Interview with Michael Novak, philosopher, educator and author
No full textMichael Novak, at the time of this interview, was an associate professor of philosophy and religious studies at the State University of New York-Westbury and author of The Rise of the Unmeltable Ethnic. Novak believes that the tragedy of the American education system is that it separates people from their roots and creates a schism between the educated and the uneducated. In this interview with WTMJ-TV host Jim Peck, Novak describes what he sees as two major trends on the current American scene: the increasing growth of metropolitan government coupled with a general move toward family and community self-sufficiency.GrayscaleSoun
Personal and Biobibliography of the Slovenian Author Lojze Novak
No full textABSTRACTPurpose: The article explores the life and work of the Slovenian author Lojze Novak in order to get more recognition of the author in Slovenia. The article initially deals with the publishing activities of Argentina\u27s diaspora. Methodology/approach: In order to create the bibliography the following bibliographic methods were used: searching and collecting the Novak´s works, bibliographic description as well as the arrangement of his opus. Novak´s works were obtained from Argentina, specifically from the Tine Debeljak legacy, Novak’s descendants, his contemporaries, friends and acquaintances, and from the National and University Library (NUK). Bibliographic descriptions are based on the primary documents therefore the data are accurate and verified. Bibliographic descriptions follow the Guidelines for the application of the ISBDs to the description of component parts (1998). Novak\u27s personal bibliography includes 60 units arranged into published (52) and unpublished (8) works. Published works which consist of works of fiction (46) and nonfiction (6) are arranged chronologically by the publication year whereas within each year they are organised alphabetically. Novak´s biobibliography which includes 6 works and is arranged chronologically has also been produced through this process. Results: Since the author Lojze Novak has not won recognition in Slovenia yet, he has been introduced to our country by the personal bibliography and biobibliography that resulted from this research. Originality/practical implications: By doing the research into Novak´s opus eight of his unpublished works in manuscript form were discovered and included in his primary personal bibliography. It is therefore a comprehensive bibliography in the field.IZVLEČEKNamen: Prispevek želi predstaviti življenje in delo slovenskega pisatelja Lojzeta Novaka ter pripomoči k njegovi boljši prepoznavnosti.

No full textEkonomiskās drošības līmenis Latvijā globalizācijas kontekstā. Darba autors Jānis Supe. Darba vadītāja Dr.oec. profesore Baiba Šavriņa.
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt ekonomiskās drošības līmeņa izmaiņas Latvijā globalizācijas ietekmē. Autors veicis plašu literatūras par ekonomisko drošību analīzi un uz tās pamata pēc dažādām metodēm aprēķinājis Latvijas ekonomisko drošību. Secināts, ka globalizācijai ir diferencēta ietekme uz Latvijas ekonomisko drošību. Pēc iestāšanās Eiropas Savienībā Latvijas valsts un iedzīvotāju ekonomiskā drošība kopumā paaugstinājusies, bet globālās finanšu krīzes laikā – samazinājusies. Ekonomisko drošību negatīvi ietekmējošie faktori ir spēcīgāki par pozitīvi ietekmējošajiem faktoriem.

Perioperative Management of Patients with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) - An Anesthesiologist, s Point of View
No full textBolnik s peritonealno karcinozo, zdravljen s sistemsko kemoterapijo, ima slabo napoved in preživetje nekaj mesecev. V zadnjih letih je postala hipertermična intraperitonealna kemoterapija (HIPEC) po popolni kirurški odstranitvi tumorja možen način zdravljenja karcinoze peritoneja, ki znatno podaljša preživetje bolnikov z območno napredovalo obliko več vrst tumorjev. Opisani so perioperativno anesteziološko vodenje bolnikov in značilnosti prvih 11 posegov s HIPEC, opravljenih na Onkološkem inštitutu v Ljubljani v preteklem letu.The diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis is often associated with poor prognosis and a median survival of a few months, depending on the primary tumor. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after complete surgical resection is currently accepted as a therapeutic option for peritoneal carcinomatosis and it considerably prolongs the survival in several tumor types with peritoneal spread. Perioperative anaesthetic management of the patients undergoing such procedure is described and characteristics of the first 11 HIPEC procedures, performed at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana in 2009, are presented
A Translation of Selected Short Stories by Helga M. Novak
No full textThis project is a translation of twenty short stories by Helga Novak, a contemporary author born in eastern Berlin. The stories were all written between 1965 and 1980. They are divided into four sections: Fish Factory, Carpet Weaving, Traveling, and Sojourn in a Crazy House. The first three sections consist of very short stories, approximately one page long, taken from Novak\u27s collection called Geselliges Beisammensein (Social Gathering). The last section is made up of three longer stories, each about 10 pages long, taken from Aufenthalt in einem irren Haus (Sojourn in a Crazy House), which represent some of Novak\u27s later work. I have also included a translator\u27s introduction, relating some of my experiences in translating a longer work and my position in the discourse of translation theory
