SlovaÄka imigracija u Sjedinjene Države i njezin odnos prema ameriÄkom socijalistiÄkom i radniÄkom pokretu
Slovak immigrants in the United States of America did not show a considerable interest in taking part in the American labor movement. One of the reasons for this lies in the fact that young single men would come to the United States in order to get rich, and then to get back home as soon as possible and purchase land there. On the other hand, Slovak immigrant leaders did not have a desire to gather American Slovaks together in the American labor movement. Slovak clergymen in the United States took it upon themselves to maintain their body of believers in the Catholic faith. The outcome of it all was a small number of American Slovaks founding workers\u27 organizations and papers, and they were very distant from one another, too. The number of Slovak immigrants in the ranks of the socialist party of America is negligible.SlovaÄki iseljenici u SAD nisu pokazivali neki veÄi interes za sudjelovanje u ameriÄkom radniÄkom pokretu. Tome je jedan od razloga Å”to su mladi neoženjeni muÅ”karci dolazili u SAD da bi se obogatili i da bi se Å”to prije vratili kuÄama i kupili zemlju. S druge strane, slovaÄki iseljeniÄki voÄe nisu pokazivali želju da ameriÄke Slovake okupe oko ameriÄkoga radniÄkog pokreta. SlovaÄki sveÄenici u SAD brinuli su se da svoje vjernike održe u krÅ”Äanskoj vjeri. Rezultat svega toga bio je mali broj ameriÄkih Slovaka koji su osnivali radniÄke organizacije i novine, a bili su meÄusobno i vrlo udaljeni. Vrlo je zanemarljiv broj slovaÄkih iseljenika u redovima SocijalistiÄke stranke Amerike
Die Rolle slowakischer Auswanderer in Nordamerika bei der Befreiung der Slowakei
Slovak ƩmigrƩs in North America have played a major role
in the emancipation of their nation from foreign rule in the
last century. Although this process was not always very
smooth, due to the opposition of some of their neighbours,
and also because of internal divisions among Slovaks, both
at home and abroad, nevertheless in 1993 a democratic
and independent Slovak Republic appeared on the map of
Europe. While the proximate causes of the creation of the
Slovak Republic are fairly well-known, the long-term role of
ƩmigrƩs in North America in this process are not yet fully
appreciated. This paper is a first attempt to sketch the broad
outlines of the role of political ƩmigrƩs in promoting Slovak
aspirations for independence.SlovaÄki iseljenici u Sjevernoj Americi odigrali su važnu
ulogu u oslobaÄanju svoje zemlje od tuÄinske vlasti u XIX.
stoljeÄu. Iako ovaj proces nije uvijek tekao glatko,
zahvaljujuÄi suprotstavljanju nekih susjednih zemalja, a i
zbog unutarnjih podjela meÄu Slovacima i u domovini i u
inozemstvu, ipak se 1993. godine demokratska i nezavisna
SlovaÄka Republika pojavila na karti Europe. Dok su
neposredni razlozi stvaranja SlovaÄke Republike uglavnom
dobro znani, dugoroÄna uloga iseljenika Sjeverne Amerike u
tom procesu nije do kraja ocijenjena. Ovaj rad prvi je
pokuÅ”aj izrade obrisa uloge politiÄkih iseljenika u
promicanju slovaÄkih težnji za nezavisnoÅ”Äu.Die slowakischen Auswanderer in Nordamerika spielten bei
der Befreiung ihres Landes von der Fremdherrschaft im 19.
Jahrhundert eine wichtige Rolle. Obwohl dieser ProzeĆ nicht
immer reibungslos vonstatten ging, wobei die inneren
ZerwĆ¼rfnisse zwischen den Slowaken im In- und Ausland
nicht wenig beitrugen, ist auf der politischen Karte Europas
im Jahre 1993 die demokratische und unabhƤngige
Slowakische Republik erschienen. WƤhrend die
unmittelbaren GrĆ¼nde fĆ¼r die Entstehung der Slowakischen
Republik mehr oder weniger bekannt sind, steht eine
Bewertung der historischen Rolle der nordamerikanischen
Slowaken bei diesen VorgƤngen immer noch aus. Dieser
Artikel ist ein erster Versuch, die Rolle der politischen
Auswanderer, die die UnabhƤngigkeitsbestrebungen der
Slowaken propagierten, zu umreiĆen
Neutral winds above 200Km at high latitudes
Motion from multiple chemical releases between 200 and 300 km from 15 rockets launched from 4 high latitude locations are analyzed. The observations in the evening and midnight hours at magnetic altitudes or = 65 deg suggest that in these regions ion drag is the dominant force in driving neutral winds between 200 and 300 km. This conclusion is based on both the agreement between ion and neutral drift directions, and the fact that there are distinct changes in the wind associated with (a) the reversal in east-west ion drift at the Harang discontinuity, and (b) the transition from auroral belt, sunward ion drift and polar cap, anti-solar ion drift
