Cumulative steel replacement prediction in severely corrosion - affected bulk carriers
Systematic studies on long-term cumulative steel replacement in ships are virtually absent, despite their importance for ship design, maintenance of ageing vessels, and sustainable shipping. Extensive ultrasonic thickness measurement reports and steel renewal records collected throughout the operational lives of 12 bulk carriers were presented and analysed to quantify cumulative steel replacement at both the ship and their lightweight groups. By combining these data with benchmark shipyard information,...

Student Preferences in Shaping the Learning Space and Their Impact on the Educational Process
The physical environment in which learning takes place has increasingly been recognized as an important factor influencing students' motivation, emotions, and academic performance. Contemporary approaches to the design of educational environments emphasize the need for evidence-based planning that considers students' experiences and learning preferences. The aim of this study was to identify the spatial characteristics that students perceive as contributing most significantly to productive learning...

EU Conditionality and Climate Governance in Montenegro: A Case Study of Environmental Policy Transformation
EU accession requires candidate countries to adapt environmental legislation and institutions, but the implications for implementation and environmental outcomes remain uneven. This article examines that relationship in Montenegro, using Slovenia and Croatia as historical reference cases around accession. Documentary analysis is combined with descriptive comparisons of municipal waste generation, recycling and greenhouse gas emissions excluding land use, land-use change and forestry. For Montenegro,...
