16. Primož Mlačnik: Žanr je v prvi vrsti dogovor : intervju v Mestni knjižnici Ljubljana, 19. mar. 20242024, 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

18. A for Aurore and ambiguity : the reception of George Sand in the Slovenian literary fieldKatja 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.

19. Detection of gamma-ray sources and search for dark matter signals with Cherenkov Telescope Array surveys : dissertationVeronika 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.

20. Ogrevanje na lesne pelete in trajnostne tehnologije ogrevanja v Sloveniji : magistrsko deloAndrea Stefanović, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Onesnaženost okolja iz leta v leto predstavlja večji problem, na kar vpliva veliko dejavnikov. Ena izmed možnosti reševanja okolja je izboljšanje tehnologij ogrevanja. Slovenija je država z veliko gozdnate površine in prav zaradi tega je tu zaznan potencial napredka prihodnosti z vidika predelave lesa in ogrevanja z njegovo uporabo. Ekonomsko stroškovno učinkovit, eden izmed najmanjših onesnaževalcev okolja in enostaven za uporabo so nekatere od največjih prednosti uporabe lesenih peletov. Leseni peleti pa niso edini možen viri trajnostnih tehnologij ogrevanja, kar bomo ugotovili skozi magistrsko nalogo. Pri takšnih tehnologijah ogrevanja je potrebno, da je produkt koristen za družbo in gospodarstvo in, da nima negativnega vpliva na okolje.
Motivacija za izbrano temo magistrske naloge izvira iz želje po novem znanju na tem področju, saj verjamem, da se po področje izjemno dobro razvijalo in da obstaja velik potencial za napredek. Namen magistrske naloge je analiziranje ogrevanja s pomočjo trajnostnih tehnologij ogrevanja s stroškovnega, uporabniškega in okolje varstvenega vidika. Končni cilj naloge je ugotoviti kateri način ogrevanja je najbolj efektiven in cenovno dostopen, pa tudi kateri vir za ogrevanje je trenutno najbolj uporabljen na trgu.
