uneven flow distribution among the chambers. The latter problem has been solved by an original methodology, which is an upgrade on the traditional usage of CFD and analytical models. The methodology is among the scientific contributions that are:  a method for the iterative finding of a technical solution by the use of a CFD and an ancillary analytical model, which is a guide for a complex and slow CFD model towards an optimal geometry;  a method for the determination of local pressure drops (minor losses) for complex geometrical shapes with multi-dimensional flow patterns using: CFD simulations, regression analysis, and indirect validation;  the application of modern software for the design, optimization, modeling, and modernization of SHHPs.  a novel solution for simultaneous equalization of flows among the chambers of a multi-chamber settling basin and the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy. These results were implemented on a case study, which includes two cascade SHPPs with a common side water intake and nominal installed capacities of 1.220 MW and 1.327 MW. The solving of both problems resulted in technical solutions for:  the determination of an optimal configuration under existing conditions (gross head, turbine types, pipeline diameters) by the use of new turbine(s) and independent or coupled operation of two run-of-the-river SHPPs;  the equalization of flows among the chambers of a multi-chamber settling basin and the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy by the use of: (a) pillars with vanes in a common inlet zone and (b) sluice gates with tranquilizing racks. The solution of the (1) problem increased the electricity production by 4.8% and the solution of the (2) problem reduced the total loss by 8%. The results are ...

The art of Francis Bacon is positioned as a London school of figurative painiting of the second half of the twentieth century, and as such it is the most direct reflection of the post-war traumas of the Nazi regime that befall Europe and the world. It was exactly at the time, at the intersection of social, economic, scientific and technological and cultural practices, that a Western neoliberal order was formed. It is a sample or archeological/historical layer also studied by post-structuralists Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari. This text is an attempt of explication of certain links in the opinion that connect the painting of Francis Bacon and the theory of post-structuralism, which are focused on the issues of development of biopower within certain historical sites. Namely, post-structuralists realise that archeological layers are volatile historical categories, and each of them is an independent social and cultural creation. Bacon authentically connects these historical layers through his visual language, referring to older painters such as Velasquez, Rembrandt, Ingres or Van Gogh. Thus Bacon re-examines the status of the subject (conceptualises life by the powers of death using human body) and its liberties both in liberal and in neoliberal societies. ; Published

Sistem gazdovanja energijom podrazumeva skup dobro planiranih akcija usmerenih ka smanjenju računa za energiju i povećanju produktivnosti preduzeća, čime se ostvaruju pozitivni efekti i u proizvodnji, funkcionisanju, održavanju i zaštiti životne sredine. Gazdovanje energijom je proces neprekidnog poboljšanja i efikasniji je ako se njegovi principi i procedure periodično proveravaju. Iskustvo govori, da kada se primeni strukturni pristup gazdovanju energijom, postoji jasan sled događaja koji donosi najbolje rezultate. U radu je prikazana metodologija razvoja i uvo|enja sistema gazdovanja energijom, primenjena na konkretno preduzeće („Zastava automobili“). Kritički je sagledano stanje i data je ocena postojećeg sistema gazdovanja energijom u preduzeću (matrica energije), definisana je nova organizaciona šema sistema gazdovanja energijom (umesto energetskog menadžera i njegovog pratećeg tima u hijerarhijskoj lestvici preduzeća) i politika gazdovanja energijom. ; Published

Human activities, in particular transport, are partially responsible for the problems associated with the greenhouse effect, and therefore global warming. The European Union is increasingly dependent on imported fossil fuel. From the second side, oil products come from politically unstable regions, oil prices are rising, and resources are limited. This complex situation leads to significant ecological and economical risks for society. The European Commission is seeking to solve these issues through a series of initiatives, including many that focus on the transport, which is almost fully dependent on oil. In this context, it has launched every time a call for projects that focus on biofuels. Our research inside of the paper is redirected on the training to take action with similar projects. We are analyzed here the possibilities for production of biogas from landfill and agricultural crops. By upgrading biogas to bio-methane we produce the high-quality fuel for mobility systems causing lower exhaust emission specifically particulate matter, sulfur compounds, non-methane hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide, as well as smog and noise pollution in the atmosphere. ; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324043234_APPLICATION_OF_BIOMETHANE_IN_MOTOR_VEHICLES_PRIMENA_BIOMETANA_U_MOTORNIM_VOZILIMA#fullTextFileContent ; Published
