    Namen diplomskega dela je bil na podlagi računalniške raziskave odkriti morebitno korelacijo med hitrostjo govora in dolžino premora v spikerskem govoru. V delu je uvodoma opredeljen govor profesionalnih govorcev na televiziji, nato sta predstavljena besedilnofonetična parametra hitrost govora in premor, ki jima sledijo opis, potek, rezultati in analiza raziskave. V okviru raziskave smo proučili govor štirih televizijskih voditeljev: po enega moškega in ženskega dnevnoinformativne oddaje 24ur ter Dnevnik. Zaradi tovrstne izbire govorcev smo lahko primerjali govor tako med oddajama kot med spoloma. Govor smo transkribirali in analizirali s pomočjo računalniškega programa Praat. Raziskava obsega analizo 1262 govornih segmentov, na podlagi katerih smo izračunali hitrost govora, in 1270 premorov.The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was to discover the possible correlation between the speech rate and pause duration in newscaster speech based on computer research. The thesis opens with a definition of the professional newscaster speech, and then provides a description of two prosodic parameters – speech rate and pause, followed by the description, conduct, results and analysis of the research. In the context of our research, we studied the speech of four television newscasters: a male and female one from each of the two news broadcasts – 24ur and Dnevnik. Such a choice of speakers enabled us to compare the speech between the two broadcasts as well as between the sexes. The speech was transcribed and analysed by means of the computer programme Praat. The research comprises an analysis of 1262 speech segments, which has served as a basis for the calculation of speech rate, and 1270 pauses

    Legislation concerning the energy efficiency of new buildings is getting more and more strict, on the other hand, the price of the energy resources is in the long term gone continue to rise, so that is why it seems that an investment in the nearly zero-energy masonry building is a right investment. In addition to high living comfort, the costs for heating and maintenance of nearly zero-energy masonry buildings are low. In the graduation thesis I present the launch and the development of the construction of nearly zero-energy buildings, the building technology and the details that are important in the construction. In the continuation of the thesis I conduct an analysis of the costs of construction and operation of nearly zero-energy masonry buildings and classical masonry buildings and compare them. After the comparison I, using the obtained data, calculate the repayment period of the investment into the nearly zero-energy masonry building. In the thesis I also present the results of a questionnaire that the investors in the nearly zero-energy masonry buildings answered, as well as the recommendations for future investors in the nearly zero-energy masonry buildings

    Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je analizirati vlogo in dejavnosti Uprave za notranje zadeve Krško v času akcije »Sever« v letu 1989, v kateri je imela ta uprava eno od ključnih vlog pri preprečitvi prihoda udeležencev mitinga v Ljubljano. Metodologija: V skladu z namenom prispevka so bile uporabljene ključne kvalitativne metode in predvsem analiza vsebin primarnih in sekundarnih pisnih virov ter dokumentov, povezanih z akcijo »Sever«. Analiza je obsegala tudi temeljit vpogled in oceno dejavnosti takratne milice v Posavju. Ugotovitve: Ugotovitve kažejo, da je bila akcija »Sever« izjemnega pomena za pridobitev višje stopnje samozavesti in medsebojnega zaupanja vseh pripadnikov organov za notranje zadeve, ki so v akciji sodelovali. V organizacijskem smislu je bila ta akcija generalka za delovanje v osamosvojitveni vojni oziroma v vseh poznejših dogodkih, povezanih z osamosvojitvijo Slovenije. Akcija »Sever« je bila nesporno ena od pomembnih sestavin osamosvojitvenih procesov. Milica je pri načrtovanju in izvajanju nalog na območju Posavja pridobila bogate izkušnje za racionalno uporabo razpoložljivih sil in sredstev, izkušnje pri sklicu in večjih premikih njenih pripadnikov na večjih razdaljah ter pri nastanitvi in oskrbi enot z materialnotehničnimi sredstvi in prehrano, ne nazadnje pa so različne službe znotraj Uprave za notranje zadeve Krško pridobile bogate izkušnje v medsebojnem koordiniranju in usklajenem delovanju. Ugotovljena je bila velika stopnja odgovornosti, strokovnosti in pripravljenosti za izvedbo naloženih nalog vseh sodelujočih, vključno s 100-odstotnim odzivom v mobilizaciji. Pomembno je bilo spoznanje, da je celotno prebivalstvo milico kar najbolj podpiralo in ji pomagalo pri izvajanju varnostnih nalog. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave: Ugotovitve analize se nanašajo izključno na milico in druge notranje organizacijske enote UNZ Krško in organov za notranje zadeve nasploh v času akcije »Sever« v letu 1989. Uporabnost analize je zelo pomembna tudi za razumevanje vloge milice in drugih organizacijskih enot UNZ Krško v času akcije »Sever« in pri drugih osamosvojitvenih procesih. Praktična uporabnost: Ugotovitve analize bodo uporabne kot prispevek k dokumentiranju pomembne vloge miličnikov in drugih delavcev UNZ Krško v osamosvojitvenih procesih in akciji »Sever«. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Vloga UNZ Krško oziroma milice v Posavju v akciji »Sever« je s tem prispevkom prvič analizirana in predstavljena.Purpose: The purpose of the article is to analyse the role and activities of the Krško Internal Affairs Administration during Operation »Sever« in 1989, in which it played one of the key roles in the prevention of the arrival of the rally participants in Ljubljana. Methodology: In accordance with the purpose of the article, key qualitative methods and especially an analysis of the contents of primary and secondary written sources as well as documents related to Operation »Sever« were used. The analysis also comprised a thorough inspection and assessment of the activities of the then police in the Posavje region. Findings: The findings show that Operation »Sever« was extremely important for the achievement of a higher level of self-confidence and the mutual trust of all the members of the internal affairs bodies who participated in Operation »Sever«. From the organizational point of view, it was a rehearsal for the activities carried out during the war for independence and for all later events connected with Slovenia gaining independence. Operation »Sever« was indisputably one of the most important elements of the independence process. When planning and carrying out the tasks of the police force in the territory of the Posavje region, the police force gained rich experience in relation to the efficient use of the forces and funds available, experience in calling up members of the force and in realising the movement of members of the police force over large distances, in accommodating and supplying units with material and technical facilities as well as with food, and, furthermore, the police force also gained rich experience in relation to the mutual coordination and coordinated operation of various services of the Krško Internal Affairs Administration. A high level of responsibility, proficiency, and the willingness of all participants to carry out their assigned tasks was established, which included a 100% response during the mobilization. It is important to realise that the whole population supported and assisted the police force in the performance of its security duties to the maximum extent possible. Research limitations/implications: The findings of the analysis refer solely to the police force and other internal organizational units of the Krško Internal Affairs Administration and to the internal affairs bodies in general during Operation »Sever« in 1989. The implications of the analysis are very important also for an understanding of the role of the police and other organizational units of the Krško Internal Affairs Administration during Operation »Sever« and during other independence processes. Practical implications: The findings of the analysis will be useful as a contribution to documenting the important role of police officers and other workers at the Krško Internal Affairs Administration during the independence process and Operation »Sever«. Originality/Value: The role of the Krško Internal Affairs Administration or rather the police force in the Posavje region during Operation »Sever« is here analysed and presented for the first time

    Geographical characteristics of creative industries in the suburban area, the case of the municipality of Grosuplje

    No full text
    Kreativne industrije v suburbanih območjih so hitro rastoč in razvijajoč se pojav, vendar so v domači in tuji literaturi pogosto zapostavljene. S pomočjo anketiranja smo anketirali vsa kreativna podjetja v občini Grosuplje, pridobili pa smo 54 izpolnjenih anket. V raziskavi smo ugotovili, da ima 54 % anketiranih podjetij svoj sedež v mestu Grosuplje, preostalih 41 % pa v okoliških naseljih (5 % odgovorov je bilo neustreznih). Ugotovili smo tudi, da število kreativnih podjetij z leti narašča, da vsa podjetja spadajo med mikropodjetja in da se jih največ ukvarja z računalništvom, najmanj pa z založništvom. Pomemben podatek je še, da se večina podjetij medsebojno povezuje znotraj panoge, veliko pa tudi izven panoge, največ na lokalni, regionalni in državni ravni. Za umeščanje kreativnih podjetij v občino Grosuplje so najpomembnejši lokacijski dejavniki, kot so prometne povezave, informacijska in telekomunikacijska infrastruktura, kvaliteta bivalnega okolja, dostop do prostočasnih aktivnosti, identiteta, možnost medsebojnega povezovanja znotraj panog ipd. Največ anketiranih podjetij ima produkte oz. storitve z ekonomsko vrednostjo in značajem intelektualne lastnine, 96 % anketiranih kreativnih podjetij pa meni, da so njihovi produkti oz. storitve kreativni.Creative industries in suburban areas are a fast-growing and evolving phenomenon, but are often neglected in domestic and foreign literature. With the survey methodology, we surveyed all creative companies in the municipality of Grosuplje and obtained 54 completed surveys. With the research, we found that 54 % of the surveyed creative companies have their registered seat of a company in the town of Grosuplje, and the remaining 41 % in the surrounding settlements. The research showed that the number of creative companies has grown over the years, that all the companies are micro-companies and that they are most commonly engaged in the computer sector and least common in the publishing sector. Another important finding is that most companies network with each other within their sector, but also many networks outside their sector, mostly on the local regional, and national levels. The most important location factors for the placement of creative companies in the municipality of Grosuplje are transport connections, information and telecommunication infrastructure, quality of the living environment, access to outdoor recreation, the possibility of networking within sectors, identity, etc. Most of the surveyed companies have products or services with economic value and a character of intellectual property, and 96 % of the surveyed creative industries believe that their products or services are creative

    Diplomsko delo obravnava verske skupine v Siriji, njihovo učinkovanje na sirsko družbo in učinke, ki vplivajo na njihove spremembe. Sirija je zaradi naravno- in družbenogeografskih, političnih in zgodovinskih razlogov etnično in versko zelo pestra država. Poleg prevladujočega sunizma v njej deluje več drugih islamskih denominacij, številne krščanske ločine (katoliške, pravoslavne, protestantske in druge) ter druga verstva. Zaradi državljanske vojne državo pretresata verski fundamentalizem in močno migriranje, ki vplivata na versko strukturo Sirije. Delo vsebuje opredelitev religije in verskih skupin, krajši geografski in zgodovinski oris države, natančen pregled etničnih in verskih skupin v Siriji ter vpliv državljanske vojne na velikost in strukturo verskih skupin.The bachelor’s thesis discusses religious groups in Syria, their effects on Syrian society, and effects that change the groups in question. Because of physical and social geographical, political and historical reasons, Syria is an ethnically and religiously very diverse country. Besides the prevailing Sunnism, there are many other Islamic denominations, numerous Christian branches (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, etc.) and other religions. Due to the civil war, the country is facing religious fundamentalism and a mass migration, which effects the structure of religion in Syria. The thesis comprises a description of religion and religious groups, a short geographical and historical outline of the country, a detailed overview of ethnic and religious groups in Syria, and the effect of the civil war on the size and structure of religious groups

    “Hattak Vpi Homma” mvt Miha Nanta Fehna? What Does “Native American” Really Mean?

    Indigenous identities in North America are much more complex than generally assumed. No single definition of “Native (American),” “(American) Indian,” or related terms provides a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that accurately or usefully describe all and only the right individuals and communities. I argue that understanding Native identities in the contemporary context requires examining multiple interconnected dimensions of Nativeness, articulated here as Enrollment and Recognition, Tribal Ethnicities, Native Race, Indian Panethnicity, and Indigenous Nationhood. In the U.S., Indigenous identities are usually oversimplified as either Enrollment in a Recognized Tribe or as Native Race. While both of these aspects of Nativeness are undeniably important, neither alone (or both jointly) can offer a complete picture of Native identity that is useful and accurate. A fuller understanding of Nativeness also includes Tribal Ethnicities, Indian Panethnicity, and Indigenous Nationhood. Different individuals—including the author—may rightly be considered Native in one sense and not-Native in another. Right now, these aspects of Nativeness are like a tangled net, with different aspects often being elided or confused one for another in ways that harm and erase Natives and sever settler colonial projects. Making sense of Native identities requires examining them in light of Indigenous social ontologies that are fundamentally relational and conceive of persons and the land as constitutively interconnected by kinship relations defined by reciprocal responsibilities. Each aspect of Nativeness articulated in this dissertation is an expression of Native social ontologies, a response to the settler colonial suppression of Native ways of life, or a combination thereof. Enrollment and Recognition is a crucial expression of tribes’ sovereignty, yet this legal status is directly tied to Western social ontological views and ultimately subject to settler governments’ authority. Tribal Ethnicities capture the way Native peoples are not exclusively political or institutional entities but also intergenerational ethnic families whose persistence transcends national, racial, and legal boundaries and permeates everyday life. Native Race is the shared racial identity thrust upon diverse Indigenous groups by settler colonial attempts to eliminate all other aspects of Nativeness. Properly understood, Native race has little to do with either phenotype or genetics, but rather turns on vulnerability to antinative racism—and solidaristic resistance to racism. Indian Panethnicity is a response to shared racialized experiences of both suffering and activism, and the resulting growth of shared kinship and culture across tribal lines. Instead of eliding specific tribal ethnic or national identities with a homogenized Indianness, Panethnicity arises in part through the shared experience of defending precarious ethnic and national identities. Finally, Indigenous Nationhood means exercising sovereignty in accordance with the kinship responsibilities of specific Indigenous political communities with the land. Decolonization does not aim at sovereignty as power over lands or citizens, but sovereignty as power to shape Indigenous futures in which peoples and lands are free to fulfill their responsibilities to each other. My goal is to disentangle this conceptual net, providing useful explanations of these interconnected aspects of Nativeness. Each way of using the term “Native” exists only amid the context of the other uses; no one concept of Nativeness is ontologically prior to the others, but they are all needed to make sense of Native identities today. As for the question that titles this dissertation: “Hattak Vpi Homma” mvt Miha Nanta Fehna? What does “Native American” really mean? It means we are still here. We were always here, and we always will be
