The problem in planning costs of an operation, i.e., the problem of determining an optimal capacity of units used in time is a highly complex problem whose solution can be obtained in different ways, depending on what is taken as an optimality criterion and the types of limiting factors that are present during an operation’s realization. The main g...

Terrorism as a complex form of political violence, but also as ,,scourge of mankind" is experiencing a boom during the 21st century. The Republic of Serbia, as ,,gates of Europe", and as one of the busiest areas on the European continent has a special place in the plans of terrorist organizations and groups. The paper deals with the theme of the na...

The paper proposes a hybrid model, FAHP-MABAC. The fuzzyficated Saaty's scale with the AHP method (FAHP) is used for defining the weight coefficients of criteria. The MABAC method is applied in evaluating and ranking the alternatives. This hybrid model is developed in order to support decision making while selecting locations for the preparation of...

Evropsko i američko farmaceutsko tržište u XIX stoljeću obilježeno je značajnim povećanjem broja proizvođača kao i lijekova koje su stavljali u promet. Da bi jedan proizvođač ubijedio potrošače da je njegov lijek bolji od drugog, nerijetko se koristila moć dobre reklame. Takva promocija je uključivala sve vrste medija, uključujući prospekte i dnevn...

Marketing i promocija (reklama) lijekova predstavljaju jedan od segmenata farmaceutske industrije koji je u nagloj ekspanziji zadnjih decenija. Uz intenzivni razvoj farmaceutskog marketinga, sve više do izražaja dolazi i fenomen farmaceutikalizacije društva. Farmaceutikalizacija društva se može najjednostavnije opisati kroz situacije kada pacijenti...
