1. Hydrogeological analysis of topography-driven groundwater flow in a low temperature geothermal aquifer system in the Julian Alps, SloveniaLuka Serianz, Anže Markelj, Nina Rman, Mihael Brenčič, Judit Mádl-Szőnyi, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Groundwater flow and heat distribution was investigated in the regional karstic-fissured aquifer-aquitard system near Lake Bled in the Slovenian, eastern Julian Alps. The area features thermal springs with temperatures of 19–23 °C which are exploited by abstraction wells. The occurrence of low-temperature geothermal systems, which are common in the Alps, are associated with specific hydrogeological conditions, such as vertical hydraulic connectivity between different geological formations, relatively large elevation differences along flow paths, and the concentrated upwelling of geothermal water to the surface. The occurrence of the low-temperature geothermal field is explained by the presence of a hydraulically conductive fault along with a regional groundwater flow pattern that supports deep groundwater circulation. Hydraulic measurements and temperature data were collected from springs and wells in the area to support the analysis of flow patterns, together with the construction of a basin-scale 2D numerical flow and heat transport simulation. The diverse topographic and geological conditions result in a multi-scale groundwater flow system. The discharge of thermal waters in the Lake Bled area is a consequence of the upwelling of deep groundwater induced by a combination of the ~ 650 m difference in hydraulic head and hydrogeological heterogeneity and anisotropy, related to faulting of the geological formations. In addition, individual flow subsystems were found to significantly affect the natural heat distribution and travel times within the basin-scale system. The study highlights the combination of a basin scale approach taking into consideration local to regional-scale heterogeneities and faults in order to better understand the hydrogeological behaviour of Alpine groundwater systems.

6. Planning for renewable energy without conflict : the potential of using sensitivity mapping as a decision-support toolJerneja Penca, Danijel Crnčec, Marko Lovec, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Expanding the use of renewable energy is a policy imperative, but it must proceed without compromising other vital objectives – such as biodiversity conservation, water management, cultural heritage, and public health – while also actively involving the public. This study emphasises sensitivity mapping as a decision-support tool for integrating diverse political and societal concerns into renewable energy planning. Unlike prior studies, which focused solely on methodological applications, we highlight the utility of sensitivity mapping as a policy-making instrument. Using Slovenia as a case study, we present an example of comprehensive sensitivity mapping at a national scale involving several protection regimes. The findings demonstrate how sensitivity mapping can identify a greater-than-expected potential for conflict-free renewable energy development. However, the study also exposes that there are limits to expanding renewable energy without encroaching on protection regimes, and raises questions about the feasibility of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 at a country-wide level. As sensitivity mapping gains traction across the EU, we underline its potential to enable anticipatory, integrative, and inclusive planning. We also highlight its role in recognising the limits and trade-offs of energy planning, reinforcing the shift of renewable energy expansion from solely a political decision to one grounded in a broader societal consensus.

10. Let's see if you can hear : the effect of stimulus type and intensity to pupil diameter response in infants and adultsAmanda Saksida, Sašo Živanović, Saba Battelino, Eva Orzan, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Objectives: Pupil dilation can serve as a measure of auditory attention. It has been proposed as an objective measure for adjusting hearing aid configurations, and as a measure of hearing threshold in the pediatric population. Here we explore (1) whether the pupillary dilation response (PDR) to audible sounds can be reliably measured in normally hearing infants within their average attention span, and in normally hearing adults, (2) how accurate within-participant models are in classifying PDR based on the stimulus type at various intensity levels, (3) whether the amount of analyzed data affects the model reliability, and (4) whether we can observe systematic differences in the PDR between speech and nonspeech sounds, and between the discrimination and detection paradigms. Design: In experiment 1, we measured the PDR to target warble tones at 500 to 4000 Hz compared with a standard tone (250 Hz) using an oddball discrimination test. A group of normally hearing infants was tested in experiment 1a (n = 36, mean [ME] = 21 months), and a group of young adults in experiment 1b (n = 12, ME = 29 years). The test was divided into five intensity blocks (30 to 70 dB SPL). In experiment 2a (n = 11, ME = 24 years), the task from experiment 1 was transformed into a detection task by removing the standard warble tone, and in experiment 2b (n = 12, ME = 29 years), participants listened to linguistic (Ling-6) sounds instead of tones. Results: In all experiments, the increased PDR was significantly associated with target sound stimuli on a group level. Although we found no overall effect of intensity on the response amplitude, the results were most clearly visible at the highest tested intensity level (70 dB SPL). The nonlinear classification models, run for each participant separately, yielded above-chance classification accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value above 0.5) in 76% of infants and in 75% of adults. Accuracy further improved when only the first six trials at each intensity level were analyzed. However, accuracy was similar when pupil data were randomly attributed to the target or standard categories, indicating over-sensitivity of the proposed algorithms to the regularities in the PDR at the individual level. No differences in the classification accuracy were found between infants and adults at the group level, nor between the discrimination and detection paradigms (experiment 2a versus 1b), whereas the results in experiment 2b (speech stimuli) outperformed those in experiment 1b (tone stimuli). Conclusions: The study confirms that PDR is elicited in both infants and adults across different stimulus types and task paradigms and may thus serve as an indicator of auditory attention. However, for the estimation of the hearing (or comfortable listening) threshold at the individual level, the most efficient and time-effective protocol with the most appropriate type and number of stimuli and a reliable signal to noise ratio is yet to be defined. Future research should explore the application of pupillometry in diverse populations to validate its effectiveness as a supplementary or confirmatory measure within the standard audiological evaluation procedures.
