Primož Mlačnik: Žanr je v prvi vrsti dogovor : intervju v Mestni knjižnici Ljubljana, 19. mar. 2024
2024, other performed works

Abstract: S Primožem Mlačnikom o tem, zakaj so, če so, detektivski romani poseben žanr. Pa tudi o zgodovinski perspektivi (in perspektivah) nastanka žanrov ter o tem, zakaj imamo ljudje radi »čiste« kategorije: tudi ko gre za literaturo, še posebej v kontekstih literarne produkcije, konzumacije in eksploatacije. Pa o pisanju, literaturi, literarnih žanrih, podžanrih in nežanrski literaturi – ter o njegovem nekonvencionalnem kriminalnem romanu Otok psov (LUD Literatura, 2022), knjigo, ki nas postavi v središče dogajanja na otoku Grand Canaria na Kanarskih otokih med pandemijo koronavirusa. In še o razpredelnicah, zemljevidih, kulturologiji, uporniškem angažmaju (in kletvicah).
Keywords: Roman Otok psov, kratek intervju, o žanrih, detektivski roman, avtorska perspektiva

A for Aurore and ambiguity : the reception of George Sand in the Slovenian literary field
Katja Mihurko, Primož Mlačnik, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: The first part of the title of the article is borrowed from the afterword A for Aurora, A for Autobiography in the Slovenian translation of George Sand’s seminal work Histoire de ma vie, published by the feminist publishing house Delta, marking the bicentenary of French writer’s birth. 1 Analyzing the discourse on George Sand in the Slovenian literary field, we have observed a unique ambiguity compared to the discourse on other canonized authors and their Slovene reception. We argue that George Sand is a site of ambiguous discourse. Departing from the approaches of the renowned American historian Joan Wallach Scott, herself inspired by the Foucauldian epistemology, we are interested in how and why this discourse came into being, how the representations of George Sand were discursively established, and what contradictions are inherent in this debate.

Detection of gamma-ray sources and search for dark matter signals with Cherenkov Telescope Array surveys : dissertation
Veronika Vodeb, 2024, doctoral dissertation

Abstract: Gamma rays serve as important messengers in modern astrophysics, offering insights into the most energetic processes in the cosmos. Advancements in gamma-ray astronomy, facilitated by international scientific collaboration, have expanded its reach and capabilities. The Fermi-Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) has so far contributed immensely to our understanding of the gamma-ray sky at GeV energies, surveying numerous source classes. At the same time, ground-based observatories like H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS, HAWC, and LHASSO, enable the exploration of high-energy (HE) phenomena across various energy scales, reaching the PeV range. The collective data from Fermi-LAT and ground-based instruments provide a comprehensive picture of cosmic phenomena across diverse energy regimes. Efforts to catalog HE gamma-ray sources have resulted in the detection of several thousand sources at GeV, including Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe), Supernova Remnants (SNRs), pulsars, blazars, and Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), with the observational capability to study their spectral and spatial morphology enhancing our understanding of their origin and evolution. Looking ahead, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the next frontier in ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. Operating at very high energies (VHE) between 20 GeV and 300 TeV, CTA's improved sensitivity, angular resolution, and expanded field of view (FoV) promise enhanced imaging of extended sources and performance of large-scale surveys. CTA's Key Science Projects (KSPs) include the Extragalactic (EGAL) survey, a survey of a quarter of the extragalactic sky, and the Galactic Plane Survey (GPS), a survey of the entire Galactic Plane (GP). The KSPs will receive dedicated observation time and careful planning to ensure the optimization of their scientific output. As CTA is currently entering the construction phase, simulations are being extensively employed to predict its response to various signals, playing a vital role in comprehending CTA's response and sensitivity to different signals. The derived predictions are paving the way for estimating the CTA's scientific output, informing the observational strategy, and ensuring its success in maximizing the contribution to HE gamma-ray astronomy. In this thesis, I contribute to assessing the sensitivity of the CTA surveys, particularly the GPS and the EGAL survey, to diverse astrophysical sources and signals. Focusing on the GPS, I delve into understanding the detectability of pulsar halos, which emit multi-TeV gamma rays, the detection of which was recently reported by the HAWC Observatory. The study involves a spatial-spectral likelihood analysis, evaluating sensitivity to simple Gaussian extended sources and physically modeled sources. Employing a template-fitting approach, I analyze CTA's GPS sensitivity to extended sources and explore the prospects for pulsar halo detection and characterization. A preliminary population study addresses the visibility of pulsar halos to CTA's GPS and explores the angular sensitivity to extended sources. The thesis sets the detectability prospects of pulsar halos with CTA and investigates what fraction of the preliminary pulsar halo population CTA will be able to probe. The thesis extends its exploration into the persistent mystery of dark matter (DM), a fundamental puzzle in cosmology. The search for DM signals remains a vigorous pursuit in the physics community, utilizing various astrophysical messengers resulting from DM particle annihilation or decay. I investigate the potential of CTA's GPS to detect dark sub-halos within our galaxy, utilizing a similar approach as in the sensitivity assessment to pulsar halos, applied to recent sub-halo population simulations. Furthermore, the thesis addresses the intricate task of disentangling DM components from astrophysical contributions in the observed gamma-ray sky. In terms of the EGAL survey, employing advanced statistical methods such as the cross-correlation technique, I explore the prospects of using CTA's EGAL survey to correlate the Extragalactic Gamma-ray Background (EGRB) with galaxy catalogs, providing insights into DM properties. While traditional methods rely on likelihood analysis with background subtraction or template fitting, the emergence of supervised machine learning (ML) offers a novel, potentially more effective approach for cataloging the sky. The thesis touches upon the usability of ML in the high and VHE gamma-ray sky. My study focuses on CTA's GPS and utilizes deep-learning-based algorithms in a detection pipeline for the automatic classification of extended sources from gamma-ray data. As CTA stands at the forefront of gamma-ray astronomy as the next-generation observatory, the research presented in this thesis contributes a small step towards answering the open questions about pulsar halos and DM, showcasing the potential breakthroughs that may emerge from CTA's observations. The detailed likelihood analysis performed aims to advance our understanding of these enigmas, from the physical intricacies of pulsar halos to the elusive nature of DM, driven by curiosity about the continuous exploration of the Universe's mysteries.

Optimizacija prezračevalnega sistema komunalne čistilne naprave z energetsko, ekonomsko ter okoljsko analizo projekta : magistrsko delo
Uroš Braz, 2024, master's thesis

Abstract: Čistilne naprave za čiščenje komunalnih odpadnih vod čistijo odpadne vode do stopnje, ki je primerna za izpust v okolje. To počnemo na različne načine, eden izmed njih je čiščenje s pomočjo vnosa zraka, kjer pri tem posnemamo naravo, le da so ti postopki bolj intenzivni. Pri vnosu zraka v prezračevalne bazene čistilne naprave se poslužujemo različnih puhal ter mešal, vedno pa imamo pred očmi maksimalni čistilni učinek ob najmanjših obratovalnih stroških. Kot smo pokazali v tem magistrskem delu, predstavlja prezračevanje skoraj 2/3 vseh energijskih potreb čistilne naprave, zato je v današnjem času ob naraščanju cen energentov ter vsestranskih prizadevanjih po zmanjšanju porabe energije še toliko bolj pomembna pravilna izbira načina vnosa zraka v prezračevalne bazene čistilne naprave. Pri načrtovanju čistilnih naprav si želimo doseči čim večji učinek čiščenja, čistilna naprava pa naj obratuje ob čim manjših stroških. Izkaže se, da kljub preverjenim metodam čiščenja v praksi zaradi napačnih odločitev pri načrtovanju vedno ne dosegamo zgornjih ciljev. V zaključnem delu magistrskega dela smo pokazali, kako s pravilno izbiro in načrtovanjem tehnološke opreme zmanjšamo stroške obratovanja ter izboljšamo delovanje komunalne čistilne naprave. Investicijo smo s pomočjo dinamičnih metod ocenili z ekonomskega vidika. Izvedli smo meritve raztopljenega kisika ter porabe energije. Investicijo smo ovrednotili z okoljskega stališča z izračunom zmanjšanja izpustov toplogrednih plinov ter vzorčenjem in analizo odpadne ter očiščene vode pred in po zamenjavi prezračevalnega sistema.

Degradation of microplastics in the environment : dissertation
Vaibhav Budhiraja, 2024, doctoral dissertation

Abstract: Plastics are based on organic polymers that are sensitive to the environment in which they find themselves and will gradually decay through a variety of chemical reactions. This process is of great importance for the transformation and persistence of microplastics (MPs) that pollute the environment. The rate of degradation depends on two major factors: Firstly, the intrinsic properties of the polymers, such as chemical structure, molecular weight, crystallinity and the presence of additives, fillers or reinforcement and secondly, the environment to which they are exposed. The degradation rate of plastic will vary in different environmental matrices like soil, freshwater, seawater, wastewater, land etc., as well as in diverse environmental conditions like UV radiation, temperature, humidity, the effect of pollutants etc. Plastic mainly undergoes two fundamental reactions: oxidation and hydrolysis and the chemical structure of the polymer and its additives plays a key role in the degradation mechanism of plastic. Polyolefins having a carbon-only main chain are resistant to hydrolysis but susceptible to oxidation, whereas polyesters and polyamides containing heteroatoms are sensitive to hydrolysis and much more resistant to oxidation. In the context of the present work, five different studies were done involving both naturally degraded plastic and accelerated weathering of plastics in the form of small particles, MPs. In the first study, natural degraded polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) samples with a life span of more than forty years were collected from the environment and their physiochemical properties were analysed. The results show that red coloured PE samples were more degraded as compared to blue coloured samples, indicating that pigment plays a key role in the degradation. The PP sample shows extreme surface degradation, leading to fragmentation and the generation of MPs. In the second study, the effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on MPs in waste water treatment plant sludge was evaluated. PE, PP, polyethylene terephthalate and polyamide were extracted from the sludge. It was found that hydrodynamic cavitation does not disintegrate the MPs, although it removes some toxic metals and shows cell disruption mechanisms. Other studies were done with accelerated weathered MPs, which include PE, PP and tire wear particles (TWP), that were treated in accordance with an ISO 4892 standard weathering procedure that mimics natural weathered conditions. In the third study, we used weathered PE films to evaluate the synergistic adsorption behaviour of two pollutants, namely triclosan (TCS) and methylparaben (MeP). It was found that weathered MPs adsorb more pollutants and the adsorption behaviour of TCS is enhanced in the presence of MeP. In the fourth study, the magnetic extraction of pristine and weathered PE and TWP particles was performed. The results confirmed that the magnetic VI extraction of weathered MPs is difficult as compared to pristine MPs as their surface becomes more hydrophilic with weathering. In the fifth study, the effect of weathering on the density of PE and PP was evaluated. We found that weathering enhances the density of polyolefins, which is one of the main reasons for the observed sinking of polyolefin MPs in water.
