Six hundred and thirteen bacterial strains were isolated from wound swabs and the isolates were identified on the basis of growth on differential and selective media. In order to test the sensitivity of isolated strains to different antibiotics, the disc diffusion method, according to EUCAST protocol v 5.0 was used. The most common species isolated from wound swabs was Staphylococcus epidermidis (18.4%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis (16.8%, 12.7% and 10.4%, respectively). The maximum resistance of Gram-positive cocci was observed to penicillin and the lowest to linezolid. Gram-negative bacteria showed the highest resistance to tetracyclines, while the same strains demonstrated the highest sensitivity to polypeptide antibiotics. Comparison of the resistance patterns of Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacterial strains showed significant difference in the tetracycline efficiency.

Introduction/purpose: The paper presents the method of applying multi-criteria decision-making methods in order to improve shooting and select the most favorable conditions for shooting. Alternatives were ranked by individual multi-criteria decision-making methods AHP and VIKOR by experts, and then the most favorable alternative was selected using the Borda method of group decision making. The aim of the work is to select the most efficient way of shooting with minimal human fatigue, consumption of movable things and in the shortest possible time through a combination of multi-criteria decision-making methods, which will ensure the accuracy and precision of the rifle for subsequent shooting and other operations. Methods: The paper presents one of the ways of using multidisciplinary methods of multi-criteria decision making for a specific problem in the field of tactics with weapon systems. Experts from the field of armaments, using the AHP and VIKOR methods of individual multi-criteria decision making, selected the most favorable alternative in accordance with four given criteria. Then, by applying the Borda method of group decision making, the the most favorable alternative was selected - the most favorable conditions for the execution of preparatory shooting at serial number one with a 12.7 mm long range rifle. The alternatives are four shootings, namely, two ways of performing preparatory shooting with a 12.7 mm long range rifle at serial number one, one from the current Instructions and Program of Shooting with Infantry Weapons and the other newly proposed method, as well as two ways of realizing shooting for testing the accuracy and precision of a long range rifle. Results: The selection of the most effective conditions for the execution of the first initial preparatory shooting at serial number one with a long range rifle, which will ensure maximum accuracy of the weapon and the minimum consumption of resources - time, ammunition, targets, and personnel fatigue. Conclusion: The solution takes into account the simultaneous optimization of several criteria in order to select the most efficient way of performing preparatory shooting at serial number one in order to ensure rested and trained personnel as well as accurate and precise long range rifles for subsequent shootings, which leads to the maximum saving of resources, the satisfaction of personnel, and precise weapons.

The last few years have seen the artificial intelligence technologies’ potential to radically transform many industries, including agriculture, by optimizing the use of resources, increasing productivity, work efficiency, and resistance to climate change. The basic research question here is the degree of connection between the level of productivity in agriculture, on the one hand, and the degree of acceptance of AI technologies and a number of agriculture-related economic indicators, on the other hand. For this purpose, an empirical data analysis was carried out for EU 27 member countries. The results of the analysis show a moderately strong positive relationship between the level of the Labor Productivity in Agriculture and the AI Readiness Index score. Also, there is a statistically significant, but slightly less pronounced, positive relationship between the level of the Labor Productivity in Agriculture and GDP per capita and Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing, Value Added (current US$) in Millions.

The aim of this study was to examine morphometric values of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses. While the hematological and biochemical profiles of horses and donkeys have been previously documented in literature, there are no precise morphometric data regarding erythrocytes in donkeys. Given the increasing presence of donkeys in the world, the need exists to improve knowledge about this species. Balkan donkey is a large autochthonous breed found in Serbia. Blood cell parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume or Mean Cell Volume (MCV) are well documented in horses. However, papers examining blood morphometry in donkeys, especially erythrocyte size, are scarce. The clinical examination in this study included a total of 72 horses and donkeys. All animals were adults, located in Vojvodina, Northern Province of Serbia. Blood samples were evaluated and analyzed using ImageJ program. Following the analysis of the morphometric diameters of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses, it can be concluded that donkeys have the largest erythrocyte diameters. The precise reason for this phenomenon is still unknown.

The goal of this research was to identify lung lesions in slaughtered fatteners originating from registered farms. Evaluation of lung lesions was based on their visible macroscopic features, which were then associated with corresponding diseases. Data on lung lesions in slaughtered fatteners were collected over the period spanning from October to December 2022 from three slaughterhouses (A, B, C), involving 150 fattening animals from each slaughterhouse. The examination of slaughtered pig lungs from all three slaughterhouses in our study revealed that Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae lesions in the lungs are the most prevalent, while Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia and bronchopneumonia occurrences are rare.

Although the incidence of neoplasms increases with age, some tumors occur more commonly in younger dogs. Still, little information is available on the occurrence of neoplasms in dogs up to the age of 24 months. This study is a retrospective review of histopathological diagnoses of neoplasia at our laboratory during the last seven years (2017–2023) in two groups of dogs: group up to the age of 12 months and group from 13 to 24 months. In a total of 3704 neoplasms found in different dog tissues, 74 (2.00%) were identified in dogs up to 12 months and 135 (3.64%) in dogs aged 13 to 24 months. Canine cutaneous histiocytoma was the most frequent in both groups:41 cases (54.41%) in dogs up to 12 months, followed by 39 cases (28.89%) in those up to 24 months. In the present analysis of the group up to 12 months, 82.43% of tumors (n = 61) were benign, and 17.57% (n=13) were malignant, followed by 68.15% (n=92) benign neoplasms, and 31.85% (n=43) malignant in dogs aged from 13 to 24 months. French bulldogs and mixed-breed dogs were the most frequently affected. These data provide valuable epidemiological information on neoplasms in young dogs in the Republic of Serbia.

Serbian cultural diplomacy at the Eurovision Song Contest includes both the presentation of elements of the Serbian musical idiom and the effective use of dominant trends in European popular music. The aim of this article is to attempt to define the characteristic elements of the musical content of three Serbian songs in the Eurovision editions of the twenty-first century, such as minor mode and Aeolian mode, to indicate different aspects of the analysis of their lyrics, to clarify the peculiarities of visual identity in the performance on the Eurovision stage and to determine the role of these elements in the construction of the identity of the Serbian Eurovision song at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

In the Technical Laboratory Center for Testing Motor Vehicles of the Faculty of Traffic in Doboj, the traction characteristics of the "Pezzo" passenger car were tested, i.e. the performance on the chassis dynamometer. After analyzing the measurement results and calculating the physical quantities, the actual values of the maximum engine power [kW] and maximum torque [Nm] in real driving conditions on the road were obtained. The comparison method was used to analyze the deviation of the obtained values in relation to the technical characteristics provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, the main goal of the research is to determine how much the technical characteristics of the vehicle given by the manufacturer in the technical documentation deviate from the actual data obtained by measuring the performance in stationary conditions on the chassis dynamometer, taking into account the exploitation of the vehicle.

Until the introduction of land registers at the end of 1934, the ownership of immovable property in Belgrade was proved through ownership documents, which were prepared by the Cadastral Department as a department of the Municipality of Belgrade. The book of ownership documents was a public record of immovable properties and real rights over them - ownership. At the beginning of the 30s of the HH century, records of real estate ownership were created in Belgrade. It was about ownership documents that were issued to the owners by the Belgrade Municipal Court. A total of 12,471 ownership documents were issued, 10 of which confirmed the ownership of the Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences. At the beginning of the 30s of the HH century, records of real estate ownership were created in Belgrade. It was about ownership documents that were issued to the owners by the Belgrade Municipal Court. A total of 12,471 ownership documents were issued, 10 of which confirmed the ownership of the Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences. Today, these ownership documents are kept in the Historical Archives of Belgrade. Ownership documents, as a presentation of archival materials, have been prepared in this work, with the aim of contributing to a broader picture of the arrangement of property-legal relations in Belgrade during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Since ownership documents contain information about the property of certain individuals, they can also be used for the prosopography of Belgrade. The ownership documents of the Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences were selected as a representative example due to the special national importance of this institution, which was renamed the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts after the Second World War.
