I politika ulazi kroz želudac

Author(s): Boris Beck / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3/2014

Alica u Zemlji čudesa počinje s relativnošću vremena — dok dobro nam znana djevojčica provodi pospani i tupi ljetni dan, u kojem se vrijeme, bez sumnje, vuče, dotle Bijeli Zec žuri pogledavajući na sat: jer njemu vrijeme leti. Taj nas je zec iz devetnaestog uveo u dvadeseto stoljeće, a leti i dalje, odvukavši Alicu u Zemlju čuda i još dalje, skroz iza zrcala.

Žene veleposlanika: od pranja tanjura do Opernog bala

Author(s): Davorka Vukov Colić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3/2014

U svijetu globalne diplomacije žene veleposlanika još nisu dobile pravo na vlastito ime i prezime. Na pozivnicama su označene kao »gospođe te i te ekscelencije«, bez vlastitog imena, a ponekad tek kao »pratilje« ili »družice«, ako nisu u službeno prijavljenom braku. O tim se ženama i njihovim poslovima vrlo malo zna, a često priča bez imalo razumijevanja i poštovanja, iako čine sol i papar svakog dobrog veleposlanstva. Uvijek korak iza supruga, nikada u prvom redu, a vrlo rijetko u prilici da se i u tuđoj zemlji nastave baviti vlastitom profesijom. Ali uvijek u dodatnim važnim poslovima, koji se nipošto ne svode samo na biranje jelovnika, haljina i ispijanje koktela.

The Bulgarian Theme in Constantinople's Monuments

Author(s): Vesselina Vachkova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2008

The article is due to the existence of fairly well known studies on both Bulgarian medieval history and Constantinople and its monuments.The more fundamental motivation, though, stems from the particular purposes of the study: 1. To offer an interpretation the sculptures of Constantinople not as “collectons”, i.e. as artefacts, not even merely as “wonders” (theama), which are nonetheless perceived as artefacts, but as a kind of alternative historical narratives that constitute a durable testimony of the most significant (sometimes traumatic) images in Byzantine cultural memory; 2. To explore the substance and the functions of the monuments in the context of a particular topic - the Bulgarian theme in the “stone memory of Constntinople” – as it can be provisionally called.

Славянският Псевдозонар

Author(s): Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2008

The first part of this article concentrates on the history of the term “Pseudo-Zonar” and on another one it derives from – Zonara, Zonar, used both by medieval scribes and contemporary Slavonic scholars. In the middle of the 13th century, the name “Zonara” was given to the Bulgarian redaction of the Kormchaja of 14 titles with interpretations by South Slavonic men of letters, as attested by the famous Letter of the independent despot of northwestern Bulgaria Yacob Svetoslav, a man of Russian descent, to the Kievan metropolitan Kirill, and by the Note of the scribe Yoan Dragoslav. “Pseudo-Zonaras” (PsZ) is a term proposed by A. S. Pavlov to designate the Slavonic translation of a twelfth-century Byzantine text, Cotelerius nomocanon, evoking the name of the French editor Jean-Baptiste Cotelier (1677). It represents an anonymous penitential of provincial South-Italian, Italo-Greek origin quite exotic in terms of judicial matters, composed on the basis of acknowledged Canon law sources, but with tangible traces of the local secular tradition, namely the Procheiron Legum, the Ecloga ad Procheiron Mutata, the Novels of the Norman king of Sicily, Calabria and Apulea Roger II (1130–1154), the Lombard law. In the Russian manuscript tradition Pseudo-Zonar is also called Zonar, or Zinar, which creates ambiguity in the correct identification of its representatives. In the second part of the article a comparison of some of the earliest Bulgarian copies of PsZ from 14th–15th cc. with Cotelier’s edition is undertaken. The comparison allows for the conclusion that the terms “Pseudo-Zonar” nomocanon” and “Cotelerius’ nomocanon” are not synonymous. Rather, translated sections of the second are part of the core structure of a Canon Law miscellany with presumed Bulgarian origin, created in the 13th or the very beginning of the 14th cc.

Канонично-правни текстове в състава на славянски ръкописи, съхранявани в български книгохранилища

Author(s): Desislava Naydenova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2008

The present article includes a preliminary list of texts of the canon law in a Slavonic manuscripts that are preserved in large Bulgarian libraries and depositories, as well as in small collections of libraries, monasteries and museums in the country. Although work on the scholary description of the Slavonic manuscripts in these collections has been going on for over a century now there is no list of the texts of the canon law (it has not even been established yet how many texts there are and to what kind of legal monuments they belong). There is also no clear notion of the manuscripts they are found in (thusq e.g. The Ecclesiastical Historical and Archival Institut of the Patriarchate of Bulgaria has no scholary description or inventory). The mss. included in the list have been examined de visu with a few exceptions. The material is arranged thematically. The description sticks to the following outline: name of the canon law text (incipits are given only when no printed edition was found); depository and call number of the manuscript; bibliography.

Кирилски и латински ръкописи от византийската традиция в контекста на културния и на религиозния плурализъм в Подкарпатския регион

Author(s): Peter Žeňuch / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2008

This essay elucidates some aspects concerning the research on Cyrillic and Latin sources of the orthodox (uniate) tradition and points out the need to consider these documents in the context of earlier Slovak culture and literature. This is borne out by previous field and archival research as well as by linguistic, historical, and culturological analyses of the sources. This kind of research opens up new possibilities in the process of discovering peculiarities of the Slovak national and cultural heritage, and, at the same time, contributes significantly to the interpretation of the linguistic, ethnic, and confessional relations in this area of Central Europe. This statement is based on the fact that the territory of Slovakia is, both geographically and culturally, a crossroad between East and West, North and South in the context of the Slavonic world. It it just in this area that living religious and cultural traditions of the Latin and Greek spheres come together. It is necessary to study this heritage, especially since the respective region naturally provides for ideal conditions to carry out the proposed research plans.

СТАНОВАЊЕ УЗ ПОДРШКУ ЗА ОСОБЕ СА ИНВАЛИДИТЕТОМ У СРБИЈИ – НЕКИ ПОКАЗАТЕЉИ КВАЛИТЕТА УСЛУГЕ

Author(s): Boban Petrović,Duška Stojisavljević,Dragomir Lukić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2016

The Community-Based Supported Housing (CBSH) service for people with disabilities, as one of the new social services, has been developing in the Balkans and Eastern Europe in the last 10 years. In Serbia, this program has been developed by several organizations and institutions, on the basis of at least two different models. However, the CBSH service, although defined by the new Law on Social Protection, is still not implemented in the social welfare system of Serbia, and there is a need for constant testing of the quality and effects of the CBSH service. The research was conducted on a sample of 23 people with intellectual disabilities (PwID), of different gender, age, degree and type of disabilities, who have already been using the housing system in cooperation with the Serbian association for promoting inclusion – SAPI's for 10 years. The applied instruments represent the operationalizations of the practical, cognitive and social competence, social inclusions in the community life and different personal characteristics of the users of the CBSH service. Data analysis is based on the descriptive statistics, repeated measures ANOVA and t-test for independent samples. The results indicate positive changes in all investigated aspects, and suggest that these changes may serve as indices of the quality of the the CBSH services.

BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT IN HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS FINANCED FROM THE BUDGET

Author(s): Blagoje Novićević,Natalija Borović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

In contemporary business conditions, where health care organizations operate as a part of the public sector, the management of these entities needs to be concentrated specifically and to a greater extent on the risk management policy, as a way of a deliberate, timely and responsible response to the possible dangers and challenges, in order to execute the entrusted public authority and satisfy the general interest. Risk management includes identification, monitoring and control of the potential dangers that could adversely affect the stability (continuity) of public functioning and/or the efficient realization of the targeted function of a health care organization, as well as the adoption of alternative solutions that would help avoid or neutralize their adverse impact. The dominance of the non-profit compared to the profit goals of business operations, where the priorities lie within the stability of the business activity, responsible and rational use of limited (and usually scarce) public funds, as well as the efficient satisfaction of public needs in the field of health care, clearly indicates that risk management in health care organizations requires a different orientation compared to the market-oriented business entities. In other words, the risk management in health care organizations requires a significantly changed way of defining, interpreting and measuring the risk factors, as well as changed ways and possibilities, that is, restrictions related to responding to the selected factors and/or characteristics of risk. If one adds to this the specificity of the output in health care, in terms of its importance, immeasurability, ways of manifestation, consequences that may arise, etc., risk management becomes a very complex problem, because in addition to achieving their own goals, health care organizations must carry out the activities of public interest, entrusted to them by the state.

NEW ACCOUNTING DIRECTIVE WITH THE AIM TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL REPORTING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Author(s): Milorad Stojilković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

This paper discusses the importance and the foremost intentions of Directive 2013/34/EU. It regulates the basics of financial reporting of micro-, small, medium-sized and large undertakings in the European Union. In addition, the new directive normatively regulates the issue of consolidated financial statements. Finally, it contains the appropriate amendments to the Eighth Directive (Directive 2006/43/EC), which expands the scope of the audit of financial statements, as well as the obligations of statutory auditors. It is therefore rightly called the Accounting Directive. Bearing in mind the importance of the information contained in financial statements, the aim of this paper is to indicate the expected directions of improvement of financial reporting in the European Union, projected by the Accounting Directive. In this regard, the paper points to the most important innovations prescribed by Directive 2013/34/EU. Then, it discusses the challenges which Member States legislatures will face when transposing the Directive into their national legislation, which is a necessary precondition for its application, as of 1 January 2016. Finally, based on the foregoing considerations, the paper analyzes the expected effects of the new regulatory framework for financial reporting in the European Union.

DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND MOTIVES OF THE VISITORS TO THE TOURIST MANIFESTATION NISVILLE JAZZ FESTIVAL

Author(s): Vukašin Šušić,Marija Bratić,Milan Milovanović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The organization of the events which include different cultural, musical, sporting and other events is a very complex process because it is a specific tourist industry and a product. This paper explores the socio-demographic characteristics, the educational structure, the funds available, the ways of informing the public, the vehicles traveling to the desired event, the behavior and habits of the visitors, with the aim identifying the target groups that visited one of the most important musical events in our country. The study was committed to the accidentally selected sample of 56 respondents who visited the NISVILLE JAZZ FESTIVAL, held in Nis in 2014. The survey included a heterogeneous structure of the participants regarding their gender, age, economic status, ethnicity, education and others. The survey should emphasise the effective ways of animating and attracting a large number of domestic and foreign visitors as well as the directions for the promotion of musical events in the future.

УТИЦАЈ ДЕПРЕСИЈАЦИЈЕ НАЦИОНАЛНЕ ВАЛУТЕ НА ТРГОВИНСКИ БИЛАНС РЕПУБЛИКЕ СРБИЈЕ

Author(s): Miloš Todorović,Milan Marković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2016

Many empirical studies don’t confirm, or, put in the second plan, the positive impact of the increase in the exchange rate (direct notation – European convention) on the balance of trade of the developing countries. Therefore, this paper examines the effect of the national currency depreciation on exports, imports and, in general, the balance of trade of the Republic of Serbia. This excludes the impact of inflation, which more or less cancels out the positive effect of the national currency depreciation. The methodology applied in the study highlights the correlation analysis and analysis of the elasticity of imports and exports in the context of the MarshallLerner condition. The research results show that the increase in the real effective exchange rate has a small positive effect on the trade balance, thanks to the relatively high elasticity of the domestic demand on imports. On the other hand, a distinct lack in the elasticity of exports to the stimulus through a reduction in the value of the national currency is noticeable, which is a problem of a structural nature, as well as the high import dependence on the largest export sectors of the Republic of Serbia.

COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN THE SYSTEM OF STATE AID IN SERBIA AND THE WESTERN BALKAN COUNTRIES – IMPACT ON THE EFFICIENCY OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESS

Author(s): Tamara Milenković Kerković,Boban Stojanović,Tanja Stanišić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The control of state aid allocation is an important part of competition policy, due to the selective nature of state aid and possibility of favoring market participants. Establishing of the system of state aid control is a part of the pre-accession commitments of the Western Balkans countries in the integration process into the European Union. The paper examines the degree of the development of the system in the analysed group of countries by applying a comparative - legal analysis. A correlation analysis examines the interdependence between the development of the system of state aid control and the success of the countries in the integration process. The aim of the paper is to emphasize the great importance of building an effective system as a mechanism of competition protection and an important pre-accession commitment of the/those countries.

INNOVATION AS A DETERMINANT OF COMPETITIVENESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Author(s): Gorica Bošković,Ljubodrag Savić,Vladimir Mićić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The backbone of the competitive advantage of a contemporary enterprise is its ability to innovate. Innovations are indispensable for every enterprise, regardless of its size. However, smaller business entities, i.e. small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) have a greater innovative capability in comparison to big systems, since they are more willing and more prepared to apply innovations (raw materials, products, services, processes, production organization) and new technologies quickly and instantaneously, as well as to employ highly qualified personnel. Moreover, they are more adaptable to market changes and to new technologies, which is, again, the direct result of the development of their innovative capacities and activities. Taking into consideration the tendencies in the development of SMEs in the Republic of Serbia, which indicate that the number of these enterprises is increasing, as well as their topicality and importance for the development of the national economy, the aim of this paper is to examine whether and to what extent an increase in the number of SMEs in the Republic of Serbia is followed by an increase in their innovativeness. This research question is of great importance as SMEs can attain a sustainable competitive edge and generate conditions for their further development only by means of innovativeness.

QUANTIFYING THE ECONOMIC PARAMETERS AS INDICATORS OF OPTIMAL MOMENT OF SERBIA'S ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Author(s): Zenaida Šabotić,Srđan Marinković,Dragić Banković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The process of joining the European Union is largely driven by the procedures developed clearly and in graet detail, and at first glance it may appear that the entire process does not have much room for creative functioning of national monetary authorities. However, given the duration of this process, the sequence of steps and preparatory actions have become an important aspect of the overall process, which is the responsibility of the candidate countries. The decision about the future steps should be made on the basis of an objective scientific analysis, based on the quantitative economic indicators. Therefore, it is very important for any prospective member states to determine the optimal moment of accession to the European Union, and later to the European Monetary Union, in terms of minimizing the adjustment costs, and maximizing the benefits of the future membership. The aim is to determine the optimal moment of Serbia's accession to the European Union, from the economic aspect, i.e. reaching the numerical values of the key macroeconomic data that were singled out as the most important indicators in this process.
