🇭🇷 U ovom predavanju istražiti ćemo Trunk-Based Development (TBD) — pojednostavljeni model grananja u sustavima za verzioniranje koda, osmišljen za podršku continuous integration & continuous delivery pristupu. Usporediti ćemo ga s tradicionalnim grananjem po feature-ima, istaknuti kako TBD poboljšava suradnju i brzinu dostavljanja feature-a te raspraviti što je potrebno za njegovu uspješnu primjenu. Predavač će podijeliti osobna iskustva zajedno s primjerima iz stvarnog svijeta iz različitih dijelova industrije. 🇬🇧 In this talk, we’ll explore Trunk-Based Development (TBD) — a streamlined source control branching model designed to support continuous integration and continuous delivery. We’ll compare it to traditional feature branching, highlight how TBD improves collaboration and release velocity, and discuss what’s needed to implement it successfully. The speaker will share personal experiences along with real-world case studies from across the industry. 📣 Speaker: [Hrvoje Rančić](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrvoje-rancic-763195242/) ©️ Cover image by [brgfx / Freepik](https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/boy-climbing-help-cat-thats-stuck-tree-cartoon-isolated_11691083.htm).

Speaker: **Ivana Martić** Title: **When a Prompt Becomes Part of the System: Voice AI in the Recruiting Industry** Prompting is often reduced to writing a few clear instructions for LLMs. In Voice AI systems that interact with humans in real time — without scroll-back, in noisy environments, and with unpredictable human speech — the prompt becomes part of the system, and prompt engineering turns into an engineering problem. Using Voice AI agents in the recruiting industry as a case study, we will talk about key challenges of controlling voice agents and shows how their behavior is designed, monitored and evaluated in production. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Join us on **Wednesday** at MaMa for a first talk of the year. Drinks and a discussion afterwards at [Old Pharmacy Pub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AeaRdnBrMqPiRhvPA) 🍻🍷🥤

Poznata hrvatska neuroznanstvenica i akademkinja **Vida Demarin** majstorski spaja strogu neurologiju s duhovnim i holističkim pristupom životu. Njezina glavna poruka je snažna i osnažujuća: **mi sami oblikujemo strukturu svog mozga!** Kroz misli, emocije, vizualizacije i ljubav možemo aktivno mijenjati strukturu i funkciju mozga zahvaljujući **neuroplastičnosti** – sposobnosti mozga da se prilagođava i obnavlja tijekom cijelog života. Genetika utječe samo oko **5%**, dok **epigenetika** – naš način života, misli i emocije – čini čak **95%**. Mozak ne razlikuje u potpunosti maštu od stvarnosti, pa pozitivne vizualizacije i emocije poput ljubavi i zahvalnosti doslovno mijenjaju kemiju tijela i mozga. Na ovom meetupu istražit ćemo ključne teme iz Demarinih učenja: * **Ljubav kao najjači stimulus** za neuroplastičnost – jača empatiju, emocionalnu regulaciju i otpornost na stres. * **Upravljanje emocijama**: Kako promijeniti 75% negativnih misli afirmacijama i vizualizacijom te razviti samokontrolu. * **Oproštenje i odgovornost** – ključ oslobađanja od ljutnje i trauma. * **Stres i otpornost**: Razlika između "dobrog" i "lošeg" stresa te kako preuzeti kontrolu nad reakcijama (inspirirano Viktorom Franklom). * **Empatija i odnosi**: Kvalitetni odnosi i ljubav temelj su sreće i zdravlja mozga (prema Harvardovom istraživanju). * **Intuicija srca**: Srce ima svoju "inteligenciju" koja povezuje emocije s mudrošću i emocionalnom zrelosti. Akademkinja Vida Demarin cijenjena je specijalistica neuropsihijatrije te redovita članica Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti. Predsjednica je Međunarodnog instituta za zdravlje mozga te jedna od osnivača uvođenja neinvazivne ultrazvučne dopler dijagnostike i procjene moždane cirkulacije ne samo u Hrvatskoj, već i u ovom dijelu Europe. 📍 Pivana, Ilica 222, Zagreb 🗓 14.01.2026. u 18:00 h Organizator: Međunarodni institut za emocionalnu zrelost – zajednica poduzetnika, stručnjaka i znanstvenika posvećenih razvoju pojedinaca i društva.🌐 http://emotionalmaturity.eu

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
