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.

DENTAL IMPLANT MATERIAL (POLYETHERETHERKETONE, TITANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS, ZIRCONIA)

The goal of this article is to inform the reader of three distinct types of biomedical materials applied in the production of dental implants, focusing on characteristics and categorizations of biomaterials based on: titanium (Ti + its alloys), commercially manufactured synthetic polymers (polyetheretherketone) and ceramic materials (zirconium dioxide). Considering the development and construction of implants, specific material requirements are named (mechanical properties), corrosion resistance, compatibility, morphology, etc. Each of these materials represents a specific group of biomedical materials and has a number of advantages. However, in relation to the differences in their nature (metal, plastic, ceramic base), it is necessary to approach the choice of material for dental implants with respect to the specific implant design and the patient’s health limitations.

TESTING OF SMALL HOUSEHOLD BIOMASS BOILERS FROM THE ASPECT OF WASTE GAS EMISSIONS

The use of biomass for energetic purposes is actual issue from different aspect of views, such as economy, used technologies, combustion specifications, environmental issues, etc. Different types of biomass are available on the market today. During the combustion process in furnaces, these types of biomass behave differently due to their specific physicochemical properties. In this research, used biomass types were wood biomass, soybean straw and chamomile waste from medicinal herbs processing. Pellet combustion was performed in a commercial furnace that was designed to heat the living space by burning wood pellets. Furnace was installed with measurement system for emissions of combustion products. The current law regulation of the Republic of Srpska in the field of environmental protection does not include testing of emissions of combustion products for plants with power less than 100 kW. In this research, the influence of pellet type on concentrations of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides was investigated, as well as the volume content of oxygen in the waste gas for plants with power less than 100 kW. Also, it was investigated whether the addition of additives (clay, kaolinite, bentonite), used to improve the melting characteristics of ash, has an effect on reducing the emission of combustion products. The results obtained by measuring the gas emissions are compared with the standard EN 14785 which is related to the emission of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. During this research, characteristic of ash left after combustion of tested pellets was examined. According to these examinations, it can be pointed out that potential problems can occur when burning these types of pellets in small household heating furnaces.

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
