The printing history of perhaps the most influential tract in the history of irenicism (church reunification), Georgius Cassander's De officio pii viri, in 1561 presented at the Colloquy at Poissy, ...together with an overview of its afterlife and the numerous reactions it provoked, both by Protestants and Roman Catholics, will contribute to our understanding of the history of erasmian humanist irenicism. Two contemporary translations, one in German by Georg von Cell and one in French by Jean Hotman, show us how De officio pii viri was adapted to the ongoing struggle for church peace in different parts of Europe, a struggle that was led by jurists and theologians, outstanding members of the Republic of Letters, who were able to spread their ideas by their large epistolary networks. The life story of De officio pii viri highlights the birth, expansion and failure of ideas; how they profit from the support of the mighty and how they fail when opposed by the uncompromising: those who think they speak in the name of God.
O prisotnosti Mikencev na področju zahodne Anatolije, njenih obalah in otokih med začetkom 15. in koncem 12. stol. pr. n. št. pričajo arheološki viri. O naravi stikov med Hetiti in Mikenci na ...»periferiji« obeh kultur je (ob predpostavki, da v hetitskih besedilih izpričano ime Ahhiyawa označuje Mikence) mogoče sklepati na osnovi pisnih virov. Prispevek prinaša pregled in interpretacijo hetitskih besedil z omembami Ahhiyawe, arheoloških virov o Mikencih na področju Anatolije in Hetitih na področju Egejskega morja, nato shematično prikaže naravo stikov med Mikenci in Hetiti in opozori na vprašanja, ki jih identifikacija Ahhiyawe z mikenskim svetom prinaša.
Prispevek obravnava problematiko lokalnih vodnih virov na primeru Bele krajine - podeželske, kraške pokrajine v jugovzhodni Sloveniji. Na terenu smo inventarizirali 261 različnih vodnih virov, ...preučili njihovo nekdanjo in sedanjo rabo ter vlogo v življenju lokalnega prebivalstva in podali oceno njihove hidrogeološke občutljivosti ter hidroekološke ogroženosti. Z izgradnjo vodovoda so belokranjski vodni viri izgubili svoj tradicionalni vodooskrbni pomen, navezanost lokalnega prebivalstva nanje in vedenje o njih pa tone v pozabo. Kljub temu posamezne lokalne skupnosti v zadnjem času prepoznavajo njihovo naravno, kulturno in ekosistemsko vrednost, kar se zrcali v pobudah za ohranjanje, zaščito in obnovo posameznih vodnih virov. Večina belokranjskih vodnih virov je zaradi kraškega površja sicer zelo občutljivih za onesnaževanje, vendar pa je njihova dejanska hidroekološka ogroženost, ki izhaja iz človekovih dejavnosti v zaledju, razmeroma majhna.
The book comprises 14 chapters covering all the issues related to water desalination. These chapters emphasize the relationship between problems encountered with the use of feed water, the processes ...developed to address them, the operation of the required plants and solutions actually implemented. This compendium will assist designers, engineers and investigators to select the process and plant configuration that are most appropriate for the particular feed water to be used, for the geographic region considered, as well as for the characteristics required of the treated water produced. This survey offers a comprehensive, hierarchical and logical assessment of the entire desalination industry. It starts with the worldwide scarcity of water and energy, continues with the thermal - and membrane-based processes and, finally, presents the design and operation of large and small desalination plants. As such, it covers all the scientific, technological and economical aspects of this critical industry, not disregarding its environmental and social points of view. One of InTech's books has received widespread praise across a number of key publications. Desalination, Trends and Technologies (Ed. Schorr, M. 2011) has been reviewed in Corrosion Engineering, Science & Technology – the official magazine for the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, and Taylor & Francis's Desalination Publications. Praised for its “multi-faceted content which contributes to enrich it,” and described as “an essential companion...that enables the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the desalination industry,” this book is testament to the quality improvements we have been striving towards over the last twelve months.
The book is the result of joint work and many years of mutual cooperation between researchers from Slovenia and Croatia. It was made as part of the transboundary project ŽIVO! Življenje – voda! (Life ...– Water!) (IPA CBC SI-HR 2007-2013), which involved the participation of authors from project partner institutions as well as invited authors who are familiar with the characteristics of the karst area of Northern Istria and the conditions there relating to drinking water supply. The monograph presents the natural features of Northern Istria, the karst and karst phenomena, karst hydrogeology, ecology and microbiology, and highlights in particular the vulnerability of the karst to various human activities. The main focus of attention is on karst water sources. In assessing their characteristics we used available knowledge of karst water on both sides of the border and supplemented it with new research on the transboundary area in question, which was based on field measurements and sampling, and chemical, microbiological and biological analysis of water. The collected findings form the basis for planning more effective monitoring of the quality of karst water sources, their protection and consequently the improvement of their quality.First editon was published in 2015, this corrected second edition is available also in paperback (ISBN 978-961-05-0001-8).
Avtor predstavlja inovacijo v neformalnem izobraževanju odraslih na področju učinkovite rabe energije (URE) in obnovljivih virov energije (OVE). To je Nacionalna energetska pot Slovenija, ki z ...različnimi viri informacij sledi sodobnim spoznanjem o učenju odraslih, kar omogoča postopno in individualizirano konstruiranje znanja ter na podlagi tega informirano odločanje. Na spletnem portalu so predstavljeni različni nasveti in mreža 660 raznolikih stavb iz vse Slovenije. To so primeri dobrih praks, ki jih lahko iskalci informacij tudi obiščejo in se pogovorijo z lastniki. Slednji delujejo kot mreža izkušenih prostovoljcev, ki svoja spoznanja in izkušnje prenašajo novim graditeljem ali investitorjem. Pri tovrstnem izobraževanju, ki je namenjeno kakovostni izbiri energetsko učinkovitih materialov in opreme, se združuje v celoto strokovno, nekomercialno in brezplačno svetovanje ter izkustveno znanje lastnikov ali upravljavcev energetsko učinkovitih objektov.
The article examines issues of local water resources using Bela Krajina as an example - a rural, karst landscape in south-eastern Slovenia. In the field, we made an inventory of 261 different water ...resources, analysing their past and current use along with their role in the life of the local population and assessing their hydrogeological sensitivity and hydroecological threat they face. With the introduction of distributed water systems, water resources lost their traditional importance in terms of water supply, with local population’s reliance on and knowledge about them fading. Nevertheless, certain local communities have recently recognized their natural and cultural value, as well as their importance to ecosystems, which is reflected in initiatives for the preservation, protection and restoration of individual water resources. Most of Bela Krajina’s water resources are very sensitive to pollution due to the karst surface, however the actual hydroecological threat they face from human activities in their catchments is relatively low.
