Interactive system for music visualisation on the web
No full textDiplomska naloga se osredotoči na razvoj interaktivnega spletnega sistema, ki uporabniku omogoča in karseda olajša interaktivno upodabljanje glasbe na platno HTML (HTML canvas). Gre za sistem, preko katerega uporabnik manipulira s prikazano sliko na platnu, ter tako s pomočjo zvoka, ki se predvaja v ozadju, upodablja glasbo. Sam uporabniški vmesnik tega sistema mora biti enostaven, razumljiv ter predvsem prijazen do uporabnika, saj mora pri upodabljanju glasbe uporabnik hitro reagirati in nima časa za iskanje želenih funkcij vmesnika.
Sistem je predstavljen v obliki spletne strani. Za implementacijo se torej koristijo glavne spletne tehnologije, kot na primer HTML, JavaScript ter CSS. V tem okolju sta na voljo dva glavna načina interaktivne vizualizacije glasbe: v živo ali live, kar pomeni, da pri upodabljanju glasbe sodeluje več uporabnikov in solo ali samostojen način, kjer uporabnik sam upodablja glasbo in mu je tako na voljo več funkcij. Na voljo je tudi ogled ali prenos posnetka seje, v kateri se je upodabljala glasba na platno.This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of interactive web system, that is meant for sound vizualization. User can use this system to manipulate sound and displayed image, thus visualizing the sound on an HTML canvas. The user interface must be simple, understandable and above all user friendly, because while visualizing, user must react quickly and does not have the time to search for the desired functionality of the interface.
The system is presented in the form of a website, therefore, web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript and CSS are used for implementation. There are two main ways in which the user can visualize sound: live mode, in which there are number of users involved in the visualization and solo mode, where the user visualizes the sound by himself, therefore havinig access to other functions, which are not available in live mode. All vizualization sessions are of course recorded and can be later watched or downloaded
Komu (pravo) zvoni? O pravnem in družbenopolitičnem izključevanju nedokumentiranih migrantov [For Whom the Law Tolls? On Legal and Sociopolitical Exclusion of Undocumented Immigrants]
No full textThe author examines the reasons for the undocumented immigrants’ vulnerability in their host countries. He claims that the main reason for this is the illegality of their residence on the territory of a particular country. The latter assumes the role of an all-determining legal status which, among other, exposes the undocumented immigrants to a high degree of arbitrariness in their contacts with host country frontline legal officials. Moreover, the social environmentn into which they come is often saturated with false claims about their intentions, deliberate perpetuation of negative stereotypes and widespread fearmongering against foreigners. Thus, the author argues that arbitrariness as a mechanism of legal exclusion of undocumented immigrants is often complemented and reinforced by mechanisms of their socio-political exclusion. The paper examines the characteristics of these exclusionary mechanisms and demonstrates how they complement one another. In pursuit of this goal, the author combines a legal-philosophical analysis of the relevant legal phenomena with a sociological and political science analysis of the language practices which form in reference to undocumented immigrants. Finally, in the second part of the article, he tests the theses and the methodological approach from the first part on the case of the Erased in Slovenia. He concludes by arguing that the exclusion of undocumented immigrants is a complex legal and sociopolitical phenomenon
Legality on the Frontlines of Administrative Decision-Making
No full textIn this essay, the author deals with the decision-making practices of frontline administrative officials. In particular, he examines how administrative circulars become the primary source of these officials’ decision-making norms, even when their content may be in contrast with hierarchically superior sources of law. The disposition of frontline officials to resort primarily to internal orders of hierarchically superior officials is explained as a consequence of the joint influence of several organizational principles upon their mental faculties. After introducing the problem and its relevance for legal theory, the author first defends the methodological approach to which he subscribes. Thereafter, he presents the central categories and organizational principles framing the institutional operations of public administrations. Finally, he provides a psychologically-informed explanation of the influence exerted by these principles upon the mental faculties of frontline officials which underpin the latter’s preference for the use of administrative circulars as primary sources of decision-making norms
MATIJA ANTUN RELKOVIC’S GRAMMAR
No full textThis work presents some relatively extensive account and review of one of the oldest grammars in Croatian or Serbian language. The speech is about A New Slavonic and German Grammar by Matija Antun Relkovic printed in Zagreb for the first time in 1767. Special attention has been drawn to those parts of the description which are specific for Relkovic for some reason or other. Some characteristics have been considered (e. g. graphic solutions, the description of ani- mate/inanimate category, the description of noun morphology and the use of nouns, the advantage of contrastive description and the like) and deficiencies of the applied description (influence of German and Latin languages, terminological awkwardness and poverty, inadequate conception of the dictionary, insufficient linguistic knowledge of the author and the like). This grammar has been compared with other older grammar books, especially with the first Croatian grammar by Bartol KaSic
The Non-Citizen. The Ins and Outs of Cittadini e no: forme e funzioni dell'inclusione e dell'esclusione by Patricia Mindus
No full textCitizenship has long been a heavily disputed topic, with the question «Who is the citizen?» generating much controversy both in academia and society at large. In her latest book, "Cittadini e no" (Firenze University Press, 2014), Patricia Mindus attempts to bring some much needed conceptual clarity to the debate. Having discerned three figures of the citizen which feature in the contemporary debate, the author proposes a general theory of citizenship, based upon Aristotle's treatment of citizenship in Book III of his Politics. This review briefly outlines the main characteristics of the proposed functional theory of citizenship and concludes with a critical comment regarding one of the arguments that Mindus advances
Le trasformazioni del diritto al tempo del Covid-19. Il caso sloveno
No full textThe paper analyses certain transformations in the production and application of the law during the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis focuses on Slovenia, although its claims and conclusions can easily be generalized. The author first claims that the Slovenian government securitized public health – a move which gave it access to a broad array of exceptional measures, without having to declare the state of emergency. Secondly, he illustrates how the management of the epidemic was “administrativized”. The administrativization of government is seen as a technique of governing which shifts the centre of decision-making activities towards executive agencies and substitute statutes for sub-statutory acts as the principle decision-making mechanism. This technique is seen as particularly problematic when applied to the curtailment of fundamental freedoms
The State of Emergency in the Slovenian Constitutional Design
No full textIn this article, the author presents the essential characteristics of the state of emergency regime in the Slovenian legal system and provides a critical evaluation thereof. First, he presents the relevant normative framework of the subject matter by analysing all critical stages in the management of an emergency (the declaration, the state of emergency itself and its termination). Then, he focuses on what in his view are two most significant problems of the current regulation and provides critical comments on each of them. He concludes by calling for a major overhaul of the emergency management system
All the Earth’s legal children. Some sceptical comments about Nature’s legal personhood
No full textThis essay aims to provide an introductory account of Earth Jurisprudence as a legal theory and to examine its claims regarding rights of nature. First, two versions of Earth Jurisprudence qua legal theory are identified: a stronger and a moderate version, respectively. Then, the theory’s claims regarding the rights of nature are examined from the perspective of the general theory of rights. The idea of ascribing legal rights to Nature tout court is rejected, while it is acknowledged that sentient animals could be considered persons in law. Finally, the author suggests that instead of rejecting anthropocentrism, as Earth Jurisprudence proposes, the preservation of nature requires that more emphasis is put on human obligations in this respect
Por quién doblan las campanas del Derecho? Sobre la exclusión jurídica y sociopolítica de los inmigrantes indocumentados.
No full textThis article takes as its starting point Robert Barsky’s book Undocumented Immigrants in an Era of Arbitrary Law. The Flight and the Plight of People Deemed “Illegal” (Routledge, 2016). In particular, it discusses two arguments sustained therein: first, that the irregular (illegal character of the undocumented immigrants’ legal status exposes them to arbitrariness in the application of the law by the host county’s “frontline” legal officials. Secondly, that arbitrariness as a mechanism of legal exclusion is typically supplemented and reinforced by mechanisms of socio-political exclusion. The author first analyses these exclusionary mechanisms, while in the latter part of the article, he analyses the case of the Erased in Slovenia, to test the theses and the methodology proposed in the previous part
