Foreign research reports low use of mobile devices for reading e-texts among students, so we investigated mobile reading behaviour among UL students. Since the results of the online survey showed ...that low use of mobile devices for reading e-texts is also characteristic of UL students, we wanted to investigate in more detail the reasons and barriers to the use of mobile devices for reading e-texts. The paper summarises the results of a survey which showed similar results to foreign surveys: students already use mobile devices (most often a smartphone) to read e-texts, but not frequently and not to read longer texts. Barriers are the smaller screen and keyboard, poorer page clarity and poorer ability to highlight text. The surveys also provided information on the most appropriate formats of library services for mobile devices and the most appropriate formats of training on how to use these services. The findings of the research are important for academic libraries, as e-resources constitute a large part of their services and mobile technology is already an important part of student life.
Za prostor med mestnimi in podeželskimi območji, ki pogosto ni jasno določen, se običajno uporablja izraz »obmestna krajina«. Eden ključnih razlogov za navedeno nejasnost je konceptualno preširoka in ...geografsko nejasna opredelitev tega prostora. Avtorica se v članku osredotoča na prostorsko določanje obmestne krajine na subregionalni ravni, pri čemer predstavi metodo, ki temelji na prostorskih in demografskih merilih. Prostorsko jasno opredeljena obmestna krajina na subregionalni ravni je lahko v pomoč pri izbiri ustreznih lokalnih in regionalnih pristopov k njenemu razvoju. Avtorica metodo, ki temelji na analizi prekrivanja podatkovnih slojev, preverja z uporabo podatkov, pridobljenih od regionalnih in občinskih uradov v Ljubljani in Edinburgu. Rezultati kažejo, da opisana manj dvoumna prostorska določitev obmestnih krajin zagotavlja boljšo podlago za prostorsko načrtovanje in oblikovanje prostorske politike.
Namen članka je predstaviti kakovost družbene infrastrukture izbranih kratkih oskrbnih prehranskih verig v Mestni občini Ljubljana in njen vpliv na varovanje virov, zmanjšanje odpadne hrane in ...embalaže. V raziskavi smo obravnavali šest ponudnikov, vključenih v kratke oskrbne prehranske verige z zabojčki, skupnim naročanjem in partnerskim kmetovanjem. Presoja objektov s pomočjo smernic trajnostne gradnje BNB (Bewertungssystem Nachhaltiges Bauen) je pokazala slabo kakovost in pomanjkljivo družbeno infrastrukturo. V pogovoru z intervjuvanci smo spoznali, da si želijo urejena in lahko dostopna prevzemna mesta z objekti, ki bi omogočali dobre pogoje za ljudi in živila. Mestna občina Ljubljana ima glede na bližnje podeželje z dobrimi pogoji za ekstenzivno in ekološko kmetijsko pridelavo še veliko možnosti za povečanje samooskrbe s kakovostno domačo hrano, ob tem pa bo morala poskrbeti za razvoj družbene infrastrukture.
Grobišče na Dvorišču SAZU v Ljubljani z več kot 300 žganimi grobovi iz mlajše bronaste in starejše železne dobe je še vedno eno ključnih najdišč za razumevanje gorenjsko-ljubljanske ...skupine. Nove raziskave na Kongresnem trgu so razkrile grobišče, ki se v mnogo vidikih razlikuje od tistega na Dvorišču SAZU. Prvič so bile v Ljubljani izpričane manjše gomile s prodnatim jedrom, zemljenim plaščem in zunanjim obodnim jarkom iz zgodnje železne dobe. Po večini gre za žarne grobove v središču gomile, izstopa gomila 3 s centralnim grobom in sedmimi pokopi okrog njega. Po načinu pokopa izstopajo trije skeletni grobovi iz 8. st. pr. n. št., ti so v članku tudi podrobneje predstavljeni. Podana sta kratek oris pojava skeletnih grobov v drugih sočasnih železnodobnih skupinah in poskus razlage teh skeletnih pokopov v Ljubljani. Na podlagi analize grobnih najdb in novih radiokarbonskih datacij iz Ljubljane so na kratko predstavljene dopolnitve Gabrovčeve kronološke sheme ljubljanskega grobišča in posledično gorenjsko-ljubljanske skupine, predvsem stopenj Ljubljana II in IIIa. Dopolnitve stopnje Ljubljana II tako v relativnem kot absolutnem kronološkem smislu so ključne za razumevanje začetka pokopavanja na Kongresnem trgu ter razdelitev stopenj Podzemelj 1 in 2.
Music served a variety of purposes at the Estates Theatre in Ljubljana. As well as being the main component of opera and theatre productions, it also served as entertainment for the audience during ...intermissions and enriched evening events. The present study focuses on the importance of the interaction between instrumental music and theatrical and operatic performances from 1802 to 1837.
Contaminated sediments transported onto the river terrace during high water events can contribute significant quantities of potentially toxic elements to riparian soils. Seven trace elements (As, Cd, ...Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) were analysed in the river sediment and riparian soil of the River Sava and their spatial distribution, potential toxicity and ecological risk levels were evaluated. The results showed that levels of all the trace metals were enriched to varying extents in both the sediment (As, Cr, Ni, and Pb) and soil (Ni) when compared to reference levels for sediments and European soils. Mean concentrations of trace metals in sediment and soil, apart from Pb, increased downstream in the River Sava. The similar increasing trend of these elements in sediment and soil may be explained by their increased load due to anthropogenic pressures (As, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn in sediment and the significant accumulation of Ni in soil) and frequent periodic flooding (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn in sediment and Cd in soil are influenced by both high water events and natural factors such as the geological substrate), particularly in lowland regions. In this study, soluble As, Cd, Cr, Cu and Ni fractions in sediment and soil <10% indicated their low mobility. The exceptions were readily soluble Pb and Zn in the sediment and soil at some sampling sites. In the lower reaches, levels of Pb in sediment was indicative of a medium environmental hazard, while there was a high environmental hazard in the upper reaches with the average Pb content in sediment higher than the PEL. Pollution factors for Pb in soil indicated a medium environmental hazard in the upper and middle reaches and a high environmental hazard at some sites in the lower stretches of the Sava River, although total Pb content in soil was within the range proposed for European soils.
•Riparian zone contamination was studied on a large spatial scale.•As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in riparian soil and river sediment were analysed.•Cr and Ni levels >PEL (CCME 2001) were found in river sediment in river's lower reaches.•Elevated As, Cr, Ni and Zn levels were found in riparian soil in river's lower reaches.•Hazardous readily soluble Pb in sediment and soil was found in upper reaches.
