Western Balkans’ Banking Sector Performance in Terms of Macroeconomic and Bank Specific Efficiency Determinants

The main objective of this study is to analyze banking efficiency and productivity considering evidences from Western Balkan countries in pre crisis, during and the recovery period. Referring to the historic background and the transformations suffered, the WB countries have developed bank based financial structure so the soundness of the banking sector is significantly important for the stability and progress of their economies on the long run. The problems faced by the last recession, the deteriorated macroeconomic indicators and weak, inefficient banking sector translated in slow recovery rates, encouraged this study. Prior studies have been mainly focused in causes and effects of crisis in different sectors of economies while this paper presents relations and dependencies between the macroeconomic and bank specific efficiency determinants. The methodology used is the comparison between countries and as method the financial ratio analysis, intending the presentation of trends and evaluation of changes in efficiency, profitability and performance indicators during 2000-2007 comparing with 2008-2013. Results that the banking sector profitability indicators follow the same negative trend with the economic growth rates and the recovery rates are lower than the forecasted. The results can be used by performance monitors to better identify vulnerabilities and examine uncertainties/risks

An analysis of key factors affecting New Town Planning with a human-centred approach

Since new towns are to meet the needs of the metropolitan population, it is required to acquaint the populations with the new scientific-technical methods and take one more step towards civilisation. Given that the New Town seeks to provide the latest facilities for citizens, a human-oriented approach can be proposed. New Urbanism with a humanistic approach requires coherent and dynamic planning. New structures and the various needs of the New Towns require comprehensive and integrated planning to utilise recent facilities to lead New Towns toward a human-centred attitude. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyse the key factors affecting the planning of New Towns with a humanistic approach. The method in this research is a descriptive-analytical survey. In the first step of the research, a list of primary factors involved in planning new cities was identified as research variables, using documentary sources and previous research. Then the research variables were analysed based on the Delphi method. Accordingly, 34 variables were provided in five domains for 50 experts in urban planning issues in the form of questionnaires to be analysed in matrices.The findings of the study are demonstrated in five aspects: cultural-social, physicalspatial, economic, environmental, and governance topics, with 34 components. The results show that citizenship rights, social capital, transparency, accountability, law, participation, consensus, quality of performance and managerial effectiveness, efficiency, economic welfare, sustainable active economy, meeting economic needs, quality of texture, and spirituality have the highest impact and the lowest affectedness on the realisation of human-centred New Urbanism. The results can be useful and effective by establishing integrity and fundamental theoretical principles in planning, implementation and strategic control of New Towns.Since new towns are to meet the needs of the metropolitan population,it is required to acquaint the populations with the new scientific-technicalmethods and take one more step towards civilisation.

CANINE EPIDIDYMAL SPERMATOZOA: CHARACTERISTICS, COLLECTION AND CRYOPRESERVATION.

Epididymal spermatozoa represent the only source of genetic material when the male dies unexpectedly or undergoes orchiectomy for medical reasons. Yet, in individuals of high genetic or emotional value that cannot mate or ejaculate semen, the collection of spermatozoa from in situ epididymides might be an option to obtain progeny. The aims of the studies presented here were to describe the characteristics of spermatozoa collected from the different regions of the epididymis (caput, corpus, and cauda) and to investigate the feasibility of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) in dogs. Furthermore, the preservation of DNA integrity in canine epididymal frozen spermatozoa and the potential protective effect of the antioxidant melatonin on post-thaw sperm quality were evaluated. Overall results showed that canine epididymal spermatozoa undergo several modifications in the epididymis, leading to mature cells which are stored in the epididymal cauda. From this site, spermatozoa can be retrieved by PESA and the quality of the sperm population is similar to that of spermatozoa collected in vitro, although a wide variation amongst animals was observed. The cryopreservation of epididymal spermatozoa showed that the DNA integrity is well preserved, but a protective effect of melatonin on post-thaw sperm quality has not been demonstrated. The DNA stability after thawing is particularly relevant for epididymal spermatozoa which potential use in assisted reproductive techniques is mainly after storage. However, other sperm characteristics as motility and acrosomal integrity are compromised by freezing and further investigations should be focused on their preservation

Jednostavna metoda za optimalan odabir stupnja hibridizacije (DOH) u paralelnim putničkim hibridnim automobilima

In this paper, a simple but efficient Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA) II based technique is proposed for optimizing the Degree of Hybridization (DOH) in parallel passenger hybrid cars. The authors\u27 objective is to improve performance, maximize fuel economy and at the same time, minimize mass and emissions as much as possible, by optimal selection of DOH. The NSGA-II, which is a multi-objective optimization algorithm, is applied to optimize this multiple objective problem. The ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR) software is used as simulation tool. To validate high efficiency of proposed methodology, necessary simulations have been carried out on a small-size test car. The results indicates that the proposed methodology is very fast and efficient and can be well applied to any other types of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs).U radu je predložena jednostavna i efikasna metoda zasnovana na nedominirano-sortirajućem genetičkom algoritmu (NSGA) II u svrhu optimiranja stupnja hibridizacije (DOH) u paralelnim putničkim hibridnim automobilima. Cilj je unaprijediti performanse, maksimizirati ekonomičnost goriva te istovremeno minimizirati emisiju koliko god je moguće uz optimalni odabir DOH. NSGA-II algoritam, koji spada u višekriterijske optimizacijske algoritme, korišten je za optimiranje problema s više ciljeva. Napredni simulator vozila (ADVISOR softver) korišten je kao simulacijski alat. Simulacije su provedene na umanjenom testnom vozilu kako bi se validirala visoka efikasnost predložene metodologije. Rezultati ukazuju da je predložena metoda vrlo brza i efikasna te ju je moguće primijeniti i na bilo koji drugi tip hibridnog električnog vozila (HEV)

Hegemonía y acumulación en el gobierno de Eduardo Duhalde, 2002-2003

La crisis de hegemonía y acumulación del año 2001 marcó un punto de inflexión en la historia argentina reciente. El colapso del modelo de la convertibilidad evidenció la reapertura de enfrentamientos al interior de la clase dominante que, junto al avance de la lucha de las clases subalternas, parecieron establecer un principio de crisis orgánica, abarcando múltiples dimensiones. En este contexto emerge el gobierno de Eduardo Duhalde, elegido por el Parlamento tras la caída de tres presidentes. La ponencia procura analizar las distintas estrategias desplegadas por el gobierno de Duhalde con el fin de avanzar hacia la sutura de la crisis por entonces vigente. En este camino, abordaremos un conjunto de políticas fundacionales a nivel del modelo de acumulación con el fin de dar respuestas a la crisis económica. Luego analizaremos las acciones estatales en materia ideológico-cultural a partir de los discursos presidenciales donde comienza a explicitarse un rasgo duradero del período: un discurso de perfil productivista que promueve la idea de cambiar el tipo de alianza establecida entre Estado y empresarios. Asimismo, abordaremos las acciones orientadas a suturar la dimensión política de la crisis, a través del despliegue de una estrategia de contención/coerción basada en la masificación de planes sociales y el recrudecimiento de la represión y criminalización de la protesta social.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació
