11. King Otto IV’s Donation of the Margraviate of Istria to the Patriarchate of Aquileia: Augsburg, 13th of January, 1209Josip Banić, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The author analyzes the donation charter issued by King Otto IV during the Diet of Augsburg to Patriarch Wolfger and the Church of Aquileia, bestowing upon the recipient the temporal jurisdiction over the Margraviate of Istria. The charter has remained unedited and unknown to historiography to this day, fostering some erroneous interpretations of the events and circumstances that led to this fateful event in January of 1209. First, the author explicates the context surrounding the issuing of this donation charter, showing that newly recognized King Otto IV had much to gain from allying with Patriarch Wolfger. Second, the charter is analyzed from a diplomatic point of view, showing that the document, preserved only as a vidimus from 1303, is indeed authentic. The author concludes by viewing the donation through analytical lenses of Marcel Mauss’s theory of the gift. The paper ends with the critical edition of the charter and its translation into contemporary English.

12. Spoglio di fonti archivistiche (I). Edizione critica di quattro documenti sull’Istria medievale (1096-1412)Josip Banić, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Il presente contributo propone l’edizioni critiche di quattro documenti riguardanti
l’Istria medievale con brevi note introduttive. Si tratta delle seguenti fonti: l’atto
di donazione del 1096, conservato in originale, rilasciato da un certo Giovanni,
figlio di Rantulfo, che cedeva al Patriarcato di Aquileia possedimenti nei dintorni
di Nigrignano in Istria; l’instrumento di procura, conservato anche in originale,
che il comune di Rovigno consegnò nel 1283 al suo rappresentante Boninsegna,
autorizzandolo a sottomettere la città al doge e il comune di Venezia; l’atto di
investitura, conservato in trascrizione nei registri del Senato veneziano, rilasciato
nel 1389 dal patriarca di Aquileia Giovanni di Moravia a Simone e Dionigi di Portole
e la successiva conferma della stessa investitura rilasciata dal doge di Venezia
Michele Steno nel 1412; le commissioni ducali, conservate in una trascrizione nei
registri delle commissioni del Collegio veneziano, che il doge Michele Steno impartì
ad Ermolao Lambardo, nuovo capitano dell’esercito e della marina veneziana in
Istria, istruendolo a conquistare e sottomettere Buie, allora roccaforte delle forze
filo-ungheresi nell’Istria aquileiese.

13. The pact between Raymond della Torre, Patriarch of Aquileia, and the Commune of Venice (February 18, 1275) : an addiction to Pacta Veneta 12Josip Banić, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The author edits and analyzes a pact concluded in February 1275 between Patriarch of Aquileia Raymond della Torre and Doge Lorenzo Tiepolo and the Commune of Venice. The pact is shown to be essentially a confirmation of an older treaty signed in 1254 between Patriarch Gregory of Montelongo and Doge Reniero Zeno with only a few additional articles. The pact is contextualized within the broader setting of the Patriarchate of Aquileia at the beginning of Raymond’s reign. In this pact, the Venetians readily expanded their rights and prerogatives within the Patriarchate of Aquileia with each new treaty, yet offered very little in return. The patriarchs, however, were in dire need of Venice as an ally and Venetian traders to replenish their depleted treasury, hence the willingness to sign pacts that clearly favored the Venetians.

14. Planning the Reconquista of Venetian Istria : the Treaty of Pazin (July 27, 1278)Josip Banić, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: The author critically edits, translates into English, and analyzes the Treaty of Pazin, a pact signed between Count Albert I of Gorizia and the Commune of Koper on July 27, 1278. The signees forged a military alliance directed against Venice, with the aim of reconquering the Istrian lands that had subjected themselves to the Venetian Commune between 1267 and 1271, that is, Poreč, Umag, Novigrad and Sveti Lovreč. First, the background leading up to the signing of this treaty is thoroughly illuminated, revealing the evolutionary thread that tied the two contrahents together in their Istrian ventures. Thus, the alliance formed in Pazin in 1278 was but a continuation of the joint efforts of the Gorizian and the Capodistrian commune, the duo’s first undertaking being the war against Patriarch Gregory fought in 1267 and 1268–1269. Second, the treaty itself is broken down, contextualized, and analyzed from the diplomatic point of view. It is shown that the document in question is a notarial sealed charter and that the surviving manuscript is one of the two originals issued in Pazin, that is, the Capodistrian exemplar. The paper then turns to the aftermath of the joint actions undertaken by the Gorizian-Capodistrian alliance, showing that the anti-Venetian coalition failed to achieve their primary objective, even though their initial prospects for achieving their goals had been high. The paper closes with an in extenso critical edition of the Treaty of Pazin and its translation into contemporary English.

15. Subvenite oppresso! Žalbe porečkog biskupa Bonifacija Svetoj Stolici (kraj 13. stoljeća)Josip Banić, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: Autor detaljno raščlanjuje dvije žalbe koje je porečki biskup Bonifacije (1282. – 1305.) predstavio Svetoj Stolici. Dosad je bila poznata samo jedna Bonifacijeva žalba izdana u krajnje manjkavoj ediciji koju je priredio Pietro Kandler, datiravši ju pritom pogrešno u 1301. godinu. Ta pogrešna datacija, nekritički preuzimana do danas, urodila je nizom neodrživih interpretacija koje ovaj prilog ispravlja. Na temelju podrobne analize obiju žalbi zaključuje se da je Bonifacije pisao Svetoj Stolici krajem 13. stoljeća dok je još uvijek bio živ njegov metropolit s kojim je bio u sukobu, akvilejski patrijarh Rajmund della Torre (1273. – 1299.). Rad završava kritičkom priredbom obiju žalbi Keywords: Istra, Porečka biskupija, 13. stolijeće, akvilejski patrijarhat, biskup Bonifacije (1282. – 1305.), patrijarh Rajmund della Torre (1273. – 1299.)

17. Oxygen consumption and carbon budget in groundwater-obligate and surface-dwelling Diacyclops species (Crustacea Copepoda Cyclopoida) under temperature variabilityTiziana Di Lorenzo, Agostina Tabilio Di Camillo, Sanda Iepure, Diana Maria Paola Galassi, Nataša Mori, Tatjana Simčič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This study explores the metabolic response and carbon budget of two cyclopoid copepod species, Diacyclops belgicus Kiefer, 1936 (a stygobitic, groundwater-adapted species) and Diacyclops crassicaudis crassicaudis (Sars G.O., 1863) (a stygophilic, predominantly surface-associated species). We measured oxygen consumption rates (OCRs), carbon requirements (CRs), ingestion (I) rates, and egestion (E) rates at 14 °C and 17 °C, representing current and predicted future conditions in the collection habitats of the two species. Diacyclops belgicus displayed OCRs (28.15 and 18.32 µL O2/mg DW × h at 14 and 17 °C, respectively) and carbon budget (CR: 0.14 and 0.10 µg C/mg × d at 14 and 17 °C) lower than those of D. crassicaudis crassicaudis (OCR: 55.67 and 47.93 µL O2/mg DW × h at 14 and 17 °C; CR: 0.3 and 0.27 µg C/mg × d at 14 and 17 °C). However, D. belgicus exhibited metabolic rates and carbon requirements comparable to those of other epigean species, challenging the assumption that low metabolic rates are universal among stygobitic species. Temperature variations did not significantly affect the metabolic responses and carbon requirements of the two species, suggesting that they may cope with moderate temperature increases.

18. Computational methods for detecting insect vibrational signals in field vibroscape recordingsMatija Marolt, Matevž Pesek, Rok Šturm, Juan José López Díez, Behare Rexhepi, Meta Virant-Doberlet, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The ecological significance of vibroscape has been largely overlooked, excluding an important part of the available information from ecosystem assessment. Insects rely primarily on substrate-borne vibrational signalling in their communication, which is why the majority of terrestrial insects are excluded from passive acoustic monitoring. The ability to monitor the biological component of the natural vibroscape has been limited due to a lack of data and methods to analyse the data. In this paper, we evaluate the use of deep learning models to automatically detect and classify vibrational signals from field recordings obtained with laser vibrometry. We created a dataset of annotated vibroscape recordings of meadow habitats, containing vibrational signals categorized as pulses, harmonic signals, pulse trains, and complex signals. We compared different deep neural network architectures for the detection and classification of vibrational signals, including convolutional and transformer models. The PaSST transformer architecture, which was fine-tuned from a pre-trained checkpoint demonstrated the highest performance on all tasks, achieving an average precision of 0.79 in signal detection. For signals with more than one hour of annotated data, the classification models achieved instance-based F1-scores above 0.8, enabling automatic analysis of activity patterns. In our case study, where 24-hour field recordings were analysed, the trained models (even those with lower precision) revealed interesting activity patterns of different species. The presented study, together with the dataset we publish with this paper, lays the foundation for further analysis of the vibroscape and the development of automated methods for ecotremological monitoring that complement passive acoustic monitoring and provide a comprehensive approach to ecosystem assessment.

20. The effects of the Hand in Hand : empowering teachers(HAND: ET) programme on teacher burnout in Slovenia. Do experience and baseline emotional competencies matter?Ana Kozina, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: As burnout affects teachers’ health and well-being, as well as their teaching understanding interventions beneficial for prevention is crucial. In this study, we explored possible predictors of the decrease in the dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, physical fatigue, cognitive weariness) after the HAND: ET intervention. We used following predictors: teachers’ experience (professional experience and previous experience of activities supporting emotional competencies) and baseline emotional competencies (self-awareness (operationalised as mindfulness), and self-management (operationalised as emotional self-efficacy)). We used data gathered from the Shirom−Melamed Burnout Questionnaire, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale, and a set of demographic questions in a Slovene sample of in-service teachers (N = 185). Teachers’ experiences were not significant predictors of a decrease in any of the dimension of burnout, while baseline emotional competencies, were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion. The findings support the universal nature of the HAND: ET intervention as well as the importance of continuous support for teachers’ emotional competencies.
