Group of young researchers in higher education institutions in general perform demandable tasks with relatively high contribution to institutions' and societies' innovation production. In order to analyse in more details interaction among young researchers and diverse institutions in society, we...

Social free energy was recently introduced as a measure of social action obtainable from a given social system, without changes in its structure. In this article its relation with physical free energy for a toy-model of interacting agents is analysed. Values of the social and physical free...

Citations to published scientific articles are regularly collected and processed, bringing about the impact factor and a large number of other bibliometric indicators. We interpret the set of citations collected during fixed period as a characteristic statistical distribution of citations, argue...

The absolute temperature T has a recognized physical meaning in equilibrium thermodynamics. The scale realized by the closely related Lagrange coefficient "b" usually figures as an auxiliary scale. In this article, the scale spanned by "b"is a proper intensive thermal quantity for equilibrium...

E-mail mediated communication rapidly intensifies, both in quantity and quality and so does the need to understand its psycho-social context. In this article we formulated a model of psycho-social elements of the process of receiving an e-mail. The corresponding technique starts by recognising...

For an organisation with a Pareto-like distribution of the relevant resources we determine the social free energy and related social quantities using thermodynamical formalism. Macroscopic dynamics of the organisation is linked with the changes in the attributed thermodynamical quantities...

Human communication is prevalently a mediated process. Mediators are units of environment, which are attributed functions within the local value set. They are utilised in such a way as to optimise the change of human states.<br><br> In this article, a mediator-centred interpretation of the human...

The paper aims at assessing the research output of scientists working in "hard sciences" at six Croatian Univeristies (Dubrovnik, Osijek, Rijeka, Split, Zadar and Zagreb). The data obtained may serve as the starting point for further follow-up and in-depth studies of research performance at...

During the performance of a musical composition a special human environment comes into being. We aim to interpret the compositions as a specific class of human environment in order to utilise that for description of structure and dynamics of general human environment. In particular, we analysed...

Many types of human interaction are mediated processes. However, regarding the details of human description, the mediating unit structure and dynamics is not developed appropriately. The explicit concentration on mediators contributes to understanding of interplay between value sets governing...
