1. Slovenian EFL-students' familiarity with the English sentence structure and their ability to identify its element : master's thesisJan Dukarič, 2025, magistrsko delo Opis: This master’s thesis explores the expanding discrepancy and subsequent outcomes between prevailing pedagogical approaches and the realities of conventional assessment practices, where a fundamental understanding of a syntactic organisation is a prerequisite for engagement. Thus, the thesis aims to examine Slovene EFL primary school students’ familiarity with the English sentence structure and its elements guided by the assumptions addressing the syntactic influence of students’ L1, their limited syntactic competence, and their explicit awareness of English sentence structure and its constituent parts. Adopting a mixed methods research design and grounded in a comprehensive theoretical framework, the empirical study involved of 75 participants aged between 11 and 14 years (±1 year), which were in turn tasked with completing a grammar awareness task, language function task, word order task, and a sentence structure in translation task. The findings ultimately indicate students’ shortcomings in the identification of core sentence elements, the emergence of explicit syntactic knowledge, and a salient reliance on Slovene syntactic frameworks.

2. Mixed-ligand copper(ii) complexes derived from pyridinecarbonitrile precursors : structural features and thermal behaviorAmalija Golobič, Matjaž Kristl, Tinkara Marija Podnar, Zvonko Jagličić, Brina Dojer, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Pyridinecarbonitriles (pyCN), also referred to as cyanopyridines, are promising ligands for the formation of pyridine-based coordination compounds due to their two different N-donor atoms, which enable versatile coordination modes. Copper(II) complexes containing pyCN derivatives are of particular interest for their potential applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science. In this study, the synthesis, structural characterization, and thermal and magnetic properties of three new copper(II) complexes with 3-pyCN, 4-pyCN, and ethyl picolinimidate, obtained in situ by means of alcoholysis of 2-pyCN, are reported: [Cu2(μ-Ac)4(3-pyCN)2] (1), [Cu(H2O)2(Etpic)2]NO3 (2), and [Cu(NO3)2(CH3CN)(4-pyCN)2]·CH3CN (3). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed that complex 1 features a dinuclear paddle-wheel structure with bridging acetato ligands and monodentate 3-pyCN molecules, coordinated through the ring nitrogen, while complexes 2 and 3 are mononuclear. Thermal analysis showed an intense and highly exothermic decomposition of complex 3, containing nitrate ligands. Magnetic measurements revealed strong antiferromagnetic coupling in the dinuclear complex 1, whereas complexes 2 and 3 displayed paramagnetic behavior with effective magnetic moments ranging from 1.8 μB to 2.0 μB, consistent with isolated Cu(II) centers.

3. On the Wiener-like root-indices of graphsSimon Brezovnik, Matthias Dehmer, Niko Tratnik, Petra Žigert Pleteršek, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper, we examine roots of graph polynomials where those roots can be considered as structural graph measures. More precisely, we prove analytical results for the roots of certain modified graph polynomials and also discuss numerical results. As polynomials, we use, e.g., the Hosoya, the Schultz, and the Gutman polynomial which belong to an interesting family of degree-distance-based graph polynomials; they constitute so-called counting polynomials with non-negative integers as coefficients and the roots of their modified versions have been used to characterize the topology of graphs. Our results can be applied for the quantitative characterization of graphs. Besides analytical results on bounds and convergence, we also investigate other properties of those measures such as their degeneracy which is an undesired aspect of graph measures. It turns out that the measures representing roots of graph polynomials possess high discrimination power on exhaustively generated trees, which outperforms standard versions of these indices. Furthermore, a new measure is introduced that allows us to compare different topological indices in terms of structure sensitivity and abruptness.

4. Quasi-static and impact behaviour of polymer-metal interpenetrating phase TPMS compositesNejc Novak, Oraib Al-Ketan, Anja Mauko, Lovre Krstulović-Opara, Shigeru Tanaka, Matej Borovinšek, Boštjan Vihar, Uroš Maver, Kazuyuki Hokamoto, Matej Vesenjak, Zoran Ren, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Interpenetrating phase composites (IPC) are materials with two or more mutually continuous, interconnected phases. This structure allows each phase to retain its properties, while together they exhibit enhanced synergistic properties. In this work, polymer-metal IPCs with Triply Periodical Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures were fabricated and tested for their mechanical properties at different impact velocities (ranging from 0.1 mm/s to 250 m/s). Samples. The samples comprise a stainless steel reinforcement phase and two polymeric matrices (silicone and epoxy). Computed tomography was used to evaluate the internal structure and the fabrication quality. The results showed that the samples were thoroughly infiltrated with polymeric filler, achieving a high degree of homogeneity in the composite. The compression tests of silicone-filled IPCs showed an increase in stiffness. Still, the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) was not improved due to the non-optimal stiffness ratio between the polymeric matrix and the metallic reinforcement phase. However, using epoxy as the matrix resulted in the SEA enhancement of 38 %. This is attributed to the interlocking mechanism between the two phases, which improved the macroscopic mechanical properties. The compression tests showed significant strain rate hardening due to the base material’s strain rate sensitivity and the inertia effects.

5. Emulsion templated porous poly(thiol-enes): influence of photopolymerisation, emulsion composition, and phase behaviour on the porous structure and morphologyViola Hobiger, Muzafera Paljevac, Peter Krajnc, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) or divinyl adipate (DVA) and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-
mercaptopropionate) (TT) were polymerised via a thiol-ene radical initiated photopolymerisation
using emulsions with a high volume fraction of internal droplet phase and monomers in the continuous phase as precursors. The porous structure derived from the high internal phase emulsions
(HIPEs) followed the precursor emulsion setup resulting in an open porous cellularly structured
polymer. Changing the emulsion composition and polymerisation conditions influenced the resulting
morphological structure significantly. The investigated factors influencing the polymer monolith
morphology were the emulsion phase ratio and surfactant concentration, leading to either interconnected cellular type morphology, bicontinuous porous morphology or a hollow sphere inverted
structure of the polymerised monoliths. The samples with interconnected cellular morphology had
pore diameters between 4 µm and 10 µm with approx. 1 µm sized interconnecting channels while
samples with bicontinuous morphology featured approx. 5 µm wide pores between the polymer
domains. The appropriate choice of emulsion composition enabled the preparation of highly porous
poly(thiol-enes) with either polyHIPE or bicontinuous morphology. The porosities of the prepared
samples followed the emulsion droplet phase share and could reach up to 88%. Ključne besede: high internal phase emulsions, thiol-ene polymerisation, polyHIPE, bicontinuous structure, phase inversion, poly(thiol-enes) Objavljeno v DKUM: 13.05.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 10

6. Comparison of Slovenian traditional plum materials with genetic resources from the Slovenian plant genetic bankTina Ternjak, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The Slovenian Plant Gene Bank (SPGB) of the Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences houses approximately 250 accessions of stone fruit, with most of the material belonging to the species Prunus domestica L. and Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. The main objectives of this study using a set of 11 SSR primers were: 1. to determine the genetic structure of the traditional Slovenian in situ plum material in comparison to the ex situ the SPGB collection; 2. to identify unique material among the in situ collected accessions; 3. to gain insight into the genetic relationship between the two studied species. The genetic structure of 60 plum samples was analyzed using Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) and Bayesian model-based analysis. PCoA separated the P. cerasifera and P. domestic accessions, while Bayesian model-based analysis revealed that many accessions of P. domestica and P. cerasifera shared a common ancestral history. The ex situ material showed greater genetic diversity as it was distributed over more populations than the in situ material. Promising in situ genotypes, especially from the Prekmurje and Lower Styria, were identified as valuable additions to enrich the existing collection.

7. On-line foreign object detection using double DD coils in an inductive wireless power transfer systemNataša Prosen, Miro Milanovič, Jure Domajnko, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper proposes an on-line method for foreign object detection in a double DD coil
system. The foreign object is detected by real-time measurement of the mutual inductance between
the transfer pads. Measurement of the mutual inductance between coils can be performed at the
start, during initialisation, or during the wireless power transfer. The coils in the double DD coil
structure can be used separately; one coil can be used for power transfer and the other can be used
for the mutual inductance measurement. The mutual inductance measurement is based on the
voltage measurement across the open circuit receiver coil. The measured value of mutual inductance
between the transmitter and the receiver pad can be used in a control algorithm and in a foreign
object detection algorithm. Additionally, a 2DDq coil structure can be used as a replacement for the
double DD coil structure, which increases the power transfer density. The DD coils in the double DD
coil structure can also be driven using two phase-shifted voltages, which enables better location and
detection of foreign objects. The method also helps to differentiate the mutual inductance change due
to the distance change from the mutual inductance change due to the presence of a foreign object. Ključne besede: WPT, double DD coil structure, mutual inductance measurement, coupling coefficient measurement, FOD, on-line measurement Objavljeno v DKUM: 01.04.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 7

8. Control of an inductive power transfer system using a double coil structureNataša Prosen, Mitja Truntič, Jure Domajnko, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper presents the design of the control of the system using a double DD coil structure.
The double DD coil is a layered coil structure that consists of two single DD coils, rotated to each other
by 90◦. A large-signal and small-signal model of the proposed IPT system are designed for control
synthesis. The small-signal model is derived from the large-signal using harmonic approximation
and the extended describing functions (EDF). For the small-signal model, voltage and current control
schemes were proposed for the purpose of wireless battery charging. The robustness of the control is
tested on a small-scale IPT system using double DD coils and resistive load. The results are evaluated
at different reference voltages, currents, loads and coupling coefficients. Ključne besede: wireless power transfer, double DD coil structure, voltage control, IPT with multiple coils Objavljeno v DKUM: 28.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 7

9. In-plane deformation behavior and the open area of rotating squares in an auxetic compound fabricPolona Dobnik-Dubrovski, Nejc Novak, Matej Borovinšek, Matej Vesenjak, Zoran Ren, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A conventional compound fabric was used to develop a modern, multifunctional material
with an auxetic behaviour and a tailored open area for particle filtration. Such material was produced
using traditional textile technology and laser cutting, to induce a rotating squares unit geometry. The
behaviour was investigated of three different rotating unit cell sizes. The laser slit thickness and the
length of the hinges were equal for all three-unit cells. The tensile properties, Poisson’s ratio and
auxetic behaviour of the tested samples were investigated, especially the influence of longitudinal
displacement on the fabric’s open area and the filtered particle sizes (average and maximum). Results
show that the developed compound fabric possesses an average negative Poisson’s ratio of up to
−1, depending on the applied auxetic geometry. The larger rotating cell size samples offer a higher
average negative Poisson’s ratio and a higher breaking strength due to the induced slits. The findings
highlight the usefulness of patterned cuts in conventional textile materials to develop advanced
auxetic textile materials with tailored geometrical and mechanical properties. Ključne besede: compound textile material, auxetic structure, open area, filtration, mechanical properties, Poisson’s ratio Objavljeno v DKUM: 25.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 11

10. Seismic resistance of existing buildings with added light timber structure storeysJurij Jančar, Trajče Zafirov, Miroslav Premrov, Bruno Dujič, Viktor Hristovski, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In the presented paper, the problem of vertical expansions is treated in terms of seismic resistance of structures with added storeys. A large parametric study has been performed, confirming the impact of different number of added storeys, and the change of their stiffness, on the seismic response of structures. The paper shows examples of how stiffness in light timber frame and cross laminated timber structures can be easily altered just by changing the type and distribution of fasteners. Known procedures are used to calculate the stiffness of the wall elements of a light timber frame system, and a new procedure is developed for determining the stiffness of cross laminated timber wall elements. The study shows how changing the stiffness of the vertical expansion can have a significant impact on the seismic response and that, in some cases, vertical expansion can have a favourable effect on seismic resistance, despite a minor increase in the mass of the structure.
