1. Primerjava in analiza seznanjenosti laične in strokovne javnosti s probiotikiDomen Lorenčič, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Uvod: Kljub številnim koristnim učinkom probiotikov je poznavanje probiotikov in njihova uporabnost še vedno šibka med laično in strokovno populacijo. Njihova uporaba se v svetu povečuje, zato je pomembno, da so zdravstveni delavci seznanjeni o uporabi in učinkih probiotikov, saj bodo le na ta način laični javnosti lahko podali koristne informacije. Namen našega zaključnega dela je bilo predstaviti probiotike in seznanjenost s probiotiki med laično in strokovno javnostjo.
Metode: Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo dela. Izvedli smo pregled literature na našo raziskovalno temo. Iskanje literature je potekalo v podatkovnih bazah SAGE Journals, ScienceDirect in Wiley Online Library ter Google Učenjak. Identificirane raziskave smo predstavili v evalvacijski tabeli. Raziskave smo razvrstili po hierarhiji dokazov.
Rezultati: V končno analizo smo vključili 20 raziskav s skupnim vzorcem 13.071 (n = 7551 laične javnosti; n = 5520 strokovne javnosti). Ugotovili smo, da je znanje o probiotikih med laično javnostjo v povprečju slaba. Večino informacij pridobijo od bližjih prijateljev (5/20; 25 %) ali socialnih omrežij (7/20; 35 %).
Razprava in zaključek: Pomembno je, da imajo zdravstveni delavci znanje o probiotikih, katero lahko nato prenašajo na laično javnost. Znanje o znanstvenih dokazanih koristi probiotikov pa je še vedno slaba, še posebej pri medicinskih sestrah. To bi lahko izboljšali z izvajanjem ciljev učnih programov in dodatnimi izobraževanji na vseh nivojih zdravstvene oskrbe.

2. Macroprudential policy versus other economic policiesEva Lorenčič, Mejra Festić, 2021, review article Abstract: After the global financial crisis of 2007, macroprudential policy instruments have gained in recognition as a crucial tool for enhancing financial stability. Monetary policy, fiscal policy, and microprudential policy operate with a different toolkit and focus on achieving goals other than the stability of the financial system as a whole. In ligh of this, a fourth policy – namely macroprudential policy – is required to mitigate and prevent shocks that could destabilize the financial system as a whole and compromise financial stability. The aim of this paper is to contrast macroprudential policy with other economic policies and explain why other economic policies are unable to attain financial stability, which in turn justifies the need for a separate macroprudential policy, the ultimate goal whereof is precisely financial stability of the financial system as a whole. Our research results based on the descriptive research method indicate that, in order to prevent future financial crises, it is indispensable to combine both the microprudential and the macroprudential approach to financial stability. This is because the causes of the crises are often such that they cannot be prevented or mitigated by relying only on microprudential or only on macroprudential policy instruments.

3. The impact of seven macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability in six euro area economiesEva Lorenčič, Mejra Festić, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate whether macroprudential policy instruments can influence the credit growth rate and hence financial stability. We use a fixed effects panel regression model to test the following hypothesis for six euro area economies (Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain) during time span 2010 Q3 to 2018 Q4: “Macroprudential policy instruments (degree of maturity mismatch; interbank loans as a percentage of total loans; leverage ratio; non-deposit funding as a percentage of total funding; loan-to-value ratio; loan-to-deposit ratio; solvency ratio) enhance financial stability, as measured by credit growth”. Our empirical results suggest that the degree of maturity mismatch, non-deposit funding as a percentage of total funding, loan-to-value ratio and loan-to-deposit ratio exhibit the predicted impact on the credit growth rate and therefore on financial stability. On the other hand, interbank loans as a percentage of total loans, leverage ratio, and solvency ratio do not exhibit the expected impact on the response variable. Since only four regressors (out of seven) have the signs predicted by our hypothesis, we can only partly confirm it.

4. Modeliranje podnebne ustreznosti za gojenje oljk (Olea europaea) na vzhodnem Jadranu (Slovenija, Hrvaška)Iztok Lorenčič, Mitja Kaligarič, Daša Donša, Jaša Veno Grujić, Danijel Ivajnšič, 2022, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Pridelava oljk je ranljiv kmetijski sistem, primeren za študije vpliva podnebnih sprememb zaradi dolge življenjske dobe oljčnega drevesa, njegove občutljivosti na sušo in visoke temperature ter vse večje vloge oljčnih nasadov v gospodarstvu sredozemskih območij. S pomočjo prostorske analize smo ugotavljali, kakšna je podnebna ustreznost za gojenje oljk v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Ocenjujemo vpliv bioklimatskih spremenljivk na razširjenost oljčnikov na tem območju, vrednotimo prihodnje podnebne pogoje za gojenje oljk, zaznavamo variabilnost modelnih podnebnih napovedi na primeru oljčnikov in identificiramo prihodnja ustrezna in neustrezna območja za gojenje oljk v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Obravnavana podnebna scenarija RCP4.5 in RCP8.5, v primeru oljke, kažeta različen razvoj ustreznih površin za gojenje na raziskovanem območju. Model Mahalanobisove tipičnosti (MT) napoveduje krčenje ustreznih pogojev v severnem predelu območja. Model Podnebne ustreznosti pridelka (CCS) pa kaže največje razlike v podnebni ustreznosti za gojenje oljk na območju Dalmacije, kjer bo lahko v prihodnosti več ustreznih površin tudi v notranjosti celine. Dolgoročne podnebne napovedi so lahko na lokalnem nivoju dokaj nezanesljive. Za natančnejše napovedi ustreznih pogojev za gojenje oljke bi bile potrebne bolj poglobljene analize na regionalni ravni. Prav gotovo bo oljkam v prihodnosti ustrezalo toplejše ozračje, vendar je problematika večplastna.

5. Aplikacija modela gravitacije na države G7Eva Lorenčič, 2014, original scientific article Abstract: V prispevku uporabimo model gravitacije za razumevanje determinant izvoznih tokov iz držav G7 v 161 partnerskih držav. V teoretičnem delu predstavimo teoretično podlago modela in ugotovimo, da je model možno povezati z različnimi teorijami mednarodne menjave. V empiričnem delu z metodo najmanjših kvadratov testiramo deset ekonometričnih modelov. Osnovni model gravitacije, ki zunanjetrgovinske tokove pojasnjuje z BDP dveh držav in zračne razdalje med njunima glavnima mestoma, razširimo z vključitvijo petih opisnih spremenljivk, spremenljivke oddaljenosti in absolutne razlike v BDP na prebivalca, s katero testiramo veljavnost Linderjeve hipoteze nasproti veljavnosti napovedi H-O modela. Rezultati modelov so skladni z obstoječimi empiričnimi študijami in teoretičnimi napovedmi.

6. The impact of macroprudential policy on credit growth in nine euro area economiesEva Lorenčič, Robert Volčjak, Mejra Festić, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the impact of macroprudential policy measures
(bundled together into a macroprudential policy index, MPI) on the nonfinancial corporate sector credit and household credit growth using a one-step
system GMM empirical research method. The goal of our paper is to test
whether contractionary macroprudential policy stymies credit growth rate
and whether expansionary macroprudential policy spurs credit growth rate
in selected Euro Area economies (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland,
Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain) over the period 2008Q4–2018Q4. We
test two hypotheses: H1: The tightening of macroprudential policy measures
reduces the non-financial corporate sector credit growth rate, and H2: The
tightening of macroprudential policy measures reduces the growth rate of
household credit. Based on our empirical results, we can confirm the first
hypothesis. In contrast, the second hypothesis can be neither confirmed
nor rejected since the explanatory variable of interest (MPI) is statistically
insignificant in the second model.

7. Metode za prepoznavo srčnega zastoja v dispečerski službi zdravstvaMelita Lorenčič, 2023, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Uvod: Srčni zastoj je nujno zdravstveno stanje, ki zahteva hitro in nujno ukrepanje. Hitro in natančno prepoznavanje srčnega zastoja z uporabo metod za prepoznavo srčnega zastoja je prvi korak za povečanje stopnje oživljanja navzočih in posledično možnosti preživetja. Namen pregleda literature je bil ugotoviti, katere metode se za prepoznavo srčnega zastoja uporabljajo v dispečerski službi zdravstva pri tistih pacientih, ki so utrpeli zastoj srca.
Metode: Za pregled znanstvene literature smo uporabili mednarodne baze: PubMed, CHINAL, Cochrane Library in ScienceDirect. Uporabili smo opisno metodo dela, metodo analize, komparacije in metodo sinteze. V hierarhiji dokazov smo ocenili moč dokazov iz zbranih raziskav. S preglednico smo prikazali rezultate analize in sinteze znanstvene literature.
Rezultati: Od 32-ih zadetkov smo jih v pregled vključili pet. Uporaba metod za odločanje v dispečerski službi zdravstva precej vpliva na prepoznavo nastalih zunajbolnišničnih srčnih zastojev in s tem podajanjem navodil za oživljanje.
Razprava in zaključek: Uporaba dobre in učinkovite metode za prepoznavo zunajbolnišničnega srčnega zastoja je ključnega pomena za dobro povezano verigo preživetja in posledično višjo stopnjo preživetja. Z uporabo metod za odločanje pri nastalem zunajbolnišničnem srčnem zastoju ga zdravstveni dispečer prepozna in začne s podajanjem navodil za oživljanje, s čimer povečuje stopnjo možnosti preživetja.

9. Rdeča armada in osvoboditev prekmurja leta 1945: kolektivna memorija lokalnega prebivalstva : magistrsko deloDarjan Lorenčič, 2022, master's thesis Abstract: Magistrska naloga se ukvarja s prihodom Rdeče armade v Prekmurje in osvoboditvijo pokrajine leta 1945. Metodološko se naloga naslanja na analizo zbranih ustnih pričevanj posameznikov, ki vzdržujejo kolektivno memorijo na prihod rdečearmejcev, in so ali sami doživeli ta prelomni dogodek ali pa so povzeli pričevanja svojcev. Pričevanja so obenem komparativno analizirana s podatki, ki jih dobimo v arhivskih, časopisnih in drugih virih ter v najbolj relevantni literaturi. Ponujajo nam originalni vpogled v dojemanje takratnih dogodkov iz perspektive lokalnega prebivalstva. Pri priklicevanju preteklih dogodkov v spomin odigra ključno vlogo kolektivna memorija, zato je v uvodnem delu pojasnjen koncept le-te, kar je bistveno za razumevanje delovanja spomina v odnosu do kolektivnega. Naloga je nato razdeljena na dva glavna dela: v prvem je nanizana naracija dogodkov, ki so sledili do osvoboditve, s poudarkom na vojaških operacijah Rdeče armade, ki so prikazane tudi s pomočjo vojaških zemljevidov; medtem ko drugi del temelji na pričevanjih in zajema dogodke od prihoda rdečearmejcev do utrditve nove jugoslovanske oblasti po vojni.
Keywords: Prekmurje, osvoboditev 1945, Rdeča armada, druga svetovna vojna, pričevanja, kolektivna memorija.

10. The Impact of Macroprudential Policy Instruments on Financial StabilityEva Lorenčič, 2021, doctoral dissertation Abstract: This doctoral dissertation represents a comprehensive treatment of the many facets of macroprudential policy. We start by delving into the notions of macroprudential policy, systemic risk and financial stability, describe the macroprudential policy transmission mechanism, systemic financial crises and contagion channels, as well as the Modigliani-Miller theorem and its violations. We proceed by illustrating a multitude of available macroprudential policy instruments, attempt to clarify whether capital controls can be considered a macroprudential policy instrument, describe the use and calibration of macroprudential policy instruments, and elaborate on the changes to the EU macroprudential policy framework after the enactment of the Capital Requirements Regulation II and Capital Requirements Directive V.
Next, we describe interactions between macroprudential policy and other policies, in particular microprudential, monetary, fiscal and structural policies. We attempt to answer the question of whether macroprudential policy should be entrusted to a central bank, a financial supervisory authority, or the government. Furthermore, we investigate whether countries should reciprocate each other’s macroprudential policy stance. Moreover, we review the existing research regarding the impact of macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability. We attempt to answer the question of whether the existence of a macroprudential policy framework could have prevented the Global Financial Crisis of 2007. Last but not least, we conduct our own empirical assessment of the impact of macroprudential policy instruments on financial stability in six euro area countries (Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Spain, Ireland and Netherlands) over sixteen quarters (from 2015 Q1 (inclusive) to 2018 Q4 (inclusive)) by using the quantitative research method of panel econometrics.
We tested three hypotheses: H1: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) enhance financial stability, as measured by credit growth. H2: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) enhance financial stability, as measured by house price growth. H3: Macroprudential policy instruments (common equity tier 1 ratio; loans to deposits ratio; non-deposit funding as percentage of total funding; leverage ratio; interconnectedness ratio; and coverage ratio for non-performing exposures) reduce cyclical fluctuations of the economy, as measured by the amplitude of the deviations of the actual economic growth rate from its long-run trend, thereby contributing to financial stability.
Our empirical results suggest that, of the investigated macroprudential policy instruments, common equity tier one ratio, coverage ratio, and interconnectedness ratio exhibit the predicted impact on credit growth rate and on the deviation of the actual economic growth rate from its long-run trend. Furthermore, common equity tier one ratio, loans to deposits ratio, and leverage ratio exhibit the predicted impact on house price growth rate. The non-deposit funding ratio does not exhibit the expected impact on any of the response variables. Hence, we can only partly confirm hypotheses 1, 2 and 3.
Our conclusions are in line with contemporary research on macroprudential policy. Taking into account the existing empirical research, combined with our findings as presented in this dissertation, a case can be made for the usage of carefully crafted macroprudential policy instruments which target selected financial and macroeconomic variables with the ultimate goal of attaining financial stability of the financial system as a whole.
