    Wild capitalism, privatisation and employment relations in Serbia

    This paper aims to examine the phenomenom of wild capitalism under post Communist transformation. Many commentators on post Communist transformation focus their attention on dysfunctional corporate governance and the deleterious consequences of liberalisation on business ethics. Poor business ethics and bad corporate governance may be a consequence of labour exploitation for comparative advantage, and the abandonment of party authority. This allowed rapacious rent-seeking by a minority well placed to benefit from the newly de-regulated regime. A by-product is a burgeoning informal economy encouraged by insider dealing of privatised state assets. State regulation, where it exists, is often ignored. Employment relations are fragmented, with state-owned enterprises retaining some form of collective regulation, while newly privatised enterprises seek to marginalise union activity

    Genetic bases of the evolution of organisms

    Biological progress consists of the continuous increase of divergence with simultaneous maintenance and the increase of conformance (harmoniousness) of living systems. A mutual balance between divergence of forms and the degree of perfection of their structure and function indicates a level of the evolutionary development of a particular group of organisms, i.e. a level and prospects of their evolutionary progress. An enormous potential of combined genetic polymorphousness is reduced to adaptive landscapes of a limited number of developmental programmes that make actual units of inheritance and variability within each species

    An exploratory study of heavy domain wall fermions on the lattice

    Full text link
    We report on an exploratory study of domain wall fermions (DWF) as a lattice regularisation for heavy quarks. Within the framework of quenched QCD with the tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action we identify the DWF parameters which minimise discretisation effects. We find the corresponding effective 4dd overlap operator to be exponentially local, independent of the quark mass. We determine a maximum bare heavy quark mass of amhā‰ˆ0.4am_h\approx 0.4, below which the approximate chiral symmetry and O(a)-improvement of DWF are sustained. This threshold appears to be largely independent of the lattice spacing. Based on these findings, we carried out a detailed scaling study for the heavy-strange meson dispersion relation and decay constant on four ensembles with lattice spacings in the range 2.0āˆ’5.7ā€‰GeV2.0-5.7\,\mathrm{GeV}. We observe very mild a2a^2 scaling towards the continuum limit. Our findings establish a sound basis for heavy DWF in dynamical simulations of lattice QCD with relevance to Standard Model phenomenology.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figure

    This paper deals with crime reconstruction as a method of crime investigation which represents a set of systematic, analytical processes which serve to provide relevant information about the manner of creation and dynamics of crime perpetration. Special attention is paid to ethical principles of crime reconstruction, as well as to the relationship between a scientific method and crime reconstruction method. In addition to this, basic information on models, scientific principles and practical standards of crime reconstruction have been presented. The subject of research is directed towards the analysis of determinants of creation of material pieces of evidence, as well as towards establishing theories and scientific principles for their analysis in order to deduct evidence admissible in court. Finally, the paper analyses the place of crime reconstruction within a complex procedure of its clearing up and proving.Rekonstrukcija krivičnog dela se definiÅ”e kao skup sistematskih analitičkih procesa kojima se obezbeđuju relevantne informacije o načinu nastanka i dinamici izvrÅ”enja krivičnog dela. Polaznu osnovu u njenoj realizaciji čine materijalni dokazi, do kojih se najvećim delom dolazi na uviđaju, ali i iskazi svedoka, žrtve i okrivljenog. Pri tome treba imati u vidu činjenicu da je percepcija krivičnog dela od strane različitih subjekata različita, te da je rezultat odraza radnje i determinanti krivičnog dela u njihovoj svesti. Rezultati rekonstrukcije zavise od poÅ”tovanja etičkih principa profesije, primene naučnih metoda i praktičnih standarda analize dokaza. Takođe, oni su direktno uslovljeni i profesionalizmom koji se manifestuje kroz stručnu (posedovanje neophodnih znanja vezanih za profesiju) i moralnu komponentu (etički kodeks profesije) ličnosti kriminaliste. Objektivna analiza činjenica, odnosno dokaza, podrazumeva postojanje profesionalnog integriteta i nezavisnosti osobe koja izvodi zaključke. Poseban akcenat u postupku rekonstrukcije treba staviti na praktične standarde, kao fundamentalna pravila interpretacije dokaza u postupku rekonstrukcije krivičnog dela

    Soil fertility is associated with the activity of soil microflora, which in its turn depends on the content of organic matter in soil, soil moisture, temperature and pH, mineral nutrition, effectiveness of nodular bacteria and the crop grown. An experiment was established in 2002 at Rimski Å ančevi experiment field of Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in which the soybean variety Afrodita was treated with microbial fertilizers NS-Nitragin and BactoFil B. The soybean variety and NS-Nitragin have been developed at the Institute, while BactoFil B comes from Hungary. The experimental design was random blocks with four replications. Each replication consisted of six 5-m rows spaced 0.5 m apart. Seed inoculation variants were: noninoculated control (Ƙ); inoculation with NS-Nitragin for soybean (N) immediately before planting; inoculation with NS-Nitragin and BaktoFil B incorporation in soil (N+Bac.B). We monitored the effect of inoculation on soil biological activity and effectiveness of the symbiotic association. The microbial fertilizers NS-Nitragin and BactoFil B positively affected the presence of the analyzed microbial groups in the soil. The microbial fertilizers improved the agrochemical and biological properties of the soil. The incorporation of the microorganisms also affected the effectiveness of the symbiotic association. Soybean yield was highest in the variant of inoculation with NS-Nitragin and BactoFil B incorporation in the soil. .Plodnost zemljiÅ”ta vezana je sa aktivnoŔću njene mikroflore, koja zavisi od sadržaja organske materije u zemljiÅ”tu, vlažnosti zemljiÅ”ta, temperature, pH sredine, mineralne ishrane, efektivnosti kvržičnih bakterija kao i od biljke domaćina. Na Oglednim poljima Naučnog instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo na Rimskim Å ančevima u toku 2002 godine je postavljen ogled sa sojom (Afrodita) uz primenu mikrobioloÅ”kog đubriva NS-Nitragina i BactoFila B. Genotip soje poreklom je iz Instituta kao i mikrobioloÅ”ki preparat NS-Nitragin za soju, a BactoFil B poreklom je iz Mađarske Ogled je postavljen po slučajnom blok sistemu u 4 ponavljanja, svako ponavljanje sadržalo je Å”est redova, dužine 5m, razmak između redova bio je 0,5m. Varijante inokulacije semena su bile: kontrolna (Ƙ) (neinokulisana); varijanta inokulisano seme neposredno pred setvu NS-Nitraginom za soju (N); inokulisano seme sa NS-Nitraginom i inkorporirani BaktoFil B u zemljiÅ”te (N+Bac.B) Praćen je efekat inokulacije na bioloÅ”ku aktivnost zemljiÅ”ta i efektivnost simbiotske zajednice. MikrobioloÅ”ka đubriva NS-Nitragin i BactoFil B utiču pozitivno na zastupljenost ispitivanih grupa mikroorganizama u zemljiÅ”tu. Primenom mikrobioloÅ”kih đubriva poboljÅ”avaju se agrohemijske i bioloÅ”ke osobine zemljiÅ”ta, unoÅ”enjem mikroorganizama koji obavljaju određene procese u zemljiÅ”tu utiče se i na efektivnost simbiotske zajednice. Prinos zrna soje najveći je kod inokulacije semena sa NS-Nitraginom i inkorporiranim BactoFilom B u zemljiÅ”te.

    Preliminary studies have shown that external oscillatory magnetic fields of a few mT imposed to the atmospheric pressure DC argon arc plasma with aerosol supply, can produce significant favourable changes of its spatial and spectral characteristic. These changes are promising for improvement the analytical performance of such treated plasma. In this work, the applied magnetic fields strengths were in the range of 29- 23 mT and frequencies of 300-900 Hz. Spatial emission intensities of several element lines have been investigated in such magnetic field-plasma configuration with various plasma operating conditions and arc device construction modifications. Applied magnetic field induces lines emission intensity enhancements of the most elements observed. Enhancements (up to 20 times) depend on arc current, magnetic field strength and frequency applied, composition of sprayed solution, spatial plasma zone observed and construction detailsPhysical chemistry 2004 : 7th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 21-23 September 200
