1. An analysis of physical asset management core practices and their influence on operational performanceDamjan Maletič, Matjaž Maletič, Basim Al-Najjar, Boštjan Gomišček, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: The commitment of organisations to physical assets management (PAM) has recently received considerable attention in theory and practice. Indeed, PAM plays a key role in asset-intensive organizations and is also considered as a principal actor within Industry 4.0. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the PAM core practices and the performance implications of integrating these practices into business, in particular by assessing their impact on operational performance. Survey data were collected from managers in 138 international and local organisations. The data was analysed using Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM). The study validates the second-order construct consisting of PAM latent variables, namely Strategy and Planning, Risk management, Lifecycle Delivery, Asset Information, and Asset Review. The results have shown that PAM core practices directly influence operational performance. This paper is a response to recent calls for empirical studies on the organisational approaches that can increase the success of organisations.

2. The link between asset risk management and maintenance performance : a study of industrial manufacturing companiesDamjan Maletič, H. Pačaiová, A. Nagyová, Matjaž Maletič, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine risk management practices and their impact on performance. Specifically, the study aimed to examine risk management practices as part of physical asset management and their impact on maintenance management and its performance.
Methodology/Approach: The empirical data were obtained from 76 manufacturing companies. Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) was applied to evaluate the measurement and structural model.
Findings: The results emphasized the importance of integrating risk management practices into asset management processes in order to improve performance outcomes.
Research Limitation/Implication: This study contributes to a better understanding of how companies could achieve higher performance results by implementing risk management practices. The results of this study can help managers identify key asset risk management practices. Despite the important implications that can be derived from this study, further research that would extend the model to include additional performance measures and/or asset management dimensions would be of great importance.
Originality/Value of paper: By analyzing the interrelationships between asset risk management practices and their direct and indirect effects on maintenance performance, the study provides important insights for the development of strategies to promote the novel and important discipline of asset management.

4. The Impact of Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Parameters on Match Running Performance (MRP) in National-Level Football Players : a multiple regression analysisRadivoje Radaković, Borko Katanić, Mima Stanković, Bojan Mašanović, Suzana Žilič Fišer, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the association between cardiorespiratory and
metabolic parameters and match running performance (MRP) in highly trained football players. The
sample of participants consisted of 41 national-level football players (aged 23.20 ± 3.40 years, body
height 182.00 ± 5.15 cm, and body mass 76.86 ± 6.06 kg) from the Serbian Super league. For the
purposes of this research, the following measurements were applied. A maximal multistage progressive treadmill test, with a direct measurement of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) (using
Fitmate MED, Cosmed, Rome, Italy) was conducted, alongside continuous heart rate monitoring.
Capillary blood samples were taken from the hyperemic area using specific test strips, and, after
sample collection, lactate concentration was immediately determined using a lactate analyzer. MRP
variables were analyzed according to the BioIRC model of motion structure analysis, based on existing
standards for profiling movement intensity. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated
an association between cardiac parameters and total distance (R2 = 54.3%, p = 0.000), high-speed
running (R2 = 46.4%, p = 0.000), and jogging (R2 = 33.6%, p = 0.004). Regression analysis revealed
an association between cardiorespiratory parameters and total distance (R2 = 24.8%, p = 0.014), and
high-speed running (R2 = 20%, p = 0.039). Meanwhile, no association was found between lactate
concentration and running performance. The explanation for these regression analysis results is based
on the observation that functional abilities represent significant potential for expressing movement
performance, a crucial condition for success in football.
