5. Veliki požar 2022 : pogledi in stališča glede pogozdovanja pogorele kraške krajineMartina Tonet, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Članek predstavlja mnenja, poglede in stališča prebivalcev in strokovnih delavcev glede pogozdovanja Krasa po velikem požaru leta 2022, zaradi katerega je pogorel velik del kra-ške krajine na slovenski in italijanski strani meje. Požar je postal izhodiščna točka raziskave, ki se je odvijala od avgusta do decembra 2023 na Univerzi na Primorskem, Fakulteti za humanistične študije (UP–FHŠ), v sklopu raziskovalnega programa Življenjski prostori Slovenije: preteklost – sedanjost – prihodnost (ŽIVS). Glavno raziskovalno vprašanje, do katerega se članek opredeljuje, je: Ali je pogozdovanje Krasa po požarih nujno? Odgovor na dilemo je podan na osnovi analize zgodovinske literature in etnografske terenske razi-skave, ki upošteva poznavanje, ki ga ima kraško prebivalstvo o podobi in funkcijah kulturne krajine Krasa v preteklosti. Iz raziskave izhaja, da sta opuščanje kmetovanja ter nasploh pomanjkanje skrbi za urejanje in ohranjanje krajine pomemben razlog , da se je požar leta 2022 hitro razširil na obsežen predel Krasa. Kot so sogovorniki večkrat poudarili, je danes kraška krajina pretežno »zapuščena«, »zaraščena« in »zanemarjena«.

7. Evaluating the effects of managed free-roaming cat populations on prey through stable isotope analysis : a pilot study from British Columbia, CanadaValentina Martinoia, Renee Ferguson, Peter J. Wolf, Mario Carić, Mario Novak, Shelly Roche, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus) present a major management challenge for animal welfare and biodiversity conservation. Trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs, which include sterilization and return of cats, are increasingly adopted to manage cat populations, often alongside routine food provisioning. However, their effectiveness in reducing cats’ reliance on wild prey remains contested. In this study, we use stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N, δ34S) of cat fur to investigate dietary patterns before and after TNR implementation in the context of concurrent changes in food availability linked to the closure of nearby mink-farming operations. We analyzed samples from 122 cats in a large-scale TNR initiative on a rural property in British Columbia, Canada. These included indoor cats (control), free-roaming cats prior to TNR (Group 1), a subset of Group 1 re-sampled months after food provisioning began (Run 2), and newly sampled cats that had been fed regularly before trapping (Group 2). Local prey and food sources were also analyzed to provide a comparative isotopic baseline. Our results show clear dietary shifts following TNR. Group 1 cats exhibited high isotopic variability and elevated δ15N and δ34S values, consistent with wild prey consumption. In contrast, post-TNR cats showed significantly lower and more homogeneous values, aligning closely with those of indoor, kibble-fed cats. These changes are consistent with a reduced dietary reliance on wildlife and raw mink feed following the combination of TNR with regular provisioning and the cessation of mink operations. These findings demonstrate that regular food provisioning in TNR-managed colonies, particularly when combined with broader environmental changes, can significantly alter cat diets and potentially reduce their dependence on wild prey.

9. Multidisciplinary study of human remains from the 3rd century mass grave in the Roman city of Mursa, CroatiaMario Novak, Orhan Efe Efe Yavuz, Mario Carić, Slavica Filipović, Cosimo Posth, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: During excavations in 2011, a peculiar archaeological feature representing a mass grave with seven completely preserved skeletons was discovered at the site of the Roman period city of Mursa (modern-day Osijek, Croatia). The archaeological context and direct radiocarbon dating indicate that the bodies were interred during the mid-3rd century CE. Bioarchaeological analysis shows that all seven individuals are adult males exhibiting numerous pathological lesions (e.g., enthesopathies, injuries). Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes analysis indicates they had a mixed C3/C4-based vegetal diet with limited amounts of terrestrial animal protein and a very limited marine protein consumption. Ancient DNA analysis shows that individuals from the Mursa mass grave had a heterogenous ancestry. None of them show genetic continuity with the preceding local Early Iron Age population. The presented multidisciplinary analyses of the Mursa mass grave strongly suggest that the studied individuals were Roman soldiers, victims of a catastrophic event occurring as the result of the ‘Crisis of the Third Century’, most probably the battle of Mursa from 260 CE.

10. Socialist entrepreneurship and integrated peasant economy : failed collectivization in Yugoslavia (1949–1953)Lev Centrih, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: This article explores the specific features of collectivization in socialist Yugoslavia, focusing on Slovenia as one of its constituent republics. Through a bottom-up approach, it examines selected cases from the countryside surrounding the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, between 1949 and 1953. Unlike the Soviet and broader Eastern European cases, the Slovene/Yugoslav regime stemmed from both a socialist revolution and the National Liberation War. Alongside coercion, it used pragmatic strategies to win over the peasantry—allowing wealthier peasants to join labour cooperatives and promoting ‘entrepreneurship’, a value rooted in capital- ism, as a socialist principle. While aiming to preserve the industriousness of petty commodity production, the authorities sought to achieve this within a new environment: no longer in private enterprises, but in state or collective (cooperative) ones, protected from the destructive consequences of capitalism. Drawing on case studies, the article demonstrates that collectivization failed: Support from revolutionary activists proved insufficient, peasants rejected the proposed entrepreneurial model, and they con- tinued to pursue individualistic family farming. It explains the persistence of traditional agriculture through the concept of the integrated peasant economy, in dialogue with theories of pluriactivity and petty commodity production.
