1. Humanistic Buddhism in Thailand : practices, local patronage and challengesYue Bai, Yaoping Liu, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Humanistic Buddhism usually implements Buddhist ideas every day to ad-vance social harmony and personal satisfaction. With an emphasis on three main aspects—individual, universal, and transcendental—and six of its features, this paper investigates the beliefs and practices, local support, and obstacles that Hu-manistic Buddhism in Thailand encounters. Using a mixed-method approach, this study gathers quantitative data using questionnaires distributed to 400 re-spondents at two sites in Thailand: the Tzu Chi foundation in Bangkok and fo Guang Shan. in-depth interviews also involved thirty respondents—religious lead-ers, community members, Buddhist scholars engaged in Humanistic Buddhism, and so forth. The results revealed that the beliefs and practices of Humanistic Buddhism were consistent with the three dimensions of the tradition. Three pri-mary challenges in the practice of Humanistic Buddhism in Thailand involved: (1) the resolution of internal conflicts, (2) the promotion of compassion in social relations, and (3) the management of existential issues. This study recommends a multifaceted approach to policy development that promotes the sustainability of humanistic Buddhist practices in Thailand to amplify the roles of Buddhist or-ganizations in community welfare and promote collaboration among Buddhist, governmental, and civil society institutions.

2. Emotional cyborgs in a hyperconnected world : AI, embodiment, and ecofeminist, theological reflections on humanity and the divineNadja Furlan-Štante, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Through the critical lens of theological ecofeminism, this article offers a nu-anced analysis of the concept of the (emotional) cyborg, interrogating how the integration of technology into human (emotional) life reshapes individual iden-tity, affective experience, and social relationality. Central to this inquiry are the dynamics of human interaction with affective computing and artificial emotional intelligence, broadly defined as technological systems capable of mimicking, in-terpreting, simulating, and responding to human emotions. as developments in artificial intelligence and biotechnology continue to ad-vance, the boundary between human and machine becomes increasingly porous. Within this context, the figure of the emotional cyborg emerges as a compelling framework for examining the transformation of human emotion and connection in technologically mediated environments.This investigation is situated within broader socio-cultural concerns, particu-larly the contemporary quest for authenticity in a hyperconnected world, where digital interactions frequently eclipse embodied, face-to-face communication. Drawing on posthumanist and critical ecofeminist theory, this article explores the implications of the entanglement between human and artificial emotional intelli-gence. among the key concerns are the potential for emotional alienation, the ero-sion of empathy and emotional literacy, and the commodification of affective life.in addition, the analysis engages with the implications of these shifts for press-ing contemporary issues, including mental health, social isolation, and the recon-figuration of community and belonging. at its core, the presentation interrogates how emotional cyborgs intersect with gendered experiences within technologically saturated realities, and challenges and reimagines traditional theological concep-tions of embodiment and relationality.The emotional cyborg, conceived as the hybridization of human emotional capacities with artificial intelligence, functions simultaneously as a reflection of and intervention in prevailing social constructions of gender, affectivity, and in-tersubjective connection.

3. The implementation of a robotic surgical plat-form for the treatment of patients with malig-nant or pre-malignant pancreatic tumors at the University Medical Center LjubljanaMiha Petrič, Patricio Marcelo Polanco, Jan Grosek, Aleš Tomažič, Blaž Trotovšek, Boštjan Plešnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background: Robotic platforms are increasingly employed in the field of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery. It is essential to develop an innovative method that ensures both safety and efficacy, producing outcomes comparable to those of established treatment modalities. Implementation process should incorporate surgical science, education, local implementation, and non-technical skills. In our study, we describe the safe implementation of a robotic platform in pancreatic surgery within our medical institution. Patients and methods: We analysed prospectively collected data from the first ten consecutive robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomies (RDP) and pancreatoduodenectomies (RPD). Due to nature of the study no statistical analysis were performed. Results: The mean operating time was 211minutes (±49.4) for RDP and 365 minutes (±69.6) for RPD, with blood loss 330 mL for RDP and 195 mL for RPD. Hospital stay was 8.7 days (±3.9) in RDP and 7.9 days (±3.9) in RPD. One patient (10%) in the RDP group developed CR-POPF and DGE. The mean tumour size was 31 mm (±9.8) in the RDP and 27 mm (±7.5) in the RPD. The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 6 (0–24) in the RDP and 15 (6–22) in the RPD. The R0 resection rate was 60% in the RDP and 70% in the RPD. Conclusions: Robotic surgical technology can be safely and effectively integrated into a clinical setting. This integration should be facilitated through a well-established training program and curriculum. Nonetheless, patient selection is important, especially in the early phases of robotic program development.

4. ESR essentials: juvenile idiopathic arthritis : what every radiologist needs to know: practice recommendations by the European Society of Paediatric RadiologySílvia Costa Dias, Celine Habre, Pier Luigi Di Paolo, Paola d’Angelo, Thomas A. Augdal, Oskar W. Angenete, Damjana Ključevšek, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a major contributor to chronic diseases, affecting around 1–2 in 1000 children under the age of 16. With modern treatments, the morbidity has been reduced; however, there is increasing evidence that many, if not most, children with JIA will have a chronic disease with ongoing activity into adulthood. Many studies discuss the possibility of an early window of opportunity in which patients have the best chance of responding to therapy, thereby underscoring the importance of timely and appropriate imaging. Children typically present at 4–5 years of age with one or more stiff and painful joints. If JIA is suspected, the child should undergo an ultrasound of the involved joint(s), performed by a radiologist with experience in paediatric imaging. If this is normal, with no abnormal laboratory tests and low clinical suspicion of JIA, no further imaging is required. If there is inconsistency between ultrasound and clinical findings, then they should proceed to MRI, including intravenous contrast, of the involved joint. Additional radiographs, or low-dose CT for the axial joints to examine for potential destructive change, deformation, or growth abnormalities, should be considered. In children presenting with monoarthritis, bacterial infection must be ruled out.

5. Duhovna oskrba v vojski v času pospešene digitalizacije, tehnološkega napredka in družbenih prelomovGašper Pirc, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: V pričujočem prispevku raziskujem koncept duhovne oskrbe v sodobni druž-bi. Na podlagi številnih teoretskih in empiričnih raziskav ter sociološkega in reli-giološkega pristopa prikažem, da se duhovna oskrba zlasti v zahodni kulturno-po-litični kulturi vse bolj premika od tradicionalnih, pastoralnih modelov duhovne oskrbe, strogo povezanih z načinom dela lokalno prevladujočih religioznih insti-tucij, k pluralnim, medreligioznim in humanistično-sekularnim oblikam duhovne podpore.V članku obravnavam vpliv razvoja avtonomnih orožij in informacijskega preporoda, ki vsaj posredno vplivata na razvoj novih oblik dehumanizacije in primerov masovnega uničenja, na pripadnike vojske ter analiziram, kako se (tako religiozne kot humanistične) oblike duhovne oskrbe odzivajo na te spremembe. poseben poudarek podajam pojmu moralne poškodbe, ki je v nedavni religiolo-ški in psihološki literaturi požel precej zanimanja, tehnološki procesi sodobnosti in družbeno-politične spremembe pa morda še povečujejo pojavnost tovrstnih travm. V članku nakazujem, da je duhovna oskrba eno redkih polj, kjer se v času pospešenega razvoja umetne inteligence in avtonomnih orožij še ohranja prostor za neposreden človeški stik in etično refleksijo. To še posebej omogoča razumevanje duhovne oskrbe kot celostne humanistične skrbi za duhovnost člo-veškega bitja, ki ne pozna strogega ločevanja na podlagi geografskih, religioznih in vrednostno-normativnih meja.

6. Hazard identification and characterization of leachable chemicals from plastic products – a new PARC projectHubert Dirven, Nina Franko, Marija Sollner Dolenc, Tim Ravnjak, Martina Štampar, Bojana Žegura, 2025, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: A recent study has suggested that plastics may contain more than 16,000 chemicals, including additives, processing aids, starting substances, intermediates and Non-Intentionally Added Substances. Plastic chemicals are released throughout the plastic life cycle, from production, use, disposal and recycling. Most of these chemicals have not been studied for potential hazardous properties for humans and in the environment. To refine the risk assessment of these leachable chemicals, additional hazard data are needed. The PlasticLeach project within the EU co-funded Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) aims to address this data gap by screening several plastic products in daily use. Leachates will be prepared from a number of these plastic items, and these chemical mixtures will be further tested using several test guideline compliant assays and New Approach Methodologies covering both human health and environmental endpoints. The most toxic leachates will be characterized using a non-targeted analysis pipeline to identify chemicals in the leachate. When single chemicals of concern are identified, these will be further tested to determine hazardous properties and identify the respective potency factors to better understand their specific hazard profiles. A tiered approach for hazard testing will be followed. The experimental work will be complemented by in silico toxicological profiling, using publicly available toxicity databases and tools, including Artificial Intelligence tools that cover both human and environmental endpoints. A comprehensive array of endpoints, including cytotoxicity, endocrine disruption, genotoxicity, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity and effects related to ecotoxicity will be evaluated. In this paper, we outline the plastic products to be tested and the battery of assays that will be used to identify hazards relevant to both human health and the environment. Data generated from in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches will be reported using standardized formats, stored within a centralized repository, and harmonized to adhere to the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). This integrated strategy will not only advance our understanding of the risks associated with plastic-derived chemicals but will also provide critical support for regulatory decision-making and facilitate the development of safer, and more ecofriendly plastic materials in the future.

7. Vibration-induced freezing in Aegorhinus nodipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) : implications for pest management in hazelnutsNataša Stritih Peljhan, Alenka Žunič Kosi, Andres Eduardo Quiroz Cortez, Patricia D. Navarro, María José Lisperguer F., Tommaso De Gregorio, Matteo Maspero, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The weevil Aegorhinus nodipennis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Hope, 1834) is a polyphagous woodboring beetle of economic concern in Chile and southern Argentina, mainly affecting berries and hazelnut. Although insecticides may be applied in hazelnut orchards, their effectiveness is limited and can be environmentally impactful, underscoring the need for alternative, sustainable control strategies. Attempts to exploit semiochemicals for attraction or repellence have yielded only modest results, failing to support effective trapping or deterrence. This study investigates substrate-borne vibrations as a complementary behavioral management tool by examining their potential to induce defensive responses in A. nodipennis. We demonstrate that walking individuals exhibit a stereotyped freezing response to vibrational stimuli, with peak sensitivity at 50 to 150 Hz (median threshold at 0.71 m/s2) and a secondary sensitivity increase at 1–2 kHz. The duration of the immobile phase increases strongly with stimulus duration, with a median around 200 s following a 5 s stimulus, but is much less affected by amplitude once the threshold is exceeded. In addition, weevils exhibit a marked postfreeze locomotor suppression, with walking speed reduced to 25% to 30% of prestimulus levels. These findings suggest that extended low-amplitude vibrational stimuli could effectively suppress activity and feeding. This offers a novel, nonchemical, and potentially economically viable approach in managing this pest. Deterrent vibrations could be deployed directly on host plants or on structural barriers in orchards. This study provides a foundation for integrating vibrational cues into pest management frameworks for A. nodipennis and related weevils, though results are currently limited to females.

9. Slippery slopes : montane isolation and elevational shifts shape the evolution and diversity of Iberolacerta lizardsChristophe Dufresnes, Sven Gippner, Sylvia Hofmann, Spartak Litvinchuk, Anamarija Žagar, Daniel Jablonski, Gilles Pottier, Rodrigo Megía-Palma, Gregorio Sánchez-Montes, Octavio Jiménez Robles, Enrique Ayllón, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Understanding the processes driving the diversity of mountain herpetofauna requires a comprehensive examination of species diversification across evolutionary scales. Here, we investigate the phylogeography of Iberolacerta, a genus of eight lizard species mainly restricted to high elevations in southwestern Europe. Using genomic data, we reconstructed a nuclear phylogeny that aligns with mitochondrial evidence in supporting the divergence of all currently recognized species. Notably, we detect historical nuclear gene flow between I. cyreni and I. martinezricai in Central Spain, suggesting past range overlap, reminiscent of previously observed mitochondrial introgression between I. galani and I. monticola, and the lack of divergence between disjoint populations of I. monticola. Bioclimatic projections accordingly depict broader historical ranges during the last glacial maximum compared to interglacial and current conditions. At the intraspecific level, genomic analyses of four high-elevation species reveal that genetic structure is mainly shaped by isolation-by-distance and, in I. cyreni, by separation among mountain ranges, while heterozygosity generally decreases with elevation. These findings are consistent with the impact of glacial-interglacial cycles on the genetic diversity of montane taxa: populations experience genetic isolation and altitudinal bottlenecks during interglacial periods, but are reconnected and admix in lowland areas during glacial periods. These processes are expected to leave contrasting signatures between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, as well as between slow- and fast-evolving molecular markers. From a conservation perspective, our results highlight that the genetically richest – and potentially most adaptive – populations occur at the lowland edges of the species’ ranges, where they are also most vulnerable to climate change.

10. Oblikovanje in začetna validacija lestvice obnovitvene zmožnosti urbanih okolij : izsledki s FilipinovZaldy F. Corpuz, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Urbana okolja vplivajo na psihično počutje ljudi, večina lestvic za merjenje tega vpliva pa je bila do zdaj oblikovana samo za naravna okolja. V članku sta predstavljena oblikovanje in začetna validacija lestvice za merjenje obnovitvene zmožnosti urbanih okolij – oblikovalsko usmerjenega merskega orodja, namenjenega urbanim prostorom, ki jih ljudje vsak dan uporabljajo. Nabor 25 postavk, izbranih na podlagi teorij obnove pozornosti in zmanjšanja stresa, je bil preizkušen s 1.001 prebivalcem filipinskega mesta Urdaneta. S potrditveno faktorsko analizo je bila izbrana končna struktura lestvice z visoko stopnjo prileganja in zanesljivosti, ki je vključevala 17 postavk in štiri faktorje (kakovost, funkcionalnost, privlačnost in sprostitev), združenih v faktor drugega reda, imenovanega obnovitvena zmožnost urbanih okolij. Konvergentna veljavnost je bila dosežena, korelacije med faktorji so bile močne in hkrati skladne s konstruktom višjega reda. Faktor drugega reda se je izkazal za močnega napovednika splošnega zadovoljstva z urbanim prostorom, ki ga je posamezni udeleženec v raziskavi ocenjeval na podlagi fotografije. Večskupinski modeli so pokazali odvisnost faktorjev od tipa urbanega prostora: kakovost je bila najpomembnejši faktor na območjih, namenjenih rekreaciji, privlačnost na stanovanjskih območjih, območjih javnih ustanov, ulicah in trgovskih območjih, funkcionalnost na potniških terminalih, sprostitev pa je bila pomemben, a ne najbolj vpliven faktor na vseh urbanih prostorih. Izsledki raziskave so prečne narave, zato med njimi ni mogoče opredeliti zanesljivih vzročnih povezav. Lestvica je praktično diagnostično orodje za pripravo oblikovalskih hipotez, hkrati pa kaže, da se to, kar deluje obnovitveno ali blagodejno za počutje ljudi, razlikuje glede na tip urbanega prostora.
