    In order to meet the requirements of more and more finicky customers, both on the domestic and foreign markets, the strengthening of the domestic economy competitiveness, imposes, besides all, the need for programs that will improve agricultural and rural development. Accordingly, it was done the software application for development of business plan in any field of agricultural production and rural economy. In this research, focus was turned on the economic efficiency of investments made in crop production. Specifically, the effects of the investment in agricultural land and mechanization for crop production were assessed. It was done by static and dynamic methods, as well as methods for investments assessment under uncertainty. In all three cases, the assessment of the project effects (including or excluding the time factor) indicates the justified investments

    As an important production factor and an element of the fixed capital, mechanization has significant role in the process of agricultural production. Its importance has both technical and socio-economic character, as the tractors and other agricultural machinery had radically changed rural life as well as the way of land cultivation – they increased labour productivity in agricultural production and decreased the operating costs. In the preparation period for integration of our country into the European countries' family, technical equipping of agriculture has reflected the basic component important for functionality of the new agrarian structures. Replacement of depreciated mechanization and provision of enough high-performance tractors as well as other modern agricultural machinery necessary for the farms (both in direct way or in an indirect one – through different forms of financing, cooperation and mutual support), represent determinants for undisturbed and in-time implementation of agricultural in-field operations as well as other activities in crop and livestock production. In this paper the authors try to display the basic economic aspects of agricultural mechanization utilization in Serbia as well as to compare existing situation with the similar one in neighbouring countries (area of ex-SFRJ), then with the Central and Eastern Europe countries (CEE) and finally with some EU countries (EU-15). In addition to that, this analysis includes the basic characteristics of agrarian policy aiming at agricultural mechanization recovery and improvement in Serbia, as well as the support of this policy (supporting financial resources for recovery of agricultural equipment and mechanization as well as for rural improvement).Kao važan proizvodni faktor i element fiksnog kapitala, mehanizacija ima značajnu ulogu u procesu poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Njen značaj ima kako tehnički, tako i društveno-ekonomski karakter, budući da su traktori i poljoprivredne mašine radikalno izmenile život na selu i način obrade zemljišta - povećale su produktivnost rada u poljoprivrednoj proizvodnji i smanjile troškove eksploatacije. U pripremnom periodu za integraciju naše zemlje u porodicu evropskih zemalja, tehnička opremljenost poljoprivrede reflektuje osnovnu komponentu od koje zavisi funkcionalnost novih agrarnih struktura. Zamena dotrajale mehanizacije i obezbeđenje dovoljnog broja visoko-performansnih traktora i ostalih savremenih poljoprivrednih mašina za potrebe poljoprivrednih gazdinstava (bilo direktno, bilo indirektno – kroz različite forme finansiranja, kooperacije i uzajamne pomoći), jeste determinanta za nesmetano i blagovremeno obavljanje kako poljskih, tako i ostalih radova koji prate aktivnosti u biljnoj i stočarskoj proizvodnji. U ovom radu autori nastoje da prikažu osnovne ekonomske aspekte korišćenja mehanizacije u poljoprivredi Srbije i da izvrše komparaciju sa stanjem koje u tom domenu vlada u susednim zemljama (područje bivše SFRJ), zatim u zemljama Centralne i Istočne Evrope (CIE) i najzad u jednom broju zemalja Evropske unije (EU-15). Pored toga, analizom su obuhvaćene i osnovne postavke politike obnove i unapređenja poljoprivredne tehnike u Srbiji, bazirane na merama i podsticajnim sredstvima domaće agrarne politike (podsticajna sredstva za obnovu poljoprivredne opreme i mehanizacije i podsticajna sredstva za unapređenje sela)

    Agriculture, as one of the fundamental branches of national economy, as creator of GDP and user of scientific and technical progress, represents both for the South Banat County and for Serbia as a whole the traditional and important economic activity that operates in appropriate natural conditions much more convenient than it is situation in the most countries situated in the same part of Europe. In the process of reforms as well as preparation of our country for accession to European Union (EU), implementation of the goals given in the national program for economic revitalization as well as higher respecting of the market economy postulates are caused, to a great extent, by realization of higher degree efficiency as well as profitability of production and productive factors. Appropriate and in time application of mechanization has particular importance in realization of adequate measures for increase of agricultural production intensity. It usually refers to the need of adequate agro-technical measures realization as well as to the need of fulfilling optimal deadlines. In accordance with that, the endeavors of farms are directed to purchase of modern mechanization as well as its better utilization, i.e. onto the modern technological procedures. The topic of this paper is determination of organization and economic conditions for optimal agricultural mechanization utilization, which mostly depends on level of the mechanization equipping at the farm, than on the average tractor power, degree of the tractor capacity utilization, way of composition of machines’ set, functional maintenance of technical facilities as well as the total organization process of those activities aiming at an efficiency increase of the newly bought machines compared to the existing machinery and tractor stock of equipment.Poljoprivreda, kao jedna od baznih grana nacionalne ekonomije, stvaralac bruto domaćeg proizvoda (BDP) i korisnik naučno-tehničkog progresa, predstavlja kako za Južnobanatski okrug, tako i za Srbiju u celini tradicionalnu i značajnu ekonomsku delatnost, koja se odvija u prirodno odgovarajućim uslovima, povoljnijim nego u većini zemalja ovog dela Evrope. U procesu reformi i pripremanja naše zemlje za pristupanje Evropskoj uniji (EU), realizacija ciljeva nacionalnog programa za ekonomski oporavak i veće respektovanje postulata tržišne ekonomije jesu, u velikoj meri, uslovljeni ostvarivanjem višeg stepena efektivnosti i rentabilnosti proizvodnje i proizvodnih faktora. Celishodna i blagovremena primena mehanizacije ima poseban značaj u sprovođenju adekvatnih mera za povećanje intenziteta poljoprivredne proizvodnje. To se po pravilu odnosi kako na potrebu izvršenja određenih agrotehničkih mera, tako i na potrebu da se ove aktivnosti realizuju u određenim optimalnim rokovima. Shodno tome, napori poljoprivrednih gazdinstava su usmereni na kupovinu savremene mehanizacije i njeno što bolje korišćenje, tj. na savremene tehnološke postupke. Predmet ovog rada je određivanje organizaciono-ekonomskih uslova za optimalnu upotrebu poljoprivredne mehanizacije, što u najvećoj meri zavisi od nivoa opremljenosti gazdinstva mehanizaciijom, prosečne snage traktora, stepena iskorišćenja kapaciteta traktora, načina sastavljanja mašinskog agregata, funkcionalnog održavanja tehnike i ukupnog procesa organizacije onih aktivnosti koje imaju za cilj povećanje efektivnosti novokupljenih mašina u odnosu na postojeći mašinsko-traktorski park

    Since 2004., Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Waterpower engineering of Republic of Serbia has been set in motion row of measures for village development and improvement and for promoting activities in rural areas. Still, characteristic of government support for 2006. is that amount of financial incentives depends of region which investment projects are related to. Returnees means of payment are imparted in higher percent to municipalities on which territory existed some natural and law obstruction for developing intensive agricultural production on large areas. In regard to, that development of rural communities is integral part of whole economic progress in EU countries, and that we see Serbia as member of EU in near future , it is suggested as vital factor of our country development too. In this paper work, some measures of support to investments in marginal and other areas of Serbia are shown. Their aim is realization of projects, like as: production and sale improvement; renewal and strenghtening of village infrastructure; development and promotion of rural areas, environment and country side protection; development and promotion of organic production. Besides, it is pointing to persons who have right to ask for returnless means, how to compete for them and what is the required documentation for their wining

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
