1. Collaboration as a soft skill in special education teachers : a systematic literature reviewAssimina Tsibidaki, Aikaterini Vrachna, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This study explores the role of collaboration as a crucial soft skill for special education teachers (SETs), focusing on its impact on their professional development and teaching practices. Through a qualitative review of 15 studies (2012–2024), findings highlight that, while collaboration enhances inclusive education, challenges persist, including heavy workloads, large class sizes, limited training, and negative attitudes. SETs view collaboration with schools, families, and colleagues as vital to improving both teaching effectiveness and student outcomes. The study underscores the need to integrate collaborative practices into teacher preparation programs to foster professional growth and create more inclusive, supportive learning environments.

2. The role of intelligent data analysis in selected endurance sports : a systematic literature reviewAlen Rajšp, Patrik Rek, Peter Kokol, Iztok Fister, 2025, review article Abstract: In endurance sports, athletes and coaches shift increasingly from intuition-based decisionmaking to data-driven approaches powered by modern technology and analytics. Since 2018, the field has experienced significant advances, influencing endurance sports disciplines. This systematic literature review identified 75 peer-reviewed studies on intelligent data analysis in endurance sports training. Each study was categorized by its intelligent method (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, computational intelligence), the types of sensors and wearables used, and the specific training application and approach. Our synthesis reveals that machine learning and deep learning are among the most used approaches, with running and cycling identified as the most extensively studied sports. Physiological and environmental data, such as heart rate, biomechanical signals, and GPS, are often used to aid in generating personalized training plans, predicting injuries, and increasing athletes’ long-term performance. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, related to data quality and the small participant sample sizes.

3. Pregled literature LGBTQIA+ v slovenskem jeziku, namenjene pedagoškim delavcem : magistrsko deloKarmen Globočnik, 2025, master's thesis Abstract: Magistrsko delo razširja poznavanje slovenske literature na temo LGBTQIA+ znotraj vzgojno-izobraževalnega procesa. Namenjeno je pedagoškim delavcem, ki se v šolskem okolju srečujejo z vprašanji in dilemami glede naslavljanja LGBTQIA+ tematike. Cilj magistrskega dela je, da raziščemo tri osrednje spletne baze literature v Sloveniji (COBISS, Google Učenjak in Digitalna knjižnica Slovenije) ter znotraj specifičnih kriterijev poiščemo kakovostno literaturo.
V teoretičnem delu je predstavljena osnovna terminologija LGBTQIA+, sledi opis medicinskega vidika transspolnosti in spolne disforije ter oris razvojno-psiholoških značilnosti oblikovanja spolne identitete. Osrednji je pedagoški vidik, ki naslavlja predvsem splošne značilnosti medvrstniškega nasilja in medvrstniškega nasilja v povezavi z LGBTQIA+ osebami.
V empiričnem delu predstavimo najdeno literaturo, ki je ustrezala predpisanim kriterijem. Analiza virov je temeljila na vnaprej določenih kriterijih, ki so se navezovali na: časovni okvir objave, dostopnost, strokovnost, jezik in pedagoško področje.
Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da je na slovenskem pedagoškem področju primanjkljaj kakovostnih virov literature na temo LGBTQIA+, kar nakazuje na potrebo po nadaljnjem raziskovanju in razvoju znanstveno utemeljenih gradiv.
V zaključnem delu poudarimo pomen strokovne obravnave občutljivih tem v šolskem okolju. Pedagoški pristopi k LGBTQIA+ temi morajo temeljiti na znanstveno preverjenih dejstvih in upoštevati celostni ter dolgoročni razvoj otrok in mladostnikov, pri čemer je potrebno zagotoviti ustrezno izobraževanje pedagoških delavcev.

4. Literature in the English Classroom in the Final Three Years of Primary School : master's thesisZala Jug, 2025, master's thesis Abstract: Literature plays an essential role in language learning, since it offers students an engaging and meaningful way to develop their language skills and critical thinking. This Thesis deals with the integration of literature into English language teaching in the final three years of primary school in Slovenia. The theoretical part of the Thesis examines the fundations for integrating literature into English language teaching in Slovene primary school by examining how reading comprehension is addressed in the Curriculum for the final three years of Primary School, as well as the objectives, standards and l themes outlined in the Curriculum. It also investigates the role that literature plays in learning a foreign language, focusing not only on its role in developing students' language skills but also on its importance for rasing students' sociocultural awareness.
The empirical part is divided into two parts: the first one analyses literary texts that are included in the English textbooks currently used in the final three years of primary school to assess their frequency and their pedagogical role. Based on the findings, the second part proposes a list of additional literary texts suitable to be used in the English classroom for their alignment with the Curriculum's objectives, as well as for addressing socially relevant themes that reflect contemporary social issues.

5. Mapping the evolution of social innovation in scientific publications : a topic modelling and text mining approachUroš Godnov, Jana Hojnik, Simona Kustec, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Objective: To trace how academic discourse on social innovation has evolved from 2000 – mid-2024 in numbers and leading topics by applying a special topic modelling and text mining methodology. Data & Sources: 4,703 full-text journal articles retrieved from Science Direct. Methods: Literature review and PDF text extracted with PyPDF2 and pdfplumber; cleaned and tokenised in R; topic modelling performed with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (ldatuning-optimised); temporal and correlation analyses visualised via tidyverse. Results: The number of publications increased significantly from 16 (in 2000) to 573 (in 2021), stabilizing thereafter. Seven dominant topics emerged: renewable energy, environmental/resource management, smart-city governance, sustainable food systems, corporate strategy, academic-method studies, and social-governance structures. “Social” and “innovation” became the top word pair after 2006; energy-related terms surged after 2016. Surprisingly, topics typically considered ‘social’ have not dominated the social innovation discourse in scientific communities compared to the aforementioned dominant topics. Discussion: Our results largely confirm existing findings from literature reviews and affirm the interdisciplinary, vague, contested, and still intensively evolving nature of social innovation. Dominant social innovation topics in scientific papers reference to social innovation topics in global political and policy documents, notably from the EU (from 2013 onwards) and the 2015 UN SDGs agenda, also emphasising collaboration between scientific, business, political and non-governmental stakeholders, and can thus serve as scientific, evidence-based advocacy for other stakeholders involved in social innovation processes. Conclusions: Social innovation research is now an established, systemic, and broadly interdisciplinary field of study, focusing on sustainability, emerging technologies, and governance topics. It is tightly connected with the political and policy agendas of leading international organisations, as well as business and non-governmental ones. Implications: Findings guide scholars to under-explored social-related content and niches (such as governance and, especially, equity topics) and help policymakers and other stakeholders involved in social innovation processes locate evidence-based approaches and clusters when designing their socially innovative responses, interventions, solutions, and measures.

6. The challenges of translating metaphors in Slovene retranslation of Edgar Allan Poe's short storiesNatalia Kaloh Vid, Agnes Kojc, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The article focuses on translations of metaphors, a unique aesthetic and poetic figure that requires special attention and accurate rendering in a literary translation. When translating metaphors, the translator should understand and preserve the meaning and the aesthetic component of the metaphors. The study discusses the rendering of metaphors in translations and re-translations of three short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: “The Gold Bug,” translated by Boris Rihteršič in 1935, and Jože Udovič in 1960; “The Pit and the Pendulum,” translated by Rihteršič in 1935 and by Udovič in 1972, and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” translated by Zoran Jerin and Igor Šentjurc (1952), and by Udovič in 1972. In gothic fiction, Poe established himself as a master of metaphors, which he used with astonishing fluency and precision. The results of the analysis demonstrate how and in which way Slovene translators rendered metaphors in the short stories of one of the greatest writers of gothic fiction, and what strategies they used to preserve Poe’s unique, dark, and delirious metaphorical style.

that follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses) guidelines for research assessing information and cyber security maturity. The
period from 2012 to 2024 was considered and the final collection of 96 studies was taken
into account. Our findings were summarised in two stages, a quantitative analysis and
a qualitative synthesis. In the first part, various quantitative indicators were used to
analyse the evolution of the information and cyber security maturity assessment domain
over the last twelve years. The qualitative synthesis, which was limited to 36 research
papers, categorises the studies into three key areas: the development of new maturity
models, the implementation of established models and frameworks, and the advancement
of methodologies to support maturity assessments. The findings reveal significant progress
in sector-specific customisation, the growing importance of lightweight models for small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the integration of emerging technologies. This
study provides important insights into the evolving landscape of information and cyber
security maturity assessment and provides actionable recommendations for academia and
industry to improve security resilience and support the adoption of tailored, effective
maturity models

10. Prednosti, ovire, priložnosti in nevarnosti staranja v domačem okolju ter vloga sodobne tehnologije v tem procesuKatarina Babnik, Danijela Lahe, 2024, review article Abstract: Staranje v domačem okolju je sodobna rešitev razvitih držav za spoprijemanje s starajočim se prebivalstvom. Sistematični pregled literature je vodil cilj identificirati prednosti, ovire, nevarnosti in priložnosti (SWOT) staranja v domačem okolju. V sklopu tega cilja naju je zanimala tudi vloga sodobne tehnologije pri staranju v domačem okolju oz. položaj, ki ga ima v evalvacijski shemi SWOT analize sodobna tehnologija. Pregled literature je bil izveden po PRISMA protokolu (EBSCOhost, znanstveni članki, objavljeni med 2011 in 2021) po modelu SWOT analize in z uporabo tematske analize kot tehnike sintetiziranja virov. S pregledom literature so bile posamezne kode združene v osnovne teme ter razvrščene v apriorno določene elemente SWOT analize oz. organizirane teme: prednosti (navezanost na dom, dom kot vir, identiteta, duševno zdravje, učinkovite strategije spoprijemanja s spremembami), ovire (individualni korelati, ranljive skupine, za posameznika specifična interakcija z okoljem, neučinkovite strategije spoprijemanja s spremembami), priložnosti (institucionalna opora bivanju v domačem okolju, specifične intervencije za starejše, specifične intervencije v okolju bivanja, sodobne tehnologije), nevarnosti (pomanjkljiva infrastruktura, družbeno kulturni kontekst, omejitve sodobne tehnologije). Izidi staranja v domačem okolju so odvisni od individualnih, mikro in makro okoljskih dejavnikov ter specifične interakcije osebe z okoljem; sodobna tehnologija pa ima pri tem lahko podporno vlogo, vendar le kot orodje, ki samo po sebi ne zadošča, saj ne naslavlja vseh psihosocialnih in praktičnih potreb starejših. Izključno usmerjanje na implementacijo podpornih tehnologij lahko predstavlja nevarnost staranju v domačem okolju še posebno za ranljive skupine.
