1. Women are as fickle as April weather – are they really? : cross-cultural analysis of Anglo-American and Slovenian proverbs featuring the word womanMelita Lemut Bajec, Klara Šumenjak, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: This study represents the first cross-linguistic comparison of Anglo-American and Slovenian proverbs featuring the word woman. First, dictionary definitions were analysed to assess portrayals of women and their societal roles in the selected reference works. Next, a bilingual corpus featuring the word woman was compiled, with 211 Anglo-American and 72 Slovenian proverbs to investigate the extent of shared proverbial culture. Lastly, a selection of seven equivalent proverbs in both languages was compiled to explore the cultural elements embedded in these proverbs. The study found that Anglo-American dictionary entries are more inclusive than Slovenian ones, which largely reinforce patriarchal values. The research also revealed a rich shared proverbial tradition. While the analysis of cross-linguistically equivalent proverbs did not uncover many culturally specific elements, it highlighted the universality of human thought and the pervasive influence of patriarchal values, portraying women as subordinate, emotionally unstable, and morally questionable. Nonetheless, the research also identified proverbs that acknowledge women’s strength and independence. Lastly, the study emphasises that proverb translation cannot be reduced to a purely lexical process but involves varying degrees of adaptation to convey culturally embedded meanings.
Keywords: proverbs, woman, Anglo-American proverbs, Slovenian proverbs, dictionary definitions, shared proverbial tradition, translation studies

2. Translation of Situation Awareness Rating Technique Questionnaire in SlovenianKristina Stojmenova Pečečnik, Grega Jakus, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The Situational Awareness Rating Technique (SART) is a questionnaire designed to assess situational awareness when operating a machine. It consists of ten questions corresponding to ten dimensions that can be used to assess an operatorǯs situational awareness when interacting with and operating a machine. Although initially developed for assessment situational awareness of pilots, with the rising complexity of vehicles and introduction of automation, its use has spread significantly in automotive domain in the past decade. In this paper, we present the Slovenian version of the original questionnaire and the process of its development. For the translation of the questionnaire SART into Slovenian, the standard procedures for the translation of research instruments were applied: translation, coordination, back-translation into the source language, comparison of the back-translation with the source text and final coordination. Lastly, it was validated against a reference system in a driving-based environment.
