Quantum mechanical measurement in monistic systems theory
In the article “Quantum mechanical measurement in monistic systems theory” doi:10.23756/sp.v11i2.1350 there is no collapse of the wave function and only one world. Can wave particle dualism be replaced by a monistic model?

Yes. This is what Quantum Mechanics, as developed in the 1920's, achieved. Here's a quotation from Feynman (page 23 of QED):

You had to know which experiments you were analysing in order to tell if light was waves or particles. This state of confusion was called the "wave-particle duality". ... It is the purpose of these lectures to tell you how this puzzle was finally resolved.

It was resolved by Quantum Mechanics!

And that's a good note on which to close this thread. (The paper referenced is a philosophical one.)
