THE INTERACTION OF FAMILY AFFECTIVE ATTACHMENT AND PASSIVE DEPENDENCE IN PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS

The paper has the main goal to determine whether there is a statistically significant connection between early created affective relationship between parents and children and later partner relationships. The research was conducted on a sample of 136 respondents, 75 women and 61 men. The following questionnaires were used in this research: a structured questionnaire for sociodemographic and family data (gender, education, marital status, completeness of the family, family functionality, upbringing, alcoholism in the family during childhood and psychiatric diseases), a questionnaire about family affective attachment and the scale of passive dependence in partner relationships. The data were collected via social networks. The research results confirmed tre expected frequency distribution of the four patterns of affective attachment in our sample. Also, it was shown that respondents of different patterns of family affective attachment discriminate in the level of passive dependence in partner relationships. According to the data obtained through statistical processing, respondents with an occupied attachment pattern achieve the highest scores on the Questionnaire of Passive Dependence in Partner Relationships, while securely attached respondents achieve the lowest scores. Although insecurely attached subjects achieved higher scores on the mentioned questionnaire than securely attached subjects, this difference was not statistically significant, and that is why our third hypothesis was rejected.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PERCEPTION OF MOBBING AND WELL-BEING AT WORK FEMALE EMPLOYEES

Mobbing is a behaviour whose aim is to underestimate and degrade other human beings by means of malevolent language and obscure cruel acts, which gradually undermine one’s proper functioning and affect both one’s mental and physical health (Kostelić-Martić, 2005). Well-being at work refers to all aspects of employees’ workplace life, from how they feel, what their working environment is like, safety at work including physical and psychological safety, job satisfaction, involvement in work and the position they have in the organization. The research problem refers to the examination of the connection between the perception of mobbing and the well-being at work of employees. Individuals who perceive mobbing as present in the organization and who are exposed to this type of stress, have impaired well-being. According to earlier findings, mobbing significantly affects the well-being of individuals at work in a way that impairs it, whereby they experience various psychological disturbances and are thrown out of work activities, because they stop adequately performing work tasks. Also, people who experience mobbing have a decline on motivation, work efficiency, a drop in the feeling of fulfillment, loss of trust, they complain of fatigue and feelings of anger and frustration. Two measurement instruments were used in the research: the mobbing perception scale and the Work Well-being Scale – WBWS, which have satisfactory measurement characteristics. The survey was conducted via an anonymous internet questionnaire, and a representative sample of employees in Bosnia and Herzegovina was used (n=273). The data thus obtained indicates that, statistically, the perception of mobbing is significantly negatively related to well-being (rho=-.382, p<.01), and its two aspects: positive affects (rho=-.531, p<.01), a feeling of fulfillment (rho=-.337, p<.01), and positively related to the negative effects aspect (rho=.592, p<.01), which confirms both the starting hypothesis and its sub-hypotheses. The perception of mobbing in the workplace negatively affects the well-being at work, i.e. higher levels of subjective perception of mobbing go hand in hand with lower levels of well-being at work. Furthermore, higher levels of the perception of mobbing are accompanied with lower levels of positive affects and feeling of fulfillment, and higher levels of negative affects.

Although the consequences of mobbing are felt, to the greatest extent, on an individual level, there are inevitable negative consequences on the organizational level as well. As mobbing has a negative effect on the well-being at work of an individual, it also adversely affects the work and results of the entire organization.

ELIMINATION OF INTERFERENCE WITH WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS THROUGH BINARY SYMMETRICAL CHANNELS

This paper presents the binary symmetric channel as a common model of the communication channel used in theory of coding and theory of information. Since there is no noise in the channel, the data transmission delay is very small, which is why data can be transmitted quickly and in real time, without many errors, which greatly determines its practical application. Therefore, the theoretical basis of the functioning of the channel itself and its practical advantages will be presented in the text. The concept of binary coding will also be explained with the use of block codes that create the possibility of correcting eventual errors, as well as the application of a binary symmetric channel in improving signal interference when using a wireless network.

THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY

Understanding elliptic curves contributed to solving mathematical problems in number theory that had been unsolved for centuries. Elliptic curves were also used in solving one of the millennial problems, which is Fermat's last theorem. They are also connected with many hypotheses and problems in mathematics that have yet to be solved. Elliptic curves defined over finite fields are widely used in public key cryptography, since they have proven to be groups that have the best properties for implementing the Diffie-Hellman protocol. This article provides an overview of the theoretical assumptions that are necessary for the development of cryptographic algorithms based on elliptic curve cryptography, which includes defining elliptic curves, defining the properties of arithmetic operations on elliptic curves used in cryptography with reference to curves defined over finite fields.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICE ASSESSMENT CENTER ON THE INDONESIAN NATIONAL POLICE IN SUPPORTING OF OPEN PROMOTION

The way to clarify the concept of the human resources competence of The Indonesian National Police (POLRI) is believed to be a key factor in determining the success of the police organization. Currently, POLRI has implemented an open position promotion program which one of the stages uses the Assessment Center to exam managerial competence. This research aims to analyze the policies and impact of assessment center implementation in supporting of the open positions promotion. The Researchers apply qualitative approaches with data collection techniques in the form of observations, interviews and document studies. The results of the study findings concluded that the Assessment Center implementation policy in support of open promotion in the narrow sense has been implemented although incomplete. In a broad sense, the implementation of assessment center policies in supporting of open promotion has not been successful and has not given a positive impact. This is because The Indonesian National Police as a bureaucratic organization, does not fully have the organizational capacity that is the backbone of bureaucracy, which involves: organizational structure; mechanism of work; human resources; financial support as well as resources needed to work. These four elements have not been able to realize optimal conditions and support each other.

COLLABORATIVE GOVERNANCE IN MOBILIZING VILAGE-OWNED ENTERPRISES (BUMDes) DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN INDONESIA

Village – Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) was developed to increase the village revenue and drive the people’s economy through resource and village asset management. The existence of BUMDes is expected to improve village potential and become a pillar of the community’s economy. Not only oriented on increasing the village local revenue, but BUMDes must also have a social mission to help the villagers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study method employed was descriptive qualitative, and the data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants were selected through purposive sampling out of the various parties related to BUMDes in the Polanharjo Sub-district, Klaten District. The results of the study showed that the mass development of BUMDes as a top-down policy without any consideration of the local potential of each village has caused a lack of support from the community and has led to the lack of development of BUMDes, making many lapses into a stasis. However, there are a few BUMDes that were able to develop well, making them a motor for the village economy during the COVID-19 pandemic through their various business enterprises. The BUMDes units that have succeeded to grow and develop are those that could identify the local potentials and resources through various innovations, receive social support through their people’s participation and build partnerships with many parties such as the village government, private sector, and the community in the form of collaborative governance.

MONEY LAUNDERING AS A DESTABILIZING FACTOR OF A SOCIETY

As a potential candidate for membership in the European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country committed to the Euro-Atlantic integration process has committed itself to strengthening the rule of law and strengthening institutions in the field of justice and home affairs. One of the important activities in this process is the adoption and implementation of public policies in the field of combating money laundering, bearing in mind that this social scourge in its manifestations is the greatest threat to the stability and smooth functioning of a country. Money laundering is a global problem of the twenty-first century. As a form of economic crime, the money laundering process is represented both nationally and internationally. 
Although there are a large number of definitions of money laundering, it can be said that it consists of shorter or longer movements of funds acquired through illegal activities, in order to obtain seemingly legal means through the cycle of transformation. The complexity of the fight against money laundering and the problems of combating various forms of money laundering go beyond the possibilities and efforts undertaken by the competent authorities and government institutions. All countries should go ahead of money launderers, that is, they should go ahead in designing and prescribing methods and ways of fighting, but they should also not allow criminals to use a corrupt and unregulated institutional framework and gain lucrative money laundering income.

PSYCHODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MURDER WITH INCESTIOUS BACKGROUND

Incest as a sexual behavior psychiatry observes solely as a psychopathological phenomenon. The essence of incest is in sexual contact between close relatives, and the causes of its occurrence are in a personality of sex offenders and also in an environment in which they grew up. According to Freud, the incest taboo is one of the strongest prohibitions of the mankind, which characterize every culture. In the world of schizophrenic, incest which is committed (or from which they defend themselves) is usually that is considered a serious sin by people and which is rare among healthy population, and that is: incest between mother and son, and between brother and sister. So far researches emphasize that incest usually causes strong emotional trauma from which some phobias, depression, anxious states can be developed and other psychiatric disorders. The case of murder in family is analyzed in this task. Incestuous relationships determined a form and content of the patient’s clinical picture which was burdened with deep feelings of guilt, anxiousness, fear and depression, with homicide and suicide behavior.
