291. Population-genetics analysis of the brown trout broodstock in the “Panjica” hatchery (Serbia) and its conservation applicationsTijana Veličković, Aleš Snoj, Jernej Bravničar, Vladica Simić, Radek Šanda, Jasna Vukić, Dovilė Barcytė, David Stanković, Saša Marić, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Artificial propagation and stocking of brown trout is a standard practice in recreational fishery management. In recent decades, the importance of maintaining intraspecific diversity and protecting locally adapted lineages has been recognized for the species' long-term survival. The first step in selecting donors for stocking involves distinguishing native trout from non-native and introgressed individuals. The established method for discerning Atlantic hatchery strains from the wild populations involves genetic screening of individual diagnostic SNPs and microsatellite assignment tests. This study, using Serbia's Panjica hatchery as an example, illustrates the proper conduct of routine genetic screening for identifying suitable donors for supportive stocking. The broodstock and reference populations were screened using mtDNA control region, LDH nuclear gene, and 12 microsatellite loci to assess the origin, diversity, and inbreeding levels. The analysis revealed only moderate contamination with Atlantic trout and showed the regional origin of the Danubian genes – over 50% of the broodstock was composed of non-introgressed Danubian individuals tracing their origin to the Zapadna Morava River system. Additionally, the study highlighted a considerable discordance between LDH locus and microsatellites in identifying introgressed individuals, raising concerns about the sole reliance on LDH locus for the identification of Atlantic genetic origin in nuclear DNA.

292. A new approach to universal $F$-inverse monoids in enriched signatureGanna Kudryavtseva, Ajda Lemut Furlani, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We show that the universal $X$-generated $F$-inverse monoid $F(G)$, where ▫$G$▫ is an $X$-generated group, introduced by Auinger, Szendrei and the first-named author, arises as a quotient inverse monoid of the Margolis-Meakin expansion $M(G, X\cup \overline{G})$ of $G$, with respect to the extended generating set $X\cup \overline{G}$, where $\overline{G}$ is a bijective copy of $G$ which encodes the ▫$m$▫-operation in $F(G)$. The construction relies on a certain dual-closure operator on the semilattice of all finite and connected subgraphs containing the origin of the Cayley graph ${\rm Cay}(G, X\cup {\overline{G}})$ and leads to a new and simpler proof of the universal property of $F(G)$.

294. Mreža občanske znanosti v SlovenijiMitja Vovk Iskrić, 2024, strokovni članek Povzetek: Občanska znanost je koncept znanstvenoraziskovalnega dela, ki spodbuja odprt dialog med znanstveno in širšo skupnostjo, s čimer usmerja tudi družbeni razvoj. V Sloveniji je v zadnjem letu doživela pomemben razvoj, zlasti z vzpostavitvijo specializiranega spletnega portala citizenscience.si in nastankom Mreže občanske znanosti. Tudi Evropska unija je prispevala k napredku in vidnosti občanske znanosti, zlasti s financiranjem projektov. Poleg drugih organizacij, kot so muzeji in društva, ter posameznikov tudi univerze in raziskovalni inštituti prispevajo k razvoju občanske znanosti. Širijo in krepijo raziskovalne dejavnosti z vključevanjem javnosti in hkrati tudi izboljšujejo svoj družbeni položaj ter povečujejo zaupanje v znanost. Hkrati zagotavljajo infrastrukturo, znanje, veščine, etične in pravne okvire ter financiranje. V Sloveniji je vključevanje javnosti v znanost dolgoletna tradicija, ki je potekala pod različnimi imeni, dokler se ni utrdil izraz »občanska znanost« kot najprimernejši prevod. Centralna tehniška knjižnica Univerze v Ljubljani (CTK) že od leta 2017 sodeluje pri promociji in razvoju občanske znanosti v Sloveniji, z organizacijo strokovnih srečanj in pozneje tudi neposredno s podporo projektu občanske znanosti. Sodeluje z drugimi organizacijami pri pripravi dogodkov za spodbujanje sodelovanja med raziskovalci in knjižnicami ter širšo skupnostjo in aktivno deluje v mednarodnih organizacijah. V članku so podrobno predstavljeni vsebina portala citizenscience.si, ki ga je razvila Centralna tehniška knjižnica Univerze v Ljubljani, ter ustanovitev in delovanje Mreže občanske znanosti v Sloveniji.

295. Laser powder bed fusion parameters optimization for enhanced mechanical properties of EOS Co-Cr dental alloyDalibor Viderščak, Zdravko Schauperl, Biserka Runje, Sanja Šolić, Amir Ćatić, Matjaž Godec, Irena Paulin, Črtomir Donik, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: This research explores how variations in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) parameters—laser power (P), scanning speed (v), and base plate preheating temperature (ϑp)—affect the mechanical properties of the EOS Co-Cr SP2 dental alloy. A central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the process parameters. Mechanical testing focused on crucial properties for dental applications, including yield strength (Rp0.2), elongation (ε), toughness (KVa), and flexural strength (Rms). Microstructural analysis was conducted using light and electron microscopy, while XRD identified microstructural phases. Statistical analysis (ANOVA, Scheffé post hoc test, α = 0.05) revealed significant effects of P, v, and ϑp on the mechanical properties. Response surface models (RSMs) were developed, and optimal parameters were determined to achieve maximum toughness and flexural strength. Maximum values were obtained with laser power above 205Wand base plate preheating at 310 ◦C. The mathematical model predicted toughness values with less than 5% deviation from experimental results, indicating high accuracy.

297. Enhancing magnesium bioactivity for biomedical applications : effects of laser texturing and sandblasting on surface propertiesMarjetka Conradi, Aleksandra Kocijan, Bojan Podgornik, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Magnesium and its alloys, valued for their lightweight and durable characteristics, have garnered increasing attention for biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability. This work introduces a comparison of advanced and basic methods—laser texturing and sandblasting—on magnesium surfaces to enhance bioactivity for biomedical applications. Employing a comprehensive analysis spanning surface morphology, hardness, wettability, tribological performance, and corrosion behavior, this study elucidates the intricate relationship between varied surface treatments and magnesium’s performance. Findings reveal that both laser texturing and sandblasting induce grain refinement. Notably, sandblasting, particularly with a duration of 2 s, demonstrates superior wear resistance and reduced corrosion rates compared to untreated magnesium, thereby emerging as a promising approach for enhancing magnesium bioactivity in biomedical contexts. This investigation contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced interactions between diverse surface treatments and their implications for magnesium implants in chloride-rich environments, offering valuable insights for prospective biomedical applications.

298. Seepage detection using passive temperature measurements by fiber optic DTSYaser Ghafoori, 2024, drugi znanstveni članki Povzetek: This article is an extended abstract of the doctoral dissertation “Optimization of early seepage detection in embankments using a distributed temperature system based on fiber optic sensing” [1]. Distributed Temperature Sensors (DTS) measure temperature precisely with high spatial resolution, enabling seepage flow detection through the interpretation of temperature measurement. Active DTS measurement which introduces heat into the soil to monitor its dissipation, has been extensively studied for seepage detection. However, the potential of passive measurement, which measures natural soil temperature, for seepage detection demands further exploration. The doctoral research investigated the capability of passive DTS measurements for seepage detection. The findings show that passive DTS detects very small temperature variations as a result of the seepage flow. Additionally, the results offer valuable insights into the coupled hydro-thermal behavior and the influence of seepage on heat transfer. The thesis classified and compared different techniques for temperature data calibration and interpretation. Furthermore, an interpretation approach based on numerical simulation and a fully dynamic calibration technique was developed.

299. Crack size in coating and moisture problems comparing thermally modified and native spruce window frame profiles using hygrothermal simulationGregor Vidmar, Rožle Repič, Boštjan Lesar, Miha Humar, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Fungal growth and degradation of wood may be caused by damage in the surface coating. The larger the cracks, the greater in principle the possibility of moisture-induced problems. Measuring basic unknown material parameters and employing hygrothermal simulations, the suitability and the maximum acceptable vertical crack size in the surface coating for a given bottom window profile made of thermally modified (TM) spruce(wood) with that made of native spruce were compared for location Ljubljana. Validation with the field test data was the second objective of the respective research. The average calculated maximum moisture content in TM spruce is about 4% (kg/kg) lower than that of native spruce. The 3 mm wide crack in the surface coating of a window frame made of native spruce is of the highest concern, whereas a 9 mm wide crack in the coating of a TM spruce profile is still acceptable. As far as moisture content is concerned in our study the TM spruce window frames were proved to be significantly more suitable for installation than the corresponding frames made of native Norway spruce. It was shown that isopleth, VTT and biohygrothermal models for mould growth do not properly capture the comparison between both materials, mainly because they classify both in the same material class/substrate category and they do not consider the material moisture content.

300. The abdominal adiposity index (a body shape index) predicts 10-year all-cause mortality in elderly active non-obese subjectsAlessio Nunnari, Filippo Giorgio Di Girolamo, Kaja Teraž, Nicola Fiotti, Boštjan Šimunič, Filippo Mearelli, Rado Pišot, Gianni Biolo, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background/Objectives: A Body Shape Index (ABSI), which accounts for waist circumference relative to mass and height, shows a robust association with mortality risk. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of ABSI as a predictor of 10-year all-cause mortality in physically active, non-obese elderly individuals. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 159 volunteers (94 women, aged 60–80 years), recruited in the frame of the “Physical Activity and Nutrition for Great Ageing” (PANGeA) Cross-border Cooperation Program Slovenia–Italy 2007–2013, and followed for 10 years. Baseline characteristics included anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and cardiovascular fitness tests (VO2max). Statistical analyses (Cox regression, Kaplan–Meier survival) were conducted to examine the relationship between ABSI and mortality. Results: During the 10-year follow-up, 10 deaths (6.7%) were recorded. ABSI (adjusted for age, smoking, comorbidities, and therapy) was an independent predictor of mortality (hazard ratio = 4.65, p < 0.001). Higher ABSI scores were linked to reduced VO2max (r = −0.190, p = 0.017) and increased systolic blood pressure (r = 0.262, p = 0.001). An ABSI-based predictive model showed strong discriminatory power (AUROC = 0.91). Conclusions: ABSI is a reliable predictor of 10-year mortality in active, non-obese elderly individuals and may improve risk stratification in clinical practice.
