1. Ernest Hemingway in Slovenia since 1990 : scandal, the Soča and six-toed catsSimon Zupan, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The position of Ernest Hemingway in Slovenian culture in the pre-1990 period was systematically examined by Maver (1990). Developments since then, however, have not yet been researched in a synthetic manner. The article analyzes three aspects of Hemingway's presence in Slovenia: literary-critical reception of his works in Slovenia after 1990; his position in Slovenian popular culture; and the statistical data about the number of book loans for his books in Slovenian libraries. The analyses confirm that Hemingway's position in Slovenia has not changed dramatically and that he remains recognized as one of the foremost 20thcentury American writers.

2. Education for future? Investigating the role of education in explaining active green engagement : a multilevel moderated mediation analysisMatthias Penker, Andrej Kirbiš, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Despite extensive literature emphasizing the role of education in promoting engagement in environmental movements, international comparative research has yet to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Using data from 44,100 respondents across 28 countries in the ISSP's fourth environmental module, we demonstrate that individuals' willingness to pay for environmental protection (WTP) partially mediates the relationship between education and environmental public sphere behavior (PSB). Furthermore, drawing on the Quality of Government literature, we show that the link between education and WTP is significantly stronger in countries with low corruption levels, a pattern that extends to the indirect effect of education on PSB. Although the magnitude of this effect is reduced, the direct positive association between education and PSB persists even in high-corruption contexts. These findings underscore the transnational importance of education in shaping environmentally significant attitudes and behaviors, as well as the crucial role of corruption in moderating how education translates into both WTP and PSB.

3. Coastal flood risk assessment : an approach to accurately map flooding through national registry-reported eventsErik Kralj, Peter Kumer, Cécil J. W. Meulenberg, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The escalating frequency and severity of climate-related hazards in the Mediterranean, particularly in the historic town of Piran, Slovenia, underscore the critical need for enhanced coastal flood prediction and efficient early warning systems. This study delves into the impediments of available coastal flood hazard maps and the existing early warning system, which rely on distant sensors, neglecting the town’s unique microclimate. The current study leverages the public registry maintained by the Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief (URSZR), an underutilized resource for generating comprehensive and accurate flooding maps for Piran. Here, we show that in the historic town of Piran, floodings reported through the national registry can be used to map coastal flooding by means of verification and validation of the georeferenced reports therein, with subsequent correlation analysis (hotspot, cluster, and elevation polygons) that show temporal and spatial patterns. The innovative approach adopted in this study aims to bolster the accuracy and reliability of flooding data, offering a more nuanced understanding of flood patterns (in Piran, but generally applicable where national or regional registries are available). The findings of this research illuminate the pressing need for localized field-report and sensor systems to enhance the precision of flood predictions. The study underscores the pivotal role of accurate, localized data in fortifying coastal towns against the escalating impacts of climate change, safeguarding both the inhabitants and the invaluable architectural heritage of historic areas.

4. Investigating the interplay between teacher-student and peer relationships in predicting academic engagement in early adolescentsKatja Košir, Ivana Pikić Jugović, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study investigates the complex interplay between teacher–student and peer relationships in shaping academic engagementduring early adolescence. Drawing on a sample of 6048 students from public elementary schools in Slovenia, the predictivepower of these relationships beyond academic achievement was examined. Results revealed that both positive aspects ofteacher–student relationships and perceived peer support significantly contributed to academic engagement. Moreover, aninteraction effect indicated that peer support predicted engagement only in the absence of negative teacher–student relation-ships. These findings underscore the pivotal role of teacher–student relationships in fostering academic engagement, suggestingthat peer support cannot fully compensate for adverse teacher–student dynamics.

5. Why does health literacy matter, and for whom? Explaining the differentiating impact of health literacy on vaccine attitudesMaruša Lubej, Andrej Kirbiš, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Introduction: Vaccination has substantially reduced the spread and severity of infectious diseases. Despite its efficacy, vaccine hesitancy remains a global challenge, often linked to inadequate health literacy and unfavorable vaccine attitudes. Understanding the mechanisms through which health literacy influences vaccine-related attitudes is crucial because it could inform policy interventions aimed at fostering more favorable vaccine attitudes. Method: The present cross-sectional study of Slovenian adults (n = 3,360) examined the impact of health literacy on vaccine attitudes, focusing on the mediating role of beliefs in vaccine myths and the moderating effects of gender, education, economic status, healthcare training, and self-rated health. Results: Using mediation and moderated mediation models, we found that health literacy positively influences vaccine attitudes both directly and indirectly by reducing beliefs in myths. The relationship between health literacy and vaccine attitudes is moderated by healthcare training, with stronger positive effect among individuals with such training. Additionally, the negative effect of health literacy on beliefs in myths is stronger among individuals with higher education. Discussion: Our findings indicate that broader educational inequalities should be addressed to ensure that the positive effect of health literacy on vaccine attitudes is distributed more equitably across groups with different educational levels and fields of expertise.

6. Does health literacy mediate sociodemographic and economic inequalities in fruit and vegetable intake? : an analysis of Slovenian national HLS19 survey dataAndrej Kirbiš, Stefani Branilović, Maruša Lubej, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Health literacy plays an important role in promoting healthier behaviors. However, less is known about its impact on dietary habits, such as fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. This study examines the mediating role of health literacy in the relationship between FV intake and demographic and socioeconomic factors among Slovenian adults. We used Slovenian national data from the 19-country Health Literacy Survey 2019–2021 (HLS19) (n = 3360). Results indicate that health literacy plays a complex role in mediating the relationship between demographic and socioeconomic factors and FV intake. Women and financially stable individuals have higher levels of health literacy, which positively predicts higher FV intake. While older individuals demonstrated greater FV intake, they reported lower health literacy, suggesting other mechanisms may drive their dietary behavior. Additionally, while higher education was associated with improved health literacy, its direct relationship with FV intake was negative, though health literacy partially mitigated this effect. These results underscore the importance of health literacy as a mediating factor in improving dietary behaviors and highlight the need for targeted interventions and policies to enhance nutritional education, particularly for marginalized groups.

7. Measuring climate knowledge : a systematic review of quantitative studiesMaruša Lubej, Žiga Petraš, Andrej Kirbiš, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Climate change is a pressing issue that necessitates a climate-literate population. This systematic literature
review investigates how climate knowledge, a key component of climate literacy, is measured in scientific
research. Analysis of 92studiesrevealsthatclimateknowledgeisprimarilyassessedasobjectiveknowledge
(facts andevidence). Aminorityofstudiesmeasuredsubjectiveknowledge.Mostoften,thetargetpopulation
was general adult population, followed by students and teachers. Furthermore, most studies are concen
trated in North America and Europe, while climate knowledge remains underexplored in other regions.
This review highlights the lack of consistency in the measurement of climate knowledge, particularly in
defining its dimensions. Our findings underscore the need for future research to focus on developing a stan
dardized, reliable, valid, and comprehensive instrument for measuring climateknowledge. Thiswould enable
the comparison of findings across different regions and populations.

postala svetovna kulturna dediščina, ki jo poznamo v različnih
književnih vrstah (poezija, kratka proza, dramatika) in v
najrazličnejših medijskih predelavah. Lutkovni medij združuje
različne kode sporočanja: jezikovni (dialogi), zvočni (glasba kot
motiv, glasba kot podlaga), vizualni in gestualni (dramske osebe),
prostorski (osebe, video). V prispevku predstavljamo
mikroanalizo izbrane lutkovne predstave glede na kode sporočanja
in makroanalizo oz. sumativni pomen vseh kodov sporočanja,
njihovo prepletenost in sporočilnost. Lutkovna predstava Čriček in
mravlja vsebuje dva načina povezanosti izhodiščnega besedila in
predstave: priredbo (izhodišče je Ezopova basen); povzemanje oz.
izposojanje, z dodajanjem dramskega lika (drevo) in s spremembo
koncepta razumevanja umetnosti kot dela in ne kot nekoristnega
početja. Didaktična izhodišča temeljijo na osmi ključni
kompetenci vseživljenjskega učenja, to je kulturna zavest in
izražanje. Ključne besede: multimodalnost, Ezop, Vivaldi Objavljeno v DKUM: 14.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 6
