The study presents information about the intelligent house system along with the justification of the thesis that this technology can be used in single-family houses. The general characteristics of the system are given, which include the history of the creation and the essence of operation. Attention has been paid to lower energy consumption due to the use of technology, which makes it easier for buildings to meet the requirements of the European Parliament Directive 2010. The article describes the most important sub-functions, such as lighting, heating or fire-protection subsystem. Based on the functional layout of a single-family home, the analysis of the most important types of the system was carried out. The study states that smart home systems can be used not only at the construction stage, but also in existing buildings, without the need for interference in the walls. Keywords: construction, modern technologies used in construction, smart home system.

This paper deals with the architecture of the most prominent architect in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian time, Josip Vancaš, and two of his most appreciated designs developed for Banja Luka: Landesbank branch office and villa Husedžinović. They both belong to what Vancaš promoted to be "Bosnian style" in architecture, while the latter one is widely accepted as one of his best single-family housing designs. The paper foremost shows Vancaš's biography and a short overview of his professional development and then focuses on the discussion of his contribution to the so-called Bosnian style in architecture, and its reflections to mentioned designs in Banja Luka, originally contributing to this still active question in the history of architecture.The paper gives data on the original status of the buildings, as well as their development throughout history, with reflections to contemporary time. The concluding discussion reviews Vancaš's contribution to architecture in the period of 1878-1918, as well as the promotion of new thoughts outside the usual work of a typical architect.

In the last decade he has caused himself an increase of the education of the interior ambient conditions of the buildings caused by the appearing of numerous scientific reports that they relate them to serious diseases. Between these, the education of concentration of radon branded like carcinogen wilfully publicise one. The present article parses the concentrations of this gas that have taken place in a single-family housing and as the ventilation system in work has influence upon her. For it, two samples in three outbuildings of the house have been taken, (car park, dining room and bedroom). The first unaccomplished sample the ventilation of the spaces and the second with ventilation. The obtained peak concentrations when the ventilation system does not find itself in operation evidence values from among 391 and 94 Bq/ m3 coming right across over the doorsteps established in the standard 2013/59 EURATOM. On the contrary, the peak concentrations of radon decrease to values from among 71 and 29 Bq/ m3 interveningventilation. In this sense, it is confirmed that the ventilation system in work is determining to decrease the concentration of the gas in the analysed sojourns getting an average efficacy from the 62 %.

The use and application of modern technologies in designing and building well-lit constructions has a variety of definitions and interpretations. Indeed, architects contend that such uses of technology depend on conditions, background and the presumptions of the design and the location. The use of technology to design and build constructions with respect to their conditions and situations is considered to be a novel and particular concept in modern architecture. Architecture, due to its contact with human life plays an important role in weakening of culture in identity in the face of globalization. However, the modernity in architecture, especially in Islamic Architecture, has misled the architect with regards to the fundamental characteristics of Islamic Architecture, which is supposed to show modesty, sustainability and more humanity in their design. Modernity has made Islamic architecture more arrogant and lost into the idea of capitalism. This study is to investigate the positive and negative impacts of modern technologies on Islamic Architecture, including Malaysia and Middle East countries.  The objectives are to identify the issues on how modern technologies are affecting Islamic Architecture and to understand the real the meaning of Islam in modern Architecture. Extensive reviews were carried out to gather and analyze information with regards to this matter. After a qualitative analysis of the gathered information, suggestions can be made on how to help improve the current situation. The findings show that modern technology help increase accessibility and utilization of important places in Islam, however it is also destroying the historical value of those places which played an important role in the spreading of Islam.

In today’s techno-intensive world, technology is an integral part of education. Over the last few decades, technology has been playing an increasingly vital role in the field of education, which has led to a profound improvement in the teaching and learning processes. The present learning environment demands that the teacher be skilled in use of technology to educate his pupils in an effective and efficient manner. Additionally, the school curriculum has to be in sync with the modern technology. In others words the curriculum has to so designed that it is easy to adapt and integrate it with the modern technologies of teaching and learning processes. This scenario requires that the teachers are trained and adept at handling modern techno-intensive teaching aids so that both teaching and learning become a joy for the teacher as well as the pupils.

Gloss to the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland judgment of February 14, 2019 – case file no. II OSK 626/17 The author analyzes crucial problems identified by the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland in the judgment of February 14, 2019 – case file no. II OSK 626/17 concerning the application in practice of the principle of good neighborhood, referred to in Article 61(1)(1) of the Act on Spatial Planning and Development. It should be noted that although the existing buildings determine the manner in which the conditions of a new investment are specified (due to the necessity of existence of “at least one neighboring plot”), various functions may co-exist within the framework of the existing and future developments, provided that they can be mutually reconciled. The purpose of the gloss is to demonstrate the appropriateness of the decision of the Court, which concluded that the existing housing development will have a negative impact on the residents of the new single-family housing estate due to the conflicting functions of the sites. In this respect, the reviewed judgment constitutes a certain attempt to prevent the so-called single-unit urbanism.

The first chapter of Hieroglyphic Modernisms exposes the complex history of Western misconceptions of Egyptian writing from antiquity to the present. Hieroglyphs bridge the gap between modern technologies and the ancient past, looking forward to the rise of new media and backward to the dispersal of languages in the mythical moment of the Tower of Babel. The contradictory ways in which hieroglyphs were interpreted in the West come to shape the differing ways that modernist writers and filmmakers understood the relationship between writing, film, and other new media. On the one hand, poets like Ezra Pound and film theorists like Vachel Lindsay and Sergei Eisenstein use the visual languages of China and of Egypt as a more primal or direct alternative to written words. But Freud, Proust, and the later Eisenstein conversely emphasize the phonetic qualities of Egyptian writing, its similarity to alphabetical scripts. The chapter concludes by arguing that even avant-garde invocations of hieroglyphics depend on narrative form through an examination of Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Zorns Lemma.

Modern technologies, which provide fast and accurate acquisition of high-resolution spatial data, have found widespread application in the monitoring of coastal processes. This paper reports the results of four years’ monitoring of a huge deflation/blowout/wind-scour basin dynamics at the Vistula Spit (southeast coast of the Baltic Sea). Information about the volume and size dynamics together with deflation/accumulation schemes and 3D elevation maps is presented. Basing on the obtained results, forecast of the deflation basin dynamics for 2016 was proposed. This paper implements the Terrestrial Laserscanning (TLS) method to the coastal processes investigation and demonstrates its high potential in this field.
