62. A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLOVENIA
    A speach by Stane Granda, summarizing the history of slovenia.  
    http://www2.arnes.si/~krsrd1/conference/Speeches/Granda_a_brief_history_of_slove
    
    Extractions: A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLOVENIA by Stane Granda Ladies and gentlemen, respected colleagues, Welcome to the country which until 1918 was not on maps, was not an administrative entity, and was not in history. Terminologically Slovenia means the “Land of Slavs,” and it borders the non-Slavic world. Slovenes are the most western Slavs in Europe – they border Roman, German and Hungarian neighbors. Slovenia is a state of Slovenes along with two minorities, Italian and Hungarian; while Slovenes also live as indigenous inhabitants of Italy, Austria, and Hungary. Many Slovenes live as immigrants in foreign countries, and Cleveland Ohio, USA, was until recently known as one of the cities with the largest number of Slovenian inhabitants. The most cohesive and nationally conscious group lives in Argentina. This group of Slovenes are those who fled their homes out of fear of communism after the Second World War. For an understanding of the cultural development of the Slovenian territory it is important to keep in mind the fact that it belongs to two basic cultures: the Mediterranean as to a land of rock and an interior where there is an preponderance of timber. Their durability is different and for an understanding of cultural development this is exceptionally important. Because of its exceptionally important strategic position, and regarding the fact the main roads for commerce from middle and southeastern Europe and from the Italian area to the Balkans and the Pannonian lowland coursed across the Slovenian territory, it is understandable that this region was populated very early. Regarding material traces the most precious find up to now from the pre-metal age is a neanderthal tibia; this find completely shook previous beliefs about the intellectual capacity of neanderthals. As to written sources the earliest mention of our territory is connected with the tale of Argonauts searching for links to the northern Adriatic through rivers which are in present-day Slovenia.

65. History Of Slovenia
    Provides a history of slovenia from the 9th Century to the present.  
    http://www.historyofnations.net/europe/slovenia.html
    
    Extractions: From as early as the 9th century, Slovenia had fallen under foreign rulers, including partial control by Bavarian dukes and the Republic of Venice. With the exception of Napoleon's 4-year tutelage of parts of Slovenia and Croatiathe "Illyrian Provinces"Slovenia was part of the Habsburg Empire from the 14th century until 1918. Nevertheless, Slovenia resisted Germanizing influences and retained its unique Slavic language and culture. As a young independent republic, Slovenia pursued economic stabilization and further political openness, while emphasizing its Western outlook and central European heritage. Reflecting its success in these goals, Slovenia became a member both of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union in March and May, respectively, of 2004. As an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Troika member scheduled to be Chairman-in-Office in 2005, a continuing participant in the SFOR deployment in Bosnia and the KFOR deployment in Kosovo, one of the top foreign investors in the former Yugoslavia, and a charter World Trade Organization (WTO) member, Slovenia enjoys a growing regional profile and plays a role on the world stage quite out of proportion to its small size. Since the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia has instituted a stable, multi-party, democratic political system, characterized by regular elections, a free press, and an excellent human rights record. Slovenia is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional republic. Within its government, power is shared between a directly elected president, a prime minister, and a bicameral legislature (Parliament). Parliament is composed of the 90-member National Assemblywhich takes the lead on virtually all legislative issuesand the National Council, a largely advisory body composed of representatives from social, economic, professional, and local interests. The Constitutional Court has the highest power of review of legislation to ensure its consistency with Slovenia's constitution. Its nine judges are elected by the National Assembly for single 9-year terms.

    Extractions: The Virtual Jewish History Tour Slovenia By Stephanie Persin There are archaeological finds that show Jewish existence in Slovenia since the Roman period . Little is known about Jews in Slovenia during the Second Temple Period . Many Jews, however, escaped the Crusades during the 12th century B.C.E. and emigrated to towns within Slovenia. Jews came from the areas of Germany and Czechoslovakia to avoid the violent mission of the Christians . Jews also came from western European countries such as Italy to avoid the economic depression in the area. Jews in Slovenia lived rather peacefully for a couple of centuries. By the beginning of the 15th century, however, there were clear conflicts between Jews and the Slovenian government. The regional rulers of Slovenian provinces were resentful of Jewish wealth. They refused to pay back the Jewish moneylenders, and Jews were considered a nuisance among the wealthy nobility. In 1495, the first Jews were expelled from the areas of Carinthia and Styria. The expulsion of Jews from individual territories continued until the last Jews were expelled in 1718. The Boundaries of Slovenia In 1809, King Charles VI allowed Jews to resettle in the country. His decree was very short-lived, however, and it was countered by Emperor Francis II in 1817. He prevented Jews from resettling in Slovenia, and the prohibition stuck. In 1910, only 146 Jews were estimated to be living in the country. In 1919, the Jews joined with the Jewish community in Zagreb because there were too few Jews in Slovenia. Anti-Semitic sentiments continued to be rampant throughout the Slovenian population. These sentiments and the Holocaust both contributed to the tiny Jewish population in Slovenia at present.

    http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/cultural/oldworld/europe/slovene.html
    
    Extractions: The Slovene culture of Europe and the Middle East has thrived for nearly fifteen centuries despite being dominated for much of its history by outside political forces. During various periods of time from the sixth century until fairly recently the culture has been under the rule of the Bavarians, the Frankish Empire of the Carolingians, the German-dominated Holy Roman Empire, and other political regimes that controlled the lands of the Slovenian people. Resistance, rebellions, and military conflicts have marred the history of the Slovene culture, and not until recently did they the gain political independence they desired for centuries. Around the turn of the sixth century, Slavs began settling in the area from Istria. They gradually converted to Christianity and slowly lost their independence. In the three centuries that followed, they remained under the rule of various political regimes. Then, beginning around the ninth century and lasting for roughly the next ten centuries, the Slovenes were under the Hapsburg monarchy rule until they began developing their own identity through a revolt and the development of a written Slovenian language. The Slovene culture has existed for roughly fifteen centuries, so it is difficult to define what daily life is like for the people. As with any other culture that endures for a significant amount of time, they have changed with the times and adjusted to the political circumstances that they have been forced to deal with. Perhaps the best known feature of this culture is their enduring struggle for independence over the course of recent history. At our current juncture in time, the Slovenian foreign policy has been focused on improving links with Western Europe. Of all the former Yugoslav republics, it has the best prospects of achieving success in the global schematics of our culturally diverse world.

    The history of Metrology in slovenia Thanks to this order, slovenia obtaineda regulated metrology system as early as the 18th century.  
    http://www.mirs.si/ENGLISH/SPLOSNO/History.htm
    
    Extractions: The History of Metrology in Slovenia On the Slovene territory, metrology has a long-lasting and rich tradition. Measurements of mass, length, volume and time have been very important here since prehistoric times, and the archaeological findings bear witness to this. During classical antiquity, the Constantinople period, and later, both army and commercial routes lead across the Slovene territory, and this meant goods exchange as well as the related metrological activities. During the Middle Ages and the late Middle Ages, these activities were poorly organised, and their regulation was in the hands individual local authorities. A similar situation as in Slovenia was throughout Europe. During her reign of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Empress Maria Theresa introduced such order into metrology which was exemplary for that time. Thanks to this order, Slovenia obtained a regulated metrology system as early as the 18th century. In her "Patent Act" of 1777, the Empress gave precise orders as to the type of measuring instruments that could be used, and how and where they should be verified. Thus a regulated metrology system had existed on the Slovene territory some 100 years before the signing of the Metre Convention (*). Besides measures and units of measurement, care had also been taken of the appropriate control and marking of precious metals. (*) - See the chapter "Important International Organisations"

The Slavs convert to Christianity and gradually lose their independence. 869 to 874 Prince Kocelj briefly establishes an independent state of Slovenes in Lower Pannonia. 9th century Alongside the growing influence of Christianity the Slovenian language is increasingly used in religious services. The Freising Manuscripts, the oldest written records in the Slovenian language, originate from this period. 14th to 16th centuries The House of Habsburg extends its control over most of the Slovenian regions. Protestant Primoz Trubar publishes "Katekizem" (The Catechism), the first book written in the Slovenian language. Jurij Dalmatin translates the Bible into Slovenian.

Research A History of Electrical Engineering Study in Slovenia Autumn 1921 saw the completion of the new building for the Technical Faculty on Askerceva Cesta. This building provided Elektroinstitut with excellent working space and laboratories. Courses were started, and in 1925 the first electrical engineer graduated. Between the wars, Professor Vidmar was the guiding light of the Electrical Engineering Department. He published many papers, and was one of the leading experts in the world on large transformers. The concepts for all the large transformers of the two leading European producers (Siemens, AEG) were developed in Ljubljana at the time. During the second world war, education and research work at the Electrical Engineering Department almost stopped; many people were fighting in the national liberation movement. In 1941, electrical engineering students operated the illegal transmitter Kricac, which for more than five months spread the word in Ljubljana, in the heart of occupied Europe. After the end of the war, the faculty was brought back to life. In the 1945/46 academic year, graduation was four times the pre-war average (118 compared to 31). Under the guidance of Professors Lasic and Gruden, electronics developed rapidly. Previously, only Professor Osana had been developing this subject in the electrical engineering department. With the rise in the number of students and the growth in scientific and development work, an accommodation crisis became evident. After many temporary solutions (barracks, relocation), in 1957 the Institute of Electrical Engineering acquired new premises, including space for the electrical engineering department.

The early work with patients was organised from Dr Klevisar's own home, providing counselling and giving advice for dying people, their relatives and for those who had been bereaved. Then two nurses, Tatjana Zargi and Bernarda Mudrovic, began to develop the work further. Here Tatjana Zargi describes what they were doing: She also outlines some of the problems and barriers: '… family doctors are usually not informed enough how to treat pain … how to treat other symptoms. They're afraid to give stronger analgesics … the people are still afraid … so many prejudices not to use them in the right dosages. There is sometimes also the opposition of the relatives "Oh, you shouldn't give him that strong drug, this will kill him …" and so on and so on … But we learned also to

Mainly due to our geographic location as a gateway from one part of europe to another we've been under many different influences throughout history and it all came together in an interesting mix very much unlike any other country in the neighbourhood.
