Pored dominantno zastupljene industrijske proizvodnje, prisutna je u manjoj meri poljoprivredna proizvodnja, zatim saobraćajne usluge i turizam kao tradicionalna delatnost opštine, grañevinarstvo, trgovina i druge uslužne delatnosti. Meñutim, negativan prirodni priraštaj, pad stope fertiliteta, migracioni procesi, nepovoljna starosna struktura aktivnog stanovništva odnosno deficitarnost mladih generacija potrebnih za obnavljanje radnog kontigenta stanovništva jasno ukazuju da odreñeni aspekti radne snage u narednom periodu mogu predstavljati jedan od problema i jedno od značajnih ograničenja u razvoju opštine. Težište razvoja opštine Vrnjačke Banje u narednom periodu neophodno je staviti u funkciju rešavanja ovih problema. Ključne reči: demografska statistika, stanovništvo, natalitet, mortalitet,prirodni priraštaj. Summary: The municipality of Vrnjacka Banja, in economic terms, is one of the relatively developed municipalities in the country. The manufacturing industry is dominant. There are also, but in a less degree, the agricultural production, the transportation services, the tourist industry as Vrnjacka Banja's traditional activity, the construction industry, the trading activities, etc. There are some elements indicating that certain labour force aspects can be problematic in the next period and can limit the municipality development.These indicators are: the negative population growth , decline of the fertility rate, the migration processes, an adverse age structure of the active pupulation, i.e deficiency of the young generations needed for labour force regeneration etc. It is necessary to put a focus of Vrnjacka Banja's development for the incoming period, into the function of these problems solving.

Applicability of both methods was tested by empirical research on the example of the index Belexline from 01. 03. to 31. 03. 2009. year. Applicability has been tested by the daily VaR estimates obtained by parametric and nonparametric methods we compared with the actual yield changes in general stock index BELEXline. Model HS-255 has been developed for the assessment VaR.

Although, literature is available on the impact of these factors on the quality of food packaging, there are very few papers examining the impact of the flexo printing process on food packaging materials. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine if there are any changes occurring in tensile strength, elongation before tearing and gas permeability after the flexographic printing process regarding the selected flexible packaging materials-oriented polypropylene (OPP) and coated paper/polyethylene (PAP/PE). The measurement of tensile strength and elongation before tearing was carried out according to SRPS G.S2.734, and the measurement of gas permeability according to Lussy Method-DIN 53380. The results presented in this paper show that the tensile strength and elongation in both foil samples increased after the printing process (a higher increase of strength is determined in the PAP/PE foil). The exception is the PAP/PE sample, where increased permeability of N2 was observed. The reason for such results could be due to different surface characteristics of the tested materials since the process of ink absorption is different. Surface tension tests were conducted by applying measurements of the contact angle. The results show that the process of flexo printing did not change the functional properties of the packaging.

Da su istorijske okolnosti bile drugaĉije nesumljivo je da bi, sa stanovišta turistiĉke traţnje i resursne osnove, naša zemlja našla mesto meĊu najatraktivnijim zemljama Evrope. Smatra se da Srbija raspolaţe znaĉajnim prirodnim potencijalnom za razvoj turizma, kao i da je primena koncepta odrţivog razvoja vaţna za budući razvoj turizma. Jedan od prirodnih potencijala Srbije predstavljaju termomineralni izvori koji ipak nisu na pravi naĉin turistiĉki valorizovani i iskorišćeni. Kljuĉne reĉi: odrţivi razvoj, banjski turizam, broj turista, turistiĉki promet. Summary: All the relevant indicators of the past tourism development, like in many other countries, indicate that serbian tourism represents a lost opportunity. If historical circumstances had been somewhat different, our country would certainly have found its place among the most attractive European countries, regarding tourist demand and resources base. It is believed that Serbia has significant natural potential for tourism development, and that use of the sustainable development concept is very important for future tourism development. One of the Serbian natural potentials are the thermal mineral springs, althought they are not tourist valorized and utilized in a proper way.

The research was conducted for the period from 2015 to 2020 on a sample of 23 hotels. The chosen length of the observation period covers a sufficient time interval to cover all heterogeneities in the structure of the observation units, as well as their changes over time, using the dynamic panel analysis model. The adequate sample size was determined by considering the size of the population, the desired level of confidence, and the value of the allowable sampling error. The results of the research have shown that determinants such as business success from the previous period, efficiency of use of total business assets, belonging to a hotel chain, size and increasing hotel concentration index have a positive impact on success in hotel industry. On the other hand, determinants such as hotel indebtedness, operating leverage and hotel age have a negative impact on business su...

According to the author's knowledge, no one in Serbia has studied the effects of IC on financial institutions operating in the financial sector. This sector is extremely important for the Serbian economy since it is the leading sector in which the effects of modern information technologies are the most exploited and in which competitiveness is pursued by attracting new clients, by offering innovative solutions and services. Hence, the aim of this paper is to identify and analyze the IC's impact on financial performance in order to answer whether the impact of IC on the financial performance of financial institutions operating in developing markets has the same importance as the impact on financial institutions operating on developed markets, characterized by a high degree of innovation and I...

The research was conducted on the example of seven banks for the period from 2006 to 2019, using panel data analysis. Parameter estimates were obtained using three different estimators, Pooled OLS, fixed effects method, and random effects method. The research results show that two dimensions of CSR have a statistically significant impact on the financial performance of banks; environmental responsibility has a positive influence on the business results expressed through ROA, while respect for the basic principles of business and the success of the bank's business has a negative influence.

The research was conducted on the sample of 22 transport companies, applying the Granger model of causality. The research covers the period from 2006 to 2020. The primary goal of the paper is to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the costs that companies sacrifice in (re)designing the organizational structure and their competitiveness, which is in the paper expressed by the market share. The findings indicate that there is bidirectional (or feedback) causality.

The problem is observed from singular values and fundamental matrix point of view. Although, there are some papers covering practical stability problems for time delay systems with delay in state, it was observed lack of exploring it, by comparing different approaches such as matrix measure, singular values and parameter solution. It is applied Padé approximation for eliminating time delay from the system of second order, and it is shown program support for solving general problem for time delay systems with delay in state. After presented theorems for both approaches, it is shown the numerical example. The desired stability time interval is obtained by using singular values point of view, and after that system is analyzed by using matrix measure. The given result matched the desired interval, and program support for general solution is developed by using Maple programming language.
