Money laundering, in its almost 90-year-long history, has attracted the attention of the scientific, professional, but also the general public. Throughout the entire period, the manifestations of this criminal phenomenon, its typology, etiological factors, etc., have changed, but the essence has remained the same: the transformation of illegally acquired money into legal financial flows. Emerging markets are particularly burdened, which is the subject of this paper: identifying, monitoring and proving the process of money laundering with the aim to reduce it in developing countries. In addition, what can be observed in these markets is that money laundering operations are mainly related to those activities where most of the payments are made in cash. Their specificity, that is, the basic motive for execution, is not just a profit, but the aspiration to introduce “dirty” money into legal flows. The aim of this paper is to use the method of description to explain and describe scientifically the money laundering process and to combat this phenomenon with a focus on the characteristics of the money laundering process. In addition, the paper describes the models and weaknesses of this process, while at the same time it respects the standards and specifics of business operations in emerging markets. The result of the paper is that it provides an overview of money laundering in the 21st century in small and open economies, including proposals to prevent and combat this negative phenomenon.

Abstract Background: The subject of this research is the creation of an optimal school bench design with the aim of determining the most favorable posture of students while sitting, taking into account the relevant ergonometric and biomechanical characteristics of the human body. For the proposed model of the school bench which allows adjusting the different slopes of its surface, the corresponding computer model of the student and the table was first created, and then biomechanical and RULA analysis was performed in order to determine the maximum load in the lumbar part. Next, for each test subject of given weight, it was necessary to determine the amount of maximum load in lumbar zone L3/L4 for different slope angles and to determine the critical angles at which the maximum permissible load of 3400 N is reached.

This paper presents a low-cost, single sensor autonomous mobile robot. The proposed system is able to map an indoor environment, while at the same time localizing itself within it, and solving the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) problem using data gathered from the sensor. It is able to navigate the environment, choosing safe paths for exploration based on the data acquired by mapping and localization. The system is based on commercially available, in-expensive hardware, while the software is developed with open-source ROS (Robot Operating System) packages. The ability for autonomous navigation of the proposed system has been verified through real-world experiments. The system offers a simple to build platform, which can easily be extended.

Although the Internet has become the essence of communication, from an advertiser’s perspective digital advertising remains underexplored. This paper examines the effects of digital media buying efforts on advertisers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while looking into the methodology of digital media usage behind the actual effects. A combination of secondary research analysis and qualitative research techniques was used. The empirical part is based on in-depth interviews with advertisers and representatives from the digital advertising industry.Perceptions and knowledge of digital advertising are the key drivers for a successful implementation of digital media buying, and advertisers in Bosnia and Herzegovina are aware of its most distinctive qualities. The success of the media buying campaigns relies on brand objectives and choosing the means suited for fulfilling the given goals, which in turn leads to the findings that the focus of companies’ strategies is directed towards the cost-efficient medium usage, rather than solely performance-oriented ones. Measurement of the effects and return on the investment depends on the success of setting up a goal and isolating digital from other marketing efforts.

We clarify open issues in relating low- and high-energy observables, at next-to-leading order accuracy, in models with a massive leptoquark embedded in a flavor nonuniversal SU(4)×SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) gauge group. Extending previous work on this subject, we present a complete analysis of the O(αs) corrections to the matching conditions of semileptonic operators at the high scale. These corrections are not negligible, but they do not exceed the 10% level and are subleading compared to the O(α4) corrections proportional to the leading leptoquark coupling, which is expected to be much larger than the QCD coupling in the parameter space region of phenomenological interest. We further analyze the impact of radial modes, both at O(α4) and at O(αs) accuracies, highlighting their role in the renormalization of the theory.

: This paper presents a hydraulic analysis of unsteady flow due to a possible dam break of the Tribistovo reservoir located in the Municipality of Posušje, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Flood wave propagation is calculated and flood maps are derived for different dam break scenarios. The methodology adopted for the development of the flood wave propagation model is based on the use of available tools for collection, processing and graphical display of geospatial data and tools for hydrodynamic modeling of transient flow. The selected approach is conservative and results are, as a rule, the worst case scenarios. Flood areas are obtained on the basis of hydraulic calculations with the most unfavorable assumptions: maximum water level in the reservoir, maximum inflow in the reservoir (with the return period of T = 10 000 years), instantaneous/gradual and total dam break, all of which result in extreme flooding.
