Tóm tắt—Các kiểm tra liên quan đến so khớp mẫu chồng lấp đã được đề xuất trong NIST SP 800-22 [1], tuy nhiên các xác suất trong các kiểm tra này chỉ đúng cho các mẫu đặc biệt và cần được tính lại cho các mẫu khác. Trong [2], các tác giả đã đề xuất các tiêu chuẩn thống kê so khớp mẫu mới cho tất cả các mẫu 4 bit. Các kiểm tra mới này áp dụng cho chuỗi bất kỳ có độ dài tối thiểu là 5504 bit, trong khi theo NIST độ dài tối thiểu 106 bit. Trong bài báo này, chúng tôi đã cải tiến và đề xuất các kiểm tra so khớp mẫu 4 bit mới mà có thể áp dụng cho các chuỗi bất kỳ có độ dài nhỏ nhất chỉ là 3726 bit. Hơn nữa, chúng tôi đưa ra 3 kiểm tra thống kê so khớp mẫu 5 bit mới. Kết quả lý thuyết và thực hành cho thấy các đề xuất cải tiến của chúng tôi là rất hiệu quả trong việc đánh giá tính ngẫu nhiên cho các bộ tạo số giả ngẫu nhiên.
Abstract—Randomness tests related to overlapping template matching have been proposed in NIST SP 800-22 [1], however the probabilities in these tests are only valid for specific samples and should be recalculated for other samples. In [2], the authors proposed new template matching tests for all 4-bit templates. The new tests can be applied to any sequence of minimum length of 5504 bits whereas the overlapping template matching test in the NIST test suite can only be applied to sequences of minimum length of 106 bits. In this paper, we have modified and proposed new 4-bit template matching tests that can be applied to any sequence of minimum length 3726 bits. Furthermore, we proposed three new 5-bit template matching tests. Our theoretical and practical results show that our new proposed tests are very efficient in psedorandom number generator testing.
Using stable isotopes and major ions to identify recharge characteristics of the Alpine groundwater-flow dominated Triglavska Bistrica River
Authors: SERIANZ Luka , CERAR Sonja , VREČA Polona
Published: December 2021

Triglavska Bistrica is a typical Alpine river in the north-western part of Slovenia. Its recharge area includes some of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps. The hydrogeological conditions and flow of the river depend largely on groundwater exchange between the karstified aquifer in the carbonate rocks and the intergranular aquifer in the glaciofluvial deposits. The average volume of the river flow is up to several m3/s. In this study, water samples from different locations along the river were analysed for stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen, major ions, and concentration of tritium activity. The correlation of major ions suggests that the recharge area consists of both limestone and dolomite rocks. The δ18O and δ2H values decrease downstream, implying that the average recharge elevation increases. At the downstream sampling site V-5, located approx. 300 m upstream from the confluence of the Sava Dolinka River, the calculated mean recharge altitude is estimated to be 1,996 m.
The Sistiana Fault and the Sistiana Bending Zone (SW Slovenia)
Authors: PLACER Ladislav , JAMŠEK RUPNIK Petra , CELARC Bogomir
Published: December 2021

The Sistiana Fault is an alleged disjunctive deformation of Microadria in the sea bottom of the Gulf of Trieste. Onshore, it is visible only in the Sistiana Bay, but towards the northeast it soon pinches-out, in structural-geometric terms it diminishes soon after the crossing of the thrust boundary of the Dinarides, or the Istrian-Friuli Underthrustig Zone, respectively. Further to the northeast, only the bending zone is developed in the External Dinarides, which stretches all the way from the Sistiana Bay to the Idrija-Žiri area. We named it the Sistiana Bending Zone. Its direction can be determined based on geological maps and is around 60°, so we conclude that the Sistiana Fault should extend approximately in this direction. In the bending zone, the Trieste-Komen Anticlinorium, the Vipava Synclinorium, the Trnovo Nappe opposite to the Hrušica Nappe and the Raša and Idrija Faults are laterally bent. The size of the bend is the largest in the Sistiana Bay, and in the east-northeast direction it decreases linearly. The general geological circumstances suggest that the Sistiana Fault has not been recently active.

Published: December 2021

En la Isla Puná, provincia de Guayas, la actividad camaronera ha venido desarrollándose desde la década de los 80’s, con cultivos de tipo extensivos. En los últimos años, esta industria se ha ampliado a considerables superficies, dejando como secuela la pérdida de grandes extensiones de bosques de manglar, pasando por alto la importancia ecológica que tienen dichos bosques. En este contexto, en la presente investigación se busca determinar el cambio de uso del suelo y su cuantificación, mediante la recolección, procesamiento y clasificación, por el método supervisado de imágenes satelitales en cuatro periodos de tiempo utilizando los algoritmos de máxima verosimilitud y máxima secuencialidad a posteriori. Para verificar la fiabilidad de los datos obtenidos se elaboró una matriz de confusión y, con ello, se obtuvo el estadístico Kappa. Los resultados demostraron que la producción camaronera incrementó su superficie de 6 819,30 ha, en 1985, a 13 832,01 ha en 2016, una dinámica que ha generado pérdida de los bosques de manglar, los cuales disminuyeron de 10 931,31 ha, en 1985, a 5 282,82 ha en 2016. Esto representó la pérdida neta de superficies manglar de 5 648,49 ha y la ganancia neta de la actividad camaronera de 7 012,71 ha.

Authors: Catelan Davi Winder , Cunha Marina Silva da
Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é verificar os efeitos imediatos da crise econômica brasileira sobre o nível de ocupação de diferentes grupos de trabalhadores para o Brasil e as unidades federativas e identificar os fatores explicativos das diferenças dos grupos no ajuste ocupacional. Para tanto, é aplicada a decomposição de Shapley, utilizando os microdados da PNADC para o período 2012–2017. Em função da crise econômica, os grupos de homens, menos escolarizados, adultos e não brancos sofreram as maiores perdas relativas de ocupação em relação aos grupos de mulheres, mais escolarizados, jovens e não brancos. As maiores reduções nas ocupações dos trabalhadores homens e adultos foram explicadas, sobretudo, pelos altos níveis de emprego pré-crise desses indivíduos e, no caso dos homens, por sua maior representatividade na indústria. Já os menos escolarizados e os não brancos foram, comparativamente, mais afetados devido à redução mais expressiva no nível de ocupação setorial desses trabalhadores.

Resultados electorales y el contexto socioeconómico: un análisis de las elecciones seccionales en el Ecuador 2009-2014
Authors: Castillo José Gabriel , Granda María Francisca
Published: December 2021

Mediante el uso de datos de panel de las elecciones seccionales del 2009 y del 2014 e información censal del 2001 y 2010-2011, este estudio indaga sobre qué factores socioeconómicos in!uyeron en los resultados electorales a nivel de cantón: participación electoral, determinación del voto y cambios de tendencia a nivel cantonal. Encontramos evidencia que sugiere que las tasas de asistencia educativas a nivel cantonal son un factor determinante en el comportamiento electoral; que grupos poblacionales como los indígenas y afro-ecuatorianos se distinguen en su comportamiento electoral, y que variables atribuibles a la gestión local como el nivel de alcantarillado influyen en la probabilidad de que un cantón reelija o no a su autoridad (alcalde) vigente.

Authors: Gawron Jakub , Marchwicka Monika
Published: December 2021

Color changes of ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior L.) caused by thermal modification in air and steam. Ash wood samples of 20x20x30 mm were subjected to thermal modification in different conditions. The thermal modification was conducted in air at 190 °C and in steam at 160 °C. For both environments modification lasted 2, 6 and 10 hours. Samples color parameters were measured before and after thermal modification on the basis of the mathematical CIELab color space model. Changes in all parameters (L, a and b) were observed, the highest in lightness (L) - darker color. The total color difference (ΔE) and chromaticity change (ΔC) were calculated for all samples. The highest value of ΔE was obtained for wood modified in the air at 190 °C for 10 h. The highest value of ΔC was obtained for wood modified in steam at 160 °C for 10 h. However, the value obtained for wood modified in the air at 190 °C for 10 h were only slightly lower.

Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 is one of the most economically valuable insects which plays significant role in human medicine, nutrition and crop pollination. The morphometric variations of honeybee from different locations of the southern guinea and northern guinea savannah ecological zone of Nigeria were studied. Fifteen morphological traits were measured for variation on six hundred (600) worker honeybee samples purposively collected from ten different locations within the ecological zone. Data collected were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), SNK test (α=0.05) and Pearson correlation between morphometric characters were determined. At the same time a dendrogram of morphological proximity based on the fifteen morphological features was constructed. Results showed that morphometry variation (p<0.05) existed within the honeybee population in the guinea savannah agro-ecological zone of Nigeria, high morphological similarities were observed in the tibia length of the hind leg and the thorax length. The honeybee samples were classified into two distinct morphoclusters (A and B). Honeybee samples within morphocluster A were closely related in terms of the examined morphometric features and geographic distance (CV=1.65). In contrast, within cluster B, honeybee samples were closely related despite the vast geographical distance (CV=3.30, p<0.05). The body length was significantly positively correlated with the leg size, while hind wing length was positively associated with the proboscis, abdominal, thoracic, body length and hooks. Morphometric variations found in A. mellifera of guinea agro-ecological zone could significantly impact conservation and future bee breeding programmes of Nigeria.

Authors: Milankov Vesela , Anđić Ivana , Vrućinić Jelena , Simić Ljiljana , Stelkić Milica
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Writing is the most complex human ability and the most direct form of communication. Auditory discrimination is the ability to distinguish different sounds of language. After the age of seven, difficulties in auditory discrimination, even of similar sounds, are considered a pathological phenomenon. The aim of the research was to determine whether difficulties in auditory discrimination of phonemes are related to the manifestation of dysgraphia in children of younger school age. Methods. The research was conducted at the Elementary School "Vuk Karadzić" in Priboj, during 2020, with the previous consent of the school principal, as well as the students' parents. The research sample included fifty children of the third and fourth grade, aged 9 and 10. For the purpose of this research, two tests were used: the Phonemic Discrimination Test (Kostić, Vladisavljević, Popović, 1983) and the Dysgraphic Handwriting Assessment Test (Ajuriaguerra, Auzias. 1971). Results. There was no significant difference in achievement in the Phonemic Discrimination Test between boys and girls. Half of the tested students achieved the maximum score in the Phonemic Discrimination Test and they were fairly equal in their achievement in the Phonemic Discrimination Test. Girls generally had harmoniously developed handwriting, while more than half of the boys in the categories had inconsistent handwriting or dysgraphic handwriting when it came to the forms of dictation, free topic and transcription. No statistically significant correlations were found between the results in the Phonemic Discrimination Test and the Dysgraphic Handwriting Assessment Test, p > 0.05. Conclusion. Based on the assessment of writing ability and auditory discrimination in young school children, no statistically significant association was found between auditory discrimination of sounds and manifestations of dysgraphic handwriting in all three forms of written expression (dictation, free topic, transcription).

Authors: Popescu Lavinia , Sorinela Safta
Published: December 2021

This paper investigates in the foreground the state of agricultural systems in interdependence with climate change, a condition synec vanon of decarbonization of agriculture. The relationship between ecologically responsible agricultural systems places the innovative design of agricultural processes as the first factor in achieving the success of environmental responsibilities in addressing any agricultural processes customized to the area through the symbiosis between production in order to protect the biosphere. Thus, the constraints of reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers in agriculture have gained new value at the same time as the interest of producers to gradually comply with the new more sustainable environmental requirements by optimizing synergies in the vision of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The paper also identifies the risks of degradation of natural resources as an effect of environmental change, such as phosphorus, a much-needed element in agriculture, a declining global resource. From the empirical analysis of the analyzed sources we followed on the basis of statistical data a calibration of the risk trends generated by the impact of the adaptability of agriculture to environmental requirements, in achieving an agriculture designed for sustainability.
The role and significance of gastronomic tourism for rural areas of the municipality of Apatin
Authors: Zečević-Stanojević Olgica , Vujko Aleksandra , Zečević Leposava
Published: December 2021

The paper starts with the initial hypothesis that traditional, i.e. local food served in local restaurants (chardas) is the basis for the development of rural areas. By setting certain sub-hypotheses, we highlight the primary purpose of the paper, and thus we show that traditional food has the "strength" to change and improve rural areas. We based the research on a changed questionnaire previously used for research in the Black Sea resorts of Romania. The questionnaire comprises of 9 attributes, and we asked respondents to rank certain attributes on a three-point scale. The research was conducted among visitors who came from eight countries, including Serbia, to get the most relevant data through statistical processing, which will serve to assess the current, but also to predict the future state and development of gastronomic tourism.

Authors: Pantić Nemanja , Cvijanović Drago , Imamović Nedžad
Published: December 2021

The subject of this research is the analysis of supply and demand of raspberries on the domestic market in order to performe a balance analysis of products and examine the partial influence of relevant factors on supply and demand. The production and consumption of raspberries in Serbia in the period from 2010-2019 is very dynamic. Raspberry production in the Republic of Serbia has significant comparative advantages compared to production in most other countries. Serbia is considered one of the largest producers of raspberries, but still, regardless of that, its comparative advantages have not been fully valorized and used. The results of the balance analysis of raspberry production and consumption indicate the existence of a surplus and potential for export. The analysis of ANOVA variances established a high correlation dependence and pointed out the need to improve competitiveness in the production of raspberries and final products in order to meet the domestic market and exports to the world market. The obtained results enabled the formulation of regression equations of both the function of raspberry supply and its demand, which can be used to predict these values in the future.

A key place in economic theory belongs to learning about the position of immediate creators, i.e. producers of goods in every socio-economic formation. This position and all relations in production and society depend significantly on the historical form of production of excess work and the way of appropriating excess work. Therefore, for analysis of the modern way of commodity agroproduction, it is necessary to dispose of information that is the basis for decision-making at the strategic level. This type of information is characterized by the accounting information system as one of the main sources of business information. For the subject of this work, we will take the modern way of agroproduction and creation of excess value, which in recent times, especially after the global economic crisis, is gaining increasing significance in both economic theory and economic reality.
Protection of suppliers of agricultural and food products from unfair trading practice
Authors: Mićović Andrej
Published: December 2021

The paper analyses unfair trading practices that arise as a result of imbalance in bargaining power between suppliers and buyers of agricultural and food products. Considering that unfair practices also exist in the relations established between consumers and traders, that special rules have been adopted in this regard, the peculiarities and differences that exist between these rules were first pointed out, i.e., in terms of the approach to regulating these practices. Furthermore, the classification of unfair trade practices as absolutely and relatively prohibited was performed, and, finally, the rules on the way in which suppliers are protected from unfair practices were set out. Basically, the method of protection (administrative protection, at the initiative of the competent authorities or at the request of relevant organizations and associations) justifies the adoption of special rules that establish an effective system of protection of suppliers from unfair trading practices.

Wine production in the Republic of Serbia has a long tradition and potential for improvement, given the agro-climatic and other conditions. The aim of this paper is to analyze the competitiveness factors of wineries in the Republic of Serbia. The findings show that the wine industry is developing, but its' competitiveness is at a relatively low level. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of the wine sector, it is necessary to define and implement a strategy, which will include activities such as modernization of grape processing technology, new investments and investment in human resources, marketing, winemakers' association and creating a stimulating business climate. Without state support, a significant increase in the competitiveness of wineries cannot be expected. Since interest in wine production has been recently growing, it is to be expected that the wine production, as well as its' export will increase, thus achieving significantly greater economic effects.
Distribution of agricultural lands and land ownership in Russia
Authors: Ryazantsev Ivan , Ivolga Anna
Published: December 2021

Among the countries of the world, Russia is one of the richest in agricultural land. However, a quantitative advantage is poorly transformed into a qualitative one. As a result, there has been a gradual decrease in productive land, a decline in crop yields, the use of highly productive lands as less valuable land categories, and land degradation. These negative processes cause severe damage to both the agricultural sector and the country's economy as a whole. One of the reasons for such drawbacks is the underdevelopment of land use processes and forms of land ownership, which discourage land productivity growth and rational use of agricultural lands. In this paper, the authors analyze the most critical challenges in the sphere of agricultural land distribution in Russia and suggest ways to improve the efficiency of land ownership and land use patterns.

Authors: Mirkov Željko
Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the measures for the preparation and planning of the hearing of the defendant, taken by representatives of the police or prosecutor's office. In the introduction, the author provides general observations on the hearing of the defendant and his testimony in the criminal procedure. The paper then proceeds to outline the views of theoreticians regarding the significance of the preparation and planning of the defendant's hearing, as well as specific measures that need to be taken when carrying out this activity. These measures consist of the following: 1) determining the person who will conduct the hearing; 2) determining the location and time of the hearing; 3) analysis of the situation in the case files before the first hearing and identification of all facts and circumstances concerning the criminal offence; 4) obtaining information on the defendant's personality, and 5) preparation of the hearing strategy. The author considers these measures necessary assumptions for obtaining not only a lawful testimony - in line with the provisions of the law on criminal procedure, but also a complete testimony, which is able to shed light on the facts surrounding the criminal offence.

A comparative law review of the expenses of civil proceedings as the subject of legal protection insurance in German and Croatian law
Authors: Belanić Loris , Nakić Jakob
Published: December 2021

Costs of civil proceedings may constitute a significant financial burden for the parties in exercising their rights. Ensuring redress enables transferring this burden "to the back" of the insurer and thus facilitating the parties' conduct of civil proceedings in financial terms, which is also of influence on the possibility of exercising their rights. Providing redress covers only those legal costs that are necessary (necessary) to achieve protection of the legal interests of the insured. At the same time, the insurer reimburses legal expenses in accordance with the provisions of the procedural laws on the duty to compensate the costs of proceedings and regulations determining the amount and content of individual legal costs. The paper deals with the presentation and analysis of the coverage of legal sums in German law. Then, along with the model of the analysed coverage under German law, the coverage of the costs of redress in Croatian law is presented, while processing elements of legal costs (certain legal acts prescribed to pay appropriate fees, as well as the amount of such fees) which the legal protection insurers should take into account when forming the cover of the OP. Finally, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union relating to ensuring redress is presented.
Expanding the scope of claims falling under the one-year Statute of limitations
Authors: Pilipović Dejan
Published: December 2021

This paper analyses the possibility of an analogous application of Art. 378 of the Law of Contract and Torts (LCT) to other similar (identical) claims. The aim of the research is to try to answer the central question of whether it is necessary to update the provisions of the LCT regarding the one-year Statute of limitations in accordance with modern trends in terms of the scope of claims that should become Statute-barred within this period. In order to answer this question, scientific research methods, that is, techniques are used, such as the dogmatic-normative, historical-legal, and comparative-legal one, content analysis and a questionnaire. This apparatus is used within the study of legislation, case law and legal literature, as well as in empirical research. Knowing the scope of claims that become Statute-barred in a year is not only important for theoretical analysis, but is also of practical importance for court actions , as well as for consumers.

Kula Belgrade is the tallest building within Belgrade Waterfront project, located at the right bank of the Sava river. It is envisaged as the future landmark of Belgrade and pivotal point of Belgrade Waterfront development. It consists of 168m high - 42 storey tower, podium and eccentric basement. It is one of the rare towers in the world in which the bottom and the top parts are mutually rotated by 90° in plan and where such transition is achieved through 7 floors. Such configuration imposed significant demands to structure. The paper addresses design of structure, which has been divided in two stages - piles and structure above the piles. Former was provided by SOM company from Chicago, USA; latter by AECOM company from UAE, both as per American International Building Code. DNEC company from Belgrade was a member of Joint Venture of local companies in charge for nostrification of design and permitting process. Check of design was conducted per Eurocodes. During the construction stage, DNEC was in role of Engineer but was also actively involved in structural value engineering process in which the composite structural members (reinforced concrete with embedded steel) of transition zone were converted to reinforced concrete or post-tensioned members. Link beams of main core that comprised embedded steel plates were redesigned as RC beams, but due to the openings in web their adequacy was checked by non-linear analysis in Abaqus software.
FADS1 genetic variant rs174547 as a molecular-genetic biomarker for CVD risk: A study from Bulgaria

Published: December 2021

The input of molecular genetic biomarkers allows individual assessment of metabolic pathways and the behaviour of the major enzymes responsible for nutrient conversion. This in turn enriches the nutrigenetic information fund, and the panels of well-studied gene variants and their interaction with nutrients can be used to create precise personalized diets. Our objective was to determine the significance of the rs174547 genetic variant in the fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene in the metabolism of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids ingested with food and to identify the potential of FADS1 rs174547 as a molecular genetic marker to be included in a panel of nutrigenetic studies in order to prepare a personalized diet plan. A total of 123 volunteers (43 men and 80 women) from Bulgaria, aged 28 to 65 years, were tested for rs174547 in the FADS1 gene. A DNA sample was taken from each volunteer by a non-invasive method (buccal swabs), and the genetic variant of each individual was determined by molecular genetic approaches. Their general health was assessed by taking anthropometric and body impedance measurements data and completing a lifestyle survey. The lipid profile included testing for triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar. Information on the total food intake was collected through questionnaire methods. The results of the statistical tests show that there is a statistically significant difference between the two genotypes only in HDL cholesterol levels (P = 0.044, at P < 0.05) - carriers of the C/T genotype have lower mean concentration values of HDL-cholesterol (1.27 mmol/l) than for T/T variant carriers (1.48 mmol/l). Among men, there were statistically significant differences in mean levels of total cholesterol (P = 0.012) and HDL cholesterol (P = 0.008) between the two genotypes. Among women, there was a statistically significant difference between the two genotypes only in terms of mean triglyceride levels (P = 0.007). The differences in the other studied indicators do not satisfy the criterion for significance (P < 0.05). The results suggest an effect of the intake of SFA (saturated fatty acids) and MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) on the relationship between rs174547 polymorphism and plasma lipids (total and LDL-cholesterol) only in men. Studies of the Bulgarian population prove extremely low intake of omega-3 fatty acids due to low consumption of fish. These findings and the lack of data for Bulgaria on genetic variants of FADS1 are a prerequisite for conducting in-depth studies of both risk groups, such as patients with cardiovascular disease, dyslipidaemia or nutritional deficiency of LC-PUFAs, and in healthy people.
