No full textStructural analysis of assists in top men`s basketball teams
No full textIn basketball, an assist is defined as a pass that leads directly to a teammate scoring. Most studies to date have only considered assists as a statistical variable. We decided to take a closer look at the structure of assists using a sample of the top 16 European national teams participating in the 2022 European Championship. We used Synergy Sports technology to collect the data. In a total of 16 matches, 192 players made 640 assists. The data showed that point guards made 40.5% of all assists, while tall players received the most. Additionally, 57.3% of assists were given from the area above the free throw line and 24.3% from the paint. Assists on the move or off the dribble outnumbered assists while standing. Only slightly more than half (53.8%) of the assists were made with both hands, while there were clear differences between air and bounce passes (80.6% compared to 19.4%). The direct involvement of a third player in scoring a basket after an assist was only 12.5%. Surprisingly, winning teams made on average only one more assist than losing teams, which is probably due to the great equality of the competing teams
Od rokopisa do zbranih del: kompozicija odstavkov pri Ivanu Cankarju
No full textCankarjev jezik je bil predmet preučevanja številnih kritikov, ki so njegova dela nemalokrat označevali za delno nerazumljiva. Menili so, da je zgradba Cankarjevih proznih besedil razbita, pomenska logika med zaporednimi stavki pa zakrita. Prispevek skuša osvetliti nekatere Cankarjeve skladenjske gradnike besedilnega sveta, predvsem kompozicijo odstavkov, in odgovoriti na vprašanje, zakaj Cankarjeva besedila na makroravni zahtevajo ohranitev izvirne oblikovanosti.The language of Ivan Cankar was the subject of study of a number of critics who often labelled his works as partially incomprehensible. Many believed that the structure of his prose texts was broken and the semantic logic between the successive phrases hidden. This article attempts to highlight some of the more prominent syntactic building blocks of Cankar\u27s textual world, the paragraph composition in particular, and to answer the question why at a macro level Cankar\u27s texts require the preservation of the original form
Seasonality in perovskite solar cells
No full textInsights are reported from a 4-year outdoor study in Berlin using encapsulated p–i–n perovskite solar cells with the structure ITO | 2PACz | Cs0.15FA0.85PbI2.55Br0.45 (bandgap of 1.65 eV) | C60 | SnO2 | Cu. Peak summer performance showed little to no degradation during the first two summers and only ≈2% absolute drop in outdoor power conversion efficiency from the first to fourth summer. Despite good stability, the devices exhibit significant seasonality, with winter performance up to 30% lower than in summer during the first year, increasing with aging. The factors contributing to this seasonality are separated into four categories: I) solar spectrum, II) device temperature, III) maximum power point tracking losses, and IV) metastability effects. Among these, metastability – particularly light-soaking behavior – is the largest contributing factor that sets perovskite technology apart from conventional photovoltaics. It was found that in cold, low-light winter conditions, voltage gains from light-soaking remain unsaturated, leading to reduced performance. Full saturation requires more than 24 h of continuous illumination, indicating that device performance depends on more than a single diurnal cycle. This comprehensive analysis highlights the complexity of seasonal behavior and the importance of long-term, real-world testing for accurate forecasting of perovskite photovoltaic energy yield
Influence of salt concentration on the electrochemical performance of magnesium hexafluoroisopropoxy aluminate electrolyte
No full textOne of the challenges in the development of Mg batteries is the lack of Mg electrolytes with good compatibility with both the Mg metal anode and cathode materials. In recent years, Mg salts based on weakly coordinating anions have emerged as promising Mg electrolytes. In this work, we systematically investigate the effects of salt concentration on the physicochemical properties, salt–solvent interactions, and electrochemical performance of the Mg[Al(hfip)]/G2 electrolyte. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy are used to study the changes in the electrolyte speciation across different concentrations, indicating a decreased amount of free glyme solvent with higher salt concentration. Mg plating/stripping of selected electrolytes is evaluated through three different testing protocols (conventional cycling, macrocycling, and cycling with added open-circuit voltage (OCV) rests) and compatibility with different cathode materials such as Chevrel phase, sulfur, and various organic redox-active compounds. In the electrochemical tests, more concentrated electrolytes demonstrated improved cathode cycling efficiency and more stable Mg plating/stripping, making an argument for Mg electrolytes with higher salt concentration. However, higher salt concentrations can increase the cost of Mg electrolytes. Further Mg electrolyte optimization should focus on adjusting electrolyte composition to specific electrode materials and other cell components, while maintaining a reasonable cost
Pacifizem v Mencijevi politični filozofiji
No full textThis paper reviews the prevalent interpretative approaches to Mengzi’s political philosophy in contemporary academia, including realism, just war theory, and just war pacifism, and proposes an alternative interpretative framework based on positive-pragmatic pacifism. The main contributions of this study are twofold: First, it introduces an often-overlooked perspective of positive pacifism, arguing that the classification of Mengzian political philosophy should focus not only on his stance on war, but also on the pacifist nature in his theory of benevolent governance. Second, it employs Olaf Müller’s pragmatic pacifism framework to interpret Mengzi’s stance on war, which aligns with the pacifist nature and pragmatic flexibility inherent in Mengzian political philosophy. The paper argues that the essence of Mengzian pacifism lies not in establishing unattainable criteria for just wars, but in his fundamental opposition to violence and his persistent pursuit of a peaceful order in real politics.Članek obravnava prevladujoče interpretativne pristope k Mencijevi politični filozofi-ji v sodobnih akademskih razpravah, vključno z realizmom, teorijo pravične vojne in pacifizmom pravične vojne, ter predlaga alternativni interpretativni okvir, utemeljen na pozitivno-pragmatičnem pacifizmu. Glavni doprinos pričujoče študije je dvojen. Prvič, uvaja pogosto prezrto perspektivo pozitivnega pacifizma in zagovarja, da se klasifikacija Mencijeve politične filozofije ne bi smela osredotočati zgolj na njegov odnos do vojne, temveč tudi na pacifistično naravo njegove teorije človečne vladavine. Drugič, ta študija uporabi okvir pragmatičnega pacifizma Olafa Müllerja za razlago Mencijevega odnosa do vojne, ki je v skladu s pacifistično naravo in pragmatično prilagodljivostjo, ki sta inherentni Mencijevi politični filozofiji. Članek izhaja iz predpostavke, po kateri bistvo Mencijevega pacifizma ni v postavljanju nedosegljivih meril za pravične vojne, temveč v njegovi temeljni zavrnitvi nasilja in v njegovem vztrajnem prizadevanju za takšno realno politiko, ki je osnovana na miroljubni urejenosti
Eduard von Hartmann, pesimizem in evropeizacija budizma
No full textEduard von Hartmann was one of the most influential public philosophers of his era, known primarily through his Philosophy of the Unconscious. A conservative nationalist in politics, he positioned himself as a cultural and religious reformer and modernist advocate of a “religion of the future” of self-redemption (autosoterism), one that reconciled pessimism and a panpneumatic impersonal unconscious with rationality and individual responsibility. This paper traces how Buddhism served as a primary albeit imperfect exemplar in his thought, how his ethical and symbolic interpretative strategy, based on the unconscious, drew him into proximity and conflict with esoteric spiritist discourses, and how this context informed his Daodejing interpretation. German Idealism disclosed the unity of reason, will, and nature, while Buddhist teachings demonstrated the world’s fundamentally contradictory and illusory character through nothingness (emptiness), nirvāṇa, and objective illusionism and phenomenalism. Hartmann’s secularized moral and symbolic adaptation of Buddhism entailed a resigned yet heroic embrace of suffering life rather than what he deemed ascetic and quietist acquiescence. His hermeneutics reveal his modernizing vision of Buddhism as an exemplary model (if suitably reformed to accentuate a heroic response to suffering and karma) for the future.Eduard von Hartmann je bil eden najvplivnejših javnih filozofov svojega časa, znan pred-vsem po svojem delu Filozofija nezavednega. Četudi je bil v političnem pogledu konserv-ativni nacionalist, se je predstavljal kot kulturni in verski reformator ter modernistični zagovornik »religije prihodnosti« in samoodrešitve (avtosoterizma), ki naj bi povezala pesimizem ter panpnevmatistično brezosebno nezavedno z racionalnostjo in individualno odgovornostjo. Prispevek sledi vlogi, ki jo je v njegovem mišljenju igral budizem kot glavni, četudi nikakor ne popoln vzor. Avtor prikaže, na kakšen način je bila Hartman-nova etična in simbolna strategija interpretacij utemeljena na pojmu nezavednega ter kako se je približevala ezoteričnim duhovnim diskurzom in se hkrati od njih oddaljevala. Pojasnjuje, kako je ta kontekst vplival na njegovo razlago Daodejinga. Nemški idealizem je razkril enotnost razuma, volje in narave, medtem ko so budistični nauki pokazali, da je svet v svojem bistvu protisloven in iluzoren, kar se izraža skozi nič (praznino), nirva-no ter objektivni iluzionizem in fenomenalizem. Hartmannova sekularizirana moralna in simbolna priredba budizma je pomenila resignirano, toda junaško sprejetje trpečega življenja namesto tistega, kar je sam imel za asketsko in kvietistično vdajo. Njegova hermenevtika razkriva modernizirano vizijo budizma. V tem okviru pokaže, da lahko budizem postane vzorčni model za prihodnost, če je le ustrezno reformiran, da poudari junaški odziv na trpljenje in karmo

Mating disruption as an effective method for controlling Lymantria dispar (L.)
No full textIn a three-year study, we investigated the efficacy of mating disruption (MD) on the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L. in a forest complex in Slovenia. We included two treatments in the experiment: a negative control and a MD-treated area, where we used an MD product formulated as a biodegradable gel (water based, biodegradable). We applied the gel to the trunks of the forest trees (33.3 g active ingredient/ha) once per season, specifically on 4th August 2022, 28th June 2023, and 24th June 2024. To evaluate the method’s performance, pheromone traps were utilized in both treatments. The data indicate consistent effectiveness throughout the three-year period, characterized by the minimal male captures observed in the MD treatment areas after the gel was applied. The first moths were captured in the traps at DD (Degree-Day) values ranging from 661.7 to 773.3 and continued to be captured up to DD values between 1576.1 and 1642.8. Following the application of the MD, the population in the MD treatment was reduced by 100% in the first year. In the second year, the reduction was 96.33%, while in the third year of the experiment, the number of captured moths in the MD treatment was 99.20% lower compared to the control. Considering the overall data, the method disrupted Lymantria dispar male orientation effectively. Moreover, we also feel that these results show the most promise for using this method in urban and suburban areas, where L. dispar larvae can cause allergies in humans and animals and where the use of insecticides is reduced
