Abstract: This article examines the speculative potential of designing a spiritually attuned artificial intelligence platform capable of supporting processes of meaning-making, fostering conditions conducive to emotional resonance, and assisting in the dis-covery of intrinsic values across diverse spiritual orientations. Situated within the socio-cultural context of late modernity—marked by the rationalization of life-worlds, increased individualization, and the erosion of traditional frameworks of meaning—we interpret the renewed emphasis on spirituality, emotional and em-bodied experience, as well as interiority, as indicative of a broader re-engagement with right-hemisphere cognitive modes, as theorized by iain McGilchrist. Rather than conceptualizing ai as a surrogate for spiritual experience or communal be-longing, we explore whether this fundamentally left-hemisphere technological ar-tifact could paradoxically be reconfigured to facilitate holistic perception, existen-tial reflection, and prosocial engagement. acknowledging the ethical complexities and epistemological constraints of such a vision, we propose a theoretical model for a digital interface that does not prescribe, but invites; that does not instruct, but listens. We conclude by posing a critical question: Can artificial intelligence, when sensitively designed, contribute to the re-enchantment of human experi-ence—not by transmitting meaning, but by enabling deeper forms of dialogical presence?

Abstract: Empathy, the ability to understand and share the experience of another, is tra-ditionally understood as a cornerstone of interpersonal relationships and social cohesion. However, in the age of digital communication and the increasing virtu-alization of interactions, important questions arise about the nature, expression, and impact of empathy. The development of digital technology and the ubiquity of the internet are changing the way we interact and communicate with each other, with the physical aspect increasingly disappearing. although digital tools allow us to make contact quickly and efficiently, concerns are being raised about the impact of these forms of communication on the quality of interpersonal relationships. Digital communication is often text-based, asynchronous, and often anonymous, which reduces the presence of physical and social signs that are essential for a clas-sic empathic experience. against this backdrop, the discussion of empathy in the context of digital depersonalization requires a holistic approach that encompasses philosophical, psychological, and other perspectives. in this paper, we will address the challenges of empathy based on physicality and direct interpersonal contact, which are often diminished or absent in digital communication. This absence re-duces the possibility of a full empathic experience and promotes the phenomenon of depersonalization.

Abstract: Glacial environments are extremely sensitive to climate change and associated phenomena such as deglaciation and changes in snowfall patterns affecting the glacial mass balance globally. However, as an essential part of the Earth’s water storage, glaciers are of significant importance for the geo-biologic stability. As documented in many locations, landslides on glaciers can trigger altered glacier responses, i.e., glacial advance or glacial surges, which is approached via a literature collection in three categories: cases, inventories, and detection. This publication presents the complexity of landslides on glaciers, statistics based on the literature collection, and a possible index stacking approach towards pattern and shape recognition.

Abstract: Carbon cycling was investigated monthly (July, August, September, October, November, March and May) from July 2023 to May 2024 in the Radovna stream originating from the permanent Lipnik spring in the Julian Alps, Slovenia using isotopic composition of carbon in dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) and particulate organic carbon (δ13CPOC). The investigated catchment is composed of massive coarse - crystal dolomite and limestone. Total alkalinity ranged from 2.2 to 2.7mM and is characteristic for carbonate pristine environments. In-situ parameters e.g. dissolved oxygen ranged from 11.0 to 12.0mg/L, pH from 7.9 to 8.1 and specific electrical conductivity from 275 to 318μS/cm, respectively. The values of dissolved oxygen reflect that the water system is well oxygenated. CO2 presented a source of carbon to the atmosphere during all investigated months. Oversaturation with CO2 is 1.01 to 4.1 times of atmospheric value. δ13CDICranged from -11.8 to -9.7‰. This indicates that dissolved inorganic carbon under different discharge conditions mainly originates from the dissolution of carbonates (from 50.3 % to 57.3%), followed by the degradation of organic matter (from 42.8% to 49.7%). Equilibration with atmospheric CO₂ has a negligible impact, ranging from 0.01% to 0.11%. δ13CPOC in river water indicate sources such as plant debris, with δ13CPOC of -29.4‰, and highly degraded soil organic matter, with δ13CPOC of -24.9‰. The δ13CDIC and δ13CPOC values are typical for a forest stream flowing over a limestone substrate. Strong statistical negative significant correlation was obtained between electrical conductivity and water temperature, mass of total suspended solids (mTSS) and pH.

Abstract: In central Slovenia, on the border between Southern Alpine derived units and Dinaric units in the northern part of the Sava Folds, detailed field observations and reambulation-type mapping were conducted. The research aimed to clarify the distribution of Mesozoic formations and the palaeogeographical and tectonic position of the studied area. Based on field observations, lithofacies, microfacies, and biostratigraphic studies (including benthos and planktonic foraminifers, dinocysts, acritarchs, chitinoidellids, calpionellids, green algae, microproblematica, calcareous nannofossils and ascidians), the following successions characterize the northern limb of the Trojane Anticline and the Tuhinj–Motnik Syncline: upper Anisian to lowermost Ladinian platform carbonates (Mendole Formation) are overlain by Ladinian siliciclastic successions including volcanoclastic resediments (Pseudozilian Formation). These either interfinger or are overlain by the Ladinian to lower Carnian platform limestone (Schlern Formation); in the upper part of this formation, the deep–marine siliciclastics and/or carbonates are locally intercalated. Following a significant stratigraphic gap, the lower Tithonian to lower Valanginian pelagic limestone and carbonate resediments (Biancone Formation s.l.) were deposited. The Biancone limestone is covered by upper Aptian–upper Albian (Cenomanian?) marlstone with occasional calcarenite (calciturbidite) interlayers (Lower Flyschoid/Gora Formation). The succession ends with Upper Cretaceous pelagic and resedimented limestones (Volče/Krško Formation). The age and spatial distribution of these successions often differ from that depicted on the existing geological maps. This succession resembles the Transition Zone between the External and Internal Dinarides. Our study indicates the presence of similar transitional Mesozoic Dinaric successions north of the previously proposed Southern Alpine thrust front.
