    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    V Sloveniji primanjkuje gradiva za učenje govornih modelov, kar predstavlja oviro za nadaljnji razvoj tega področja. Rešitev predstavlja razvoj orodja za avtomatizirano iskanje zvočnega gradiva. Diplomsko delo obravnava izbiro orodja Scrapy za spletno pajkanje, napisanega v Pythonu in njegov razvoj. Spletni pajek je program ali programska skripta, ki avtomatizirano brska po spletu in vsebino shranjuje. Cilj našega pajka je iskanje avdio in video virov v slovenskem jeziku. Pri razvoju smo poudarek dali tudi na skladnost z zakonodajo in etičnimi smernicami. Poleg tega smo se poglobili v razvoj skripte za iskanje transkripcij posnetkov. Raziskovanje temelji na deskriptivni metodi za predstavitev že obstoječih orodij za spletno pajkanje. Uporabljen je pregled pravnih aktov. Osredotočili smo se na Zakon o avtorskih in sorodnih pravicah ter Splošno uredbo o varstvu podatkov. Preučena je bila literatura o etičnih smernicah pajkanja, načinih vključevanja avdio in video vsebin na spletnih straneh ter načinih iskanja podobnosti med besedili. Rezultati končnega testiranja so pokazali, da lahko spletni pajek uspešno pridobiva večje količine avdio in video virov. Od tega je 63,6 % posnetkov bilo v razločnem slovenskem govoru. Povzamemo lahko, da tudi skripta za iskanje transkripcij uspešno deluje. 16 posnetkom je bila najdena transkripcija s stopnjo podobnosti večjo od 0,9. Dokazali smo, da je z uporabo spletnih pajkov možno avtomatizirati pridobivanje zvočnih posnetkov. Diplomsko delo prispeva k napredku na področju slovenskih govornih tehnologij, saj nakaže kako na hitrejši in enostavnejši način nabrati velike količine zvočnega gradiva. Prav tako navede pogoje, kako to narediti zakonito in na prijazen način do spletnih strežnikov.In Slovenia, there is a shortage of learning material for training speech models, which poses a barrier to the further development of this field. The solution lies in the development of a tool for the automated retrieval of audio material. This thesis discusses the selection of the Scrapy tool for web crawling, written in Python, and its development. A web crawler is a program or script that automatically browses the web and stores its content. The goal of our crawler is to search for audio and video resources in the Slovenian language. During development, we also focused on compliance with legal and ethical guidelines. Additionally, we delved into the development of a script for searching for transcriptions of recordings. The research is based on the descriptive method to present existing tools for web crawling. A review of legal acts was conducted, focusing on the Copyright and Related Rights Act and the General Data Protection Regulation. We also examined literature on ethical guidelines for web crawling, methods of embedding audio and video content on web pages and methods of finding similarities between texts. The results of the final testing showed that the web crawler can successfully retrieve large quantities of audio and video resources. Of these, 63,6 % of the recordings were in distinct Slovenian speech. We can conclude that the script for searching for transcriptions also works successfully. Transcriptions with a similarity score greater than 0,9 were found for 16 recordings. We have demonstrated that using web crawlers can automate the retrieval of audio recordings. This thesis contributes to the advancement of Slovenian speech technologies, as it indicates how to collect large quantities of audio material more quickly and easily. It also outlines the conditions for doing so legally and in a server friendly manner

    Ta naloga raziskuje načrtovanje, oblikovanje, razvoj in implementacijo spletnega sistema za ustvarjanje zvočnih knjig. Spletna aplikacija omogoča uporabnikom nalaganje besedilnih datotek (specifično dokumentov Microsoft Word), samodejno ekstrakcijo besedila iz naložene datoteke ter preoblikovanje besedila v razčlenjene stavke. Vsak stavek se nato lahko pretvori v avdio format z uporabo integriranega sistema za pretvorbo besedila v govor (TTS). Tehnologije in orodja, ki smo jih uporabili za razvoj spletne aplikacije vključujejo Node.js, JavaScript, MongoDB, Express.js, TTS API, Multer ipd. Projekt si prizadeva poenostaviti ustvarjanje zvočnih knjig z avtomatizacijo postopka pretvorbe in zagotavljanjem prilagodljivosti za uporabnike pri urejanju besedila, izbiri glasov in nadzoru nastavitev, kot so poudarjanje, tempo in normalizacija zvoka. Glavni cilj naloge je ustvariti ustrezno slovensko različico za aplikacije za ustvarjanje zvočnih knjig. Od že obstoječih rešitev, se bo naša aplikacija razlikovala v možnosti shranjevanja različnih verzij stavkov in možnosti izbiranja med njimi.This project explores the planning, design, development, and implementation of a web-based system for creating audiobooks. The web application allows users to upload text files (specifically Microsoft Word documents), automatically extract text from the uploaded file, and transform the text into parsed sentences. Each sentence can then be converted into an audio format using an integrated text-to-speech (TTS) system. The technologies and tools used for developing the web application include Node.js, JavaScript, MongoDB, Express.js, TTS API, Multer, and others. The project aims to simplify the audiobook creation process by automating the conversion process and providing users with flexibility in editing text, selecting voices, and controlling settings such as emphasis, tempo, and audio normalization. The primary goal of this project is to develop a suitable Slovenian version of audiobook creation applications. Compared to existing solutions, our application will stand out by offering the ability to store different versions of sentences and allowing users to choose between them

    Ljudje že stoletja ogrevamo svoja bivališča na najrazličnejše načine. Sodobnejši in človeku prijaznejši načini so na voljo le s pritiskom na gumb in nastavitvijo željene temparature. Večkrat se bivališča grejejo tudi, ko nas ni doma in na temperature, ki nam ne predstavljajo ugodnega počutja. V magistrskem delu predstavljamo nadgradnjo obstoječega sistema toplotne črpalke, ki spremlja naše gibanje tudi izven naših bivališč, izklaplja naše toplotne sisteme, ko zazna, da bomo odsotni dlje časa in ogreje bivališče na nam ugodno temparaturo točno ob prihodu domov. Tako nam o predhodnih ročnih regulacijah ni potrebno popolnoma nič razmišljati. Poleg tega ohranimo precej nepotrebno potrošene energije in s tem posredno varujemo okolje. Ogrevalni sistem smo nadgradili z avtomatiziranim sistemom, ki je povezan z GPS sistemom mobilne naprave in omogoča strojno učenje glede na predhodne situacije. Rezultati analize delovanja novega sistema so pri povprečnih dnevnih zunanjih temperaturah med 7 in 9 stopinj Celzija pokazali tudi več kot 40 % prihrankov električne energije.For centuries, people have been using different types of heating systems. Modern and user-friendly systems are regulated just by pressing a button and setting the right temperature. Our homes can be heated when we are away and often reach unpleasant temperatures. In our master thesis, we presented an upgrade of the existing heat pump system that tracks our movement even when we are away from home. It recognises when we will be away for a longer period of time, switches off our heating as needed, and sets the right temperature at the exact time of our return. That means we do not have to worry about manual controls. In addition, we are protecting the environment and saving energy. The heating system has been upgraded with an automatic system that is connected to a mobile device through GPS and enables machine learning based on past behaviour. Analyses showed that using the new heating system at average outdoor temperatures between 7 and 9 degrees Celsius can reduce energy consumption for more than 40 %
