Finer investigated the phenomenon of politics within its spatial and temporal framework, trying to look into as many forms of government as possible and to fmd uniformity in their variety. He paid particular attention to a study of institutions of government which he considered the core of politics. His investigations focused on the state. By condensing the consequences of the emergence of the state on the forms of government, Finer came up with two variables: the extent in which rulers establish a standardized central administration and the extent in which homogeneous culture, religion and laws have been achieved. The second topic which held an important place in Finer's research is military organization. He wanted to demonstrate how the survival of a state, international order, social distribution of power, governing, the degree of bureaucratization, and a regime's nature, are intertwined with the structure of the state's military institutions. His opinion was that the military organization is necessary for the establishment and preservation of political communities, regimes and governments. According to Finer, the state's key function are preparing for wars, waging wars and reconstructing the country after them, and expecting the next one. Finer's third topic is the relationship between political and religious systems of belief. He stressed their dualistic nature, with two more or less independent hierarchies which have been a source of serious tensions. Furthermore, Finer links the existing system of beliefs, social stratification, and political institutions. Where these factors are balanced, the political community achieves permanent stability.

The analysis has shown that both approaches are legitimate and useful in understanding and maintaining democracy. Of course, the interactional approaches are more complex, as well as more important and more vital for understanding democracy. The analysis has shown how political culture (democratic legitimation or political trust, support for civil freedoms, satisfaction with the functioning of democracy, etc.) often depend on the elements of the very political structure (party systems and coalition models, election patterns, patterns of democracy, positions in power structure, etc.). Political culture is autonomous in relation to political structure, but frequently its role greatly depends on the relations among political actors and the variables of the political culture itself. The analysis has also demonstrated how these investigations into the interaction (combined effects) between political culture and structure are extremely sophisticated and that in the future they are going to become the most fruitful part of political science, making possible not only a deeper understanding of the "dynamic regularities" in the functioning of democracy but also the attempts at its "innovative sustainment" and gradual development. (SOI : PM: S. 131) + The purpose of this essay is to prove the connection among political culture, political structure and democracy. All the arguments pointing to such a connection have been analysed within the framework of two fundamental approaches to the relationship between culture and structure i.e. within the framework of the classical approach to their correspondence (which claims - primarily in line with the functional theory of culture - that there is a functional concordance between culture and structure, that democracy is mirrored by the civic political culture, i.e. that "culture is a structure's way of life", that culture determines the structure) and the contemporary interactional approach (in which - primarily in line with the theory of culture "as meaning" or "social functioning" - complex relations among various cultural variables and structural variables are analysed as well as their combined effect on democracy as the consequence of these relations). The latter approach considers democracy not as a "fixed condition" but rather as a dynamic phenomenon or the end result of the combined interactional relationships between culture and structure

This work analyses the relation between democracy and political participation, the typology and model of political participation, the findings of the research of political participation in the world (S. Verba, N. H. Nie, 1972; S. H. Barnes, M. Kaase, 1 979; and others), and the research of the same phenomenon on a sample of Croatian students. This analysis has shown that today all the elements necessary for a more comprehensive theory of political participation are in place. This theory would enable a more systematic and standardized investigation of this phenomenon in the national and the international context. The article also shows how the non- conventional participation is gaining ground while the conventional is gradually levelling out. Significant are the results of the analysis of the etiology of political participation, particularly the relation between the standard SES model and the model of value orientations (left-right materialism, materialism-postrnaterialism, etc.). The analysis of the model of participation of Croatian students has shown that the model of protest behaviour/potential' has a more complex etiology than other models, such as conventional participation and voting in parliamentary elections. Thus, for the "protest potential" it is necessary to possess a developed civic competence, a critical attitude towards the government's performance, a liberal arts education, etc., while for the conventional participation it is central to have a higher level of political interest. Significant differences between the Croatian students and those from other European countries can be observed regarding the role of value orientations in explaining political participation.

Примена обновљивих извора енергије на зградама школа, фискултурних сала и предшколских установа представља студију у којој су дефинисани могући модалитети и домети примене различитих расположивих видова обновљивих извора енергије у Србији, уз ограничења која намећу бројни затечени услови, пре свега локације. У уводном делу описан је значај примене обновљивих извора у глобалним и локалним тенденцијама одрживог развоја, као и главни међународни и домаћи легислативни акти. Потом је дефинисана методологија прорачуна потребних капацитета и енергетских добитака за сваку од анализираних технологија примене обновљивих извора енергије. Анализирани су системи топлотних пумпи, могућност примене енергије биомасе, као и могућност примене соларне енергије путем термалних соларних колектора и фотонапонских система. Могућност примене дефинисане методологије у теоретском делу илустрована је кроз конкретне случајеве школских и предшколских зграда, као и зграда школских фискултурних сала, у складу са претходно дефинисаним типологијама и условима конкретних локација. ; Application of renewable energy sources in school, gym and kindergarten buildings is a study where a multidisciplinary team of experts defined possible modalities and scopes of application of different available types of renewable energy sources in Serbia, taking into account the limitations imposed by the numerous conditions, primarily locations. The introductory part describes the importance of renewable sources implementation in global and local sustainable development tendencies, same as the applicable international and domestic legislation. This is followed by the defined calculation methodology of required capacities and energy gains for each of the analysed technologies underlying the application of renewable energy sources. The analysis encompassed heat pump systems, possibility of biomass energy implementation, and the possibility for solar energy implementation via thermal solar collectors and photovoltaic systems. The possibility for implementation of the defined methodology in theoretical part is illustrated by specific cases of school and kindergarten buildings, but also school gym buildings, in line with the previously defined typologies and conditions in specific locations.
