21. „Der Grundriss unseres Lebens ist in der Tat ein ‚Riss'" : Ansätze zu einer Anthropologie der Negativität bei Eugen FinkCathrin Nielsen, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: “The draft of our life is, indeed, a ‘rift’.” Towards an Outline of the Anthropology of Negativity in Eugen Fink --- Eugen Fink’s engagement with the nature of human being articulates essential truths about being human, without presupposing a positive essence of humanity; at the same time, it anchors this humanity in a structural negativity by placing it back into being torn open by the world. The world, in this context, is not a positive entity, but rather the “outline” of our existence in the here and now, which turns us into fragments of a whole characterized by withdrawal. It is precisely in the simultaneity of concrete situating and its transcendence through withdrawal that the crucial point of an anthropology of negativity lies, understood in the sense of the double genitive. Thus, the expression can be read once as a genetivus subjectivus (anthropology of negativity), whereby the finitude is conceived through the Absolute of “tearing,” as Fink primarily explores in his early speculative reflections following “the ontological paradox” of the subject, which here appears as a “distortion” of the Absolute. However, this meontic reading simultaneously gives rise to a reversal towards an anthropology of negativity, which will shape Fink’s middle and later thought. Here, human modes of being are to be read as ciphers of the experience of negativity.

22. William James’s Assessment of Nihilism as a Psychological PhenomenonJon Stewart, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The present article examines the contribution to the problem of nihilism found in the American philosopher and psychologist William James, specifically in his essay “Is Life Worth Living?” from 1896 and the chapter “The Sick Soul” from his The Varieties of Religious Experience from 1902. At the age of 27, James suffered a period of intense depression that lasted from the fall of 1869 until the spring of 1870. This experience shaped his views on nihilism. The present article argues that James’s proposed solution to the problem of nihilism, although formulated rather differently, is in essence the same as that of Jean Paul and the Danish thinker Poul Martin Møller. James’s originality can be found in his treatment of the issue as a psychological problem.

23. Der Wille zum NichtsDamir Barbarić, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The Will to Nothing --- The once vigorous and intense discussion of the problems gathered under the name of “nihilism” has recently noticeably lost its dynamism and productivity. The thesis of the present article is that the understanding of the essence of nihilism is only possible with sufficient insight into the metaphysical history of the West as it was authoritatively thought out and presented by Nietzsche. It is therefore necessary to rethink Nietzsche’s basic insights into the essence of nihilism in all forms of its appearance. In the main part of the paper, the meaning of the will to power as a central category of Nietzsche’s philosophy is discussed in detail, and, on this basis, it is shown that the basic definition of nihilism in Nietzsche is contained in his most principle statement that the will as such cannot cease to be a will, i.e. abandon and abolish itself, and that therefore it will rather will nothing than not will at all. From this it could possibly be concluded that a kind of positive nihilism, which Nietzsche announces as a Dionysian or divine way of thinking and living, should have as its starting point the relaxation and loosening of the will to power in contrast to its self-enhancement and empowerment.

25. Evaluation of height changes in uneven-aged spruce–fir–beech forest with freely available nationwide lidar and aerial photogrammetry dataAnže Martin Pintar, Mitja Skudnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Tree height and vertical forest structure are important attributes in forestry, but their traditional measurement or assessment in the field is expensive, time-consuming, and often inaccurate. One of the main advantages of using remote sensing data to estimate vertical forest structure is the ability to obtain accurate data for larger areas in a more time- and cost-efficient manner. Temporal changes are also important for estimating and analysing tree heights, and in many countries, national airborne laser scanning (ALS) surveys have been conducted either only once or at specific, longer intervals, whereas aerial surveys are more often arranged in cycles with shorter intervals. In this study, we reviewed all freely available national airborne remote sensing data describing three-dimensional forest structures in Slovenia and compared them with traditional field measurements in an area dominated by uneven-aged forests. The comparison of ALS and digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) data revealed that freely available national ALS data provide better estimates of dominant forest heights, vertical structural diversity, and their changes compared to cyclic DAP data, but they are still useful due to their temporally dense data. Up-to-date data are very important for forest management and the study of forest resilience and resistance to disturbance. Based on field measurements (2013 and 2023) and all remote sensing data, dominant and maximum heights are statistically significantly higher in uneven-aged forests than in mature, even-aged forests. Canopy height diversity (CHD) information, derived from lidar ALS and DAP data, has also proven to be suitable for distinguishing between even-aged and uneven-aged forests. The CHDALS 2023 was 1.64, and the CHDCAS 2022 was 1.38 in uneven-aged stands, which were statistically significantly higher than in even-aged forest stands.

26. Conceptual framework of coaches’ decision-making in conventional sportsEdvard Kolar, Roberto Biloslavo, Rado Pišot, Saša Veličković, Matej Tušak, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Introduction: A coach’s managerial and pedagogical tasks in the sports training process constitute the substantive core of their work, while decision-making serves as the fundamental method underpinning these tasks. Some decisions made by coaches result from deliberate, analytical thinking, which involves extensive information gathering, analysis, and discussion. Others, however, are made quickly and spontaneously, triggered by unforeseen situations during training or competition that demand immediate action. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework for understanding coaches’ decision-making behavior in conventional sports. This framework aims to establish appropriate relationships between the various decisions coaches make during the training process and theoretical concepts related to decisionmaking, both in general and within the coaching context. Methods: To design the research, we used the methodology of a conceptual paper and a “model paper” approach, which seeks to build a theoretical framework that predicts relationships between distinct research concepts and scientific disciplines, aiming to integrate them into a cohesive model of coaches’ decision-making behavior. Results: The proposed conceptual framework encompasses a comprehensive range of situations that may arise during the sports training process and potential ways to address them. This framework identifies different types of decisions and characteristics associated with coaches’ decision-making behavior. It incorporates various sport-specific and general theories of decision-making and cognitive functioning to offer a deeper understanding of how coaches process and execute decisions in diverse contexts. Discussion: The developed conceptual framework outlines three primary types of decisions—strategic, tactical, and operational—each playing a distinct role in the broader sports training process. These decisions are based on different cognitive processes, which manifest in varied decision-making behaviors and are reinforced by specific leadership styles. The practical value of this framework lies in its potential application for selecting appropriate experts to address the diverse decision-making scenarios encountered in sports training. This ensures the alignment of decision-making styles with the requirements of specific training situations, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and outcomes of the coaching process.

28. Evaluating alternative transformation pathways of wood-based bioeconomy : application of an input–output modelDomen Arnič, Efstratios Loizou, Špela Ščap, Peter Prislan, Luka Juvančič, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The wood-based bioeconomy is one of the main pillars of sustainable transformation and decarbonisation of the economy, as it promotes the use of renewable resources, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and supports the development of eco-friendly industries. The paper provides quantitative insight into the potential impacts of transformation of the wood-based bioeconomy in Slovenia, a small, export-oriented economy with ample, but sub-optimally used, forest resources. The analysis uses an input–output (I-O) model to estimate I-O multipliers of sectors representing the wood-based bioeconomy and to capture their direct and indirect impacts on the Slovenian economy. The baseline performance of the wood bioeconomy sectors and their potential to induce economic activity (Scenario A) are estimated with an adjusted I-O model (based on the national I-O table for 2015), in which hybrid sectors are divided into conventional and bio-based segments. Alternative transformation pathways are translated into four additional scenarios. While Scenario B foresees progress in efficiency and integration within the existing structure of transactions, Scenario C (increased energy use of wood biomass) and Scenarios D/D+ (technology- and capital-intensive restructuring) represent two extreme restructuring pathways of the sector. The results of scenario analysis with the I-O model show that the changes in the input requirement structure of the Slovenian wood-based bioeconomy could result in up to a 17% increase in total output, up to a 20% increase in the number of employees, and up to a 16% increase in incomes, all of them attributed to the most optimistic scenario (D+). The results of the study provide quantified assessments underpinning strategic planning for the wood-based bioeconomy, both in the industry and public policy spheres.

29. FoxP3+ regulatory T-cell quantities in nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphomas and peripheral T-cell lymphomas not otherwise specified and their impact on overall survivalEva Erzar, Alexandar Tzankov, Janja Ocvirk, Biljana Grčar-Kuzmanov, Lučka Boltežar, Veronika Kloboves-Prevodnik, Gorana Gašljević, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The role of FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumour microenvironment (TME) of peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) is complex, and their impact on overall survival (OS) is unclear. This retrospective study aims to examine the quantity of FoxP3+ cells in the TME of PTCLs and reactive lymph nodes (LNs) and their impact on OS. A lower FoxP3+ cell quantity is found in PTCLs compared to reactive LNs. While differences in OS are observed between groups with high and low FoxP3+ cell quantities using various cut-off values, further analyses show no significant impact on the risk of death. This study suggests FoxP3+ cells as potential prognostic biomarkers but recommends the conduction of larger, multicentre studies with standardized protocols for confirmation. It also indicates that Treg-suppressing drugs may not be suitable for certain PTCL patients. Instead, combining therapies, including those enhancing Treg function, could be more effective in improving outcomes for PTCL patients, warranting further research.

30. The impact of bone marrow involvement on prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma : an 18F-FDG PET/CT volumetric segmentation studyAndrej Doma, Andrej Studen, Barbara Jezeršek Novaković, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background: This study assessed the prognostic value of tumor burden in bone marrow (BM) and total disease (TD), as depicted on 18F-FDG PET/CT in 140 DLBCL patients, for complete remission after first-line systemic treatment (iCR) and 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS3 and OS5). Methods: Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT scans of 140 DLBCL patients were segmented to quantify metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and SUVmax in BMI, findings elsewhere (XL), and TD. Results: Bone marrow involvement (BMI) presented in 35 (25%) patients. Median follow-up time was 47 months; 79 patients (56%) achieved iCR. iCR was significantly associated with TD MTV, XL MTV, BM PET positivity, and International Prognostic Index (IPI). OS3 was significantly worse with TD MTV, XL MTV, IPI, and age. OS5 was significantly associated with IPI, but not with MTVs and TLGs. Univariate factors predicting OS3 were XL MTV (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.29), BMI SUVmax (HR = 0.56), and IPI (HR = 1.92). By multivariate analysis, higher IPI (HR = 2.26) and BMI SUVmax (HR = 0.91) were significant independent predictors for OS3. BMI SUVmax resulted in a negative coefficient and hence indicated a protective effect. Conclusions: Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT MTV is significantly associated with survival. BMI identified on 18F-FDG PET/CT allows appropriate treatment that may improve survival.
