This paper describes the concepts of training and career development for employees, level of knowledge of workers, the profit that some companies had from continuous training, and the way in which an organizational psychologist, with the support of management, assesses the need of employees for a particular type of training, according to the method, place and way of work performance. According to the researches, there is a positive correlation between the competencies of each individual employee and the long term growth of productivity of organizations. Learning and development of employees can be a powerful recruitment and retention tool, because investment in employees development demonstrates that the organization values its people, improves their career, makes them more successful at work, and also makes the organization more profitable. The legal norms regulate the professional development of employees, as well as the obligations of the employer who deal with this issue. According to article 49 of the Labor Law, the employer is obliged to provide the employee with education and training, if it is required by the needs of the work process and the introduction of a new way of work organization. The methodology is based on desk research and case study.

In the present work, the aeroelastic stability of tapered composite plates is investigated. Existing flutter models, based on the typical section approach, are reviewed for quasi-steady and unsteady low Mach number axial flows and modified for the thin composite tapered plates. The numerical approach, based on panel vortex methods for flutter analysis, is presented, and results are compared to typical section flutter methods for the tapered composite fins. Experimental work is performed in the subsonic wind tunnel at flow speeds of 20 - 30 m/s range. Good agreement between experimental, analytical, and numerical results is obtained, and it was concluded that the presented methodology could be used for estimating the flutter boundary velocities for the composite thin flat plates.

Cilj studije je da primenom fokus grupe identifikujemo šta zapravo predstavlja kvalitet života za beskućnike i ljude koje imaju istoriju beskućničkog načina života, kao i koji su aspekti života njima najvažniji. Za analizu odgovora ispitanika korišćena je analiza sadržaja. Uzorak čini ukupno 43 ispitanika koji su razvrstani u šest fokus grupa, uzrasta od 25 do 65 godina. Ustanovljeni su sledeći aspekti kvaliteta života: zdravlje i briga o zdravlju, uslovi života, finansijska situacija, mogućnost zaposlenja, društveni odnosi, rekreativne aktivnosti i hobi, psihičko blagostanje. Kroz ove teme je razmatrana mogućnost izbora, stabilnost i sigurnost, ravnopravnost sa drugim članovima društva s obzirom na ostvarenost ljudskih prava. Ispitivani aspekti kvaliteta života reflektuju specifičan kontekst i životna iskustva osoba koje žive na ulici i s obzirom na to, neophodno je da se uloži napor u formiranje ili adaptaciju postojećih instrumenta koji će meriti efekte socijalne i zdravstvene politike na kvalitet života beskućnika. Postojeći instrumenti imaju ograničenja i ne uključuju specifične aspekte života beskućnika koji se u velikoj meri razlikuju u odnosu na život opšte populacije, tako da slabo detektuju promene. Na ovaj način, nakon adekvatnih istraživanja koja mere uspeh mera socijalne zaštite koje imaju za cilj dobrobit beskućnika, znaćemo rezultate primenjenih mera. Takođe, treba sprovesti promenu zdravstvene i socijalne politike, odnosno trijažu beskućnika i pre svega ponuditi pomoć i podršku onima koji će odgovoriti aktivnim angažovanjem sa ciljem da sebi pomognu i žive stabilan i sređen život.

The problem of this research is to examine the relationship between dominant time perspectives, sociodemographic variables and life satisfaction.The aim of this research is to examine the possibility of successfully predicting life satisfaction by six dimensions of time orientation (positive past, negative past, hedonistic present, fatalistic present, positive future, negative future), gender, age and socioeconomic status. The sample included 136 respondents aged 18 to 60 years. The dimensions of the time perspective were operationalised by short version of Zimbardo's 18-item questionnaire. The construct of life satisfaction is operationalised by a scale whose authors are Diener et al. (1985). The assumed model, which includes six dimensions of time perspective, gender, age, and socioeconomic status, can explain 36% of the variance in life satisfaction. According to the results of the research, socioeconomic status, negative orientation towards the past, gender, fatalistic orientation towards the present and negative orientation towards future significantly contribute to the explanation of the variance of life satisfaction. Negative aspects of time orientation are (according to the research results) better predictors of life satisfaction than positive ones, because they include a depressive position, enslavement to failures and frustration, endless recycling of a bad past, feeling like a passive actor unable to change anything, belief that games are pre-set and that only negative outcomes are possible, which leads to strengthening of maladaptive patterns of thought and behavior, lack of will, withdrawal from life struggles. The outcome is a failure and dissatisfaction with life, which intensifies depressive rumors and leads to an even more negative view of oneself, one's own experience and possible chances in the future.
