Abstract:

Il sistema verbale slavo ha subito molteplici cambiamenti nel corso della sua evoluzione. Le lingue slave contemporanee possiedono sistemi verbali differenti, ma tutti riconducibili al protoslavo, la protolingua comune a tutte le lingue slave. E’ possibile anche riscontrare ancora oggi una serie di caratteristiche risalenti all’indoeuropeo comune, la protolingua di tutte le lingue indoeuropee contemporanee. Questo studio ha l’obiettivo di presentare due diversi tipi di evoluzione del verbo slavo: il russo e lo sloveno. In particolare, ci si sofferma sull’evoluzione dei tempi composti formati con il participio in –l, che, a partire dallo slavo ecclesiastico antico, ha dato risultati estremamente diversi, e in alcuni casi addirittura opposti, in russo e in sloveno. Nel primo capitolo viene presentato brevemente il metodo storico-comparativo e il suo impiego negli studi europeistici e slavistici; viene inoltre fornita una veloce panoramica del sistema verbale indoeuropeo, delle sue categorie e degli influssi che il verbo indoeuropeo comune ha avuto sullo sviluppo del verbo slavo. Nel secondo capitolo si analizzano le prime fasi di sviluppo autonomo del verbo slavo: il protoslavo e lo slavo ecclesiastico antico. Viene prestata particolare attenzione alle innovazioni e alle tendenze riscontrate nello sviluppo dei tempi perifrastici, del participio risultativo e dell’ausiliare. Nel terzo capitolo viene trattata l’evoluzione del perfetto e del piuccheperfetto slavo, con particolare riferimento al russo e allo sloveno, dalle loro fasi più antiche allo stato attuale. Nel quarto capitolo si parla dell’evoluzione del futuro anteriore slavo. Vengono osservate le principali tendenze di sviluppo del futuro perifrastico in sloveno e in russo. L'appendice finale consiste in una riflessione sulle nuove possibilità di espressione del significato risultativo, facendo riferimento in particolare al perfetto possessivo. La tesi che viene sostenuta in questo studio è quella dell’esistenza di due diversi sviluppi del participio –l slavo, dove lo sloveno lo utilizza oggi con significato generale di non-presente, mentre il russo lo utilizza più specificamente come tempo passato.

Abstract:

2011/2012
I studied the relationships between politics and religion around the sites of memory in North Adriatic border region in late modern age. This means that I have discovered how the National tradition developed in German and Austrian culture in 19th century, synthetically defined by G. Mosse’s category Nationalization of the Masses, became a foundamental paradigm both in Italian and Slovenian civil religions of the region, until the second half of 20th century. Using both Italian and Slovenian sources, I am trying to analyze the relation of Italian and Slovenian border society with their history and memory, and how these influences had affected public opinion and collective conscience.

Abstract:

In Slovenia, the majority of libraries use the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). The authors give an overview of the extent of the use of classification in both open access and bibliographic control in their country. Since 1991 there have been no editions of the UDC published in the Slovenian language and this paper announces the change that occurred when two very important tools were made available to UDC users in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The new Slovenian translation of the UDC was produced by the National and University Library (NUL) in Ljubljana in 2007. This Web edition uses the original structure of the ISO 2709 file format which allows searching of UDC numbers (string searching and full text searching), searching UDC captions, notes, examples, etc. The tool has a user friendly web interface for browsing and navigating UDC schedules via hyperlinks, facilitating checking and selection of an appropriate class mark. At the same time a group of authors in the Slovenian National Library published a Slovenian UDC manual addressing the specific needs of Slovenian libraries and established practice in subject indexing. The manual is abundant with practical examples for both inexperienced and advanced users of UDC

Abstract:

This research represents a comparative study on the functioning of the category of verbal aspect in Slovene and Russian. The purpose of this study consists in the attempt to contribute to the area of aspectological studies not only by outlining the Slovenian verbal system from an aspectual point of view, but also by defining the position of Slovene within the general framework of the other Slavic languages. The contribution of the many studies devoted to Russian was essential to achieve this purpose. Unlike the Slovenian language, Russian has a rich and consolidated aspectological tradition. Russian background has provided the theoretical basis for our investigation. The analysis presented here doesn’t concern the morphological patterns through which aspectual pairs are formed. It deals instead with the uses and meanings of perfective and imperfective aspect. The investigation was carried out on three literary texts of the twentieth century: the collection of short stories Čemodan by S. Dovlatov and its translation into Slovenian, the novel Pomladni dan by C. Kosmač and its translation into Russian and the Russian and Slovenian translations of the Italian novel Il deserto dei Tartari by D. Buzzati. The survey focused on the indicative verbal forms in the present, past and future tenses. More than 8000 verbs have been analyzed for each language. The Introduction presents the purposes and the methodological criteria the analysis is founded on. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the contributions dealing with Slovenian aspect starting from A. Bohorič’s grammar (XVI century) up to the most recent studies. Among the latter, particular attention has been paid to O.S. Plotnikova ‘s essays and A. Derganc and S.M. Dickey’s works. The analysis begins in Chapter 2, which is dedicated to the aspectual meanings of the Perfective aspect. In this chapter the cases of “concordance” (i.e. cases where both languages present a perfective verb) and cases of “discrepancy “(i.e. those where a Russian perfective verb corresponds to an imperfective verb in Slovene or vice versa) are discussed. Chapter 3 analyzes the behavior of the two languages in the use imperfective aspect, referring only to the cases of “concordance”, the case of discrepancy having been treated in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 focuses on the bi-aspectual verbs, the use of which is more frequent in Slovene than in Russian. This phenomenon is probably due to the lower productivity of the morphological system of prefixation in Slovene. Finally, Chapter 5 is devoted to the use of aspects in the present tense in Slovene, with particular reference to the historical present narrative and performative sentences. In these contexts Slovene also allows the use of perfective aspect, which is not possible in Russian. The analysis underlines that in Slovene the imperfective aspect is less widespread than in Russian, while the sphere of use of the perfective is larger: this clearly emerges from the lower frequency of use of imperfective verbal forms with general-factual function (in these cases the perfective form is often preferred), and by the fact that in cases of repetition Slovene often uses the perfective verb. What is crucial in the aspectual choice in Slovene is the possibility of the given verb to express or not the focus on the achievement of the inherent limit of the action: in the former case Slovene uses the perfective aspect, in the latter – the imperfective aspect. In other words, in this language aspectual choice is based on the semantic criteria of the verb, rather than on grammatical criteria (as is the case in Russian). These findings underline the similarities between Slovene and the West Slavic languages (in particular Czech) that share the same characteristics. The thesis is provided with two appendices: the first one offers a graphical view of the data, the second one presents a glossary of Slovenian aspectual pairs of verbs treated in the dissertation.
La presente ricerca rappresenta uno studio in ottica comparata del funzionamento della categoria dell’aspetto verbale in sloveno e in russo. Lo scopo di tale lavoro consiste nel tentativo di portare un contributo nell’ambito degli studi aspettologici non solo delineando il funzionamento del sistema verbale dello sloveno da un punto di vista aspettuale, ma anche definendo la posizione dello sloveno all’interno del quadro generale relativo al comportamento aspettuale delle lingue slave. Per giungere a tale scopo è stato indispensabile il contributo dei numerosi studi dedicati alla lingua russa che, a differenza dello sloveno, lingua tanto interessante da un punto di vista aspettuale, quanto trascurata nelle trattazioni dedicate alla categoria dell’aspetto, vanta una tradizione aspettologica ricca e consolidata. Tale tradizione ha fornito il quadro teorico di riferimento per condurre l’analisi. L’analisi, rivolta non ai metodi morfologici di formazione della coppia verbale, ma agli usi e ai significati dell’aspetto Perfettivo e Imperfettivo, è stata svolta su tre testi letterari del Novecento: la raccolta di racconti Čemodan di S. Dovlatov e la sua traduzione in sloveno, il romanzo Pomladni dan di C. Kosmač e la sua traduzione in russo e le traduzioni russa e slovena del romanzo italiano Il deserto dei Tartari di D. Buzzati.L’indagine si è concentrata sulle forme verbali dell’indicativo al tempo presente, passato e futuro per un totale di più di 8000 forme verbali analizzate per ogni lingua. Nell’Introduzione si trovano lo scopo e i criteri metodologici sui quali si è basata l’analisi. Nel Capitolo 1 si presenta un excursus sulle riflessioni relative all’aspetto in sloveno a partire dalla grammatica di A. Bohorič (XVI secolo) fino agli studi più recenti, in particolare i lavori di O.S. Plotnikova, che risalgono alla fine del secolo scorso, e ai saggi ancor più recenti/attuali di A. Derganc e S.M. Dickey. L’analisi vera propria inizia con il Capitolo 2 dedicato ai significati aspettuali del PF. In questo capitolo vengono presentati e commentati i casi di concordanza (ossia i casi in cui entrambe le lingue presentano un verbo di aspetto Perfettivo) e i casi di discordanza (ossia quelli in cui compare in russo un Perfettivo e in sloveno un Imperfettivo o viceversa). Nel Capitolo 3 si analizza il comportamento delle due lingue relativamente all’uso dell’aspetto imperfettivo, con riferimento ai soli casi di concordanza, poiché i casi di discordanza risultano già trattati al Capitolo 3. Il Capitolo 4 è dedicato ai verbi biaspettuali, molto più usati in sloveno che in russo probabilmente a causa della minore produttività morfologica del sistema della prefissazione in sloveno. Il Capitolo 5 è infine dedicato all’uso degli aspetti al tempo presente in sloveno, con riferimento ai contesti di presente storico e alle frasi performative. Tali contesti, infatti, in sloveno prevedono anche il ricorso all’aspetto perfettivo, il che non è ammesso in russo. L’analisi permette di evidenziare che in sloveno l’uso dell’imperfettivo è meno diffuso che in russo, mentre la sfera d’uso del perfettivo è più vasta: ciò emerge dalla minor frequenza d’uso dell’aspetto imperfettivo con funzione generico-fattuale (a cui spesso viene preferito un perfettivo), e dal fatto che nei contesti iterativi lo sloveno può spesso ricorrere al perfettivo. Ciò che si rivela fondamentale nella scelta aspettuale in sloveno è la capacità del verbo considerato di esprimere o meno la focalizzazione sul raggiungimento del limite dell’azione: nel primo caso il verbo compare generalmente all’aspetto perfettivo, nel secondo all’imperfettivo. In altri termini in sloveno la scelta aspettuale poggia su criteri che pertengono alla semantica azionale del verbo, più che su criteri grammaticali (come accade invece in russo). Tali conclusioni permettono di avvicinare lo sloveno alle lingue slave occidentali (in particolare al ceco) che condividono, appunto, le stesse caratteristiche. A completamento della tesi si trovano due Appendici: la prima propone una visualizzazione grafica dei dati ricavati dall’analisi del corpus, la seconda presenta un Glossario delle coppie aspettuali dei verbi sloveni che compaiono nella trattazione.

Abstract:

This thesis draws on work done as part of a joint research project on industrial networks in Hungary and Slovenia, in which I participated in studying the types and depth of cooperation between buyers and suppliers [Dyker et al. 2003]. The theoretical motivation for this study is that industrial ties between firms are socially embedded and that this social embeddedness needs to be considered in order to understand the process by which the economies of the post-socialist countries of Europe are integrating into European production networks. We chose Slovenia as a country that has benefited from a continuity of industrial ties and a familiarity in working with Western European companies dating already from the pre-transition period. The top managers of 47 companies in the engineering industries (NACE 29-35) were interviewed about cooperation with their buyers and suppliers. These industries are extremely important to the economy, especially in terms of exports, and our interviews cover a good fraction of these companies. We investigate the specifics of the business environment of companies in Slovenia, and examine how these specifics affect buyer-supplier relations. The research hypothesis is that the current business environment in place and operating in Slovenia has observable effects on inter-firm relations. Differences in business cultures arise not only because of differences in the tangible legal and economic institutions in place, but also from historically produced common understandings and practices which have become entrenched in the everyday interactions of business people. In testing this hypothesis we focused on companies in the complex manufacturing industries, which would most likely benefit from both upstream and downstream interfirm cooperation, and considered how the operating environment affects the consequent forms of cooperative ties. We find that legacies are at least as important as ownership forms in determining company behaviour

Abstract:

Gli articoli nello sloveno, i potenziali candidati sono en e ta, nascono dalla lingua parlata; fatto provato da una rassegna diacronica, sincronica e dialettale. La natura di en e ta in questa funzione viene provata mettendoli in opposizione con le forme dalle quali derivano, seguita da una dettagliata descrizione della loro distribuzione sintagmatica e una panoramica degli usi attestati. Inoltre viene provato che essi stanno compiendo il percorso di grammaticalizzazione e allo stato attuale si classificano come clitici. La loro semantica, invece, si può analizzare dal punto di vista della referenzialità e della portata. In entrambi i casi la conclusione a cui giungiamo è che en esprime sempre la specificità di sintagmi indeterminati, ta esprime determinatezza della classe designata dall‟aggettivo che modifica e la combinazione di en e ta appare sempre in sintagmi indeterminati specifici. In base a un modello d‟analisi del sistema degli articoli universale che vede lingue basate o sulla determinatezza oppure sulla specificità, lo sloveno risulta una lingua particolare perché in possesso di forme di marcatezza per entrambe le categorie semantiche.
Slovene articles – the potential candidates for this title are en and ta – have developed in spoken language as indicated by diachronic, synchronic and dialectal evidence, amply discussed in the thesis. It is argued that en and ta behave as definiteness markers and this conclusion is drawn on the basis of their comparison with the forms they derive from, followed by a detailed description of their syntagmatic distribution as well as a panorama of their attested uses. Besides, it is demonstrated that Slovenian forms-qua-articles have undergone a process of grammaticalisation and are to be classified as clitics in the contemporary colloquial language. Their semantics is being thoroughly analysed, basically in terms of referentiality and scope. The overall conclusion is that, differently from previous analyses, en should be analysed as a specificity marker in the domain of indefiniteness, while the basic function of ta is to mark the definiteness of the class referred to by the adjective modified by it; the combination of en and ta is only available in indefinite specific phrases. On the basis of the proposed universal model for the analysis of article systems, languages can be characterized as having the potential to mark either definiteness or specificity. From point of view of this general division, Slovene stands out as a particular language since it disposes of forms that mark both semantic categories.

Abstract:

Abstract Elderly people, because of the frail health condition and consequent problems, have in most cases substantial difficulties living at home. Despite the need for widened nursing home custody, the field of quality institutional elderly care in Slovenia in the past did not undergo comprehensive research. The purpose of this two-part study was to investigate the quality of institutional elderly care and elderly care offered in Slovenian nursing homes. Additional purpose was to evaluate nursing staff members about their willingness, knowledge, skills and importance to meet residents’ physical and psychosocial nursing care needs. Also, a part of this research was bound for recognition of maltreatment and nursing staff members’ well-being. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. The quality of institutional elderly care and elderly care offered were researched by interviewing the parties involved in elderly care, residents, relatives and nursing staff members (N=48). The data for quantitative research was collected by surveying nursing staff by using a structured questionnaire (N=148). All data have been collected in three public and one private nursing home located in two major cities of Ljubljana and Maribor. Collected data was examined by content analysis method and statistical analysis, to corroborate findings across data sets, reducing the impact of potential biases that can exist in a single study. Triangulation was used to approach to data analysis to synthesize data from multiple sources. Main categories of quality institutional elderly were formulated as attentive care, optimal custody and holistic approach. The most important issue of quality institutional elderly care was formulated as meeting needs on time. Nursing staff members were found to be better skilled in meeting physical than psychosocial needs of residents. Maltreatment was recognised as neglect of care due to postponed duties or hastiness in nursing interventions resulting in discomfort of residents. Factors in connection to quality of institutional elderly care were expressed as quality of nursing care, friendly relationship, meaningful activities, pleasant dwelling environment and versatile assistance. The obtained findings were presented in form of proposals to improve quality of institutional elderly care in Slovenian nursing homes, and could be used to develop institutional elderly care and improve dwelling. In addition many specific terms have been extracted during the analysis process that may contribute to development of gerontological nursing care rationale in Slovenia.

Abstract:

Within the field of archaeology, cremation studies have the potential to provide important information regarding regional demography, pyre technology, burial rituals, and social rites. The development of recognized value and study of cremated remains has been stimulated by the establishment of proper methods of analysis and the increased awareness of the varying characteristics the bones exhibit after having been exposed to firing. During the Late Bronze Age, cremation was the principal method of disposing of deceased individuals throughout central and southern Europe. Three Urnfield Culture sites which had the most preserved material were selected for this study; from these sites, 169 individuals were selected for osteoarchaeological research. In addition to a standard osteological examination, cremation-related changes to the skeleton were studied such as temperature of firing, fracture patterns, element survival, and overall fragmentation and preservation. Demographics such as age and sex were established for each individual when possible and any animal bones present were acknowledged. This research is important because it is the first major osteological study done on cremated remains from Urnfield Culture sites in Slovenia. It is bringing to light new information on population demographics, the effectiveness of the cremation process during the time of the Urnfield Culture, and will supplement current research on the Late Bronze Age in Slovenia.

Abstract:

After 1989, along with the collapse of Soviet Union, Central and Eastern European countries the democracy became synonymous with ‘return to Europe’. The post-communist regime was a reaction against its predecessor and that reaction had produced a demand for democratization. Therefore, the process of democratization, which gained momentum at the end of eighties and, the beginning of the nineties, has become an important phenomenon. The most extreme case of transition, certainly, is former Yugoslavia. Due to the war and the collapse of the Federation into several successor states, the legitimacy and viability are still being questioned. The Balkan region, known as the ‘Powder Keg of Europe’ has been commonly considered to be representing a chronic political instability and a lack of socio-economic modernization as well as much poorer prospects for democratization and for acceptance into the European Union (EU) in comparison to the other countries of East and Central Europe.

Slovenia however may be seen as the exception that proved the Balkan rule. Besides, the successor states of Yugoslavia, Slovenia has recorded the smoothest, non-violent and the least problematic transition toward liberal democracy. Slovenia maintained the highest level of system stability in the powder keg of Europe. Slovenia is the only Yugoslav successor state, which has peacefully established a functioning democracy. It has established a stable democracy and moved easily to a market economy. It is also the only the EU member country from the former. More importantly, Slovenia has kept the highest level of system stability in Powder Keg of Europe’.

The main purpose of this thesis is to review and discuss the political democratization process in Slovenia. This study also reviews the reasons, which make the Slovenian transition to democracy special among the post-communist democracies. More specifically, this study particularly focuses on certain political aspects to discover its way of democratization. Slovenia, one of the most successful countries within Central and Eastern Europe is also the only component republic of ex-Yugoslavia not to confront continuing problems of ethnic challenge, deep political conflict and economic debility.

All theories attempt to impose order and find patterns in the messy and complex reality of human life. Therefore, the theories are useful in that they ask important questions about democratization in general and contribute to particular explanations. Concerning the democratization process in Slovenia, ‘Theories of Democratization’ is generally going to be reviewed. Democratization theories aim to explain how authoritarian regimes change into liberal democratic ones. More specifically, Transition Theories will be applied during the study. Transition studies have been chosen, because they offer a ‘political’ explanation of democratization and also differentiate democratic transition and democratic consolidation phases properly, and point out the necessary conditions for the success of each phase.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the mental representation of subject-verb agreement, and the factors that can affect the determination of agreement in language production. It reports nine experiments that used a task in which participants produced sentence completions for visually presented complex subjects such as “The greyhound which two lively rabbits were tempting”. Such completions typically agree with the head noun (greyhound) as in “A greyhound which two lively rabbits were tempting is jumping” but sometimes agree with the local noun (rabbits) as in “A greyhound which two lively rabbits were tempting are jumping”. The first experiments examined the value of the concept of markedness in subject verb number agreement to see whether it has explanatory power for languages like Slovene with more than two number values. Results from two experiments employing complex sentence preambles including a head noun post modified by a prepositional phrase or a relative clause (e.g., “The nudist(s) near the sand dune(s)”) show that Slovene number agreement differs from number agreement in languages with no dual, but that it is not possible to simply state that the singular is the least marked and the dual the most. I argue that using languages with more complex number systems allows greater insight into the processes of correct and erroneous subject-verb agreement, and shows that it is necessary to dissociate susceptibility to agreement from error-causing status. To conclude, the concept of markedness seems unable to explain my results. Semantic effects in agreement are then examined using two comparison experiments in English. Experiment 3 shows that although English has only a two value system, speakers are sensitive to semantic differences in number. Experiment 4 explores the possible influence of speakers’ native language three-value number system on their two-value second language system. It shows that native speakers of English are more sensitive to semantic number differences in English than Slovene speakers of English. Experiment 5 explores gender agreement in Slovene (which has three genders) and shows that there is a complex pattern of agreement. As with number, there is not just one number value which is problematic: neuter and masculine are most confusable, but masculine errors are also common when feminine agreement would be expected, thus suggesting that speakers revert to two different defaults, masculine and neuter. Finally, the results of four experiments examining number and gender agreement in coordinated phrases are presented. Agreement in such phrases may be resolved (i.e. the verb agrees with the whole subject) but may instead agree with one conjunct. Agreement with one conjunct is affected byword order (agreement with the nearest conjunct is most common), coordinator (e.g., single-conjunct agreement is more common after “or” than “and”) and the gender or number of the conjuncts (e.g., dual number is associated with single-conjunct agreement). Taken together, my results suggest that agreement is affected by a complex interplay of semantic and syntactic factors, and that the effects of a three-valued system are quite distinct from those of a two-valued system.

Abstract:

In response to Gavrilo Princip's shots on 28 June 1914, the Catholic Church in the Slovenian lands described the deaths of Franz Ferdinand and of his consort as those of martyrs, which provided a rich reservoir of biblically inspired arguments when the moment arrived to justify war against the Serbs and their allies. By arguing that Slovenians merely claimed their natural rights, based in divine law, the Catholic Church backed the political option that ultimately led to the creation of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.

Abstract:

This diploma thesis interprets processes of contemporary economic development in Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, whereas it is focused on the comparision of selected macroeconomic indicators and at the same time some main factors, which significantly influence the economic development in the area, are highlighted. According to the diploma thesis structure - chosen geographical, demographic, social and regional attributes are identified at first. Afterwards a brief view of transformation process to the free market economies leads to the chronologically organized characteristics of an economic development in the territory. The period of a primary interest begins with a phase 2003-2007 while the year 2008 and predictions of an on-coming development are discussed separately. The very last chapter recapitulates a progress in the euro adoption process and then examines an actual convergence criteria fulfilling in countries, which the euro currency haven't adopted (until 1. 1. 2009) yet.

Abstract:

Scientific community considers the Karst aquifers as one of the most important global water resources but also one of the most vulnerable landscape, linked to environmental impacts and global climate fluctuation and for their particular hydrogeological - hydrogeochemical characterization. Therefore, global environmental change studies have increasingly become important for environmental researches allowing to define the relation between ground water and climate in order to ground water hydrologists and hydrogeochemistry. The main topic of this thesis is geochemical characterization of spring waters of Kanin Mountain karst aquifer, by means of water – rock interactions study, geochemical mobility of important chemical elements, in order to identify the possible geochemical markers by meteo – climatic analysis, that could influence the climatic variability, especially seasonal changes. The researches were focused on geochemical study of springs, which are located in the trans boundary area Italy – Slovenia (Kanin Montain) of the Isonzo river basin. Major and trace elements in water samples were detected by Ion chromatography (anions) and ICP – MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) (cations and trace elements) and stable isotopes δ18O e δD analysis were carried out in water, snow and rain samples. Moreover, the software GWB (Geochemist’s Workbench) were used to obtain the model of water – rock interaction and arsenic – iron speciation. The analysis results are helpful to identify the links between climatic changes (especially seasonal changes) and the related geochemical variability of springs water of Kanin Mountain. Furthermore, seasonal changes showed the presence of particular environmental geochemical markers to estimate higher vulnerability of karst water resources.

Abstract:

Abstract This study is focused on the self-care of home-dwelling elderly people living in Slovenia. The study has two phases. The purpose of the first phase is to describe the self-care of home-dwelling elderly people living in Slovenia and factors connected to self-care. The purpose of the second phase is to describe the experiences of the elderly people's ability to manage at home. The aim of this study was to produce new knowledge about the self-care of home-dwelling elderly people living in Slovenia and the factors connected with it. The knowledge will be used to develop elderly care and support eldery people who live at home. The knowledge can be also used to educate nurses to care for the elderly people. The study was both quantitative and qualitative. In the quantitative study the sample consisted of 302 home-dwelling elderly people who were clients in domiciliary care. The selection criteria was: aged 75 years or over and the ability to communicate, no hearing problems, no severe mental problem/cognitive disability and gave full consent for their participation. The whole instrument consists of 91 items. A instrument covers background data, types of self-care, self-care orientation, life satisfaction, self-esteem and functional ability. In the qualitative study, 20 interviews were carried out and a qualitative analysis obtained. Data collection methods included open-ended questions concerning the following topics: background data, types of self-care, self-care orientation, life satisfaction, self-esteem and functional ability. Based on factor analyses, four factors were found which described the self-care. All other factors describe elderly people's perceptions concerning either the past or the future. The elderly people who are able to manage their daily activities/routines have a good functional capacity, good family relations, live qualitatively, accept the future healthily and clearly and are satisfied with their life because they can take care of themselves, but their self-esteem is not so high. Those elderly people who do not take care of themselves are abandoned; they are not satisfied with their way of life and have low-esteem. The results are going to be the basis for planning care and nursing care for all caregivers, especially community nurses. On the basis of this result the model of nursing and social care for home - dwelling elderly people living in Slovenia could be planned
Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksessa selvitetään Sloveniassa asuvien ikääntyneiden itsestä huolenpitoa. Tutkimus on kaksivaiheinen. Ensimmäisen vaiheen tarkoituksena oli kuvata slovenialaisten ikääntyneiden itsestä huolenpitoa ja siihen yhteydessä olevia tekijöitä. Toisen vaiheen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla ikääntyneiden kokemuksia itsestä huolenpidosta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tuottaa tietoa slovenialaisten ikääntyneiden kotona asuvien itsestä huolenpidosta. Tietoa voidaan käyttää tuettaessa ikääntyneitä asumaan kotona. Lisäksi sitä voidaan käyttää hoitotyöntekijöiden koulutuksessa. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin sekä määrällistä että laadullista lähestymistapaa. Määrällisen tutkimuksen otos oli 302 kotona asuvaa slovenialaista ikääntynyttä. Kriteerinä oli vähintään 75 vuoden ikä ja kommunikaatiokyky. Kyselylomake sisälsi 91 väittämää. Siinä oli taustatietokysymyksiä, itsestä huolenpitoon, itsestä huolenpitoon orientoitumiseen, elämään tyytyväisyyteen, itsearvostukseen ja toimintakykyyn liittyviä kysymyksiä. Laadulliseen tutkimukseen osallistui 20 henkilöä. He olivat antaneet suostumuksena haastatteluun tutkimukseen ensimmäisessä vaiheessa. Haastattelut sisälsivät avoimia kysymyksiä koskien itsestä huolenpitoa. Tulosten mukaan neljä faktoria kuvasi itsestä huolenpitoa muut faktorit kuvasivat ikääntyneiden suhdetta menneisyyteen ja tulevaisuuteen. Niillä ikääntyneillä, jotka hallitsivat päivittäiset toiminnot oli hyvä toimintakyky, hyvät perheenjäsenten väliset suhteet, he olivat elämään tyytyväisiä ja hyväksyivät tulevaisuuden. Heidän itsetuntonsa ei ollut hyvä. Ne ikääntyneet, jotka eivät pitäneet huolta itsestään olivat omapäisesti itsestä huolehtimiseen suhtautuvia. He eivät olleet elämään tyytyväisiä ja heillä oli matala itsetunto. Tutkimus tuloksia tullaan hyödyntämään kehitettäessä ikääntyneiden kotihoitoa. Tulosten perusteella tullaan kehittämään malli miten ikääntyneiden kotona asumista voidaan tukea

Full text

Abstract:

In the early 2000s when several Central and East European countries (CEECs) negotiated their accession to the European Union (EU), they introduced foreign aid policy despite most of them being aid recipient countries at the time. This thesis seeks to explain the evolution of foreign aid policy in two Central and Eastern European countries that took divergent paths in adopting the policy, Slovenia and Latvia. While Slovenia evolved into a relatively active donor country among the CEECs, Latvia’s aid policy developed relatively slowly and aid allocations were smaller. The thesis approaches this subject from the perspective of the ‘Europeanisation East’ literature that seeks to explain policy adoption in the CEECs in terms of EU influence. The literature is divided on how to explain the policy adoption processes in the CEECs. Rationalists, on the one hand, stress the role played by external incentives, in particular the conditions the EU imposed on the CEECs for them to be admitted to the EU, known as EU conditionality. Rationalists also note the role of domestic veto players who can delay or even stop adoption of the policy if it incurs high adoption costs upon them. Constructivists, on the other hand, explain policy adoption in terms of identification and social influence, policy resonance, or the presence of influential norm entrepreneurs. In an important study, Schimmelfennig and Sedelmeier (2005) concluded that most of the policy adoption processes can be explained by the overwhelming influence of EU conditionality, thus downplaying constructivist explanations. This thesis examines whether their finding can be applied to the adoption of foreign aid policy in the preaccession period (1998-2004). It focuses on the role of EU as well as domestic factors in the policy adoption processes. It then explores what factors account for further developments in the policy adoption processes in the period after the CEECs acceded to the EU (2004-2010). The empirical basis of this study consists of a series of interviews with policy makers and civil society representatives in the two countries. The findings in these interviews have been checked against and triangulated with an encompassing examination of policy documents and archival material. The main findings about the pre-accession period indicate that EU conditionality indeed played an important role in foreign aid policy adoption, but so did identification and social influence. Hence policy adoption costs and the efforts of veto players could not delay policy adoption. In the post-accession period, it is argued here, the further policy adoption processes can largely be explained by identification and social influence. Nevertheless, veto players and adoption costs, as well as policy resonance, did emerge as constraining factors in the policy processes. All in all, the thesis argues that the policy adoption processes can be explained best by a combination of both Constructivist and Rationalist theories and that role of domestic factors should not be neglected in research into EU influence on the new member states.

Abstract:

Carinthia, the southernmost province In Austria is home to two linguistic communities, a German-speaking majority and a Slovene-speaking minority. The Slovene minority is an autochthonous ethnic minority, a vestige of former Slavic groups who once populated the area of today's Carinthia. In the province, over past centuries interethnic relations have been relatively fraught, and this is also true of the contemporary situation in Carinthia. The tensions reside in a set of complex relations between the two separate linguistic communities: the largely bilingual Slovene Carinthian community and the German-speaking Carinthian community The aim of this work is to look specifically at the period 1972 to 2005 and analyse whether continuity or change has prevailed in the social, political and cultural environment of the Slovene minority within the context of Carinthian politics

Abstract:

This thesis contributes to our understanding of the role of European Union policy in national level governance of the audiovisual media sectors in small states in South East Europe. It compares the Republics of Slovenia and Macedonia, two countries of similar size and population that emerged from the same former-Yugoslav media system. Slovenia is a new EU member state and Macedonia is a candidate country, therefore both are formally bound by EU audiovisual media policy. Europeanization research, particularly in new Member States and candidate countries, has focused on compliance with transposition deadlines and the implementation of specific EU Directives. This study takes a bottom-up approach, making media governance its object of study based on a conceptualisation of governance by Jan Kooiman (2003), but still focused on identifying the role of the EU within that national level governance. It draws on interviews with stakeholders in both countries, examination of secondary data available on the respective media markets, and accounts from civil society actors and regulators to arrive at an overall picture of media governance. It finds that in these two cases the role of Europeanization, defined in this thesis in relation to the EU, centres on the use of EU rules by domestic actors in order to forward their strategic interests. It argues that the media sectors in these two cases are largely resistant to Europeanization because of their small size and the particular relations between media and political elites. This thesis suggests that the media sector may be different from other sectors such as transport, environmental protection, or labour in terms of Europeanization and governance because the role of media in domestic politics. However, this is not a simple story of the democratic and governance failures often attributed to Southern European countries. This thesis shows the complexity in which Europeanization takes place, and highlights the importance of market conditions and market players to this process.

Abstract:

A total of 849 men and 903 women participated in the first national general population probability sample survey of sexual behaviour and Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Slovenia. A combination of face-to-face interviews and anonymous self completion of questionnaires was used. Survey response rate was 67.0% and urine specimens were obtained from 82.7% of respondents. The median age at first heterosexual Intercourse declined from 18 to 17 years among men born during the late sixties and among women born during the late seventies. A substantial proportion of those who experienced early first heterosexual intercourse regretted this especially women, and a substantial proportion of these women had been persuaded or forced. Condom use increased during the late eighties and nineties which coincided with heightened AIDS awareness. Receipt of information on sexual matters from school lessons was associated with decreased risk of early first heterosexual intercourse among women and increased likelihood of condom use among men. There was great variability in the numbers of heterosexual partners between individuals of different ages, between men and women, and according to marital status. Men of all ages and any marital status reported higher numbers than women. Mean numbers of lifetime heterosexual partners for men and women were 8.3 and 5.6. Annual rates of acquisition of new heterosexual partners were 22.7% for men and 9.5% for women. Reported frequency of heterosexual intercourse showed high levels of consistency between men and women. Experience of vaginal intercourse was nearly universal. The great majority also reported oral heterosexual intercourse. Anal intercourse was reported by 31.6% of men and 22.3% of women. Having been forced into heterosexual sex was reported by 12.0% of women. At least one homosexual partner during the past five years was reported by 0.6% of men and 0.4% of women. Among 18 to 24 year olds 0.6% of men and 0.4% of women reported having injected illicit drugs during the past five years. All men who had sex with men also reported sex with women and all injecting drug users heterosexual sex with non-users. The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection among 18 to 24 year old sexually experienced individuals was 4.7%. Sexual and reproductive health and life skills education programmes should be implemented in primary schools. An expert advisory group to the Ministry of Health should prepare recommendations for prevention and control of Chlamydia trachomatis infection.

Abstract:

Slovenia and Latvia are two examples of countries which have gone through a successful democratic transition. They were both under authoritarian rule and command economy up until their declarations of independence in the early 90s. Today they have a functional market economy and political pluralism. I have examined transition theories highlighted by Jonas Linde and Joakim Ekman and from these theories sought the explanations to what lies behind the successful transitions of these two countries.

The transition in Slovenia was affected by liberalization from within the ruling communist party which then controlled much of the transition process. A relatively large civil society and the fact that Slovenia was not involved in the Balkan War also contributed to the short process. In the case of Lativa was the strong public support for independence an important factor. The communist party could be defeated in the parliament in 1990, giving the Popular Front of Latvia legitimacy to declare the country independent. A constitution was created based on the one Latvia had created in 1922 when the country was an independent state for the first time.

In neither Slovenia nor Latvia was violent revolutionary action a significant force for political change. Despite Latvia’s economical problems after the collapse of the Soviet economy and the ethnic segregation a political consensus remained that the democratic system had to withstand. The strive for full market economy and independence was an important factor in Slovenia as well as in Latvia. In Slovenia however, the political liberalization occurred before the economic. The state remained in partial control of the economy for a few years in order to secure a successful transition.

Abstract:

Slovenian identity took shape under cultural, political and economic circumstances that in uenced Western European civilization at its furthest eastern border. Since the 6th century, ancestors of present day Slovenes inhabited the territory of the Eastern Alps, bordering on the Pannonian plains and, in the south, on the Adriatic sea. The decisive elements of Slovenian identity were global historical processes: Christianization, the emergence of historical countries, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation and the Catholic renewal, the forming of the Austrian monarchy, the enlightenment, romanticism, the rise of nationalism and liberalism, the development of modern democracy. Historical turning points such as Napoleon's Illyrian Provinces, the 1848 'spring of nations', World Wars I and II, and the collapse of Yugoslavia also made an impact on identity formation. These processes affected national consciousness as well as the concept of nation.

Abstract:

The thesis explores Educational Management Information Systems in Slovenia and England from a comparative perspective. The thesis evolves from the argument that postindustrial social developments mean a major shift in educational management in general, and in educational management information systems, as parts of educational management. The main argument, methodology, and organization of the thesis are explained in Chapter One. Chapter Two focuses on an overview of some of the theories about industrial and postindustrial societies; including theories of the 'information society', postmodernity, and postfordism; explores educational change in industrial and postindustrial societies; and thirdly, analyzes selected concepts of general and educational management which have developed in the twentieth century. In Chapter Three this larger theoretical framework is narrowed and refined by analysis of the concepts of an educational information system which evolved and developed within particular management theories. First, this thesis' definition of an EMIS is offered; second, principles of educational management in industrial and postindustrial social settings are explored; and third two ideal typical models of EMIS, 'fordist' and the 'postfordist', are delineated. Chapter Four and Chapter Five focus on contemporary social and educational contexts, the empirical research, and the analysis of findings in Slovenia and England. Empirical data on the two countries of England and Slovenia, collected through interviews and documents and analyzed in the previous two chapters, are compared in Chapter Six. In the same chapter these data are contrasted with the two ideal typical EMIS models. Chapter Six also provides an overall interpretation and concludes by outlining several policy implications of the thesis.

Full text

Abstract:

The present study examines (im)politeness in technologically mediated interactions between Company representatives and customers, in which customers request information or complain about a service received. The study first explored normative behaviour in requesting information via telephone and email and then looked at deviant cases where following interactional trouble of some sort, the exchanges became unexpectedly inappropriate and thus open to evaluations of impoliteness. The study further examined impoliteness in the way customers communicated their dissatisfaction. Here, the way complaints were articulated and responded was found to vary between telephone and Facebook. On the telephone, face-threatening behaviour was targeted at the institutional agent and the customers appealed to the agent’s sense of fairness. On a public social media Facebook page, administrated by an anonymous representative, the customers attacked the Company’s image. Precisely because of the public nature of the setting, the customers’ flaming behaviour, i.e. aggressive or hostile behaviour, differed from that identified in complaint calls. In other words, aggressive behaviour and humour were seen as devised for different audiences as separate communicative goals, whereby the aggressive behaviour was aimed at the Company whereas other followers are meant to enjoy its humorous potential with the objective of providing support through likes and affiliative comments. It was found that while customers’ complaints rarely triggered remedial actions on the telephone, on Facebook, responses to negative feedback are not normatively required. When responses were provided, various disaffiliating distance strategies were used. Overall, the analysis of complaints has shown that they are managed in a rather non-accountable manner. It further revealed the discrepancy between the infrastructural services and the pseudo-modern image, the Company aims to project. This study provides valuable insights into (im)politeness in customers’ requesting and complaining behaviour in authentic Slovenian institutional interactions, thus contributing to the burgeoning field of (im)politeness research in institutional settings.
