1. Kulturna politika i popularna glazba : žanrovski kolaži Pule u šezdesetimaLada Duraković, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: The sixties of the last century were a key period for the assertion of popular music practices in Pula: the first album of popular music was recorded, the first breakthrough of a „serious“ composer into the entertainment sphere took place and the first rock band guitar party was organised. By analysing newspaper articles and archival material, as well as through the method of oral history, the article highlights some of the key points of the cultural-political discourse on popular music practices: modern and newly composed folk music and rock & roll. Keywords: Pula, sixties, popular music, rock & roll, newly composed folk music Published in DiRROS: 01.07.2026; Views: 168; Downloads: 132

5. Schubert’s mise-en-abîme : reading Copjec’s literacy of desire as one already spoken forCindy Zeiher, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: In honor of the thirtieth anniversary of Joan Copjec’s important and influential text, Read My Desire: Lacan Against the Historicists, this essay explores how the psychoanalytic conceptualization of desire operates musically as much as linguistically. If the unconscious is structured like a language, then music is structured like a desire for a language to be already spoken for. Franz Schubert’s evocative lieder literally speak about music’s capacity to capture and tarry with desire as a force always to be reckoned with.

6. Yugoslav commercial diplomacy in developing countries between state's (economic) interests and (ideological) solidarityBoštjan Udovič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The article deals with the functioning of Yugoslav commercial diplomacy towards the developing countries that were members of the Non-Aligned Movement. With the help of literature, archival sources, and eyewitness accounts, three findings are presented. Firstly, ideology hardly played a role in Yugoslavia's economic relations with the less developed countries. Secondly, Yugoslav socialist realism towards the Non-Aligned countries was a combination of several parallel processes: altruism, egoism and political pragmatism, which meant that the Yugoslav authorities played several games on several levels to combine prestige politics and economic benefits. Keywords: commercial diplomacy, politics of prestige, non-aligned movement, developing countries, Yugoslav diplomacy, economic diplomacy, Ljubljana Congress, ceremonial, prestige, music, theatre Published in DiRROS: 30.01.2026; Views: 578; Downloads: 413

7. Transcending traditional roles: female instrumentalists in Ljubljana's public musical life between 1790 and 1848Maruša Zupančič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The article examines the rise of female instrumentalists, particularly dilettante pianists, within Ljubljana’s public music sphere between 1790 and 1848. It ex-plores their transition from private salons to semi-public and public performances, the repertoire they presented and the social challenges they faced during this era.

8. Albanian hidden heritage in Slovenia: some notes on music-making in between the centre and peripheryAlenka Bartulović, Alma Bejtullahu, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Focusing on Albanian communities’ overlooked musical heritage in post-Yugoslav Slovenia, this paper analyses how and why the domi-nant framing of Albanians has reinforced the assumption of the absence of the Albanian heritage. By comparing central and peripheral settings in examining the ambivalence towards this heritage in Kočevje and the recent process of heritagisation in Ljubljana, we challenge the notion that minority cultural recognition occurs uniformly across national space. Keywords: Albanians in Slovenia, Albanian music, hidden heritage, marginalisation, Slovenia, Yugoslavia Published in DiRROS: 21.01.2026; Views: 513; Downloads: 325

9. Experimental evaluation of enhanced antenna switching for CFO mitigation in DoA estimationAleš Simončič, Ke Guan, Grega Morano, Aleš Švigelj, Andrej Hrovat, Teodora Kocevska, Tomaž Javornik, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded devices is typically performed using single-RF chain systems and antenna switching using time-division multiplexing. The accuracy of the DoA estimation is reduced due to the additional phase shifts between the samples on the antenna elements caused by the carrier frequency offset (CFO). We propose to use optimized antenna switching patterns (ASPs) to mitigate the effect of CFO on accuracy in DoA estimation using a multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. We evaluated two switching methods referred to as EvenCFO-SP and Mirror-SP with simulations and confirmed the validity with measurements. Performance is analyzed and compared with a standard sequential sampling (SS) method. Uniform linear and circular array configurations are considered to evaluate the impact of the noise and the CFO value on estimation accuracy. The results show that the optimized ASPs outperform the SS method, with lower performance gain at small signal-to-noise ratios. The ASP sensitivity to the CFO value is studied, and the frequency bounds within which the optimized ASPs maintain high estimation accuracy are identified. A coarse CFO correction, effective for frequency estimation errors within the kHz range, extends the frequency bounds. Compared to a fine calibration, this reduces computational requirements, making it a viable option for embedded and IoT devices with limited hardware resources.

10. France Marolt’s research, artistic and educational work as reflected on sound recordingsDrago Kunej, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The article examines a less researched aspect of France Marolt’s work: his sound recordings on direct cut 78 rpm gramophone discs. Using the Gailtal Wedding (ziljska ohcet) recordings as a case study, it analyses the context of the recordings, presents the metadata collected and discusses the recording technique used. It places the recordings in the history of Slovenian folk music research and in Marolt’s broader work and shows the interweaving of his artistic, research and pedagogical activities.
