Lemma choice in English-Slovenian and Slovenian-English dictionaries for Slovenian immigrants in the USA
No full textV prispevku analiziramo štiri angleško-slovenske oz. slovensko-angleške slovarje, ki so jih sestavili Viktor/Victor Kubelka, Silvester Košutnik in Frank (Javh-)Kern, namenjeni pa so bili slovenskim priseljencem v ZDA. Slovarji so izšli v obdobju od leta 1904 do leta 1919, torej v času, ko je bilo izseljevanje Slovencev v ZDA na vrhuncu.Pri sestavljanju slovarjev je povsem običajno, da sestavljavci uporabljajo iztočnice in druge informacije iz obstoječih slovarjev. V prispevku preučuje-mo podobnosti in razlike v geslovnikih analiziranih slovarjev in geslovnikih slovarjev, ki so bili takrat že na trgu. Osredotočamo se predvsem na izbor iztočnic, ki so si jih avtorji (predvidoma) izposodili iz obstoječih slovarjev. Ugotoviti skušamo, ali lahko opazimo določen trend ali vzorec in ali so bile njihove odločitve v skladu s potrebami ciljnih uporabnikov – slovenskih Izbira iztočnic v angleško-slovenskih in slovensko-angleških slovarjih za slovenske priseljence v ZDA 17priseljencev v ZDA, oz. ali so ciljni uporabniki prišli do informacij o novem družbenokulturnem konteksu. Z drugimi besedami, v članku ugotavljamo, ali so bili ti slovarji pravi slovarji za priseljence.V prvi vrsti nas je zanimalo, ali so Kubelka, Košutnik in Kern uporabljali geslovnike obstoječih angleško-nemških slovarjev. Primerjali smo iztočnice na be- v Rothwellovem angleško-nemškem slovarju iz leta 1880 (272 iztočnic) in v preučevanih slovarjih, ki vključujejo angleško-slovenski del (Kubelka 1912Košutnik 1912Kern 1919). Čeprav ni mogoče z gotovostjo ugotoviti, katerega od angleško-nemških slovarjev so uporabljali, pa je bil Rothwellov slovar takrat že na trgu in dostopen tudi našim avtorjem. V Kubelki 1912 se z be- začne 68 iztočnic, od teh je 61 (89,7 %) enakih kot v Rothwellovem slovarju. V Košutniku 1912 se z be- začne 112 iztočnic, 90 (80,4 %) jih najdemo tudi v Rotwellovem slovarju. V Kernu 1919 se z be- začne 197 iztočnic, od teh je 168 iztočnic (85,3 %) tudi v Rothwellovem slovarju. Rothwellov slovar je ve-liko obširnejši od treh angleško-slovenskih slovarjev, kar pomeni, da so morali Kubelka, Košutnik in Kern pri izbiranju iztočnic opraviti temeljito selekcijo.Z veliko verjetnostjo lahko predvidevamo, da sta se Kubelka (v slovarjih iz leta 1904 in 1912) in Košutnik (v slovarju iz leta 1912) pri izboru iztočnic za slovensko-angleški slovar opirala na Pleteršnikov slovensko-nemški slovar (1894–1895). Ugotavljali smo, koliko iztočnic je v treh slovensko-angleških slovarjih enakih kot v Pleteršnikovem slovarju. Primerjali smo iztočnice od dninar do dopoldanv Pleteršnikovem slovarju je v tem segmentu 869 iztoč-nic. V Kubelki 1904 je od 51 iztočnic v tem segmentu 47 iztočnic (92,2 %) enakih kot v Pleteršniku, v Kubelki 1912 je od 78 iztočnic 74 iztočnic (94,9 %) enakih kot v Pleteršniku, v Košutniku 1912 pa je iztočnic le 38, od teh pa je 37 iztočnic (96,9 %) enakih kot v Pleteršniku. Očitno je, da sta Kubelka in Košutnik zelo skrbno pretehtala, katere iztočnice bosta izbrala iz obsežnega Pleteršnikovega geslovnika.V drugem delu članka predstavimo primere iztočnic iz prej omenjenih slo-varjev in jih presojamo z vidika (ne)primernosti glede na to, da so bili slovarji namenjeni zelo specifični ciljni publiki. Zaključimo lahko, da morajo slovarji za priseljence vključevati iztočnice, ki nudijo informacije o družbi in kulturi dežele priseljevanja. Iztočnice, ki veljajo za primerne v splošnih dvojezičnih slovarjih in v dvojezičnih ali enojezičnih slovarjih za uporabnike, ki se učijo tuji jezik, niso vedno najustreznejše v slo-varjih za priseljence. V prispevku smo ugotovili, da od analiziranih slovarjev Kubelkov slovar iz leta 1912 in Kernov slovar iz leta 1919 v največji meri vključujeta primerne ustreznike za iztočnice, ki izražajo družbenokulturno specifiko dežele priseljevanja, in si zaradi tega najbolj zaslužita, da ju poime-nujemo slovarja za priseljence.This article analyzes four English–Slovenian and Slovenian–English dictionaries compiled by Viktor/Victor Kubelka, Silvester Košutnik, and Frank (Javh-)Kern, intended for Slovenian immigrants in the USA. These dictionaries were published between 1904 and 1919, a period when Slovenian emigration to the USA was at its peak. The study examines similarities and differences between the word lists of the analyzed dictionaries and those of dictionaries already available on the market at the time. The focus is primarily on the selection of entries, which were presumably borrowed from existing dictionaries. We aim to determine whether a specific trend or pattern can be observed, whether the compilers’ decisions aligned with the needs of the target users—Slovenian immigrants in the USA, and whether the users could access information about the new sociocultural context. Through case analysis, we found that Kubelka’s 1912 dictionary and Kern’s 1919 dictionary most comprehensively include appropriate sociocultural equivalentstherefore, they most deserve to be called immigrant dictionaries
Contextualizing job design for individual work performance
No full textThis two-study, top-down multilevel research examines how to create high-performance jobs within well-designed organizations. By integrating a broad strategic human resource management perspective with the traditional strategy–structure–performance framework and influential job demands–resources theory, we explored whether and how the alignment of cognitive job demands and task-related resources mediates the cross-level relationship between strategy–structure fit and employees’ task performance. Multilevel mediation analyses were performed using nested, time-lagged data (Study 1: 874 employees across 49 organizationsStudy 2: 479 employees and 171 managers across 40 organizations). Results consistently show that strategy–structure fit, as a macrolevel context, is too distal to directly influence individual work performance. Instead, the alignment of strategic ambidexterity and cross-functional integration enhances microlevel job demands–resources fit, which then improves employees’ task performance. These replicated findings, further supported by latent profile analysis, highlight the importance of contextualizing job design within organizational systems and introduce a multilevel, multi-fit framework with practical insights for human resource and organizational design professionals
Experimental analysis of water collection with a water harp
No full textPomanjkanje pitne vode je humanitarni problem, ki prizadene številne regije, zlasti v sušnih območjih. V raziskavi smo obravnavali učinkovitost zajemanja vode iz megle s pomočjo prototipa vodne harfe. Zasnovali smo eksperimentalno komoro z nadzorovanimi pogoji, opremljeno z ultrazvočnimi generatorji megle, ventilatorjem, merilniki vlažnosti ter hitrotekočo video kamero. Analizirane so bile različne konfiguracije harfe, izdelane iz žic premera 0,2 mm in 0,4 mm, z in brez hidrofobnega premaza, v dveh režimih megle. Rezultati kažejo, da večja debelina žice poveča količino zbrane vode za približno 35–40 %, medtem ko hidrofobni premaz zmanjša učinkovitost za 40–50 %. Gostota megle se je izkazala za najpomembnejši dejavnik, saj je pri podvojeni količini proizvedene megle količina zbrane vode skoraj dvakratna. Najvišja zabeležena vrednost je znašala 295 l·· pri žici premera 0,4 mm brez uporabe hidrofobnega premaza. Pridobljeni rezultati so usmerjeni tako, da omogočajo dodatno delo na tem področju. Prvi smiselni koraki za nadaljnji razvoj bi bili: analiza kakovosti zbrane vode, zbiralni sistem za dreniranje vode iz harfe in preučitev nadaljnjih izboljšav preko kombinacije hidrofilnih in hidrofobnih žic.The lack of drinking water is a humanitarian problem that affects many regions, especially in arid areas. In our study, we examined the effectiveness of collecting water from fog using a prototype water harp. We designed an experimental chamber with controlled conditions, equipped with ultrasonic fog generators, a fan, humidity meters, and a high-speed video camera. Various harp configurations made of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm diameter wires, with and without a hydrophobic coating, were analysed in two fog modes. The results show that a greater wire thickness increases the amount of water collected by approximately 35–40%, while a hydrophobic coating reduces efficiency by 40–50%. Fog density proved to be the most important factor, as the amount of collected water is almost double when the amount of fog produced is doubled. The highest recorded value was 295 l·· for a wire diameter of 0.4 mm without the use of a hydrophobic coating. The results obtained are oriented in such a way as to enable further work in this area. The first steps for further development would include: analysis of the quality of the collected water, a collection system for draining water from the harp, and further improvements with combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic wires
MODERN CONTAINER TERMINALS - DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
No full textMagistrska naloga proučuje sodobne kontejnerske terminale kot osrednja vozlišča globalnih oskrbovalnih verig ter analizira njihov tehnološki, organizacijski in trajnostni razvoj. Raziskava temelji na zgodovinskem pregledu kontejnerizacije, proučitvi najnovejših tehnoloških rešitev ter analizi treh največjih evropskih pristanišč Rotterdama, Hamburga in Antwerpen-Brugesa. Ugotovitve kažejo, da sodobni terminali svojo konkurenčnost zagotavljajo predvsem z avtomatizacijo, digitalizacijo in energetsko tranzicijo. V prihodnosti bodo ključne smernice temeljile na integraciji pametnih tehnologij, povečanem sodelovanju z mestnim in industrijskim okoljem ter na oblikovanju trajnostnih logističnih ekosistemov. Naloga potrjuje, da bo konkurenčnost terminalov določena z njihovo sposobnostjo združevanja fizične infrastrukture, digitalnih rešitev in strateškega upravljanja.The master’s thesis explores modern container terminals as key hubs of global supply chains, analyzing their technological, organizational, and sustainability-oriented development. The research combines a historical review of containerization, an examination of emerging technological solutions, and a comparative case study of Europe’s three largest ports Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Antwerp-Bruges. The findings demonstrate that competitiveness of modern terminals is primarily driven by automation, digitalization, and the energy transition. Future development will rely on the integration of smart technologies, stronger collaboration with urban and industrial environments, and the creation of sustainable logistics ecosystems. The thesis confirms that the long-term competitiveness of container terminals will depend on their ability to combine physical infrastructure, digital solutions, and strategic management
Exploring mindfulness in university students
No full textV zadnjem obdobju narašča zanimanje za učinke vadbe čuječnosti na duševno zdravje, blagostanje in študijske izide študentov. Pri raziskovanju omenjenih učinkov je treba zagotoviti veljavne in zanesljive pripomočke za merjenje čuječnosti, ki pa jih v slovenskem prostoru primanjkuje. Namen raziskave je bil zato preučiti psihometrične značilnosti slovenskega prevoda Filadelfijske lestvice čuječnosti (PHLMS) in njene krajše oblike na vzorcu študentov (N = 570), starih od 18 do 39 let. Konfirmatorna faktorska analiza je potrdila predlagano dvofaktorsko strukturo tako daljše kot krajše oblike lestvice, ki omogoča merjenje dveh neodvisnih dimenzij čuječnosti: Zavedanje sedanjega trenutka in Sprejemanje lastnega doživljanja. Koeficienti notranje skladnosti so bili za obe obliki PHLMS zadovoljivi. Lestvica je pokazala tudi ustrezno konvergentno veljavnost na podlagi pozitivne povezanosti z rezultatom Lestvice čuječne pozornosti in zavedanja (MAAS). Ugotavljanje razlik v čuječnosti po spolu nakazuje, da študenti dosegajo značilno višje rezultate pri podlestvici Sprejemanje lastnega doživljanja v primerjavi s študentkami, medtem ko ne opažamo razlik med spoloma pri podlestvici Zavedanje sedanjega trenutka. Slovenska oblika PHLMS predstavlja veljaven in zanesljiv pripomoček za preučevanje čuječnosti v visokošolskem izobraževalnem kontekstu.In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the effects of mindfulness practice on studentsʼ mental health, well-being, and academic outcomes. To investigate these effects, it is necessary to provide valid and reliable measures of mindfulness, which are lacking in Slovenia. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Slovenian version of the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS) and its short form in a university student sample (N = 570) aged 18 to 39. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the proposed two-factor structure of the scale (both long and short versions), allowing the measurement of two independent mindfulness dimensions: Present-moment awareness and Acceptance. Internal consistency coefficients were satisfactory for both versions of the PHLMS scale. The scale also showed adequate convergent validity based on its positive correlation with the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS). Regarding gender differences in mindfulness, male university students scored higher in the acceptance subscale than female colleagues, while there were no significant gender differences in the present-moment awareness subscale. The Slovenian version of the PHLMS represents a valid and reliable measure of mindfulness in the context of higher education
The role of chronic and acute power in public shaming on social networking sites
No full textJavno sramotenje na spletnih socialnih omrežjih postaja vse bolj razširjena oblika spletnega trpinčenja, ki ima izrazito negativne in daljnosežne posledice za tarče. Ključna značilnost javnega sramotenja na spletu je neravnovesje moči med tarčo sramotenja in množico, ki sramotenje izvaja. Čeprav so posamezniki v množici lahko posamezno nemočni v primerjavi s tarčo, kot množica nanjo vršijo izjemne pritiske. Sodelovanje v javnem sramotenju je torej priložnost za izkustvo moči ne glede na posameznikovo kronično raven moči. V raziskavi smo preučevali interakcijski učinek med kronično in akutno močjo na sovražnost, naklonjenost javnemu sramotenju in dejansko javno sramotenje. Udeležence (N = 192, uporabniki socialnih omrežij iz Velike Britanije) smo naključno dodelili pogoju visoke oziroma nizke akutne moči ter jim prikazali sporno spletno objavo neznanke, na katero so se lahko odzvali. Rezultati so pokazali, da se kronična moč sama po sebi ni povezovala s sovražnostjo, naklonjenostjo do sramotenja in izključevanja ali s sramotenjem, vendar so se učinki pokazali v interakciji z akutno močjo, ki smo jo eksperimentalno manipulirali. Ko se pogoja kronične in akutne moči nista skladala, so udeleženci poročali o večji sovražnosti, ta pa je napovedovala večjo naklonjenost sramotenju in izključevanju. Učinek je bil izrazitejši pri kronično nemočnih posameznikih. Raziskava kaže na pomembnost razlikovanja med različnimi oblikami socialne moči in prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju doslej empirično neraziskane vloge socialne moči v javnem sramotenju.Public shaming on social networking sites has become an increasingly widespread form of cyberbullying, with profound and far-reaching consequences for those affected. A key characteristic of online public shaming is the power imbalance between the target of shaming and the mob. The individuals who are part of the mob may be individually powerless compared to the target, but as a mob they exert enormous pressure on the target. Thus, participation in public shaming is an opportunity to experience power, regardless of one’s actual level of power (chronic power). In this study, we examined the interaction effect between chronic and acute power on hostility, support for public shaming, and actual public shaming behaviour. Participants (N = 192, UK social media users) were randomly assigned to conditions of high or low acute power and shown a controversial online post by a stranger to which they could respond. Results showed that chronic power alone was not associated with hostility, support for public shaming and ostracism, or with shaming behaviourhowever, the effects emerged in interaction with acute power, which we manipulated experimentally. Participants reported higher levels of hostility when chronic and acute power conditions were not aligned, and this hostility predicted greater support for shaming and ostracising the target. This effect was more pronounced in chronically powerless individuals. The study underscores the importance of distinguishing between different forms of social power and contributes to a better understanding of the empirically underexplored role of social power in public shaming
Govor kot osrednje kompozicijsko in dramaturško sredstvo: primer Milerjeve uprizoritve Susn
No full textPrispevek prikaže proces oblikovanja igralskega govornega izraza v uprizoritvi Susn (1993) Herberta Achternbuscha v režiji Eduarda Milerja in izvedbi Slovenskega mladinskega gledališča. Preučevanje je temeljilo na avditivni in vizualni analizi posnete uprizoritve, pri čemer je bil poudarek na opazovanju redukcije teksta, razbitja tradicionalnih jezikovno-govornih konceptov: razkroja na tekstovni (strukturni, vsebinski) in jezikovno-govorni ravni. Ugotovitve so na nekaterih mestih preverjene in podkrepljene z informacijami, pridobljenimi iz intervjuja z Marinko Štern, eno izmed štirih igralk, ki so upodobile lik Susn.This article presents the process of developing actors’ speech expression in the performance of Susn (1993) by Herbert Achternbusch, directed by Eduard Miler and performed by the Slovenian Youth Theater. The study was based on an auditory and visual analysis of recorded performance, with an emphasis on observing the reduction of the text and the fragmentation of traditional language and speech concepts: decomposition at the textual (structural, content) and language and speech levels. In some instances, the findings are verified and supported by information obtained from an interview with Marinka Štern, one of the four actresses that portrayed the character Susn
Pomen in estetska vloga smrti v medkulturnem kontekstu do konca slovenske literarne moderne
No full textPrispevek najprej pojasni a) razliko med smrtjo kot (ne)končnim stanjem in Smrtjo kot nosilcem (ne)končnega stanja, b) koncept estetike grdega ter c) stičišče smrti/Smrti in estetike grdega. Nato predstavi umestitev smrti/Smrti v kontekst krščanstva in literarnozgodovinskega obdobja moderne, čemur sledijo posamični primeri verznih besedil Cankarja, Ketteja, Murna in Župančiča, ki vsebujejo tako smrt/Smrt kot s smrtjo/Smrtjo povezane »moderne« pojave.This article first explains a) the difference between death as a (non)final state and Death as the bearer of a (non)final state, b) the concept of the aesthetics of ugliness, and c) the intersection of death/Death and the aesthetics of ugliness. The placement of death/Death in the context of Christianity and the literary-historical period of modernity is then presented, followed by some individual examples of verse texts by Cankar, Kette, Murn, and Župančič that contain death/Death and other "modern" phenomena related to death/Death
Preparation of the laboratory for accreditation according to the standard ISO 15189
No full textNamen magistrske naloge je bila teoretična priprava medicinskega laboratorija na akreditacijo po standardu ISO 15189 in ugotovitve predstaviti na način, da bi drugim olajšali postopek. Sistematično smo pregledali literaturo, da smo našli vire, ki bi nam pomagali pri postopku priprave. Iz strokovnih člankov smo ugotovili, s katerimi izzivi so se soočali laboratoriji po svetu, pri vpeljavi zahtev standarda ISO 15189. Nato smo izvedli analizo stanja pripravljenosti na akreditacijo dveh laboratorijev, enega na primarnem in drugega na terciarnem nivoju zdravstvenega sistema. Primerjali smo izzive med laboratorijema in ponudili možne rešitve za dosego skladnosti. Ugotovili smo, da je priprava jasnega in jedrnatega navodila, ki bi veljala za vsak laboratorij zelo zahtevna naloga.The aim of the master’s thesis was the theoretical preparation of a medical laboratory for accreditation according to the ISO 15189 standard and present our findings in a way to help others in the same situation. We systematically reviewed the literature to identify sources that would assist us in the preparation process. We identified the challenges laboratories around the world faced when implementing the requirements of the ISO 15189 standard from published articles. We then conducted an analysis of the state of preparedness for accreditation in two laboratories—one at the primary level and the other at the tertiary level of the healthcare system. We compared the challenges between the two laboratories and proposed possible solutions for achieving compliance. We found that preparing clear and concise guidelines applicable to every laboratory is a very complex task
Resilience and the afterlives of events
No full textResilience is frequently mobilized in heritage discourse as a systemic capacity for stability
and recovery. This article critically interrogates resilience as a managerial rationality
imported into archaeological and heritage practice, often without sufficient attention to
its epistemological and political implications. Drawing on assemblage theory and the
concept of the event, it reframes resilience archaeologically as a material effect of relations
among people, things, practices, and landscapes. Rather than evaluating the persistence of
bounded entities, resilience is approached through material reconfigurations, ruptures, and
continuities that leave durable traces in the archaeological record. This perspective clarifies
how processes commonly described as collapse, reorganization, or emergence become
archaeologically legible, and why not all disturbances constitute events. The article then
examines heritage as the afterlife of events, conceptualized as an assemblage that stabilizes
rupture through practices of conservation, commemoration, and care. Heritage endurance
is neither automatic nor neutral, but contingent on ongoing work and embedded in relations
of power. The article concludes by reflecting on the ethical and political limits of resilience
in contexts of crisis and inequality, arguing for a reflexive, assemblage-based understanding
of heritage focused on processes of reorganization rather than managerial equilibrium
