Religious Affiliation, 2001: Roman Catholic by Census Division
Authors:   Atlas of Canada
Published: December 2018

Between 1991 and 2001, the number of Roman Catholics in Canada increased slightly, while the number adhering to Protestant denominations continued a long-term decline. The census enumerated just under 12.8 million Roman Catholics, up 4.8%, while the number of
Protestants fell 8.2% to about 8.7 million. The largest gains in religious affiliations occurred among faiths consistent with changing immigration patterns toward more immigrants from regions outside of Europe, in particular Asia and the Middle East.

Validation of the RACMO2.3 surface mass-balance model over northwest Devon Ice Cap, Nunavut
Authors: Burgess D O
Published: December 2018

The RACMO2.3 regional climate model has been validated against in-situ mass-balance measurements along the northwest Devon ice cap transect (herein after referred to as Devon(NW)) at annual, pentadal, and decadal time scales over the period spanning 2006 to 2015.
Results show close agreement between Summer Balance measurements at the pentadal and decadal time scales, with a bias towards suppressed melt by ~200 mm w.e. in the RACMO2.3 data averaged over the entire transect (ie. 100 - 1800 m a.s.l.), and maximum biases to ~600 mm w.e. between 400 and
900 m a.s.l. Comparisons at the annual scale indicate greatest discrepancies for 2010 for which RACMO2.3 was up to 80 cm w.e. less negative than the in-situ values. Winter Balance in the RACMO2.3 data showed an inverse elevational trend relative to the in-situ values with an overall bias towards
greater accumulation by ~120 mm w.e. along the entire transect. At the basin-wide scale, RACMO2.3 under (over) estimates of summer (winter) balance values combine to result in basin-wide estimates of net balance for the Devon (NW) basin to be 37% less negative than the in-situ measurements
over the 2006-2015 period. Reasonable agreement with in-situ derived Summer Balance values indicates RACMO2.3 can provide estimates of seasonal freshwater flux to oceans close to and within error of the measurements. However, significant biases in the RACMO2.3 Net Annual Balance modeled values must
be accounted for when estimating annual or multi-annual contributions to global sea-level rise from glaciers and ice caps in the Canadian high Arctic.
Assessing the Impact of Training on Staff Performance: Evidence from Ghana Health Service in the Kumasi Metropolis
Authors: Timah Victoria
Published: December 2018

The quest for quality efficient workforce in the attainment of organizational goals continues to attract attention from organizations in their desire to remain competitive in the business arena. This study sought to assess the impact of training on staff performance at the Ghana Health Service in the Kumasi Metropolis (GHS-K). The research was conducted through questionnaire administration on the impact of staff training and development at GHS-K. The questionnaire was administered to randomly selected health workers at the selected public hospitals and staff of GHS-K. The data collected were analyzed to yield frequencies and percentages of responses. The results showed that In-service training (85.0%) as part of on-the-job training types dominate training programmes organized by GHS-Kumasi Metro and that greater number of these programmes are routine (66.0%) in nature and as such do not base on training- needs assessment. The study also shows that the organization of training and development programmes at GHS-K has brought some remarkable improvement (59.0%) in the performance of employees, and that ﬁnancial constraints (64.0%) and lack of organizational objectives (54.0%) pose a challenge to its sustenance. The study concludes that as more training programmes in varying forms are given to employees and right procedures adopted, better performance of job execution will be achieved.

Proces humanizacji pracy czy nowe ideologie?
Authors: Dudek Joanna
Published: December 2018

The effects of radical innovations in the economy and the social sphere cause changes in socio-professional relationship and the transformation of a work man. The motto of work humanization, raising ethical aspects protecting the subjectivity of its producers – in global capitalism – carries many risks as well as raises justified doubts. The model of active life, the syndrome of well-being, the pressure on self-improvement, the ability of self-managing are the new ideologies that convert a human into a product put up for sale, ”a product” that will soon become outdated unless it is subjected to continuous updating. The acceptance of such a lifestyle and work is supposed to foster the personal human market value. The process of blurring the differences between life and work, the professional and private sphere appropriates and reduces the human personality and shifts the blame for the failure from the system onto the individual. In this way, the control system is transformed into a more sophisticated control and over-regulation in relation to the individual. Humanization becomes a contradiction and the effects of work and professional ethics lose their sense and philosophical-anthropological foundations.
Rationality, Moral Motivation and Psychopathology
Authors: Jasser Karolina
Published: December 2018

Motivational internalism is a view according to which moral judgments are necessarily motivating. Rationalist internalism (RI) is the most popular version of this view; it limits internalism to people who are practically rational. Motivational internalism, including RI, has been criticized as being incompatible with research into certain personality disorder; in particular psychopathic personality and pathological personality which is the result of damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (shortened to VM damage). In this paper, I argue that many of the features of psychopathic personality and of VM damage, which some philosophers interpreted as direct proof against internalism, should be understood as having an effect on the practical rationality of the patients. This means that these personality disorders cannot be used as counter examples to RI and can, in fact, be seen as supporting RI to some extent . I begin by describing RI. I then turn to I describing the phenomenon of psychopathic personality and VM damage and their philosophically relevant features. Finally I discuss whether the features characterizing psychopathy and VM damage influence the degree to which these disorders can serve as counterexamples to internalism of the rationalist variety.
Removal of sodium dodecyl sulfate from protein samples
Authors: Žilionis Andrius
Published: December 2018

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a widely used detergent for protein denaturation and solubilization. However, application of SDS in the sample preparation for the liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis is limited because commonly used SDS concentrations interfere with reversed phase liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. In order to analyse SDS pretreated proteins by the above-mentioned methods SDS must be completely removed or its concentration must be lowered to less than 0.01%. In this work we present a comparison of different SDS removal strategies based on SDS ultrafiltration, protein precipitation and SDS precipitation methods. Every strategy was optimized so that the initial 4% SDS concentration was lowered to less than 0.01% and the initial sample volume remained unchanged. The modified Mukerjee’s photometric method was used for the SDS quantitation in the presence of model protein bovine serum albumin and the recovery of model protein was evaluated using reversed phase ultra performance liquid chromatography. The main advantages and drawbacks of every strategy are discussed.
Memory in Contemporary Baltic Literature
Authors: Mykolaitytė Aurelija
Published: December 2018

The goal of this article is to explore the concepts of memory and to explain specific features of a literary text. According to the German literary scholar Astrid Erll, a story could be presented in a cultural and/or a communicative mode. The analysis of the novels by Rūta Šepetys, Māra Zālīte, and Ilmar Taska shows trends of structural models of the narrative. The author of this study comes to the conclusion that writers tend to express processes of remembering in different ways. The choice of the mode could possibly be understood as a strategy of communication: the framework of presentation of the narrated events indicates possible cultural effects of the literary text.
Kampen om kvinden. Begrebshistoriske perspektiver
Authors: Fossat Sissel Bjerrum , Martinsen Lone Kølle , Skov Jesper Lundsby
Published: December 2018

Contesting the concept of Woman: Perspectives from conceptual history.The main argument of this article is that the concept of kvinde (woman) was redefined in the 19th century in Denmark, and that it can be studied alongside other central concepts. Kvinde re-entered the Danish vocabulary as a universal term for woman not bound to social or marital status. Early romanticists such as Adam Oehlenschläger (1779-1850) and N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872) used and disseminated sagas and myths from Old Norse mythology to re-conceptualize the concept of kvinde in romantic poetry. Gradually the concept of kvinde entered other spheres of society. The article seeks to present a framework for further studies, not only in the debates and themes proposed here, but also in relation to other gendered discussions of the 19th century. The article is a preliminary attempt to establish the concept of kvinde in a conceptual framework, arguing that the concept needs to be studied in more depth as central to the discussions of the 19th century
Dance to the Two-Spirit. Mythologizations of the Queer Native
Authors: Kongerslev Marianne
Published: December 2018

In 1998, the American anthropologist Will Roscoe referred to pre-colonial North America as “the queerest continent on the planet” (Roscoe 1998, 4), expressing a more universally accepted idea that before settlers arrived in North America, Indigenous peoples embraced and celebrated queer and trans people. Building on this anachronistic assumption, this article investigates the historical and anthropological constructions of the ‘Sacred Queer Native’ trope and argues that its attendant discourses perpetuate an idea of the ‘Sacred Queer Native’ figure as a mythological Noble Savage doomed to perish. The anthropological accounts therefore serve as settler colonial tools of elimination, relegating (queer) Indigenous peoples to the past, while emulating their ‘queerness’ in order to legitimize modern Lesbian and gay identities. At the same time, Indigenous poets celebrate(d) the same figuration as a strategy for empowerment, reclaiming historical positions of power and sovereignty through celebratory and often erotic poetries that directly and indirectly critique settler colonial heteropatriarchy. The article concludes that the contentions over the figure of the Sacred Queer Native and its anti-colonial, Indigenouscounter-construction, Two-Spirit, illustrates both the constructedness of gender and sexualities and the need for continued critique in the field.
Voksne etniske minoritetsmænd - marginalisering og intersektionalitet
Authors: Jensen Sune Qvotrup , Larsen Jeppe Fuglsang , Christensen Ann-Dorte
Published: December 2018

Adult Ethnic Minority Men - Marginalization and IntersectionalityAdult ethnic minority men make up a blind spot in gender and masculinity research. The article contributes to Danish gender studies by examining adult ethnic minority men in a suburb of Aalborg. The analysis applies an intersectional perspective as well as conceptualizations of class travel and othering. Methodologically it is based on qualitative interviews with 24 ethnic minority men living in the area. The article analyzes specific processes of marginalization in relation to local culture and social politics; implications of downward class journey; and processes of othering. One of the main findings is that the marginalized position of these adult ethnic men is related to intersecting categories where for instance the downward class journey and the processes of othering are intertwined and inseparable.

Vernacular reviews as a form of co-consumption: The user-generated review videos on YouTube
Authors: Jaakkola Maarit
Published: December 2018

Reviews of arts and culture are typically focused on legitimate forms of art rather than popular and consumer culture. Looking beyond such institutionalized reviews, this article inquires into the online-native, bottom-up forms of reviewing. The aim is to identify user-generated reviews of popular cultural objects, defined through the user reviewers’ position as cultural consumers and the size of their audiences. The objects of study are YouTube channels that include a regular output of review videos. First, the 5,000 most-subscribed channels are analysed to identify content creators who establish a relationship to cultural objects. Second, types of reviewing are identified, and the methods and boundaries of ‘vernacular reviewing’ are discussed. User-generated reviewing on YouTube presents a meta-practice related to cultural objects for young audiences that is marked by the use of hybrid genres, humour, irony and the idea of co-consuming, reflected in the concept of intramediation
Cultural journalists on social media
Authors: Kristensen Nete Nørgaard , From Unni
Published: December 2018

This article investigates the use of social media among a particular group of journalists: cultural journalists. Combining research on social media journalism with research on cultural journalism and applying a mix-method approach, the study shows that use of social media is still a fairly random practice in cultural newsrooms. It also shows that cultural journalists use their Twitter and Facebook accounts interchangeably as tools for professional communication in their daily work and for personal communication in their daily lives. In other words, their social media practices blur the boundaries between institutional interests and professional identities, and more private interests and personal identities. While this may be a challenge to most journalists, it resonates well with the professional logics of cultural journalists. They have long practiced their work in a grey-zone between the public and the private, and the objective and subjective. Through their social media practices, they promote the media institution they work for and their own ‘personalised’ professional brand.
Hermione’s feminist book club: celebrity activism and cultural critique
Authors: Haastrup Helle Kannik
Published: December 2018

In this article, I analyse how a celebrity can perform cultural critique and feminist activism using her Instagram account and online book club. The celebrity in question is British film star Emma Watson, famous for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise. Watson is performing her activism on gender equality and cultural critique by recommending feminist literature. This study undertakes an analysis of Watson’s presentations of self on Instagram and in her letters in the Our Shared Shelf book club. The analysis takes its point of departure from theories of social media and celebrity culture and film studies as well as investigations of celebrity book clubs and celebrity activism. This case study of Emma Watson’s performance of cultural critique and activism on specific media platforms demonstrates that Watson’s authority is based on her star image as well as the fact that her book club letters and Instagram posts mutually reinforce one another’s written personal arguments and visual documentation.
DR3 på flow og streaming – en todelt kanalanalyse
Authors: Andersen Mads Møller Tommerup
Published: December 2018

Denne artikel foretager en todelt analyse af DR3’s udvikling i de seneste fem år og finder store forskelle på, hvilke DR3-programmer og genrer der dominerer seertallene på henholdsvis flow-tv og streaming: Sport, store musikevents og et spinoffprogram er blandt de mest sete på flowkanalen, mens fiktion (primært SKAM) dominerer streamingtallene. Dette understreger vanskelighederne i, hvad artiklen kalder den todelte distributionsstrategi og i at skulle producere til to forskellige platforme og seerskarer, som kan have meget forskellige genrepræferencer, og at det næsten er som at skulle administrere to forskellige tv-kanaler på én gang. Artiklens kvalitative bidrag viser to strømninger i kanalens mange faktaprogrammer – henholdsvis de journalistiske eksperimenter og de intime dokumentariske portrætter – der skal understøtte DR3-brandets kerneværdier om hudløs ærlighed, eksperimenter på egen krop og absurditeter i samfundet. Sammenholdt med kanalens nyere fiktionsstrategi peger konklusionen på en kanal, der kan have potentialet til at være en sandkassekanal for DR ved at afprøve nye programkoncepter og tidsformater. Artiklen bidrager ligeledes med en diskussion af problemerne i Seerundersøgelsens metode, som tegner et billede af to inkompatible måleparadigmer, og den diskuterer uforeneligheden mellem flow og streaming i både målemetoder og kanalbranding.
Når militæret skriver krigshistorier
Authors: Toft Christine Strandmose
Published: December 2018

Christine Strandmose Toft: “When the Military Writes War Stories. A Reading of David Abrams’ Fobbit”This article examines David Abram’s novel Fobbit (2012), a satirical comedy about Chance Gooding who works as a public affairs officer in the Army. First part of the article concerns the representation of the military’s attempt to represent war and asks why it is of paramount importance to the military to control the public’s view of the Iraq War. The second part considers the novel as meta-representation and discusses the kind of laughter it produces and its critical potential.
Slagscener i det elizabethanske teater
Authors: Dahl Christian
Published: December 2018

Christian Dahl: “Battle scenes in the Elizabethan theater”This article analyses the widespread use of staged battle in Elizabethan theater by use of data extracted from Folger Library’s Digital Anthology of Early English Drama. Between 1576 and 1616, hundreds of battle scenes were produced on English stages but although a substantial number is still available for study, only few scholars have recognized their significance. The many battle scenes both attest to the Elizabethans’ vivid interest in history and to the cultural impact of England’s increasing military engagement on the Continent and in Ireland at the end of Elizabeth’s reign. It is often assumed that histories and battle scenes were particularly popular in the 1590’ies and then fell out of fashion early in the 17th century, but the article demonstrates that staged war remained a frequent occurrence in the first two decades of the century and never disappeared entirely. The article discusses visual and, in particular, acoustic representation of warfare based on the evidence of surviving plays and other documents. The article will also (very) briefly sketch the narrative development of battle scenes that took place in the 1590ies.
Реиндустријализација - између закашњелог буђења и нове парадигме привредног раста // Reindustrializa
Authors: Лојпур Анђелко С. , Лојпур Ања А.
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Велики и снажан талас оптимизма који је почетком 90-их година 20. вијека захватио бивше социјалистичке земље у погледу коначног исхода транзиције је већ крајем прве декаде 21.вијека смијенио још снажнији талас песимизма. Уједно, појавом глобалне економске кризе потврдило се да социјалистичка опредјељења немају шанси, да је капитализам подложан перманентној кризи, али да је упитна његова пролазност. Питање које се додатно са убрзавањем системске кризе на глобалном нивоу наметнуло јесте: могу ли бивше социјалистичке, мање развијене земље бити равноправни сарадници у процесу ширења мултинационалне привредне концепције, или ће завршити на периферији, што би значило даље раслојавање у нивоу богатства, болну експлоатацију оскудних привредних ресурса и све веће заостајање у индустријализацији. Полазећи од тога да проблем разумијевања динамике индустријског капитализма није ништа изгубио на свом значају ни до данашњих дана, аутори у овом раду имају за циљ да потраже одговоре на питање: да ли је и како могуће преокренути будући концепт развоја у земљама у транзицији у правцу веће свјетске једнакости у богатству, укључујући и питање реиндустријализације.Summary: A large and powerful wave of optimism that the early nineties swept former socialist countries in terms of the final outcome of the transition is the end of the first decade of the 21st century removed even more powerful wave of pessimism. At the same time, the advent of the global economic crisis has confirmed that the socialist orientation have no chance, that capitalism is subject to permanent crisis, but it is doubtful its transience. The question used in addition to accelerating the systemic crisis in the global proficiency level is imposed, whether the former socialist, less developed countries become equal collaborators in the process of expanding multinational economic concepts, or will end up on the periphery, which would mean further stratification of the level of wealth, painful exploitation of scarce economic resources and the increasing backwardness in industrialization. Given that the problem of understanding the dynamics of industrial capitalism has not lost its importance even to the present day, the author in this paper aims to look for an answer to the question, whether and how to be reversed because the concept of development in the countries in transition towards more a world of equality in wealth, including the issue of re-industrialization.

After that we discuss market value added as a difference between company market value and value of invested capital. Then the interdependence between economic value added and market value added is explained. Finally, we point out that there is relationship between net present value as a method for investment rentability evaluation and company market value.
Индустријализација и раст бруто друштвеног производа // The Industrialization and Growth of Gross Domestic Product
Authors: Маркић Брано , Бијакшић Сања , Беванда Арнела
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Рад је истраживање и емпиријска верификација закона Ницхолас Калдора о утицају индустријске производње на раст бруто друштвеног производа. Калдор је формулисао принципе економског раста у облику три закона који настоје утврдити кључне узроке економског раста. Први његов закон тврди да је стопа раста привреде позитивно корелирана са стопом раста њезина производног сектора. Индустрија као најважнија снага развоја привреде се поодавно анализира у литератури о привредном развоју: Hirschman (1961), Rosenstein-Rodan (1943), Th irnjall (2013), Cornnjall (1977). Циљ рада је емпиријски провјерити Калдоров приступ расту и развоју у Федерацији Босне и Херцеговине. Стога је обликован посебан скуп података кога чине дводимензионалне табеле и временске серије. Регресијском анализом је квантификована повезаност између стопа раста бруто друштвеног производа и стопе раста индустријске производње.Summary: The paper the industrialization and the growth of gross domestic product is a research and empirical verification of Nicholas Kaldor laws on the impact of industrial production to GDP growth. Kaldor has formulated the principles of economic growth in the form of three laws that tend to identify key causes of economic growth. His first law asserts that the rate of economic growth is positively correlated with the rate of growth of its manufacturing sector. Industry as the most important force of economic development is widely analyzed in the literature on economic development (Hirschman (1961), Rosenstein-Rodan (1943), Thirwall (2013), Cornwall (1977)). The aim is to empirically test the Kaldor’s approach to growth and development in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is therefore designed a special data set consisting of two-dimensional tables and time series. Using regression analysis was quantified the relationship between the growth rate of gross domestic product and the growth of industrial production.
Пословни амбијент у Босни и Херцеговини – анализа текућег стања и препоруке за унапријеђење // Business Environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Analysis of the Current Situation and Recommendations for Improvement
Authors: Џакула Миро И. , Данон Бојан Ј.
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Лоше економско–социјалне прилике у Босни и Херцеговини: висока стопа незапослености, стагнација БДП-а, слаба покривеност увоза извозом, необрађено пољопривредно земљиште, недостатак домаћих и страних инвестиција, упућују на потребу да се са стручног аспекта одговори на питање: у каквом је стању пословни амбијент у Босни и Херцеговини, што је суштина проблема истраживања у овом раду. Кориштењем метода анализе, дедукције и индукције, а темељено на публикацији Свјетске банке Doing Bussiness, те другим релевантним изворима података, у овом раду је недвосмислено потврђена главна истраживачка хипотеза: Пословни амбијент у БиХ је у лошем стању и спада међу лошије у региону. Такође смо, користећи се идентичним методама као и код главне хипотезе, потврдили и споредну хипотезу: Политички фактор и политичка нестабилност су главне препреке развоју пословног амбијента у БиХ. У посљедњем дијелу рада дате су опште препоруке за унапријеђене економије и пословног амбијент у БиХ.Summary: Poor economic and social situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina; high unemployment rate, stagnation of GDP, week export/import ratio, uncultivated agricultural land, lack of domestic and foreign investments, all is pointing to importance of professional answering to the questionin what condition is business environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is the essence of the research problem in this paper. Using the methods of analysis, deduction and induction, based on World Bank’s publication „Doing Business” and other relevant data sources, this paper has undoubtedly confirmed main research hypothesis: The business environment in BiH is in poor condition and is among the worst in the region. Using the same methods, we have also confirmed supporting hypothesis: The political factor and political instabilityare major obstacles to the development of the business environment in BiH. In the last part of the paper, are given general recommendations for improving the economy and business environment in BiH.
Утицај структуре имовине на структуру капитала // The Impact of the Asset Structure on the Capital Structure
Authors: Пољашевић Јелена
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Структура капитала зависи од великог броја фактора, од којих се структура имовине сматра примарним фактором. У складу са златним билансним правилом, предузећа треба да усагласе рокове везивања средстава и рокове доспијећа обавезе како би ликвидност предузећа била обезбијеђена. У складу са тим дугорочно везана средства треба да се финансирају из дугорочних извора. У оквиру дугорочних извора предузећа треба да донесу одлуку да ли ће средства финансирати из позајмљених или сопствених извора. Бројна истраживања из ове области указују да на извор финансирања утиче поред рока везивања средстава, и њихова материјалност, односно погодност да служе као залога за кредит, али и њихова специфичност. Циљ истраживања у овом рада је показати из којих извора предузећа која котирају на Бањалучкој берзи финансирају своју имовину и да ли се придржавају златног билансног правила.Summary: The capital structure depends on many factors, of which the asset structure is considered to be a primary factor. In accordance with the golden balance rule, companies should harmonize the deadlines of binding assets and deadlines of obligations maturity in order to provide company's liquidity. In accordance with this, long-term bound assets should be financed from long-term sources. Within the longterm sources companies need to decide whether the assets will be financed from borrowed or own sources. Numerous studies in this field indicate that, in addition to deadlines of binding assets, the source of funding is also influenced by their materiality, i.e. their convenience to serve as security for a loan, and by their specifi city. The goal of the research in this paper is to show from which sources the companies listed on the Banja Luka Stock Exchange finance their assets and whether they adhere to the golden balance rule.

Published: December 2018

Резиме: Иако брзина обрта појединих облика имовине није сама себи сврха, основано је устврдити да је она полуга за остваривање врхунског циља предузећа – максимирање добитка у дугом року. Неликвидност је неријетко узрок дужничке кризе која је захватила буџете појединих земаља али и компанија (реалан сектор). У теорији и пракси присутна су различита схватања појма ликвидности, као и његов значај за здрав раст и развој. У раду се указује на разлике у схватањима тог појма и различитих концепата вођења политике ликвидности, методологијама утврђивања ликвидности и солвентности предузећа (привредних друштава). На основу методолошких и теоријских аспеката сагледано је стање ликвидности привреде Републике Српске што може бити од користи носиоцима економске политике Републике.Summary: Although the speed of turnover of certain types of assets is not an end in itself, it can be claimed that it is a lever for achieving top company goals - maximizing profit in the long run. Illiquidity is often the cause of the debt crisis that has engulfed the budgets of certain countries as well as companies (real sector). In theory and practice, there are different understandings of the term liquidity, as well as its importance for the healthy growth and development. The paper points out the differences in the understanding of this term and the different concepts of pursuing liquidity policy, using methodologies of determining the liquidity and solvency of the companies (enterprises). Based on the methodological and theoretical aspects, the liquidity situation of the economy of the Republic of Srpska has been analyzed which can be useful for policymakers of the Republic of Srpska.
Компаративна анализа пореза на потрошњу у земљама бивше Југославије // A comparative analysis of consumption taxes in former Yugoslav countries
Authors: Савић Славен
Published: December 2018

Резиме: У савременим пореским системима порези на потрошњу заузимају значајно место. Посебно је то важно у случају пореза на додату вредност, иако и акцизе у значајној мери доприносе пуњењу државног буџета. Ако се постави одговарајућа законска регулатива ових пореза, а посебно уколико се они правилно примењују, ефекти не могу изостати. Међутим, значај неког пореског облика не може се посматрати искључиво са фискалног аспекта. Једнако важно питање је и њихово учешће у бруто друштвеном производу, као и у личној и финалној потрошњи. Овај рад има за циљ да на основу компаративне анализе пореских система међусобно сличних, а опет различитих земаља, идентификује факторе који су доводили до разлика у динамици кретања одређених пореских категорија у анализираним земљама.Summary: In modern tax systems consumption taxes occupy a significant place. This is particularly important in the case of value added tax, although excise duties approximately equally contribute to filling the country’s budget. If appropriate legislation of these taxes is set, and especially if they are properly implemented, the effects can not be excluded. However, the importance of some form of taxation can not be viewed solely from a fiscal point of view. Equally important is the question of their participation in the gross domestic product, as well as in personal and final consumption. The purpose of this study is to provide comparative analysis of tax systems in several similar, yet different countries, identifying the factors that have led to differences in the dynamics of the movement of certain tax categories in the analyzed countries.
Битна питања код одлучивања о централизовању управљања готовином у мултинационалној компанији // Key questions in making decision about the cash management centralisation in multinational company
Authors: Побрић Нермина Р
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Када разматра доношење одлуке о централизовању управљања готовином, менаџмент мултинационалне компаније мора да одговори на неколико битних питања, а то су: Да ли постоји оправдан разлог за централизовање управљања готовином? Да ли ће централизовање управљања готовином донијети више користи или штете? У којој мјери треба централизовати управљање готовином? Како дизајнирати структуру центра за управљање готовином? Гдје лоцирати центар за управљање готовином? Коју технику за обједињавање салда готовине у кеш центру треба развити? Ако након разматрања прва два питања менаџмент мултинационалне компаније закључи да је централизовање управљања готовином потпуно економски оправдано и одлучи да га примијени, разматрање преостала четири питања ће га довести до реализације донесене одлуке. Аутор ће на основу релевантних теоријских сазнања и резултата емпиријских истраживања понудити генералне одговоре на наведена питања и тако помоћи менаџерима мултинационалних компанија да објективно процијене оправданост и реализују донесену одлуку о централизовању управљања готовином.Summary: When management of a multinational company considers the making decision about the cash management centralisation it has to answer to some key questions such as is there justified reason for cash management centralisation, will cash management centralisation bring more benefits or costs to the multinational company, to which degree cash management need to be centralised, how to design cash management centre structure, where to locate cash management centre, and which cash pooling technique to apply. If management of the multinational company concludes after considering the first two questions that cash management centralisation is fully economic justified and makes the decision to centralize cash management then considering remained four questions will bring it to the implementation of decision that is previously made. Based on relevant theoretical knowledge and results of empirical research author will offer some general answers to quoted questions. In this way she will help to managers of multinational companies to objectively assess whether cash management centralization justified and help to one to implement decision to centralize cash management previously made.
Примјена модела вредновања капиталне активе у функцији одређивања очекиваних приноса предузећа на тржишту капитала Републике Српске // Application of Capital Asset Pricing Model in the function of determination of expected yield of companies in the capital markets Republic of Srpska
Authors: Јањић Драган
Published: December 2018

Резиме: Након што је Хери Маркович (енгл. Harry Markowitz) поставио прве темеље развоја портфолио теорије, Вилиам Шарп (енгл. William Sharpe), Џон Линтнер (енгл. John Lintner) и Јан Мосин (енгл. Jan Mossion) су почетком 60–их година 20. вијека развили модел вредновања капиталне активе (енгл. Capital Asset Pricing Model - САРМ). Први пут га је представио Вилиам Шарп објављивањем рада под називом „Модел вредновања капитала: теорија тржишне равнотеже у условима ризика” (енгл. Capital asset prices: a theory of market equilibrium under conditions of risk), који је 1990. године добио Нобелову награду за економију. Модел вредновања капиталне активе омогућава прецизно предвиђање односа између ризика и приноса одговарајућег финансијског инструмента. На развијеним тржиштима капитала инвеститори га често користе приликом израчунавања очекиване стопе приноса одговарајућег финансијског инструмента. Такође, модел се може користити и у друге сврхе, а све у циљу да инвеститорима олакша доношење важних пословних одлука. Иако модел није емпиријски потврђен и подложан је критикама појединих аутора, његова примјена је широка, искључиво због прецизног одређивања односа између ризика и приноса појединих финансијских инструмената и довољне тачности за многе важне примјене.Summary: When is Harry Markowitz made the frst foundations of the development of portfolio theory, William Shape, John Lintner and Jan Mossion in the early 60s of the 20th century are developed a Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM. The first time it was presented by William Shape, publication work entitled „Capital asset prices: a theory of market equilibrium under conditions of risk”, which in 1990 won the Nobel Prize for economy. Capital Asset Pricing Model allows accurate prediction of the relationship between risk and yield adequate financial instrument. In developed market equity investors often used this model when calculating the expected return of the corresponding financial instrument. Also, the model can also be used for other purposes, and in order to facilitate the investors making important business decisions. Although the model is not empirically verified and it is the subject of critiques by some authors, its use is broad because of precise determination of risk and yield relation in financial instruments and his appropriate accuracy.
Geopolitical Constraints on Development Policies of Small Countries
Authors: Madžar Ljubomir
Published: December 2018

Unlike competitive markets with theoretically infinite number of agents whose decisions merge into a large mass of other agents’ decisions, forming prices as allocation parameters controlled by no one, international arena is characterized by a limited number of discernible subjects whose decisions have system-wide impacts and turn out significant for policies of other agents. Policies pursued by any country concern not only the country in question but influence other countries and oftentimes significantly affect the degree and manner of reaching their policy objectives. Due to the limited number of acting entities the nexus of international interactions has a notable conflict potential. Small countries are in a special situation due to their almost implied modest power implying further a significant number of independent agents whose interests have to be seriously taken into account in framing their own development and many other policies. Policies of various countries come out visibly interdependent so that other agents’ interests and actions uninterruptedly define wide enough set of constraints to be observed in formulating and implementing development policies of the country in question.Particularly important are the large, economically developed and militarily powerful countries. Their aspirations have to be carefully observed and meticulouslystudied by the small and relatively weak countries. There might emerge, and in Serbiancountries almost regularly emerges, a conflict between highly valued nationalgoals deeply rooted in history, popular myths and collective memory, on the onehand, and interests of the big powerful international players on the other. These aresettings in which baleful strategic mistakes are occasionally made and in Serbianhistory the frequency of such mistakes was rather pronounced. There has been farabove the optimum courage in Serbian history conspicuously exercised by both elitesand popular masses. The consequences of such “determinations for the kingdom ofheavens” are perilous and mistakes are dearly paid in terms of hundreds of thousandsof lost lives and wasted chances for economic and general social development.The paper ends with recommendation that the small countries endeavor to carefullyfit into interests and policies of great powers, invest equally large efforts into choosingthe right allies and adjust pragmatically to their aspirations and, as the casemight be, even to their orders. No matter how strange it may sound, bending flexiblyto the interests of the mighty may be the optimal strategy of pursuing the genuinenational objectives. For, no matter how elevated and majestic they are, they dwindleto little value if they are blocked in the process of realization and the high-mindedefforts invested in their realization get ultimately frustrated.
