Everyone is born with the right to life and the right to live that life with the dignity of a human being and a citizen, to have the right to choose education, place of residence, the right but not the obligation to start a family, the right to earn money and the freedom to dispose of it. Every man and citizen is a woman. However, it hasn't always been like that: The work deals with the position of women in society, and what is reflected on her position and status in the family throughout history and modern times. The main goal of the work is, through a cross-section of the past with a comparative analysis of the contemporary era, to realize productivity and full equality of the sexes in the near future. The work is based on the analysis of a heterogeneous family (the family of a man and a woman).

This paper, based on the documentation from the database of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), is dedicated to the suffering of the "Banja Luka babies", one of the many cases of tragic childhood during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. The case of the agony of new-borns in the Banja Luka Clinical-Medical Centre (CMC) caused controversy in the public. It is the subject of propaganda speculations and various political calculations that do not stop even with the act of presenting the medical documentation of the deceased newborns as exhibits for the defence during the trial of Radoslav Brđanin before the ICTY. Brđanin was found guilty and at the end of the trial sentenced to 30 years in prison for crimes against humanity, violations of laws and customs of war, and serious violations of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.

Plant extracts contain a large number of organic compounds, and one of the large groups of compounds present are phenolic compounds. Researchers have shown that a certain number of these compounds can be used as effective metal corrosion inhibitors. Plant extracts of raspberries (leaves, flowers, and fruit) were obtained by ultrasonic extraction using 96% ethanol as a solvent. The UV/Vis spectrophotometric method was used to determine the content of total phenols in plant extracts. Phenolic acids and flavonoids in plant extracts were separated and quantified using the HPLC method. Tafel extrapolation was used for electrochemical characteristics. The corrosion characteristics and behavior of bronze in 3% NaCl solution, with and without the presence of plant extracts were investigated. The content of total phenols in leaves was found to be 107.14±3.63 mg/g in flowers 148.99±9.02 mg/g and in fruits was 8.75±0.61 mg/g. Leaf extract in a concentration of 0.04828 g/L according to the Tafel extrapolation method provides the best protection for bronze in a 3% NaCl solution. The same concentration in the case of flower and fruit extracts proved to be the most favorable.

The paper deals with taxes and the tax system in Bosnia and Her­zegovina. Modern tax systems are based on taxation of income and con­sumption. For developing countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, the tax­ation of consumption is more dominant than the taxation of income. This means that in such countries the participation of indirect taxes concerning direct taxes is higher. The basic taxation categories in Bosnia and Herzego­vina are corporate income tax, personal income tax, value-added tax, so­cial security contributions, and excises. The taxation system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized by low tax rates. Personal income tax is paid at the rate of 10% which means that we have proportional tax rates. But so­cial security rates are high as follows (employee’s share): 17% for pension in­surance, 12,5% for health insurance and 1,5% for health insurance. We need some fiscal reforms within fiscal policy if we want to have higher salaries and standard of living.

The paper deals with foreign direct investments (FDI) with a spe­cial focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina. Most of the world’s economies are in­terested in FDI, especially today in a globalized society. They can generate new jobs, and contribute to the development of new technology, and their special contribution is reflected in the stimulation of economic growth, development and employment. In recent years, Bosnia and Herzegovina made a lot of effort to attract foreign direct investments as one of the important ways to stimulate economic development and solve the problem of unemployment Considerable progress in this field has been achieved by adjusting the legislation and institutional framework. The costs, procedures and time of registration of craft-entrepreneurial activ­ities have been reduced, and various benefits in the field of customs and tax­es have been provided, which will be presented in the paper
