1373. D4.1 - Citizen Science PlaybookShé Mackenzie Hawke, Francesco Pilla, Irina Moira Cavaion, Cécil J. W. Meulenberg, 2025, final research report Abstract: The aimof this documentisto presentthe Engagement Strategy (ES)fortheCoastalCity Living Lab (CCLL) and citizen
science activities thatwas developedwithin WP4 (Task 4.1). Theseactivitieswere guided by theimpetus of the Paris
Agreement and by our Standard Ethical Protocol(SEP), defining theprivacy, principles and practice forparticipatory
engagement from citizens and other actors. This report also provides Learning Modules developed by WP4 to give
CCLL participants the opportunity to gain knowledge on climate adaptation and the SCORE project approaches
through description of basic knowledge and the key terminology used (provided as a glossary). The report further
provides an overview ofwebsitelinks, videos,webinars and courses with brief descriptions of variousresources and
tools to educate and instruct further how to set-up citizen science activities for climate-focused CCLLs.
The document’s whole content is dictated to empower CCLL stakeholders through transfer of basic knowledge on
climate change concepts as highlighted by the SCORE project. Therefore the Engagement Strategy and the Learning
Modules detailthe useof CCLLs, citizen science, do-it-yourself (DIY)sensortechnology, and participatory co-creation
and co-design activities, as well asthe EBA approach. It guides howto engage and motivatestakeholders and citizen
scientist participants using tools and resourses in the CCLL context, by activities executed in a series of capacity
building workshops, co-creation workshops, and citizen science and DIY sensor familiarisation workshops.
Familiarisation to principal climate change knowledgeis needed to direct, engage andmotivateparticipants. Coastal
flooding and erosion, extreme weather events and associated changesin precipitation, are themoststriking aspects
of climate change related to coastal cities, alongwith ocean rise in volumeand temperature. SCOREaddressed those
issues alongwith their impacts, and included thosechallenges within its framework according to each CCLL primary
challenges. The engagement task provided this background information, with the learning modules and tools
documented in this report addressing these issues in a more comprehensive fashion.
Participatory engagement is a vital aspect of any Living Lab project. SCORE applied an inclusive participatory
engagement methodology, that involved the recruitment of a range of voluntary participants or citizen scientists,
primarily adults, who come from a variety of classes, gender, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, as well as
from industry and business, academia, general public and governance. Participants were recruited through public
surveys,social media platforms and standardmulti-media platformssuch as notice boards and newspapers, as well
as through community networks and publicmeetings, and participated in a series of ‘howto’ CCLL capacity building
and co-creation workshops, as well as citizen science and DIY sensor familiarisation workshops throughout the
project.
As this document will be publicly available after the completion of the project, its orderly representation of the
project illustrating consistentinteraction with project partners and with external CCLL stakeholders,will be a guide
on how to engage stakeholders in citizen science initiatives and can build a CCLL with a climate adaptation focus. Published in DiRROS: 07.08.2025; Views: 381; Downloads: 211

1375. A comprehensive guide to potato transcriptome assemblyMaja Zagorščak, Marko Petek, 2021, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: We have witnessed a rapid advancement in high-throughput genome sequencing and the maturation of long-read technologies. However, an accurate assembly of polyploid potato genomes still remains challenging. Sequencing the double-monoploid genome of Solanum tuberosum Group Phureja (Xu et al., Nature 475:189–195, 2011) has enabled functional studies of polyploid potato cultivars using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technologies, although with the limitation of not covering cultivar-specific gene expression. The accumulated RNA-Seq datasets from these cultivars can be leveraged to assemble tetraploid potato transcriptomes that enable the analysis of genes that are not limited to reference genome annotations. To increase transcriptomes’ quality, short-read assemblies are nowadays complemented with full-length transcriptome sequencing using Pacific Biosciences or Oxford Nanopore platforms. In this chapter we give a detailed guide on a pipeline for de novo transcriptome assembly of polyploid potato genotypes and their integration into a pan-transcriptome.

1376. Methodologies for discovery and quantitative profiling of sRNAs in potatoMaja Križnik, Maja Zagorščak, Kristina Gruden, 2021, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs involved in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes in plants. Advances in high-throughput sequencing and development of new computational tools had facilitated the discovery of different classes of sRNAs, their quantification, and elucidation of their functional role in gene expression regulation by target transcript predictions. The workflow presented here allows identification of different sRNA species: known and novel potato miRNAs, and their sequence variants (isomiRs), as well as identification of phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). Moreover, it includes steps for differential expression analysis to search for regulated sRNAs across different tested biological conditions. In addition, it describes two different methods for predicting sRNA targets, in silico prediction, and degradome sequencing data analysis. All steps of the workflow are written in a clear and user-friendly way; thus they can be followed also by the users with minimal bioinformatics knowledge. We also included several in-house scripts together with valuable notes to facilitate data (pre)processing steps and to reduce the analysis time.

1377. RNA sequencing analyses for deciphering potato molecular responsesŽiva Ramšak, Marko Petek, Špela Baebler, 2021, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Understanding the molecular mechanisms of potato development and responses to environmental stressors is of utmost importance for achieving stable crop yields. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) provides an insight into responses of all of the organism genes to the environmental and developmental cues and thus provides insights into underlying modes of action. In this chapter, we guide a researcher through some of the most important steps in the analysis of transcriptomics data. The initial topic of experimental design is followed by a more wet-lab-oriented section on RNA-Seq sample preparation. Next, we present intermediate steps of data retrieval, quality control, mapping, and differential expression of the dataset and a section on how to expose your data to the public (i.e., public repositories) and make it findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). In the last four sections, we describe specific tools or Web applications, which ease the exploration of generated results in the context of their gene function and network-based visualizations, specifically GoMapMan, GSEA, DiNAR, and Biomine Explorer. All sections are accompanied by potato dataset examples and include general hints and tricks, as well as potato specificities that one should be aware of.

1378. Serbian press and Eastern Ortodoxy in Serbia in the 1980sPetar Dragišić, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The paper examines Serbian press coverage of the resurgence of Eastern Ortho-doxy in Serbia during the 1980s. It is based on an analysis of the most influential daily, weekly, and monthly newspapers and magazines printed in Serbia between 1980 and 1990. The research aims to reconstruct perceptions of the revival of re-ligiosity in Serbia during this period and to identify its root causes. The research showed a close causal connection between the change in public perception of religion, that is, the revival of religiosity in Serbia, and the changed political en-vironment in former Yugoslavia in the 1980s. The research suggests that the esca-lation of tensions in Kosovo triggered the ethnic mobilization of Serbian society and consequently strengthened the influence of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Serbia in the late 1980s Keywords: Serbia, religiosity, 1980s, Yugoslavia, Eastern Ortodoxy Published in DiRROS: 06.08.2025; Views: 241; Downloads: 181

1379. The prohibition of women's veiling in the Region of GoraJadranka Đorđević Crnobrnja, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This paper examines the application of the Act on the Removal of the Veil (Zarand Feredža) in the Gora region in the mid-20th century. Gora is a mountainous area located between the peaks of Šarplanina, Koritnik, and Korab. In administra-tive terms, it includes the borough of Dragaš and 18 villages. The Act on the Removal of the Veil came into effect in the people’s Republic of Serbia in 1951 and can be seen as an extremely radical step by the communist government. Its application involved the prohibition of wearing garments that Muslim women used to cover their heads and bodies. With this Act, two ideals of communist governance were promoted – the emancipation of women and the achievement of gender equality. According to the memories of the people from Gora, the Act had a very traumatic effect on many women in the Gorani commu-nity. It primarily disrupted the continuity of a centuries-old tradition of wearing headscarves and terlik, which also expressed the marital status of women within the Gorani community. This paper starts from the assumption that the ban on covering represents a strategy for promoting secular political ideologies, while highlighting the limita-tion of religious freedoms. The Act on the Removal of the Veil is analysed within the framework of a state-imposed process of secularization in the local community. Keywords: act on the ban of wearing the vail, Muslims, Gora region, Gorani people, secularization Published in DiRROS: 06.08.2025; Views: 291; Downloads: 154

1380. The dynamics of atheization in postwar communist MontenegroTodor Lakić, Boris Vukićević, Saša Knežević, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This article presents the concept and dynamics of secularization policies and the atheization process in Montenegrin society following World War II. The pro-cess of secularization began with the Communist party’s rise to power and had its most significant manifestations until the mid-1950s. In this research, in addition to the specific secularization policies of the communist authorities, an analysis of the relationship of the state, that is, the communist authorities, towards the religious communities in Montenegro is given. Montenegro was the Yugoslav republic in which the process of atheization and secularization took place most intensively in relation to the federal level. The research presented in the article also includes an analysis of the results of the secularization of the three largest religious commu-nities in Montenegro.
