201. »Vsi smo malo videli, da bog tudi prek socialnih omrežij deluje« : vpliv intenzivirane rabe digitalnih tehnologij na izbrane slovenske religijske skupnostiAleš Črnič, Taja Fortuna, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Prispevek predstavlja analizo intervjujev s predstavniki treh raznovrstnih slo-venskih religijskih skupnosti, večinske Rimskokatoliške cerkve, ustaljene manjšin-ske Islamske skupnosti ter mlajše in manjše Skupnosti za zavest Krišne. Raziskava si prizadeva spoznati in čim bolje razumeti, kako so se skupnosti prilagodile zah-tevnim izzivom epidemije koronavirusa covid-19, predvsem pa koliko in kako so si pri tem pomagale z digitalnimi tehnologijami ter kakšne začasne in dolgotrajnejše vplive je to imelo na religijsko življenje. Ugotavljamo, da je prisilna domestifika-cija religijskega življenja močno intenzivirala rabo digitalnih tehnologij, vendar so med proučevanimi skupnostmi pomembne razlike. V splošnem se digitalne teh-nologije niso izkazale kot nadomestek religijskih dejavnosti v živo, temveč večino-ma kot zasilno orodje v izjemnih razmerah. Po koncu epidemije ostaja hibridna raba predvsem tistih digitalnih orodij, ki so komplementarna dejavnostim v živo

202. Mediatizacija religije in zamikanje religijskih avtoritet : etnografska raziskava digitalizacije izbranih slovenskih religijskih skupnosti med epidemijoKatja Koren Ošljak, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: V okviru mednarodnega projekta Recovira je bil eden izmed raziskovalnih ci-ljev v Sloveniji mapiranje spletne prisotnosti treh religijskih skupnosti – Rimsko-katoliške cerkve, Islamske skupnosti v RS in Skupnosti za zavest Krišne. Posebno pozornost smo namenili obdobju zaprtja javnega življenja v času epidemije, ko se je večina dejavnosti religijskih skupnosti iz sakralnih objektov premaknila na splet. Ker je bil naš raziskovalni interes spoznati različne aspekte digitalizacije teh sku-pnosti, smo se zbiranja podatkov lotili s pomočjo metode netnografije. Osrednji cilj opravljene študije je identifikacija digitalnih oz. digitaliziranih praks religijskih skupnosti v odnosu do religijskih avtoritet. Na ozadju občinstvenega razumevanja mediatizacije in analize digitalnih religijskih praks smo opazovali spremembe v razmerjih moči znotraj opazovanih religijskih skupnosti in prišli do treh ključnih sklepov: 1. prilagoditve religijskega vsakdana so v katoliški skupnosti povzročile napetosti glede možnosti sodelovanja pri religijskih dejavnostih zunaj cerkva in ustreznosti ukrepov ob epidemiji; 2. islamska skupnost je v času epidemije od-povedala večino religijskih dejavnosti in pozvala k ravnanju, skladnemu z ukrepi; 3. skupnost Hare Krišna je bila v času epidemije daleč najbolj aktivna s praksami digitalizacije, ki so bile izrazito vključujoče naravnane. Ob tem pa smo identifi-cirali tudi primera alternativnih religijskih avtoritet, ki sta se formirali s pomočjo digitalnih medijev.

204. Seeing Mary and becoming Marija : Tsuneko Kondō-Kawase’s bridging religious and cultural boundariesHelena Motoh, Gašper Mithans, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: This article examines the extraordinary conversion story of Tsuneko Kondō-Kawase, a Japanese woman who became Marija Skušek upon her baptism and marriage in Ljubljana in 1927. Within a single hour at the Ljubljana Bishop’s Pala-ce, Kawase was baptised, confirmed, married, and her two children were baptised and confirmed. Her swift conversion and claims of Mary's apparitions captured public attention. This study situates her testimony within the broader context of religious conversion, the rise of pluralistic beliefs in a predominantly Catholic so-ciety, and the socio-political climate of the era. Central to her narrative are visions of Mary’s crowned image, shaped by Chinese Catholic traditions and Slovenian Marian devotion. Tsuneko’s experience underscores the complexity of non-Euro-pean conversions and the adaptability required by clergy to address diverse cultural identities. Tsuneko’s case highlights personal agency in navigating religious trans-formation, blending her Japanese and Chinese heritage with Slovenian Catholic influences. Her reinterpretation of Marian imagery illustrates how converts with their understanding of religious symbols actively engage to forge new identities. As a transitional figure, Tsuneko’s story sheds light on the interplay between per-sonal experiences and broader cultural adaptations in conversion processes. This analysis enriches the understanding of religious transformation, emphasizing the significance of individual narratives in exploring themes of faith, identity, and in-tegration across cultural and historical boundaries.

205. The Adamantine terrifier on the dresserGerald Kozicz, Di Luo, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: From 1920 to 1963, a collection of Chinese art–mostly from the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911)–was continuously presented at the changing addresses of Ivan and his wife Tsuneko Kondō-Kawase, who finally adopted the full Slovene name of Mari-ja Skušek after her baptism in 1927. The collection had been assembled in Beijing where Ivan Skušek had arrived in 1914 and been a prisoner of war from 1917, and it was then shipped to Ljubljana after his release in 1920. Photographs and a film document how their private rooms were turned into exhibition rooms. They had quite a spectacular arrangement of metalworks on a dresser in front of a mirror. In all locations in Ljubljana where the Skušeks lived, one wrathful figure was always in the centre of the group: Vajrabhairava, the Adamantine Terrifier. The following article examines the significance of this Buddhist deity in the context of Buddhism in China. It inspects the function and meaning of the dresser, in particular the symbolism of the mirror in relation to the Yamāntaka group of tantric deities, among whom Vajrabhairava assumes the highest position. It further addresses Marija Skušek’s possible role as the actual curator, raising the question about a possible socio-religious concept behind the configuration of the figures.

207. Taisho period divination as Tsuneko Kondo Kawaseʼs personal itemKlara Hrvatin, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: The article examines a Taishō period (1912–26) divination document, a per-sonal item of Tsuneko Kondō Kawase, preserved in the archive of her collected documents at the Slovene Ethnographic Museum. It is a handwritten piece of calligraphy depicting a prophecy based on Takashima’s Judgments on the Book of Changes, an important text based on the Yijing or Book of Changes. This document, which Marija Skušek kept until her death, is characterized by its form, calligraphic style, and red stamps. The article aims to explore the transcription and translati-on of the divination, the form and dating of the document, and how it relates to Tsuneko’s life choices. The author raises questions about when Tsuneko acquired the document and whether it influenced her crucial life decisions, particularly before her trip to Europe, during her last visit to Japan, or before her marriage to Ivan Skušek.

208. Implementing the excess paste concept for a systematic mix design of printable concreteLucija Hanžič, Katarina Šter, Mateja Štefančič, 2024, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The properties of concrete depend on a number of interrelated factors and for this reason, the mix design process is, to a significant extent, an educated guess. Nevertheless, the choice of factors and implementation of multifactorial analysis can provide new insights into complex correlations. A factor, rarely adopted in the design of printable concrete, is the quantity of excess paste.
Concrete can be considered a two-phase system comprising the aggregate and the cementitious paste. The paste required to fill the voids between the aggregate grains is the requisite paste. However, to coat the grains and form a cohesive mix the excess paste must be added which, in turn, increases the distances between aggregate particles. The volume fraction of excess paste is thus the principal factor in the design process. The second factor is the paste composition. The paste consists of reactive and inert powders, water and soluble admixtures. Although chemically reactive materials are necessary for binding, cohesiveness can be achieved by inert particles while improved packing of particles also enhances the mechanical characteristics.
The excess paste mix design is discussed on two modifications of a concrete mixture suitable for extrusion-based 3D printing. The necessary input data and the associated tests on aggregate and powders are presented. Additionally, a computerized, multi-factorial approach to mix design optimization is proposed.

209. Experimental study of fire propagation on sloped roof with building applied photovoltaicsReidar Stølen, Janne Siren Fjærestad, Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen, Grunde Jomaas, 2024, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Photovoltaic modules have been shown to influence how a fire propagates across a flat roof, but the circumstances for which building attached photovoltaic (BAPV) modules promote fire propagation on a sloped roof is not studied in detail. Therefore, a series of small-medium- and large-scale experiments on a sloped roof with a BROOF(t2)-rated bituminous roof membrane on a wood chipboard substrate has been performed. Steel plates mimicking non-combustible photovoltaic (PV) modules were placed at different distances above the roof. Different sized wood cribs placed in the gap between the roof and the PV module were used as the ignition source. Similarly to findings for flat roofs, the experiments showed that the gap distance and the size of the ignition source are key factors for how far the fire propagates from the starting point. This supports that BAPV installations affect the fire dynamics on roofs. As such, the complete system of roof composition and PV installation needs to be considered as a whole to ensure adequate fire safety levels.
