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

Remarks In Hadži’s original preparation, labelled “ Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer pulli”, with two cover glasses on the same microscope slide, there are two males and a female. One male corresponds to the type specimen of Nemastoma (Stridulostoma) seliskari Hadži, 1973 (Hadži 1973a). For this species, Hadži (ibid.) founded a new subgenus Stridulostoma based on the existence of an alleged “stridulatory organ” on the Fe III (Hadži 1973a: figs 37č–d). Gruber (1976: 797) explained that the stridulatory organ alone does not justify establishing of a new subgenus, especially because this new species differs from N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum Hadži, 1973 exclusively by possession of this organ, and accordingly, synonymized Stridulostoma with Nemastoma. Following these remarks, Schönhofer (2013: 36) synonymized N. seliskari with N. b. pluridentatum. We found that the portion of the Fe III, identified by Hadži (1973a) as a stridulatory organ in the type specimen, is in fact a depression-damage, caused by desiccation. Moreover, such damage is present in nearly all (sic!) the other femora of this freshly moulted specimen, but nothing resembles the fine lamellated structure shown in Hadži’s drawing (1973a: figs 37č–d). No similar structure was found in the specimens of Nemastoma collected later on Mt. Mirna gora. One might imagine that a careless inspection under a microscope at low magnification could result in the illusion of a ʻstridulatory organʼ. However, the drawing of its lamellae cannot be considered anything but a pure fabrication. Moreover, Pa-Fe in Hadži (1973a: fig. 33c), being under the same cover glass in the preparation, belongs to the same specimen, although Hadži (ibid.) ascribed it to N. (Lugubrostoma) triste pluridentatum.

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

Staut (observation): 1 ex. Diagnosis. Very small (1.1−1.4), highly specialized eyeless troglobiotic Hadzinia, characterized by its low ocular tubercle and long, thin appendages: basal cheliceral article 2/3 as long, and pedipalp 6-times as long as body. Pedipalp tarsus strongly bent ventrally. Glans with sparse, long, rod-like minute spines and a few conical minute spines. As far as has been established, H. ferrani sp. n. is endemic to the karst of Mt. Ulovka (801 m) in central Slovenia. Etymology. The species name ferrani is dedicated in honor of Milan Ferran (Ljubljana), who started the investigations within the Ferranova buža cave, and who discovered and collected the first specimen of this species. Description. Male, holotype: Body length 1.11, body tender, with scutum magnum. Color of body light beige (Figs 1, 2). Dorsum weakly sclerotized, with dense, short (up to 5 µm) mucronate, cuticular microtubercles (microtrichia) covering most of the cephalothorax and abdomen, gradually changing from microtrichia at the cephalothorax edges into dense tuberculate microgranula (Fig. 3). Ocular tubercle low but well pronounced, wider than long, starting half its length behind the anterior edge of the dorsal scutum. Cuticle of cephalothorax thicker in the center and thinner towards the edges, with scattered oval and irregularly shaped spots of thiner parts (Fig. 4). Eyes completely reduced, but former position indicated by round cuticular spots, where probably the reduced optical nerves emerged (seen under fluorescence; Fig. 4). Supracheliceral lamellae large, with straight frontal margin and mammillary tubercles, similar to those in female (Fig. 20) and H. karamani (Karaman, 2013, fig. 15). Coxae and ventral side of the body with sparse long setae in a transverse row close to the posterior border of each sternite (Figs 2, 21). Setae longest on pedipalp coxae. Chelicerae intense reddish-brown, long and slender (Figs 7, 9, 10), without apophysis and gland openings, resembling those of Nemaspela species. Lengths of basal article, distal article and movable finger, 0.78, 0.92 and 0.37, respectively. Basal segment basally and terminally widened, without apophysis and glandular pores, with an antero-superior group of three long bristles. Distal segment slender, elongated, frontally evenly set with long bristles, the longest ones as long as the article diameter. Fixed finger with two large black teeth and a series of 14 diaphanous teeth at the base; movable finger with six large teeth, becoming lower and longer towards the apex of the finger, and a series of 13 diaphanous teeth. Pedipalps light reddish-brown, without secondary sexual differences (Figs 6, 12), very long, slender, with scattered, very densely set clavate glandular setae on all articles, except trochanter, diminishing in size from femur till tarsus, and giving a voluminous appearance in living animals. Femur subterminally crooked ventrally, with a few dense short setae disto-dorsally. Patella as long as femur, distally slightly bent, with a group of short setae proximally and one long bristle distally. Tibia distally gradually narrowing. Tarsus long, slightly club-like and ventrally conspicuously bent at an angle of ca. 45°, with two long bristles. For lengths of articles, see Table 1. Legs (Fig. 5; Table 1) beige with darker article endings, very long and thin (L body: L leg II = 1: 22.7), with up to 22 pseudoarticulations (in metatarsus II). Claws simple, straight in preserved specimens (Fig. 5). Leg articles cylindrical, with dense cover of fine bristles, interspersed by few long ones (Fig. 5). Penis (Figs 8, 11; 21, here pay attention to protruding glans) longer than body (possibly caused by body shrinkage in alcohol), 1.22 long, glans 0.13, basis 0.20. Truncus dorsally bent, with nearly parallel margins, narrowest in the middle, slightly dorso-ventrally flattened. Basis straight, oval elongated, incised for about half its length. Glans brownish, elongated barrel-like and slightly wider than truncus, terminally truncated with a pair of conspicuous lateral humps encompassing medial furrow, with sparse long rod-like minute spines and few conical minute spines. Stylus emerging subapically, on the ventral side in the middle of terminal glans furrow between lateral humps (dorsal view). Female: Body length 1.40, whitish to slightly reddish-brown (Figs 14, 15, 22, 23, 24). Chelicerae as in male, somewhat more robust (Figs 16, 17). Lengths of basal article, distal article and movable finger 0.80, 0.98 and 0.42, respectively. Pedipalps (Fig. 13) as in male, lengths of articles see Table 1. Legs (Table 1; Figs 23, 24, distal tarsomerae Fig. 18) as in male, but relatively shorter. Claws as in male. Ovipositor (Fig. 19) ca. 0.45 long, receptacula seminis apparently monovesicular, less than 10 µm, either undeveloped in examined specimens (n=2) or very difficult to see. Relationships. Presently, H. ferrani sp. n. is the only other species described from the genus Hadzinia. Hadzinia ferrani sp. n. can be distinguished from H. karamani especially by its overall slender segments: relatively very long and slender chelicerae in H. ferrani sp. n. vs. relatively short and robust in H. karamani, straight and subterminally crooked vs. sinusoidally curved pedipalp femur, slender vs. thick patella, elongated barrel-shaped vs. truncated cone-like glans, and by long rod-like minute spines besides a few conical ones in H. ferrani sp. n. vs. only conical spines in H. karamani. Distribution. Hadzinia ferrani sp. n. has been found only in the Ferranova buža cave. The species is thus likely endemic to the western Dinaric karst, and probably restricted to the karstic region of Mt. Ulovka (801 m) in central Slovenia. Ecology. In the Ferranova buža cave, all records were taken from a depth of over 70 m beneath the surface where temperatures yielded 7.6 to over 10°C. Individuals were found on bare wet limestone walls beside trickling and seeping water, sometimes showered by water droplets, and on wet flowstone concretions and walls. Their relatively long appendages suggest adaptation to spacious habitats, while their movable, pointed claws enable efficient clinging in slippery and water-drenched sites. This indicates that H. ferrani sp. n. probably prefers terrestrial phreatic habitat sensu Jeannel (1926), i. e., habitats consisting of tiny water trickles in aerated channels inaccessible to humans. These channels originate in the epikarst and pass into the deep karstic massifs (Novak et al. 2012).Published as part of Novak, Tone & Kozel, Peter, 2014, Hadzinia ferrani, sp. n.
