The existence of international agreements of social security rights regulate the transfer, from one state to another contracting state, of health and social security rights. Although they have existed for many years, the application of the so called, the convention on social security, and the rights derived therefrom, have not yet sufficiently taken root in the work of medical institutions, they represent ignorant and ignore their application. Some medical institutions have greater experience in obtaining benefits from service provision by contracts, but they also have reserves and unused potentials. The provision of services to foreign insurance consumer can be equated with the export of health services, which is given in a domestic institution. The benefits of providing services under international agreements also have a foreign insured person in need of the service, a health institution that receives a new consumer, and health insurance, which can indirectly and sometimes even cheaper, cover the insured event. The aim of this paper is to point out the need for an active approach to the provision of services to foreign policyholders, as well as to implement the contract in the most efficient way possible, and to achieve benefits for the institution and for the service user.

This article discusses the properties of concrete composite materials based on their contexture. Systematic and interactive approaches are required in order to achieve optimal material properties in the preparation of composite materials. In order to predict the physical and mechanical properties of each component of the composite material but also as a whole, its optimization, not only the mechanical but also the material properties under different working conditions, requires a combination of different methods and technologies. The advantage of each composite is its specific properties that cannot be achieved by any component of the composite material alone. The strength of the materials based on polymer concrete mixtures can be compared to the strength properties of metals. On the other hand, this material has elastic properties which give the material a high degree of flexibility. When compared to conventional materials, the value of polymer composites is assessed not only in terms of excellent mechanical properties but also in terms of their low weight and cost. The aim of the paper is to describe the advantages and disadvantages of composites based on polymer concrete mixtures.

The paper examines the current state and the possibilities of using contemporary approaches and tools in HelpDesk systems development with the aim to examine its disadvantages. Disadvantages are accurately analyzed and the paper gives clear guidance how to eliminate them. It has been noticed that current design and development approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. The application of the unified approach that combines the best individual characteristics of the existing approaches enables development of an automated HelpDesk system that is capable of expanding its own expertise. By combining unified aspect approach with the zero tolerance model driven approach, a new innovative approach to the development of a wide range of expert systems is obtained. This innovative approach is characterized by the highest possible degree of modularity. The application of the aforementioned approaches has also enabled expansion and improvement of the existing expert systems used for servicing numerous companies operating in various fields of business.

Political and economic aspects of every country are interconnected and conditioned by each other. The distribution of national sovereignty in all its aspects depends on their balance, short-term goals and long-term visions. Joining the processes of European integration for a country such as Great Britain was a challenge in direct contrast with a strong sense of national identity. Economic development in the single market in the Old Continent attracted the United Kingdom to join the European Communities in 1973 and thus partially sacrifice its national identity for the benefit of economic growth. However, the feeling of uniqueness and orientation toward the Anglo-Saxon tradition in a political and cultural sense caused the constantly lingering Euroscepticism. Global recession and the need for strengthening mutual solidarity in the European market will intensify the reconsideration whether joining the Union was the right decision. Internal political relations, on their own part, contributed to strengthening the campaign against the membership. A referendum was held in 2016 and the British decided that they still wanted to go their own way. From the point of view of economic welfare, this does not seem to be a rational decision. It is evident that after more than four decades a balance between political and economic goals is regained, this time in favor of national identity, although at this moment, a bystander does not see the political justifiability of such decision. A part of British society appears not to see it as well, so the exit process is slow and unpredictable, and the signs of reconsidering the exit decision are also appearing. The only thing that we can claim, with certainty, at this moment (November, 2019) is that nothing is certain. According to the European Court of Justice, The UK can withdraw their decision about leaving the EU at any moment. Such decision should be the topic of deeper strategic analyses, and not short-term political goals. If we were to analyze the foreign policy relations of the Kingdom through history, we will conclude that such an important decision was not made only on the basis of domestic policy dissatisfaction, but that there are some strategic reasons behind it. It is important to know that if the withdrawal from the EU was really to happen, if it will be with or no deal. Economic facts argue for reaching a deal, because while sovereignty and national identity are important, the economic strength determines a political position on the international scene. However, from a purely economic point of view, the best solution is that there is no withdrawal from the UK at all. The ultimate political and economic effects for both sides will depend on the final recomposition of geopolitical and economic relations which are in progress.

In this paper we shall describe how to help individuals, small enterprises and medium sized businesses in commercial or residential property management using IoT (Internet of Things) to manage the energy efficiency. In this work was analyse a system of smart buildings supervision and management. The displayed system will show the principle of operation without the explicit choice of technology. We believe that the choice of technology and platforms depends most on the size of the project and planned resources: big companies can achieve greater savings so they will invest large amount of money; small firms and private individuals have limited budgets so they are closer to hobby DIY solutions.

In the work the author described, for the first time in this region, the psychological profiles of mobbing actors in the military environment. Mobbing actors in the military environment have more specific personality profiles than mobbing actors in the civil sector. So far, there has been mostly talk about mobber and mobbing victims. Mobber has a psychopathic personality structure and is most often at command position, but this is not a rule. The mobbing victim is most often at a lower formational position in the military hierarchy and is, also, mostly subordinate member of the collective. Mobbing victims are in most cases, among the most capable, the most professional people within their formational position and their military evidentiary service. In the same manner, they are motivated for a military call and have a high motivation for achievement. They love their business. They react to stimulating measures. These are the seniors who cause envy of colleagues. Also, they are honest and strictly adhered to military regulations. In their working lives, they have been rewarded and praised many times because of their great results. In the same context, they demonstrate pedantry in work on entrusted tasks and work tasks, respect the deadlines for the execution of tasks, strictly adhere to military regulations, innovation in work and self-initiative. Also, the author described and discovered another profile that belongs to mobbing actors, but which has not been mentioned in theory and practice so far. These are imitators of mobbers. They represent a “security cordon” of mobber, the support group. Mostly they are, from the psychological aspect, simple personality structures. When they enter in the “work of the imitators,” they often translate their observations into the language of their own interests. For them, it is permitted periodic deviations in military behavior. Among the imitators of the mobber there are seniors, who in the past had military “sins,” so that mobber really “keeps them in the hand”. The work is useful for military psychologists, especially for seniors on command positions, who, on the basis of the facts presented, can easily identify the mobbing actors in the military collective and, on the basis of these findings, take adequate measures of prevention.

The subject of the paper is a) an explanation of the term of intelligence, b) a finding of deterioration of the social status (position) of intelligence, and (i) descriptive and hypothetical analysis of the root causes in selected post socialistic countries in South-Eastern Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and Serbia. The aim of the research is to point to the importance of the social role of intelligence, the boundaries of its development in the observed states in socialism and the period of post-socialist transition, as well as the hypothetical research of the perception of the position of intelligence and the intensity of the influence of the basic factors on it. The paper explains in a gradual way the causes and consequences of neglecting the role of intelligence in the observed countries, which have followed a similar developmental path. It shows that this is neither in line with the civilization achievements and intelligence potentials nor with its position in developed countries in which intelligence is a valued profession and social group with a significant political role in society and it is the main bearer of social consciousness. It is the most sophisticated group in society, and in the developed world it has the highest social prestige and authority, as it creates significant achievements in the fields of science, culture, journalism, literature, art and others. As intelligence unites knowledge, truth, moral values and aesthetic judgement, its ignorance can be reasonably understood as denying those principles in society. The hypothesis is that the aggravation of the intelligence position in the countries concerned has been caused by the synergistic influence of the complex braking factors, which have been of political, economic and institutional nature. By using polling method, the initial hypothesis has been hypothetically verified. In conclusion, the authors point to a) the need to improve the position of intelligence and intensify its role in society as a precondition for overcoming the existing institutional, social, economic and general development problems; and b) basic reasons for the position of intelligence. In addition, the survey results of 400 respondents from 60-75 age-old intellectuals in the four observed states hypothetically indicate that they are in a large percentage and sufficiently homogeneous to assess the deteriorating position of intelligence in society as well as its root causes proposed by researchers.

he subject of the paper is to consider the evolution of theoretical approaches to economic rationality as a key principle of economic choice in economic science. Thanks to various theoretical approaches, the category of economic rationality has got a completely different meaning and a much broader meaning than its neoclassical interpretation. The two basic (typical) theoretical models of economic behavior of man are explained and explained: full rationality and limited rationality, which can be irrational (irrational or spontaneous) behavior and institutional (so-called post-rational) behavior. In doing so, a special emphasis is placed on the fragmentation of institutional rationality, which implies institutional pluralism as the most dominant principle of economic and social development. The aim of the paper is to emphasize the importance of institutions in general and for economic development in particular, which is undeniable in contemporary economic literature, as well as the dominance of institutional (post-rational) approach to economic behavior. In addition, the aim of the paper is to briefly explain the underlying reasons for the front, as well as the consequences of non-compliance, respectively the acceptance of monistic institutional improvisations (alternatives of alternative institutions) in place of institutional pluralism. Using the methods of abstraction, induction, deduction, descriptive analysis, and comparisons, the paper attempts to prove the hypothesis that institutional pluralism is the dominant and the only possible modern development principle recommended by non-institutional economic theories (NET), and proves the practice of all economically developed countries in which there is no room for any monistic improvisations (such as neoliberalism, dirigisism, etc.). The plenary emphasizes the beginning of institutional pluralism for social and economic development.

The occurrence of international child abductions is not of a recent age, although the term “abduction” is of a relatively recent date. By studying ancient legal sources (Roman law, rights in ancient Greece, rights in Mesopotamia etc.) legal fragments are found that refer to parents who “take their child”, parents who “keep their child”, parents to whom the child “belongs” or similar. International abduction, or illegal removal of a child from one country to another, is a problem which entails a series of open questions closely related to the child’s personality, while legally speaking, such a phenomenon leads to the conflict of laws and jurisdictions between different states, or the state of the child’s usual residence and state in which the child is taken unlawfully. States tend to come up with the best solutions regulating the conflict of laws and jurisdictions between states, trough the prism of the international law, including the achievements of the Hague Convention on the civil rights aspects of international child abductions.
