The Synergy of industrial symbiosis, social media, and sustainable development : shaping a circular future
Erika Džajić Uršič, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph

Abstract: This chapter explores the dynamic interplay between industrial symbiosis and social media as catalysts for sustainable development. Industrial symbiosis as a circular economy approach and digital innovation are now tangible and unstoppable realities that profoundly affect every sector of our society, while social media and the web serve as crucial and indispensable platforms for dissemination. This is like a stage and a privileged forum from which to observe, understand and attempt to change the complexity of reality. This combination is particularly relevant for the new generations. Social networks are integral to companies’ and brands’ new communication and sustainable development models. This chapter discusses industrial symbiosis, a collaborative concept where industries share resources and waste. Simultaneously, it explores how the changing role of social media aligns with these principles, promoting a more responsible and aware approach to development and communication.
Keywords: industrial symbiosis, social media, sustainable development, social networks

Aligning stakeholder governance with industry 5.0 : enablers and barriers in rural bioeconomy transformation
Tamara Besednjak Valič, Erika Džajić Uršič, Janja Lozar, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph

Abstract: Integrating bioeconomy principles into the emerging Industry 5.0 agenda is presented as a way to reconcile competitiveness with sustainability, resilience, and human-centric development. This chapter examines how stakeholder governance in rural regions enables or constrains such transformations, with a particular focus on the roles of governance enablers and barriers in the relevance of territorial/local self-government. Conceptually, it links debates on stakeholder governance, the bioeconomy, and Industry 5.0, arguing that rural bioeconomy pathways are shaped by the interplay of institutions, networks, and cognitive frames, rather than technology or markets alone. This article examines how stakeholder governance arrangements enable or constrain rural bioeconomy transformation across three case regions (Slovenia, Montenegro, and Baden-Württemberg). Using Industry 5.0 as a normative frame and SOFIA as an analytical coding approach, it identifies key institutional, network, and cognitive enablers and barriers, and derives governance-relevant implications for territorial development.
Keywords: biogospodarstvo, Industry 5.0, stakeholder governance, rural development, circular economy, multi-level governance

Attachment and psychopathology in children and adolescents : a cross-sectional study of children with type 1 diabetes and their healthy peers
Anja Turin, Maja Drobnič Radobuljac, Nataša Bratina, Sašo Karakatič, Tadej Battelino, Klemen Dovč, Simona Klemenčič, 2026, original scientific article

Abstract: Introduction: Secure attachment develops in early relationships between infants and their caregivers, providing a foundation for emotional security and mental health across the lifespan. In contrast, insecure attachment is associated with maladaptive stress response and an increased risk of both internalizing and externalizing mental health problems. This study examined the association between attachment (in)security and psychopathology in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with healthy peers. We also considered caregivers’ attachment security and traumatic life events to better understand interacting biopsychosocial factors in children living with a chronic illness.Methods: A group of children with T1D (N = 101) and a group of healthy control children (N = 106) aged 8–15 years and one of their parents were included in the study. A Child Attachment Interview (CAI) was conducted with the children and a Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS) with the parents to assess their attachment security. Stressful life events in the children’s lives were recorded using a questionnaire on the traumatic events (LITE). The children’s psychopathology was assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Youth Self-Report (YSR). Descriptive analyses and linear regression models were used to analyze the data.Results: Fifty-nine percent of children had secure attachment, 39% were dismissing, and 2% preoccupied; 16% were classified as disorganized. No significant difference in psychopathology was found between children with T1D and their healthy peers. However, insecure/disorganized attachment was associated with higher psychopathology scores. Simple regression showed positive associations between psychopathology and child attachment insecurity, maternal attachment anxiety, and traumatic life events. A more complex model revealed that male sex, the presence of T1D, maternal attachment anxiety in older children, and the interaction between maternal attachment anxiety and traumatic life events were significantly associated with higher levels of psychopathology.Conclusion: Children with insecure, particularly disorganized, attachment showed higher levels of psychopathology. However, when interaction effects were considered, other factors—such as sex, parental attachment, traumatic life events, and chronic illness—emerged as stronger predictors. These findings highlight the importance of attachment- and trauma-informed care that addresses multiple risk factors to support child and family mental health.

Understanding public opinion formation in Southeast Europe : exploring social forces and communication dynamics
Todor Stojčevski, Urša Lamut, Erika Džajić Uršič, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: The article investigates the mechanisms through which social forces, networks, cognitive frames, and institutions shape public opinion in Southeast Europe via communication. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected through synchronous focus groups conducted in six Southeast European countries. The findings reveal that social networks play a pivotal role in shaping public opinion, with organizational position and relationships influencing communication effectiveness. Cognitive frames significantly impact public perception, with entrenched beliefs guiding interpretation of information. Meanwhile, social institutions, such as language and communication rules, influence the clarity and accessibility of messages, thereby shaping public understanding. The research underscores the need for deeper research, ethical standards, and transparent communication to build and maintain public trust. Continuous engagement with the public and adaptability in communication strategies are essential for fostering mutual understanding and trust. This research emphasizes social forces’ complexity and overlapping nature in shaping public opinion and the strategic approaches required for effective communication in Southeast Europe.

The tale of words and power : institutional narratives in Southeast Europe
Todor Stojčevski, Urša Lamut, Erika Džajić Uršič, 2026, original scientific article

Abstract: The article examines how institutional frameworks influence communication strategies and public engagement across six countries in Southeastern Europe. Findings from focus group discussions reveal that formalized communication rules enhance credibility and consistency, but hinder adaptability, especially when engaging younger audiences who prefer informal and visual communication styles. Communicator literacy fosters clarity, trust, and audience connection, including adapting language and employing rhetorical and emotional intelligence. Leadership amplifies the perceived authority of institutional messages, increasing public responsiveness. Regional complexities, such as multilingual requirements for national minorities, highlight the tension between inclusivity and efficiency. Grounded in the social-fields-approach, the article emphasizes the interplay between institutional structures, sociocultural contexts, and public opinion formation. Institutions must adopt adaptive and inclusive strategies to effectively engage diverse publics and foster trust.

Investigation of ceramic powders using piezoresponse force microscopy
Nejc Suban, Silvo Drnovšek, Hana Uršič Nemevšek, 2026, original scientific article

Abstract: Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is a widely used technique for probing the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of ceramic materials at the nanoscale. However, its application to ceramic powders remains challenging due to the irregular non-flat shape of the powders. In this study, an approach for PFM analysis of ceramic powders is presented, where ceramic powders are embedded in polymer resin and polished to achieve flat surface for PFM imaging. The approach is demonstrated on ferroelectric PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 (PZT) and 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.35PbTiO3 (PMN-35PT) powders. PFM imaging reveals the piezoelectricity within the powder particles and localises the ferroelectric domains within them, while the PFM switching spectroscopy experiment is used to observe the domain switching behavior.
Keywords: ceramic powder, piezoresponse force microscopy
