Proper holomorphic embeddings with small limit sets
Franc Forstnerič, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension $n\ge 1$. Given a continuous positive increasing function $h$ on ${\mathbb R}_+ = [0,\infty)$ with $\lim_{t\to\infty} h(t)=\infty$, we construct a proper holomorphic embedding $f=(z,w):X \hookrightarrow {\mathbb C}^{n+1}\times {\mathbb C}^n$ satisfying $|w(x)|Keywords: Stein manifold, proper holomorphic embedding

Toward a historiography of dreams : a discursive perspective
Laura J. Vollmer, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: The historiography of dreams has yet to emerge as a distinct field, and key changes in dream research are worthy of consideration to reflect on tacit knowled-ge in academia. Gesturing toward such a historiography, the historical construc-tion of the “dream” is examined from a discursive perspective via localization in the internal/external and subjective/objective, communicative and social imagined spaces of dreams, as well as the theoretical paradigms of essentialism and contextu-alism. Premodern to post-postmodern epistemes are considered as shaping forces in these discourses, involving power and authority in determining what counts as legitimate or significant knowledge. The discussion concludes with reflections on the current state of dream research from a post-postmodern perspective, suggesting the ontological multiplicity of the “dream.”

Dreaming in the digital age : thoughts on the tecnological pharmacon
Victor J. Krebs, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: This article explores one way of understanding how digital media are affecting our ability to distinguish reality from fantasy, by reading Bernard Stiegler’s diagno-sis of our current cultural crisis, alongside Wilfred Bion’s dream theory. The cen-tral claim of the paper is that we can understand the technological pharmakon, its both poisonous and therapeutic nature, in terms of Bion’s definition of dreaming, as the commerce between consciousness and the unconscious negotiated by the “alpha function”. Understanding how the digital impacts our capacity to dream provides us with a tool to counteract its toxicity and to combat the thanatic im-pulse triggered by technological power. from a binocular point of view – both from Stiegler’s perspective of our tech-nical or “organological” evolution and from Bion’s perspective on the constitution of reality in dreaming – we can begin to see more clearly how to modulate our technological drive, in order to prevent the pharmakon from short-circuiting the very psychic function necessary to distinguish between reality and illusion. The paper ends with a discussion of the algorithmic effects on the living imagination in support of this contention.

Connectivity with uncertainty regions given as line segments
Sergio Cabello, David Gajser, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: For a set ${\mathcal Q}$ of points in the plane and a real number $\delta \ge 0$, let $\mathbb{G}_\delta({\mathcal Q})$ be the graph defined on ${\mathcal Q}$ by connecting each pair of points at distance at most $\delta$. We consider the connectivity of $\mathbb{G}_\delta({\mathcal Q})$ in the best scenario when the location of a few of the points is uncertain, but we know for each uncertain point a line segment that contains it. More precisely, we consider the following optimization problem: given a set ${\mathcal P}$ of $n-k$ points in the plane and a set ${\mathcal S}$ of $k$ line segments in the plane, find the minimum $\delta \ge 0$ with the property that we can select one point $p_s\in s$ for each segment $s\in {\mathcal S}$ and the corresponding graph $\mathbb{G}_\delta( {\mathcal P}\cup \{ p_s\mid s\in {\mathcal S}\})$ is connected. It is known that the problem is NP-hard. We provide an algorithm to exactly compute an optimal solution in ${\mathcal O}(f(k) n \log n)$ time, for a computable function $f(\cdot)$. This implies that the problem is FPT when parameterized by $k$. The best previous algorithm uses ${\mathcal O}((k!)^k k^{k+1}\cdot n^{2k})$ time and computes the solution up to fixed precision.

The last sanctum of archetypes : rethinking dreams in the light of ancient knowledge and artificial intelligence
Maja Gutman Mušič, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: Despite numerous attempts to integrate dream research into a vast array of sci-entific disciplines, there appears to be no consensus on why and how we dream. This millennia-old universal human phenomenon appears to be too elusive to be thoroughly understood by a single scientific discipline and too complex and data--rich to be studied only theoretically. However, another dimension to dreams and dreaming could promise an integrative approach: the culture-historical compo-nent that merges with recent advances in artificial Intelligence. This paper briefly examines conceptual understandings of dreams before the dawn of modern science – specifically, the Native american, Mesopotamian, ancient Greek, and Hippocra-tic principles of dream practices and knowledge – in an attempt to understand the contemporary dream research field better and to outline future avenues for a data-driven approach while remaining grounded in its epistemological foundation.

Natrpana domovanja in druge grožnje zdravju: : razprave o higienizaciji v Avstrijskem primorju ob koncu 19. stoletja
Urška Bratož, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: V prispevku je opazovan diskurz, ki se je v Avstrijskem primorju (zlasti v Trstu) sple-tal okrog razprav o higienizaciji in asanaciji urbanega prostora. Pri tem so izpostavljeni od konca 19. stoletja naraščajoč družbeni pomen higiene v najširšem smislu, zavedanje o pomenu bivanjskih pogojev v urbanem prostoru ter vpliv socialnih okoliščin na otroško umr-ljivost. Slednja je bila namreč eden ključnih medicinskih, higienskih, moralnih in političnih argumentov za prikaz pomanjkljivih prizadevanj na področju zdravstvene preventive ter hkrati podlaga za širjenje modernih, z napredkom povezanih (meščanskih) idej, tudi skozi imperative, ki so naslavljali materinsko nego. Poleg tega je kvantitativni del analize podobno kot za Trst tudi za Koper vsaj deloma pokazal, da je bil velik delež smrti med otroki do petega leta starosti verjetno povezan prav s socialno deprivacijo tako z vidika higiene in prehrane kot profilakse in medicinske kurative.

Starostniki na podeželju v 19. stoletju
Dragica Čeč, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: S pomočjo individualnih študij primerov in analize diskurza na Kranjskem skuša čla-nek preseči obstoječe teorije, ki starejše na podeželju večinoma umeščajo v večgeneracijske družine. S preučevanjem prenosa premoženja, zaposlitvenih možnosti posameznikov brez premoženja, zakonskih strategij, ovir in dinamik ter zagotavljanja oskrbe starejših dru-žinskih članov na podeželju se razkrivajo različne strategije, identitete in konfiguracije v življenjskih strategijah in načinih preživljanja starejših na podeželju, ki presegajo dominan-tno v družino orientirano perspektivo. S poudarkom na zapletenem prepletanju dinamik lastnine, strategij preživetja in kolektivne solidarnosti ta članek osvetljuje večplastno življenje starejših na podeželju.

The coastal ichthyofauna of the Mediterranean coral reef : the case of Mljet National Park (Croatia, southern Adriatic Sea)
Lovrenc Lipej, Danijel Ivajnšič, Valentina Pitacco, Borut Mavrič, Domen Trkov, Petar Kružić, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: The authors studied the structure of the coastal fish assemblage in a temperate coral reef within a marine protected area in order to provide a baseline information on the occurrence and temporal distribution of fish and to highlight the importance of the coral reef to ichthyofauna. The coastal fish assemblage was investigated at two sites in Veliko jezero (Mljet National Park) in the southern Adriatic Sea with a non-destructive SCUBA visual technique in the period from 2013 to 2021. Altogether, 38 fish taxa were recorded on the right bank (coral reef) and 36 species on the left bank. The presence of the coral reef at a depth range between 9 m to 12 m is the main factor differentiating the fish fauna in these two areas, which are otherwise governed by the same environmental factors. At the coral reef a decrease in fish diversity was discovered with a steady regression from 2013 to 2021.

Perioperative increase in neutrophil CD64 expression is an indicator for intra-abdominal infection after colorectal cancer surgery
Milena Kerin-Povšič, Bojana Beović, Alojz Ihan, 2017, original scientific article

Abstract: Colorectal surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative infections. Early clinical signs are difficult to distinguish from the systemic inflammatory response related to surgical trauma. Timely diagnosis may significantly improve the outcome. The objective of this study was to compare a new biomarker index CD64 for neutrophils (iCD64n) with standard biomarkers, white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) for the early detection of postoperative infection. Methods. The prospective study included 200 consecutive patients with elective colorectal cancer surgery. Postoperative values of biomarkers from the postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD5 were analysed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to predict infection. The Cox regression model and the Kaplan-Meier method were used to assess prognostic factors and survival. Results. The increase of index CD64n (iCD64n) after surgery, expressed as the ratio iCD64n after/before surgery was a better predictor of infection than its absolute value. The best 30-day predictors of all infections were CRP on POD4 (AUC 0.72, 99% CI 0.61%0.83) and NLR on POD5 (AUC 0.69, 99% CI 0.57%0.80). The best 15-day predictors of organ/ space surgical site infection (SSI) were the ratio iCD64n on POD1 (AUC 0.72, 99% CI 0.58%0.86), POD3 (AUC 0.73, 99% CI 0.59%0.87) and CRP on POD3 (AUC 0.72, 99% CI 0.57%0.86), POD4 (AUC 0.79, 99% CI 0.64%0.93). In a multivariate analysis independent risk factors for infections were duration of surgery and perioperative transfusion while the infection itself was identified as a risk factor for a worse long-term survival. Conclusions. The ratio iCD64n on POD1 is the best early predictor of intra-abdominal infection after colorectal cancer surgery. CRP predicts the infection with the same predictive value on POD3.
