COVID-19 has brought significant changes to our lives and eating practices, where many of us are required to not only stay at home but also eat at home. This is particularly challenging for lone-person households as eating alone can be boring, less motivating and could lead to unhealthy behaviors such as mindless snacking or skipping of meals. To remedy such situations, we present Guardian of the Snacks, a tangible multimodal system that encourages mindful snacking by offering a playful companionship to snacking. The system is customizable to bear the shape of different animals and can be adapted to different snacking scenarios. Like a good companion, it encourages eating but moderates overeating through auditory feedback and playful nudging. In this article, we reflect on our design process and contribute ideas for the future development of technology-driven mindful snacking.

The ancient art of origami has several attributes that are desirable in the design of engineered products such as deployability, stowability, and flat sheet manufacturing. Origami-adapted design aspires to transform the characteristics of an origami paper model into a usable product while maintaining functionality. Engineers have managed to design several origami-adapted products that are innovative in their respective fields. Despite the existence of these origami-adapted products, the process of origami-adapted design is still not well understood. This research seeks to develop an understanding of the origami-adapted design process, the steps involved, and the necessary tools with the goal of promoting the future development of additional origami-adapted products.

After an introductory overview of previous achievements in the field, abroad and at home, during the 19th and 20th centuries, this paper deals with the present state of Serbian etymology (i.e. etymology of the Serbian language) among the Serbs which, for several decades now, has been closely related to the Etymological Department of the Serbian Language Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Following an explanation of elements of the etymological analysis, we offer a comparison of the methodologies applied in compiling the two dictionaries presently under development at the Department, a thesaurus-type Etimoloski recnik srpskoga jezika (ERSJ - Etymological Dictionary of the Serbian Language) and the concise Prirucni etimoloski recnik srpskoga jezika (PERSJ - Concise Etymological Dictionary of the Serbian Language). Finally, we present a preliminary projection of the future development of Serbian etymology with a suggested agenda.

This paper,first presented on 21 October 1995 at ajoint seminar ofthe Scottish Law Commission and the Faculty of Law, University of Edinburgh, on the subject of breach of contract, considers the future development of the law in this area, first by considering its history and current state in comparative terms and drawing the conclusion that it is characterised by a mixture of Civilian and Common Law elements; second, by comparing Scots law with the provisions on breach contained in recently published proposals for a harmonised law of contract (the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Contract Law prepared by the Lando Commission, and the draft “code”for the United Kingdom prepared on behalf of the English Law Commission by Harvey McGregor in the late 1960s) and in international conventions on the sale of goods. Although Scots law emerges reasonably wellfrom this exercise, there are a number of points to be taken on board in any future reform, as well as some insights into important underlying principles.
