1. The changing world dynamics of research performanceMarko Marhl, Rene Markovič, Vladimir Grubelnik, Matjaž Perc, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In recent years, a notable diversification in the geographical representation of the World's top universities could be observed. Chinese universities play an increasingly prominent role in these rankings, thus indicating that we might be in the midst of a regional shift in academic performance. To explore this dynamics, we analyze seven years' worth of data used for university rankings by academic subjects from the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). We focus on China, Europe, the USA, and other global regions of the world. We find that China has indeed seen an unprecedented growth in Engineering and Life Sciences research, positioning itself rather firmly as a leader in these fields. Conversely, the USA leads in the Social Sciences, while Europe excels in Geography, Ecology, Public and Business Administration, and Pharmacy. Other regions worldwide stand out in Transportation Science, Nursing, and Hospitality & Tourism Management. These results reveal the evolving landscape of global academic research, highlighting regional strengths and emerging world trends in subject-specifc excellence.

3. An analysis of physical asset management core practices and their influence on operational performanceDamjan Maletič, Matjaž Maletič, Basim Al-Najjar, Boštjan Gomišček, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

6. The link between asset risk management and maintenance performance : a study of industrial manufacturing companiesDamjan Maletič, H. Pačaiová, A. Nagyová, Matjaž Maletič, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

8. Automatic classification of older electronic texts into the Universal Decimal Classification-UDCMatjaž Kragelj, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Purpose:The purpose of this study is to develop a model for automated classification of old digitised texts to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), using machine-learning methods.
Design/methodology/approach: The general research approach is inherent to design science research, in which the problem of UDC assignment of the old, digitised texts is addressed by developing a machine-learning classification model. A corpus of 70,000 scholarly texts, fully bibliographically processed by librarians, was used to train and test the model, which was used for classification of old texts on a corpus of 200,000 items. Human experts evaluated the performance of the model.
Findings: Results suggest that machine-learning models can correctly assign the UDC at some level for almost any scholarly text. Furthermore, the model can be recommended for the UDC assignment of older texts. Ten librarians corroborated this on 150 randomly selected texts.
Research limitations/implications: The main limitations of this study were unavailability of labelled older texts and the limited availability of librarians.
Practical implications: The classification model can provide a recommendation to the librarians during their classification work; furthermore, it can be implemented as an add-on to full-text search in the library databases.
Social implications: The proposed methodology supports librarians by recommending UDC classifiers, thus saving time in their daily work. By automatically classifying older texts, digital libraries can provide a better user experience by enabling structured searches. These contribute to making knowledge more widely available and useable.
Originality/value: These findings contribute to the field of automated classification of bibliographical information with the usage of full texts, especially in cases in which the texts are old, unstructured and in which archaic language and vocabulary are used.

9. Development of biomimetic sensors to determine the functionality of in vitro cell modelsMatjaž Frangež, Noah Emil Glisik, Maša Kaiser, Jaro Vezjak, Matic Žnidaršič, Tanja Zidarič, Tina Maver, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Advances in biomedical science have enabled the development of in vitro models that mimic human tissues. Non-invasive real-time monitoring of these models would provide valuable insights without disrupting the cellular environment. This study explores the use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for this purpose, focusing on insulin and lactate as biomarkers of cellular metabolism. MIP sensors were created by electropolymerizing pyrrole around insulin or lactate templates on carbon electrodes. The sensors showed high sensitivity and selectivity, with detection ranges of 20.0–70.0 pM for insulin (LOD: 2.41 pM) and 0.5–3.0 mM for lactate. These findings highlight MIPs’ potential for personalized diagnostics and therapy monitoring.
