1. The analysis of the effects of a fare free public transport travel demand based on e-ticketingDanijel Hojski, David Hazemali, Marjan Lep, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The traditional approach in public transport planning was to collect travel demand data for a more extended period and compose timetables to serve this demand. There are two significant identifiable issues. In the rural areas and off-peak hours, public transport operators provide much more capacities than needed. On the other hand, more capacities than scheduled are needed on certain lines at certain departures on some sporadically occurring occasions. The problem is how to react to short-term changes (daily) triggered by exceptional circumstances and events and midterm changes (weekly, monthly basis) in travel demand. We can trigger changes in travel demand chiefly by introducing a desirable (almost for free) tariff system applied to specific populations. No long-term travel response data exists for this kind of intervention, but an immediate response in public transport supply is needed. In Slovenia, public transport for free for the whole population over 65 years was introduced. With the modern ticketing system, which was designed to be as simple as possible for users (that means "check-in only" at the moment of boarding), the research task was to analyze the travel behavior of the retired population, faced with a new attractive option to travel, based on data of purchased tickets and their afterward validation, for better mid-and long-term planning. Our study finds that ITS technology (in this case, e-ticketing system) can satisfactorily solve the discussed planning and management task.

4. Slovenski Američani, Združene države Amerike in prva svetovna vojna : doktorska disertacijaDavid Hazemali, 2023, doctoral dissertation Abstract: Ta doktorska disertacija je vojnozgodovinsko-migracijska študija o vplivu prve svetovne vojne na slovensko-ameriško skupnost v ZDA kot celoto na eni strani ter na ameriški mesti Cleveland (Ohio) in Ely (Minnesota) in tamkajšnji slovensko-ameriški mestni skupnosti na drugi, s posebnim poudarkom na vojakih slovenskega porekla v ameriških oboroženih silah. Prva svetovna vojna je na ameriških tleh videla neupoštevanje državljanskih svoboščin s strani številnih ameriških vladnih organov in precejšnjega dela ameriške družbe, kar so na svoji koži občutile še zlasti priseljenske etnične skupnosti iz držav, s katerimi so bile ZDA v vojni, tudi slovensko-ameriška. Slovencem in posameznikom drugih priseljenskih etničnih skupnosti iz podonavske monarhije, ki še niso pridobili ameriškega državljanstva, je bila po ameriški vojni napovedi Avstro-Ogrski 7. decembra 1917 dodeljena oznaka sovražni tujci, kar je ključno vplivalo na njihovo doživljanje vojne na 'domači fronti'. Ameriško mesto Cleveland je bilo v času prve svetovne vojne za Trstom največje 'slovensko' mesto glede na število prebivalcev s slovenskim občevalnim oziroma maternim jezikom, medtem ko je bil Ely ameriško mesto z največjim deležem slovenskega prebivalstva po maternem jeziku glede na uradne ameriške statistike. Vse sfere družbenega delovanja v Clevelandu je v vojnih mesecih vodil Županov svetovalni vojni svet (ŽSVS), v Elyju pa Svet za obrambo (SO). Ti organi so z odbori in pododbori posegli v življenja ljudi in sčasoma je večina mestnega prebivalstva postala tako ali drugače udeleženka v ameriškem vojnem naporu. Ob ameriškem vstopu v prvo svetovno vojno je bil Louis (Alojzij) John Pirc s strani clevelandske mestne vojne uprave kot edini slovenski Američan imenovan v Generalni odbor ŽSVS. Ta podatek priča o spoštovanju, ki ga je Pirc moral biti deležen s strani takratnega mestnega političnega vrha, saj je bil ne le naturalizirani Američan, ki jih je bila v odboru zgolj peščica, ampak je povrh vsega prihajal iz države, s katero so ZDA takrat prekinile diplomatske stike, nekaj mesecev kasneje pa se tudi znašle v vojni. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so Clevelandčani in Elyjčani odhajali v ameriške oborožene sile skozi različne kanale, kar priča o do takrat nepredstavljivih razsežnostih in kompleksnosti nabora. Slovensko-ameriški skupnosti v Clevelandu in Elyju sta nabor doživljali različno. Vojaki slovenskega porekla so služili v različnih enotah ameriških oboroženih sil. Ameriške ekspedicijske sile (AES) so kljub svojim skromnim začetkom do srede leta 1918 postale močna kopenska sila. V njihovi sestavi se je bojeval tudi Frank (Franc) Lozar (Ložar), naturalizirani Američan slovenskega porekla iz Elyja. Zaradi svoje požrtvovalnosti na bojišču, kjer je pustil svoje življenje, je bil proglašen za vojnega heroja. Služenje vojaškega roka kakor tudi ukrepi ameriške vojne administracije so izdatno pospešili proces naturalizacije slovenskih priseljencev. AES so predstavljale sploh prvi pomembnejši prikaz vojaške moči ZDA v Evropi. Njihov prihod na 'staro celino' je po velikosti popolnoma zasenčil vse prejšnje vojaške operacije ZDA. Leta 1918 so se na zahodni fronti prve svetovne vojne v spopadu srečali vojaki slovenskega porekla, ki so služili v oboroženih silah podonavske monarhije na eni ter v ameriških ekspedicijskih silah na drugi strani. Ugotovljeni 'ognjeni' stik vojakov slovenskega porekla, Martina Viltužnika na eni ter Maksa Javorčana na drugi vojskujoči si strani, velja za prvi potrjen primer tovrstnega stika. Slovensko-ameriški bratski podporni organizaciji Slovenska narodna podporna jednota (SNPJ) in Kranjska slovenska katoliška jednota (KSKJ) sta v vojnih mesecih vzpostavili za svoje člane lastni vojno-zavarovalni politiki, ki sta obstajali vzporedno z ameriško zvezno vojno-zavarovalno zakonodajo.

5. The proud prime evil of Hell : characterization of Satan as the capital vice of pride in Milton's Paradise lostDavid Hazemali, Tomaž Onič, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: This paper looks into the characterisation of Satan as the Capital Vice of Pride in John Milton's Paradise Lost. It thus supports the findings of Robert Charles Fox, who in his study The Seven Deadly Sins in Paradise Lost first thoroughly analysed and comprehensively presented this issue and its importance in Milton's epic. The authors of the study share Fox's belief that Milton consciously used the system of the Seven Capital Vices in his epic as a structural device to present the entire scope of evil to the willing reader, and he achieved this by giving Satan and six other major denizens of Hell each the characteristics of a particular Vice. In other words, each of the seven major diabolical figures that appear in Paradise Lost embodies or personifies one of the Seven Capital Vices. As the most eloquent and characteristically perfected of the diabolical figures of Hell, Satan embodies Pride, the prime Capital Vice.

6. The Characterization of the Seven Capital Vices in Paradise LostDavid Hazemali, 2016, master's thesis Abstract: In his Paradise Lost, John Milton implemented the system of the Seven Capital Vices which was first established by Pope Gregory the Great around 590 CE and confirmed in the 13th century by St Thomas Aquinas. In essence, the system revolves around the soul, which, once having surrendered to Pride, progresses through a set sequence of other vices, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust, in that order. In these Vices, all possible actual sins have their roots. This system became a prominent feature in the works of some of the most influential writers of the past millennium.
Milton used this system as a structural device with which to present to the reader the entire scope of evil, in other words, to make him experience the Fall. According to Robert Charles Fox, the system appears three times in Paradise Lost. In Book II, Milton depicts it by giving Satan and six other major denizens of Hell the characteristics of a particular Vice, meaning each of the seven major diabolical figures that appear in Paradise Lost embodies or personifies one of the Seven Capital Vices.
As the most eloquent and characteristically perfected of the diabolical figures of Hell, Satan embodies Pride, the prime Capital Vice. In his Pride, he sparked the great rebellion in Heaven which ultimately became his downfall. He does not share his Vice with anyone; rather, he infuses others with Envy, the second of the Seven Capital Vices. The first victim to succumb to his treachery was his lieutenant Beëlzebub, who becomes his alter ego in the Infernal debate and the symbol of Envy. The three other speakers in the debate symbolize the next three Capital Vices: the fierce yet somewhat dumb Moloch symbolizes Wrath, the eloquent yet insidious Belial symbolizes Sloth, and Greed is symbolized by the prospector Mammon. The final two Capital Vices, Gluttony and Lust, which differ from the other five in that they affect the body, not the soul, are not symbolized, but allegorically personified by Death and Sin, respectively.

7. Slovenski vojaki na vzhodni fronti v prvi svetovni vojni: Od izbruha vojne do odprtja soške fronteDavid Hazemali, 2016, master's thesis Abstract: Avstro-Ogrska je dočakala prvo svetovno vojno povsem nepripravljena. Spretni madžarski politiki in popuščanje le-tem s strani avstrijskega cesarja in madžarskega kralja Franca Jožefa sta bila faktorja, ki sta močno vplivala na to, da so avstro-ogrske oborožene sile, razdeljene na skupno vojsko, avstrijsko in madžarsko domobranstvo, postale številčno, predvsem pa tehnološko zaostale tistim iz drugih velesil takratnega sveta. Ko so vidovdanski streli v Sarajevu kulminirali v vzročno-posledičnih vojnih napovedih obeh formiranih se taborov, so se tudi nad slovenske domove zgrnili črni oblaki. Okrog 30.000 slovenskih vojakov je bilo skupaj s sto tisočimi vojaki drugih narodov dualistične monarhije poslanih v Galicijo, kjer jih je pričakala daleč številčnejša vojska ruskega imperija. V manj kot dveh mesecih od izbruha vojne je Avstro-Ogrska izgubila Galicijo in utrpela več kot sto tisoč mrtvih vojakov. Na teh bojiščih na vzhodni fronti, ki niso v prvih mesecih vojne v ničemer spominjala na tista iz drugih front, je padlo tudi na tisoče Slovencev. Krivdo za tak razplet gre pripisati avstro-ogrskemu generalštabu, ki ga je v tistem času poosebljal njegov načelnik Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, ki je popolnoma podcenil udarno moč takrat sodobnega topništva in dajal primat pehoti in boju mož na moža. Tej katastrofi je v zimi 1914 – 1915 sledila še hujša, znana kot Karpatenwinter. Če je v bojih za Galicijo Conrad von Hötzendorf izgubil srce avstro-ogrske vojske, je v zimskih spopadih v Karpatih izgubil še tisto, kar je od vojske ostalo, skupaj s celo generacijo neutrjenih in neizšolanih rezervistov. Med pehotnimi polki, ki so utrpeli največje izgube, so bili tudi 'slovenski'. S padcem utrdbenega mesta Przemyśl 22. marca leta 1915 je bil poraz Avstro-Ogrske popoln in zgolj posredovanje Nemčije je dualistično monarhijo obvarovalo pred dokončno dezintegracijo. O tej moriji, ki velja za eno najmanj raziskanih aspektov prve svetovne vojne, smo nekaj ključnih fragmentov dobili iz ohranjene pisne zapuščine slovenskih vojakov, ki so jo doživeli.
