The concepts of Corporate Compliance and Corporate Governance are increasingly mentioned in the context of discussion about the essential features of good corporate governance, ie in the debates on management and control rules for listed companies (corporate governance), which regulations contain internationally and nationally recognized standards of good and responsible corporate governance. The concept of corporate compliance denotes the duty of the company to bring the company's actions into line with certain principles and regulations.

The main topic of the research is the business judgment rule (BJR). The rule reads that there is no breach of duty if, in the case of an entrepreneurial decision, the Board member was reasonably expected to act on the basis of appropriate information for the benefit of the Company. Within the scope of the corporate judgment, there is no full judicial review of the appropriateness of the actions taken by the managers. There is no doubt that the board of the LLC almost always make entrepreneurial decisions under uncertainty and often under great time pressure.

Concept is based on the Sun tracking large cruising ship, equipped with aeroponic greenhouses slowly cruising on the sea. During cruising plants are growing and harvesting, even packing and delivering to the nearest markets. If plants demands fast growing then ship can cruise in Equatorial area, thus boost Sun energy into plants via photosynthesis process. The ship can also use solar and wind energy for powering thus cruising with zero emission.

New teaching methods and strategies are designed and their impact on learning and teaching is evaluated. The influence of different didactic methods and application of technologies in teaching is investigated with the aim of better adoption of new concepts that are introduced during the teaching process. Research is conducted at all levels of education: from preschool to graduate level of education, in the natural environment of students in their classes (groups) in the presence of subject teachers without the influence of external factors.

At the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split (PFST), undergraduate students of Maritime Nautics, Maritime Technology of Yachts and Marinas and Maritime Management acquire basic meteorological knowledge defined by the courses of Maritime Meteorology and Oceanology and Maritime Meteorology. The basic idea of this project is to install an automatic meteorological station (AMP) with basic sensors for measuring temperature, pressure and humidity, and wind direction and speed.

Influence of Transition to the Renewable Energy Sources on Maritime Transport, Sustainable Development and Labour Market Policy; Proceeding from the fact that sustainable development is the key principle of Environmental Law, this research aims to determine whether transition to renewable energy sources has contributed to its intensification,  but also to the decreasement  of pollution and increasement of expenses in maritime sector as well.

The Environmental Impacts of Maritime Shipping; The aim is to establish, by using scientific method, whether our hypotheses according to which cruise ships are greater polluter than cargo ships in the Adriatic Sea is founded. The other question that should be considered within this research is whether air pollution from ships is already declining as a result of implementation of several international and European regulations obliging to emission reduction.

Scientific research in the theoretical and practical application of the concept of measurement uncertainty in the field of electrical engineering. Part of the scientific research would focus on the application of this concept in electrical measurements in renewable electricity sources (wind farms and photovoltaic solar sources), and electrical measurements in electric motor drives.

The main topic of our research is morphology of animal and human tissues at ultrastructural level and immunohistochemical level. We use standard techniques for transmission electron microscopy as well as immunogold technique. Immunohistochemical research includes techniques for immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. For the last twenty years we have very successful collaboration with the research group from the Department of Anatomy, Embryology and Histology at School of Medicine, University of Split.

Central focus of the research of this group includes graph theory (with emphasis on extremal graph theory), complex networks (with emphasis on multiplexes, curriculum networks and network descriptors), mathematical chemistry (with emphasis on molecular descriptors, nanotechnology, peptide antibiotics), and discrete mathematics in general. Our goal is to obtain purely mathematical results and multidisciplinary applications.
