In this paper we pay special attentionto antitrust authority as the main regulatory bodywhose main task is to maintain healthy competition -structures in BiH. Given that the Competition Councilof Bosnia and Herzegovina was established relativelylate, compared to the surrounding countries, thelogical question is whether the antitrust body BiH wasable to monitor all the activities and events in theregion, the EU, and the world. It is a known fact thatone of the main conditions for EU accession isexistence of effective and fully operational regulatorybody in the field of competition. To what extent haveCompetition Council and Bosnia and Herzegovinacontributed to the fulfillment of this condition imposedby the EU? What are the previous results of theCompetition Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina? Wewill try to provide the answers to these questions inthis paper. The first part is based on introducing antimonopolybodies in BiH, as well as its basic tasks androles. The second part relates to the definition of theCompetition Act which is in force in Bosnia andHerzegovina, while the third part is devoted toanalysis of the business of the Competition Council inBiH. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to point out thesignificance of the existence and application of theCompetition Act, and the Competition Council, whichare, in the opinion of relevant experts, the key toimproving competition in the and Bosnia andHerzegovina.

The springboard for this essay is the author’s encounter with the feeling of horror and her attempts to understand what place horror has in philosophy. The inquiry relies upon Leonid Lipavsky’s “Investigation of Horror” and on various textual plunges into the fanged and clawed (and possibly noumenal) abyss of Nick Land’s work. Various experiences of horror are examined in order to build something of a typology, while also distilling the elements characteristic of the experience of horror in general. The essay’s overall hypothesis is that horror arises from a disruption of the usual ways of determining the boundaries between external things and the self, and this leads to a distinction between three subtypes of horror. In the first subtype, horror begins with the indeterminacy at the boundaries of things, a confrontation with something that defeats attempts to define it and thereby calls into question the definition of the self. In the second subtype, horror springs from the inability to determine one’s own boundaries, a process opposed by the crushing determinacy of the world. In the third subtype, horror unfolds by means of a substitution of one determinacy by another which is unexpected and ungrounded. In all three subtypes of horror, the disturbance of determinacy deprives the subject, the thinking entity, of its customary foundation for thought, and even of an explanation of how that foundation was lost; at times this can lead to impairment of the perception of time and space. Understood this way, horror comes within a hair’s breadth of madness - and may well cross over into it.

The press is a constitutive part of our society. It helps create national identities and formulates society's understanding of itself and its place in the world. Moreover, a free press is indispensable for ensuring the vibrancy of a democracy. For these reasons, a close inspection of news, and an evaluation of its performance, is crucial. We must look to the development of the mass press at the turn of the twentieth century to locate the beginnings of journalistic objectivity and the type of news we are familiar with today. The first section of this paper offers a review of accounts of this transformational period, placing opposing theories within the larger framework of the frictions between cultural studies and political economy, and underscores the need for a holistic understanding of the period. The second section chronicles the press's articulation of its new professional tenets, offers a definition of journalistic objectivity, and reveals its intrinsic limitations. The third section details how the modern press's ideal democratic mandate has been compromised, with the influence of the press being used instead to ensconce powerful interests. And the fourth section outlines the calls for a redefinition of journalism in light of the failures covered in the preceding section. Finally, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is offered as an alternative journalistic form that transcends the dangerous dogma of traditional news outlets, allowing it to fulfill the democratic responsibility of the press by encouraging a critical and astute citizenry.

The economic crisis of 2008–2009 highlighted new problems in the development of the German social market economy model and brought to the forefront the factors of its resilience that have ensured Germany’s leadership positions in the EU. Changes in economic policy have affected in the first place the energy and the financial sectors. Shifts in the political landscape have led to the appearance of new political parties. These changes have affected the results of the 2013 elections, the liberal democrats failure to enter the Bundestag has made the winner – CDU – seek new coalition partners.

In this article, the global simulation model (GSIM) of Joseph F. Francois and Keith H. Hall (2009) for analyzing global, regional, and unilateral trade policy changes was applied to Serbia. This was to measure the effects of full trade liberalization with the EU after Serbian accession to the EU. As anticipated, most of the changes in welfare after full liberalization of trade between Serbia and EU can be expected in sectors where Serbia has specialized; protection against imports from the EU is strong. However, losses could also occur in sectors that currently face strong protection against the rest of the world and this protection is lost after EU accession. Trade liberalization will lead to a substantial loss of tariff revenues. Reduced consumer prices might, on the one hand increase consumer surplus but on the other hand decrease producer surplus and output in certain industries.

The EU and China on May 19, 2000 reached a bilateral agreement toward Chinas membership in the WTO. The agreement brings China ever closer to completing its 14-yeas-old accession bid. China and the EU, two of the biggest markets in the world, have a everything to gain by deepening their commercial tides. Since 1978, EU and China trade has increased more than l0-fold. China is now the third largest important non-European trading partner. A strengthening of trade relations between China and EU is happening at the multilateral and bilateral level. Multilaterally, the EU is one of the keenest advocates of Chinas early accession to the WTO. Bilaterally, the EU supports Chinas economic and trade reforms, while encouraging further market opening. What is the EUs view on Chinas WTO accession? How does Chinas entry into WTO impact the EU? How will China benefit from joining the WTO? How does Chinas entry into WTO impact the EU? Will China comply with the agreements committed to EU? The purpose of this research is to evaluate trade performance, problems, current disputes, and other trade barriers between EU and China.

This chapter provides a broad analysis of the EU's development strategies from Lisbon to EU 2020. The purpose of the chapter is to make a comparison among development strategies of the EU and to reach the answer of the question; if EU 2020 will be a new future for the EU? For this aim, the author focuses on three questions: what is the connection between the globalization and the EU? Has the EU answered to the challenges of globalization or post Fordist transformation with Lisbon Strategy? Lisbon Strategy which was reformed two times was a failure, what were the reasons of launching the EU 2020 strategy? The first one is related to the economic transformation of the world and economic decline of the EU during the 1980 to 2000s. The second one is related to the EU's structural weakness. The third one is related to the future of the EU.


This handbook offers an extensive cross-linguistic and cross-theoretical survey of polysynthetic languages, in which single multi-morpheme verb forms can express what would be whole sentences in English. These languages and the problems they raise for linguistic analyses have long featured prominently in language descriptions, and yet the essence of polysynthesis remains under discussion, right down to whether it delineates a distinct, coherent type, rather than an assortment of frequently co-occurring traits. Chapters in the first part of the handbook relate polysynthesis to other issues central to linguistics, such as complexity, the definition of the word, the nature of the lexicon, idiomaticity, and to typological features such as argument structure and head marking. Part II contains areal studies of those geographical regions of the world where polysynthesis is particularly common, such as the Arctic and Sub-Arctic and northern Australia. The third part examines diachronic topics such as language contact and language obsolence, while Part IV looks at acquisition issues in different polysynthetic languages. Finally, Part V contains detailed grammatical descriptions of over twenty languages which have been characterized as polysynthetic, with special attention given to the presence or absence of potentially criterial features.

Abstract The main task of the investigation was to study the interrelations and to single out the sustainable clusters which reflect the content of different chemical substances in fruit, but have a tendency of slight correlation between each other. All these should become a base for definition of combination of fruits and berries containing a balanced set of useful compounds. It will help to make a composition of special food production. More than 170 fruit varieties of 13 fruit and berry like crops (apple, pear, apricot, plum, cherry, strawberry, black currant, red currant, viburnum, sea-buckhorn, honeysuckle) were studied for chemical indices content in their fruits and berries. The composition of chemical substances was chosen takng into account the specific features of all the investigated crops (dietary fiber, ascorbic acid, malic acid, citric acid, glucose, fructose, sucrose, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn). In order to study the correlation of the substances in the content, the principal component analysis was applied. As a result of the research, five clusters of the interrelated characters were singled out, these ones were linked to the first 5 the most important principal components. These components account for 78.23% of total variability of traits. The first component which accounts for 25.46% of total variability of traits is closely correlated with dietary fiber and organic acids content. The second component which accounts for 18.20% of total variability is closely connected with Ca, Fe, Zn content. The third component is correlated with Na, K, fructose and glucose contents.

Most modern analysts of Newton's laws of motion, whether they have approached the subject from a historical or from a philosophical viewpoint, have tended to concentrate on the status of the first two laws; the third law has largely been overlooked, or else it has been dismissed as somehow less interesting. My purpose in this paper is to reverse this approach—I intend to investigate some of the historical aspects of the third law, particularly the empirical background to Newton's statement of it, and in so doing, I intend to skirt most of the questions which have been raised concerning the status of the other two laws. In concentrating on the historical aspects of the third law, I shall also by-pass Mach's controversial re-interpretation of its role in mechanics, for while Mach saw the law as the basis for an operational definition of “mass”, it is quite clear that Newton did not so regard it. On the contrary, Newton seems to have regarded all three of his laws as straightforward statements of fact about the world, so that a knowledge of the factual background to the laws is a fundamental pre-requisite to an understanding of Newton's thought.
