1. Housing and living conditions of youth - caught between COVID-19 and structural challengesRudi Klanjšek, Iva Odak, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter explores the housing and living conditions of youth in Slovenia and Croatia, highlighting how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing structural challenges. The pandemic intensified housing insecurity through job losses, campus closures, and forced returns to parental homes, increasing stress, anxiety, and family strain. Youth in both countries leave home considerably later than the EU average, with financial constraints representing the main barrier to independent living. Croatia faces particularly high overcrowding rates, while in both contexts, housing deprivation is strongly linked to poorer mental health and lower life satisfaction. A severe affordability crisis, driven by rapidly rising housing prices and insufficient public housing, has further delayed transitions to autonomy. These trends reflect broader issues of labour market precarity, deregulated housing markets, and limited social investment. Policy implications include the urgent need for expanded social housing, rent subsidies, anti-speculation measures, and integrated youth-oriented strategies linking housing, employment, and mental health to ensure sustainable pathways toward independence and well-being. Ključne besede: youth housing, affordability, overcrowding Objavljeno v DKUM: 16.09.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 3

2. New Centrality: Urban Regeneration on the Crossroad of Gosposvetska Street and Vrbanska Street in MariborGenci Hani, 2024, magistrsko delo Opis: Maribor was one of the cities with the fastest industrial development in the former Yugoslavia. The rapid growth necessitated developments and expansion of the city. One of the areas that developed to accommodate the influx of new residents and adapt to the city's growth was the area along Gosposvetska Street. This zone was constructed during the 1950s and 1960s with a clear concept aimed at fulfilling all the basic needs of the residents, prioritizing their well-being. Since then, many things have changed. The use of cars has become essential. Open spaces initially dedicated to residents have turned into parking lots while development in other aspects leaves much to be desired. In the years that followed, construction in the area has been minimal and primarily residential. There is a noticeable lack of a common space and programs to attract a more diverse population. This master's thesis aims to analyze the current functioning of the specific area along Gosposvetska Street and its crossroads with Vrbanska Street and attempts to propose its urban regeneration by densifying the built structure with housing and diversifying programs by a new creative hub. By intensifying the urban mix, the proposal is expected to act as a catalyst for other commercial and public programs in the zone. It aims at establishing new centrality. Moreover, the goal is to prioritize the residents' right to the city and regenerate the area with its original concept as a guiding principle.

3. Effect of immunocastration and housing conditions on pig carcass and meat quality traitsMartin Škrlep, Klavdija Poklukar Žnidaršič, Kevin Kress, Milka Vrecl, Gregor Fazarinc, Nina Batorek Lukač, Ulrike Weiler, Volker Stefanski, Marjeta Čandek-Potokar, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The present study investigated the effects of immunocastration and housing conditions on carcass, meat, and fat quality traits. Immunocastrates (IC, n = 48), entire (EM, n = 48), and surgical castrates (SC, n = 48) male pigs were reared under three different housing conditions. The conditions were standard (n = 36), enriched (n = 36, twice as much space as standard and additional outdoor access), or standard with repeated social mixing (n = 72). Pigs of the IC group were vaccinated at the age of 12 and 22 wk. The animals were slaughtered in four batches, balanced for sex category and housing, at the age of 27 wk reaching 124.7 ± 1.0 kg. Immunocastration led to increased fat deposition (i.e., thicker subcutaneous fat at different anatomical locations, more leaf fat, fatter belly in IC than EM, P < 0.05) but did not affect muscularity traits. As a result, EM exhibited higher and SC lower (P < 0.05) carcass leanness than IC. Fatty acids composition of either subcutaneous or intramuscular fat (IMF) agreed with general adiposity, that is, IC were intermediate between EM and SC exhibiting the lowest and highest fat saturation (P < 0.05), respectively. Compared to SC, EM exhibited higher (P < 0.05) levels of muscle oxidation and collagen content than SC, with IC taking an intermediate position in the case of the level of peroxidation and collagen content, or closer to SC as regards to oxidation of muscle proteins (i.e., carbonyl groups). Meat quality (including marbling score, cooking loss, subjective color redness, and chroma) of IC was similar to EM, and both differed (P < 0.05) from SC. However, IC and SC had less (P < 0.05) tough meat than EM, consistent with protein oxidation. The effect of housing was less evident. Mixing of pigs resulted in lower (P < 0.05) carcass weight and fatness in all sex categories with lower (P < 0.05) oleic and higher (P < 0.05) arachidonic acid in IMF of EM.

4. Cycles of the housing market in Hungary form the economic crisis until todayLászló Harnos, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main aim of this paper is to identify the underlying reasons for the cyclical nature of the Hungarian housing market, in particular the business cycles, the construction, and market participants’ expectations. Our research was conducted based on analysis of statistical data and of the housing market indices. As a result, it can be stated that cyclic behaviour of the housing market may be explained primarily with business cycles, but state subsidies and mortgages also affect the variations. Accordingly, the increasing lending and the high amount of subsidies can generate a price bubble. The supply of second-hand dwellings looks more flexible compared with that of new ones. However, the expectations of market operators do not have a demonstrable effect on the housing market.

5. Termination of tenancy contract in Slovenia : time for changeŠpela Mežnar, Tamara Petrović, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article is concerned with the currently most critical part of the 2003 Housing Act: the regulation of the termination of a tenancy contract. We will try to show that the current system is outdated, incomplete and unproportionate when it comes to safeguarding the interests of both parties. Nowadays, a rental contract may be terminated by the landlord only in a court procedure. Moreover, if a landlord wants to use the apartment himself, he may terminate a tenancy contract only if he is able to secure the tenant with a new, adequate apartment. On the other hand, the tenant living in the apartment with a (silent or express) consent of the landlord upon the expiry of a limited-in time tenancy, is considered an illegal occupant. Accordingly, the landlord may file for eviction any time even if the tenant regularly pays the rent for years after the expiry of the initial contract. We will argue why and in what manner these provisions shall be changed.

6. The panel VAR approach to modelling the housing wealth effect : evidence from selected European post-transition economiesAnita Čeh Časni, Ksenija Dumičić, Josip Tica, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Following Friedman’s permanent income hypothesis and Ando and Modigliani’s lifecycle hypothesis, this paper empirically studies the role of house prices and income in determining the dynamic behaviour of consumption in selected European post-transition economies using the panel vector autoregression (PVAR) approach and quarterly data covering the period from the first quarter of 2002 until the second quarter of 2012. With the shocks being recognized using the customary recursive identification scheme, we found that the response of personal consumption to the housing wealth shock is initially positive, but short lived.

7. Coexistence of different social groups around one of the campuses of the University of PécsBernadett Makkai, Judit Gyüre, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In the process of urban transformation and renewal, large numbers of immigrants are expected in connection with the existence of prosperous branches of industry. It is assumed that in an environment where higher education is one of the most important economic factors, there will be conflicts in the everyday coexistence of social groups. The aim of this study is to investigate, in a city quarter which was forced to transform due to economic structural changes, and which has a bold mixture of ageing people and temporary university residents, how the coexistence of different groups of the society influences the quality of life in the quarter, and how the situation is perceived by the affected people themselves. Furthermore, we want to see what kinds of tension arise from the interactions between these groups with dissimilar/different background, and what possible solutions can be found to resolve such tension.

8. Hungarian challenges of housing block regeneration : a case study of Uránváros, city of PécsAndrás Trócsányi, Kristóf Orbán, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: As post-socialist suburbanisation is about to decline, and the buildings of cities start to age rapidly, more and more attention is focused on city rehabilitation in East-Central Europe as well, which will probably be continued in the near future by the rehabilitation of early housing estates. Through an example, the current study shows the challenges such an action faces. Based on the comparison of demands with scenarios that were drawn up from data bases originating from a diverse methodology, it appears that the most reasonable idea would be to generally apply the basic principles of diversification and selecto-concentration, but the uniqueness of individual housing blocks requires that planning is done on an individual basis.

9. Is technology sector in a bubble?Tadej Kelc, 2017, diplomsko delo Opis: The thesis is dealing with the question if the U.S. technology sector is in the bubble. Besides the main aim of this thesis, we are also interested in what the changes are in recent stock market bubbles. The analysis of the sector is key to the investors, because with the early identification of a bubble, they can allocate their funds to other less risky investments. On the other hand, the investors can with the analysis of the sector find out if specific sector is undervalued and thus make above average revenue.
Our analysis is based on the study of relative indicators, such as: P/E, P/B, CAPE, P/B, P/S and MarketCap/GDP. We studied the last two historic bubbles and analyzed the current state on the U.S. stock markets. The analysis is focused on the last part of the thesis, where we evaluated what is the current market sentiment in the U.S. stock market, especially in the technology sector. The results are compared to the technology bubble of 2000. In the analysis, we are using U.S. stock market indices as well as the global ones.
U.S. stock market is overvalued, which can be argued with high values of the relative indicators compared to the historical average. Some of them show, that market was valued higher only during the Great Depression in 1929 and during the technological bubble in 2000. Remarkably high values are the result of low interest rates and quantitative easing of central banks. The current expansive monetary politics is encouraging risky businesses and increasing credit businesses. The indicator, showing this kind of operations, is the value of investment financed with credit, which is constantly rising in the U.S. since 2009. As a result, stocks and stock indices are increasing as well. With potential abatement of tax rates and other measures of expansive fiscal politics, stock markets could reach even higher values.
Currently, we are in the ninth year of bull trend, which is close to the record of 1991, which lasted for nearly a decade. Since 2009, there is optimism prevailing in U.S. stock market, which is reflecting in above average revenue. The feature of the stock market bubble is that it is developing slowly and persistently, thus the main question arises, when will this optimism turn into fear and pessimism, or better said, when will the stock market bubble burst. Still, no one has the answer to that yet.

10. The milk quality and feasibility analysis of loose housing dairy cows : a case studyMarjan Janžekovič, Črtomir Rozman, 2006, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The aim of the study was technological and economical analysis of free range cow breeding. The case study analyzed two different systems of holstein-fresian dairy cows breeding. The model total costs enterprise budget was developed for evaluation of economic feasibility of loose housing dairy cows in comparison with tied cow breeding system. Computer supported calculation enabled estimation of the most important economical parameters (net return, observed input parameters) loose housing system is economically feasible, if there is a minimum of 41 dairy cows with an average milk production of 8610 kg per cow. It was also established that cows need approximately 6 months to fully adapt to the loose hausing system.
