    ABSTRACT

    MATERIALS SCIENCE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IMPORTANT FACTOR IN DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE Carmen Daniela DOMNARIU, Mihaela CERNUC-MIARIU, Minerva BOITAN .............................................................................................................5 Key words: health care, culture, organization, patient, quality Abstract: Organizational culture in health care systems has gained increased consideration as an important factor influencing the quality of health care. It is related to the performance of health care units, job satisfaction and implicitly, to clinical effectiveness.(1) The relevance and importance of organizational culture in supporting quality health care are highlighted through a series of structural aspects at the level of an organization under the form of types of management and human factors. The health care system places the patient in its centre and the major aim of any health care service provider is to ensure the patients a corresponding level of health and safety. The organizational culture in health systems is closely related to the culture of safety. Safety, good communication, good management styles and good working relationships among the members of a health organization are prerequisites to deliver high-quality health services. BEHAVIOR OF PHOTO - POLYMERISABLE COMPOSITES SURFACES, USED IN RESTORATION ODONTOTHERAPY Gabriela BOA, Andreea Angela TEIU, Mircea TEIU, Mihaela CERNUC-MIARIU .............................................................................................................8 Key words: composites, roughness, finishing Abstract: The work studies the roughness of the composite materials surfaces used in dental restorations. The importance to know the behaviour of the composite materials after mechanical finishing has a real impact on the restorations reliability, as well as in stopping the apparition of the secondary pathology. The same behavior of the same material on different regimes imposes the dentist to know the limits and the finishing regime he has chosen for the best result. The life of a restoration with composite materials is translated through the unaltered preservation of the chromatic aspects, the preservation of a correct side closing, without micro spaces between the obturation and the dental preparation; the assurance of finest surfaces possible, to avoid the formation of microbial deposits and, last but not least, the conferring of a functional and stable morphology, during time, to the obturation-tooth ensemble. The after finishing surfaces state is responsible for the time preservation of the colour as well as for the stopping or favouring of bacterial plaque deposits, implicitly the appearance of the periodontal pathology appearance. This work is an alert for the dentist concerning the importance of restoration works finishing and we give practical solutions for different composite materials.

    ...........................................................................................................12 Key words: flipstepper withsteel structure,hydraulic cylinderandcomputer display; lateral stepperwithsteel structure; rehabilitation;questionnaire;spa resorts;wellnessandspa services Abstract: This paper is part of a documentary approach to an international project that aims to train specialists in the wellness and spa sector. The purpose is the implementation of the e-learning system to diversify, improve and promote new methods of learning, using the support provided by the cutting-edge and effective technology related to prophylactic and rehabilitation services in wellness and spa centres.

    LASERS IN THE TREATMENT OF CARIOUS LESIONS Dana Cristina BODNAR, Traian BODNAR ...........................................................................................................14 Key words: laser, DIAGNOdent, ablation, prevention Abstract: In recent decades,conservative treatmentin odontology has evolved spectacularly. Today there are unconventional treatment methods, which tend to replace conventional, classical treatments. The laser is part ofthese unconventional, special methods, allowing the detectionof dental caries (DIAGNOdent, laserspectroscopy), the detection of the earliest stage of demineralisation, as well as the assessment of the carious lesion development in the enameland/ordentine (cavitary lesions). The detection allows the orientation of therapy towards minimally invasivemethods. Ifinvasive therapeutic interventionis necessary, the laser enables the ablationof the dentalhard tissuesaffected bycarieswithout painand withoutvibration, at high speedand with high precision. Lasers are also employed in enhancing theenamel resistance to demineralisationprocesses, procedure performed following precise protocols. Thus, technological progresshas made possible for suchergonomic, simplified andpainless methods to be employed in detecting, preventing and treating dental caries. However, special attention should be paid to the risk sand precautions that are necessary inthe dental office during such procedures. THE ROLE OF POTASSIUM IN THE TREATMENT OF DENTINAL HYPERSENSITIVITY Dana Cristina BODNAR, Traian BODNAR ...........................................................................................................18 Key words: dentine, dentinal tubules, dentinal pain, K+, desensitisation Abstract: Dentinal hypersensitivity is a condition that has affected more and more people, irrespective of gender and age. In this paper we try to explain the dentinal hypersensitivity morphophysiological substrate and production mechanisms. There are many and varied treatment methods employed in the case of this condition, and they can be applied by the patient at home or by the dental practitioner in the dental office. Various techniques and active principles are used, after the stages of the treatment have been precisely established. Out of the substances and active principles used in treatment, we present the toothpaste containing K+ as KCl. Many studies conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness have shown that after 8 weeks of brushing using this toothpaste, dentinal hypersensitivity is significantly reduced and the patient comfort is enhanced. In this paper we try to explain the mechanism by which K+ produces significant reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity.

    ATTACHMENT SYSTEMS FOR MANDIBULAR IMPLANT OVERDENTURES: A THREE DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR THE SPHERICAL BLUNT ELLIPTICAL MATRIX Camelia IONESCU, Ion PATRASCU ...........................................................................................................21 Key words: dental implant, retention, overdenture, retentive system, finite element Abstract: The object of this study is the treatment of local aspects related to the design of special systems used in overdenture, especially the method where the functional parameters of such a system can be determined. Testing several constructive versions with relatively low cost is possible using modern methods of numerical simulation. By using these methods the design is carried out in a virtual environment and the high costs that are involved in prototypes testing and carrying out are eliminated. Designing by means of the finite element method for the spherical blunt-elliptical matrix in total mandibular implant overdenture has been used. The numerical simulation has fairly surprised the phenomenon because the value of the retention force and its variation in time are close to the data showed in catalogues. The analysis demonstrated that at the

ECONOMIC CRISIS IN THE WESTERN BALKANS Radmilo NIKOLI, Aleksandra FEDAJEV, Dejan RIZNI, Zvonko DAMNJANOVI, Andon KOSTADINOVI ...........................................................................................................54 Key words: economic crisis, Western Balkans, transition processes, market economy. Abstract : A few years ago, the world was faced once again with the economic crisis, according to many, similar to that in 30-ies of last century. Firstly, it emerged in the most developed economies, and then it spilled over, with the greater or lesser intensity, to the other countries on the planet. Western Balkan economies have been facing a crisis for more than two decades, specifically since the 90-ies. The reasons for this are, first of all, political events such as the collapse of former Yugoslavia, inter-ethnic wars, UN sanctions, border disputes, etc. It required a lot of time, effort and hard work, and, above all, the political climate, for economic stabilization and recover of new countries. Some progress achieved in the meantime, was stopped by the first wave of the crisis in 2008. Today, the Western Balkan region is, certainly, economically the least developed territory in Europe.

    Abstract: There are numerous static systems when it comes to classic roof constructions. In most common cases for making of load-bearing wooden constructions are applied the stools and hangers. What was present in so far designing practice, as well as in technical literature, when it concerns to these constructions, was that in calculation process they were treated just as the final completing design is doing in statical sense. There were not taken into consideration the static systems through which are passing some constructive elements of load-bearing wooden construction - stage of work of the constructive element from its mounting until the whole construction is not going to be formed, respectively the foreseeble static scheme. In the study was provided an example of performed double hangers, also were given shortcomings of previous access in calculation of this constructive system and suggestions for future calculations of hangers. There were proposed the stages of work of constructive elements of the double hangers, so that the final impacts of the elements are obtained by superposition of individual impacts by stages of work, depending on the performance of technologies. For presented and load-bearing construction hangers are used two materials: steel and wood. From steel is made a tie rod while the other constructive elements of hangers are made of massive wood.

INFLUENCE OF MN OXIDES ON CHEMICAL STATE AND LEACHING OF CHROMIUM IN EAF SLAG Feng WANG, Qixing YANG, Anjun XU, Bo BJRKMAN

    ...........................................................................................................88 Key words: EAF slag, chromium, melting, leaching Abstract: In order to study the influences of Mn oxides on Cr in Electronic Arc Furnace (EAF) slag produced in a stainless steelmaking plant. To simulate EAF slags, two synthetic slags (slag A and slag B) were prepared through melting the two groups of reagent-grade compounds, respectively. The phase composition of samples was characterized by means of XRD. In addition, the slags with different particle size and some mixture were leached following Europe standard procedure. There was only one main compound MgCr2O4 found in spinel phase in slag A. While there were two compounds MgCr2O4 and Mn2AlO4 co-existed in spinel phase in slag B, in which Mn and Cr occupy the octahehral sites. For leaching tests, the influence of different factors, such as slag types, slag particles size, mixed manganese oxides, were studied in detail. The leaching result shows that MnO2 melted in slag is the most important factor for improving Cr leaching. But Mn oxides mixed in Mn-free slag have a little influence on Cr leaching ANALYSIS ON THE MOTION MODEL ACCURACY OF A NOVEL PLANAR MECHANISM BASED ON PARALLEL MECHANISM Yin CHAO, Hu TAO, Chen YONG, Cui PENG ...........................................................................................................93 Key words: planar mechanism; position error; accuracy Abstract: The planar mechanism is a kind of 3-DOF mechanism that allows it to complete two vertical movements and to rotate around the vertical direction.

    experience of using virtual environments for collaborative distance learning. Proposed laboratory applies the project-based learning methodology that engages students into integrating forensic theory with practice. The analysis of laboratory use, together with the observed fact that students tend to spend much time in Virtual Reality (VR), justify the choices taken in development of DF-lab and orientation towards integrating virtual environment with reality. The proposed model is designed to address the limitations of existing virtual laboratories or simulators used as a part in distance learning practice, as evidenced by qualitative and quantitative evaluations given at the end of this research. Efficiency is measured by comparing the students final results, presented in virtual and real labs. Quality is improved through student interactions, suggestions, and the pedagogical diagnosis of the students' behaviors.

APPLICATION OF AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF MEDICINES AND MEDICAL ACCESSORIES Marjan MIREVSKI, Radivoje ANDJELKOVI, Danko JOVANOVI, Velibor JOVANOVI, .........................................................................................................112 Key words: medicines, cold chain, supply chain, automatic identification technologies Abstract: Expansive growth of the pharmaceutical market has resulted in the need for a greater safety of medicines which pass through the supply chain. Supply chains of medicines which require special temperature conditions of storage and transportation take a prominent place. Systematic approach to the preservation of the qualitative properties of thermally unstable products along the supply chain, from the producer to the end user, includes cold chain. Automatic identification technologies have found a wide area of application in the supply chains of medicines and medical accessories. Through their media, they provide a key level of supplies transparency throughout the supply chain. The defence system of the Republic of Serbia which has limited resources should optimise its supply chains and adjust them to the needs of its users in order to improve its operational efficiency. NORMATIVE - LEGAL PROTECTION OF WATER Zaklina SPALEVIC, Mirjana KNEZEVIC, Dusko DIMITRIJEVIC .........................................................................................................117 Key words: Water Framework Directive of the European Parliament and the Council (2000/60/EC), Water Protection and Preservation in the EU and RS, Right to Healthy Environment, National Water Legislation. Abstract: Water Framework Directive belongs to the basic EU legislation; it regulates water protection and preservation in Europe and ensures its long-term quality use through precisely determined standards that member states must reach by the set deadlines. The Directive applies to surface, transitional, coastal and ground waters. Water protection in the Republic of Serbia is legally regulated by means of the Law on Environmental Protection and the Law on Waters. The Law on Environmental Protection prescribes the adoption of the National strategy for sustainable management of natural resources and domains and of the National program of environmental protection as basic strategic documents. This law introduces the category of special state interest area in the field of environmental protection. The Government is the competent authority which establishes the criteria and identifies the area of special state interest in the domain of environmental protection and

    determines the amount and manner of payment of the compensation for environmental pollution in these areas. The Law on Waters regulates the legal status of waters, integrated water management, management of water objects and land, sources and the manner of financing water management as well as other issues pertaining to water management. The existing legislation should represent a foundation for further legal work in the field, in order to ensure water quality, water management, irrigation and drought management. Harmonization of the legislation of the Republic of Serbia with the legislation of the European Union, which primarily concerns more intense environmental protection, is developing in the direction of conforming to the understanding of water as a strategic resource in Europe.

TRANSMISSION EFFECT OF INTERNATIONAL RICE PRICE VOLATILITY ON CHINA MARKET Majid PRAMANIK, Lu QIAN .........................................................................................................134 Key words: Rice, Price, International, China, market Abstract: This paper aimed to make an empirical understanding on relationship between domestic and international rice markets on price volatility and their transmission effect by using error correction model and vector autoregressive model. The study carried out by using monthly data from February 2006 to March 2011. The results showed that the long term fluctuation of domestic rice price is mostly caused by inflation. In the short term, the variability of world rice price is the Granger cause of domestic rice fluctuation. When domestic rice price departs from equilibrium price by suffering some distraction then it will converge towards equilibrium state by an opposite force. World rice price affects domestic rice price through foreign trade and futures way has a more prominent transmission effect to domestic rice price.

    IMPACT OF FARMERS MANAGEMENT CHARACTERISTICS ON TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF RICE FARM IN BANGLADESH Mita BAGCHI, Yao SHUNBO .........................................................................................................142 Key words: Technical efficiency, scale efficiency, managerial characteristics, rice farm, Bangladesh. Abstract: This study aims to estimate technical efficiency and scale efficiency of rice farm in Bangladesh using the computer program FRONTIER 2.1. Estimation is carried out by detailed primary data collected for 100 rice farms in 11 villages. Variation in technical efficiency also explained by some managerial and farm characteristics. The result revealed that the mean technical efficiency 0.77, suggest that farmers have the opportunities to increase the output or decreases the inputs, given the existing technology and resource in the study areas and majority of farm are operation on decreasing returns to scale. Moreover, the farmer who have contact with agricultural extension workers and more managerial experience and concern for maintaining the environment are associated with higher level of technical efficiency while increasing farm size and education negatively influence the technical efficiency. Empirical findings suggest that policy should be taken to improve farmers education level and strengthen the extension service and farmers training program to increase the technical efficiency. LEACHABILITY AND SPECIATION OF HEAVY METALS AND FLUORINE IN ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE SLAG Xiang ZHANG, Guojun MA, Chenhui WANG .........................................................................................................149 Key words: EAF steelmaking slag, heavy metals, fluorine, chemical speciation, leachability Abstract: The leachability and speciation of heavy metals and fluorine in the EAF steelmaking slags were studied. The results show that most abundant elements in EAF stainless steel (SS) slag are Si, Mg and Ca, while the main components of EAF carbon steel (CS) slag is silicon, iron, magnesium and calcium oxides. The contents of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg and Ni) in these slags are less than 0.4 %. The major minerals of EAF slags are slicates. The F-bearing phases and Ca3TiFe2O8 are also found in EAF SS slag, while Ca2Fe2O5 is present in EAF CS slag. The leachable elements (Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni and F) are lower than the relative national limits in the HJ/T299-2007 test and TCLP test, separately. Only the leachable Hg content is higher than the regulative value in the HJ/T299-2007 test, which shows that these EAF slags are harmful solid wastes. Moreover, most of Cr, Hg, Ni and F are present in the matrix of EAF SS slag, and hard to mobile, while Zn is mainly associated to organic matter and sulfides, or bound to spinel group minerals and silicates. In the EAF CS slag, most of the heavy metals are bound to spinel group minerals and silicates. KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATIONS TRENDS IN METALLURGY SUBFIELDS WITHIN STANDARDIZATION PLATFORM ivadin MICI, Neboja STANKOVI .........................................................................................................154 Key words: metallurgy, innovations trend, knowledge, subfield, standardization Abstract: The paper presents an original approach to ranking/clustering of standardized subfields presented on examples of innovation trends in metallurgy. A multi-criteria statistical analysis of knowledge database units was applied in the paper. A number of objectives have been realized on innovation pathways, both globally (ISO) and locally (SRPS standard designation in Serbia), and initial hypotheses in PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) methodology have been confirmed. Based on standardized quantities and values of knowledge database units, ranking/clustering indices were checked within standardized metallurgy subfields. Web-applications for analysis and singling out of samples from the entire Web-population (local (SRPS) and global (ISO) standardization) served as software support to statistical methodology. Original regression equations with accompanying indices of quantity, knowledge database values and ranking, given on examples within the field of metallurgy were developed. Study results aim at a more sensitive ranking of all classified fields of human endeavor, from the standpoint of innovation frequency..

    FRAMEWORK FOR ETOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN LIBYA Milad Salem MOKRAF .........................................................................................................161 Key words: Framework, e-Tourism, Development, Libya Abstract: Libya has competitive advantages such as location in North Africa and Southern Europe, its climate is mild most of the year, and it has got long beach about 2000 km, archaeology, mountains and deserts. All of these have been neglected because Libya relayed on oil as a major source of GDP to finance the public treasury and this led to a lack of revenue from other sectors as sources of finance specially the tourism sector. The efforts to promote tourism and especially e-tourism is not sufficient because the tourism industry faces enormous challenges, mostly related to the lack of a clear strategy for tourism development, the results of war in Libya and the dramatic changes in the Libyan foreign policy and an unemployment of 13%. This article studies the challenges facing Libya in the tourism sector and proposing the workable model to overcome them. Framework for e-tourism development to enable Libya to be an international tourist destination, as the first choice for tourists and investors in the region, has also been given. The article concludes that despite of Libyan tourism advantages there are major issues such as how to provide appropriate prices, high quality products, integrated programs for tour operators, access to international tourism media, branding, integrated electronic services and other challenges that should be overcome by integrated program for the development of e- tourism in Libya. THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN IMPROVING THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IN SERBIA Sandra NESIC, Marija DZUNIC, Branka DRASKOVIC .........................................................................................................166 Key words: leadership, corporate governance, business environment, public sector, organizational culture Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to emphasize importance of effective leadership and corporate governance for companies and societies, especially under the influence of economic crisis. Recent researches in global companies point to a strong need for effective leaders who have a role on development of innovation and improvements of business models and strategies, as the economic crisis has caused a crisis of leadership too. In the case of Serbia, business leadership is still prevailing traditional; hence it is necessary to modernize leadership and achieve and greater flexibility. As in the present conditions, the role of corporate governance is very prominent, for firms in Serbia and in general, it is crucial to establish good corporate governance practices. Equally as real sector, public administration should and must find a way to meet the challenges of contemporary work and business. Our research points to necessary changes in leadership and governance practice in both sector in order to achieve better business climate,as well as more concerns about organizational culture that is more flexible and in tune with modern business practices.

    Abstract: In the present study, the sulfide capacity of refining slag of high strength steel with effects of temperature and composition was investigated. Twenty-one samples were analyzed which were taken from 7 heats at 1843K,1863K and 1883K,respectively, And The obtained results show that the sulfide capacity was increasing as temperature increase at 1843K-1883K, which increase more between 1863K-1883K. The value of W(CaO+MgO)/W(SiO2+Al2O3)can truly express the influence of refining slag composition on sulfide capacity. Cs and Al2O3 have an inverse relationship at T=1843K-1863K with W(CaO)/(SiO2) = 4-8. Rational content of W(Al2O3) in slag is 18-22%. MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR FAST COMPUTATION OF EROSION PROFILE IN SUBMERGED ARC FURNACE WITH FREEZE LINING Dong HU, Shaojun CHU .........................................................................................................179 Key words: Submerged arc furnace, freeze lining, erosion profile, boundary element method. Abstract: Lining of submerged arc furnace is subject to chemical and physical erosion during smelting process. In this paper, a new 2D mathematical model is developed for monitoring the erosion profile of freeze lining in submerged arc furnace which is used for smelting ferronickel. Temperatures monitored by thermocouples at different positions of refractory are utilized for solving an inverse heat conduction problem, namely estimating the shape and location of the wear-line in melting furnace. In order to solve this inverse problem, the optimization procedure which is used to minimize the sum of the squared residual between calculated and measured temperature at different thermocouple locations should be executed with the aim to enhance computational efficiency. Temperatures at thermocouples locations are calculated by Boundary Element Method. Modified simplex optimization method is employed. The result obtained from numerical experiments indicates that this algorithm could reduce the computational memory and time, at the same time improve the computational accuracy. Furthermore, thermal conductivity of the refractory in freeze lining may decrease after smelting for a period of time. This is mainly due to refractories has experienced the high and low temperature cycle for many times. The accuracy in computation of erosion profile will be affected either. The influence degree is also discussed in this paper INFLUENCE OF INTERMEDIATE BILLET THICKNESS ON TEXTURE AND MAGNETIC PROPERTY OF 50W1300 NON-ORIENTED ELECTRICAL STEEL Shaojie WU Li XIANG Chen ZHANG Shengtao QIU .........................................................................................................185 Key words: non-oriented electrical steel; intermediate billet thickness; texture Abstract: The intermediate billet thickness of 50W1300 cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel produced by thick slab casting process in Xinyu Steel has been studied. The results show that: when the intermediate billet thickness is 38mm, it is helpful to increase favorable texture and decrease unfavorable texture volume fraction, which can reduce the core loss and improve the magnetic induction intensity. This paper summarizes texture characteristics and evolution law of 50W1300 cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel produced by thick slab casting process. The texture distribution is uneven along the thickness direction of hot rolled plate, and the texture type in center layer is mainly anti-Gauss {100} component. Texture types of cold rolled plate along thickness direction are basically the same and they are mainly and fibre textures. From cold rolling to the final recrystallization annealing, the texture intensity decreases gradually. Texture types in annealed sheet are mainly fibre textures which mainly gather in {111}.

Commercial systems for fruit are among the most complex food production systems that must meet a series of technical, technological, hygienic, economic and other conditions. Serbia operates a relatively large number of companies whose main activity is production and processing of fruits. In the present conditions that are characterized by unstable production and even greater oscillations in the market, lack of raw material and financial resources proper choice of production is coming increasingly to the fore. Application of modern mathematical and statistical methods is one way to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of business systems. The basic idea is to optimize the production quantity is available and determine the optimal distribution of raw materials such range of products which will provide the maximum net income. This paper has been formulated general theoretical and mathematical model aimed at defining the product structure, which will provide the largest economic effects of fulfilling all the conditions (constraints). Comparative analysis of model variants come to the conclusion that a combination of types and categories of fruit pulp in the circumstances most favorable for processing. Confirmed that the type and category of fruit processing influence the production orientation, range and movement of business results.

PULVERIZED COAL COMBUSTION STATE MONITORING IN BLAST FURNACE RACEWAY BASED ON MACHINE VISION Xing-lan ZHANG, Qi OUYANG, Wanhong LI

    .........................................................................................................229 Key words: pulverized coal combustion; radiation measurement; machine vision; blast furnace Raceway. Abstract: At present, many devices are used to realize non-contact radiation measurement for pulverized coal combustion flame. Whenever the body to be controlled behaves as grey body or a body of known emissivity system, all devices inferring the true temperature from the body radiation are accurate and reliable. On the other hand, the emissivity of pulverized coal combustion flame is uncertain because of the influence of raceway shape, physical chemistry, working states, temperature and spectral et al, emissivity compensations need to be done, or else the result will lead to big deviation. Furthermore, the saturation of the CCD sensor will be appeared during high temperature measurement process. In this paper, a real-time bicolor system is more likely to be utilized. For all

    other cases, a multi-spectral system of two CCD cameras based on machine vision has been built and used in pulverized coal combustion flame measurement and working state monitoring for blast furnace. A FAST IMAGE MATCHING ALGORITHM AND THE APPLICATION ON STEEL-LABEL RECOGNITION Pei YAO, Fei DENG, CongCong SHU .........................................................................................................234 Key words: image matching, ring-projection, steel-label recognition, similarity Abstract: This paper presents a kind of image matching algorithm based on two steps matching process.

    Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to examine the results of a job satisfaction survey of employees in the Police Service in Slovenia, compared and analyzed from data collected in surveys conducted in 2002, 2009 and 2012. The analysis focuses on the impact of demographic characteristics on perceived job satisfaction at different levels of hierarchy. In a 10-year period the biggest drop in perceived satisfaction involved the possibility of performing work autonomously, the promotion system, the relationships among the staff. Compared to 2002 in 2012 Police employees were more satisfied with working hours, the leadership style in their organizational unit and job location. The 2012 analysis showed that most employees would like to see changes in the reward system and in working conditions (premises/equipment). Compared to all police employees, the traffic police employees are the least satisfied in terms of most facets.
