“First Lady But Second Fiddle” or the rise and rejection of the political couple in the White House: 1933-today.
The First Lady has emerged as an institution of great influence. Whether out in the open like Hillary Clinton or behind the scenes like Nancy Reagan, most First Ladies have served as their husbands’ most trusted and closest political allies. Thus the modern era has seen the advent of the presidential couple, as symbolically epitomized in the 1990s' neologism “Billary.” It seems, however, that the American public is not ready to accept power-sharing in the White House and that the First Lady, visible and influential though she might be, should not play the role of a co-president. A number of feminists simply propose to “abolish” her.

PERIFERIJA: MELANIA TRUMP V TRANSNACIONALNI
JAVNOSTI
Povzetek. Članek obravnava recepcijo prve dame
Melanie Trump v ameriškem in slovenskem javnem
prostoru. Analiza v prvem delu temelji na razčlenitvi
medijskih upodobitev v reviji The New Yorker. V drugem
delu se ukvarja z odzivi v slovenski javnosti s posebnim
poudarkom na dveh spletnih portalih (siol.si in delo.
si). Temeljna ugotovitev primerjave je, da v ameriškem
kontekstu prevladuje distribuiranje medijskih podob
Melanie Trump kot naturalizirane prve dame s koreninami na socialističnem Vzhodu. V slovenskem prostoru
je dejstvo etnične pripadnosti predmet prisvajanja v
nacionalno fantazijo, ki, nasprotno, utrjuje predstavo
o razvezi s socialistično preteklostjo, pri čemer pa se, kot
pokaže primer postavitve kipa v rojstni Sevnici, kažejo
tudi poskusi destabiliziranja dihotomije center-periferija. Študija si na podlagi teh dvoumnih odzivov zastavlja raziskovalno vprašanje usode simbolnega materinstva v dobi transnacionalizacije sodobnih družb.

Ultrastructural observations of the spermiogenesis in the Parotoplaninae (Plathelminthes, Proseriata) with special reference to a striated appendage of the intercentriolar body
SummaryThe spermiogenesis of three species of the Parotoplaninae (Otoplanidae, Proseriata) is described based on electron-microscopical observations. Special reference is given to organelles which do not persist in mature male gametes. One of these organelles is a striated appendage of the intercentriolar body. This differentiation has not been reported from any other plathelminth taxa up to now. The striated appendage, which may serve as a strengthening element, is hypothesized to be an autapomorphic feature of the Parotoplaninae.
