Abstract:

Крајем 19. века Срби у Османском царству,помогнути матицом Србијом, започели су интензивну борбуза духовно ослобођење. Отварање школа, основних исредњих, оснивање књижара и штампање уџбеника, као ирад црквено-школских општина, био је најбољи пут дасрпски народ очува свој национални идентитет.Овај рад бави се историјом српских средњихшкола у Османском царству.

Abstract:

Inducement prizes-where cash rewards are given to motivate the attainment of targets--have been long used to encourage scientific research, develop technological innovations, or stimulate individuals, groups, and communities to accomplish diverse goals. Lately, prizes have increasingly attracted the attention of policy-makers, among others, due to their potential to induce path-breaking innovations and accomplish related goals. Academic research, however, has barely investigated these prizes in spite of their long history, recent popularity, and notable potential. This research investigates pr

Abstract:

The cost of heating a house can be a large recurring cost for homeowners and rational buyers should capitalize this expense into the price they are willing to pay. I utilize hedonic price regressions to investigate if differences in heating costs are reflected in sales prices in the way theory would expect. I find that an increase in yearly heating expense is associated with a decrease in sales price ten times greater, this implies a capitalization rate of 30-50% under reasonable assumptions. These results are similar to or slightly lower than previous literature. Low capitalization of energy

The approach to the Prize is thematically but not chronologically historical, spanning twenty-six years of award-winning novels from the Prize's inauguration in 1969 to a cut-off point of 1995. The twenty-nine novels which have won or shared the Prize in this period are examined within a theoretical framework intended to map out the literary terrain which the novels inhabit

Abstract:

Inducement prize contests, where a monetary prize is offered for a specified technological achievement, are increasingly popular means of incentivising research and innovation. Such prizes are often modelled by the rent-seeking Tullock contest, or an all-pay auction. However, the direct application of such models can overlook some particular features of technological competition. This thesis addresses three such features. The first model notes that preliminary prizes are often part of contest designs. A two-round Tullock model is used to investigate a potential motivation for offering such pri

This project examines the corpus of novels that have been nominated for the Man Booker Prize and, using the prize as a creator of a contemporary literary canon, attempts to develop a model of a contemporary best text. Using the distant reading techniques proposed by digital humanities scholar Franco Moretti to track and graph a variety of formal and structural variables across the corpus of nominees, it becomes apparent that the kind of novel that typically wins the Booker Prize and thus the kind of novel that qualifies as a contemporary best text fits a distinct mold.

Abstract:

The Nobel Peace Prize is more than a medal,diploma and monetary sum. This thesis investigates the nature and international impacts of this accolade. It traces the historical evolution of the media resources that underpin the Prize, and offers three ways of conceptualising it: as a meme, as a set of intangible and software assets, and as a tool of soft power.

Throughout the period, the emphasis of American policy was on the integration of Indonesia into world capitalism, an objective which became intertwined with Indonesia's growing strategic value to the US, from 1948 onwards, and its subsequent importance as a scene of confrontation with the Soviets and Communis
