This paper discusses the current language situation among the Italian minority in Slovenian Primorje in Koper. During the fi eld research conducted by the authors’ team, narratives in Italian were ...recorded from informants. Using discursive and structural-typological methods of analysis, the authors reveal that the linguistic reality of modern Koper is perceived as constantly changing, and the Italian spontaneous speech of respondents is intertwined with borrowings from the surrounding South Slavic languages. The modern language situation is the result of historical changes in the Istria region during the twentieth century. In addition to insertions and quotations in Slovenian, items from the Croatian language are found, refl ecting the linguistic situation of the Yugoslav period and the border position of the Slovenian Primorje. Special attention is paid to analysis of the language competence of Italians in the Slovenian language, among representatives of both the older and younger generations of students. In the Slovene language of Italians, a number of features peculiar to Slavic dialects in Italy are found, which allows us to discuss the same linguistic factors. It is possible to reconstruct the language competence of older people only partially on the basis of indirect evidence. There is a discrepancy between the rights guaranteed under the law (the use of the Italian language) and the linguistic reality faced by informants, which may be the result of both a decline in the prestige of Italian and of the small number of the Italian diaspora, part of which is subject to language assimilation, including as a result of mixed marriages. The paper also discusses the role of the media and the linguistic landscape in the region.
Članek predstavlja štiri nove arheološke lokacije v Kopru: Ribiški trg, Škofijsko palačo, Vrtno ulico 2 in Vrtno ulico 8, ki so bile raziskane med leti 2005 in 2019. Osredotoča se na poznoantične ...strukture in najdbe. Novi podatki dopolnjujejo poznavanje poznoantične mejo poseljenosti na Koprskem otoku in diferencirajo poselitveni in grobiščni areal na osrednjem delu otoka, kar omogoča dodatni vpogled v poznoantično strukturo mesta in potencialno urbanistično rekonstrukcijo. Drobne najdbe materialne kulture in živalskih kosti na lokacijah opisujejo poznoantični način življenja in gospodarstva v odvisnosti od socialnega statusa prebivalstva.
The article deals with with an illustrious Capodistrian: Bruno Maier (Koper 1922-Trieste 2001), a fruitful essayist and critic, guardian of the literary heritage of Trieste and Istria. He was one of ...the first critics to have turned his attention to the literary production of the Italian National Community of Croatia and Slovenia. In particular, the intervention highlights that, while in the literary vision of Maier the Trieste dimension is a very consistent, rich and inexhaustible reality, the true, passionate origin of this vision is in Istria, which remains an indefectible component of the soul and intelligence of the Capodistrian scholar.
Slovenian priests have an important role in Croatian history; their influence can primarily be observed in the border areas of todayʼs Slovenian and Croatian border. If we look at the history of ...Liburnia, and, on a broader scale, of Kvarner and Croatian Istria, it can be observed that they were present in these areas for centuries, and that their work was mainly based on improving the spiritual and material life of their congregation and parishes in which they worked. The aim of this paper is to record individuals originating from Slovenian areas who worked in Croatian areas, and to present their work in the parishes of the coastal area of Liburnia. So far only some aspects of the topic have been observed, and there are no articles that present a large number of individuals that worked in the observed geographical area. This paper is based on the available scientific and professional literature, as well as on the secondary printed sources.
Heavy metal abundance and potential environmental risks are reported for surface sediments (n = 21) from the Port of Koper area, Republic of Slovenia. The enrichment factor (EF) indicates minor ...enrichment in arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), and zinc (Zn), moderately to severely enriched with nickel (Ni). The trace metal chemistries, in the context of sediment quality guidelines (SQG), imply adverse threshold effect concentrations (TEC) and probable effect concentrations (PEC), for Ni only. Sediment sequential leaching experiments demonstrated that the majority of heavy metals were of natural lithogenic origin and low bioavailability. The heavy metals’ potential for “Risk Assessment Code” values exhibited no or low anthropogenic environmental burden, with the exception of Mo.

Doświadczenie polowe przeprowadzono w latach 2009–2010. Celem badań było określenie wpływu stosowania płaskiego osłaniania roślin włókniną (PP17 i PP50) i uprawy współrzędnej na zawartość ...makroskładników w liściach sałaty rzymskiej (Lactuca sativa L. var. romana Garst.). Osłanianie roślin włókniną PP17 i PP50 nie wpłynęło istotnie na zawartość suchej masy, N ogółem, P i Ca w sałacie rzymskiej. Sałata rosnąca pod płaskimi osłonami zgromadziła mniej K i więcej Mg niż uprawiana bez osłon. Sałata rosnąca współrzędnie z rzodkiewką kumulowała najmniej N ogółem i najwięcej Ca w liściach. Liście zewnętrzne sałaty zawierały więcej suchej masy, K, Ca i Mg, a liście wewnętrzne były bogatsze w N ogółem i P.
This paper presents an original analysis and reinterpretation of two documents from 1238 and 1239, which are the first to mention the Koper statutes but have thus far received only sporadic mentions ...in historiography. The paper is further predicated on the study of archival sources of the Venetian Senate from the Senato Misti collection for the period after the Koper rebellion against Venice in 1348 up until 1394 when the Doge of Venice reconfirmed the Koper statutes. It is established that at least from 1238 the commune of Koper acted according to its already complex statutes. These were, with some further redactions, in force until 1348, when, due to the rebellion of Koper, they were disregarded by the Venetian authorities until 1358, along with the dissolution of the city's Major Council, and all of Koper's city offices were restructured. After 1358, the sources testify that the Venetians restored the Koper City Council and offices to their pre-rebellion state, but not the statutes, although some statutory provisions were taken into account in individual administrative or judicial cases. The Koper statutes officially came into force again in 1394, and a slightly modified redaction appeared in 1423. However, in both cases without the right to exercise criminal justice and the defence of the city, which remained in the exclusive domain of the Venetian podestà and captain until the end of the Venetian Republic in 1797.
Purpose
The increase in maritime traffic in the Bay of Koper (Gulf of Trieste, northern Adriatic Sea) has been made possible given the increase in the local port capacity and logistics, which, in ...turn, means an increase in the number of arrivals of larger vessels (which were the original motive for port expansion); this poses a potential risk for coastal environments due to the impact of the resuspension of bottom sediment which affects the physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. The aim of this work was to assess the magnitude of these perturbative events.
Materials and methods
Turbidity (NTU) measurements were made using a CTD multiprobe during a vessel manoeuvre in the port navigational canal and in the entire Bay of Koper. In the highest turbidity zone, samples were collected from the surface water layer (0.5 m), at a depth of 6.0 m and 12.0 m. Total suspended solids (TSS) and suspended organic matter (SOM) were measured gravimetrically. TSS grain-size distribution was determined using a laser granulometer.
Results and discussion
The effect of the vessel manoeuvre was evident on turbidity with a maximum value of 137 NTU (TSS = ~ 139 mg l
−1
) and a sampled concentration of TSS of 37 mg l
−1
(bottom layer) in the water column immediately after the ship manoeuvre. Grain-size analysis shows a spectrum of particles with a mode size between 22 and 88 μm (medium silt and very fine sand, respectively). The estimated resuspension mass of total suspended solids (TSS) was ~ 109 t in the restricted manoeuvre area extending about ~ 736 × 493 m and with an average depth of 15 m.
Conclusions
The results demonstrated the significant impact of vessel manoeuvres on the measured parameters, the impact of which cannot be underestimated in terms of marine environmental protection and maritime traffic safety. Moreover, this impact is expected to increase in the near future.

V članku je na primeru doslej manj raziskanega mestnega urada prokuratorjev ali oskrbnikov koprske stolnice (Procuratore della Fabrica della Cattedrale di Capodistria) predstavljena vloga koprskega ...plemstva pri javnem umetnostnem naročništvu. Največji vpliv na izbiro arhitektov in izvajalcev umetnostnih naročil in s tem na končno podobo koprske stolnice v prvi polovici 18. stoletja so imeli prokuratorji Benvenuto markiz Gravisi (1679–1746), Alvise grof Tarsia (1697–1774) in Francesco Barbabianca (1695–1753). Pri izbiri arhitektov, kot sta Giorgio Massari (1687–1766) in Domenico Schiavi (1718–1795), so si pomagali z nasveti in povezavami koprskih izobražencev, kot sta Girolamo markiz Gravisi (1720–1812) in Gian Rinaldo grof Carli (1720–1795), ki so jih ti vzpostavili med študijem na univerzi v Padovi ali preko članstev v akademijah. Tako so se prokuratorji v letih 1748–1749 lahko v zvezi s prezidavo kora koprske stolnice posvetovali tudi s tedaj vodilno avtoriteto na arhitekturnem področju v Beneški republiki, Giovannijem markizom Polenijem (1683–1761), profesorjem eksperimentalne fizike na univerzi v Padovi.
