Kemik metastazlı olgularda palyatif radyoterapi uygulamalarının retrospektif değerlendirmesi: tek merkez deneyimi
Authors: GÖKSEL Fatih
Published: December 2019

Amaç: Kanserli hastaların %10-15’inde kemik metastazı ilk bulgudur ve %30-90’ında kemik metastazı görülür. Kemik metastazları kansere bağlı ağrının en sık nedenlerinden birisidir. Radyoterapi (RT) ağrı palyasyonunu kısa bir sürede sağlaması, patolojik fraktür gelişmesini önlemesi ve minimal yan etki oluşturması nedeni ile kemik metastazlarında ilk tercih edilen palyasyon yöntemlerindendir. Çalışmamızda palyatif amaçlı RT almış kemik metastazlı hastalarımızın tanıları, demografik dağılımı ve sayısal durumunun tek merkez deneyimleri yönünden değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2016 – Eylül 2019 yılları arasında Radyasyon Onkolojisi Kliniğinde kemiklere palyatif amaçlı RT uygulanan hastaların tedavi dosyaları ve Hastane Bilgi Yönetim Sistemi geriye dönük taranarak elde edilen kayıtlar kullanıldı. Tüm kayıtlar arşivlerdeki dosyalarla karşılaştırılarak teyit edildi. Palyatif amaçlı RT uygulanan hastaların profilleri, cinsiyet, yaş, histolojik tipi, tedavi şeması ve fraksiyon sayıları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışma sürecinde kliniğimizde radyoterapi uygulanan toplam 10254 hastanın palyatif kemik RT uygulanan 1469(%14)'u değerlendirmeye alındı. Son iki yılda palyatif kemik RT uygulanan hasta sayılarında oransal olarak azalma görülmemiştir.Palyatif kemik RT uygulanan 1469 hastanın %48’i kadın, %52’si erkekdir. Hastalarımızda primer tümöre göre dağılımları; meme kanserleri (%31), prostat kanserleri (%17), primeri bilinmeyen kanserler (%15), akciğer kanseri (%15), GİS kanserleri (%9), mesane kanserleri (%4) ve diğer kanserler (%10) olarak saptanmıştır. Palyatif kemik RT uygulanan kadınlarda medyan yaş 55, erkeklerde medyan yaş 64 olup tüm hastalarda medyan yaş 60 (sınırlar 13-93) bulundu. Son 4 yılda palyatif kemik RT uygulanan en sık 7 kanser tanısında cinsiyet ve yıl bazlı anlamlı değişiklik görülmemiştir. Palyatif kemik RT alan hastaların 888 'ine 2-5 fraksiyonluk tedavi (%60), 420'sine 6-10 fraksiyonlu tedavi (%29) ve 161' hastaya da tek fraksiyonluk (%11) tedavi şemalarının uygulandığı saptandı. Tedavi şemalarında da anlamlı değişiklik görülmemiştir. Çalışmamızdaki farklı doz-fraksiyon şemaları oranı literatürle uyumludur.
Sonuç: Kemik metastazlı hastalara palyatif RT doz-fraksiyon şeması seçiminde optimal doz ve fraksiyon şemaları çok değişkendir. Bu sonuçlar ışığında kemik metastazlı hastalara palyatif RT doz-fraksiyon şeması seçiminde karar verirken; hastaya ait özellikler, tedavi etkileşimleri, fiziki şartlar, iş yükü ve ekonomik maliyetler göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Palyatif RT, yüksek palyasyon oranı, kısa süreli uygulanma imkanı, toksisitesi az ve tekrar uygulama imkanı olması nedeni ile kemik metastazlı hastaların çoğunda standart uygulamadır.

Published: December 2019

The Ministry of Agriculture has designed a planting calendar technology so that farmers can carry out the cultivation using the technical guidelines. But at the operational level the adoption rate of the planting calendar technology is still relatively low. This paper aims to describe how the process of adoption of agricultural technology innovation, especially regarding the planting calendar occurs in farmers in Cimanuk sub-district, Pandenglang, Banten. location-based rice specific and know the level of adoption. The results of the study illustrate that the adoption of the planting technology innovation in the Cimanuk sub-district is influenced by the needs of the farmers themselves to the planting calendar technology itself. In addition, the nature of farmers' cosmopolitanism also influences how the adoption of the calendar planting technology is among them. On the other hand, agricultural extension workers have actually worked well in providing material related to planting techniques as guided by the planting calendar, and generally farmers in the Cimanuk Pandeglang sub-district gave a positive appreciation. It's just that the habits and the strength of their traditional farming patterns have occupied the highest position in their mindset in farming.

Published: December 2019

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) Processes is to be determined as metal forming processes in which a very large plastic strain is imposed on a bulk process in which to make an ultra-fine-grained metal. Generating an ultrafine grained metal is to allow lightweight parts by using high strength metal for the safety and reliability of micro-parts and for eco-friendly, is the main intention of SPD Processes. In Severe plastic deformation processes (SPD), repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) are one of the new technical processes, in which the grain size is reduced to ultrafine grain size then the strength of copper is going to be increased by using this process in this project. The Taguchi optimization technique is utilized with conventional orthogonal array L9, in which to determine the process parameters are statistically significant on hardness. Finally, the verification test was carried out to investigate optimization enhancements.

Authors: Fraga Scofield Cynthia , Rodrigues Thiago V. , Oliveira Caroline D. , Raddi de Araujo e Lucia R.
Published: December 2019

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel with excellent lubricity and biodegradability. However, its use may be compromised by factors that change its characteristics and occur during production, transportation and/or storage. Some of them are associated with biodiesel stability and can affect vehicle performance. The objective of this work was to analyze the main causes of cottonseed oil biodiesel instability due to the storage process, determining some physicochemical properties as kinematic viscosity, acidity index, refractive index, electrical conductivity as well as ester content, mass of precipitate formed and pH. The acidity and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel from cottonseed oil increase with storage time. The latter suggests the occurrence of a partial oxidation of biodiesel with formation of products that increase its viscosity. Gas chromatography results showed that even after thermo-oxidative treatment, biodiesel samples maintained the minimum ester content required by the ANP (Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) and unsaturated bonds tends to be preferentially oxidized over other carbon-carbon bonds. There was no significant influence of light exposure (storage in amber and transparent vials) on the ester content, refractive index and mass of precipitate formed. On the other hand, the latter was influenced by the heating time.

Authors: Ridwan Andi , Agus Nurariaty , Melina Ms , Abdullah Tamrin
Published: December 2019

Prays endocarpa Meyrick is a kind of pest that attacks pummelo (Citrus maxima Merr.) lowering the quality and the selling price of the fruits. Information about the use of ants as a pest predator has been widely found. This research aims to test the use of Oecophylla smaragdina ant to control attack from P. endocarpa on pummelo. Two treatments were carried out, namely treatment with exposure of O. smaragdina ants on fruiting stalks and without exposure of O. smaragdina ants. Exposure of O. smaragdina was carried out for three weeks since the fruits were still young, sized 10-15 millimeters. The level of attack and the number of fallen pummelo fruits were observed during six weeks of treatment. The observations showed that the average rate of damage of P. endocarpa was lower in treatment with exposure of O. smaragdina (17.24%) compared to treatment without (81.25%). Likewise, the results found on average of the number of fallen fruits were lower in treatment with exposure of O. smaragdina ants (9.3%) compared to treatment without ant exposure (50.0%). Mann Whitney test at the 0.05% level used for the two observations showed a significant difference between the two treatments. O. smaragdina ants are reliable as a controller for P. endocarpa damage on pummelo.

Authors: Mehta Charul , Patel Asmita , Singh Diwakar , Patel Bhavin
Published: December 2019

Background: Diphtheria, a very common vaccine-preventable disease, is still persistent in India without much decline in the past decade. Objective: The objective of this study was to study the clinicoepidemiological profile of diphtheria in children up to 12 years of age, their outcome in tertiary care hospital of Western Gujarat. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted among 164 children admitted in the tertiary hospital of Western Gujarat, who were diagnosed with during the period of July 2016–August 2018. Results: It was observed that the highest prevalence of diphtheria was seen in the age group of 5–9 years. There was slight male preponderance with 1.5:1. The majority of patients were referred from rural areas. Immunization status was the most determining feature as 68 patients out of the study population were unimmunized at the time of admission. Conclusion: The rise in the prevalence in more advanced age group of 8–12 years might be due to waning immunity and emphasizes on the need for increasing primary immunization coverage along with both booster doses in areas having less adequate health-care facilities or poor access.

Authors: Srivastava Prashant , Mishra Ruchi , Dubey A P , Bagla Jyoti
Published: December 2019

Background: Hepatic dysfunction is a frequent manifestation in thalassemic patients receiving multiple blood transfusions (BTs) as a part of treatment. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the liver function profile in thalassemic children and its correlation with the age of initiation of transfusion therapy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done among 32 thalassemic patients in the age group of 1–18 years visiting a tertiary care hospital regularly for BTs at the Department of Pediatrics at the tertiary hospital of North India. Liver function tests (LFTs) were done in all thalassemic patients included total bilirubin, liver enzymes (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT], serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT], and alkaline phosphatase [ALP]), total protein, serum albumin, serum ferritin, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and anti-hepatitis C virus. The age of initiation of BT was also recorded. Derangement in LFTs and correlation between the age of initiation of transfusion therapy and derangement of liver function were studied. Results: Out of 32 patients, only 7 (21.87%) had normal LFT values. A total of 17 (53.12%) had increased SGOT, 15 (46.87%) had increased SGPT, and 25 (78.12%) had increased bilirubin levels. Total protein and serum albumin were below normal in 5 (15.65%) and 3 (9.3%) patients, respectively. ALP was increased in 24 (75%) patients. Majority of the patients (43.75%) had serum ferritin between 2000 and 2999 ng/ml. Only two patients had significantly deranged LFTs. No patient was positive for HBsAg. However, we did not find a significant correlation between age of initiation of transfusion therapy and derangement of liver enzymes in these patients. Conclusion: If thalassemic patients are given properly tested blood and regular chelation therapy, liver function remains normal. Immunization against hepatitis B and testing of blood bags is recommended. It is also recommended that LFT should be done regularly at 3 months interval to detect any abnormality.

Authors: Prakash Anubhav , Richa Richa , Sahni Gopal Shankar
Published: December 2019

Background: Neonatal seizures (NS) are an important cause of admission in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in India. While the drug which stood the test of time is phenobarbitone (PB), levetiracetam (LEV) may be a better alternative with superior effects. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of LEV and PB for the treatment and follow-up of term neonates with NS. Materials and Methods: This open-labeled randomized controlled trial was carried out on 80 newborn babies suffering from clinically apparent seizures who were admitted in a tertiary care NICU of Bihar. All admitted term neonates who were without transient metabolic disorders (hypoglycemia or hypocalcemia) were randomly assigned. LEV (n=42) at an intravenous (IV) doses of 10 mg/kg was gradually increased to 15 mg/kg and PB (n=38) at a dose of 20 mg/kg/dose IV over 20 min gradually increased in aliquots of 10 mg/kg up to 40 mg/kg total dose. Neonates whose seizures were not controlled by the assigned drug were then crossed over to be treated with the other drug in same dose. Results: Clinical features and baseline characteristics were compared in both groups. Seizures were controlled in 66.6% neonates who received LEV, as compared to 81.5% neonates who received PB (p>0.05). Short-term adverse effects (cardiorespiratory depression and sedation) were noted in 52.6% babies in PB group in comparison to 7.1% babies in LEV group (p<0.05). Long-term neuromotor and developmental complications were less in LEV group as compared to PB group (p<0.05) at 1 year of age. Conclusion: LEV and PB, both were equally effective in control of clinical seizures irrespective of the etiology, but LEV is superior in terms of short- and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes than PB.

Authors: Subramanian Sharan , Malik Sushma , Wade Poonam Abhay
Published: December 2019

Background: Newborn babies with sepsis and perinatal asphyxia form a high-risk group for developing neonatal acute kidney injury (nAKI). The diagnosis and staging of nAKI is challenging and has several limitations. Objective: The objectives of this study were to estimate the hospital-based incidence of nAKI in septic and asphyxiated neonates, describe their clinical profile and outcome, and compare the two classifications – neonatal risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease (nRIFLE) and neonatal modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for their agreement. Materials and Methods: Consecutive neonates who fulfilled the diagnosis of sepsis or perinatal asphyxia were included in this prospective cohort study. Urine output was monitored 6 hourly by diaper weight and serum creatinine every 48 h or earlier if required. The clinical profile and outcome of neonates who developed AKI were studied, and AKI was staged using both nRIFLE and KDIGO criteria. Chi-square test was used to test the association of risk factors with AKI, Pearson’s Chi-square and Kappa statistics were used to compare the two staging criteria. Results: Of 90 neonates enrolled, the incidence of AKI in sepsis was 145/1000 neonates and perinatal asphyxia was 464/1000 neonates. AKI was maximally observed in the early preterm neonates (45.4%) and very low birth weight neonates (36.36%). Oliguria was present in a majority of the neonates with nAKI but varied according to the classification system used. nAKI was significantly associated with high mortality (54.2%) (p<0.01) which increased with decreasing gestation and birth weight and increasing severity of nAKI. On comparing KDIGO and nRIFLE criteria, there was a poor agreement between the two. Conclusion: AKI is a common occurrence in septic and asphyxiated neonates and portends poor outcomes. Although studies have evaluated nRIFLE and KDIGO individually, larger studies comparing the two criteria are required to improve early diagnosis and accurate staging of neonatal AKI.

Authors: Minarey Naikey , Gornale Vinod Kumar , Singh Karan Bahadur , Ghosh Newton , Shrivastava Priyanka
Published: December 2019

Background: Neonatal sepsis (NS) is the most common cause of neonatal mortality responsible for about 30–50% of total neonatal deaths in developing countries. Surveillance of causative organisms and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern promotes the rational use of antibiotics and antibiotic stewardship. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to study the prevalence of NS in newborn intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital of Central India and to isolate the most common organism involved in sepsis in our setting. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted and relevant data of the neonates diagnosed with culture-positive sepsis were obtained from the case records during the period from February 2018 to February 2019. Culture-positive sepsis was defined as the isolation of bacterial pathogen from blood in neonates with clinical suspicion of sepsis. Results: A total of 223 neonates were enrolled. The major morbidities were hyperbilirubinemia (23.3%), birth asphyxia (14.3%), sepsis (53.8%), and respiratory distress (32.7%). The main causes of neonatal mortality were birth asphyxia (9.8%), prematurity (18.83%), sepsis (32.23), hyaline membrane disease (13.4%), and meconium aspiration syndrome (13.9%). A total of 120 cultures were found to be positive. The most common organism isolated was Staphylococcus aureus (39.3%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (34%). Candida albicans was also isolated. Conclusion: Culture-positive NS accounted for 53.8% of all cases and is the major cause of mortality (32.28%) in the present study. Sepsis caused by Gram-positive bacteria was the most common among the neonates, although mortality was more in Gram-negative sepsis. Therefore, empirical regimen should be modified based on antibiogram of the isolates.

Published: December 2019

Neurolysis of the celiac plexus has been found to be an effective way of palliating chronic pain due to non-pelvic intra-abdominal organ pathologies such as upper abdominal malignancies and chronic pancreatitis. We assessed the effectiveness of celiac plexus block (CPB) for pain due to chronic pancreatitis in pediatric age group. Eleven children between the age group of 3–10 years suffering from abdominal pain due to chronic pancreatitis underwent CPB through transaortic approach. Assessment of pain relief compared to pre-procedure status was done using Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Ten out of 11 children had symptomatic relief post-procedure and on 6 months follow-up. One child had relapse of pain after 3 months of CPB. We conclude that CPB is a promising solution for tackling intractable pain due to chronic pancreatitis in pediatric age group.
Two novel mutations with 17 hydroxylase deficiency – Alpha and beta presenting as 46XY disorders of sexual development
Authors: Lohiya Nikhil , Khadilkar Vaman , Mehta Kamini , Khadilkar Anuradha
Published: December 2019

17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17 beta-hydroxylase deficiency are rare causes of 46XY disorders of sexual development. The gene for 17 alpha-hydroxylase enzyme (CYP17A1) is located at 10q24.3 and for 17 beta-hydroxylase is (17?HSD3) on 9q22. CYP17A1 can present with delayed puberty and hyporeninemic, hypokalemic hypertension. In 17?HSD3 deficiency, a biochemical pointer to diagnosis includes a stimulated ratio of testosterone (T) to androstenedione (A) of <0.8. We report two cases, one with 17?HSD3 defect in infancy with atypical genitalia and second with CYP17A1 which presented in childhood with novel mutations. There is a wide spectrum of phenotypic presentations of these disorders. Genetic analysis gives confirmation.
Congenital malaria presenting as late-onset sepsis in infant with mother treated with antimalarial therapy: A case report
Authors: Bhageria Prachi , Dhyani Anuj , Gupta Vipul , Gupta Arvind , Sharma Seshendra
Published: December 2019

Incidence of congenital malaria has been reported to be in the range between 0.3% and 30% in both the endemic and non-endemic areas. Malaria in pregnancy and congenital malaria are epidemiologically less investigated in India. Timely intervention and awareness are necessary for desirable outcome and prevention of the condition and to prevent perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Herein, we report a case of a 1-month-old male baby, presenting with high-grade fever, feeding difficulty, and hepatosplenomegaly on examination. Mother had a history of chills and rigors in her first trimester and was found to be smear positive for Plasmodium vivax. Investigations of the child revealed thrombocytopenia, raised C-reactive protein and positive peripheral smear for P. vivax. She was treated with Inj. artesunate and cured. Thus, congenital malaria should be considered as a differential diagnosis in newborn presenting with clinical features of sepsis even when mother has been adequately treated.

Authors: Okike Clifford O , Muoneke Uzoamaka V , Ezinne Okite O , Ezeonwu Bertilla U , Okolo Angela A
Published: December 2019

Tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease caused by the neurotoxin of Clostridium tetani: A motile, Gram-positive, sporeforming obligate anaerobe commonly found in the soil, dust, and alimentary canals of various animals. It remains a public health challenge in the developing countries as the morbidity and mortality rates remain high unlike in the developed world where the incidence is markedly low and no longer contributory to significant mortality. We report two male adolescents admitted in the pediatric department of a tertiary medical center of Nigeria for severe tetanus following an open injury to the limbs. Due to poor response to initial management with the combination of chlorpromazine, phenobarbitone, and diazepam, the latter was replaced with continuous infusion of magnesium sulfate after a loading dose was administered. Both the patients recovered without any prevailing complications and were discharged after 26 and 50 days of hospitalization, respectively, after receiving tetanus toxoid and were subsequently followed up. Successful severe tetanus management without the use of sophisticated medical gadgets and expensive treatment in a resource-poor economy is achievable as demonstrated by our study with the use of magnesium sulfate infusion.
Leading Energy Performance Indicator: Tracking of Energy Management Systems in Oil and Gas Companies
Authors: Hashim Mustafa Kamal , Hassim Mimi Haryani , Ng Denny Kok Sum , Ten Joon Yoon
Published: December 2019

This paper presents a novel methodology that track and measures the overall energy performance in oil and gas companies based on the leading energy performance indicator (EnPI). Although such tool does not directly measure an actual and reflect an as-is operational data of the companies’ energy performance, it tracks the achievements in the key work processes or the implementation status of an Energy Management Systems (EnMS). As introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011, EnMS consists of interacting elements from proven deployment and implementation steps based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continual improvement framework. The lacks of industrial standards and literature have resulted in the sparse application of leading EnPI. The proposed leading EnPI tool is based on the defined activities that affect the deployment and implementation of EnMS. Such tool is required for continuous improvement and promotion of strong partnership among all stakeholders. To illustrate the proposed methodology, the progress of EnMS implementation, identification of energy-saving initiatives, and review of potential energy savings of the major oil and gas companies are performed.

Published: December 2019

A excessiva quantidade de informação não é um fenômeno do século XXI, assim como também não é a criação de notícias falsas. Em meio a esse contexto, vincula-se a sociedade da informação, que diante da expressiva produção de fake news (notícias falsas), contribui para o fortalecimento da pós-verdade, resultando na desinformação em diferentes âmbitos e em escala global. Esta pesquisa relaciona-se o tema das fake news ao profissional da informação, elucidando suas competências e conduta ética. Dessa forma, convoca-se os autores que abordam sobre o perfil do bibliotecário, sobretudo como mediador. O estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar a percepção dos egressos do curso de Biblioteconomia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte quanto as suas competências no combate a disseminação das fake news. Como instrumento de coleta de informações recorreu-se ao questionário composto por perguntas fechadas e abertas. Percebeu-se que os egressos conhecem acerca das notícias falsas e seus desdobramentos, buscando em determinadas situações combater o uso e a propagação das fake news. Sugere-se a ampliação da pesquisa com outros egressos, envolvendo as temáticas da ética e da competência frente as notícias falsas e seus correlatos: pós-verdade e desinformação.

Produção e tipologia documental de movimentos sociais
Authors: Camoleze Jean , Trointiño Sonia
Published: December 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a contribuição da tipologia documental para a organização e contextualização de documentos produzidos por movimentos sociais. Para tanto, a reflexão baseia-se em um trabalho metateórico e um estudo de caso realizado no arquivo do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra do Brasil (MST), um dos movimentos de penetração social mais bem organizados e amplos do país. Como resultado, constatou-se que a produção de registros dessa organização social mantém os elementos característicos dos documentos de arquivo, ainda que sejam produzidos em organizações não caracterizadas como uma entidade jurídica. Da mesma forma, foi possível identificar que os documentos populares, representação documental típica dos movimentos sociais, têm valor educativo, cultural e exercem o ato comunicativo em todos os momentos, permitindo a recuperação de relações orgânicas, muitas vezes pouco evidentes, mas que também confirmam arquivística dos documentos produzidos por essas não instituições, no sentido tradicional.

Aborda em termos conceituais e teóricos o tratamento temático da informação realizado no contexto da organização do conhecimento. Objetiva analisar as abordagens e enfoques das pesquisas desenvolvidas sobre tratamento temático da informação e publicadas na modalidade de artigo científico. Metodologicamente constitui estudo descritivo de natureza quali-quantitativa. Caracteriza-se ainda como pesquisa bibliográfica, executada a partir de coleta na Base de Dados em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI) e com análise sustentada em sistematização estatística via gráfico e análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam uma distribuição de trabalhos ao longo dos últimos 10 anos, com predomínio de abordagens sobre o próprio tratamento temático, em detrimento de seus instrumentos, processos e produtos característicos, além do enfoque teórico na maioria das pesquisas publicadas na modalidade de artigo científico. Conclui-se que o assunto tem buscado, aos poucos, uma solidificação, tornada evidente em muitos trabalhos já nos títulos empregados para nomear as produções.

Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English)

Keywords: Court of Slovenian National Honour, judges, criminal procedure, penal policy, criminal proceedings, loss of national honour, forced labour, confiscation of property, Ptuj, 1945

Abstract: At the beginning of June 1945, the Court of Slovenian National Honor was established. Until the end of August 1945, those who cooperated in any way with the occupiers during the war were put to trial. It imposed the following penalties and/or sentences: loss of national honour, light or heavy forced labour, and total or partial confiscation of property for the benefit of the State. The five-member chambers operated in Ljubljana, Kranj, Novo mesto, Celje, Maribor, Ptuj, and Murska Sobota. The chairs and secretaries of the chambers were jurists, and the members of the chambers were persons without legal qualifications. There were two chambers in Ptuj; the first hearing against the eight defendants was on July 9, 1945. The proceedings before the court were prompt. In total, 382 persons appeared before the two chambers in Ptuj, of which 308 were sentenced and 74 acquitted. Following the abolition of the Court and the granting of a pardon, the convicts were fully spared from light or heavy forced labour. The legal consequences for those who were stripped of their national honour were limited to the loss of political and civil rights, including voting rights. The confiscation penalty remained in force.
Ivan Potrč in Narte Velikonja na sončni in senčni strani revolucije
Authors: Čeh Steger Jožica
Published: December 2019

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper
Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English)

Key words: Ivan Potrč, Narte Velikonja, victors in the revolution, victims of communism, social realism

Abstract: Slovenian writers at the end of the Second World War shared the fate of many intellectuals which included all on the spectrum from the winners to the losers in the communist revolution. In this piece, we try to highlight the lives and literary paths of two Slovenian authors after the Second World War, Ivan Potrč and Narte Velikonja. Potrč was since his high school years an avowed communist, a political prisoner in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, an inmate in the concentration camp Mauthausen, and a partisan. After the war, he occupied senior political positions. The fate of Narte Velikonja, a pro-catholic high ranking banovina official and co-worker of Rupnik during the war, ended tragically. The post-war communist authorities sentenced him to death by firing squad on June 23, 1945. As writers, Ivan Potrč and Narte Velikonja connect in their delicate narrative prose.
Med begom pred sovjetsko preteklostjo in vračanjem vanjo. Stranke in volitve v Ukrajini in Belorusiji med leti 1989 in 2013
Authors: Maver Aleš , Friš Darko , Bajc Gorazd
Published: December 2019

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: history of Ukraine, history of Belarus, party systems, political parties, Yulia Tymoshenko, Rukh movement, Alyaksandr Lukashenka, Communist parties in post-Soviet countries, politics of the post-Soviet environments Synopsis: The development of respective party systems in Ukraine and Belarus immediately before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union could hardly be more different. In Ukraine a solid party system was slow to emerge. Different historical experiences and cultural features in various parts of the country as well as strong linking of political groupings to particular personalities or rather economic power groups prevented formation of stable parties with firm base of support in all regions of Ukraine. The divide between east and west, established already in 1994 and reinforced during the presidential election in 2004, has remained the main feature of Ukrainian politics until today. Belarus, on the other hand, can be seen as a country where political parties exert the weakest influence in all Europe. Animosity towards party politics has been rooted in Soviet traditions, but it has also been systematically encouraged by the president Alyaksandr Lukashenka's regime.

Keywords: United States of America, European Economic Community, Yugoslavia, Slovenia, 1991, international recognition, diplomacy, The New York Times

Abstract: Based on the study of newspaper material (both Slovenian and foreign, especially The New York Times), published documents and the most relevant literature, the article focuses on the diplomatic efforts of Slovenian political leaders to achieve Slovenia's international recognition, and the reaction of the rest of the world to it. The position of US official policy on the issue of Slovenia's international recognition is particularly emphasized, as well as the reporting of the US press on the policy of the United States of America and the countries of the European Economic Community towards Slovenia. The timeframe covered by the article is from the end of June 1991, when Slovenia (as well as Croatia) declared independence, to the first half of April 1992, when the United States recognized Slovenia as an independent and sovereign state.
Slovensko slovo od Habsburžanov

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper
Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English)

Key words: Yugoslav Club, Emperor Charles I, May declaration, Anton Korošec, Anton Bonaventura Jeglič, Ljubljana statement, National Council for Slovenia and Istria

Abstract: Before the First World War, Slovenians were regarded as the most loyal followers of the Habsburg dynasty, but they opposed the dualistic organizational structure of the Monarchy. The realization of their national goals was long sought after within the framework of the Habsburg Monarchy, but it was a while before a turnaround happened in favor of the Yugoslavs. Even the May Declaration, which was read by the chairman of the Yugoslav Club Anton Korošec in the National Assembly on May 30, 1917, aimed at the Yugoslav state under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty. The heir apparent Franz Ferdinand planed for constitutional changes in favor of Southern Slavs, and after he was assassinated the new Emperor Charles I. also sought changes in these directions. These were opposed energetically by the Hungarians and German nationalists. The new emperor did not have strong support in Vienna, and he lost all of it after the Sixtus affair. The consequence of this was that he lacked the necessary support for constitutional changes or solving of the Yugoslav question.
Kulturnoprosvetne razmere na Slovenskem ob državnem prelomu leta 1918
Authors: Kerec Darja
Published: December 2019

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper
Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English)

Key words: 1918, Slovenians, culture, education

Abstract: This piece sheds light on the cultural and educational conditions in the Slovenian Lands during the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian. The final months of 1918 were uncertain for teachers, cultural workers, and artists. Almost all the most recognizable Slovenians, among them Izidor Cankar and Rihard Jakopič, emphasized the importance of funding and constructing cultural institutions (university, academy of arts and sciences, national library and national gallery), independent from German capital and influence. The transition into a new state or rather kingdom was by many seen as a unique opportunity for national sovereignty, which can endure only with solid financial support from the new authorities and with the commitment to independent education and all cultural activities.

These were not only ethnic Germans by origin, but also Germanified or German speaking townspeople. Also presented are their daily hardships in light of the poor economic situation in the town during the last year of the First World War, their social life, relations with the Slovenian-speaking population in the city, political views on the future of the Monarchy and Maribor, and their reactions to the gradual Slovenian takeover of power in the city.

Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English)

Keywords: Austria-Hungary, Carinthia, United Kingdom, attempts at separate peace, 1918, Harold William Vazeille Temperley, manuals, diplomacy

Abstract: Based on an analysis of British sources and the most relevant scholarly literature, the article focuses on the knowledge on and attitude of London's foreign policy towards Austro-Hungary in 1918 and what happened in Carinthia after the collapse of the Central European monarchy in the same year. As regards the latter, historians have paid little attention to the material kept by the British archives. Their analysis makes it possible to interpret the events of the so-called "third party", that is, those who were not directly affected by the situation on the ground. The archival material used for the purpose of this article is kept by The National Archives (former Public Record Office) in London.
