1. The fundamental right to a healthy environment and climate-related lawsuitsElijah Sriroshan Sritharan, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Of all the prominent environmental issues in recent decades, global climate change is the most serious and has been widely regarded as the most pressing global environmental problem of the current age. Ongoing carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are behind the planet’s warming trend. The fossil fuel industry has had a unique role in causing, shaping, advancing, and defining the current unsustainable fossil fuel-dependent global economy. Climate science demands we decarbonise our entire economy to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius. This paper builds its arguments starting from the universal recognition of the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment by the United Nations General Assembly in 2022. A healthy and functioning environment is a precondition for human welfare. Recognition of the right to a healthy environment contributes to improved environmental outcomes, including cleaner air, enhanced access to safe drinking water and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. One notable development in recent years has been an explosion in climate litigation. The cases are being brought against governments and corporate emitters for breach of environmental and human rights obligations to pressure them to take more ambitious climate action. The two analysed cases from the Netherlands aptly illustrate that human rights arguments played a crucial role in the rulings. Keywords: Human right to a healthy environment, Human rights-based climate change litigation, Urgenda case, hell judgement, sustainable development goals Published in ReVIS: 06.02.2025; Views: 22; Downloads: 0

6. E-LEARNING PLATFORMS IN CORPORATE TRAINING IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA: ADOPTION AND EFFECTIVENESSVladimir Šterle, 2024, not set Abstract: In 2016, there were over 700 learning management systems on the market. The
estimated market value of LMS in 2016 was 2.6 billion US dollars, while in 2017, it
was 5.7 billion US dollars. According to predictions from some sources, the market
value of LMS will grow to over 19 billion US dollars by 2025.
Where are the companies in Croatia using LMS for employee training? The purpose of this
master’s thesis is to investigate this situation, i.e., the adoption and effectiveness of e-learning
platforms for corporate training purposes across various business sectors in Croatia. As
organizational landscapes evolve, driven by technological innovations and market demand,
ongoing education and development of human capital have become crucial for maintaining
competitiveness in business. This research explores how Croatian businesses integrate
e-learning platforms into their training programs and evaluates the perceived efficacy of such
programs compared to traditional training methods. The study is based on quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies, involving a comprehensive survey of 420 respondents
from diverse industries, as well as a focus group and interviews to obtain more detailed
results. The results indicate a significant preference for e-learning due to its cost-effectiveness
and flexibility, which allows learners to engage with learning content on the basis of a
versatile schedule. However, the findings also suggest that e-learning is less accepted than
traditional face-to-face training or teaching, which is still seen as the more effective solution
among Croatian businesses. These insights draw attention to potential improvements in
e-learning strategies, enhanced interactive elements, more effective mentorship, and better
alignment of instructional designs with learner needs to achieve optimal engagement and
learning outcomes. Keywords: corporate training, employee education, e-learning, learning management system, distance learning, human resource development, lifelong learning Published in ReVIS: 17.09.2024; Views: 367; Downloads: 11

9. The role of transnational value chains in regional innovation. Analysis of Central and Eastern European regions engaged in automotive and electronics production networks : doctoral dissertationCristian Gangaliuc, 2022, doctoral dissertation Abstract: The thesis touches on important concepts of innovation and regional development. Their
empirical relevance for economic and social growth is a subject of active debate. Studies
revealed that interactions have a major impact, de facto, on the capacity to innovate.
Diversifying knowledge sources, joint ventures and co-creational practices can explain much
of the locational factors and innovation in a-spatial networks. With the rise of globalisation,
scholars found that Multinational Corporations and their global production chains are
integrating more and more into regions worldwide. They share practices and engage local
stakeholders in their innovation projects. This research aims to explore the importance of
locational and global factors in this process. The goal is to see how these two forces contribute
to innovation separately and when intertwined regionally, closing the gap between regional and
global innovation frameworks.
The thesis contributes to science by developing a new synthesis model based on mainstream
Innovation theories. It includes the endogenous and exogenous forces that create environmental
pressures and opportunities, pushing economic agents to innovate. The central aspect of this
model is the acknowledgement of the multiscalar nature of innovation. Local institutions,
mindsets and influence from the production chains create conditions and pressures in the
network, which motivates companies to innovate. Depending on the local competencies and the
needs of production networks, it creates various environments for companies. It is up to
enterprises to use created opportunities, which can be local, national or global.
Data collected in eight (distinct) regions in Central and Eastern Europe (active in automotive
and electronics industries) was used in qualitative and logical analysis to observe patterns in
regional behaviour. The results revealed that endogenous and exogenous forces act
circumstantially in each region, partially proving all the hypotheses on endogenous and
exogenous factors and validating the model. Each region displays different rates of local and
regional engagement and, thus, different patterns of innovation, determining their competitive
potential. The research also revealed additional factors (e.g., the importance of trust,
particularities of information diffusion, etc.) relevant to innovation in Central and Eastern
Europe. Keywords: innovation, regional development, transnational value chains, networks, institutions, cognitive mindset, regional-global co-operation Published in ReVIS: 25.10.2022; Views: 1123; Downloads: 82
