1011. „Rettung“ und „Gefahr“ : Zum „zweideutigen Wesen“ der TechnikPetar Šegedin, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: “Salvation” and “Danger.” On the “Dual Essence” of Technology
The paper discusses Heidegger’s thesis on the dual essence of technology from the text “The Question Concerning Technology.” The meaning of the thesis is manifested along the lines of a verse authored by Hölderlin as the co-belonging of danger (Gefahr) and salvation (Rettung) within the non-technical essence of technology. The non-technical essence of technology is first considered on the basis of the fundamental bond of revealing (Entbergen) and concealment (Verbergen) of the truth as an event (Ereignen) of both. The concept of Ge-stell as the essence of modern technology is, therefore, understood in the sense of the fully developed danger that is rooted in the very essence of truth, namely, as a concealment, which is itself concealed and which, precisely for that reason, constitutes the only support for the event of truth in the unfolding of immanent difference of revealing and concealment. Ultimately, it turns out that this salvific support belongs to the human being, who, by confronting the Ge-stell within itself, opens the possibility of liberating the event of truth as the nontechnical essence of Ge-stell.

1012. Unlocking Borders : Albanian Literature in TranslationMimoza Hasani Pllana, 2025, professional article Abstract: The article analyzes the development and challenges of Albanian literary translation within the Balkan and European contexts, emphasizing the interplay between translation practices, cultural identity, and social influences. Historically, Albanian literature faced significant barriers to international dissemination due to political isolation under the communist regime in Albania and the restrictive environment in Kosovo during the Yugoslav rule. These conditions hindered the growth of translation efforts, resulting in limited exposure of Albanian literary works to foreign audiences. The post-1990 period, following the fall of communism in Albania and the end of the Kosovo War in 1999, marked a revival of literary translation spurred on by the opening of borders, increased cultural exchange, and renewed interest in Albanian literature. Despite these advances, the field continues to face challenges, such as the shortage of translators and the linguistic complexity inherent in translating Albanian. The study employs a comparative analysis of translation practices, integrating qualitative interviews with translators of Albanian literature and examining case studies, in order to investigate how translation navigates the intersections of language, identity, and power in disseminating Albanian literature.
Keywords: Albanian literature, literary translation, language and identity, translation challenges

1016. Attention and Hospitality : An Attempt at a Socio-Phenomenological Definition of the Relationships Between Asylum Seekers and "Helpers"Audran Aulanier, 2025, professional article Abstract: The essay is a philosophical reflection carried out by way of a sociological investigation. The goal is to understand what role attention plays in the everyday life of asylum seekers, from its pathological aspects that affect their identity to the attention that they give to others or that they receive from others, which revives their responsivity. Perpetually stimulated by the state accommodation centers for asylum seekers (reception systems) and their life as asylum seekers, the capacity to direct their attention becomes jeopardized. But when intersubjective relationships open up a common sphere, attention is revived and can be directed again: new responses are possible. On the basis of phenomenological descriptions coming from fieldwork, I characterize this inter-attention (between asylum seekers and “helpers”) as a particular mode of hospitality. From this, I conclude by sketching an ethics of attention.
Keywords: attention, hospitality, Bernhard Waldenfels, asylum seekers, applied phenomenology

1017. Early Heidegger and BiologyDragan Jakovljević, 2025, professional article Abstract: In the paper, the author problematizes the attempt to aprioritize empirical sciences as well as the reduction of theoretical capacities of biology in the famous work by young Martin Heidegger Sein und Zeit. For this purpose, the relations between his Daseinsanalytik and the research findings of biology are examined. The author ties in with the criticism of Heidegger’s theses by Julius Kraft and Hans Albert. The aprioritization of everyday thinking as well as the claim of the a priori primacy of the lifeworld over the research findings of empirical sciences are rejected. Likewise, Heidegger’s thesis is rejected that biology does not give us an answer to the question, what is man, and that a crisis of fundamentals is allegedly at work in it. As Heidegger’s critique of biology may be misguided in terms of scientific theory, he may be suspected of a veiled anthropocentrism.

1018. Testimony as a Co-Existential Extension of Deliberative PracticesManca Erzetič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The article focuses on the relevance of testimony for deliberative practices, which can be observed to have been insufficiently emphasized in previous discussions on deliberative communication. This seems important not only when it comes to considering deliberative practices in relation to historical time and its aftermath, but also directly in terms of their contemporary application. Indeed, testimonies can assume a key communicative role in different life situations by appearing in various contexts, and in this way allow for the existential and coexistential extension of deliberative practices. First, I address the issue of conceptualizing the phenomenon of testimony and the relationship between the contexts of witnessing and the conditions of truth-telling, drawing in particular on the considerations by Hans-Georg Gadamer, Klaus Held, Bernhard Waldenfels, and Giorgio Agamben’s discussion of testimony and truth in Quando la casa brucia (2020). I conclude the paper by describing a concrete case of the extension of deliberative practice in relation to the testimony of Marijan Rogić, a former convict in the concentration camp on the island of Goli otok [Barren Island].
Keywords: testimony, deliberative practices, communication, Agamben, Rogić

1019. Mechanical properties of 3D printed concrete : a RILEM 304‑ADC interlaboratory study – compressive strength and modulus of elasticityViktor Mechtcherine, Shravan Muthukrishnan, Annika Robens-Radermacher, Rob Wolfs, Jelle Versteege, Costantino Menna, Onur Ozturk, Nilufer Ozyurt, Mateja Štefančič, Lucija Hanžič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Traditional construction techniques, such as in-situ casting and pre-cast concrete methods, have well-established testing protocols for assessing compressive strength and modulus of elasticity, including specific procedures for sample preparation and curing. In contrast, 3D concrete printing currently lacks standardized testing protocols, potentially contributing to the inconsistent results reported in previous studies. To address this issue, RILEM TC 304-ADC initiated a comprehensive interlaboratory study on the mechanical properties of 3D printed concrete. This study involves 30 laboratories worldwide, contributing 34 sets of data, with some laboratories testing more than one mix design. The compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were determined under three distinct conditions: Default, where each laboratory printed according to their standard procedure followed by water bath curing; Deviation 1, which involved creating a cold joint by increasing the time interval between printing layers; and Deviation 2, where the standard printing process was used, but the specimens were cured under conditions different from water bath. Some tests were conducted at two different scales based on specimen size—“mortar-scale” and “concrete-scale”—to investigate the size effect on compressive strength. Since the mix design remained identical for both scales, the only variable was the specimen size. This paper reports on the findings from the interlaboratory study, followed by a detailed investigation into the influencing parameters such as extraction location, cold joints, number of interlayers, and curing conditions on the mechanical properties of the printed concrete. As this study includes results from laboratories worldwide, its contribution to the development of relevant standardized testing protocols is critical.
