Istraņivanja u okviru ove doktorske disertacije bavila su se proizvodnjom novog bezglu-tenskog prehrambenog proizvoda na bazi pirinčanog brańna sa dodatkom korena cikorije na dvo-puņnom ekstruderu. U okviru ove studije prvi put je implementiran koren cikorije u flips pro-izvode kao potencijalno funcionalni dodatak. Koren cikorije je jedan od najbogatijih izvora inu-lina, prebiotske komponente poņeljne u ishrani osoba obolelih od dijabetesa, ali i mnogih drugih bioaktivnih komponenata (seskviterpenskih laktona, polifenolnih jedinjenja, masnih kiselina, amino kiselina, vitamina, minerala i dr). Ispitivanja u okviru doktorske disertacije definisana su u cilju odreĎivanja optimalnih uslova procesa ekstrudiranja neophodnih za ostvarivanje poņeljnih fizičkih, teksturnih, i funkcionalnih (sadrņaj inulina i drugih gorenavedenih sastojaka) karakte-ristika finalnog proizvoda.Proistekli rezultati daju uvid u zakonitosti koje vladaju izmeĎu zadatih procesnih parame-tara (sadrņaja vlage polazne smeńe, brzine obrtanja puņnice, i sadrņaja korena cikorije) i fizičkih, funkcionalnih, teksturnih, reolońkih i senzorskih karakteristika finalnih flips proizvoda. Pri-menom optimalnih uslova proizvodnje, koji su definisani uz pomoć genetskog algoritma (16,3 % vlage; brzina obrtanja puņnice od 700 o/min i 30% korena cikorije), uspeńno je proizveden hrs-kav flips proizvod prihvatljive boje, sa visokim sadrņajem prebiotika inulina (5,36%). Time je opravdana primena korena cikorije u razvoju novih funkcionalnih proizvoda prihvatljivih od strane potrońača.PredviĎanje vrednosti ispitivanih parametara ekstrudata vrńeno je primenom dva matema-tička modela čime se jasno pruņa uvid u njihovu primenjivost i učinkovitost kod ove vrste proizvoda. U tu svrhu primenjene su veńtačka neuronska mreņa (engl. Artificial neural network, ANN) i nova metodologija ubrzanog regresionog stabla (engl. Boosted regression trees, BRT), koja se po prvi put primenjuje kod procesa ekstrudiranja hrane.Jedan od ciljeva istraņivanja bio je obogaćnje ekstrudiranog proizvoda inulinom u literaturno preporučenim granicama. Stoga je posebna paņnja bila posvećena optimizaciji postup-ka ekstrakcije inulina, kao i razvoju i validaciji sofisticirane analitičke metode za njegovo kvan-titativno odreĎivanje primenom visokopritisne tečne hromatografije kuplovane sa detektorom ra-sipanja svetlosti na isparenom uzorku (engl. High performance liquid chromatography-Evapo-rative light scattering detector, HPLC-ELSD). Ova metoda primenjiva je na komercijalno do-stupnim proizvodima na teritorije Republike Srbije koji sadrņe inulin (flipsevi, kafe, dodaci ishrani sa inulinom).Inovativni prehrambeni funkcionalni proizvodi nastali u okviru ove disertacije mogu doprineti zdravijoj ishrani potrońača, obogatiti aktuelni trņińni asortiman flips proizvoda i pro-movisati implementaciju korena cikorije u prehrambene proizvode s obzirom na to da Srbija spada u 10 najvećih svetskih proizvoĎača ove sirovine., Research conducted within this doctoral thesis was focused on the production of a novel gluten-free food product based on rice flour with the addition of chicory root on a twin-screw extruder. As a part of this study, chicory root was implemented for the first time in snack puffed products as potential functional ingredient. Chicory root is one of the richest sources of inulin, a prebiotic component desirable in the diet of people with diabetes, but also many other bioactive components (sesquiterpene lactones, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, mi-nerals, etc.). The main goal of this doctoral thesis research was to define the optimal conditions of extrusion cooking process necessary to achieve the desired physical, textural, and potentially functional (inulin content and other bioactive compounds) characteristics of the final product.The results provide insight into the relationships that prevail between the set of process parameters (moisture content of the starting mixture, screw speed, and chicory root content) and physical, functional, textural, rheological and sensory characteristics of the final puffed snack products. Applying the optimal production conditions, which were defined using a genetic algo-rithm (16.3% moisture; 700 rpm and 30.0% chicory root), it was successfully generated a crispy snack product of attractive color, with a high content of inulin (5.36%). This justifies the use of chicory root in the development of new food products acceptable to consumers.Prediction of extrudates tested properties was performed using two mathematical models, which clearly provides insight into their applicability and effectiveness in this type of product. For this purpose, the Artificial neural network (ANN) was applied, as well as the new young methodology of Boosted regression trees (BRT), which is being used for the first time in food extrusion.One of the goals of the research was to develop a functional extruded snack product enriched with inulin within the literary recommended intake. Therefore, special attention was de-dicated to the optimization of the inulin extraction process, as well as for the development and validation of a sophisticated analytical method for its quantitative determination using high per-formance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD). This method is applicable to commercially available products in the territory of the Re-public of Serbia that contain inulin (flips, coffee, dietary supplements with inulin).Innovative food products created within this dissertation can contribute to healthier consumer nutrition, enrich the current market range of snack products and promote the imple-mentation of chicory root in food products, considering that Serbia is one of the 10 largest world producers of this raw material.

The subject of the research performed herein is solutions accepted in the sources of arbitration law, case law and arbitration case law and legal theory in respect of the notion and significance of arbitrability in the international commercial relations. Arbitrability is understood in the broadest sense as capability of dispute to be entrusted for resolving to the arbitration as a non-state authority. The reasons for asking the question of arbitrability should be looked for in the differences and disputes existing among the people. This fact, manifested as relation of the social community towards arbitration, testifies to arbitrability not only as legal, but as sociological phenomenon as well. With the emerging of state as organized and regulated way of living together, the respect for which is provided by enforcement regulations and especially by separated judicial power, the importance of arbitrations, as autonomously organized manner of resolving disputes is relativized and placed in line with state courts. A comparison and parallelism between the two ways of resolving disputes will remain a criterion for efficiency and justifiability of both ways of resolving disputes.

In this paper the authors analyze the legal regime applicable to negotiations in comparative law, with a special emphasis on the solutions adopted in uniform law. The general hypothesis of the paper is that the differences in rules on negotiations in various legal systems are likely to jeopardize legal certainty in international business transactions as they may lead to unexpected outcomes in the field of pre-contractual liability. For that reason, the advance understanding of the applicable law to negotiations is of utmost importance in international business transactions as it may significantly affect party's overall cost calculation and liability, in particular in case of failed negotiations. Upon examining the approaches to negotiations taken by two major legal systems (civil law and common law), the content of the sources of uniform contract law and the practice of courts and arbitral tribunals, the authors conclude that, irrespective of the law applicable to negotiations, the parties may exercise critical impact on the legal framework of their negotiations by concluding different kinds of agreements on negotiations. However, in doing so, the parties need to be aware of the importance of predictability of the solutions to be applied, since predictability is one of the crucial elements of legal certainty in international business transactions.

The subject-matter of this doctoral dissertation is the research of legal regime, content and consequences of State responsibility for the protection of foreign direct investments. To that effect, the author examines in detail the elements of theoretical definition of the notion of State responsibility for the protection of foreign direct investments, the specificities with respect to the determination of the law applicable to different aspects of responsibility, the influence of various methods of defining the notion of investment to the scope of responsibility for its protection, the content and effects of elements and preconditions for responsibility, the circumstances excluding the responsibility as well as the legal consequences of responsibility of the host State in case of violation of its obligation to protect foreign direct investments in its territory. This choice of subject-matter of the doctoral dissertation is governed by the increasing importance of foreign direct investments for the development of national economies, which is a world-wide trend also present in Serbia. However, attempts to attract foreign investments are not always accompanied by careful considerations of legal consequences and potential practical repercussions of guarantees given to foreign investors. This is clearly proved by the diversity and heterogeneous content of sources of foreign direct investment law which, along with the specificities caused by the hybrid nature of international regime of investment protection, represent the focus of this dissertation. Accordingly, the general aim of the research is the identification of factors that shape State responsibility for protection of foreign direct investments and the exploration of their effects in order to enable better theoretic understanding and practical application of the rules studied in the thesis. This general aim induces several special aims of the study: providing an overview and describe the system of legal sources of

This dissertation focuses on the issue of scope and calculation of the damages for the breach of the contract for the international sale of goods. In other words, the author seeks to define specific kinds of damages which are deemed recoverable pursuant to the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and to discuss particular conditions for recovery of such damages, delineate the methods of calculation of the actual amount of damages due and point out the factors of limitation of that amount. It is undisputed that the efficiency in exercising the right to claim damages is a conditio sine qua non of efficient trade. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to provide for a systematization of an important area of law which has unfortunately not been in the focus of the Serbian legal literature so far. The aim is to identify the governing principles of this area of law, define a coherent system and methodology of calculation of different kinds of damages and put forward modern theoretical and practical tendencies with respect to specific kinds of damages. The relevance of this topic is twofold. On the one hand, the topic is important because of its scientific and theoretic aspect. Namely, the issues covered by this thesis have not been sufficiently discussed in the Serbian legal literature. On the other hand, the topic bears a practical significance since the issue of calculation of damages is often discussed in judicial and arbitral case law. In that respect, it should be noted that only a correctly defined scope of damages and appropriatly chosen method of calculation of damages is likely to produce positive effects to the assets of the creditor and, indirectly, in the economic system of the country of its seat. The thesis consists of an introduction, five parts and a conclusion. It contains more than 1000 references to contemporary authors and other legal sources which appropriately reflect the modern stage of comparative law in the field of ou

Предмет истраживања која су обављена у овом раду су решења која су прихваћена у изворима арбитражног права, судској и арбитражнoј пракси и правној теорији у погледу појма и значаја арбитрабилности у међународним трговинским односима. Арбитрабилност је схваћена у најширем смислу као подобност спора да буде поверен на решавaње арбитражи као недржавном органу. Разлоге за постављање питања арбитрабилности треба тражити у разликама и споровима који пoстоје између људи. Ова чињеница, која се манифестује као однос друштвене заједнице према арбитражи, сведочи о арбитрабилности не сaмо као правној, већ и као социолошкој појави. Са настанком државе као организованог и уређеног начина заједничког живота чије је поштовање обезбеђено принудним прописима и посебно издвојеном судском влашћу, значај арбитража, као аутономно организованог начина решaвања спорова, бива релативизован и стављен у раван са државним судовима. Упоређивање и паралелизам између два начина решавања спорова ће остати мерило ефикасности и оправданости и једног и другог начина решавања спорова. Својеврсни дуалитет и ривалитет између судског и арбитражног "судовања" требало би схватити не само као ограничавајуће факторе, већ и као покретачку снагу за стално преиспитивање улоге и значаја арбитража. The subject of the research performed herein is solutions accepted in the sources of arbitration law, case law and arbitration case law and legal theory in respect of the notion and significance of arbitrability in the international commercial relations. Arbitrability is understood in the broadest sense as capability of dispute to be entrusted for resolving to the arbitration as a non-state authority.

Предмет докторске дисертације представља истраживање правног режима, садржаја и правних последица одговорности државе за заштиту страних директних улагања. У том смислу детаљно се испитују специфичности теоријског одређења одговорности државе за заштиту страних директних улагања, посебности у погледу одређивања меродавног права за различите аспекте одговорности, утицај различитих начина дефинисања појма страног директног улагања на домашај одговорности државе пријемнице за његову заштиту, садржај и дејство конститутивних елемената, односно услова одговорности, начини испољавања услова искључења одговорности у међународном праву заштите страних директних улагања, као и последице постојања одговорности државе пријемнице у случају повреде обавезе заштите страних директних улагања на њеној територији. Овако постављен предмет истраживања условљен је растућим значајем страних директних улагања за развој националних привредних система, што је међународни тренд у погледу којег наша држава није изузетак. Међутим, настојање да се привуку страна директна улагања није увек праћено довољно пажљивим промишљањем о правним последицама јемстава датих страним улагачима. О томе јасно сведочи изразита хетерогеност садржаја извора међународног права заштите страних директних улагања. Управо утицај те хетерогености међународних и унутрашњих извора права заштите страних директних улагања, као и специфичности које произлазе из хибридне природе међународног права страних улагања на режим одговорности држава пријемница, представљају окосницу проблематике ове дисертације. Сходно томе, општи циљ истраживања представља утврђивање фактора који уобличавају одговорност државе за заштиту страних директних улагања и испитивање њиховог дејства, како би се изучавани институт боље теоријски разумео и правилније практично примењивао. Из овог општег циља проистиче и неколико конкретних задатака истраживања, а то су: давање прегледа и систематизовање извора права у области одговорности државе за заштиту страних директних улагања, утврђивање актуелних тенденција у праву страних улагања у вези са одговорношћу државе за заштиту страних директних улагања, испитивање усаглашености извора права страних улагања на снази у Републици Србији са тим тенденцијама и формулисање предлога за измене правила чија би примена могла да доведе до претераног ширења одговорности државе, односно до немогућности страног улагача да заштити своја легитимна улагачка права и интересе.

Предмет овог рада јесте одређивање обима накнаде штете због повреде уговора о међународној продаји, односно дефинисање појединих облика штете који се могу надокнадити према одредбама Бечке конвенције о уговорима о међународној продаји робе, уз разматрање посебних услова за накнаду штете, метода одмеравања висине накнаде штете, као и начина ограничења обима накнаде. Неспорно је да без ефикасне могућности остваривања права на накнаду штете нема ни ефикасне привреде. Отуд је и циљ овог рада систематизација једне важне правне области, до сада недовољно разматране у нашој стручној литератури, изналажење руководних начела за њено правилно разумевање, те установљење кохерентног система и методологије одмеравања накнаде различитих облика штете, са посебним освртом на поједине облике штете и модерне тенденције у разматрању овог института, како у теорији тако и у пракси. Ова тема је од посебног значаја, с једне стране, у научно-теоријском смислу, јер је реч о недовољно обрађеној материји пре свега у домаћој стручној литератури, а с друге стране и у практичном смислу, имајући у виду учесталост расправљања о захтевима за накнаду штете базираним на Конвенцији у судској и арбитражној пракси и позитивне ефекте који се само правилно одређеним обимом и одмереним износом висине накнаде штете могу постићи непосредно у имовини повериоца и посредно у привредном систему земље његовог седишта. Рад обухвата увод, пет поглавља и закључна разматрања са преко 1000 референци (фуснота) упућивања на друге савремене ауторе и различите правне изворе, који на примерен начин одражавају стање актуeлне упоредноправне науке у овој области. У раду су поред нормативног метода као основног, коришћени и упоредноправни и историјски метод. Релевантну истраживачку грађу чине домаћи и страни извори из ове области, бројни коментари Конвенције, дела монографског карактера и чланци.
