"Autochthonism" as the constitutional criterion for the definition or constituting of a national minority should not be taken lightly or underrated, not even in very fundamental theoretical ...discourses. The majority of -- indeed non-standardized -- definitions of national minority do give consideration to a certain form of autochthonism, of traditional or lengthy connectedness with the territory of "classical" or "historic" national minorities, which had not been migrating, but were separated, due to historic events, from their parent nation by a state border. At the very beginning of formation of European minority documents, classical national minorities were clearly distinguished from migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, Roma -- "travelers" & other "new minorities." To establish an antagonism between the special rights of each of these deprivileged groups & the fundamental human rights of each individual is an unproductive deed. Adapted from the source document.
The research of recent (predominantly Slovenian, but also Austrian) historiographical &/or social scientific production on Carinthian Slovenians in crossborder ties between Slovenia & the Austrian ...federal province of Carinthia, or Austria -- an issue that has traditionally belonged to the central themes of Slovenian history writing -- has been a complementary part of the project on processes of ethnic differentiation in Slovenia. This unpublished contribution, which has in part already been presented at two conferences in Austria, contains information about the contents & the characteristics of an extensive collection of recent publications discussing the theme under scrutiny here. It also quotes some results from author's research into the biographies of representative personalities & historical evolution of central minority organizations of Carinthian Slovenians.

In this work the development and deployment of a new concept of cartoon-generation on a mobile phone is presented. An interactive multimedia application was designed for a push-approach of sending ...short e-cartoons from a mobile phone to a central WEB server. The concept of a unique cartoon-generator will be discussed. The multimedia Authoring Environment Flash was used for the interactive application design and implementation. The architecture and the design process of the interactive cartoon-generator application will be presented including storyboarding with final testing of the application on a Nokia mobile phone.
The paper, "Minority Protection in the Light of European Documents," derived from a 1993 international conference on Europe & national minorities held in Gorica/Gorizia, Italy, has never been ...published. Since 1993, codification of national minority protection in Europe has made considerable progress; however, many questions remain unanswered, especially as regards the promotion of international norms of protection. The author's survey is also a testimony on Slovene views & endeavors in the field in 1992/93. Adapted from the source document.
In this paper a modern item design framework for computer based assessment based on Flash authoring environment will be introduced. Question design will be discussed as well as the multimedia ...authoring environment used for item modeling emphasized. Item type templates are a structured means of collecting and storing item information that can be used to improve the efficiency and security of the innovative item design process. Templates can modernize the item design, enhance and speed up the development process. Along with content creation, multimedia has vast potential for use in innovative testing. The introduced item design template is based on taxonomy of innovative items which have great potential for expanding the content areas and construct coverage of an assessment. The presented item design approach is based on GUI's ' one for question design based on implemented item design templates and one for user interaction tracking/retrieval. The concept of user interfaces based on Flash technology will be discussed as well as implementation of the innovative approach of the item design forms with multimedia authoring. Also an innovative method for user interaction storage/retrieval based on PHP extending Flash capabilities in the proposed framework will be introduced.
This paper presents the data-driven prediction of word level prosody breaks modeling for the Slovenian language. Automatic learning techniques depend on the construction of a large corpus labeled ...appropriately. This labeling can be done either automatically or by hand. While automatic labeling can be less accurate than hand labeling, the latter is very time consuming &, in some cases, inconsistent. Therefore, a new interactive tool for word level prosody labeling (major/minor breaks) is presented together with a new semi-automatic approach for determining prosody breaks. This interactive tool combines the advantages of hand labeling & automatic labeling by achieving a high consistency in labeling & reducing the time needed for hand labeling. The labeled Slovenian corpus has been used to train our phrase break prediction module, implementing a neural network (NN) structure. Experiments for the data-driven prediction of major = minor & major/minor phrase breaks were performed. The prediction accuracy achieved marks state-of-the-art word level prosody breaks prediction for the Slovenian language & is comparable to the prediction accuracy of other approaches in which more complex NN structures (Muller et al., 2000) or other prediction methods (Black & Tailor, 1997) were applied, & a much larger corpus was used for training. The overall prediction accuracy achieved is 94% for major = minor breaks & over 98/92% for major/minor phrase breaks, respectively. 8 Tables, 5 Figures, 21 References.
