Opis: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for shaping the tourist spatial identity of the city and to take advantage of it to discover alternative urban outdoor spaces. As the number of indoor visitors has been limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, open urban areas such as streets, squares and parks have become more important tourist locations. Design/methodology/approach – The assessment methodology consists of two basic steps. In the first step, the authors look for places or points that are carriers of spatial identity. For this purpose, the method of mental mapping is used. In the second step, statistical methods are used to evaluate the spatial suitability for the most common tourist activities. To obtain a holistic picture, a temporal component is included. Findings – The application of the methodology is presented in the form of a case study. The obtained research results provide an insight into the spatial situation of the city of Maribor (Slovenia, Europe). Tourist spatial identity of a city depends on time. Based on the value of spatial sensitivity indicator and the suitability of activities, it is possible to adapt the tourist offer to the temporal component. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is an original perspective on the spatial identity of tourists. The presented approach could be integrated as a good practice in any other city worldwide. It supports the identification of suitable outdoor tourist places that are memorable, cosy, multifunctional and can be recommended by city guides (mobile or printed books). Every city has many hidden gems that tourists have yet to discover

Opis: Since the discovery of the first nanoparticles, scientists have developed controlled-release drugs, in which nanoparticles play a crucial role as drug carriers. Nanoparticles enable targeted and controlled release, but also face some challenges in their application, production and storage in vivo. The most used nanoparticles for drug encapsulation are liposomes. Liposomes consist of a lipid bilayer membrane that separates the inner hydrophilic/aqueous core from the surrounding environment. In the process known as encapsulation, an active ingredient is added that is either hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Their production is a challenge. Therefore, various production methods have been developed (thin film hydration, reverse phase evaporation, microfluidic methods, etc.) to achieve high encapsulation efficiency, stability and improved drug delivery in vivo. In medical treatment, liposomes are already used as carriers for analgesics, drugs to prevent and treat a variety of diseases (fungal, bacterial, and viral infections) and chemotherapeutics to treat various types of cancer (docetaxel, paclitaxel, doxorubicin, etc.). This article gives an insight into the methods of liposome production, ranging from conventional to more modern techniques with their advantages and disadvantages of the encapsulated substances and their use in medicine.

Opis: This study investigates the relationship between ESG ratings and a firm’s financial performance, focusing on Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Using a combination of stepwise linear regression and feedforward neural networks (FFNN), we assess both the linear and nonlinear effects of ESG on financial performance. The regression models identify ESG as a significant, positively correlated factor in explaining financial performance, alongside firm demographics, sector affiliation, and financial indicators. Neural networks reveal nonlinear dynamics, particularly for ROA, suggesting threshold effects in the ESG–performance relationship. Sensitivity analysis confirms that ESG’s influence strengthens at higher values. Our findings highlight that ESG is not only statistically relevant but also interacts with firm characteristics in complex ways. These results contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable finance by showing that ESG can be a meaningful driver of financial outcomes, especially when modeled through nonlinear approaches.
