This article examines the complex question of whether Russia could successfully capture Latvia, a NATO member state since 2004. Based on analysis of current intelligence assessments, military simulations, and geopolitical dynamics as of February 2026, the article reconstructs the multifaceted nature of the threat, ranging from hybrid warfare to conventional invasion scenarios. Particular attention is devoted to the balance between Russian capabilities, NATO's defensive commitments, and the specific vulnerabilities of the Baltic region. The consensus among Western intelligence agencies indicates that while Russia poses significant hybrid and cyber threats, a conventional military invasion capable of capturing Latvia faces formidable obstacles, primarily Latvia's NATO membership and the alliance's collective defense guarantee under Article 5.

Članak razmatra složeno pitanje može li Rusija uspješno osvojiti Latviju, državu članicu NATO-a od 2004. godine. Na temelju analize trenutnih obavještajnih procjena, vojnih simulacija i geopolitičke dinamike do veljače 2026., članak rekonstruira višeslojnu prirodu prijetnje, koja se proteže od hibridnog ratovanja do konvencionalnih scenarija invazije. Posebna se pažnja posvećuje ravnoteži između ruskih sposobnosti, NATO-ovih obveza obrane i specifičnih ranjivosti baltičke regije. Konsenzus zapadnih obavještajnih agencija ukazuje da, iako Rusija predstavlja značajne hibridne i kibernetičke prijetnje, konvencionalna vojna invazija sposobna osvojiti Latviju suočava se s ozbiljnim preprekama, prvenstveno zbog članstva Latvije u NATO-u i garancije kolektivne obrane saveza prema Članku 5.

Ta članek predstavlja celovito biografijo Sir Isaaca Newtona, enega najbolj vplivnih znanstvenikov v človeški zgodovini, čigar delo je temeljito preoblikovalo človekovo razumevanje fizičnega vesolja. Na podlagi analize zgodovinskih dokumentov, znanstvenih traktatov in biografskih zapisov ta članek rekonstruira Newtonovo pot od samotnega Cambridge učenca do predsednika Kraljeve družbe in glavnega kovnika kovnice. Posebna pozornost je namenjena njegovim prelomnim prispevkom k fiziki, matematiki, optiki in astronomiji, pa tudi njegovim manj znanim prizadevanjem v alkimiji, teologiji in kronologiji. Kompleksna osebnost Newtona — skrivnostna, izjemno osredotočena in intelektualno nepopustljiva — se zdi neločljivo povezana z revolucionarnimi idejami, ki so utrdile temelje klasične mehanike in so tri stoletja temeljito oblikovale znanstveno miselnost.

This article presents a comprehensive biography of Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most influential scientists in human history whose work fundamentally transformed humanity's understanding of the physical universe. Based on analysis of historical documents, scientific treatises, and biographical accounts, this article reconstructs Newton's trajectory from a solitary Cambridge scholar to President of the Royal Society and Master of the Mint. Particular attention is devoted to his groundbreaking contributions to physics, mathematics, optics, and astronomy, as well as his lesser-known pursuits in alchemy, theology, and chronology. The complex personality of Newton—secretive, intensely focused, and intellectually relentless—emerges as inseparable from the revolutionary ideas that laid the foundation for classical mechanics and dominated scientific thought for three centuries.

Na temelju analize povijesnih dokumenata, znanstvenih traktata i biografskih prikaza, ovaj članak rekonstruira Newtonovu putanju od samotnog Cambridgeovog učenjaka do predsjednika Kraljevskog društva i gospodara kovnice novca. Posebna pažnja posvećena je njegovim revolucionarnim doprinosima u fizici, matematici, optici i astronomiji, kao i njegovim manje poznatim pothvatima u alkemiji, teologiji i kronologiji. Kompleksna osobnost Newtona — tajnovita, izrazito usmjerena i intelektualno neumoljiva — pojavljuje se kao neodvojiva od revolucionarnih ideja koje su postavile temelje klasične mehanike i dominirale znanstvenim mišljenjem tri stoljeća.

Ta članek preučuje freestyle smučanje kot dinamičen zimski šport, ki združuje tradicionalne smučarske tehnike z zračnimi akrobacijami in visokohitrostnimi manevri. Na podlagi analize zgodovine Olimpijskih iger, disciplinskih specifikacij in tekmovalnih trendov članek rekonstruira razvoj freestyle smučanja od njegovih protikulturalnih izvorov v šestdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja do njegovega trenutnega statusa kot ene najbolj spektakularnih disciplin Zimske olimpijske igre. Posebna pozornost je namenjena sedmim različnim disciplinam, ki sestavljajo ta šport, njihovim načinom ocenjevanja, tehnološkemu razvoju opreme in zvezdnim športnikom, ki so oblikovali razvoj športa. Prihodnje Zimske igre Milano-Cortina 2026, na katerih bo uveden dvojni moguls (dual moguls) in dodan petnajsti medaljski dogodek, bodo osrednji poudarek pri preučevanju sodobnega freestyle smučanja.

This article examines freestyle skiing as a dynamic winter sport that combines traditional skiing techniques with aerial acrobatics and high-speed maneuvers. Based on analysis of Olympic history, disciplinary specifications, and competitive developments, the article reconstructs the evolution of freestyle skiing from its countercultural origins in the 1960s to its current status as one of the most spectacular disciplines of the Winter Olympics. Particular attention is devoted to the seven distinct disciplines comprising the sport, their scoring methodologies, the technological evolution of equipment, and the star athletes who have shaped the sport's development. The upcoming Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games, featuring the debut of dual moguls and the addition of a fifteenth medal event, serve as the focal point for examining contemporary freestyle skiing.
