THE ASSESSMENT OF THE FILAMENT EXTRUDER EQUIPMENT FOR 3D PRINTING METHOD
The objective of this study is to allow a better understanding of the role of industry 4.0 technologies, especially filament extrusion technology in the reduction of costs, environmental impact, energy consumption, and the possibility to expand the range of printable materials. The study focuses on the desktop Filament Extruders available in the market now, where these machines are assessed and future possible modifications for these apparatuses are presented. The research leading to the publication of this study consists of a review of the existing literature, in addition, information from different extruders manufacturers’ websites has been used. The study has demonstrated that the extrusion of material at home is still not an exact science, and the process ends up costing the user large sums of money over time. However, there are still limitations to the use of this technology such as the lack of standardized extrusion settings, the necessity of pre-drying the pellets, and the complexity of the extruder cleaning process after each use.

OFFERING SERVICES BASED ON DATA WAREHOUSE AS A NEW TREND IN THE WORK OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
The subject of the research is the analysis of services that should be offered by public administration toward legal entities and natural persons. We will suggest that it uses real-time intelligent IT systems based on data storage based on the data warehouse. Our opinion is that such systems implemented in the public administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina could offer an appropriate service to each user at a time when they need the service in a form that suits them, on the spot where he is in the moment of delivery and in the quantity that he needs. In order for a public administration to be able to offer an appropriate service, it must know its users much better and know which service they need at what time. In this paper, we analyze self-service as well as the necessary activities for all that. These are all activities that should be carried out in the future, and this work could contribute to the implementation of these processes.

GENDER DIFFERENCES OF SOCIOSEXUAL ORIENTATION IN THE CONTEXT OF PERSONALITY TRAITS
Sociosexuality is a term that explains differences in individuals ’willingness to engage in sexual intercourse without intimacy, fidelity, and other determinants of emotional connection. The aim of this study was to examine how the dimensions of personality traits are related to sociosexual orientation in women and men in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research was conducted on a sample of 430 respondents, aged 18 to 71 from BiH. Data were collected using three instruments: the Socio-Demographic Questionnaire, the Big Five Plus Two Personality Trait Questionnaire (VP + 2) and the Sociosexual Orientation (SOI) Questionnaire. Adequate statistical methods were used to estimate the difference between the group and the computational correlation. The results partially confirmed the hypotheses. Men are less restrictive than women and their liberality contributes to aggression, negative and positive valence. Women are noticeably restrictive, the personality dimensions associated with it are conscientiousness and negative valence.

B&H CITIZENS’ PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDES ABOUT CORRUPTION IN THE WORKPLACE
Corruption is undoubtedly present everywhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in all pores of society and on an increasing scale. The fight against corruption is a great challenge for the most developed countries in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that Bosnia and Herzegovina, burdened by political problems and poverty, finds it difficult to find effective mechanisms to combat this extremely negative phenomenon. The reasons for poor results in the prosecution of corrupt crimes range from the very nature of the phenomenon of corruption, which is shrouded in secrecy due to the interests of participants, which makes it difficult to disclose, to insufficiently good institutional and legal solutions. The aim of this paper is to determine the awareness of B&H citizens about corruption in the workplace and the way they relate to corruption in everyday life, but also to analyze the performance of state institutions in preventing and combating corruption. Based on the defined problem to be investigated and the set goals, the methodology used during the research was determined. The scientific-research character of this paper is based on the analysis of relevant scientific literature and modern sources using the methods of examination, methods of analysis, methods of comparison, methods of description and methods of deduction.

FABRICATION OF TEMPERATURE AND pH SENSITIVE BIOPOLYMER/CLAY BIOCOMPOSITE AS DRUG CARRIER FOR RANITIDINE – HCl
The scientific studies on drug delivery systems that transport drugs to the targeted tissues, at a certain rate and desired time intervals, have gained popularity. The main goal of the drug delivery and release systems is to maintain the drug level in the blood plasma by balancing the amount of active ingredient. In this study, pH and temperature sensitive drug carriers were prepared using chitosan as a biopolymer and clay as a natural material. The characterization of the prepared materials was performed for structural analysis by FT-IR and for morphological analysis by SEM instruments. The swelling properties of the prepared materials were investigated. In this work, Ranitidine-HCl was used as a model drug. The prepared drug carriers were first loaded with Ranitidine-HCl and release properties of the materials were investigated at two different temperatures (25oC, 37oC) and various pH medium. The data obtained from the experiments indicated that the maximum release of Ranitidine–HCl from the prepared sample was observed at pH=7,6 buffer solution at both temperatures by comparing buffer solutions. It has been shown that the materials prepared in this study are suitable carriers for the Ranitidine-HCl drug active ingredient.

INFLUENCE OF SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS ON MOTIVATION FOR WORK
Every organization is made up of employees who can be its great strength but also a weakness, and the results, quality of work and achievement of organizational goals are largely determined by the behavior of the people who make it up. One of the key factors that influence the behavior of people in general, as well as the behavior in the work organization and attitude towards work are motives. Starting from the fact that human behavior is driven by different motives, that different people have different structure of motives and needs, the aim of this research is aimed at conducting the segmentation of employees in selected businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina, engaged in different types of activities and of different structures of equity, according to socio-demographic factors – gender, age of respondents, years of service, marital status, type of education, the amount of monthly income of employees and the amount of family monthly income of employees. Also, the goal is to determine whether there are significant differences in the motives of individual groups (segments) of employees and how such indicators can contribute to the creation of an adequate motivational strategy within the work organization

EARLY FAMILY INTERACTIONS IN CASE OF SEXUAL DELINQUENTS
It is the fact that sexual deviations and delicts are present in all cultures and within all peoples during the whole history of mankind and this have always caused the attention of theoreticians in their quest for its roots. Having on mind this fact, we have analysed the family dynamics during early childhood of sexual delinquents through the search for the differences in perceived parental acceptance or rejection, family affective attachment and accepted script injunctions – in relation to healthy examinees. The research is based on sample of 42 examinees categorised in two groups: a group of sexual delinquents and a group of examinees from general population without psychological disorder diagnosis. The analyses of perceived index of parental acceptance is carried out by Rohner PAR-Q questionnaire, for the determination of affective attachment patterns we use modified Brennan questionnaire for the estimation of family affective attachment, while level and the nature of acquired script injunctions have been asnalysed by the Scale of script injunctions. The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding dominating patterns of family affective attachment with more dominant insecure attachment in the group of sexual offenders. Too, one of the characteristics of this group is above average exposure to the existence injunction, value injunction, Don`t be a child injunction, and health injunction, while differences regarding perceived index of parental acceptance/rejection are not statistically significant

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION – STILL FAR AWAY FROM INTEGRATION
The aim of this paper is to get acquainted with the process of integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the European Union. On May 26, 1999, the Commission presented a proposal to initiate the so-called Stabilization and Association Process. This was approved at the meeting of the Council of the European Union in Luxembourg on June 21, 1999. The Stabilization and Association Process was formalized at the Zagreb Summit in 2000, at which the Union reaffirmed its desire to contribute to the consolidation of democracy and to give decisive support to the process of reconciliation and cooperation between the countries of the Western Balkans. The term Western Balkans is political and is used to distinguish this group of countries from previous ones that have already established relations with the European Union. Methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, description, compilation and content analysis were used in the research. The research shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina still does not sufficiently meet the criteria relating to the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities, set by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993. Bosnia and Herzegovina must align its constitutional framework with European standards and ensure the functionality of its institutions in order to be able to take on the Union’s obligations. In this regard, it is necessary to reform the institutions so that they can effectively participate in decisionmaking at EU level and implement and enforce the acquis.
