The thematic conception of the work consists of legal issues of special forms of control of state administrative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (at the state level, the level of federal units and districts). The paper analyzes the structure of bodies that perform this type of control, starting with the ombudsman institutions (Ombudsman for Human Rights of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ombudsman for Children of Republic of Srpska), and with special reference to the institutions of auditors (of which there are four in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The author will present the organization of these institutions, the election of their members (ombudsmen and auditors), the way they act, and the possibilities they have, as well as the legal mechanisms they can use to protect both citizens and the public interest.

Rad se bavi pitanjem zaštite interesa djeteta u postupku institucionalnog zbrinjavanja u dom za djecu bez roditeljskog staranja kroz implementaciju principa „najbolji interes djeteta“ u centrima za socijalni rad. Namjera autora je bila da se, kroz kvalitativnu analizu, izvrši analiza slučajeva smještaja djece u ustanovu socijalne zaštite kao i metodologije i postupaka koji se sprovode u socijalnoj zaštititi u tim slučajevima. Istraživanje je provedeno prikupljanjem i analizom spisa u Centru za socijalni rad Derventa. U radu je prikazana deskriptivna analiza obilježja slučajeva izdvajanja 26 djece iz 14 porodica u periodu od deset godina (2010 – 2020), te intervencije organa starateljstva. Rezultati su ukazali na zaključak da su djeca izmještena iz razloga postojanja ugroženosti porodičnom situacijom, te da donošenju te odluke prethodi niz opsežnih stručnih postupaka i intervencija. Na kraju je istaknut značaj procjene stručnih radnika organa starateljstva vođenjem principom „najbolji interes djeteta“, te naglašena potrebu unapređenja sistema zaštite djece bez adekvatnog roditeljskog staranja u smislu kadrovskih promjena, sistemskih saradnji, razvoja deinstitucionalizovanog zbrinjavanja djece i unaprijeđenja sistemske podrške porodici.

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.

The development intelligence tools is gaining a new dimension every day, and this is an area of dynamic development. The importance of this paper is to select the tool that represents the best solution for the given needs in public administration. A multi-stage, broad- based survey with clear selection criteria leads to the choice of three tools. 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.

In all areas of society, it is necessary to actively and continuously act on unique (constitutive) rules that apply equally to all and perform non-selective and unprivileged regulation, coordination, organization and limitation of human behavior. These are institutions that can best present their functions. Economics has clearly shown how the real (and even virtual) economic reality works in principle and determined that the role of institutions in society and economy is not only necessary and unavoidable, but also a priority, as a metabasis and meta-mechanism. This paper presents a study of the impact of constitutional (political) rules, economic rules and contracts on the construction of socio-cultural capital. The aim of the research is to prove that all development models that have ignored institutions have proved unsustainable. The constitution has the role of preventing arbitrariness, ie “rule without rules”.

Managing the efficiency of a company and, in connection with that, the choice of the way of measuring efficiency is becoming more and more important, especially in the conditions of a modern business environment characterized by complexity, dynamism, uncertainty and heterogeneity. The company, in addition to being in different business environments, also has its own specifics, so the question arises what it means for a particular company to be efficient and what is an adequate model for measuring the efficiency of that company. In general, a good efficiency measurement system involves a set of performance measures, that is, a metric that quantifies efficiency and effectiveness. The paper presents a review of traditional and new integrated models for measuring the performance of enterprises in the function of control.

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

Simulation in the production process represents the implementation of processes in real-time and space. Current trends are heading towards the implementation and expansion of various types of automated delivery systems in many industrial enterprises. These efforts are supported by requirements to increase reliability, reduce operating costs and time as well as meet operational schedules. The present article pays attention to the use of simulations, which are supporting tools in ensuring the operation of the production process, focusing on the evaluation and planning of the material flow. The first part of the paper presents a theoretical description of problems in the area of application of simulation tools in the production process with a subsequent focus on material flow analysis. The core of the paper presents a description of the analysis of approaches to material flow assessment, using supportive simulation tools in line with the ideas of business digitization. At the end of the article, the overall evaluation and summary of the issue are described.

Even though pesticides constitute a very essential component of improved and modern agriculture, the abuse of pesticides has brought substantial poisoning worldwide, especially in developing countries. This review investigates the possible sources by which people are exposed to pesticides worldwide and the impact on their livelihood. The group who often are exposed to these chemicals includes, farm workers, children, farmers, and family members who have direct link to the pesticide application sites as well as persons who are exposed to these pesticides through the domestic use of waterbodies and consumption of foodstuff or crops sprayed with these pesticides. Central to this review is the critical discussions of the different scientific research findings on health effects and risks related to pesticides usage. Again, organophosphates and organochlorines pesticides are found in most of the pesticide contaminated sites and can remain in soil and waterbodies for a longtime. This work has also provided cases of incidence of carcinogenicity in humans, as a result of pesticides use. We concluded that, breeding or developing insect tolerant or resistant crops may curb the profuse use of pesticides in agriculture.
