1. “Danke Deutschland!” : The Political and Diplomatic Contribution of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Creation of Independent SloveniaBoštjan Udovič, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article analyses Slovenian–German relations, with a particular focus on the period between December 1990 and June 1991. The author takes a look at the positions that the Federal Republic of Germany assumed with regard to the plebiscite in Slovenia and recognition of Slovenian independence, as well as the circumstances (national and international) that led Germany to these positions. The article finds that as late as the spring of 1991 the official German policy was preserving the integrity of Yugoslavia, while it was already aware this might be an unrealistic wish. This is why it foresaw Slovenian and Croatian independence as one of the possibilities. When war in Slovenia broke out, Germany saw that Yugoslavia was gone, so it took a completely different stance than only weeks before. This was also reflected in its active engagement for swift international recognition of Slovenia and Croatia.

2. A Contribution to the Role of (Former) Red Army Prisoners of War and White Emigrés in Slovenia during the German Occupation, 1943–1945Klemen Kocjančič, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article examines the role of Soviet prisoners of war and Russian émigrés that fought in Slovenia during World War II. The largest group consisted of Red Army soldiers who switched allegiances after being captured and agreed to fight for the Third Reich. They were joined by White émigrés who remained hostile to communism. But some émigrés and Soviets joined Slovenian partisans in the struggle against the occupiers, with most of them previously serving in Germanled formations. Based on archival documents and published sources, the author provides an overview of such units and studies their impact.

4. From the Habsburg to the Karađorđević Dynasty : The Position of Croatian and Slovenian Nobility in the Yugoslav StateIskra Iveljić, Miha Preinfalk, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article compares the position of nobility in Slovenia, Croatia and Slavonia before and after the Great War. The focus is on the transition to the Yugoslav state. The new regime treated the nobility as adversaries in political, social and national respect; noble titles were abolished and landed estates diminished by the land reform. Even though it cherished personal and family ties, the aforementioned nobility did not organise itself in associations, like their counterparts in Austria.

6. Blood parasite infections in the Carniolan Lizard, Zootoca carniolica (Mayer et al., 2000)Giulia Simbula, Urban Dajčman, Polona Dakskobler, Anamarija Žagar, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Blood parasites play a crucial role in shaping host ecology and fitness in reptiles, yet their occurrence in many lacertid species remains poorly documented. We here report the first evidence of blood parasites in Zootoca carniolica, a recently recognized oviparous species, from Slovenia. Fifty adult lizards (25 males, 25 females) were sampled from a population at an elevation of 1300 m in Pokljuka, Slovenia, during the summer of 2021. Blood smears were analysed to determine parasite prevalence and intensity, and the relationships of parasite data with host body size, sex, and seasonality. Overall, 52% of individuals were infected. A distinct sex-specific pattern in parasite infection was found: in males, body size was positively correlated with parasite prevalence, likely reflecting increased exposure to potential parasite vectors through enhanced social interactions and movement in bigger males. In females, larger individuals exhibited higher parasite intensity, possibly due to trade-offs between reproductive investment and immune function, or cumulative parasite exposure with age. Additionally, females showed a significant seasonal decline in parasite intensity from July to August, which is potentially linked to reproductive cycles, environmental factors, or physiological condition. On the other hand, it might also reflect a body size effect since larger females were found in July. These findings highlight the complex interactions between host traits, seasonality, and parasite dynamics in a high-elevation lizard population, contributing to our understanding of host-parasite interactions in European lacertids.

7. Development of the geoelectrical laboratory of the Geological Survey of Slovenia : complex electrical signatures of the Mežica Pb-Zn mine waste material and impacted stream sedimentsEdmundo Placencia-Gómez, Martin Gaberšek, Alexis Maineult, Matthias Bücker, Philippe Leroy, Mateja Gosar, Andrej Novak, Nejc Bizjak, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Environmental geophysical investigations require controlled laboratory experiments to better understand the relationships between the parameters measured in the field and complex physicochemical processes occurring in the subsurface. In this work, we introduce the Geoelectrical Laboratory (GEL) of the Geological Survey of Slovenia. A typical application of the spectral induced polarization (SIP) method, focussing on the detection of electron-conducting minerals disseminated in geologic material is presented. This is demonstrated by the close relationship between the polarization peak values (�′′�), and chargeability values associated with the second peak (�2) of polarization spectra estimated from a double Cole-Cole fit, and the metal content, either by the mass % concentration of the ore mineral or the chemical composition (Pb, Zn and Fe) estimated by XRF measurements. We illustrate this for synthetic mixtures of quartz sand and pure Pb-Zn ore particles from the Mežica mine (Slovenia), the Mežica Pb-Zn mine waste material (K-material) and sediments collected from streams near the waste deposits (S-material). These results evidence promising capabilities of the SIP method for in-situ detection of metallic particles, both within the mine waste deposits and sediments in the surrounding areas. However, further SIP investigations are needed in a larger number of material samples along with geochemical, mineralogical, and granulometric data to refine the links of polarization and chargeability to both the mass content of ore and the specific geochemical composition of the materials under investigation, as well as to determine the inf luence of the natural geological materials that constitute both the host rock of Pb-Zn ore and the surrounding sediments (e.g., carbonates).

8. Thematic Exploration of Slovenia’s Path to Independence in Slovenian Scopus-Indexed History Journals : A Bibliometric and Sociometric AnalysisDavid Hazemali, Mateja Matjašič Friš, Andrej Naterer, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: This article explores how Slovenian history journals have portrayed Slovenia’s path to independence. The analysis of 3,759 articles and other journal contributions from 12 Scopus-indexed journals, using select digital humanities tools and methods, reveals that themes concerning Slovenia’s path to independence, though less frequent overall, exhibit a dynamic pattern of regular occurrence, influenced by commemorations and special issues of journals. This suggests growing scholarly interest over time. The analysis identified four key thematic groups: Socio-cultural, Political, Religious, and Yugoslavia themes. Furthermore, metadata analysis indicates a balanced distribution of male and female first authors and equitable thematic accessibility across publication languages. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of how Slovenian Scopus-indexed history journals engage with this critical topic.

9. Trends and determinants of C virus infection among people living with HIV in Slovenia : a nationwide study, 1986–2024Maja M. Lunar, Katja Seme, Mario Poljak, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: ntroduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) share transmission routes and cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Three previous nationwide studies reported a low prevalence of HCV infection among Slovenian people living with HIV (PLWH). Methods: Data were collected de novo from 526 PLWH newly diagnosed with HIV in Slovenia between January 1st, 2014, and December 31st, 2024, and combined with data from previous studies on this topic. Results: Altogether 1,085 (93%) PLWH were tested for HCV at HIV diagnosis: 82 (7.6%) had anti-HCV antibodies (49 or 59.8% of them viremic), and three had HCV RNA only, resulting in an HCV prevalence of 7.8%. A significant increase in the prevalence of HCV infection has been observed over the last decade. HCV infection was significantly associated with female sex, foreign nationality, parenteral HIV transmission route, and non-B HIV subtype. The most frequent HCV genotypes were 1 (60%), 3 (22%), and 4 (16%), markedly different than previously found in the general population. Conclusions: The overall prevalence of HCV infection among PLWH in Slovenia remains low, but a significant increase has been observed in the last decade compared to the previous one. Such a situation requires further regular and tight monitoring to allow timely interventions if and when needed.

10. Gender Regimes in Slovenian Academic Field : Defining Sexual Harassment and Violence in Internal RegulationsRok Smrdelj, Mojca Suhovršnik, Milica Antić Gaber, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Sexual harassment and other forms of sexual violence are widespread social phenomena, and thus also present in academic field. To examine how the gender regimes of Slovenian academic institutions are reflected in their internal regulations regarding sexual harassment and other forms of sexual violence, we analyse them in this paper. We find that public higher education institutions, notably the University of Ljubljana and its Faculty of Arts, regulate this area more comprehensively than private higher education institutions and public research institutes. In general, our analysis reveals that while some Slovenian academic institutions maintain a male-dominated gender regime, others actively work to deconstruct it.
