Preprocessing Techniques to Improve CNN based Face Recognition System
Authors: Raghavan Jayanthi , Ahmadi Majid
Published: February 2021

In this work, deep CNN based model have been suggested for face recognition. CNN is employed to extract unique facial features and softmax classifier is applied to classify facial images in a fully connected layer of CNN. The experiments conducted in Extended YALE B and FERET databases for smaller batch sizes and low value of learning rate, showed that the proposed model has improved the face recognition accuracy. Accuracy rates of up to 96.2% is achieved using the proposed model in Extended Yale B database. To improve the accuracy rate further, preprocessing techniques like SQI, HE, LTISN, GIC and DoG are applied to the CNN model. After the application of preprocessing techniques, the improved accuracy of 99.8% is achieved with deep CNN model for the YALE B Extended Database. In FERET Database with frontal face, before the application of preprocessing techniques, CNN model yields the maximum accuracy of 71.4%. After applying the above-mentioned preprocessing techniques, the accuracy is improved to 76.3%.
A Cross-Platform Application for Covid-19 Diagnostic
Authors: Chehili Hamza , Bensaada Mustapha
Published: February 2021

The emergency of the Covid 19 pandemic has led technology to seek solutions to the different problems caused by the disease. In the monitoring area, connected devices offer new possibilities to a rapid detection and intervention of the new cases. They allow remote diagnostic to infected patients with covid 19 symptoms. However, the heterogeneity of the platform requires applications' developers to develop specific solutions for each platform. In this paper, we propose a cross-platform application that permits developer to use one code to build applications in different platforms. The paper describes the architecture of the application by presenting its three parts: interface screens (UI), data manipulation and authentication implementation. Finally, we show selected screens of an android release as an example.
Glyfn: A Glyph-Aware Fusion Network for Distributed Chinese Event Detection
Authors: Zhai Qi , Kan Zhigang , Feng Linhui , Qiao Linbo , Liu Feng
Published: February 2021

Recently, Chinese event detection has attracted more and more attention. As a special kind of hieroglyphics, Chinese glyphs are semantically useful but still unexplored in this task. In this paper, we propose a novel Glyph-Aware Fusion Network, named GlyFN. It introduces the glyphs' information into the pre-trained language model representation. To obtain a better representation, we design a Vector Linear Fusion mechanism to fuse them. Specifically, it first utilizes a max-pooling to capture salient information. Then, we use the linear operation of vectors to retain unique information. Moreover, for large-scale unstructured text, we distribute the data into different clusters parallelly. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on ACE2005 and large-scale data. Experimental results show that GlyFN obtains increases of 7.48(10.18%) and 6.17(8.7%) in the F1-score for trigger identification and classification over the state-of-the-art methods, respectively. Furthermore, the event detection task for large-scale unstructured text can be efficiently accomplished through distribution.

Enhancing Health System Resilience: Practical and Cost-effective Approaches to Face the COVID-19 Pandemic by Base Hospital UdugamaSri Lanka
Authors: Taranga KJMD , Fernando GHS
Published: February 2021

COVID-19 is a pandemic from pneumonia of unknown origin, first reported in Wuhan city China as information extracted from the World Health Organization. It was first reported in Sri Lanka on 27 January 2020 by a Chinese tourist. Handing the COVID-19 situation with scarce recourses within a limited time was challenging for the government hospitals. This paper aims to describe the practical and cost-effective actions implemented at the Base Hospital Udugama to enhance the health system resilience to prepare, respond to, and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. We did a retrospective evaluation of the COVID-19 control project at the Base Hospital Udugama. The daily interventions carried out at the Base Hospital Udugama to prepare, respond and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic were documented in a journal. Also, we preserved evidence through photographs while collecting data from the routine hospital records. The temporally established COVID-19 coordinating committee managed all the activities. The committee increased awareness among staff and the public, maintained stock of Personal Protective Equipment, established preventive measures, established an isolation unit, arranged community sample collection, continued essential routine healthcare services and distribution of the clinic drugs to the doorsteps of the patients while protecting the Hospital staff against COVID-19. Even though the management of the COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge to the Base Hospital Udugama, with strong leadership and effective coordination with different units and departments within and beyond the hospital, it was possible to manage the response efficiently and effectively.
We recommend enhancing the health system's resilience through timely investments in peripheral hospitals coupled with capacity building targeting multiple hazards, including pandemics.

Defence of the Republic of Slovenia 1991–2004: from Individual to Collective Defence
Authors: Guštin Damijan
Published: February 2021

Following the successful defence of the country in June and July 1991, the Republic of Slovenia developed its partly unestablished defence system in the light of the instability of the country’s southern neighbourhood that continued to be ravaged by war for the next five years. As an independent country, Slovenia developed its system of national defence in the context of armed neutrality, but with a desire to join Nato and thus transition to a system of collective defence. The Territorial Defence was developed into a regular army and renamed as the Slovenian Armed Forces in 1994. In the circumstances dictated both by restrictions imposed by the UN (arms embargo) as well as the country’s own capacities and available material resources, Slovenia developed a single-type army based on national service and initial large numbers that were gradually reduced. In 1993, the country decided to pursue collective defence as a strategic goal and initiated efforts to join Nato. As Slovenia moved closer to Nato and as the security of its immediate environment changed, numerous reforms of the Army and of the defence sector loomed. During Slovenia's preparations to join Nato from 2000 to 2004, the country abandoned its national service system in 2003 and reformed the Slovenian Armed Forces into a professional army numbering about 7600 professional soldiers, NCOs and officers, as well as an additional limited voluntary reserve force.

Pregled slovenskih političnih taborov pred nastankom modernih političnih strank
Authors: Čuček Filip
Published: February 2021

V razpravi avtor obravnava organizacijo slovenskih političnih taborov v drugi polovici 19. stoletja, v času, ki še ni poznal moderne politične »infrastrukture« oziroma klasičnega strankarstva. V letih marčne revolucije se je politika osredinila v deželnih zborih in v državnem zboru, na drugi strani pa tudi v časnikih in časopisih. Po obnovi ustavnega življenja sta se v slovenski politiki izoblikovala dva politična tabora: tabor, ki je zagovarjal previdno politiko državnih poslancev (staroslovenci), in tabor opozicije (mladoslovenci), ki se je zavzemal za odločno nacionalno politiko po češkem zgledu. Glavni politični centri so bili poleg deželnih zborov (in po letu 1873 državnega zbora) časopisi (in društva). Kljub načelni slogi so v ozadju vseskozi tlela politična nesoglasja. Dokončno ločitev duhov je leta 1888 z Rimskim katolikom dosegel Anton Mahnič, profesor bogoslovja v Gorici. Januarja 1890 je bilo v Ljubljani ustanovljeno Katoliško politično društvo, liberalci pa so februarja 1891 ustanovili Slovensko društvo. V drugih deželah s slovenskim prebivalstvom je bila pluralizacija političnega prostora nekoliko kasnejša ali pa do nje sploh ni prišlo.
Organizacijsko-politična slika liberalnega tabora v letih 1891–1941
Authors: Perovšek Jurij
Published: February 2021

Organizacijsko-politična slika slovenskega liberalizma v polstoletju 1891–1941 po eni strani predstavlja sestavni del modernega političnega triptiha, ki je od konca 19. stoletja do konca prve svetovne vojne ustrezal stanju pri drugih avstrijskih in zahodnoevropskih narodih, in se je v svoji temeljni katoliško-liberalno-marksistični osnovi nadaljeval v čas med svetovnima vojnama. Po drugi strani prikazuje del slovenske politike, ki sta ji socialna zamejenost in premajhna oziroma upadajoča delavnost zlasti v avstrijski dobi onemogočili organizacijsko širino. Le-te skoraj do konca habsburške monarhije liberalcem ni uspelo utemeljiti v vseslovenskem obsegu. Oboje je opazno vplivalo na njihovo drugotno politično vlogo v tedanjem slovenskem prostoru. V Kraljevini SHS/Jugoslaviji so liberalci s sodelovanjem v jugoslovanski centralistični politiki občutno izboljšali svoj položaj. Na ta način so se zoperstavljali močnemu katoliškemu taboru, ki je koreninil v svojem širokem idejnopolitičnem in družbenem zaledju. V drugi polovici tridesetih let se je liberalna politična moč izčrpala in organizacijsko sesula. Liberalni tabor je izzvenel kot politični subjekt.
Ilegalne mladinske politične organizacije v Sloveniji v prvih letih po 2. svetovni vojni
Authors: Gabrič Aleš
Published: February 2021

Po letu 1945 so lahko delovale le tiste mladinske politične organizacije, ki so podpirale nov komunistični režim. Toda mladi, ki so nasprotovali oblasti, so že v prvih povojnih mesecih začeli premišljevati o organizaciji, ki bi bila opozicija oblastni mladinski organizaciji in bi po potrebi delovala v ilegali. Najbolj široko dejavnost s članstvom v ilegalno delujočih skupinah je po ljubljanskih srednjih šolah razvila Zveza demokratične mladine, ki je izpeljala več akcij proti režimu. Višek delovanja je bil februarja 1946, ko je izšlo več številk ilegalnega glasila Zarja svobode. Po aretacijah večine vodilnih članov Zveze demokratične mladine je začela aktivnost upadati. Pojavile so se še nekatere organizacije, ki pa niso več razvile tako široke dejavnosti in so imele le peščico sodelavcev. Po izpustu iz zapora so le še  nekateri člani vztrajali pri političnem delovanju, ker pa so bili pod budnim nadzorom policije, so bili poskusi organiziranja ilegalne politične organizacije od leta 1947 dalje obsojeni na neuspeh.
Vzpon komunistov na oblast: Primerjava Poljske in Jugoslavije
Authors: Lukanc Maja
Published: February 2021

Komunističen prevzem oblasti na Poljskem in v Jugoslaviji je kljub podobni izkušnji medvojne agresije potekal precej drugače. V obeh državah se je začel že med vojno, a jugoslovanska partija je z lastnimi silami dokončno utrdila svojo moč že leta 1945, medtem ko je poljskim komunistom konsolidacija oblasti uspela dve leti po koncu vojne ob izdatni pomoči Sovjetske zveze in prisotnosti Rdeče armade. Prispevek poskuša primerjalno predstaviti vzpon poljske in vzpon jugoslovanske komunistične partije na oblast, s poudarkom na pri nas manj znanem, poljskem primeru. Kronološko osvetli medvojni razvoj obeh komunističnih gibanj, njunih partijskih linij ter nastajajočih oblastnih organov. Posebno pozornost posveti dejavnikom, ki so vplivali na različno politično in družbeno pozicijo poljskih ter jugoslovanskih komunistov, kot tudi vprašanju kako sta jim partiji morali prilagajati svojo taktiko, metode in tempo vzpona na oblast.
Filling the Gap in Historical Statistics: Macroeconomic Indicators of the Debt Burden of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during Great Depression
Authors: Gnjatovic Dragana
Published: February 2021

The subject matter of this paper are specific causes of sovereign debt default of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1932. In the first part of the paper, time series of public debt, with the subcategories of domestic and foreign public debt, for the period from 1929 to 1939, were constructed on the basis of data from Statistical Yearbooks of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the League of Nations. In the second part of the paper, the sustainability of public debt of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia has been measured with help of relevant macroeconomic indicators: public debt-to-GDP ratio and debt service-to-public revenue ratio.  In the third part of the paper, decomposition of public debt data has been made with respect to the methodology used in Statistical Yearbook of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This decomposition has shown that public debt accumulation had to do little if anything with the Great Depression and was to a large extent caused by political, economic and financial consequences of the Great War.
Gluhonemnica v Ljubljani v prizadevanjih za razširitev zavoda v obdobju med obema vojnama
Authors: Dobaja Dunja
Published: February 2021

Prispevek se osredotoča na problem prostorske stiske ljubljanske gluhonemnice v obdobju med obema vojnama. Zavod, ki je ob današnji Zaloški cesti odprl vrata leta 1900, je bil grajen le za 50–60 otrok. Postopoma se je to število večalo in v šolskem letu 1939/40 doseglo že 136 otrok. Gluhonemnica je morala vsako leto zavrniti več kot polovico prijavljenih otrok, za težje učljive gluhoneme otroke pa sploh ni bilo prostora. Ti so ostajali v breme občin in staršev. Ta situacija je spodbudila ljubljansko gluhonemnico k intenzivnim prizadevanjem za razširitev zavoda. Problem gluhonemnice je bil prisoten na sejah ljubljanskega oblastnega odbora in banskega sveta ob obravnavi vsakoletnih proračunov. Rešitev problema so našli šele na pragu druge svetovne vojne. Zaradi okupacije Slovenije je niso izpeljali v praksi.
Okupacija kot prelomnica v organiziranju slovenskih političnih subjektov – o »zgodovinski« vlogi Narodnega sveta za Slovenijo
Authors: Godeša Bojan
Published: February 2021

Razprava obravnava problematiko Narodnega sveta za Slovenijo, ki je bil na predlog bana Dravske banovine, dr. Marka Natlačena ustanovljen ob napadu sil osi na Jugoslavijo 6. aprila 1941. V njem so bili zastopani predstavniki predvojnih političnih strank z izjemo komunistov.  Ustanovitev Narodnega sveta za Slovenijo z jugoslovansko  ustavo ni bila predvidena in  je šlo za protizakonito, ad hoc oblikovano  telo.  Naročilo strankarskim sodelavcem, da naj ob predvidenem napadu sil osi na Jugoslavijo ustanovijo Narodni svet za Slovenijo, po zgledu na enako telo iz leta 1918, ki je urejalo slovenske interese  ob razpadanju habsburške monarhije,   je sporočil načelnik SLS, Fran Kulovec. Ta je prav s tem namenom  prišel 3. aprila 1941 v Ljubljano  ter se takoj nato vrnil v Beograd, kjer je kot minister še sodeloval v Simovićevo vladi. Do ideje o ustanovitvi Narodnega sveta je Kulovec prišel  na podlagi informacij, ki jih dobil v Beogradu, da po nemškemu napadu,, Jugoslavija kot država ne bo več obstajala.  Na njenih ruševinah naj bi nastala hrvaška država, pa tudi »Slovenija bo najverjetneje postala neke vrste nemški protektorat«.  Prav za uresničitev  takšne rešitve, to je vzpostavitve slovenske države pod protektoratom nacistične Nemčije, je bil nato 6. aprila 1941 ustanovljen  Narodni svet za Slovenijo. Takšna odločitev je pomenila, da je slovenska politična elita povezala svoj obstoj z usodo sil osi v vojni. Pri takšni opredelitvi so nosilci oblasti v Dravski banovini izhajali iz prepričanja, da bodo v svetovnem spopadu zmagale sile osi. Po vesti, da je bila v Zagrebu 10. aprila 1941 proglašena NDH, je Narodni svet prevzel vrhovno oblast in s tem namenom začel pogovore s predstavniki jugoslovanske vojske v Dravski banovini o njihovi podreditvi Narodnemu svetu, ki pa niso bili uspešni. Tudi nadaljnja prizadevanja Narodnega sveta za uveljavitev suverenosti in njeno priznanje s strani  Hitlerja, niso obrodila sadov, ker jim ni uspelo nit priti v stik z nemško vlado v Berlinu. Po prihodu italijanske vojske v Ljubljano, je  predsednik Narodnega sveta za Slovenijo Natlačen 17. aprila 1941 izročil upravo civilnemu predstavniku italijanske vojaške uprave  Tako  se je tudi povsem izčrpala njegova »zgodovinska« vloga, ki mu jo je namenil načelnik SLS Kulovec  3. aprila 1941, ko je  strankarskim somišljenikom naročil ustanovitev Narodnega sveta za Slovenijo.
Jugoslavija kot »poseben primer/Sonderfall« v zahodnonemški zunanji politiki
Authors: Nečak Dušan
Published: February 2021

Prispevek govori o bilateralnih odnosih med Jugoslavijo in ZRN od konca vojnega stanja med državama leta 1951 do osamosvojitve Slovenije. Osredotočen je na čas pred osamosvojitvijo, ko je bila Jugoslavija za ZRN nekakšen »Poseben primer/ Sonderfall«, torej je bila deležna posebne drugačne obravnave kot druge socialistične države, zlasti tiste iz vzhodnega bloka. Odnosi med državama so bili v vsem tem času, kljub nekaterih nerešenim vprašanjem (npr. vprašanje odškodnine za nacistične vojne zločine) dobri, lahko rečemo celo prijateljski. Najbolj v času socialdemokratskih vlad, v katerih je sodeloval Willy Brandt, slovenski politiki pa so imeli v bilateralnih odnosih veliko vlogo. To dejstvo je bila dobra popotnica, da je ZRN odigrala morda najpomembnejšo vlogo pri osamosvajanju Slovenije in njenem priznanju.

Central European Border Settlements and Interwar Ireland: a Transnational Study of the North- Eastern Boundary Bureau and the Boundary Commission
Authors: Zách Lili
Published: February 2021

ABSTRACTIn the aftermath of the Great War, the birth of new independent small states in East-Central Europe was closely followed in Irish nationalist circles due to the possibility of Partition in Ireland. Newspaper editorials, journal articles and diplomatic accounts illustrate that post-war Ireland had an open attitude toward the settlement of borders on the Continent as the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was similarly controversial. This paper aims to investigate how contemporary Irish commentators perceived the question of boundary settlements in Central Europe in order to provide an insight into the transformation of political space in both Ireland and Central Europe. After providing a brief background to the Irish boundary question, this paper touches upon the most important points in historiography with regard to border settlements in the post-World War I era.. It also discusses Irish Partition history in detail, concentrating on the North-Eastern Boundary Bureau (NEBB) and the Boundary Commission, and the importance of Central European precedents in their work. Moreover, this paper also proposes to provide an insight into the Irish interest in the minority problem in European borderland regions after 1925 in order to illustrate the outward-looking attitude to Irish nationalists, even in relation to borders and minorities.
The Border River Phenomenon: the Example of the River Mura
Authors: Zajc Marko
Published: February 2021

The Author analyses two long-term aspects of the border river phenomenon with the example of the river Mura: a) the relationship between the river bed, the boundaryline, and the anthropogenic effects on the river; b) discovering the historical structures through the perspective of border disputes. The "common sense" ideas about border rivers imply that the river bed and the boundaryline usually match. However, in the actual landscape and cartographic representations, the differences between these elements can be significant.

THE CHANGING VIEW OF THE 1917 RUSSIAN REVOLUTION – SLOVENIA IN THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
 
This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolutions (of February and October), which shook the world with their far-reaching consequences. The changing outlook on the Revolution by all means represents a part of its history, and therefore it has to be examined more closely, as this is the only way to understand the Revolution's global impact as well as give meaning to the current and future political standpoints. The contribution presents an overview of the changing global perspective of the Russian Revolutions in the short 20th century and the Slovenian space within it.
Pogledi slovenske meščanske politike na oktobrsko revolucijo do druge svetovne vojne
Authors: Perovšek Jurij
Published: February 2021

V slovenskem meščanskem taboru, ki je imel dober vpogled v revolucionarni oktober in njegovo državo, so na podlagi svojega razumevanja človeške družbe in posameznika v njej v oktobrskem družbenem prelomu ter v njem porojenem sovjetskem družbenem, političnem in gospodarskem razvoju, videli temeljno civilizacijsko grožnjo svetu, ki so ga živeli in zavestno podpirali. Čeprav so zgodovinsko razumeli oktobrski pojav, njegovih posledic niso sprejemali. Obenem s protisemitskim stališčem so opozarjali na totalitarno, vseobsegajočo razredno boljševiško oblast, kolektivistični in protiverski značaj sovjetske skupnosti, vanjo vraščeno osebno negotovost in, ob priznavanju nekaterih gospodarskih in prosvetnih uspehov, na njen neobetaven družbeni in gospodarski razvoj. Na liberalni strani je s svojim negativnim vrednotenjem oktobrske revolucije in sovjetske države izstopal dr. Ivan Tavčar, na katoliški strani pa sta izstopala dr. Ivan Ahčin in Fran Erjavec. Teoretsko ga je odklonil tudi tedanji vodilni katoliški filozof dr. Aleš Ušeničnik. Za meščanski tabor je bil boljševizem njegov ključni nasprotnik, izjavljanje boja proti njemu pa je bila stalnica meščanske politike v Kraljevini Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev/Kraljevini Jugoslaviji. Bila je sestavni del njene ideološke podlage, ki so mu na katoliški strani dali tudi prepoznavni svetovnonazorski naboj. V taki ideološki in politični drži je meščanski tabor dočakal konec jugoslovanske kraljevine in vstopil v času druge svetovne vojne na Slovenskem.

V drugi polovici 19. stoletja so se vzporedno z vzponom meščanstva in njegove morale načini poročnih izbir začeli znatno spreminjati. Proti koncu 19. stoletja so se ustvarile nove zapovedi in posredne prisile »odgovorne izbire poročnega partnerja oz. partnerke«. V tekstu preko analize slovenskega tiska, literarnih del ter ego dokumentov, predstavljamo tovrstni diskurz. Preko analize vzorca poročenih parov slovenske elite (v Ljubljani in Trstu) pa predstavljamo dejanske poročne izbire slovenske elite.
Alternativna kulturna gibanja in "konglomerat FV" v osemdesetih letih v Sloveniji
Authors: Rendla Marta
Published: February 2021

Alternativna kulturna gibanja, ki so se širila v osemdesetih letih 20. stoletja v polju množične kulture skozi subkulturno udejstvovanje, so pomenila zoperstavljanje dominantni kulturi in odklon represivnemu državnemu nadzoru. Vse pogosteje so postajala subverzivna, vendar tolerirana oblika izražanja političnega odpora proti neučinkovitemu vladajočemu sistemu socialističnega samoupravljanja. Zagovarjala so ustvarjalnost, nove vedenjske in življenjske vzorce. Alternativna kulturna gibanja z osrednjimi predstavniki so v osemdesetih letih sestavljala kritični val, ki je povzročil, da je  Slovenija v liberalizaciji, demokratizaciji in strpnosti prehitela preostali del države.
V osrednjem delu se prispevek osredotoča na predstavitev pomembnejših predstavnikov alternativne kulturne scene, še zlasti pa na  kompleksno kulturno-umetniško figuro, »konglomerat FV«, ki je v osemdesetih letih predstavljala ustvarjalno gledališko in glasbeno skupino, v kateri je združevala aktualne družbene vsebine z inovativnimi tehničnimi in umetniškimi sredstvi; v okviru klubskega programa FV diska pa je združevala in predstavljala raznoliko kulturno umetniško produkcijo in omogočala prostor druženja alternativne javnosti ter dokumentirala dogajanje s pomočjo lastne videoprodukcije.

Primer obračuna z Revijo 57 konec 50-ih let je bil eden najbolj razvpitih sporov slovenskih komunistov z mlajšo generacijo intelektualcev, ki so po drugi svetovni vojni oblikovali svoj svetovni nazor. Jože Pučnik je med somišljeniki, ki so pozornost pritegnili s svojo ostrino, še posebej izstopal. Že med študijem je v svojih člankih v Reviji 57 kritiziral režim. V najbolj spornem članku je analiziral razhajanja med idejami vladajoče elite in realnostjo ter med miselnostjo in delom komunistov dve desetletji prej, ko so delovali nezakonito, in po vojni, ko so se utrdili na oblasti. Konec leta 1958 in v začetku 1959 je bila Revija 57 večkrat tarča kritik vodilnih politikov in tema številnih sej visokih organov. Politiki so neprestano ponavljali, da gre za skupino mlajših intelektualcev, ki da je snovala ilegalno sovražno organizacijo, širila protidržavno propagando in đilasovstvo, pozivala delavce k štrajku itd. Višek obračuna je bilo sojenju Pučniku 30. marca 1959, v katerem je bil obsojen na devet let hude zaporne kazni.
Trajnost i promena. Abortusna kultura, liberalizacija propisa i pokušaji seksualne edukacije stanovništva Jugoslavije (1918–1991)

Prispevek preučuje ureditev in prakso načrtovanja družin v Jugoslaviji v 20. stoletju. Čeprav so se družbeno-gospodarske razmere v državi spreminjale, dvigal se je življenjski standard in kontracepcija je postala širše dostopna, je za večino parov v celotnem dvajsetem stoletju splav, najprej nezakonit, nato zakonit, ostal eden od osnovnih "metod" spontanega in nepremišljenega načrtovanja starševstva. Paradoksalno je, da je bil, kljub svobodnejši spolnosti in seksualni revoluciji, ki sta se zgodili po vojni, ter prizadevanjem za odpiranje svetovalnih centrov, širjenju kontracepcije in t. i. "humanizaciji odnosov med spoloma", eden temeljnih uspehov državne politike na področju načrtovanja družine dekriminaliziranje splava in njegova "selitev" v bolnišnice in ambulante. Na podlagi virov iz Arhiva Jugoslavije in relevantnih periodičnih publikacij ter literature bo avtorica skušala odgovoriti na vprašanje, zakaj je imela državna politika pri tem skromne rezultate, pa tudi, kakšni motivi so vplivali na pare, da so se odločali za družine z enim ali dvema otrokoma.
Srenjska zemlja v sodobnem mednarodnem zgodovinopisju
Authors: Meden Nikita
Published: February 2021

Prispevek se posveča srenjski zemlji, kakor jo obravnava novejše mednarodno zgodovinopisje na prelomu 20. in 21. stoletja. Prispevek vsebuje pogled na pereče vprašanje o gospodarski smotrnosti kolektivne lastnine in/ali rabe v primerjavi s privatno. Poudarjeno je vprašanje lastninskih in posestnih pravic na srenjski zemlji, ki je uvideno kot ključno pri vzpostavitvi njene trajnosti. Srenjska zemlja je v navezi z institucijo vaške skupnosti, ki v večji ali manjši meri sprejema upravljalske odločitve na srenjski zemlji, obravnavana kot fenomen, ki ga oblikujejo in spreminjajo notranji in zunanji dejavniki, ki morajo biti prepoznani in razumljeni. Dobršen del je namenjen razpravi o vplivu določitve lastninskih in posestnih pravic na okolje, kar gre kvalificirati kot eno ključnih tem, s katerimi se ukvarja okoljska zgodovina. Poleg omenjenega v sklopu aktualnih vprašanj obravnavamo tudi vlogo običajev in kolektivnega nadzora vaške skupnosti v okviru njene upravljalske funkcije.
Ludwig Jahne (1856-1937)
Authors: Peternel Marija Mojca
Published: February 2021

Prispevek želi predstaviti življenje in delovanje Ludwiga Jahnea, ki ga Avstrijski biografski leksikon sicer označuje kot kemika, rezultati raziskave pa kažejo, da je njegovo delovanje močno preseglo okvire kemijske znanosti. Poleg vodilnih funkcij v Pliberški rudarski zvezi (BBU) je Ludwig Jahne zapustil precejšnji opus proznega in pesniškega ustvarjanja. Zelo aktiven je bil v planinskih sekcijah Avstrijskega turističnega kluba, gorohodcem njegovega časa pa so ga gotovo poznali tudi kot  avtorja številnih planinskih vodnikov po Karavankah in po Koroški nasploh. Skupna nit vsem področjem njegovega delovanja je bila ljubezen do narave, zgodovine in nemškega naroda.
Yugoslavia and the German Democratic Republic, 1968-1974
Authors: Klomp Jasper
Published: February 2021

Following the Warsaw Pact’s military reaction against the Prague Spring, quarrels between the leaderships of the SFRY and GDR soared too. Divergences between Yugoslav and East German socialism were once again emphasised. This resulted in a six-year pause concerning visits by both states’ leaders to the respective other state. The analysis of political and economic contacts between the SFRY and GDR in the period 1968-1974 nevertheless reveals that in this time interval, multiple remarkable forms of economic affiliations were set-up by Yugoslav and East German partners. In a period of complex political relations, Yugoslav and East German actors aimed for mutually beneficial economic cooperation and an alleged alternative to capitalist globalisation.

Examining the role of urban form In shaping people's accessibility to opportunities: An exploratory spatial data analysis
Authors: Scott Darren , Horner Mark
Published: February 2021

This study employs a comprehensive suite of accessibility indices to investigate whether American cities are designed in such a way that the locations of goods, services, and other opportunities favor certain socio-economic groups over others. In so doing, the study’s findings contribute to pressing policy issues such as social exclusion. Seven counties of the Louisville, KY-IN MSA serve as the study area for the investigation. Data are derived from three sources: a geocoded travel diary survey that was conducted in the study area in 2000, a geocoded database of all urban opportunities in the study area, and a database containing shortest path travel times between the locations of households and urban opportunities. Accessibility indices (i.e., gravity, cumulative opportunity, and proximity) are computed for households found in the trip diary survey. Furthermore, these indices are defined for 34 types of opportunities: four aggregate types (i.e., retail, service, leisure, and religious) and 30 disaggregate types representing the 10 most popular destinations for trips for each of the first three aggregate types. Non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum tests are used to compare the accessibilities of five socio-economic groups (i.e., individuals residing in rural communities, individuals residing in single-person and single-parent households, individuals residing in low-income households, women, and the elderly) to their counterparts. Except for individuals residing in rural areas, our findings indicate that groups, which conventional wisdom would suggest are at risk of social exclusion, are not disadvantaged in terms of accessibility.
Anti-inflammatory diet and inflammatory bowel disease: what clinicians and patients should know?
Authors: Shafiee Nor Hamizah , Manaf Zahara Abdul , Mokhtar Norfilza M. , Raja Ali Raja Affendi
Published: February 2021

Current treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes the application of anti-inflammatory agents for the induction and remission of IBD. However, prolonged use of anti-inflammatory agents can exert adverse effects on patients. Recently, formulated dietary approach in treating IBD patients is utilized to improve clinical activity scores. An alteration of gastrointestinal microbiota through dietary therapy was found to reduce IBD and is recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy for IBD. One of the recommended formulated diets is an anti-inflammatory diet (AID) that restricts the intake of carbohydrates with modified fatty acids. This diet also contains probiotics and prebiotics that can promote balanced intestinal microbiota composition. However, scientific evidences are limited to support this specific dietary regime in maintaining the remission and prevention relapse of IBD. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize available data from various studies to evaluate the AID diet effectiveness which will be useful for clinicians to manage their IBD patients by application of improved dietary therapy.
Kierkegaardian Inwardness and the Good Life in Jane Austen'sMansfield Park
Authors: Black Tim
Published: February 2021

Jane Austen's Mansfield Park can be read through the lens of a Kierkegaardian interpretive option that allows us to see the novel as endorsing inwardness, a choice for the internal over the external, for that which is identical to our selves over that which is distinct from our selves. There is freedom in choosing inwardness, Kierkegaard maintains. So, since Fanny Price, Mansfield Park's beleaguered protagonist, chooses a life lived in pursuit of inwardness, we can see her as securing her own emancipation: she is free, liberated, in a way that distinguishes her from other characters in Mansfield Park.

Uma Voz jornalística durante o regime militar no Paraná
Authors: Gadini Sergio Luiz
Published: February 2021

O texto apresenta, em forma de resenha, o livro “Jornal Voz do Paraná: uma história de resistência” (2019), da autoria de Diego Antonelli. Resultado de uma recente pesquisa histórica e jornalística, o autor recupera a trajetória de um periódico impresso que surge em 1956, a partir da igreja católica, e aos poucos amplia a projeção e alcance editorial, chegando a contribuir como espaço de expressão plural, pautando temas silenciados pelos demais meios de comunicação, durante o regime militar (1964-85). O livro preenche um dos vazios em torno da ausência de material bibliográfico e de pesquisa sobre os sombrios tempos da ditadura em um Estado (Paraná) fora do eixo do controle político nacional.
