1. Digital signal processing tools for radar-based human-computer interactionNuwan Attygalle, Matjaž Kljun, Klen Čopič Pucihar, 2026, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: In recent years, miniature radar-on-chip sensors have been explored for HCI by both academia and industry. This is driven by the availability of affordable radar hardware and advances in signal processing and machine learning. However, comparative evaluation of radar-based gesture interaction systems is challanging and rear. One important dimension for comparison is the set of radar signal representa- tions derived from raw voltage data. These representations commonly include range- Doppler, range-azimuth-angle, range-elevation-angle, point cloud and In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) radar cube formats. However, existing studies often restrict com- parative analysis to a single signal representation type, typically focusing on gesture recognition algorithms or minor variations within Digital Signal Processing (DSP) pipelines. To promote comparative evaluation of radar signal representations, this chapter develops an open-source application designed to facilitate efficient and reli- able dataset preparation of various radar signal representations. The application sup- ports visualisation of generated signal representations and includes a command-line interface for batch processing, thereby streamlining the dataset preparation workflow.

2. Can immersion protect us from distraction? : The impact of real-world distractions on learning in augmented realityKlen Čopič Pucihar, Karolina Trajkovska, Anuradhi Maheshya W. Weerasinghe Arachchillage, Ali Waqas, Douglas A. Parry, Daniel B. Le Roux, Matjaž Kljun, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: While many digital distractions can be managed, real-world interruptions, such as phone calls, notifications, and office noise, are harder to control and can harm productivity, well-being, and learning. Mixed reality systems like Augmented Reality (AR) are often described as immersive—a property which might protect users from such disruptions. We tested this assumption by comparing a head-mounted AR interface that overlays digital annotations on physical objects with a traditional flat screen during vocabulary learning under common office distractions. In a user study (n = 32), AR users reported feeling less distracted and recalled less task-irrelevant information, but their learning performance did not improve. Instead, distraction-related performance decline was greater in AR. Physiological and self-report measures showed no reduction in effort or workload, and participants with higher auditory distractibility did not benefit. Overall, AR annotation alone may not sufficiently shield learners from real-world distractions, motivating new design approaches.

3. Species–park networks reflect the spatial structure of urban green infrastructureEdy Fantinato, Elisabetta Zendri, Rosario Rummo, Federico Fiorin, Peter Glasnović, Giovanna Aronne, Andrea Della Bella, Marino Simone Preo, Gabriella Buffa, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: As cities expand, natural and semi-natural habitats are increasingly restricted in extent and connectivity, posing major challenges for biodiversity conservation. Urban parks, as nodes of green infrastructure, improve ecological connectivity in the urban landscape, yet their functional role in supporting urban plant communities remains challenging to quantify. This study aimed to investigate whether differences in the functional role of urban parks are reflected by their spatial location within the green infrastructure. We applied a bipartite species-park network approach to assess the role of urban parks in supporting plant species in three historic cities in north-eastern Italy. In 2024, we surveyed 57 parks, recorded vascular plant species in nested plots and measured park attributes including area, distance to the city centre, distance to other parks and tree canopy cover. Species–park networks were used to quantify the functional role of each park through park specialisation, importance, compositional representativeness, and colonisation potential. Statistical models showed that parks further from the city centre supported richer plant communities and hosted species more dependent on individual parks, while parks at intermediate distances from the centre acted as compositional links between parks closer and further from the city centre. Parks with greater tree canopy cover tended to host species that achieved comparatively higher local cover but showed reduced compositional representativeness to other parks. Our results revealed that the functional role of parks in supporting plant communities was strongly associated with their spatial location within the green infrastructure, providing insights for urban biodiversity conservation and landscape planning.

4. Conspiracy beliefs in post-communist Europe : the role of religiosity, political ideology, and media trust among unvaccinated individualsKatarzyna Bałandynowicz-Panfil, Malgorzata Łosiewicz, Ana Slavec, Janez Štebe, Șerban Olah, Győző Pék, Adrienn Kaszás-Nagy, Mojca Šoštarič, Magdalena Iwanowska, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This study explores the sociocultural and psycho ‑ logical determinants of conspiracy theory beliefs (CTBs) among unvaccinated individuals in three post-communist countries: Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. The goal is to understand how religiosity, political orientation, media trust, and fear of COVID-19 shape conspiratorial thinking in societies with legacies of institutional distrust and ideological polarization. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The central research problem concerns the contextual drivers of CTBs in post-communist Eu ‑ rope, where transitional experiences challenge universal explanatory models. The study draws on data from an online survey of 1,641 unvaccinated individuals collected in 2021. Key constructs-including conspiracy beliefs, trust in institutions and media, religiosity, and political orientation-were measured using validated scales and analyzed through multiple regression models. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The argument integrates histori ‑ cal and structural factors with individual-level predictors of CTBs. It distinguishes between private religiosity and religious practice, analyzes media trust in frag ‑ mented information environments, and contextualizes political ideology within the region’s post-authoritarian trajectories. The analysis emphasizes how fear, belief, and epistemic orientation intersect in shaping vaccine-related conspiracies. RESEARCH RESULTS: Findings indicate that higher private religiosity, left-wing political orientation, low fear of COVID-19, and reliance on digital or informal information sources are positively associated with CTBs. In contrast, trust in traditional media, trust in medical professionals, and participation in organized religious practices predict lower endorsement of conspiracies. Slovenia and Poland show the highest CTB levels. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: CTBs in post-communist societies reflect both historical legacies and current epistemic vulnerabilities. Addressing them requires context-sensitive strategies that rebuild institutional trust, support civic engagement, and recognize the social functions of structured belief systems. The study contributes to a better understanding of misinformation dynamics in transitional democracies.
