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 Novak\u27s personal bibliography includes 60 units arranged into published (52) and unpublished (8) works.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 Originality/practical implications: By doing the research into Novak´s opus eight of his unpublished works in manuscript form were discovered and included in his primary personal bibliography.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. Rojen je bil v Prekmurju in je kasneje emigriral v Argentino, kjer je ustvarjal predvsem kratko prozo. Obravnavana je tudi publicistična dejavnost argentinske diaspore. Metodologija: Za izdelavo bibliografije so bile uporabljene naslednje bibliografske metode: iskanje in zbiranje Novakovih del, bibliografski opis ter ureditev. Novakova dela so bila pridobljena iz Argentine, natančneje iz zapuščine Tineta Debeljaka, ter od Novakovih potomcev in še živečih vrstnikov, prijateljev in znancev, nekaj pa tudi iz Narodne in univerzitetne knjižnice. Bibliografski opisi temeljijo na primarnih dokumentih, zato so podatki natančni in preverjeni. Bibliografski opisi del so izdelani na osnovi Smernic za uporabo ISBD-jev pri opisu sestavnih delov (1998). Rezultati: Novakova osebna bibliografija, ki skupaj obsega 60 enot, je urejena glede na objavljena (52) in neobjavljena dela (8). Objavljena dela so razdeljena na leposlovna (46) in neleposlovna (6) dela, znotraj tega je ureditev kronološka po letnicah, v okviru posamezne letnice pa po abecedi naslovov del. Izdelana je tudi Novakova objektivna bibliografija, ki obsega šest del, in je urejena kronološko.Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: Novakova osebna, primarna bibliografija je sedaj nadgrajena z osmimi neobjavljenimi deli v obliki rokopisov. Bibliografija je izčrpna

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

Experiencing of the first pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period
No full textV pričujočem magistrskem delu avtorica raziskuje čustveno doživljanje prve nosečnosti, poroda in poporodnega obdobja pri materah. V teoretičnem delu magistrskega dela predstavi ključne dogodke in fiziološki proces nosečnosti. Osredotoči se na doživljanje ženske v prvi nosečnosti, opiše spremembe na njenih možganih, na telesu, hormonske spremembe in z njimi povezane čustvene spremembe ter nihanje razpoloženja. Predstavi sprejemanje sebe in lastnega spreminjajočega se telesa ter pomembnost partnerjeve podpore v času nosečnosti. Predstavi pomen vzpostavljanja odnosa z otrokom že tekom nosečnosti. Dotakne se tudi odnosa med nosečnico in njeno materjo med nosečnostjo. Predstavi čustvene in duševne stiske, ki se lahko pojavijo med nosečnostjo. V nadaljevanju predstavi pomembnost priprave na porod in opiše fiziološki potek poroda ter zdravstvene ukrepe ob nepravilnostih pri porodu. Opiše pomembnost prisotnosti partnerja pri porodu. V zadnjem delu teoretičnega dela predstavi poporodno obdobje ter z njim povezane spremembe na fizičnem in psihičnem področju pri ženski. Predstavi dojenje kot ključni in osnovni stik z otrokom, odnos s partnerjem po porodu in na koncu sam odnos z otrokom.
V empiričnem delu s pomočjo kvalitativne fenomenološke metodologije avtorica raziskuje povezanost fenomena doživljanja nosečnosti, poroda in poporodnega obdobja. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih šest žensk, ki so prvič rodile pred več kot šestimi meseci in manj kot štirimi leti. Pet žensk je rodilo vaginalno, ena je imela urgentni carski rez. Na podlagi intervjujev, ki jih je avtorica opravila z udeleženkami, ugotavlja, kako so ženske doživljale fenomen prve nosečnosti, poroda in poporodnega obdobja in kako bi si lahko to izkušnjo še izboljšale in olajšale. Rezultati so pokazali, da so ženske večinoma dobro sprejemale svoje spreminjajoče se telo in v času nosečnosti dobile s partnerjeve strani veliko podpore. Partnerjeva podpora se je kot ključna izkazala tudi med porodom. Raziskava je pokazala, da je bil prvi stik z otrokom pri večini udeleženk začudenje in niso doživele navala pozitivnih čustev ob prvem srečanju z otrokom. Rezultati kažejo tudi, da so se ženske premalo pripravile na poporodno obdobje, ki jih je zelo presenetilo predvsem iz čustvenega in doživljajskega vidika. V tem obdobju se je za večino udeleženk kot ključna pri premagovanju izzivov spet izkazala partnerjeva podpora.In the present master\u27s thesis, the emotional experiences of first pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period of mothers who give birth are explored. The theoretical part of the master\u27s thesis presents the key events and the physiological process of pregnancy. The focus is on the experience of the pregnancy by a first-time mother, changes in her brain, body, hormonal changes and related emotional changes, and mood swings. Moreover, the author focuses on the acceptance of the physical and emotional changes, and the importance of the partner’s support during pregnancy. The importance of establishing a relationship with the child during pregnancy as well as the relationship between a pregnant woman and her mother during pregnancy are described in detail. The author also touches upon the emotional and mental distress that can occur during pregnancy. In addition, the importance of preparation for childbirth and the physiological course of childbirth are presented, as well as health measures in the event of congenital anomalies. The author also mentions the importance of a partner\u27s presence at birth. The last part of the theoretical part describes the postpartum period and related physical and emotional changes. The author presents breastfeeding as a crucial and basic contact with the child. Lastly, the relationships between the mother and her partner and child are described.
Using a qualitative phenomenological methodology, the connection between pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period of first-time mothers was investigated. The study included six women who gave birth for the first time more than six months ago and less than four years ago. Five women gave vaginal birth, and one had an emergency caesarean birth. Based on the findings of the interviews carried out by the author, it is determined how women experienced their first pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and how this experience could be further improved and facilitated. The results show that women mostly accepted their changing bodies and received a lot of support from their partners during pregnancy. Partner support has shown to be crucial during childbirth. The research showed that the first contact with the child was a surprise for most of the participants and they did not experience a surge of positive emotions when they first met the child. The results also show that women were not sufficiently prepared for the postpartum period and were surprised by it especially due to strong emotions and their own experiences. During this period, for most of the participants, the partner\u27s support proved to be central to overcoming the challenges
