18. Efficient energy use and renewable sources of energy in SloveniaŠtefan Bojnec, Drago Papler, 2011, original scientific article Abstract: This paper presents unique survey results with opinions on the competitive supply and efficient energy use, sources of energy and renewable sources of energy. The multivariate factor analysis with three common factors confirms the significance of the price competitive supply of energy, energy costs for the economy, and the sustainable energy supply development and ecological perception in the energy use. Among renewable sources of energy, significance is given to the solar, hydro, biogas, and biomass energy, where the energy useand the renewable energy production in agriculture can play a greater role. Education and promotion activities are expressed as important for strengthening the knowledge, awareness, and social responsibility of the sustainable energy development and the use of renewable sources of energy.
Keywords: energy, efficiency, renewable sources, operation management, sustainability, social responsibility

19. Biogas energy development in SloveniaŠtefan Bojnec, Drago Papler, 2013, original scientific article Abstract: This paper analyses the development of the biogas energy production and use in Slovenia. The major concern is given to ecological, economic and technical determinants in decision making process for selection among alternative biogas energy production plants and use of energy for heating and electricity. The investments into the biogas plants have reduced ecological problems from large environmental polluters in urban and rural areas. Among them are sewage systems, food wastes, wastes from large-scale animal farms, and some other wastes from food-processing and food consumption places. The measures of economic policy, particularly guaranteed prices for purchased electricity from biogas production plants are presented that have contributed to the development of green energy production.
Keywords: biogas energy, ecology, sustainable development, Slovenia

20. Energy minimizing mountain ascentGašper Jaklič, Tadej Kanduč, Selena Praprotnik, Emil Žagar, 2012, original scientific article Abstract: In this article, an optimal mountain ascent is studied as a particular problemof a human walking over a rugged terrain. First, an approximation of the terrain is constructed using particular smooth splines-macro-elements. Then a functional measuring the energy consumption along boundary curves of a macro-element is defined. Finally, the corresponding discrete problem of finding the optimal path on a mesh of curves is applied. Numerical results on real-life data indicate that computed paths are a good approximation of hiking paths in nature.
Keywords: mountain ascent, macro-element, minimization, energy, curve on a surface
