Opis: The article examines the legal nature and transferability of the maximum mortgage under the Slovenian Law of Property Code (Stvarnopravni zakonik or in abbreviation SPZ), focusing on Article 146(4) and its interpretation in case law and theory. It first recalls the accessory nature of liens, which normally follow the secured claim as to creation, scope, transfer and extinction. Against this background, it shows how the maximum mortgage was designed to secure fluctuating or future claims arising from an ongoing creditor–debtor relationship, up to a registered ceiling amount. The authors reconstruct the prevailing Slovenian view that, in the case of a maximum mortgage, the accessory link exists not between individual claims and the mortgage but between the business relationship and the maximum mortgage as a protective right in rem. They contrast this functional understanding with the literal wording of Article 146(4) SPZ, which excludes the transfer of the mortgage when a secured claim is assigned, and with the conservative approach of the Supreme Court. According to its case law, an assigned claim secured by a maximum mortgage is transferred without security, which reduces its market value and narrows the practical usefulness of this instrument. Using German and Austrian law as key comparators, the article argues that the Slovenian solution is unnecessarily rigid and departs from models that allow, under certain conditions, the transfer or transformation of a maximum mortgage into a fixed mortgage when claims are assigned or when the credit relationship is reduced to a single outstanding claim. The authors endorse the more recent doctrinal position and the approach taken by the Higher Court of Ljubljana, under which individual “sub-mortgages” arise within the maximum mortgage and accompany the assigned claim to the new creditor, creating a community of mortgagees governed by general rules of the Obligations Code. The general view that a maximum mortgage is more flexible than a fixed mortgage is, in the Slovenian context, undermined by the current statutory wording and restrictive case law, which call for a systemic and functional reinterpretation of Article 146 SPZ – or, failing that, for legislative reform.

Opis: The automotive industry is increasingly confronted with challenges in managing complex requirements and test cases arising from the integration of advanced electronic systems, software functionalities, and compliance with international standards. Conventional manual validation of requirements is time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive, underscoring the need for more efficient and reliable approaches. This thesis investigates the automation of test case generation through the application of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in combination with Large Language Models (LLMs). A complete RAG workflow was implemented in Python, incorporating LangChain, LangGraph, Ollama, and ChromaDB to facilitate indexing, retrieval, and generation. The system was trained and evaluated on datasets comprising automotive requirements and test cases, with experiments examining embedding quality, retrieval strategies, prompt engineering techniques, and generative model parameters. The results demonstrate that RAG is capable of generating high-quality, contextually relevant test cases on consumer-grade hardware, thereby significantly enhancing efficiency, consistency, and productivity relative to manual methods. Furthermore, the findings suggest that RAG-based systems are best positioned as complementary tools that support, rather than replace, human engineers. This research provides a foundation for future work on hybrid retrieval methods, advanced embedding techniques, and the integration of more powerful LLMs into requirement and test case management processes.

Opis: This study explores how Business and IT Alignment (BITA) influences business performance (PERFO) and corporate sustainability (SPACS) using a mixed-methods case study of an international manufacturing enterprise. The quantitative analysis (PLS-SEM) indicated BITA affects PERFO indirectly through IT service quality (ITSQ), while remote work (EWORK), despite its relation to BITA, showed no significant impact. BITA strongly predicted SPACS by enhancing employees’ sustainability knowledge, confidence, and willingness to act. Qualitative findings from semi-structured interviews revealed a BITA maturity of 3.3 (on a 5-point scale), highlighting its role in sustainability via better decision-making, process optimization, and IT-enabled transparency. Notable discrepancies between managerial and employee perceptions of BITA maturity were identified. Results suggest successful BITA fosters sustainability-oriented behaviour and IT-driven performance improvements, though continuous reinforcement within organizations is required. The study emphasizes the value of integrating qualitative and quantitative methods for comprehensive insights into BITA's impact.

Opis: This paper aims to explore the patterns in micro, small-, and medium-sized enterprises’ (MSMEs) digital transformation journey during recent years. Using an emergent concurrent mixed-methods approach, we combined insights from six in-depth interviews with MSME managers and owners with survey data from 66 MSMEs. The findings reveal major inhibitors and accelerators of MSMEs’ digital transformation and demonstrate how they cope with them by engaging in digitalisation actions. This study also provides insights into how inhibitors, accelerators, and digitalisation actions vary across MSME sizes. While an increased adoption of digital technology was observed among the participating MSMEs, this study identifies three distinct digital transformation paths: necessary, experimental, and committed. Each path is shaped by a unique combination of inhibitors and accelerators. From the practical perspective, this research provides insights for MSME managers and owners on how to tailor their digital transformation efforts to their unique inhibitors and accelerators. In addition, our insights can help policy makers to promote the digital transformation of MSMEs through appropriate measures and support mechanisms tailored to the specific needs of smaller enterprises.

Opis: This study aimed to analyse students' critical thinking profiles and assess teachers' needs for case method learning to improve critical thinking skills. The research method used was qualitative. The study's results reveal that most students' mastered critical thinking skills profiles are indicators of reveals existing facts and drawing conclusions. However, indicators that students have not fully mastered critical thinking are formulating the key issues, selecting logical arguments, conducting analysis, and conducting evaluations. As a result, teachers require a learning method, precisely the case method, to encourage critical thinking skills.
