The tale of words and power
The article examines how institutional frameworks influence communication strategies and public engagement across six countries in Southeastern Europe.

Exploring the development of Slovenian sociological science
One way to demonstrate the research focus and progress in a scientific field is through scientific publishing. Scientific articles are a starting point for analyzing the main topics, concerns, and author networks within a specific domain. This way, we can track the development of the discipline. Through publications, researchers create narratives that reveal the direction and development of specific disciplines. These narratives help form scienti…

The Circular Economy is one of the most prominent cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral concepts to emerge in recent decades. It has permeated academia, policymaking, business, NGOs, and the general public, leading to numerous applications of the concept, some of which only partially overlap. In this article, we review recent debates and research trends in the Circular Economy, outlining the ten most common groups of its conceptualizations using …

The findings reveal that social networks play a pivotal role in shaping public opinion, with organizational position and relationships influenc…
Social Challenges and Social Gerontology Competencies
The trend toward an aging population observed in Slovenia is one of the major problems as in other developed countries within the European Union. The goal of the paper was to analyse the state of the art of the field, and suggest a potential set of variables for measurement instruments with appropriate Social Gerontology (SG) competencies for educational programs. Using the mixed method approach, the aim of the paper was to observe and suggest th…
Modeling and Evaluation of the Possibilities of Forming a Regional Industrial Symbiosis Networks
Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a term used to describe a network of diverse organizations that make use of different byproducts to improve their ability to achieve common goals, improve environmental conditions, and/or improve business and technical processes. In this paper, we propose a model for evaluation of the possibilities of the establishment of such IS on a regional level. This paper studied a benchmark of seven IS examples, which are used …
