1. Entrepreneurship in a New RealityMiroslav Rebernik, 2021 Opis: Entrepreneurship is the strongest driver of economic growth and development and has a very large impact on overall social development. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) has a history of 22 years of entrepreneurship research, with a special focus on the earliest stages, when business opportunities are perceived and individuals decide whether to engage in entrepreneurship. Their direct living environment, especially the prevailing cultural values, the company's tendency to entrepreneurship and the orderliness of the business environment, have a great influence on the involvement of individuals in entrepreneurial activities. Accordingly, the conceptual framework of GEM is set, which enables the treatment of individuals and their attitude towards entrepreneurship, perception of entrepreneurship and involvement in the establishment and / or ownership and management of a company. With its help, we can therefore gain a deeper insight into national entrepreneurship and its characteristics and a more complete picture than can be provided by various statistical sources based solely on data obtained from existing companies.

3. Reviewing the narrative concerning the impact of population growth in AfricaCocou Marius Mensah, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article discusses the topic of population growth in Africa, a recurring theme in the era of climate change and the fight against CO2 emissions. The African continent is full of essential raw materials and encompasses the youngest population in the world. There is no doubt concerning the significant role it will play in global affairs, at a time when the world population is ageing, according to the UN statistics. In recent years, many policymakers have highlighted the necessity to deal with overpopulation, provoking moral controversial and basic human rights abuses. This article, however, proposes an opposite argumentation based on fresh data and emphasises the opportunities and challenges to take on, as the author considers "overpopulation" as more of a challenge than a sentence to underdevelopment. Though the paper mentions different issues linked to overpopulation, such as migration crisis, ecological sustainability and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it concludes with a reminder of the importance of international cooperation as a solution to global issues.
Ključne besede: global issues, impact of population growth, migration trends, international cooperation, pollution, African Union, European Union, UN sustainable development goals, environmental footprint

4. Kompetence vodje pasjega hotelaKatja Podgoršek, 2020, magistrsko delo Opis: Živimo v negotovih časih, spremembe so stalnica v današnjem vsakdanu, zato so ustrezno kompetentni in motivirani zaposleni, ki znajo uporabljati svoja znanja, veščine in kompetence tudi v nepredvidljivih okoliščinah, nuja za obstoj in preživetje organizacij na trgu. V magistrskem delu govorimo o kompetencah, ki smo jih opredelili kot posamezna znanja, lastnosti in sposobnosti posameznika, ki jih le ta potrebuje za uspešno opravljanje dela na svojem delovnem mestu. Na primeru organizacije, ki se je odločila za razvoj profila kompetenc vodje, smo prikazali oblikovanje kompetenčnega profila za delovno mesto vodje pasjega hotela. S ciljem sistematičnega razvoja kompetenc in izboljšanja produktivnost smo organizaciji dali orodje za lažje prilagajanje spremembam ter še večjega zadovoljstva in zaupanja strank. Hkrati smo oblikovali primer dobre prakse na področju, ki je še dokaj neraziskano. Za oblikovanje kompetenčnega profila smo uporabili kvalitativno metodo in sicer smo v prvem koraku najprej dodobra spoznali in analizirali dotično delovno mesto ter s pomočjo pridobljenih podatkov oblikovali šest ključnih kompetenc za izbrano delovno mesto. Sledila je analiza 360 stopinj z namenom ocene kompetenc vodje. Rezultati analize so si bili kljub oceni s strani štirih različnih skupin ocenjevalcev enotni, in potrdili, da vodja hotela izkazuje ustrezno raven kompetenc glede na kompetenčni profil delovnega mesta.
Ključne besede: • Kompetenca, • Model kompetenc ali kompetenčni model, • Analiza 360 stopinj, • Varstvo psov, • Vseživljenjski razvoj (angleško: Life-span development).

5. Developing a Multifunctional Walking Aid: Combining Crutches and Nordic Walking PolesBea Mihelič Vastl, 2020, magistrsko delo Opis: Research work focuses on finding solutions for a multifunctional walking aid. The aim of the research task is to develop a device that will simultaneously include the function of Nordic walking poles and crutches. The purpose of product development is to provide the end user with rapid and effective rehabilitation after injury or sprain of the lower extremities (legs, feet). The multifunctional product development methodology thus includes the theory of walking aids, market research, walking technique and review of materials. The practical part presents conceptual solutions based on research and findings, their evaluation and design of the selected product. The final solution is presented with a 3D model, renders and function descriptions.
Ključne besede: multifunctional aid, crutches, Nordic walking poles, product development

6. A Variety of Entrepreneurial MotivesMiroslav Rebernik, Karin Širec, Polona Tominc, Katja Crnogaj, Matej Rus, Barbara Bradač Hojnik, 2020, znanstveno delo Opis: In the world’s largest longitudinal survey, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), we have been exploring important features of entrepreneurship for 21 years, with particular emphasis on the earliest stages when business opportunities are perceived and individuals decide whether to engage in entrepreneurship. GEM was designed to (1) measure differences in attitudes towards entrepreneurship, activities and aspirations of individuals in as many countries as possible, (2) identify factors that encourage or hinder entrepreneurial activity, especially in relation to societal values, personal characteristics and the entrepreneurial ecosystem, (3) provide a platform for assessing the impact of entrepreneurial activity on economic growth in a given economy, and (4) identify the necessary policy measures to strengthen entrepreneurship. With the help of this research, we better understand society's attitude towards entrepreneurship and characteristics of the individual, such as perception of one's own abilities for entrepreneurial activity, ability to perceive opportunities, entrepreneurial intentions, and fear of failure. As GEM monitors entrepreneurial activity throughout the phases of the life cycle (nascent, new businesses and established businesses, discontinuation), according to impact (high growth, innovation, internationalization) and by type (early-stage entrepreneurship activity, employee entrepreneurship activity), the picture is much richer than the one that is based only on data gathered from ordinary statistical databases.

8. Electrified powertrain configuratorJernej Kosi, 2019, magistrsko delo Opis: This master’s thesis describes the development, use and simulation results of the Excel based electrified powertrain configurator tool. First, different electrified powertrains are introduced and divided based on the powertrain type. Within the scope of this master’s thesis, we focused on battery electric vehicles. A mathematical vehicle model was developed to describe different battery electric vehicle powertrain architectures. The mathematical vehicle model was implemented in Excel. The performance of the Excel tool was demonstrated by simulating various driving cycles. To evaluate the accuracy and usability of the tool, simulation results from Excel tool were compared with those from AVL Cruise.
