Cultures of remembrance that are officially affirmed by national elites in the Western Balkan countries, that is in the former Yugoslavia, are a source of ongoing conflict. Various collective memories and mutually antagonized interpretations of the past, show that Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, Macedonians, Montenegrins and others who lived together for centuries and decades within a single state, after all interpret and remember their common history in completely different ways. Their social narratives about the past and dominant cultures of memory are predominantly selective, one-sided, intolerant, exclusive. After a long time, they lived together members of different ethnic, religious and national backgrounds and their historically unfinished and unsuccessful attempt to form a common Yugoslav culture and unique Yugoslav identity, a difficult civil war occurred, ethno-nationalism escalated, and people who were very close and very similar to one another, tried to create as much difference and distance between themselves through violence. All national communities that participated in the wars of the 1990s, emphasized defending national culture as one of their main tasks. The warring parties sought to destroy everything that reminded them that different people, their neighbors and friends of a different religion were living there. Today, three decades after these conflicts, they are still prisoners of their attitude to history. The culture nevertheless brings them together and inspires them to understand themselves more and to cooperate better.

Criteria for tool evaluation were set, virtual machines were created, tests and analyzes were performed. The evaluations carried out give the choice of the most accepTable business intelligence tool for use and interoperability in public administration.

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.

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

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

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.

Development of information technologies has taken revolution in automation technology. The use of new telecommunication technologies makes possible observing diagnostic parameters from distance and to undertake maintenance activities based on result of observation. In this way is possible to eliminate and prevent a lot of slowdowns – that contributes increase of availability and reliability of machine works

Many modern threaded joints especially in the oil and gas industry, must satisfy high requirements for steel mechanical properties of which they are made. To ensure efficient threading of such hard-to-machine materials (ultimate strength is more than 1250 MPa), it is necessary to use carbide cutting inserts with the negative rake angle at its corner. However, modern manufacturers of such inserts make them only with a zero value of the rake angle. This is due to the difficulty of profiling of the insert cutting edge. This article proposes the basics of such inserts automatic profiling which is based on the algorithm developed by the authors. It includes two corrective calculations of the insert cutting edge profile, namely: the radial displacement of the corner and the tangential displacement of the area forming the crest of the thread. As a result, the computer application with the input parameter of the rake angle and output parameter of the upgraded profile of the insert cutting edge is received.

The conductometric study of ligand structure influence on the Pb(II) complexation with crown ethers in different solvents has been investigated. In this paper, the complexation reaction of macrocyclic ligand, 18-crown-6 (18C6), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), and Pb(II) cation was studied in different solvents: dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2- dichloroethane (1,2-DCE). The effects of surfactant structure (Triton X-100 and Triton X-45) on the conductivity of the Pb(II) complex with 18-crown-6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether have been investigated. The conductance data showed that the stoichiometry of the complexes in most cases is 1:1(ML). It is also demonstrated that the influence of crown ethers is deeply affected by the organic solvent used. In the solvents studied, the stability of the resulting complexes showed higher stability in dichloromethane comparing with 1,2- dichloroethane. Macrocyclic ligand 18-crown-6 showed more suitable for complexation of Pb(II) ions compared to dibenzo-18-crown-6. Adding a surfactant affected the higher absolute values of the conductivity of systems, but not the change in the stoichiometric ratio between a metal ion and macrocyclic ligand.
