    V diplomskem delu je predstavljena sanacija cevovoda iz rezervoarja Šoštanj do revizijskega jaška na Levstikovi ulici v Šoštanju, kjer se cevovod razdeli na Termoelektrarno Šoštanj in na vodovod mesta Šoštanj. Zaradi starosti in dotrajanosti cevovoda je bila sanacija nujno potrebna, saj je bil cevovod zgrajen leta 1976. Stare dotrajane azbestno-cementne cevi so zamenjale nove plastične alkaten (PE-polietilen) cevi po metodi uvleka in vrivanja nove cevi v stare azbestno-cemente večjih dimenzij. V diplomskem delu je opisano obstoječe stanje odvodnega in dovodnega cevovoda pred sanacijo, projekt za izvedbo cevovoda, sama izvedba sanacije, materiali uporabljeni v projektu in končno stanje cevovoda po sanaciji v projektu izvedenih del. Prav tako so opisane spremembe med obstoječim stanjem jaška Termoelektrarne Šoštanj in končnim stanjem ter razlika med projektno dokumentacijo za izvedbo in projektno dokumentacijo izvedenih del.The diploma thesis presents the rehabilitation of the pipeline from the Šoštanj reservoir to the inspection shaft on Levstikova ulica in Šoštanj, where the pipeline is divided into the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant and the Šoštanj water supply system. Due to the age and dilapidation of the pipeline, rehabilitation was urgently needed as the pipeline was built in 1976. Old worn-out asbestos-cement pipes have been replaced by new plastic alkaten (PE-polyethylene) pipes using the method of drawing and inserting new pipes into old asbestos-cement pipes with larger dimensions. The diploma thesis describes the existing condition of the drain and supply pipeline before rehabilitation, the project for the implementation of the pipeline, the implementation of rehabilitation, materials used in the project, and the final condition of the pipeline after rehabilitation of the project. The changes between the existing condition of the shaft of the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant and the final condition are also described, as well as the difference between the project documentation for the execution and the project documentation of the performed works

    The haunted public sphere: women and the power of emotion in the works of Alexander Kluge and the films of the Berlin School

    My dissertation sheds light on the German filmmaker and author Alexander Kluge and his ideas on filmmaking as they evolved out of his conception of the public versus the private spheres since the early 1960s. It was Kluge’s contention that personal experiences of war and violence could not be expressed publicly in the postwar Federal Republic, causing a rift between the two realms and a haunting presence of trauma within individuals and society as a whole. What Kluge, in cooperation with Oskar Negt, called “alternative public sphere” in Public Sphere and Experience (1972) and History and Obstinacy (1981) is closely linked to Woman and so-called “proletarian” forces countering instrumental reason and the bourgeois cultural matrix. Analyzing four crucial films from Kluge’s creative work, I outline the increasingly allegorical role of his concept of “female mode of production,” which constitutes Kluge’s aesthetics and thematic focus. How the ideas of “alternative public sphere” and “female mode of production” are linked to the cinema and Kluge’s theory of film is the focus of another chapter that scrutinizes Kluge’s recent literary compilation Cinema Stories (2007). Finally, I read a selection of contemporary German films considered the new filmic avant-garde through the lens of Kluge’s approach to film, to the “female mode of production,” and to the public sphere. This allows me to compare the ethics, the formal and political attitude of the so-called Berlin School directors to the vanguard movement of Young German Film in the sixties and early seventies. I conclude that the filmic Autoren today deal with a similar problem as Alexander Kluge has done throughout his career, namely the dissociation of personal, lived experience from public representation. They also employ formal and thematic strategies that can be related to the thoughts behind the Oberhausen generation of German filmmakers. While the generation of the leftist student movements sought public recognition of the atrocities committed under National Socialism, the Berlin School directors deal with mediated experience in times of media and finance corporatism as virtual realities threaten to take over the empiric world.Ph.
