The Miocene evolution of the area transitional from the Eastern Alps to the Pannonian Basin System was studied through the paleogeographic evolution of the Slovenj Gradec Basin in northern Slovenia. ...It is based on mapping, section logging, nannoplankton biostratigraphy, and petrography. The results are correlated with the lithological column of the borehole MD-1/05. The evolution of the basin is connected with the development of the Pannonian Basin System, and the global 3
order cycles, which influenced the connection with the Mediterranean Sea. Sedimentation started in the Karpatian in a fluvial to lacustrine environment and terminated at the end of the Early Badenian. During this period, three transgression–regression cycles were recorded. The first transgression occurred in the Karpatian and corresponds to the TB 2.2. cycle. The sediments reflect proximity of the hinterland. After a short break in sedimentation, the Early Badenian deposition followed. It marks the second transgression into the SGB, the first Badenian, correlated with the TB 2.3 cycle. There are signs of a transitional environment, which evolved to marine in advanced stages. At the high-stand system tract, the sea flooded the entire Slovenj Gradec Basin. Subsequent reduced quantity and diversity of the microfossils marks the onset of the second regression stage. It is followed by the third transgression, the second in the Badenian, correlated with the TB 2.4 cycle. The late Early Badenian deposition continued in the lower-energy, though occasionally still turbulent environment. Silty sediments with upward increasing content of organic matter indicate shallowing of the basin, until its final diminishing. Layers of fresh-water coal already bear witness to the existence of restricted swamps. After the Early Badenian, the area of the Slovenj Gradec Basin became dry land, exposed to erosion.
In Slovenia, mass movements are not only a threat to the population, but also a major environmental and social science challenge. Lithologically heterogeneous areas have been found to be problematic, ...and the Miocene Slovenj Gradec basin (in northeast Slovenia) is one such area. For this area, we developed landslide and rockfall susceptibility maps based on detailed geological research combined with statistical modeling schemes. Crucial factors include lithological composition, land use, geological structural elements, slope curvature, aspect and inclination, and bed dipping. The approach taken in the development of mass movement susceptibility maps presented here is transferable to other areas defined by heterogeneous lithology. Such maps could prove useful spatial planning, forestry, environmental protection, landscape architecture, and other fields.

Reportaža o transplantaciji kostnega mozga, panorama Slovenj Gradca, bolnišnica, govorijo, dr. Strnad - ravnatelj bolnišnice, dr. Ivo Rajšp - internist, Tone Britovšek - dajalec ...mozga.
Bolnišnica v Slovenj Gradcu je bila ustanovljena pred 70 leti, danes lahko nudi pomoč 228 bolnikom, že letos pa jo bodo povečali še za 170 postelj. Sicer pa, nas zanima predvsem presaditev kostnega mozga. Obiščimo najprej ravnatelja, primarija dr. Strnada in poslušajmo, kaj pravi on o tem pomembnem dogodku.
Izjava dr. Strnad.
Bodi karkoli, ti ljudje iz Slovenj Gradca so opravili veliko delo, upamo pa tudi, da bo njihovo prizadevanje rodilo, še bogate sadove, da bo njihovo delo še uspešnejše.
Information:
This is Slovenj Gradec, a town on the border between the Štajerska and Koroška regions. It is pleasant and homely, as with the majority of historical Slovene regional towns. Nevertheless, an important event has again drawn the attention of entire country recently. The Slovenj Gradec hospital was the venue of the first bone marrow transplant in Slovenia.
Original language summary:
To je Slovenj Gradec, mesto na meji med Štajersko in Koroško. Tako je, kot večina naših starih pokrajinskih mest; prijetno in domače. Toda pred nedavnim je pomemben dogodek spet ponesel ime tega mesta po vsej domovini. V slovenjgraški bolnišnici so prvič v Sloveniji presadili kostni mozeg.
