Published: April 2024

During 1885, the South Russian organization of “People’s Will” by the leadership of B. D. Orzhikh created its own bombs set and provided their storage. These bombs were create for demoralization of the tsarist government. Because of objective reasons caused by recovery of weakened party, the southern revolutionaries did not have time to start the full realization of their plans about bombs using. In reality, the main work focused on the consolidation of revolutionary forces and propaganda activities until the liquidation of the group during 1886–1887. The group of B. D. Orzhikh really had only programs, plans and bombs, but not a terror as such; as a result, it is appropriate to study these components separately. This article will examine the history of the creation, storage and destruction of bombs of the South Russian organization in the period 1885–1886.

Authors: Asmaa Ajim , Arfaoui H. , Jabri H. , Elkhattabi W. , Afif H.
Published: April 2024

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing vasculitis of unknown etiology that is characterized by mucocutaneous, ocular, articular, vascular, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system.It  mainly affects young subjects, generally 20 to 30 years old with a predominance of men. Thoracic involvement of Behcet's disease is unusual but serious. It is related to the well known vascular tropism of the disease.  It may involve the superior vena cava, pulmonary arteries, aorta and subclavian vessels. These vascular attacks can be arterial or venous thrombosis, aneurysms or pseudo-aneurysms .In Behçet's disease, pulmonary artery aneurysms are considered exceptional. these aneurysms manifest themselves by recurrent hemoptysis as is the case with our patient who consulted in pneumolgy department 20 august  1953 at the university hospital Ibn Rochd Casablanca, for a moderate to great abundance hemoptysis revealing an angio-behcet. This is a negative element in patients with BD. it is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency.The treatment of BD is not well codified but it depends on the severity of the systemic manifestations. Regarding vascular involvement, surgical treatment of an aneurysm with all its risks in patients with Behçet's disease frequently results in aneurysm recurrence. The arterial aneurysms have a poor prognosis, especially pulmonary aneurysms.

This study aims to identify common opportunistic infections and their prevalence among people living with HIV in Osogbo, Osun state, who are receiving treatments for the HIV virus, which has spread widely.A mixed study design was employed, including a hospital-based retrospective study and a Key Informant Interview. The retrospective study involved 280 HIV patients at State Specialists Hospital Asubiaro SSHA Osogbo, Nigeria, and collected socio-demographic, opportunistic infection diagnosis, and viral load test results. The study also included a Key Informant Interview with six health workers in the HIV care unit. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests, while qualitative data was analyzed using a thematic approach.The study reveals that the majority of People Living with HIV are females (77.1%), with 69% unemployed and 28.6% employed. Most are married (82.5%). In 2020, 58.2% achieved viral suppression, while in 2021, 65.7% and 69% achieved it. Common opportunistic infections include tuberculosis, pruritus, oral candidiasis, and herpes zoster. The prevalence of opportunistic infections decreased from 9.0% to 7.6% between January 2020 and May 2022.The prevalence of opportunistic infections in the study was low, which is due to the high preventive measures employed by the health workers in the hospital. Hence adherence to HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) medications helps to maintain healthy living for People living with HIV
Future directions on Antibody-Drug Conjugates in HER-2 negative Breast Cancer: a Comprehensive Review of New Agents
Authors: Marchiori Cacilhas Pedro , Silva Guimarães Yasmin , Moura Barrios Pablo , Emmanuel Rubini Liedke Pedro
Published: April 2024

Background: Breast Cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women with a rising incidence. Antibody-drug conjugates targeting HER2 and TROP-2 are new tools already effective against breast cancer but ADCs targeting new transmembrane receptors are necessary to overcome the dependence on HER-2 pathway. New trials are emerging fast as new ADCs are under investigation. Methods: We reviewed ClinicalTrials.gov and Pubmed for early clinical trials on new ADCs in clinical development for HER-2 negative breast cancer. Results: Trials testing 12 new molecules were found. Pre-clinical studies, safety and results in phase I/II trials published of each new molecule were reviewed and described briefly. Side effects regarding ADCs with maytansine derivatives (DM1/4) or auristatins (MMAE/MMAF) payloads were described. Conclusion: ADCs represent a practice-changing therapy for cancer treatment. New compounds against several new targets are expected to become part of clinical practice in the near future.
Tax Aspects of Compensation of Damage Caused to the Environment
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Public Law of the Law Faculty of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, PhD (Law), Goncharova Elena A.
Published: April 2024

The article attempts to analyze the tax consequences in connection with the implementation of compensation for environmental damage. In 2021, changes were made to Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which led to the elimination of the conflicting interpretation about the possibility of taking into account monetary compensation for environmental damage for income tax purposes, however, in relation to the natural form of compensation for harm, there is still no unambiguous approach, which does not corresponds to the constitutionally significant task of Russia as a guarantor of environmental well-being and a social state.
Strukturne spremembe mariborskega gospodarstva po letu 1991
Authors: Lorber Lučka
Published: April 2024

Prispevek obravnava strukturne spremembe mariborskega gospodarstva v tranzicijskem obdobju in v času pridruževanja Slovenije skupnemu evropskemu trgu. Poudarek je dan posledicam negativne deindustrializacije. Ob prvih znakih krize v nosilnih proizvodnih dejavnostih je prišlo do velikega števila brezposelnih in padca dohodka mariborskega gospodarstva v bruto nacionalnem dohodku države. Z analizo gospodarskih strukturnih sprememb v obdobju 1991 – 2004 ugotavljamo, da je ključni razlog zaostajanja razvoja mariborskega gospodarstva v nizkem investicijskem vlaganju, ki dosega v tem obdobju okoli 90 odstotkov republiškega povprečja. Gospodarsko rast je zavirala tudi nizka dodana vrednost na zaposlenega, neustrezna demografska slika prebivalstva in pomanjkanje gospodarske strategije mesta.

Authors: Žiberna Igor
Published: April 2024

Človekovi vplivi, predvsem širjenje pozidanih površin, ogrevanje, promet, onesnaževanje zraka, so prispevali k nastajanju specifičnega mestnega ekosistema. Med njegove pomembne značilnosti sodi nastanek značilnega mestnega podnebja, ki se najbolj manifestira s pojavom mestnega toplotnega otoka. V prispevku so prikazane časovne spremembe intenzivnosti mestnega toplotnega otoka na primeru Maribora, kot posledica človekovih vplivov, predvsem širjenja pozidanih površin. Izračunani so večletni trendi glavnih temperaturnih kazalcev in nekaterih izpeljanih klimatskih parametrov. Prikazani so tudi vplivi mestnega toplotnega otoka na izbrane bioklimatske kazalce.

Perspektive razvoja mesta Rehau/Oberfranken – prispevek k aplikativnem geografskem proučevanju malih mest
Authors: Maier Jörg , Kadner Beate , Gutgesell Matthias
Published: April 2024

V preteklih letih so se pogoji razvoja mest in občin močno spremenili. Internacionalizacija gospodarstva, vse večje konkurenca, spremembe gospodarske strukture, novi življenjski stili ter zmanjševanje števila prebivalcev so v današnjem času pomembna izhodišča pri načrtovanju razvoja občin. Tudi v prihodnje je pričakovati spremembe glede oskrbe, gospodarskih razmer, socialnih razmer in okoljskih vprašanj, ob čemer se bo spreminjalo razmerje med možnostmi in pastmi gospodarskega in socialnega razvoja. To še posebej velja za mesta na podeželju, kakršno je Rehau. Mesto leži v bližini nemško češke meje, v območju, ki ga označuje neugoden demografski razvoj. Osrednje vprašanje bodočega razvoja mesta Rehau je, kako ohraniti obstoječo industrijsko usmerjenost. Nič manj aktualno ni vprašanje demografskega razvoja. Menimo, da je rešitev v gospodarskih povezavah s sosednjimi občinami v regiji in oblikovanju mreže interesnih skupin. Možni poudarki prihodnjega razvoja so naslednji:• oblikovanje interesnih povezav s sosednjimi območji in gospodarskimi subjekti v regiji• sodelovanje med generacijami bi lahko bila rešitev za probleme na socialnem področju• izobraževanje prebivalcev• aktivnejše vključevanje prebivalcev pri odpravljanju socialnih konfliktov• izkoriščanje strateškega položaja v središču „nove Evrope“.Ob tem se postavlja še vprašanje, kako pri geografskem proučevanju malih mest upoštevati njihovo specifiko; dosedanji pristopi so namreč v veliki meri prilagojeni proučevanju velikih mest in urbanih aglomeracij, kjer imamo opraviti z drugačno socialno in gospodarsko strukturo od tiste v malih mestih.
Struktura madžarskih srednjih in velikih mest
Authors: Csapó Tamás
Published: April 2024

Funkcionalna struktura mest se je postopoma preoblikovala po političnih spremembah. Te spremembe so bile spodbujene s prehodom na tržno gospodarstvo in procesi deurbanizacije. Kot rezultat, se je funkcionalna struktura domačih velikih in srednjih mest približala tisti razvitih evropskih mest. V mestih se delež stanovanjske funkcije zmanjšuje predvsem zaradi širitve osrednjih poslovnih četrti, gradnje perifernih nakupovalnih centrov in rasti industrijskih območij. Medtem ko se območje zunanje stanovanjske cone širi z razvojem stanovanjskih naselij in širjenjem območij enodružinskih hiš, se površina notranjih stanovanjskih območij zmanjšuje. Kot posledica prehoda na tržno gospodarstvo, mesta izgubljajo svojo morfologijo. Zaradi uniformiranega gradbenega sloga multinacionalnih podjetij v perifernih nakupovalnih in industrijskih območjih je postalo podobno tistim podobnim območjem zahodnoevropskih srednjih mest. Samo zgodovinsko mestno jedro in delno notranje stanovanjsko območje sta uspela ohraniti svoj stari, tradicionalni videz.

Socialne razmere v Sloveniji po izbranih kazalcih
Authors: Drozg Vladimir
Published: April 2024

V prispevku so prikazane nekatere socialne razmere v Sloveniji na podlagi izbranih kazalcev. Kazalce socialnih razmer smo razdelili v štiri sklope, in sicer: vitalnost prebivalstva, socialna infrastruktura, materialno blagostanje ljudi ter socialno ranljive skupine prebivalcev. Podatki so zbrani in prikazani na nivoju statističnih regij. Rezultati analize podatkov niso obetavni. Slovensko prebivalstvo se hitro stara, demografska rast je posledica priseljevanj in ne naravne rasti, socialna neenakost se povečuje, obseg sredstev za socialne namene v državnem proračunu se zmanjšuje, število socialno ranljivih oseb narašča, regionalne razlike se povečujejo.
Razvoj in demografske značilnosti prebivalstva v mestu Maribor med letoma 1961 in 2015
Authors: Horvat Uroš
Published: April 2024

Avtor v članku opredeli štiri faze razvoja prebivalstva v mestu Maribor. Hitri rasti števila prebivalstva v 60. letih 20. stoletja je sledila stagnacija v 80. letih in nato depopulacija v 90. letih in po letu 2000. V primerjavi z drugimi večjimi mesti v Sloveniji je bila depopulacija najbolj intenzivna prav v Mariboru (med letoma 1981 in 2008 se je število prebivalcev zmanjšalo za okoli 12 %). Naravni prirast je v mestu konstantno negativen vse od leta 1985 dalje, selitveni prirast pa je bil negativen med letoma 1992 in 2007. Maribor med večjimi slovenskimi mesti izkazuje tudi najbolj neugodno starostno sestavo prebivalstva z najvišjim deležem starega prebivalstva in najvišjim indeksom staranja, po zadnjem popisu prebivalstva pa zaostaja za drugimi mesti tudi po deležu prebivalstva z višje ali visoko šolsko izobrazbo, čeprav je drugo največje univerzitetno mesto v Sloveniji. Glede na ugotovljene demografske značilnosti se bo v naslednjih dveh desetletjih v mestu bistveno povečal delež prebivalstva v starosti nad 65 let, kar bo zahtevalo nove oblike organiziranja dejavnosti v mestu in prilagajanja starejši populaciji.
The demographic ageing of population in Bosnia and Herzegovina: causes and consequences
Authors: Kadušić Alma , Suljić Alija , Smajić Nedima
Published: April 2024

In this paper the age structure and the ageing population process in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century is analyzed. The main reasons that caused changes in the age composition of the population and the population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been researched. The main causes of the population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of the 20th century were primarily trends in fertility rates and secondarily trends in mortality rates. The economic growth of Bosnia and Herzegovina after World War II conditioned changes in the economic and educational structure of the population and with that the changes in the natural increase rates and migration balance. The war was the main cause of negative demographic changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1992 to 1995, and the post-war adverse socioeconomic, political and other circumstances have been the cause of negative demographic trends after 1995. The aim of this paper is to determine the level of population ageing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the consequences this process could have on the demographic future of this country.
Agroecology in Slovenia
Authors: Vovk Korže Ana
Published: April 2024

The article presents to agroecology (AE) as a sustainable approach in Slovenia.  AE deals with contents as the ecology in agriculture, organic farming, sustainable agriculture, green agriculture, permaculture, ecoremediations, integrated farming and natural agriculture. According to the official definition the term AE means the use of traditional practices that are consistent with the characteristics of the local environment and do not limit only on food production, but also on food processing (recipes), products made from natural materials, especially wood, stone and construction as well as on ways of sustainable relationship to nature (water storage, attitude to water use, attitude to soil, shallow ploughing, attitudes toward animals, plants).  We have discovered the concept of AE and its use in Slovenia. In Slovenia the term is limited to the understanding of the importance ecology in agriculture. The representatives of the Slovenian institutions of the Chamber of agriculture and forestry who have a similar project on the topic of AE, designed for agricultural consultants, having described different form of AE. In project Agroecology at the Faculty of Arts we develop educational moduls for teaching AE in practise.
Naravnogeografski potenciali za kmetijstvo v pomurski statistični regiji in spremembe rabe tal v obdobju 2000–2017
Authors: Koltai Tomaž
Published: April 2024

Vsebina dela obravnava analizo izbranih naravnogeografskih dejavnikov v pomurski statistični regiji, ki potrjuje veliko razpoložljivost ugodnih potencialov za kmetijstvo. Izbrani dejavniki so funkcijski nakloni, ekspozicije, pedološke enote in talno število, vključena pa je tudi analiza strateško pomembnih površin za pridelovanje in kmetijstvo. Trendi v izkoriščanju teh potencialov so prikazani z ugotovitvami sprememb rabe tal med letoma 2000 in 2017. Slednji prikazujejo proces ekstenzifikacije, kjer se zemljišča v zaraščanju, gozdovi in pozidane in sorodne površine širijo na račun krčenja obdelovalnih površin, predvsem njiv z vrtovi in vinogradov. Do neugodnih procesov spreminjanja rabe tal, ki jih vrednotimo z vidika ustreznega (ne)izkoriščanja potencialov za kmetijstvo, prihaja v veliki meri na površinah z najugodnejšimi razmerami za obdelovalne površine. Slednje odraža negativen trend, ki odstopa od državne paradigme doseganja prehranske samooskrbnosti.
Morfometrijske značilnosti, pedologija in raba tal s posebnim ozirom na vinogradništvo in sadjarstvo v Slovenskih goricah med Muro in Pesnico

Ob omembi Slovenskih goric povprečen Slovenec pomisli na gričevje, ki je zasajeno z vinsko trto in sadnim drevjem. Vendar se v Slovenskih goricah med Muro in Pesnico videz te pokrajine spreminja. Vinogradov in sadovnjakov je z leti manj. V članku smo analizirali povezavo med nekaterimi naravnimi dejavniki ter rabo tal. Osredotočili smo se na vplive reliefa, kamninske podlage ter tipov prsti na vinogradništvo in sadjarstvo. Glede na izsledke smo preučili še možnosti, kje na območju Slovenskih goric med Muro in Pesnico so glede na obravnavane naravne dejavnike najugodnejše lege za rast vinogradov in sadovnjakov. Ti bi na tem območju ob ugodnih družbenih dejavnikih lahko predstavljali veliko dodano vrednost kmetijstvu v severovzhodni Sloveniji.
Thermal regime of annual air temperature in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Drešković Nusret , Mirić Ranko
Published: April 2024

Horizontal air temperature is defined by the value of the mean air temperature for a certain surface area unit.  It is defined by the value of horizontal thermal gradient, i.e. the value of average change of horizontal temperature per unit area. In order to define the horizontal change of air temperature in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a GRID thermal model was constructed whose spatial resolution is 20 m. Based on obtained thermal model geo-database it was determined that the mean annual air temperature for the whole area of Bosnia and Herzegovina is about 10.9 °C, keeping in mind that there are significant thermal differences with respect to the two existing climate zones. More specifically, on the territory of the northern temperate climate zone the average annual temperature is about 9.7 °C, while in the Mediterranean climate zone the said value is 12.1 °C. In this work, it was also found that thermal contrasts are very pronounced as well, due to the fact that average annual temperature in the highest mountain peak zones in southeastern  Bosnian highlands is negative and is found to be -1.4 °C (Maglić peak), while at the  Neum coastal zone it is measured at 15.9 °C. The above stated pronounced thermal contrasts are determined on a small horizontal distance, as a consequence of climactic position of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as highly pronounced terrain dynamics.
Hidrogeografske značilnosti pragerskih ribnikov
Authors: Vovk Korže Ana
Published: April 2024

V prispevku so predstavljeni Pragerski ribniki s poudarkom na izmerjenih fizikalnih in kemijskih lastnosti vode. Meritve smo opravili zaradi pomanjkanja tovrstnih rezultatov in ker se v občini Slovenska Bistrica zbirajo ideje o nadaljnjem razvoju tega območja. Tovrstni podatki, torej hidrogeografske značilnosti vodnih teles so pomemben vir informacij, kaj vse je možno v prihodnje načrtovati na antropogenih ribnikih. Naš cilj je bil z uporabo merilnih postopkov na terenu od novembra 2017 do maja 2018 zbrati podatke in jih primerjati s standardnimi vrednostmi. Zaradi glinene matične osnove se voda čisti tudi sama, zato ni bilo zaznati večjih nihanj, se pa lastnosti vode spreminjajo z letnimi časi in z dejavnostmi ob ribnikih.
Intenzivnost podnebnih sprememb na območjih Natura 2000 v Sloveniji
Authors: Ivajnšič Danijel , Donša Daša
Published: April 2024

Evropa ima v svetovnem merilu najgostejšo mrežo zavarovanih območij. Seveda ta območja niso nič manj pod vplivov podnebnih sprememb v primerjavi z ostalimi. Skrb vzbujajoče je dejstvo, da so napovedi glede ohranjanja podnebne primernosti za vrste evropskega pomena v nekaterih Natura 2000 območjih po Evropi, v primerjavi z nezavarovanimi območji, celo slabše. Z vidika Slovenije bodo podnebnim spremembam v drugi polovici tega stoletja, po trenutnih napovedih, tako najbolj izpostavljene živalske in rastlinski vrste v omrežju Natura 2000 submediteranske in subpanonske regije.  Bolj stabilne podnebne razmere bodo v višje ležečih predelih države.  Tovrstne študije, ki ponujajo objektivno oceno vpliva podnebnih sprememb v prostoru, so še kako pomembne za upravljavce in odločevalce v zavarovanih območjih, da lahko pripravljajo in potencialno realizirajo omilitvene ukrepe na ustreznih ranljivih površinah.

Authors: Žiberna Igor , Kisilak Anja , Rajh Mojca , Zagorc Iztok , Hozjan Žan
Published: April 2024

Svetlobno onesnaževanje kot sorazmerno nova oblika onesnaževanja okolja predstavlja v Sloveniji že od 80. let prejšnjega stoletja vedno večji okoljski problem. Vir svetlobne onesnaženosti v Sloveniji je predvsem javna razsvetljava ob cestah in ob kulturnih ali sakralnih objektih, ki so osvetljeni tudi ponoči. Če pri ostalih oblikah onesnaževanja okolja lahko s prostorskim omejevanjem vzrokov vplivamo na njihovo širjenje na zavarovana območja, pa pri zvoku in svetlobi tega ni mogoče storiti. Svetlobno onesnaženost tako zaznajo tudi sicer zaščitena območja znotraj naravnih, regijskih in krajinskih parkov oziroma območij Natura 2000. V prispevku smo se omejili na analizo stanja svetlobne onesnaženosti na območju Pohorja, katerega osredje pripada zavarovanem območju Natura 2000. Analizirali smo stanje na osnovi satelitskih posnetkov v nočnem kanalu. Posebej smo obravnavali vpliv nočne smuke na območjih Mariborskega Pohorja in Rogle na stanje svetlobne onesnaženosti. Obravnavali smo tudi vplive izbranih osvetljenih sakralnih objektov na območju Pohorja, ki so habitati netopirjev, na stanje svetlobne onesnaženosti v neposredni bližini objekta in v njegovi širši okolici.
The cultural-historical heritage of Ilijas municipality as the basis for the inclusion in regional tourist flows
Authors: Nezirović Senada , Avdić Belma , Orić Muniba
Published: April 2024

Many cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including Ilijas, are missing the opportunity to earn tourism income, precisely because they do not have the planned promotion of their cultural and historical heritage. Cultural and historical monuments get a real social and tourist value only when involved in tourist movements and when they become accessible to tourists who plan to travel because of them. In this way, cultural and historical monuments exist not only as a source and object of knowledge but also as an indicator of the cultural level of the population and the country as a whole. The subject of this study is the possibility of incorporating the cultural and historical heritage, primarily the Medieval City of Dubrovnik and the necropolis of the tombstones of Koposici, into regional tourist flows with the aim of economic strengthening of the municipality of Ilijas through the tourism development and improvement of promotion of tourist resources and services of the mentioned municipality. The aim of this paper is to analyze the cultural tourist resources of the municipality of Ilijas and their delimitation in the development of tourism of the mentioned municipality. In the delimitation of tourism resources, geographic tourist and economic concepts of valorisation are used, based on which the dominant tourist resources are separated.

Aktualne študije kažejo, da je vpetost kmetijskih gospodarstev (KMG) v ukrepe KOPOP zanemarljiva, predvsem na nivoju naravovarstveno pomembnih travišč, kljub velikemu potencialu na državnem nivoju. S tem razlogom smo razvili spletno in mobilno aplikacijo, ki bi v prvi vrsti informirala lastnike, katere površine travišč lahko vključijo v kateri pod-ukrep KOPOP in koliko denarnega nadomestila (vezanega na površino) lahko prejemajo, v primeru, da se odločijo za vključitev. Odziv prvih uporabnikov je bil zelo pozitiven, seveda pa v največji meri o vključevanju KMG v ukrepe KOPOP odloča denarno nadomestilo, ki je v trenutnem programu 2014-2020 bistveno premajhno. Kljub temu bi tovrstni informacijski sistemi lahko v prihajajoči shemi Evropskega kmetijskega sklada za razvoj podeželja 2021-2026 pripomogli k boljšemu udejstvovanju ukrepov KOPOP, in to ne le na področju travišč, temveč tudi na drugih naravovarstveno pomembnih habitatih.
Spremembe vinogradniških površin po vinorodnih okoliših in podokoliših v Sloveniji v obdobju 2000-2019
Authors: Žiberna Igor
Published: April 2024

V članku so analizirane spremembe vinogradniških površin na območju vinorodnih okolišev in podokolišev v Sloveniji v obdobju 2000-2019. Vinogradništvo je v slovenskem kmetijstvu predstavljalo pomembno panogo že od antične dobe naprej. V zadnjih desetletjih se vinogradništvo pomembo povezuje s turistično dejavnostjo. Vinogradniške površine se povsod krčijo, problem pa predstavlja tudi vedno večja starost vinogradov, saj je njihova obnova povezana z visokimi stroški. Med vinorodnimi okoliši in podokoliši v Sloveniji nastopajo velike razlike v stopnji opuščanja vinogradniških površin.
Spreminjanje kontinentalnosti v Evropi v obdobju 1938-2018
Authors: Vajs Tanja
Published: April 2024

V članku obravnavamo spreminjanje kontinentalnosti v Evropi v obdobju 1938-2018. Pri tem uporabimo neobdelane podatke za povprečne mesečne temperature zraka, pridobljene iz spletne strani »European Climate Assessment & Dataset«, za 443 klimatskih postaj. Podatke izluščimo in obdelamo s programskim paketom MATLAB, rezultate izrišemo s programom Excel in programskim okoljem ArcGIS. Rezultati kažejo, da med obravnavanimi indeksi kontinentalnosti (indeks kontinentalnosti po Supanu, Gorczynskem in Conradu) prihaja do razlik. Prav tako smo ugotovili, da so se trendi indeksov kontinentalnosti v obravnavanem obdobju spremenili. Pokazali smo, da postaja podnebje v Evropi bolj maritimno predvsem na območju Severne in Vzhodne Evrope, v nekaterih predelih pa postaja bolj kontinentalno, predvsem na območju ob Sredozemskem morju.

Razvoj slovenske gimnazije in položaja predmeta geografija v predmetniku gimnazije
Authors: Konečnik Kotnik Eva
Published: April 2024

Po ustanovitvi štiriletne izbirne gimnazije leta 1958 je bila institucija gimnazije podvržena pogostim spremembam, ki so bile največkrat posredno ali neposredno odraz družbeno-političnih sprememb. S spremembami gimnazije kot institucije se je spreminjal tudi položaj predmeta geografija v njenem predmetniku. Od ustanovitve gimnazije do danes lahko zasledujemo upadanje števila obveznih ur geografije.
Place as overlap between the interests of regional geography and marketing
Authors: Matlovičová Kvetoslava
Published: April 2024

The new challenges presented by a place have launched a marketing research initiative that integrates various marketing approaches requiring not only a wide variety of knowledge in humanities, social sciences, and business disciplines, but also comprehension of the entire complexity of its product – a place. The intricacy of its very essence and nature has probably been one of the reasons why no consensus exists so far on how to define the marketing of place. Here is the space for geography to which a place represents an object of research, and to which a place is also part of the method of how to perform such research. This paper is dedicated to discussion about the issues of applicability of the concept of place in territorial marketing that forms the contact zone between regional geography and marketing.

Knowledge base of the region - role of the universities in regional innovation (the case of south Transdanubia)
Authors: Gál Zoltán
Published: April 2024

The economic attraction and competitiveness of the regions depends on the spatially balanced network-based co-operation of different research bases and firms involved in innovation development. The utilisation of the regional knowledge base, innovation potential and co-operation between businesses and universities & research institutions continues to play an increasing role in regard to business success and the competitive economic performance of the regions. Innovation is considered as an interactive and system-like process depending on traditions with definite spatial forms and it is manifested in the form of “networks” among the companies and universities, and among the different transfer organisations, which can stimulate university-industry linkages. The paper presents the findings of the “ERAWATCH regional benchmarking surveys – in which the South Transdanubian region participated in – on innovation potential and investment into research” surveys concentrating on the role of innovation networks, within them highlighting the special role of regional universities in the collaborative research networks. The introduction is followed by a demonstration highlighting the role of universities in national and regional knowledge transfer emphasizing the fact that the spatial (regional) structure of innovation is very much determined by the transformation of potential universities and their widening innovative functions during the economic transition in Hungary. The next section provides an overview of findings of the ERAWATCH survey (2006) on the role of universities in regional network building and discusses those factors that are necessary for the establishment of a research university model. The last section assesses the efficiency and coherence of the Regional Innovation System with regard to the needs and capacities of the regional economies and the extent of matching or mismatching between the knowledge and economic specialization.
Institutional framework and typology of economic transition in post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe: the role of Bretton Woods institutions
Authors: Ptáček Pavel
Published: April 2024

Departing from the concept of transformation and transition, this article highlights some main directions and problem areas of this process. It starts with description of transitory architecture in countries of Central and Eastern Europe based mostly on the concept of “Washington consensus” as the main method being used during the first stages of transition in many post-communist countries. Firstly we start with description of “Washington consensus” and its application in different countries in transition – from Latin America to the region of post-communist countries. After this theoretical part we start with concrete examples from particular countries where the key transitional processes will be described. Main focus will be put on the privatisation process in the Czech Republic in comparison to other post-communist countries. Typology of transitory processes in particular countries from “shock therapy” to “gradualist” ones will be placed. Than alternative approaches to transition will be introduced, focusing on the concept of path dependency, network analysis, regulation theory and their approaches to state socialism and post-communist transformations. Summarisation of main findings and the counterbalance to neo-liberal approach will be discussed. Is there some “post-Washington consensus” which has learnt from previous mistakes?
The Function Of Zagreb As A Factor Of The Transformation Of The Greater Zagreb Girdle – With A Separate Commentary On Daily Migration
Authors: Feletar Petar
Published: April 2024

With an almost monocentric development, the most powerful central functions in Croatia are concentrated in Zagreb. These functions have a powerful influence on the transformation of the area towards which they gravitate. This influence is greatest on the geographic area of the Greater Zagreb girdle area, i.e. Zagreb County. The processes of the transformation of the Greater Zagreb girdle relate above all to the urbanisation and suburbanisation of the area. These processes extend to rural areas in a very spatially differentiated way, depending primarily on the level of development and the spatial distribution of the transport network. Spatial differentiation and the level of urbanisation and suburbanisation in the Zagreb environs are illustrated through an analysis of the intensity and distribution of daily migration in Zagreb and through expressed changes in the spatial distribution of inhabitation. These processes were considered to be in parallel in the period from 1948 to 2001, the period of the most intensive change.

The first part of this paper presents the distribution and characteristics of companies in which the level of employment reaches a minimum of 200 people located in non-metropolitan rural areas in Poland. The second part contains an analysis of the level of socio-economic development of rural communes, in which enterprises included in the study are located, against the background of all non-metropolitan communes. The last part presents selected aspects of the impact of large economic operators on the local environment using the example of a company with its headquarters in a rural, agricultural area.
Farms and Mines: A Conflicting or Complimentary Land Use Dilemma in Western Australia?
Authors: Haslam McKenzie Fiona M.
Published: April 2024

The Western Australian economy has always been underpinned by farming and mining.  Over the last five years the economy has experienced phenomenal growth due to unprecedented global demand for resources and increasingly, agricultural land is being given up for mining.  Changing land uses challenge industry and community leaders; some communities are overwhelmed by a new population connected with mining, bringing with it a range of social and economic tensions that small communities struggle to cope with.  This paper will discuss the conflicting issues regarding land use planning, local and environmental governance and sense of place while also canvassing positive developments that have enhanced community and regional economic development, thus building a resilient future.

Conservation of Rice Terraces in Japan - Roles of the Sakaori Rice Terrace Conservation Association
Authors: Kobayashi Koji , Harada Chisato
Published: April 2024

Since the 1960s, many farming fields have been left abandoned in Japan. However, rice terrace conservation activities have been spreading extensively in recent years as many people have reconfirmed the multi-functionality of rice terraces in Japan. This paper introduces rice terraces in the Sakaori District of Gifu Prefecture in Japan, and describes the current state of conservation activities as well as challenges ahead that people will face in preserving rice terraces in Japan. It is shown that the efforts and contributions of the Sakaori Rice Terrace Conservation Association members are the primary driving force for conservation and development of the rice terraces in the Sakaori District. However, it is also noteworthy that the farming workforce supporting the Sakaori Rice Terrace Conservation Association is continually diminishing and that the aging of this workforce is causing serious problems as well.
