Življenjski slog študentov v kontekstu gibalne dejavnosti, sedečega načina in akademskih dosežkov
Full text linkThis study aims to explore the relationship between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and academic achievement among university students. A total of 243 students aged 18 to 24 years participated. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form, while sedentary behaviour was measured with the SIT-Q-7d. Academic achievement was based on self-reported average grades and compared across physical activity levels using one-way ANOVA. Results indicate that higher physical activity is not necessarily linked to better academic performance. Excessive involvement in physical activity may reduce study time, potentially leading to lower academic outcomes.Raziskava je preučevala povezavo med gibalno dejavnostjo, sedečim vedenjem in akademskim uspehom med 243 študenti, starimi od 18 do 24 let. Gibalna dejavnost je bila ocenjena z vprašalnikom IPAQ-SF, sedeče vedenje z vprašalnikom SIT-Q-7d, akademski uspeh pa s povprečno oceno. Rezultati enosmerne ANOVE so pokazali, da višja raven gibalne dejavnosti ni nujno povezana z boljšimi akademskimi dosežki in da prekomerna predanost gibalni dejavnosti lahko zmanjša čas, ki je na voljo za učenje, in tako vpliva na akademsko uspešnost. Nasprotno pa lahko zmerno sedeče vedenje, zlasti ob vikendih, v kombinaciji z učnimi dejavnostmi, koristi akademski uspešnosti
Dojemanje vrstniških povratnih informacij učencev v nižjih razredih osnovne šole
Full text linkThis paper presents the results of a study conducted on seventeen first- to fourth-grade elementary school students, the aim of which was to examine the students’ perceptions and assessments of the importance of peer feedback and the ways in which peer feedback is carried out. This paper emphasizes the need to raise awareness of the basic skills that are necessary for effective peer feedback – the development of critical thinking, evaluation, observation skills, communication skills, the development of empathy, self-confidence, and the development of respect for others.V prispevku so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, izvedene s sedemnajstimi učenci, in sicer od prvega do četrtega razreda osnovne šole. Cilj je bil preveriti dojemanje in ocene učencev o pomenu vrstniške povratne informacije in načinih izvajanja vrstniške povratne informacije. V prispevku je poudarjena potreba po ozaveščanju osnovnih veščin, ki so potrebne za učinkovito povratno informacijo vrstnikov – razvoj kritičnega mišljenja, vrednotenja, sposobnosti opazovanja, komunikacijskih veščin, razvoj empatije, samozavesti, razvoj spoštovanja do drugih
Status umetne inteligence v svetu umetnosti
No full textThe Status of Artificial Intelligence in the World of Art
Today, we are witnessing a very rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in practically all fields. The most widely known or notable development in the field of AI is the development of ChatGPT by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a tool which answers questions, and helps in writing texts, essays, and programming code with the help of AI. However, in recent years, another form of creative AI has been brought closer to the public, which, however, does not deal with language, but is artistically involved in the field of visual and other arts. Probably the most famous AI software for creating or generating visual art is DALL-E, which, like ChatGPT, is owned by OpenAI. In the article, we will touch upon the “problem” of introducing AI into the art world and what AI art represents to society in contrast to “normal” human art. We will mainly be interested in questions such as what AI art is, whether AI art can even be considered art, whether AI can be an artist in itself or is just a tool, and how and why AI art affects art itself.Danes smo priča zelo naglemu razvoju umetne inteligence (UI) na praktično vseh področjih. Javnosti najbolj znan oz. opazen razvoj na področju UI je razvoj ChatGPT-ja podjetja OpenAI. ChatGPT je orodje, ki s pomočjo UI odgovarja na vprašanja, pomaga pri pisanju besedil, esejev, tudi programerske kode. Se pa je v zadnjih letih javnosti približala še ena oblika kreativne UI, ki pa se ne ukvarja z jezikom, temveč se umetniško udejstvuje na področju vizualne in druge umetnosti. Verjetno najbolj znan program UI za ustvarjanje oz. generiranje grafične umetnosti je DALL-E, ki je tako kot ChatGPT v lasti podjetja OpenAI. V tem članku bomo pisali o »problematiki« vpeljevanja UI v umetniški svet in kaj umetnost UI v kontrastu z »normalno« človeško umetnostjo predstavlja družbi. Predvsem nas bodo zanimala vprašanja kot so, kaj je umetnost UI, ali umetnost UI sploh lahko upoštevamo kot umetnost, ali je UI lahko sama po sebi umetnik ali je samo orodje, kako in zakaj umetnost UI vpliva na umetnost samo ipd
Brazda, brizga, breskvica, fička, finka, fufljica, šiška, roža, špranjica: razmišljanje o prevajanju drame Eve Ensler Vaginalni monologi
Full text linkThe expressions scatology and coprology originate from Greek: their meaning is studying excrements in connection with food, health and diseases (the meaning of okatos being pus, excrement). They are also connected with sexual fetishism and toilet humour. Man sees this theme as jovial, but it can also express disgust with oneself and misanthropy. Trans-planting the scientific and lexicographical expressions to everyday vocabulary we immediately find ourselves in the field of insults, swearwords and curses. In the past, writers used to pay a lot of attention to obscene vocabulary; they were far from prudery. How did I tackle this problem when – perhaps in a moment of distraction – I agreed to translate Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues?Izraz skatologija ali koprologija prihaja iz grščine in pomeni preučevanje iztrebkov v povezavi s hrano, zdravjem in boleznimi (okatos pomeni gnoj, iztrebki), povezana pa je tudi s spolnim fetišizmom in s toaletnim humorjem. Odnos do te teme je lahko veseljaški ali pa izraža gnus do sebe in mizantropijo. Če znanstvene in slovarske definicije presadimo v vsakdanji besednjak, se znajdemo med žaljivkami, zmerljivkami in kletvicami. Pisatelji so se v preteklosti veliko ukvarjali z obscenim izrazoslovjem, tudi nič kaj čistunski niso bili. Predstavljam, kako sem se tega lotila, ko sem – morda v trenutku zmedenosti – sprejela naročilo, naj prevedem dramo Eve Ensler Vaginalni monologi
Reprezentacije spola, seksualnosti, etničnosti in družbenega razreda v sodobnih popularnih slovenskih kriminalkah
Full text linkRepresentations of Gender, Sexuality, Ethnicity and Social Class in Contemporary Popular Slovenian Crime Novels. The article presents a systematic deconstructive and thematic analysis of the representations of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and social class in thirty-five contemporary popular novels by Sergej Verč, Tone Frelih, Avgust Demšar, Tadej Golob, Irena Svetek and Mojca Širok. Drawing on existing studies that deal with the conservatism of the genre and the culture studies’ distinction between the conservative poetics of detective fiction and its (potentially subversive) politics of representations, the author formulates a three-part classification of regimes of representations. The analysis shows that the Slovenian crime novels under consideration, despite some critical implications, fit into conservative and liberal regimes of representation. The dominant representations are beyond the critical regime of representations because the other representational regimes mystify class antagonisms, which rarely find themselves at the centre of crime-motivated relationships between victims, murderers and detectives.Članek predstavlja sistematično dekonstruktivno in tematsko analizo reprezentacij spola, seksualnosti, etničnosti in družbenega razreda v petintridesetih sodobnih popularnih romanih Sergeja Verča, Toneta Freliha, Avgusta Demšarja, Tadeja Goloba, Irene Svetek in Mojce Širok. Avtor izhajajoč iz obstoječih študij, ki se ukvarjajo s konservativnostjo žanra, in iz kulturološkega razlikovanja med konservativno poetiko detektivske proze in njeno (potencialno subverzivno) politiko reprezentacij oblikuje tridelno klasifikacijo režimov reprezentacij. Analiza kaže, da se obravnavane slovenske kriminalke kljub nekaterim kritičnim implikacijam umeščajo v konservativne in liberalne režime reprezentacij. Prevladujoče reprezentacije so onstran kritičnega režima reprezentacij, ker drugi reprezentacijski režimi mistificirajo razredne antagonizme, ki se redko znajdejo v središču zločinskomotivnih razmerij med žrtvami, morilci in detektivi

Artificial Intelligence Application Through Electric Power And Climate Change
Full text linkAssessing and directing the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continues to be embedded in our daily lives and involves a united effort across academics, policy, and industry with ambiguity for impacting the present and the future. AI has the potential to improve outcomes, boost productivity, and improve the precision and effectiveness of the numerous facets of society that depend on probabilities and forecasts. In summary, its applications with the greatest potential might arise from those exceptionally complicated technological challenges that lie beyond the reach of human capability rather than from uses that impact civil freedoms and the social fabric of our society. One such complicated issue is climate change, which calls for significant adjustments to the building, energy, transportation, and agricultural sectors. In order to provide more accurate forecasts of impending weather phenomena, particularly extreme events, it can also expand on the discoveries made on climate links. The article critically examines the growing application of artificial intelligence through the Electric Power Sector in India
Analysis of the Use of Social Media Components on Serbian Hotels\u27 Websites
Full text linkThe research presented in this paper aims to determine to what extent hotels in Serbia use social media components on their websites. A total of 378 hotel websites in the Republic of Serbia were analysed. For each analysed hotel, the following attributes were observed: region, category, type, and size of the establishment, while the presence of valid links to social networks, the presence of a blog, Google Map, or a link to it, and the number of versions of the site in a foreign language were analysed on their websites. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were applied in data processing. The research has shown that hotels in Serbia insufficiently use social media components on their websites. These findings can be useful for hotels as they may indicate ways to improve their websites
Primerjalna analiza jakosti in smeri podnebnih sprememb v Evropi od pliocena do antropocena
Full text linkUnderstanding paleo-climate changes on Earth is crucial for the development of global climate models that predict the climate of the 21st century, while these changes also serve as an important driver of recent biodiversity patterns. In this paper, we use Change Vector Analysis (CVA) to examine changes in average annual air temperature and precipitation in Europe, based on the PaleoClim and CHELSA databases, from the Pliocene to the end of the 21st century. We focus on regional similarities and differences in the magnitude and direction of changes. The results highlight the natural dynamics of the climate and serve as a calibration for future change forecasts, which form the basis for current and future adaptation strategies in Europe.Razumevanje paleo-podnebnih sprememb na Zemlji je ključno za pripravo globalnih podnebnih modelov, ki napovedujejo podnebje v 21. stoletju, hkrati pa te spremembe predstavljajo pomembno gonilo recentnih vzorcev biodiverzitete. V prispevku z vektorsko analizo (CVA) obravnavamo spremembe povprečne letne temperature zraka in količine padavin v Evropi na podlagi baz PaleoClim in CHELSA, od pliocena do konca 21. stoletja. Osredotočamo se na regionalne podobnosti in razlike v jakosti in smeri sprememb. Rezultati poudarjajo naravno dinamiko podnebja in služijo kot umeritev za napovedi prihodnjih sprememb, ki so osnova za trenutne in prihodnje prilagoditvene strategije v Evropi
Vloga manjših mest v Alžiriji: urbani in gospodarski vidik
Full text linkThis paper examines the vital role of smaller towns in Algeria’s urbanization, highlighting their influence on national and regional dynamics. As Algeria reflects global urbanization trends, disparities remain between the north and south. Smaller towns—urban centers with populations of 5,000 to 50,000—serve as key links between rural and urban areas, facilitating trade, services, and regional integration. Using census and economic data, the study employs quantitative analysis to evaluate their functions. Despite financial and administrative hurdles, these towns are crucial for promoting regional balance and easing urban concentration. The paper advocates policies to enhance infrastructure, economic opportunities, and services in small towns, emphasizing their significance for sustainable development and for reducing spatial inequalities in Algeria’s growing urban landscape.V prispevku preučujemo vlogo manjših mest v urbanizaciji Alžirije in izpostavlja njihov vpliv v nacionalnem in regionalnem kontekstu. Čeprav Alžirija odraža globalne trende urbanizacije, ostajajo razlike med severom in jugom države. Manjša mesta – urbana središča s 5.000 do 50.000 prebivalci – služijo kot ključne povezave med podeželskimi in urbanimi območji, saj so to središča trgovine, storitev in regionalnega povezovanja. Študija z uporabo popisnih in gospodarskih podatkov kvantitativno analizira njihove funkcije. Kljub finančnim in upravnim oviram so ta mesta ključnega pomena za spodbujanje regionalnega ravnovesja in zmanjšanje koncentracije v velikih urbanih območjih. V prispevku zagovarjamo politike za izboljšanje infrastrukture, gospodarskih priložnosti in storitev v majhnih mestih, pri čemer poudarjamo njihov pomen za trajnostni razvoj in zmanjšanje prostorskih neenakosti v rastoči urbani krajini Alžirije.
