Over last 30 years, The Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), as 4th largest trade block, undoubtedly exists and functions. In year 1991, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay established MERCOSUR ...(Mercado Común del Sur). Venezuela joined in year 2006 but suspended since 2016. By signing a trade agreement, four member states of Latin America accepted unilateral trade liberalization programs, dismantled trade barriers, and enforced market expansion. This investigation is implemented through the commonly used international trade indicators and aims at unveiling status of international competitiveness and comparative advantages of MERCOSUR countries. The observed period is from 2014-2019. The main hypothesis assumes satisfactory state of the international competitiveness of MERCOSUR member states within observed period. The key results discuss the position of MERCOSUR member countries’ international competitiveness together with the collected results of MERCOSUR trading bloc indicators. The paper’s concluding remarks aim at identifying the trading situation of MERCOSUR member countries, along with the proposals intended for achieving the higher levels of their international competitiveness.

Benediktinski kraljevski samostan (
monasterium
regale
) sv. Ivana Evanđelista (
sancti Iohannis
Apostoli et Evangeliste
) u Biogradu na Moru utemeljen je 1060. godine. Nakon mletačkoga razaranja ...Biograda 1125. i preseljenja njegovih redovnika na obližnji Pašman samostan je promijenio ime u samostan svetih Kuzme i Damjana (
monasterium sanctorum Cosme et Damiani
de Monte
). Njegov je najveći i najvažniji posjed bio Rogovo u biogradskom zaleđu, zbog čega je često nazivan
rogovskim
, a samostanska zajednica Rogovskom opatijom. Tim se nazivom objedinjuje i biogradska i pašmanska dionica njezine povijesti. Istraživanjem topografsko-toponimijske problematike i posjedovnih odnosa Rogovske opatije ustanovljene su dvije glavne skupine samostanskih posjeda. S jedne su strane posjedi na kopnu (Biograd, Bošana, Bubnjani, Bućina/Bučina, Diklo, Doljani, Dračani, Dubrovica/Dubrava, Gorica, Jagodnje, Jasenje/Jasenica, Jošani, Kamenjane, Lišani, Miranje, Nabrežje, Puntamika, Rača/Narak, Rasohatica, Raštani, Rogovo, Rogovšćica, Sidraga, Sikovo, Skradin, Sošina, Šibenik, Tinj, Tustica, Vransko blato / Vransko jezero, Vrbica, Zadar, Zidine/Zidić), a s druge posjedi na otočnom dijelu (Žirje, niz posjeda na Pašmanu, posjedi na Ugljanu u mjestu Ugljanu). U radu se analiziraju posjedi Rogovske opatije na skradinskom području, ali i na teritoriju Sidraške županije, nad kojim je jurisdikciju imala Skradinska biskupija. Dodatno se ističu problemi vezani za jurisdikciju između Rogovske opatije i te dijeceze.
The Benedictine royal monastery (
monasterium regale
) of St. John the Evangelist (
sancti Iohannis Apostoli et Evangeliste
) in Biograd na Moru was founded in the year 1060. After the Venetian destruction of Biograd in 1125 and the relocation of its monks to the nearby island of Pašman, the monastery was renamed after Sts. Cosmas and Damian (
monasterii sanctorum Cosme et Damiani de Monte
). Due to its largest estate, Rogovo, it was called “rogovski,ˮ encompassing both its historical episodes, the Biograd and Pašman periods. Through the investigation of the topographical and toponymic issues and the ownership relationships of Rogovo Abbey, two main groups of monastery estates were identified: those on the mainland and those on the island part. This work presents the estates that Rogovo Abbey had in the Skradin area (including one mill) and within the jurisdiction of the medieval Skradin Bishopric, for example, in Jošani and Bubnjani. The connections between Skradin and its associated area on one side and Rogovo Abbey on the other date back to the 12th century. In the privilege of Pope Innocent VI in 1358, which takes the monastery of Sts. Cosmas and Damian under the protection of St. Peter and confirms its privileges and all its possessions, two mills are mentioned, one of which is located in Skradin (
unum molendinum in Scardona
). The same mill is mentioned in the bulls of Pope Lucius III in 1183 and 1188 and in the privilege of Clement III. Skradin's property fits perfectly into the organization of Benedictine monasteries in Western Europe, which regularly had mills in their possession and activities, whether operated manually, by wind, or by water, for milling grain or processing olives. The need for a mill is even stipulated in the Rule of St. Benedict (
Regula sancti Benedicti
), Chapter 66. Preserved historical testimonies about the connections and relationships between the Skradin church hierarchy and Rogovo Abbey are not numerous, but what we have sheds interesting light on the subject. In the records of the lawsuit between Skradin Bishop Damian (1303–1309) and Rogovo Abbot Ivan II (1306–1320 /?/) from August 12, 1308, to February 6, 1309, over debts, non-payment of church fees, episcopal tithes, and disrespect for the bishop, it is evident that the excommunication of Rogovo Abbot Ivan II had a significant impact. This severe penalty against Rogovo Abbot Ivan II was proclaimed on December 27, 1308, in the presence of Ban Pavle I Bribirski and his son Juraj II, Bishop Martin of Šibenik, and others. With the fall of Skradin and the broader Skradin area to the Ottomans, Rogovo Abbey lost its estates and rights.
The paper is based on the analysis of R&D impact on export competitiveness of the chemical industry in selected OECD countries in the period between 1996 and 2008. The testing is based on the ...application of several panel analysis models. The objective of the paper is to measure the impact of R&D activity and the selected independent variables on export activity based on a group of results on the export/import ratio, R&D activity, gross investments in fixed capital, labour costs per employee and domestic demand of the selected countries. In accordance with the basic hypothesis of the paper, R&D can have a significant impact on export competitiveness of the chemical industry in the selected OECD countries.

U hrvatskoj je historiografiji tek nekoliko periodičkih publikacija čije utemeljenje odnosno pokretanje seže u 19. stoljeće, ali – što je još važnije od toga – može se pratiti njihovo kontinuirano ...izlaženje u narednim i nadolazećim razdobljima, sve do današnjega dana. Među takvim periodicima iznimno važno mjesto zauzima Vjestnik Kr. hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva u Zagrebu, koji je 1899. godine, uz pomoć Emilija Laszowskoga, utemeljio i bio mu prvim glavnim urednikom Ivan pl. Bojničić-Kninski (1858.-1925.). Časopis je nekoliko puta mijenjao ime, a od 1958. godine izlazi pod imenom Arhivski vjesnik: Bulletin d’archives kao znanstveni i stručni godišnjak, tj. specijalizirana periodička publikacija arhivskih ustanova u Hrvatskoj za područja arhivistike, pomoćnih povijesnih znanosti, informatologije i komunikacijskih znanosti te srodnih disciplina. Kako je nakladnik i sjedište toga časopisa uvijek bilo i jest povezano s našom najvažnijom nacionalnom arhivskom institucijom – Hrvatskim državnim arhivom u Zagrebu – tako je taj časopis izvorište brojnih studija i članaka iz širokoga polja povijesnih znanosti, ali posebno pak iz pomoćnih povijesnih znanosti. To je istaknuto i u samom uvodniku prvoga broja časopisa sljedećim riječima: »3. Ovamo spada i znanstveno tumačenje arkivalija, dakle čitavo obsežno i zanimivo polje paleografije i diplomatike. Pripada takodjer i heraldika, genealogija i sfragistika, u koliko služe domaćoj povjesti.« Kako pomoćne povijesne znanosti u Hrvatskoj nisu imale svoju jedinstvenu specijaliziranu publikaciju, to je upravo ovaj časopis bio glavno mjesto za objavljivanje radova iz epigrafije, paleografije, diplomatike, kronologije, egdotike, sfragistike, genealogije, heraldike i dr. U ovom članku obrađene su i prikazane heraldičke teme u Vjestniku Kraljevskog hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva, odnosno Arhivskom vjesniku, i to u širokom vremenskom luku od 19. do 21. stoljeća. Također je ukazano na ulogu i važnost urednika ovoga časopisa i pojedinih zaposlenika arhiva koji su i sami bili istaknuti stručnjaci za heraldiku i druge pomoćne povijesne znanosti, a to su: Ivan Bojničić, Emilij Laszowski, Josip Matasović, Josip Buturac, Bartol Zmajić i Petar Strčić.
The Croatian historiography has only few periodicals that were founded i.e. started back in the 19th century, but more importantly, that have been pub-lished continually in the following periods, until today. Extremely important place among such periodicals belongs to the Vjestnik Kr. hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva (The Herald of the Royal-Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Land Archives) in Zagreb, which was founded in 1899 by the honourable Ivan Bojničić-Kninski (1858 – 1925), with the help of Emilij Laszowski. Bojničić was also its first editor-in-chief. The periodical changed its name several times and since 1958 it has been published under the name Arhivski vjesnik – Bulletin d’archives (Archi-val Herald), as a scientific and professional annual i.e. a specialised periodical of archival institutions in the Republic of Croatia for the fields of archival science, auxiliary sciences of history, information science and communication science, as well as related sciences. Since the publisher and the headquarters of this journal has always been associated with our most important national archival institutions i.e. the Croatian State Archives, the journal is the source of numerous studies and articles from the wide field of historical science, particularly from the auxiliary sciences of history. This was also emphasized in the first editorial of the journal (“Naša zadaća” (“Our task”), I/1899, p.2) with the following words: “(...) 3. This also includes the scientific interpretation of archival records i.e. the entire vast and interesting field of palaeography and diplomatics. It also includes heraldry, geneal-ogy and sphragistics, if they are of use to the domestic history”. Since the auxiliary sciences of history in Croatia did not have their own unique specialized publica-tion (for a short while and only for some of them there existed Vitezović – mjesečnik za genealogiju, biografiju, heraldiku i sfragistiku I/1903-1904, II/1905; and Glasnik heraldike – časopis za grboslovlje, rodoslovlje, životopis i pečatoslovlje, I/1937, II/1938), it meant that journal was the focal point for publishing papers regarding epigraphy, palaeography, diplomatics, chronology, egdotics, sphragistics, geneal-ogy, heraldry etc. This paper will examine and present the heraldic themes in The Herald of the Royal Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Land Archives i.e. Archival Jour-nal during a very wide timeframe from the 19th to the 21st century. It will also point out the role and importance of its editor-in-chiefs, as well as numerous archives employees who were also renowned experts in heraldry and other auxil-iary sciences of history, namely, Ivan Bojničić, Emilij Laszowski, Josip Matasović, Josip Buturac, Bartol Zmajić and Petar Strčić.
