Ženski klub
No full textThis thesis examines the entire process of animating a short movie implementing several different animation mediums and techniques. The theme of the work focuses on female harassment in public spaces, especially places of pleasure and fun, like clubs, where the film takes place. It shows the female perspective and internalised feelings towards men who openly show violence towards the female gender.
Using this film as an example I show the entire process of creating a short animation film with a focus on techniques I used, such as rotoscopy and paint-on-glass animation with all of its advantages and disadvantages as a medium and all positive and negative sides as the entire creative process.Diplomsko delo obravnava celoten postopek animacije kratkega filma z uporabo več različnih animacijskih medijev in tehnik. Tema dela se osredotoča na nadlegovanje žensk v javnih prostorih, zlasti v krajih užitka in zabave, kot so klubi, kjer se film odvija. Prikazuje žensko perspektivo in ponotranjena občutja do moških, ki odkrito kažejo nasilje nad ženskim spolom.
Na primeru tega filma prikazujem celoten postopek ustvarjanja kratkega animiranega filma s poudarkom na uporabljenih tehnikah, kot sta rotoskopija in animacija s slikanjem na steklo, z vsemi prednostmi in slabostmi kot medija ter vsemi pozitivnimi in negativnimi stranmi kot celotnega ustvarjalnega procesa
Soft GE-algebras
No full textAbstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of soft GE-algebras within the framework of GE-algebra theory, extending existing approaches by incorporating principles of soft set theory. We investigate the structural properties of soft GE-algebras, define operations on these structures, and establish criteria for identifying soft subalgebras. Furthermore, we present key theorems that relate the properties of soft GE-algebras to operations such as intersection, union, and mapping, particularly emphasizing the role of GE-morphisms. These findings lay the groundwork for further exploration of soft structures in the context of GE-algebras and their potential applications in decision-making and computational logic

No full textČlanek raziskuje, kako srbska manjšina v Novi Gorici dojema pomen in funkcijo slave, osrednjega rituala v njihovi domovini, ter kakšne posledice ima ta za oblikovanje in utrjevanje identifikacijskih praks v kontekstu migracij. Na podlagi terenskega raziskovanja, ki je temeljilo na antropoloških metodah – vključno z intervjuji, opazovanjem z udeležbo in avtoetnografijo –, članek osvetljuje slavo kot transnacionalno prakso, ki povezuje posameznike z domovino, hkrati pa oblikuje kulturno identiteto v diaspori. Študija ugotavlja, da ima slava dvojno vlogo: spodbuja kulturno kohezijo in čustvene vezi z domovino, obenem pa je prostor pogajanj o osebni in kulturni identiteti v večkulturnem okolju. Ti izsledki prispevajo k boljšemu razumevanju migrantske izkušnje Srbov v Sloveniji, saj poudarjajo preplet med ohranjanjem kulture in preoblikovanjem identitete.This article examines how Serbs in Nova Gorica perceive the meaning and function of slava, a significant ritual, and explores its identity implications in the context of their migration experience. Based on anthropological methods, including semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and autoethnography, this research highlights the crucial role of slava in understanding the transnational experiences and self-determination of Serbs living in Slovenia.
The findings reveal that slava serves as both a religious and social practice, acting as a vital transnational thread that connects individuals with their homeland. Many participants emphasized that the ritual fosters a renewed sense of belonging to their place of origin, even when physically distanced. Despite being embedded in a new environment, the celebration of slava remains deeply rooted in the cultural and emotional landscape of the Serbian community, balancing nostalgia, pride, and longing.in Nova Gorica, slava reinforces family ties, maintains cultural heritage, and fosters a sense of belonging within the diasporic community. it operates not only as a religious ceremony but also as a means to sustain cultural identity and cohesion. However, the ritual’s role in identity formation is complex and multifaceted. For some, slava affirms a unified “Serbian” identity, while for others, it represents a more fluid and bifocal perspective, navigating between “here” and “there”. This bifocality allows the ritual to function as a medium of identification across spatial and cultural boundaries.at the same time, some individuals perceive slava as a restrictive marker of a one-dimensional identity. in such cases, the ritual is rejected in favor of a mul-tinational self-definition, reflecting an awareness of the potential stigmatization of minority identities within a dominant cultural framework. These divergent ap-proaches to slava underscore its dual function as both a means of preserving cultural specificity and a site of negotiation for identity in a multicultural environment.This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how slava operates as a cultural and transnational practice among Serbs in Nova Gorica. it demonstrates the ritual’s pivotal role in sustaining emotional and cultural connections with the homeland while also serving as a lens through which the complexities of migration, identity, and self-determination are articulated and negotiated
On the heart of a hypergroup with a vision towards its computation
No full textThe notion of strongly regular relation was introduced in 1970 by M.
Koskas in the context of Hv-(semi)hypergroups, where he defined the fundamental relation and its transitive closure . In 1993 T. Vougiouklis, studied the fundamental relation on (semi)groups. It has been shown that, in both cases, the relation establishes a connection between compositional algebra and hypercompositional algebra. In this work, we use the results of D. Freni and the algorithm proposed by Pourhaghani, Anvariyeh, and Davvaz to compute the fundamental group of a finite hypergroup and determine its heart
Dense sentence sets induce an anchor-and-baseline strategy in likert scale acceptability judgments
No full textResearch in experimental syntax typically assumes that the five-point Likert scale offers an ordinal probe that maps monotonically onto a latent degree of sentence acceptability. We challenge that assumption by showing that, when the stimulus space is densely populated, speakers repurpose the scale into an anchor-and-baseline device. Two large-N experiments (Russian and Serbo-CroatianN=237120 permutational word-order variants per language) elicited over 28000 sentence acceptability ratings. Plotting Shannon entropy of the response distribution against the mean rating reveals a robust \u27entropy arch\u27: uncertainty climbs to a sharp peak at the midpoint and collapses toward both ends. We interpret the arch as the quantitative fingerprint of constraint competition: the scale extremes serve as categorical anchors (\u27completely acceptable\u27 vs. \u27completely unacceptable\u27), while the center functions as a floating baseline against which speakers register maximally uncertain, cue-balanced configurations for which grammatical, information-structural and frequency-based cues pull in opposite directions. Our findings reframe Likert data as the outcome of dynamic calibration rather than static preference strength and provide a simple diagnostic, entropy profiling, for locating linguistic \u27tipping-point\u27 constructions. Beyond sentence acceptability, the approach offers a principled way to map regions of maximal competition in any domain where categorical anchors and graded uncertainty coexist
Reconstructing the dark energy density in light of DESI BAO observations
No full textIn light of the evidence for dynamical dark energy (DE) found from the most recent Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements, we perform a nonparametric, model-independent reconstruction of the DE density evolution. To do so, we develop and validate a new framework that reconstructs the DE density through a third-degree piecewise polynomial interpolation, allowing for direct constraints on its redshift evolution without assuming any specific functional form. The strength of our approach resides in the choice of directly reconstructing the DE density, which provides a more straightforward relation to the distances measured by BAO than the equation of state parameter. We investigate the constraining power of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations combined with supernovae (SNe) and BAO measurements. In agreement with results from other works, we find a preference for deviations from ΛCDM
, with a significance of 2.4�
when using the Dark Energy Survey Year 5 (DESY5) SNe data, and 1.3�
with PantheonPlus. In all the cases we consider, the derived DE equation of state parameter presents evidence for phantom crossing. By investigating potential systematic effects in the low-redshift samples of DESY5 observations, we confirm that correcting for the offset in apparent magnitude with respect to PantheonPlus data, as suggested in previous studies, completely removes the tension. Furthermore, we assess the risk of potentially overfitting the data by changing the number of interpolation nodes. As expected, we find that with lesser nodes we get a smoother reconstructed behavior of the DE density, although with similar overall features. The pipeline developed in this work is ready to be used with future high-precision data to further investigate the evidence for a nonstandard background evolution
