1. Measuring climate knowledge : a systematic review of quantitative studiesMaruša Lubej, Žiga Petraš, Andrej Kirbiš, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Climate change is a pressing issue that necessitates a climate-literate population. This systematic literature
review investigates how climate knowledge, a key component of climate literacy, is measured in scientific
research. Analysis of 92studiesrevealsthatclimateknowledgeisprimarilyassessedasobjectiveknowledge
(facts andevidence). Aminorityofstudiesmeasuredsubjectiveknowledge.Mostoften,thetargetpopulation
was general adult population, followed by students and teachers. Furthermore, most studies are concen
trated in North America and Europe, while climate knowledge remains underexplored in other regions.
This review highlights the lack of consistency in the measurement of climate knowledge, particularly in
defining its dimensions. Our findings underscore the need for future research to focus on developing a stan
dardized, reliable, valid, and comprehensive instrument for measuring climateknowledge. Thiswould enable
the comparison of findings across different regions and populations.

2. Čustvena podpora ženskam po spontanem splavuAmra Ćatić, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Uvod: Spontani splav je travmatična izkušnja, ki nosi s seboj zmerno do visoko tveganje za psihološke in čustvene težave, zato je namen zaključnega dela raziskati, katere intervencije so učinkovite pri zagotavljanju čustvenih potreb žensk po spontanem splavu.
Metode: Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo dela in pregled literature. Iskanje literature je potekalo v podatkovnih bazah PubMed, CINAHL in Medline ob upoštevanju vključitvenih in izključitvenih kriterijev ter iskalnih omejitev. Izvedli smo vsebinsko analizo in sintezo zbranih podatkov.
Rezultati: V analizo smo vključili pet raziskav, na osnovi katerih ugotavljamo, da medicinska sestra s temeljitim pogovorom, s ciljem vzpostavitve čustvene povezanosti z žensko po spontanem splavu, prepoznava njene potrebe ter identificira dejavnike, ki vplivajo na njeno doživljanje situacije. V okviru psihološke podpore je potrebno poskrbeti za celostno oskrbo žensk glede na identificirane potrebe in nuditi družbeno podporo, informacijsko podporo, ustanovitev lokalnih podpornih skupin, sodelovanje v organiziranih spominskih dogodkih in napotitev v specializirane centre, kjer ženske dobijo celostno oskrbo vključno z medicinsko in psihološko podporo.
Razprava in zaključek: S posvečanjem časa in pogovorom z žensko in njenim partnerjem je mogoče vzpostaviti po spontanem splavu čustveno povezavo, razumeti njune potrebe in identificirati vplivne dejavnike. S tem se omogoča prepoznavanje morebitnih psiholoških težav ter usmerjeno nudenje podpore in oskrbe.

4. Pandemic and politics in Mary Shelley’s The last manMichelle Gadpaille, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, readers and scholars turn to previous pandemic writing. Among the accounts of past pandemics, Mary Shelley’s The Last Man (1826) might not be the most familiar, although it stands out, not merely because of its female author and futuristic, dystopian mode. Its real distinction is that it predicts the social and political fallout of a pandemic in ways that echo the global experience of coronavirus reaction over the last few years, specifically, the ideological polarization created by anti-pandemic measures.
Keywords: English literature, plague narrative, dystopia

5. Categorisation of open government data literatureAljaž Ferencek, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, Ajda Pretnar Žagar, 2022, review article Abstract: Background: Due to the emerging global interest in Open Government Data, research papers on various topics in this area have increased.
Objectives: This paper aims to categorise Open government data research.
Methods/Approach: A literature review was conducted to provide a complete overview and classification of open government data research. Hierarchical clustering, a cluster analysis method, was used, and a hierarchy of clusters on selected data sets emerged.
Results: The results of this study suggest that there are two distinct clusters of research, which either focus on government perspectives and policies on OGD, initiatives, and portals or focus on regional studies, adoption of OGD, platforms, and barriers to implementation. Further findings suggest that research gaps could be segmented into many thematic areas, focusing on success factors, best practices, the impact of open government data, barriers/challenges in implementing open government data, etc.
Conclusions: The extension of the paper, which was first presented at the Entrenova conference, provides a comprehensive overview of research to date on the implementation of OGD and points out that this topic has already received research attention, which focuses on specific segments of the phenomenon and signifies in which direction new research should be made.
Keywords: open government data, open government data research, hierarchical clustering, OGD classification, OGD literature overview

6. Exploring digital twins in the transport and energy fields : a bibliometrics and literature review approachNena Orel Šanko, Borut Jereb, Tina Cvahte Ojsteršek, 2023, review article Abstract: Logistics and transport are major sources of energy consumption that still rely heavily on fossil fuels. Especially in the freight sector, finding means to optimise fuel consumption and energy efficiency are increasingly important. Digital twins’ adaptation in logistics and transport is not as frequent as in production, but their implementation potential is immense. This technology can replicate real environments, allowing verification of various scenarios without real-life application, leading to optimal implementation outcome faster and more efficiently. This paper aims to research digital twins’ use in logistics and transport, focusing on digital twins’ potential and effects to optimise energy consumption. Firstly, previous research on digital twins in specified fields was identified, followed by a quantitative literature review. The latter focused on codifying the selected publications based on criteria such as modality, specific environment, energy consumption, etc. Furthermore, a qualitative overview of 57 relevant publications on digital twins’ use in logistics and transport was made. The main contribution of this paper is the systematic overview of digital twins from the viewpoint of energy optimisation in one of the most energy-dependent sectors. This gives researchers a good starting point for further research and digital twins’ practical implementation cases.
Keywords: logistics, transport, digital twin, energy consumption, optimisation, literature review, bibliometrics

7. Literary works including children with special needsNika Vizjak Puškar, Dragica Haramija, 2023, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Owing to their inclusion in the education system, teachers often encounter students with special needs during their work. When working with these students, the teacher’s level of empathy is extremely important, however it is difficult to achieve if they are not familiar with how these students think and feel. One way of becoming acquainted with individuals with special needs is by becoming familiar with their thinking patterns, especially their emotional responses. The paper presents literary sources related to the topic, wherein the sources are evaluated, and the selected works are analysed. Besides the method of analysis (protagonists, supporting characters, literary space, literary time, subject, theme, motifs, narrator, structure, and plot), the descriptive method for presenting theoretical starting points and the method of synthesis in the conclusion are also used.
Keywords: young adult literature, literary characters with special needs, understanding special needs, empathy, inclusive relationships

8. Effectiveness of health promotion interventions in primary schools : a mixed methods literature reviewJoca Zurc, Camilla Laaksonen, 2023, review article Abstract: School-based health promotion interventions (HPIs) are commonly used in schools, but scientific evidence about the structures of effective interventions is lacking. Therefore, we conducted a mixed methods systematic literature review to recognize the HPI structures related to their effectiveness. Based on the inclusion criteria, 49 articles were selected for the literature review. The articles, published in 2011–2022, described 46 different school-based interventions conducted in 20 different countries. The average duration of the interventions was 12 months, and they were implemented mostly with an RCT study design (61.2%) and by targeting children (69.4%). Three main groups of interventions were identified and explained: (1) extensive and long-term interventions; (2) school policy-changing interventions; and (3) highly effective interventions. Effective school-based HPIs included multiple target groups, multiple providers with external experts, and an efficient duration and timing of follow-ups. The implications for educational research and school practice are presented. Evidence on the effectiveness of health-related interventions is still lacking and needs to be addressed in further studies.
Keywords: education, school health, health promotion, health education, intervention effectiveness, systematic literature review, mixed methods review

9. Wellness tourism research : bibliometric study of the scientific fieldMilica Rančić Demir, Mila Zečević, 2022, review article Abstract: The paper presents the results of a bibliometric analysis of academic research covering the field of wellness tourism. The purpose of the article is to identify the structure of relationships between topics that were current in the past and topics that are current now. The aim of the research was to better understand the development of the field of wellness tourism, important constructs, authors, and resources with the help of bibliometric methods. For detailed research of the field of literature on wellness tourism, some two set bibliometric strategies were used: co-citation and keyword co-occurrence. In our bibliometric mapping of the wellness tourism research field, we have investigated the scientific production of articles over the years, the most important journals in the field, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The obtained results of the study showed a significant increase in the number of publications related to wellness tourism. When it comes to the importance of individual journals, we have identified the 20 best journals that have published the most articles in this field. In wellness tourism research, we identified four clusters: health tourism research, tourism research, wellness topics, and wellness tourism research.
Keywords: wellness tourism, bibliometrics, keyword co-occurrence, literature review

10. Literary tourism : the role of Russian 19th century travel literature in the positioning of the smallest European royal capital - CetinjeAndriela Vitić-Ćetković, Ivona Jovanović, Jasna Potočnik Topler, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: Increasing competition on the global tourism market forces numerous tourist destinations to create a specific image and diversify their offers through innovative and sustainable tourism products. In view of this, there is a range of possibilities for utilizing historical resources, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, including travel literature, which has not been considered in Montenegro thus far in the context of potentials for enhancing the tourist offer. This paper is focusing on the research of travel literature by 19th century authors from Russia who wrote about Cetinje and Montenegro, as well as the possibilities of creating a destination image and diversified experience for specific market niches, primarily the tourists from Russia who have been among the most numerous in Montenegro. The expected outcome of the research is to point out the importance of valorisation of Russian traveler literature in the context of creating a destination image. Considering the negative propaganda of a part of the media in Russia when Montenegro entered NATO in 2017, it is expected that this Balkan and Adriatic country, whose primary business is tourism, will have to identify and acquire state-of-the-art modalities for attracting new target segments from the Russian Federation. In this paper, literary tourism with the concepts of town - museum, town of books and storytelling, as marketing communications tools, are proposed to promote the revival and valorization of historical events, historical figures and Cetinje's former image in the positioning of the tourism destination, also in the conte xt of sustainable tourism development.
Keywords: travel literature, literary tourism, heritage, destination image, destination positioning, storytelling, Monte Negro, Cetinje
