Cilj je ovog članka istražiti konceptualizaciju sustavnog vrednovanja, rangiranja i dobrih praksi razmjene alata u okviru politika spolne jednakosti u Europskoj Uniji. U prvom dijelu članka sagledavaju se meke pravne mjere primijenjene u kontekstu suradnje među vladama. Utemeljena na ekstenzivnoj literaturi, u ovoj se studiji te mjere razmatraju kao oblik akademskog znanja koje se na različite načine primjenjuje u okviru javnih politika. Nadalje, u članku se kritiziraju ti alati javnih politika kroz različite varijable koje mogu spriječiti upotrebu znanja. U drugom dijelu članka usredotočuje se na Otvorenu metodu koordinacije i na ulogu Europskog instituta za spolnu jednakost (EIGE) u odnosu na politike spolne jednakosti. Empirijski dio ovog članka fokusira se na kritiku EIGE-ovog Eksternog evaluacijskog izvješća i na različite konceptualizacije upotrebe akademskog znanja koje su predstavljene u ovom kontrolnom dokumentu. Kao takav, ovaj članak nastoji pridonijeti novoj konceptualizaciji tehnokratskih mjera sustavnog vrednovanja, rangiranja i dobrih praksi razmjene unutar visoko ideologiziranog područja politika spolne jednakosti. ; The aim of this article is to explore the conceptualisation of benchmarking, ranking and good practice sharing tools within European Union gender equality policymaking. In the first part, the article looks at these soft law measures applied within intergovernmental cooperation. Stemming from the extensive body of literature, the study approaches these measures as a form of scientific knowledge, which is diversely applied within policymaking. Next, the article directs various points of criticism at these policymaking tools through different variables that may hinder knowledge use. The second section of this article further focuses on the Open Method of Coordination and the role of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) in relation to gender equality policies. The empirical part of this article is focused on the criticism of EIGE's External Evaluation Report and the different conceptualisations of scientific knowledge use which are presented within this audit document. As such, this article aims to contribute to a new conceptualisation of the technocratic tools of benchmarking, ranking and good practice sharing within the highly ideological area of gender equality policies.

Abstract. Many risks are associated with the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdown measures in the areas of employment, the economy, and everyday life. Working parents have faced the challenge of combining their work and family obligations following the closure of schools and kindergartens. A considerable number have encountered a bigger risk of unemployment and the linked financial instability. The extensive literature analysing changes during Covid-19 suggests that women have tended to suffer more, been faced with both less stability since their employment statuses appear to be more precarious, and been disproportionally affected by the heavier burden of balancing family care and work obligations. Our own analysis of the most reliable survey data available shows corresponding changes in Slovenia, confirming that the crisis reveals certain less visible, already existing inequalities along with particular new gender inequalities, and in this respect also presents specific research design conditions for assessing otherwise hidden disparities. The results indicate the consequences for the subjective well-being of women compared to men of the more precarious employment and the stronger demand for family care.

Not much research has looked at how diversity and gender affect military professionalism and diverse groups perceive this concept. Using a qualitative approach, the study examined perspectives on military professionalism and unprofessionalism among diverse members of the Albanian Armed Forces (AAF). To ensure a diversity of participants, the study was based on the constructivist paradigm (multiple realities) as well as the Gender Perspective in the Albanian Armed Forces report (2013), which helps identify the varying impacts of such research on diverse groups of men and women. A total of 150 individuals participated in interviews and focus groups between October 2022 and August 2023. The findings show that professionalism and unprofessionalism each have distinct characteristics, where leadership is a key factor. This study sheds light on the members' experiences and how the latter affect the way in which professionals are perceived.

Abstract. The present article explores the use of grammatical forms in job advertisements published over the
past 60 years (1958, 1978, 1998 and 2018). A historical
examination of the use of gender forms in employment
is based on analysis of job advertisements published
in the Slovenian language, and the particular socioeconomic context. The results show that the frequency
of use of the masculine, feminine and neutral forms
has not drastically altered over the decades. In general,
feminine and neutral forms were used less frequently,
and the masculine grammatical form consistently dominates. In 2018, the latter was seemingly 'neutralised' by
adding the abbreviation M/F
