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 Novak\u27s personal bibliography includes 60 units arranged into published (52) and unpublished (8) works.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 Originality/practical implications: By doing the research into Novak´s opus eight of his unpublished works in manuscript form were discovered and included in his primary personal bibliography.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
Robert Novak
No full textRobert Novak (February 26, 1931 – August 18, 2009) was an American syndicated columnist, journalist, television personality, author, and conservative political commentator. After working for two newspapers before serving for the U.S. Army in the Korean War, he became a reporter for the Associated Press and then for The Wall Street Journal. He teamed up with Rowland Evans in 1963 to start Inside Report, which became the longest running syndicated political column in U.S. history and ran in hundreds of papers. They also started the Evans-Novak Political Report, a notable biweekly newsletter, in 1967. Novak and Evans played a significant role for CNN after the network\u27s founding. He worked as a well-known television personality in programs such as Capital Gang, Crossfire, and Evans, Novak, Hunt, & Shields. He also wrote for numerous other publications such as Reader\u27s Digest.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/nsudigital_forums/1075/thumbnail.jp
Zbirka Novak kao inspiracija: Osobitosti nekih rijetkih karata priobalja sjeverne i srednje Dalmacije i uloga domaćih kartografa u njihovu nastanku
No full textThe article is a tribute to the ideas and efforts of Prof. Dr. Drago Novak, who founded and compiled the Novak Map Collection (Zbirka Novak). As a world traveller and professional radiologist, he was also a cartographer, collector and lover of old maps. The author also analyses some original, early, modern maps of the Dalmatian coastline and the role of local cartographers and copperplate engravers (Martin Rota and Natale Bonifacio) in the production of these maps and their significance for further cartographic development. Tekst je nastao u namjeri da se njime oda dužno poštovanje ideji i velikom trudu koji je svjetski putnik, liječnik rendgenolog, ali i kartograf, kolekcionar i zaljubljenik u stare karte, prof. dr. Drago Novak uložio u nastanak kartografske Zbirke Novak. Ujedno autorica analizira neke od rijetkih izvornih karata dalmatinskog priobalja iz ranoga novog vijeka, ulogu domaćih kartografa i grafičara (Martina Rote i Natala Bonifacija) u nastanku tih karata te njihov utjecaj na daljnji razvoj kartografije.

Measurement and comparison of basic characteristics of laboratory synchronous machines with cylindrical and salient pole rotors
No full textV diplomski nalogi sta predstavljena in analizirana dva laboratorijska sinhronska stroja nazivne moči 0,3 kVA. Obravnavana stroja se razlikujeta po zgradbi rotorja in spadata v skupini sinhronskih strojev s cilindričnim rotorjem ter sinhronskih strojev z izraženimi poli. V okviru diplomskega dela je najprej predstavljeno teoretično ozadje, iz katerega so razvidne osnovne razlike delovanja obeh strojev. V nadaljevanju je predstavljen laboratorijski sistem, na osnovi katerega je bila izvedena eksperimentalna analiza obeh strojev. S pomočjo opisanega laboratorijskega sistema so bili izvedeni osnovni standardni preizkusi v prostem teku, kratkem stiku ter v paralelnem obratovanju sinhronskih strojev z omrežjem. Na podlagi preizkusov je izvedena primerjava obeh tipov strojev. S pomočjo meritev sta določena obratovalna diagrama obeh strojev. Nadalje je opisan postopek izrisa krivulj V, karakteristik faktorja delavnosti ter regulacijskih karakteristik na osnovi izmerjenih obratovalnih diagramov in primerjava dobljenih rezultatov.In this thesis, two laboratory synchronous machines with a nominal power of 0.3 kVA are presented and analyzed. The discussed machines have different rotor construction and therefore belong in the groups of synchronous machines with cylindrical rotors and synchronous machines with salient pole rotors, respectively. In the thesis, first the theoretical backgruond is used to explain the basic differences in the operation of both machines. Next, a laboratory system is described, which was used to perform the experimental analysis. Using this laboratory system, basic standard tests including the no load test, short circuit test and paralell operation of synchronous machines with the grid were carried out. On the basis of the discussed tests, a comparison of both machine types are performed. Furthermore, the process of deriving the V curves, the power factor characteristcs and regulation characteristics based on the measured capability diagram is presented, whereas the obtained results are discussed in detail
