Roman Bucheli - Der italienische Semiotiker Umberto Eco hatte Ende der achtziger Jahre in seinem Buch «Lector in fabula» den keineswegs naheliegenden Unterschied gemacht zwischen dem Lesen und dem Benutzen eines Textes. Wer lese, so Ecos Argumentation in Kurzform, befrage ein Werk nach seiner Intention; wer hingegen einen Text benutze, dem gehe es um ganz eigene, textfremde Absichten: Er suche nach Beweisstücken oder Indizien für Thesen, die mit dem Werk selber im Übrigen wenig oder nichts zu tun haben. Das genaue und emphatische Lesen (man kann es auch zweckfreies Lesen nennen) dürfte in den letzten Jahren etwas aus der Mode gekommen sein. Auf dem Vormarsch dagegen befinden sich die Benutzer der Texte.
Ispod padina Kozjaka i zapadnih obronaka Mosora uz rijeku Jadro, koja se nekad zvala Salon, nastao je istoimeni grad Salona, nekad glavni grad rimske provincije Dalmacije. Danas je tu smješten grad Solin, nasljednik stare Salone koja mu je ostavila u nasljeđe bogatstvo spomenika i uglednu tradiciju metropole rimske provincije Dalmacije.
Sed potestas non solum si invitet, sed etiam si supplicet, cogit: unde se et Laberius a Caesare coactum in prologo testatur his versibus:
3 Necessitas, cuius cursus transversi impetum
Voluerunt multi effugere, pauci potuerunt,
Quo me detrusit paene extremis sensibus?
'It was one of the best answers in extempore Latin that ever I heard,' wrote Cecil to the absent Essex. Tradition has it that Elizabeth, conscious of her success, turned her back on the unfortunate young diplomat, remarking loudly to her courtiers, 'My lords, I have been forced this day to scour up my rusty old Latin.'
"Could you actually take your oath that you are the son of the father of whom she says that you are? Telemachus, you know, did not care at all to insist in support of Penelope, the daughter of Icarius, who was regarded as a very chaste woman, that she spoke the truth when she declared that Odysseus was his father.

Predlažemo da se uloga i ovlasti upravnog vijeća znanstvenih instituta pravno uredi prema modelu zemalja EU, gdje upravno vijeće ima prvenstveno nadzornu ulogu. Pokazalo se da trenutna situacija u kojoj upravno vijeće odlučuje o svakoj imalo važnijoj materiji usporava rad institucije, a ravnatelja i znanstveno vijeće stavlja u sekundarnu i derogiranu poziciju.
(Napomena: važećim Zakonom o ustanovama propisano je da upravno vijeće upravlja ustanovom tj. vodi financijsku i poslovnu politiku instituta, čime mu je data upravljačka a ne samo nadzorna uloga. Da bi se željena promjena mogla uvrstiti u budući zakon o znanosti bilo bi potrebno da takvu mogućnost dozvoli i Zakon o ustanovama).
Government funding for higher education is to be cut by 40 per cent over four years, suggesting that public funding for teaching in the arts, humanities and social sciences may come to an end.
The much-anticipated—and dreaded—report outlines the coalition government's plans to address the largest budget deficit Britain has faced outside of wartime. Almost all government departments, excluding health and overseas aid, will see their budgets cut by an average of 19 percent over four years, according to the so-called spending review. Cuts of 83 billion pounds (about $131-billion) are expected to result in the elimination of 490,000 public-sector jobs.
The news for British universities is particularly bad: Excluding research support, which will remain flat, the amount of money going to higher education will decline by 40 percent over the next four years, from 7.1 billion pounds (about $11-billion) to 4.2 billion pounds (about $6.6-billion).
