1. The importance of labeling products with a GMO or non-GMO labelKatja Meško Kuralt, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The article is based on publicly available data, namely on European legislation and on publicly available instructions or recommendations/guidelines dealing with the field of GMO labelling in Slovenia. The importance of labelling GMO-free products and GMO-labelled products was analysed using a comparative research method. The analysis is based on a comparison of the basic terms with each other (i.e., GMO-labelled products, non-GMO-labelled products). It also is based on a review of the legal definition of the terms and on control over the use of the terms. The purpose of this paper is to define an important difference between the two concepts, which are hidden and (or) not defined for most consumers.
Keywords: GMO label, transparency, product control, product approval process, Regulation 1830/2003/EC

2. Density-based entropy centrality for community detection in complex networksKrista Rizman Žalik, Mitja Žalik, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: One of the most important problems in complex networks is the location of nodes that are essential or play a main role in the network. Nodes with main local roles are the centers of real communities. Communities are sets of nodes of complex networks and are densely connected internally. Choosing the right nodes as seeds of the communities is crucial in determining real communities. We propose a new centrality measure named density-based entropy centrality for the local identification of the most important nodes. It measures the entropy of the sum of the sizes of the maximal cliques to which each node and its neighbor nodes belong. The proposed centrality is a local measure for explaining the local influence of each node, which provides an efficient way to locally identify the most important nodes and for community detection because communities are local structures. It can be computed independently for individual vertices, for large networks, and for not well-specified networks. The use of the proposed density-based entropy centrality for community seed selection and community detection outperforms other centrality measures.
Keywords: networks, undirected graphs, community detection, node centrality, label propagation

3. When the customer and the wine shelf meet : factors of ethnocentrism when selecting a bottle of wineVita Petek, Črtomir Rozman, Jasna Potočnik Topler, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: This study examines the importance of wine characteristics when choosing wine, such as the shape and colour of the bottle, type of wine cork, information on the wine label, price and ethnocentrism. Three research questions were proposed in this paper. A quantitative online survey in the form of 458 participants was carried out in Slovenia. Participants were asked questions relating to their wine consumption behaviour. The results of this study show the Spearman's correlation coefficient between ethnocentrism and country-of-origin importance. These findings benefit winemakers who want to improve their wine sales and learn what characteristics of the wine label are significant.

4. Green productBorut Jereb, Matjaž Knez, Darja Kukovič, Tina Cvahte Ojsteršek, Matevž Obrecht, 2016, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: According to Kotler (1998) the product is the first and most important element of the marketing combination. Product strategy should include consistent decisions "about the product combination, group of products, brands, packaging and labelling." (Kotler 1998: 459). After we identify green products we will especially be interested in specific strategies for developing green products and packaging and green brand positioning.
Shortly green products can be labelled as more durable, non-toxic, made from recycled materials and have less or only necessary volume of packaging (Ottman 1997: 89). Broader definition is given by Peattie (1995) who also considers the social dimension under the concept of green. He considers the product or service as green, where its effect on the natural environment and its social impact in terms of production, use or disposal, is significantly improved with respect to conventional products and services (Peattie 1995).
Green product strategy should be implemented through:
- Development of green product,
- Green brand,
- Eco-label and
- Eco-design.
Keywords: environmental management, green products, green brand, eco-label, eco-design
