Original scientific paper In the paper an experimental research has been carried out regarding the possibility for the use of incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) in the production of cement mortars with partial cement replacement. Different mixtures of cement mortar have been investigated, with comparison of its basic characteristics with and without certain amounts of added ISSA that was incinerated at the temperature of 800 °C. Additionally, the influence of the additives (metakaolin and silicon dust) was also investigated with the purpose to improve the physical characteristics of mortars. Altogether 177 specimens of cement mortar were investigated, with 9 different mixtures. In this research the sewage sludge from the Zagreb wastewater treatment plant was used. Results have shown satisfying physical and mechanical characteristics of mortars with added ISSA (workability, setting time, flexural and compressive strength) which brings to conclusion that use of ISSA in production of cement mortars seems possible and justified.

Instruments for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) are one of the most important instruments fo EU development and regional policy avaliable to the candidate countries for EU accession. Enlargement of EU can cause, what already can be seen, considerable problems. Especially when the level of economic development is lower in some new member states and candidate countries than in “ old “ EU member states. Amon these countries are also western Balkan countries which use IPA funds (IPA I and IPA II) to solve problems caused by lack of money on national, regional nad city level as well as for the citizens. The aim of this paperwork is to explain what the European Commission has done by analyzing experiences in the utilizing IPA I funds. In the paper work we try to explain the new conditions, beside indispensable Stabilisation and Association Agreement, for programming and absorbing IPA funds that should increase impacts of financial and technical support for achievement of reform goals, particulary emphasising EU 2020 Strategy for smart, suinstable and inclusive development.

Ako, prema Lyotardu, Auschwitz možemo razumjeti kao paradigmatsko ime za tragično nedovršenje moderne, onda se Džungla može razumjeti kao paradigmatsko ime za farsičnu dovršenost postmoderne. Onoga trenutka kada je načelna trauma Drugosti postala konkretan izazov drugoga, radikalno je doveden u pitanje koncept kraja povijesti kao idilična prizora sustavne učinkovitosti. Postmoderna predstava povijesne dovršenosti bez sadržaja i bez pukotina najednom gubi na uvjerljivosti - na površinu nekontrolirano izbija ili ono neistodobno (Bloch) ili ono potisnuto (Benjamin, Freud), ali u svakom slučaju ono što je već bilo prisutno. Problematičnim postaje odnos između proizvedene zbilje (ono što bi se trebalo događati) i zbilje koja se proizvodi (ono što se upravo događa). Rad je posvećen analizi ovoga problema - s obzirom na to da se on ne može riješiti ni antagoniziranjem ni ponovnim premještanjem zbiljske proizvodnje, već jedino približavanjem i razumijevanjem, odnos problematičnih zbiljskih instanci pokušat će se analizirati kao odnos potisnutih radikalnih tendencija moderne epohe i permisivnih pretenzija postmoderne epohe. Na taj se način ono što se upravo događa može razumjeti kao sukob subjekta i infrastrukture: s jedne strane stoji moderni subjekt (egzilant, terorist) koji se aktualizira tako što se ništi, a s druge postmoderna infrastruktura (zračna luka, koncertna dvorana, birokratski hodnici) koji se nište tako što se aktualiziraju.
