Using SVGāXML FOR representation of historical graphical data
Modern data representation requires XML-based approach. One of the ways to
represent any kind of graphical data in electronic form is to use Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG). So, XML and SVG are ideal means for the digital
representation of national heritage. Moreover, for the powerful using of SVG
one should learn a very complex syntax and related XML applications. In this
paper the advantages and drawbacks of SVG, in processing of national
heritage, are specified. Some examples about processing frescos and
manuscripts are presented
Two counterfeit coins
AbstractWe consider the problem of ascertaining the minimum number of weighings which suffice to determine the counterfeit (heavier) coins in a set of n coins of the same appearance, given a balance scale and the information that there are exactly two heavier coins present. An optimal procedure is constructed for infinitely many n's, and for all other n's a lower bound and an upper bound for the maximum number of steps of an optimal precedure are determined which differ by just one unit. Some results of Cairns are improved, and his conjecture at the end of [3] is proved in a slightly modified form
Run-time application migration using checkpoint/restore in userspace
This paper presents an empirical study on the feasibility of using
Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace (CRIU) for run-time application migration
between hosts, with a particular focus on edge computing and cloud
infrastructures. The paper provides experimental support for CRIU in Docker and
offers insights into the impact of application memory usage on checkpoint size,
time, and resources. Through a series of tests, we find that the time to
checkpoint is linearly proportional to the size of the memory allocation of the
container, while the restore is less so. Our findings contribute to the
understanding of CRIU's performance and its potential use in edge computing
scenarios. To obtain accurate and meaningful findings, we monitored system
telemetry while using CRIU to observe its impact on the host machine's CPU and
RAM. Although our results may not be groundbreaking, they offer a good overview
and a technical report on the feasibility of using CRIU on edge devices. This
study's findings and experimental support for CRIU in Docker could serve as a
useful reference for future research on performance optimization and
application migration using CRIU
PRIMENA PRAVILA O SAOBRAÄAJU NA MLADE VOZAÄE U SAD, ZEMLJAMA REGIONA I SRBIJI
This article deals with the subject of traffic law regulations regarding young drivers, in Serbia as well as abroad. Although different traffic laws do contain norms referring to young drivers, they did not turned out to be satisfying. From that reason rises the need for certain corrections to be made. In the last few years, it has been intensively worked on the improvement of traffic safety, throughout new laws and orders, aggressive media campaigns and professional driving schools simulating realistic circumstances in traffic and preparing drivers to cope with different situations. Despite the fact that citizensā awareness of this problem is growing, the number of young people losing life in accidents still remains frightening. Moreover, that number constantly grows. On the other hand, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that in the moment of traffic accident, most drivers turn out to be inļ¬uenced by drugs, alcohol etc. If we consider the significance of this problem, it is clear why so much attention has been dedicated to it and also why it is necessary to take certain steps in order to solve it in a quality way. In the text below, we will demonstrate few law solutions and do their comparison.U radu Äe se obraditi regulacija zakona o saobraÄaju u odnosu na mlade vozaÄe, kako u Srbiji, tako i u inostranstvu. Iako zakoni o saobraÄaju sadrže norme koje se odnose na mlade vozaÄe one se nisu pokazale kao dovoljne. Iz tog razloga javlja se potreba da se izvrÅ”e odreÄene izmene. Poslednjih godina intezivno se radi na poveÄanju bezbednosti u saobraÄaju kroz donoÅ”enje novih zakona i propisa, preko sve agresivnije medijske kampanje pa do profesionalnih Å”kola za obuku vozaÄa koje, simulacijom realnih okolnosti u saobraÄaju, spremaju vozaÄe za snalaženje u razliÄitim situacijama. MeÄutim, iako se svest graÄana o ovom problemu poveÄava i dalje je zabrinjavajuÄi broj mladih ljudi koji život izgube u saobraÄajnim nesreÄama, a ono Å”to jos viÅ”e brine je Å”to taj broj neprestano raste. Ne može se zanemariti ni Äinjenica da je u trenutku nesreÄe veliki broj vozaÄa pod dejstvom alkohola i narkotika. Ako uzmemo u obzir znaÄaj pitanja jasno je zaÅ”to mu je posveÄena tolika pažnja i zaÅ”to je neophodno preduzeti neÅ”to radi njegovog Å”to kvalitetnijeg reÅ”avanja. U daljem tekstu izložiÄemo neka zakonska reÅ”enja i izvrÅ”iti njihovo uporeÄivanje
NADZOR OSIGURANJA- DIREKTIVA SOLVENTNOST II
The Solvency II Directive has announced major changes in the insurance of the EU member countries, as well as non-member countries, when it comes to the solvency of the companies. Adopted November 22, 2009, but the beginning of implementation has been delayed until January 1, 2016. If we consider that the harmonization of legislation of countries takes time, resources, and education of professional personnel then this delay is understandable. The main reason for the adoption of the new Directive is strengthening of the single market in insurance and reinsurance through harmonized legal rules in order to increase the protection of the insurance users. Solvency II aims at a common market, working permit in one EU member allows carrying out activities in all other member countries. The issue of supervision in insurance is one of the most important issues in the directive, and all EU members are obligated to harmonize domestic legislation with the rules of the directive. The main intention of supervision is to protect a contractor, and users of insurance. In this paper author analyses three pillars of the directive and challenges of implementation, as well as the supervision, the rules of the directive on the supervision of insurance companies, and the manner in which the control is regulated in some EU member, and non-member countries.Direktiva Solventnost II je najavila velike promene na tržiÅ”tu osiguranja kako zemlja Älanica EU, tako i zemalja neÄlanica, kada je u pitanju solventnost druÅ”tva. Usvojena je 25. novembra 2009. godine, ali poÄetak primene je odlagan sve do 1. januara 2016 godine. Ako uzmemo u obzir, da je za usklaÄivanje zakonodavstva zemalja potrebno dosta vremena, sredstava, kao i edukacija struÄnog kadara, onda je navedeno odlaganje i razumljivo. Glavni razlog usvajanja nove direktive je jaÄanje jedinstvenog tržiÅ”ta osiguranja i reosiguranja preko harmonizovanih zakonskih pravila radi veÄe zaÅ”tite osiguranika. Solventnost II cilja na zajedniÄko tržiÅ”te, tj. dozvola za rad u jednoj državi Älanici dopuÅ”ta druÅ”tvu obavljanje delatnost u svim drugim zemljama Älanicama. Pitanje nadzora u osiguranju je jedno od najznaÄajnih pitanja kojima se direktiva bavi, i sve države Älanice su u obavezi da usklade domaÄe zakonodavstvo sa pravilima direktive. Glavni cilj nadzora je zaÅ”tita kako ugovaraÄa, tako i korisnika osiguranja. U radu se govori pre svega o tri stuba direktive i izazovima u njenoj primeni, zatim o pojmu nadzora, o pravilima direktive o nadzoru nad poslovanjem osiguravajuÄih druÅ”tava, kao i naÄinu na koji je nadzor regulisan u nekim zemljama Älanicama, i neÄlanicama EU
Non-strict plurisubharmonicity of energy on Teichm\"uller space
For an irreducible representation
there is an energy
functional , defined on
Teichm\"uller space by taking the energy of the associated equivariant harmonic
map into the symmetric space . It
follows from a result of Toledo that is plurisubharmonic,
i.e. its Levi form is positive semi-definite. We study the kernel of this Levi
form, and relate it to the action on the moduli space of Higgs
bundles. We also show that the points in where strict
plurisubharmonicity fails (i.e. this kernel is non-zero) are critical points of
the Hitchin fibration. When and , we show that for a generic
choice , the map is strictly plurisubharmonic. We
also describe the kernel of the Levi form for .Comment: 29 pages, 0 figure
Possibilities and limitations of territorial cooperation among Serbian and European towns
This paper deals with the significant European aims of the process of
intra-continental integration, as well as the role of the urban centers in
its transregional cooperation. Although the process of transborder
cooperation of towns exists also in other parts of the world, the roots of
that complex form of cooperation appeared rather early in Western Europe. The
area of Central Europe, especially the politically unstable southeastern part
of the continent, are considerably late in this process. Serbia, especially
its western and southern parts, is even more late in transborder regional
cooperation of towns. The paper emphasizes that towns of Serbia, as
development carriers with their intellectual potentials, have to express the
ideas on starting the international actions. The possibilities are extensive:
activation of neglected cooperation relations, improvement of technological
and economical development, modernization of infrastructural systems,
cooperation in culture, education, sports and recreation, environmental
protection, etc. Towns need to find the ways for all kinds of cooperation
with surrounding towns, if such cooperation gives the results which are
favourable for both parties. Isolation from the world courses would lead to
long-term stagnation. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.

Evroregioni u Podrinju
Regionalization is a contemporary conception of a development within a society. We are interested in cooperation at regions whose area is intersected by the national border. One of those borders is the Drina River that in different periods had changeable role of connecting or separating. In this way we want to stress the necessity of making a stronger, functional connection and developing of overall process of integration in the Podrinje region, on a land between the two republics-Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, because we think that this area has the most reasons for that, but so far it has been done very little. The first attempts to form Euroregions in Lower Podrinje region have already started, but it lacks many activities for this area to receive a cross-border role that it deserves.Regionalizaciju izdvajamo kao savremeni koncept razvoja u okviru jednog druÅ”tva. NaÅ” predmet interesovanja je saradnja na regionalnom nivou Äije podruÄje preseca državna granica. Jedna takva, istorijski nametnuta, granica je reka Drina, koja je u razliÄitim periodima imala i promenljivu ulogu - spajanja ili razdvajanja. Ovom prilikom želimo da ukažemo na potrebu stvaranja ÄvrÅ”Äe funkcionalne veze i razvoja sveobuhvatnog procesa integracije u oblasti Podrinja, na kontaktu izmeÄu dveju republika - Srbije i Srpske, jer smatramo da u ovom podruÄju postoji najviÅ”e osnova za to, a do sada je uÄinjeno vrlo malo. Prvi pokuÅ”aji oko formiranja evroregiona u donjem Podrinju veÄ su pokrenuti, ali nedostaje joÅ” mnogo aktivnosti kako bi ovo podruÄje dobilo transgraniÄnu ulogu kakvu zaslužuje
