1. International energy security risk index - analysis of the methodological settingsIztok Podbregar, Goran Šimić, Mirjana Radovanović, Sanja Filipović, Polona Šprajc, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to analyze model settings of the International Energy Security Risk Index developed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The study was performed using stepwise regression, principal component analysis, and Promax oblique rotation. The conclusion of the regression analysis shows that Crude Oil Price and Global Coal Reserves are sufficient to explain 90% of the variance of the Index. However, if a model that explains 100% of the variance of the Index is chosen and other variables are added, Global Coal Reserves loses importance due to the presence of other parameters in which it is contained. Regardless of the chosen model of analysis, it is evident that there is room for revising the Index and removing variables that do not contribute to its precision. The research showed that the main disadvantage of the variables that make up the Index rests with the fact that the variables are of different degrees of generality, that is, one parameter is contained in other parameters (unclear which other). The research covers data for 25 countries over a 26-year period, with the first year of the research being 1980 and the last 2016 (the latest available report).

2. The international energy security risk index in sustainable energy and economy transition decision making - a reliability analysisIztok Podbregar, Goran Šimić, Mirjana Radovanović, Sanja Filipović, Damjan Maletič, Polona Šprajc, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: The world economy and society are in a complex process of transition characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, further development and management of the transition will largely depend on the quality of the decisions made and, accordingly, on the decision-making process itself. The main goal of this study is to analyze the reliability of International Energy Security Risk Index as a tool to support the process of energy and economy transition decision making, as closely related and highly interdependent phenomena. The index is composed of 29 aggregated variables (grouped into eight categories), and the research is conducted on a research sample of 25 countries over a period of 36 years. The reliability assessment is performed by using Multiple Regression Analysis. Multicollinearity test, plus Multicollinearity test with Variance Inflation Factors, is used for methodological verification. The test results indicate a high degree of unreliability of the Index, as is concluded based on the observed errors in its methodological settings. These errors primarily relate to a high degree of multicollinearity in all 29 variables, whereby independent variables lose their independence and thus jeopardize reliability of the total Index. Out of the eight groups of variables, the fuel imports group is the only one that does not show big methodological errors. The paper presents a recommendation for the improvement of the observed Index (review of the role of individual variables found to be particularly methodologically indicative), as well as a recommendation for different distribution of weighting coefficients.
Keywords: energy and economy transition, decision making, international energy security risk index, multiple regression analysis, multicollinearity test, multicollinearity test with variance inflation factors

4. Globalizacija in prihodnost kadrovske funkcije v slovenskem okoljuMarjetka Lucija Prelog, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: magistrske naloge z naslovom Globalizacija in prihodnost kadrovske funkcije v slovenskem okolju obravnava vpliv globalizacije na upravljanje človeških virov v slovenskih podjetjih. Naloga raziskuje, kako globalni trendi in tehnološki napredek oblikujejo kadrovske prakse ter kakšne izzive to predstavlja za slovenske organizacije. Namen raziskave je analizirati vpliv globalizacije na kadrovsko funkcijo, prepoznati glavne izzive pri implementaciji globalnih praks in predlagati rešitve za prilagoditev tem spremembam.
V teoretičnem delu naloga pojasnjuje ključne pojme globalizacije, njen zgodovinski razvoj in vpliv na svetovno gospodarstvo. Obravnava tudi razvoj in vlogo kadrovske funkcije v sodobnih organizacijah ter spremembe, ki jih prinašata globalizacija in tehnološki napredek. Poseben poudarek je na izzivih, kot so iskanje in zadrževanje talentov, prilagajanje multikulturnim delovnim okoljem in implementacija digitalnih orodij v kadrovske procese.
Raziskovalni del temelji na kvalitativni analizi, ki vključuje intervjuje s petimi slovenskimi kadrovskimi strokovnjaki. Namen teh intervjujev je bil pridobiti vpogled v aktualne prakse in izzive, s katerimi se soočajo slovenska podjetja. Ugotovljeno je, da globalizacija povečuje potrebe po fleksibilnih delovnih pogojih, raznolikosti v kadrih in uporabi digitalnih rešitev. Vendar pa so slovenska podjetja omejena z dostopom do naprednih kadrovskih orodij in s težavami pri prilagajanju globalnih praks lokalnim razmeram.
Zaključek naloge poudarja pomen prilagoditve globalnih trendov lokalnim specifikam ter potrebo po stalnem izobraževanju kadrovskih strokovnjakov. Med priporočili so uvedba prilagodljivih delovnih pogojev, večja vlaganja v razvoj digitalnih kompetenc zaposlenih in večja usmerjenost v strateško kadrovsko načrtovanje. Globalizacija predstavlja izziv, vendar hkrati ponuja priložnosti za razvoj bolj konkurenčnih in inovativnih kadrovskih praks v Sloveniji.

6. Climate change and agriculture management : Western Balkan region analysisFranc Željko Županič, Danka Radić, Iztok Podbregar, 2021, review article Abstract: Background: This paper aims to analyze the possibilities of the agricultural sector of the Western Balkan to assess compliance with the European Green Deal, which provides for the implementation of activities, which should enable the transition to sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation. This paper is among the first to present the causality of agriculture and climate change (status, mitigation, and perspectives) in general and in light of the European Green Deal for the Western Balkan territory.
Main text: Agricultural production is a leading industry in the Western Balkan. Climate change and predictions that temperatures will increase by 4 °C in the coming decades pose a risk not only to agricultural production but also to the safety of the population, because agriculture is the main source of income for a significant part of it. Uncontrolled floods and droughts caused by climate change are a particular danger for agriculture and human existence. This paper demonstrates that agriculture in the WB can be considered critically affected by climate change.
Conclusions:Unless appropriate measures are taken and risk management for water resources and agriculture is improved, there will be a further decrease in precipitation and an increase in dry days by 20%. Such a scenario endangers not only the already vulnerable climate sustainability and biodiversity of the region but also the existence of a population employed in agriculture and the contribution of the agricultural sector to the gross domestic product. However, future planning based on the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) and European Green Deal, the adoption of a related regulatory framework, the establishment and regular monitoring of supporting financing mechanisms, regional cooperation, and improving risk management (with emphasis on the local level) can mitigate the present impact and decrease the expected negative impact of climate change on agriculture and biodiversity in the WB region.

7. Impact of car sharing on urban sustainabilityVasja Roblek, Maja Meško, Iztok Podbregar, 2021, review article Abstract: The article gives us an insight into the key issues of car sharing and its impact on urban sustainability. A selection of 314 articles published in peer-reviewed journals from the Scopus database were analysed using Leximancer 5.0 for Automated Content analysis. A total of seven themes were identified explaining the researched topic of the car sharing situation in Europe, which are sharing, economy, model, systems, electrical car sharing, policy and travel. There are two ways of sharing owned cars in Europe; access to cars from the fleet of private organisations and P2P car sharing. Sustainable environmental solutions in the context of the electrification of cars are used. Car sharing usually takes place online and can be free or for a fee as defined by The European Economic and Social Committee. The article provides an overview of understanding the concept of urban car sharing in Europe.

9. Electricity prices and consumer behavior, case study Serbia - randomized control trials methodIztok Podbregar, Sanja Filipović, Mirjana Radovanović, Olga Mirković-Isaeva, Polona Šprajc, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The aim of this research was to identify energy saving instructions effect on household’s electricity consumption. The research was conducted using Randomized Control Trials, which implied defining a treatment and control group on a sample of 330 households. The research was carried out in Republic of Serbia, where electricity prices are the lowest in Europe and electricity is used inefficiently. For quantitative analysis of data, the Difference in Difference method was used, which compares the changes in electricity consumption over time between the treatment and control group and estimates the overall impact of the energy saving instructions. The research showed that in situations where electricity price is very low, energy saving information does not have the significant impact on change in consumer behavior. However, inefficient use of electricity might be due to the different efficiency of heating devices used. Not only that the low impact of information on energy saving habits may be a consequence of the low will to change habit, but also of the impossibility to change the habit (unless changing the heating device, but this implies expenditures). Results can be used for consideration of changes in organization and regulation of the electricity market in all South Eastern European countries (SEE).

10. Vodenje sistema zaščite in reševanja (zir) v občini vrhnika s poudarkom na delovanju operativnih gasilskih enotBenjamin Svenšek, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: V magistrski nalogi obravnavamo organiziranost sistema zaščite in reševanja v Občini Vrhnika. Ob večjih intervencijah se štab najprej organizira operativno glede na področje nesreče, nato pa v celoti. Štab združuje člane Gasilske zveze Vrhnika in Civilne zaščite Občine Vrhnika, vodi enote za zaščito in reševanje ter načrtuje prihodnje korake. Pri tem je ključno skupno koordinirano vodenje, zato je pomembna analiza trenutnega stanja in ugotovitev potreb po nadgradnji.
Cilj prvega dela magistrske naloge je analizirati delovanje štaba in usposobljenosti članov, ki pokrivajo različna področja sistema zaščite in reševanja. To so gasilci, zdravstveni delavci, logistiki in druge strukture organiziranega delovanja. Cilj drugega dela naloge se osredotoča na analizo organiziranja in vodenja operativnih gasilskih enot ter na njihovo opremljenost.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da ima večina članov številne izkušnje, preostale pa je treba dodatno usposobiti. Analiza je tudi potrdila, da se trenutno velika pozornost posveča na usposobljenosti, gasilcev kot so npr. izobraževanje za gasilskega častnika, usposabljanje za vodenje intervencij za vse poveljnike gasilskih društev in za člane štabov Civilne zaščite in Gasilske zveze Vrhnika. Ena izmed prednosti takšnega sistema je zagotovo medsebojno spoznavanje udeležencev in usklajevanje strokovnih postopkov. Analiza je potrdila pomembnost usposabljanja, saj je hiter odziv na nesrečo pogosto potreben. Povezovanje med gasilci na obmejnih območjih omogoča hitrejše posredovanje, prav tako pa je ključno tudi sodelovanje z ekipo nujne zdravstvene pomoči za zagotovitev učinkovitega reševanja v nujnih primerih.
