The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of food safety knowledge among cadets of Military Academy in the Republic of Serbia. For that purpose, a structured, self-administrative questionnaire was designed and used to assess the level of food handling practices and food safety knowledge. In total, 120 cadets were involved in the study. For each participating cadet, the food handling practice score (FHPS) and food safety knowledge score (FSKS) was calculated by dividing the sum of correct answers by the total number of correct responses. Additionally, knowledge gaps were identified for each question. Our results indicated that on the average FHPS among Serbian cadets was 44.5%, while FSKS was 50.5%. Female cadets showed better scores compared to males, although this was not statistically significant. Better FHPS scores were determined among cadets living with parents (48.7%), compared to cadets living with roommates (43.6%, p?0.05), while an opposite was determined for FSKS. In total, 95.8% of cadets apply good practice of hand hygiene before preparing food, 90.8% of them knew that is not safe to consume food when the shelf-life is expired, and 89.2% knew that the opened sterilized milk should not be stored outside the refrigerator. Also, 91.7% of cadets knew that content of blown can is not safe for the consumption. Almost 64.2% of all cadets could successfully make association between meat and Trichinella, while merely 27.5% of them knew that Escherichia coli O157 is the most important pathogen for raw minced meat, and only 13.3% of cadets knew that Listeria monocytogenes is associated with ready-to-eat meat products. Finally, only 10% of cadets knew that Campylobacter is food-borne pathogen mostly associated with raw and undercooked chicken meat. Also, our cadets were not aware that color, smell or appearance of food would not give any indication of food contamination, as only 6.7% of cadets knew this. Results obtained in this study pointed out some food safety areas which need further improvement via educational program, but also via media and internet courses, material or short clips.
This paper deals with the production parameters of major cereal crops in Serbia (namely the cultivation area, annual production and yields of the cereal crops considered) in the period 2005-2018. The objective of this study was to determine trends in and the volume and stability of the production parameters of the most important cereal crops in Serbia. Furthermore, a forecast of changes in the parameters observed was made for the five-year period 2019-2023. The following cereal crops were under consideration: corn, wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale. The area devoted to corn in Serbia was found to be very stable, indicating a slight downward trend. However, the Serbian corn production lacked stability due to variations in yield, suggesting a very slight downward trend. Wheat was found to be far more stable with slightly growing trends in all the parameters considered. Moreover, positive trends in all the parameters considered were also noticed in the Serbian triticale production.
One of the important indicators of democratization of each society is the constitutional and legal definition of the role of the military and the possibility of its control. The civil and democratic control of the Serbian Armed Forces primarily includes control of the use and development of the Serbian Armed Forces, internal and external control of the expenditures for the military needs, monitoring and informing the public about the state of preparations of the Armed Forces, providing free access to information of public importance and defining responsibilities for performing the military duties in accordance with the law. The instrument for financing the military expenditures in the Republic of Serbia is the state budget. During the drafting of the Law on Budget, the costs for the military needs are planned for the budget year and the following two years. Having in mind that the Law on Budget is passed by the highest legislative body - the National Assembly, the main principle of the democratic control of the military expenditure planning is provided. However, the budget execution implies the control over the use of the budget funds, whereby the Law on Budget System provides for several levels of control, organized as internal and external control. The internal control of the military expenditures, expressed in the budget of the Republic of Serbia, is carried out by the financial service bodies of the units and institutions of the Serbian Armed Forces, the Accounting Centre of the Budget and Finance Sector of the Ministry of Defence, the Defence Inspectorate, the Military Security Agency, the Criminal Investigation Group and the Internal Audit of the Ministry of Defence. The external control of the budget intended for the military needs is performed by the State Audit Institution and the Budget Inspection. The objective of the control is to determine whether the actions of the Serbian Armed Forces are in accordance with the position stipulated by the Constitution, as well as with the policy that the mentioned representative and executive authorities define in their acts.
Contemporary capitalism, with all of its contradictions and variability of existence, dominates the present. Even though it retained its basic characteristics of classical capitalism, its peculiarity is present in socially-productive relations that are in mutual contradiction. Modern capitalism is still capitalism. The aim of this paper is to research the relationship between contemporary capitalism and sustainable economy and to give an answer what is necessary for those two to be connected.
Универзитет одбране у Београду, Војна академија ад је настао с намером да се покаже да војна униформа -њен настанак, развој, промене, квалитет и симболи истакнути на њој, јасно указују на друштвене и културне обрасце и утицаје које је војна организација претрпела у свом историјском ходу. Такође, у раду се по-казује да војна униформа (треба да) задовољава два кључна захтева: подесност за извршење додељених задатака у оквиру дефинисаних мисија с једне и подизање "борбеног духа" припадника војске с друге стране. Ако се војна униформа схвати као језик који нам се обраћа и ко-ји нам нешто саопштава, онда се може анализирати смисао симбола и ознака на униформи, као и униформа као симбола по себи. Кретање трагом ове мисли ауторе је довело до закључка да се смисао унифор-ме као симболичког језика налази у изражавању особина војске као друштвене институције и карактеристика војне професије.Кључне речи: униформа, знак, симбол, особине војске, каракте-ристике војне професије Увод озната је изрека по којој одело чини човека. Ако значење ове изреке протег-немо изван граница појединачног, Достојевски би рекао исувише људског, доћи ћемо до велике истине -да одећа често говори више о једном друштву, кла-си, групи или професији него што се то чини на први поглед. Сви се људи облаче, али се не облаче сви људи исто. То је посебно уочљиво у пред потрошачким дру-штвима, ако анализирамо и поредимо народне ношње. У ношњу су уткани много-струки утицаји: полни, климатски, географски, религијски, обичајни, историјски, при-вредни, уметнички... На пример, ношња нам говори које су животиње и биљке љу-ди гајили да би израдили одевне предмете; она нам јасно ставља до знања да ли су је носили људи из континенталне или тропске климе, да ли су насељавали пла-нине или равнице; народни одевни предмети шапућу нам шта се ценило код му-шкараца, а шта код жена једног истог народа. Ако је данас већина савремених дру-штава подлегла утицају потрошачког друштва које је вредност новитета поставило изнад вредности трајања, које деградира идеалне дугорочног и целине
