1. Plant pests and disease detection using optical sensorsUroš Žibrat, Matej Knapič, Gregor Urek, 2019, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Traditional agricultural plant pest and disease management practices are based on visible characteristics and require that plants are checked individually, making these practices time consuming and therefore costly. Plant pests and diseases also often exhibit a heterogeneous distribution, making detection more difficult. Remote sensing methods enable comparatively accurate detection of pests and diseases over larger areas. Furthermore, because remote sensing sensors utilize light outside the human visible spectrum, presymptomatic detection becomes possible, thus facilitating timely, appropriate and spatially accurate management practices. Because remote sensing systems generate large amount of data, novel data analysis methods, such as machine learning, were introduced to plant protection. While pest and disease detection is possible using individual sensors, best results can be obtained by combining different sensors, utilizing different spectral ranges or physiological responses to light. A large amount of data and information has been generated in the past, but this research has mostly been focused on individual pathogens. Future research will have to focus on combined infections or infestations, and include abiotic stressors as well.

2. Vegetation map of the nature reserve Mykhailivska Tsilyna (Ukraine)Mykola Larionov, 2025, ni določena Povzetek: The nature reserve Mykhailivska Tsilyna is located in Sumy region, in the northern part of Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. The area of virgin northern meadow-steppe is protected there. A new, large-scale vegetation map (scale 1:10000) of the reserve (the first one in its new borders) had been created. The main units of mapping are complexes of plant communities in ranks of associations, subassociations and variants. In total, 27 such complexes and 10 units of another rank have been identified. The map shows vegetation cover changesover a period of strict protection (2011–2023). The most common classes of vegetation in the reserve are: Molinio-Arrhenatheretea, Artemisietea vulgarisandFestuco-Brometea. Main changes in the vegetation cover of the reserve’s old territory are manifested in the form of steppe transformation: from meadow-steppe areas to more mesic shrub-steppe with dominating Cytisus ruthenicus and forb communities with dominating Euphorbia semivillosa. In these communities can be seen a decrease in the share of tussock grasses and an increase in the share of rhizomatous grasses. The same process is occurring in the reserve’s new territory, but phytocenoses are different there.

3. New national species records of charophytes (Characeae) for Montenegro, Croatia and Cyprus: update of rare species distribution in Southeast EuropeRoman Romanov, Vera Biberdžić, Snežana Dragičević, František Bednár, 2025, ni določena Povzetek: Field studies in 2022–2024 and the checking of collection of the Natural History Museum of Montenegro revealed seven new national species records for Montenegro: Chara corfuensis Groves ex Fil., C. galioides DC., C. squamosa Desf., Sphaerochara intricata (Trentep. ex Roth) Feist-Castel & N. Grambast, Tolypella hispanica Nordst. ex Allen, T. nidifica (O. F. Müll.) A. Braun and “Mediterranean Chara”. The checking of the specimens stored in ZE Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum, Freie Universität Berlin, Komarov Botanical Institute of RAS , and Naturhistorisches Museum Wien revealed old specimens of C. galioides, a new species for Croatia, and new sites of T. hispanica for Greece. The field research in Cyprus resulted in a new national species record of C. squamosa. New data enriched knowledge about the distribution of charophytes in Central and Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Europe and allowed tentative suggestions of important charophyte areas in Montenegro. The tentative evaluation of species protection statuses was implemented here. The updated species list of Montenegrin charophytes counted 37 species making Montenegro one of the charophyte species-rich countries in Europe.

4. Pediatric interventional neuroradiology : opportunities and challengesCene Jerele, Dimitrij Lovrič, Dimitrij Kuhelj, 2023, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Pediatric interventional neuroradiology (PINR) is a relatively new field of diagnostic and therapeutic care in the pediatric population that has seen considerable advances in recent decades. However, it is still lagging behind adult interventional neuroradiology due to a variety of reasons, including the lack of evidence validating pediatric-specific procedures, the relative absence of pediatric-specific equipment, and the challenges in establishing and maintaining PINR competencies in a relatively small number of cases. Despite these challenges, the number and variety of PINR procedures are expanding for a variety of indications, including unique pediatric conditions, and are associated with reduced morbidity and psychological stigma. Continued technological advances, such as improved catheter and microwire designs and novel embolic agents, are also contributing to the growth of the field. This review aims to increase awareness of PINR and provide an overview of the current evidence base for minimally invasive neurological interventions in children. Important considerations, such as sedation, contrast agent use, and radiation protection, will also be discussed, taking into account the distinct characteristics of the pediatric population. The review highlights the usefulness and benefits of PINR and emphasizes the need for ongoing research and development to further advance this field.

5. Identification of a PCE contamination source in an intergranular aquifer using a simulation–optimisation framework: a case study of Ljubljana polje, SloveniaMitja Janža, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Identification of contamination sources is critical for effective remediation planning in contaminated aquifers. This study presents a simulation–optimisation framework that was developed to reconstruct the release history and identify the potential source location after tetrachloroethene (PCE) concentrations that exceeded regulatory limits were detected in production and monitoring wells at the Hrastje well field. The approach integrates a physically based groundwater flow and solute transport model with an evolutionary algorithm to estimate unknown source parameters. The method was tested under realistic field conditions, accounting for the complexity and uncertainty of the subsurface environment. In the optimisation procedure, parameter values converged towards optimal estimates, and the simulated PCE concentrations in monitored wells showed good agreement with the observed values. The delineated source location and the reconstructed temporal and spatial dynamics of PCE contamination in the aquifer provide essential guidance for decision makers in designing and prioritising remediation strategies. By narrowing the potential source area, more targeted and cost-effective field investigations can be planned. The developed model offers a practical tool for evaluating alternative remediation scenarios, supporting adaptive water resource management and safeguarding the drinking water supply.

6. Electrochemical assessment of crosslinked self-assembled monolayers of behenic acid for enhanced corrosion protection of bronze and patinated surfacesHelena Biljanić, Barbara Markulić, Tadeja Kosec, Marija Mirosavljević, Vladan Desnica, Domagoj Šatović, Damir Kralj, Katarina Marušić, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Bronze sculptures and historical artifacts typically develop natural or artificially induced patinas that enhance aesthetic value and confer some degree of corrosion protection. However, patinated surfaces are vulnerable to environmental degradation, especially due to acid rain, resulting in material loss and impaired visual integrity. Current protective coatings are limited by either environmental or performance constraints. While self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) based on fatty acids such as behenic acid offer potential corrosion protection by forming ultrathin layers on metal surfaces, their long-term effectiveness is compromised by limited chemical stability. This study addresses this critical gap by evaluating the protective effectiveness and durability of SAMs and polymer nanocoatings (PNCs) derived by crosslinking SAMs from behenic acid using gamma irradiation on bare bronze (BB), black sulfide-patinated bronze (BP), and green chloride-patinated bronze (GP) surfaces. The assessment focused primarily on electrochemical performance, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel) measurements to evaluate coating stability and corrosion resistance before and after artificial aging. Initial surface characterization employed spectroscopic (FTIR-ATR, Raman spectroscopy), microscopic (SEMEDS, metallography), elemental (X-ray fluorescence), wettability (contact angle goniometry), and visual analyses (colorimetry) to characterize the composition and morphology of the substrates. Distinct structural and chemical differences were identified, with BP characterized primarily by anilite (Cu₇S₄) and GP consisting predominantly of basic copper chlorides (Cu₂(OH)₃Cl), such as atacamite and its isomorphs. Electrochemical analyses demonstrated that while SAM coatings initially reduced corrosion current densities significantly, their protective capability diminished over time due to progressive removal of loosely bound molecules. Conversely, radiation-crosslinked PNC coatings maintained stable corrosion protection over UV-WetDry artificial aging. Minor capacitance increases indicated slight enhancement in surface activity, yet no significant degradation of the crosslinked polymer coating was observed.

7. Risking public health by approving some health claims? : The case of phosphorusIgor Pravst, 2011, drugi znanstveni članki Povzetek: There is a well-established consensus on the many biological functions of essential nutrients, and related general function health claims will be soon authorised in the European Union. Such claims about the role of nutrients in the body`s growth, development and functioning could provide a powerful marketing tool and signi?cant increase in the consumption of specific food products. Even though these claims are scientifically substantiated, there are both health and ethical concerns about whether such claims should be allowed where the intake of these nutrients easily exceeds the recommendations and a bigger intake might have adverse affects. The case of phosphorus and its role in the maintenance of normal bone is discussed.
