11. Tihotapstvo Istrank v 20. stoletju v kontekstu njihovih življenjskih zgodbVida Rožac-Darovec, 2006, original scientific article Abstract: For Istrian women, smuggling was before, during and after the Second World War an established practice of survival, dictated on the one hand by social distress and on the other by the near-frontier position, which has through the course of history often generated smuggling operations. We should also stress the influence of Trieste, which thanks to the many possibilities for development of secondary activities that it offered bound the neighbouring population to it with very strong ties. And when Trieste offered no sales possibilities, Istrians resorted to illegal activities, if necessary, to secure extra income. The method that proved suitable for studying this problem is that of questioning, considering that such activities are not recorded in written sources. This way we were able to understand the causes, forms and strategies of a phenomenon that would otherwise have been lost to history. The financial contribution made by female smugglers also affected their mentalities-they were not helpless beings in need of protection, but rather self-assured, independent and brave women. Two examples, our informants Emilija and Jolanda, despite having been spared no blows by fate still profess a great deal of contentedness with their lives. Although the women's important contribution to the household budget undoubtedly influenced their position within the family, it would be illusory to speak of parity, as the tradition of the male-centred society, repeatedly generated by the Church, was strongly anchored in the mentality of the people of that period. The position of the Istrian women was therefore ambivalent. While their roles may not have been visible in public, the women had a strong and important role inside the family.

13. Melchiorre Gioia e il diritto penale : prime noteGian Paolo Massetto, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: The paper aims to present the premises concerning penal law provided by a series of relatively short writings published by Melchiorre Gioia at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, as well as by some of his interlocutors, with whom the author from Piacenza engaged in harsh debates. Given their nature, these writings have already been a subject of research interest in the fields of statistics, and political and economic history; however, being rich with significant reflections, evaluations, and observations concerning penal law, they also stir the interest and curiosity of legal historians

16. Implementing, writing and thinking palaeolithic archaeology in SloveniaBoris Kavur, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: Slovene Palaeolithic archaeology has all the elements of a successful nationalistic story; it has a clear and uncontested, even heroic beginning, represented by S. Brodar's discovery of the bones in Potočka zijalka. Therewith, or to be exact, with the start of his excavations, began the national scientific research of the Palaeolithic period in Slovenia. The institutional foundations were laid in the first years after World War II, when several pioneers of Slovene archaeology joined forces and established the research infrastructure still in operation today. Archaeology and Palaeolithic archaeology were to become antagonists, since one became affiliated with the humanities and the other with natural sciences. Observing the activities of the first three decades after 1945, we can see that researchers excavated test trenches in many caves and rock shelters in their attempts to discover new Palaeolithic sites, and in many of them they came across finds from later archaeological periods. Unfortunately, subsequent reports of these excavations only dealt with the Palaeolithic finds, a sad fact and probably a reflection of a conceptual divide in archaeology. Since the 1980s the situation changed due to a conceptual transformation reaching its peak with the discovery of the Divje babe I bone artefact, changing the international position of Slovene archaeology

19. Mediterranei e mitteleuropei : contributo allo studio dell'idea di benessere commerciale a Trieste nell'ultima età asburgicaGiulio Mellinato, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: In the 1860s in Trieste, the imminent opening of the Suez Canal created the conditions for reflection upon the possible advantages of the transformation of the Mediterranean Sea from a closed basin into a transit sea and what this transformation could bring to the local economy. In general, two perspectives emerged among the local intellectual elite: one that was substantially conservative and "legitimist" and tied to the valorisation of institutional continuity based on the Habsburg nexus, advocated by Pietro Kandler. The second view, more progressivist and "Mediterranean", advocated by Pasquale Revoltella, aimed at taking advantage of all the liberties of movement and autonomies enjoyed by the Triestine commercial class. Since then, the dichotomy between the "continental" and "Mediterranean" visions of the path that commerce in Trieste should undertake has become recurrent in reflections of the economy and politics in the town, hiding much more concrete interests and aspirations interwoven in the town's intricate social tissue

20. Koprska fizika 19. stoletjaStanislav Južnič, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: The development of the physics teaching in Capodistran secondary school between Giuseppe Tartini and late 19th century brought those day experimental tools and books closer to our knowledge with a testimony of the high level education of those days. We had to concentrate on Vlacovich's accomplishment as he was the most important Capodistran professor of 19th century. He stood on the shoulders of his predecessors when he published his works in most important journals of his era. Our research also had something to say about his work in Trieste. The instruments bought for cabinet in Capodistrian Grammar School were certainly on European level during the second half of 19th. Therefore we compared them with similar equipment used in Grammar Schools of Klagenfurt, Novo Mesto, and Ljubljana. In this kind of research we had a lucky hand because we were able to double-check all data with yearly Grammar School Programs and yearly inventories. We mostly used the inventories of Ljubljana and Capodistrian Grammar School which makes this work one of the first of its kind founded on reliable sources. The Programs also contained the data of the cabinets' incomes. Those days school directors also liked to provide the listings of professors. They sometimes also noted their textbooks or rough sketch of teaching plans. We examined the old books from the times of Padres Scholarum Piarum which are still kept in the library of Italian Grammar School Gian Rinaldo Carli. Their bulk testimonies about the interests of those days professors and their students because so far ago the acquisition of the instruments was far from standardized and the professors personally decided what they need for education and also for research, which is not the case of modern Secondary Schools with no research involved. The Padres Scholarum Piarum with their pedagogical dedication were deeply involved in the Coastland everyday life after they somewhat became the competitors of the Jesuit order and even their replacement after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. On this occasion we provide one of the very first serious analyzes of the Padres Scholarum Piarum accomplishment also in comparison with their contemporary Jesuits' competitors
