Plumage ornaments in male Northern Lapwings Vanellus vanellus may not be a reliable indicator of their mating success
Authors: Schonert Beate , Byrkjedal Ingvar , Lislevand Terje
Published: December 2023

Conspicuous morphological traits that signal aspects of physical state of the owner may be used as cues in mate choice, leading to sexual selection of ornamental traits. In birds, colour patterns as well as structural attributes may constitute ornaments affecting mate choice. In the breeding season, Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus males possess long crests, contrast-rich black and white facial markings, a black breast, and a shining greenish dorsal side. In non-breeding and juvenile plumages, and in females, crests are shorter, facial patterns have less clear contrasts, and breast and dorsal side possess varying amounts of light fringes. Depending onmoult energetics in latewinter/early spring, when males acquire their breeding plumage, the state of these characters could potentially signal male condition to females prospecting for mates. We examined if these traits correlated with male mating success in this polygynous species, predicting males with the most expressed ornamental characters (a) tomate earlier and (b) to gain more mates.Trait states were ranked for 31 males of which breeding phenology and number of mates were known. No correlationwas found between trait expression and date of first egg laid on the territory and number of mates did not correlate with trait expression. Thus, the study did not confirm that females use crest length, breast blackness and face contrasts or lack of dorsal fringes as cues in their mate choice. This could be because the elaborate traits do not have an ornamental function important for femalemate choice, but experimental studies would be needed to rigorously test this hypothesis.
Skjern River Valley, Northern Europe’s most expensive wetland restoration project: benefits to breeding waterbirds
Authors: Bregnballe Thomas , Amstrup Ole , Holm Thomas E. , Clausen Preben , Fox Anthony D.
Published: December 2023

After circa 35 years of drainage and intensive arable tillage, the lower Skjern River, Den-mark was re-engineered to its original meanders and flooding regime, creating 22 km 2 of lakes, shallow wetlands and seasonally flooded grazed wet grassland costing €38 million. The primary motivation was to restore the sediment/nutrient retention capacity of the river valley to reduce eutrophication of Ringkøbing Fjord at its efflux. Secondary objectives were to (i) restore breeding and staging bird habitat, (ii) enhance the self-sustaining Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar population and (iii) improve recreational and tourist activities. Despite lack of specific success criteria, breeding waterbird numbers increased from 134 ± 22.9 SE (n = 3) pairs before to 1,744 ± 153 SE (n = 5) after restoration (although on average 1,004 of these were Black-headed Gulls Chroicocephalus ridibundus), species richness and diversity also increased. Twenty-nine waterbird species returned to breed, 10 of national or international significance (Danish Red List/European Union Birds Directive Annex 1 species) now ranking Skjern River amongst the top 10 most important breeding waterbird sites in Denmark. Currently, agriculture supports cost-neutral management of the restoration area, but whilst most expected wet meadow and marsh species had returned, lack of goal-orientated management targets resulted in some additional rare and threatened species remaining absent. Breeding pair density and diversity of other species could have been greatly improved by prior planning and management intervention but at additional cost.
The effect of weather variables on the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) spring migration phenology
Authors: Vaitkuviene Daiva , Dagys Mindaugas , Bartkeviciene Galina , Romanovskaja Danuta
Published: December 2023

The influence of weather variables on bird migration is widely recognised as birds have been found to adjust their migration phenology under the influence of weather conditions. This is of particular interest in relation to global climate change. We investigated the long-term (1961–2000) first arrival dates (FAD) of White Storks at their breeding grounds in Lithuania and their relationship with local and regional weather variables. The return of White Storks to their breeding grounds was advanced by almost 5 days during the study period. We found that the arrival time was most strongly influenced by temperature conditions along the migration route in south-eastern Europe as well as at breeding grounds, as warmer temperatures in these areas resulted in earlier arrival of birds. Interestingly, the return of White Storks was closely associated with the onset of the 3°C thermal season – the date when the mean daily air temperature permanently exceeds 3°C. However, in very warm years birds did not return to their breeding grounds as early as would have been expected from temperature alone, suggesting that other factors limit the further advancement of FADs. We suggest that local weather conditions, particularly the air temperature during the final stages of the spring migration, have a more pronounced effect on the arrival dates of White Storks at their breeding grounds than regional climatic phenomena (North Atlantic Oscillation or Indian Ocean Dipole).
Rank-related response in foraging site selection and vigilance behaviour of a small passerine to different winter weather conditions
Authors: Hogstad Olav
Published: December 2023

The foraging patterns and time spent on vigilance behaviour by Willow Tits (Poecile montanus) were studied under varying weather conditions in a subalpine forest in central Norway during the winters of 2009-2013. The birds adjusted their microhabitat use in pines and their vigilance levels in response to perceived risk of predation and starvation. At low temperatures, the dominating adults foraged mainly in the upper and most predation safe areas in pines and the subordinate juveniles in the more predator risky lower halves. When the outer canopies of pines were covered by snow, the adults tended to restrict their foraging activities to the inner parts of the lower halves of the trees and thus overlapped considerably with the juveniles. In windy weather, the age classes differed in site use, mostly because juveniles foraged more in the outer part of the branches. Juveniles were significantly More vigilant than adults under all the weather conditions, and they spent about 60% of their time seeking food whereas adults spent about 85%. It is suggested that the high level of vigilance by the subordinate juveniles is costly and may be the main cause of the higher winter mortality of juveniles compared to that of adults.
Population trends of common breeding forest birds in southern Finland are consistent with trends in forest management and climate change
Authors: Fraixedas Sara , Lindén Andreas , Lehikoinen Aleksi
Published: December 2023

In Finland, modern forestry has caused the gross modification of native forest habitats and a loss of biological diversity due to intensive management regimes. Although less than 1% of the old-growth forest area remains in southern Finland, the effects of forestry on bird population long-term trends have not been comprehensively studied in this area. To fill this knowledge gap, we analysed 30 years of monitoring data of 32 common forest breeders in southern Finland. For each species, we fitted piecewise log-linear trends in two segments: 1984–1998 (period 1) and 1999–2013 (period 2). The estimated trends were analysed in relation to the species-specific habitat preferences, average tree height preference, migratory strategy, and latitudinal distribution. The trends turned on average more negative in period 2 compared to period 1, but the between-species variation in this change was not explained by any of the predictors. For the whole study period, species with a preference for late successional and nutrient-poor habitats (mostly found in northern latitudes) showed more negative population trends. In addition, trends changed on average –3%/ 500 km latitude.We further developed three summarizing multi-species indices, most of which should be useful for monitoring the general state of breeding forest bird communities in southern Finland. Our results suggest that bird communities are shaped by both a loss of mature forests and by climate warming. The decline of birds preferring native forests, reflected by the mature forest index, could undoubtedly change with an improvement of the conservation effectiveness in southern Finland.
European ducks in a changing world: human impacts, population processes and species interactions

Published: December 2023

On the 7–11 April 2015, ca one hundred duck researchers from all over Europe and beyond gathered at the 4th Pan European Duck Symposium in Hanko, southern Finland, to present and discuss ongoing research. We encouraged the delegates to submit their research to Ornis Fennica, which offers free open access, with the aim to gather the resulting publications in one issue, applying the usual rigorous external peer review process and acceptance criteria. We ended up with seven accepted articles (six original articles and one review), all edited by the Guest Editors and Editor-in-Chief. Here, we identify some shared foci of interest, providing guidance as to where to direct future waterfowl research efforts in Europe.
Population decline of the Siberian Tit (Poecile cinctus) in southern Norway and an assessment of possible causes
Authors: Dale Svein , Andreassen Ellen T.
Published: December 2023

The Siberian Tit (Poecile cinctus) is an old-growth forest specialist in the northern taiga. The Finnish population has declined dramatically due to logging. An isolated population occurs in southern Norway. This population was estimated at 1,000 pairs based on surveys in 1979–80, and the Siberian Tit constituted 9% of all individuals in the whole bird community and 64% of all tits in lichen-dominated pine forest. In 2011–12 we censused tit species (Paridae) along 292.5 kmline transects at 51 sites in southern Norway with potential occurrence of Siberian Tit. We found that the Siberian Tit constituted only about 1% of all tit territories or individuals. Recensuses of two sites which had Siberian Tits in 1979–80 showed no presence in 2011. The overall distribution range appears to have contracted over the past 30 years, and we suggest that current population size is only 50–150 pairs. We suggest three possible causes (climate change, competition with other tit species, forestry) forwhy the population of Siberian Tits in southern Norway has declined.A prospective assessment of available evidence indicated that 1) therewas no change in elevation of historical records spanning > 40 years, 2) Great Tits (Parus major) andWillow Tits (Poecile montanus)were now common in areas where they did not occur in 1979–80, 3) there was a large overlap in habitat selection of the Siberian Tit and three other tit species, 4) there was only a weak association of Siberian Tits with old-growth forest, and 5) previously occupied sites had generally not been affected by logging. Thus, we suggest that future studies of population decline of the Siberian Tit should focus in particular on competitive interactions with other tit species.
Plumage colouration variability of male Bluethroats (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) wintering in SE Iberia
Authors: Peiró Ignacio G. , Pagani-Núñez Emilio
Published: December 2023

Male colouration has a key role in signalling individual quality during the breeding season. Although winter plumage probably correlates with summer plumage, few studies have focused on the determinants of male colouration during the non-breeding period. If plumage colouration is related to an individual’s age or is strongly correlated with body condition during the non-breeding period, this trait could be used by conspecifics to assess quality, origin or status of a given individual.Here,we analysed plumage colouration and body size of male Bluethroats (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) wintering in SE Iberia. We found that young individuals had narrower black bands and wider white bands than adult individuals in their throat patch.Also, thewidth of the chestnut band increased with later capture date. Finally, blue throat colouration was positively correlated with tail length and negatively correlatedwith tarsus length.We could not find any significant relationship between throat patch colouration and bodymass.We concluded that individual’s age and capture date were significantly related to black and chestnut throat colouration, respectively. Therefore, these coloured bands could provide reliable cues on individual’s age and their geographical origins. The variability of plumage colouration of wintering Bluethroats provides an excellent study system in which to test further hypotheses on the role of the throat patch colouration outside the breeding season.
Genetic assessment of the subspecies status of Eurasian Magpies (Pica pica) in Norway
Authors: Lee Sang-im , Kim Woohjung , Choe Jae , Husby Magne
Published: December 2023

Based on phenotypes, two subspecies of EurasianMagpies (Pica pica) are recognized in Norway, with nominate P. p. pica in southern Norway, and P. p. fennorum in northern Norway. In this study, we investigated whether there are genetically distinct groups of Magpies in Norway, which can be considered in the discussion of the subspecies status. We collected DNAfrom 61Magpies from seven locations in Norway, and measured genetic diversity using two types of markers: mitochondrial DNA sequences and microsatellites. Genetic differentiation among the Magpies was extremely low. Most of the variance was within populations, and the population identity and the putative subspecies border did not explain the genetic variance among the samples. Although microsatellite markers indicated genetic differentiation, the pattern was not consistent with the geographic locations of the sampling sites.Mismatch analysis suggested that the Magpie populations in Norway were formed by rapid expansion. Our results suggest that all theMagpies in Norway have originated from the same refugia after the last glaciation, their colonization inNorway happened quickly, and that the subspecies status ofMagpies in Norway needs to be reconsidered.
Variation in population trends and spatial dynamics of waterbirds in a boreal lake complex
Authors: Virkkala Raimo
Published: December 2023

Breeding waterbird populations were studied in a boreal lake system between 1986 and 2012 to find out whether there are differences in temporal trends and spatial variation between waterfowl, grebe, diver and gull species. The study was based on censusing all waterbirds in a lake complex of 45.75 km2 of water area and 290 km of shoreline length (scale 1:20,000), and the results were compared with the changes in water quality during the study period. The population density of species varied significantly between thewater bodies, showing thatwaterbird species prefer certain water bodies within the lake system. Spatial variation ofmanywaterfowl – gull species and diver – gull species pairswere similar probably due to heterospecific attraction or similarities in habitat preferences. The temporal density change of breeding ducks and grebes was high: seven of the eight most abundant species showed significant temporal density patterns, having either linear (negative) trend or non-linear (quadratic, first increase then decrease) population change. Pooled pair numbers of waterfowl species were first stable, but declined drastically by half between 2003/2004–2012. In contrast, two out of four gull species increased, and the Black-throatedDiver did not show any significant trend.Water clarity in the lake complex had decreased during the study period, which may have been one reason causing the population changes of waterbirds, because the increase in turbidity largely explained the negative trend of declining ducks.Climate changemay accelerate eutrophication, having, in turn a negative effect on waterbird populations.
Breeding performance of the White-winged Tern (Chlidonias leucopterus) in two habitat types at the edge of their distribution range
Authors: Golawski Artur , Mróz Emilia , Kasprzykowski Zbigniew
Published: December 2023

Peripheral populations that are expanding their distribution often colonise habitats that are different from the centre of their distribution range. These less optimal areas could have an advers effect on their breeding success. Consequently, the production of individuals in these populations must be high if the expansion is to continue. The White-winged Tern (Chlidonias leucopterus) is a good model for studying breeding parameters in peripheral populations, because in the last 20 years, a westward expansion of this tern has been reported in east-central Poland. We evaluate the breeding success of White-winged Tern's in thwo habitats. Data from the centre of this species' distribution range indicates that waterlogged sedges are the typical nesting habitat, whereas ox-bow lakes ar less frequently occupied. However, clutch size and the mean volyme of eggs in a clutch were not explained by the habitat type. The hatching success was significantly higher and the number of hatchlings per pair of breeding terns was also higher (close to significance) in waterlogged sedges than on ox-bow lakes. the causes of nest losses differed by habitat type too. While there was no predation on the nests situated on ox-bow lakes, 30.8% of clutch losses in waterlogged sedges were due to predation. In contrast, 50.0% of clutches on ox-bow lakes failed because the nests sank into the water, whereas in waterlogged sedges this was the cause of just 1.9% of all brood losses. Waterlogged sedges are the preferred habitat, offering safer nesting sites than ox-bow lakes for terns nesting at the edge of their distribution range in east-central Poland.

Published: December 2023

We compared autumnmigration in two distant populations of the nominate subspecies of the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos c. caudatus) with assumed different migratory habits in order to reveal the difference in characteristics of theirmovements.We studied theNorthern European (Lake Ladoga region, NW Russia) population considered to be irruptive, and the Northeastern Asian (Primorye, Russian Far East) population which is believed to migrate regularly. We analyzed year-to-year fluctuation in numbers, timing of movements, body mass, fat reserves and plumage condition in migrating birds.We found that the two studied populations shared similar characteristics of autumn migration. Apart from significant fluctuations in numbers recorded in Northern Europe and Northeastern Asia, other features were similar to what have been observed for regularmigrant species. Autumn movements of Long-tailed Tits in NWRussia and in the Russian Far East were registered every year and occurred in the dates specific to each population; the median date in different years spanned a two week period. In both populations, individuals that migrated later in the season gained larger fat reserves. Birds were involved in autumn movements either at the final stage of moult or just after the end of feather replacement. Our results indicate that Northern European and Northeastern Asian populations of Aegithalos c. caudatus show similar patterns of migratory behaviour. 1. Introduction Some species show a wide range of intraspecific variation inmigratory status (from year-round residents and partial short-distance to regular shortand long-distancemigrants) according to different geographical regions, different habitats, or both (Cramp 1998). Such variation in migration habits could reflect different genetic programs of populations (or subspecies) or/and could be a response to the environmental conditions in the...

Light pollution, especially artificial light at night, has been repeatedly found to affect bird behaviour, resulting in an earlier start of morning activities. However, as thus far only a limited number of species has been investigated, the generality of the effects of light pollution on animal behaviour is difficult to assess. As such effects may be less pronounced in species starting their activity at rather high light intensities,we here investigated the effects of artificial light on themorning activity of a late-active non-passerine, theWood Pigeon (Columba palumbus), within the breeding period in north-eastern Germany. Additionally, we scored prevailingweather conditions,which typically also affectmorning activity. Despite pronounced differences in the distance to the nearest artificial light source and inmean radiance between urban and ruralWood Pigeons, the onset ofmorning activity did not differ between the two habitat types. Instead, it was affected by prevailing weather conditions (temperature, cloud cover).We conclude that responses to light pollution are likely species-specific, and that species starting their activity late in the day may be in general less affected. For such species prevailingweather conditions are likelymore important for daily activity patterns than light pollution.
Sex-specific timing of autumn migration in birds: the role of sexual size dimorphism, migration distance and differences in breeding investment
Authors: Lehikoinen Aleksi , Santaharju Jarkko , M Anders
Published: December 2023

Multiple studies have investigated differential migration of sexes during spring migration, while such differences during autumn migration are poorly studied.We tested several functional hypotheses explaining differences in autumnmigration dates between sex and age classes and whether these patterns vary between short- and long-distance migrants (SDMs andLDMs, respectively).We used data of ringed birds from the Hanko and Lågskär Bird Observatory, Finland, North Europe. Altogether data for c. 200,000 ringed birds including 14 passerine species were used. Protogyny,with femalesmigrating earlier than males, was common among young birds, and this difference was clearer in LDMs than inSDMs.However, in adults protogyny was not found, whereas protandy,malesmigrating earlier than females,was found in two species. Furthermore, species-specific sexual size dimorphism, SSD, was significantly connected with the time differences in migration between the sexes in SDMs, but not in LDMs. These results suggest thatmultiple factors are likely affecting differential timing of autumnmigration in birds. It can be beneficial for males, especially young birds, to spend additional time at the breeding grounds to prospect for future nesting sites. The connection between SSD and autumn migration dates in SDM could be linked with the pattern where larger sized individuals can winter closer to the breeding grounds. In addition, later migration dates of adult females compared to adultmales could suggest that larger reproductive investment by adult females on breeding may delay their autumn migration.
Migratory patterns of Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) from central Norway
Authors: Østnes Jan E. , Kroglund Rolf T. , Kleven Oddmund , Nygård Torgeir
Published: December 2023

Migratory behaviour is subject to intraspecific variation and may be determined by the age, sex and population origin of individuals. Here we equipped eight juvenile Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) with GPS-based satellite-transmitters to investigate their migratory behaviour from a recently re-established breeding area in central Norway. Migration routes fanned out widely across Europe, and migratory behaviour differed between individuals. Five of the eight Ospreys completed their first southward migration to wintering areas in tropical Africa. They travelled a median distance of 7,482 km and spent from 21 to 92 days on their journeys. Median travel distance was 120% longer than a straight-line distance. Stopover sites were located just before or immediately after crossings of geographical barriers and the differences in the time spent on the migratory journeys was mainly a consequence of the number of stopover days.
Breeding performance of the White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) under different temperature conditions

Published: December 2023

Many bird species breeding under optimal temperature conditions show higher reproductive success. However, less information can be found about how the reproductive output differs within one population and one breeding season. To find inter and intra-seasonal differences in several aspects of breeding ecology and breeding output we monitored 223 breedings of the White-throated Dippers within the three river basins of northern Slovakia (Central Europe) in 2010–2018. We registered the beginning of egg laying, clutch size, nest success and the proportion of second clutches. There were significant differences in egg-laying commencement between breeding seasons. The mean February and March temperature significantly influenced the first egg day (20 February–18 March), median laying date (8 March–6 April), the interval between the first and the last first egg in all clutches in one breeding season (37–50 days) and the proportion of second clutches (0.77%–0.95%). However, the differences were found not only between different seasons. The egg-laying initiation of individual nests within each season was considerable affected by the altitude and the proportion of second clutches of particular nests was significantly influenced by their timing of egg laying.
Nest box reuse in a migrating bird is independent of nest content
Authors: Sonerud Geir A.
Published: December 2023

Site fidelity after successful nesting is an adaptation to spatially heterogeneous and temporally auto-correlated risk of nest predation. Cavity-nesting common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) females use this strategy to minimize nest predation from pine marten (Martes martes), but because goldeneyes migrate they may save time when deciding where to nest by relying on information about successful nests gained in the previous year. I tested whether reuse of a nest box where the previous nest was successful is affected by the content. After a goldeneye had successfully nested, I manipulated nest box availability by offering two nest boxes; one in the original nest tree and one in a new tree for the season, each containing either old nest material from the successful nest or new nest material, i.e. wood shavings. The boxes were installed and relocated when goldeneyes were absent from the study area. The manipulation was designed to test whether goldeneyes reuse a cavity based on information conveyed by its current content, or on private or public information gained in the previous nesting season. Goldeneyes consistently reused the box in the original nest tree, independent of box content. Thus, when the information available in the current nesting season conflicted with information acquired in the previous nesting season, the goldeneyes relied on the latter rather than on information that would cost valuable time to update after arrival in spring. The common practice among ornithologists and land managers to clean nest boxes after each nesting would not affect cavity reuse in the goldeneye.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. The paper presents an innovative approach of combining the methods of close-range photogrammetry and remote sensing in the analysis of the efficiency of photovoltaic parks. A UAV was used to capture the site and close-range photogrammetry technology was used to create orthoimages in the thermal and visible zone. Orthoimages obtained from close-range photogrammetry imagery were combined, and the resulting multichannel image was analysed with remote sensing methods. Spatially overlapping RGB and thermal orthoimages are collocated and a multispectral image was created. Cluster analysis of the multispectral image was performed. Using remote sensing methods, a four-channel multichannel image was created and classified through supervised classification approach with predefined masks. The training data for the classifier represents the types of defects found on the photovoltaic panels. The obtained results were analysed and an assessment of the classification was made.

Стаття присвячена проведенню порівняльно-правового аналізу законодавчих підходів України та низки європейських країн, присвячених правовому регулюванню відносин щодо застосування конструкції довірчої власності. Констатовано, що внаслідок рецепції інститут фідуції знаходить своє закріплення у правопорядках багатьох країн світу, однак найбільшого розвитку досліджуваний інститут набув, безумовно, у країнах англо-американської правової системи. Сутністю англо-американського трасту є те, що довірена особа наділена засновником правом власності, яке дозволяє їй контролювати та розподіляти довірчу власність і діяти як власник стосовно третіх осіб, тоді як бенефіціар має справедливе право на фактичну або потенційну вигоду від використання довірчої власності на умовах, встановлених засновником. Констатовано більш гнучкий, ніж у вітчизняному законодавстві, підхід французького законодавця до правового регулювання відносин щодо довірчої власності, що надає суб’єктам значну свободу у виробленні моделі договірного зв’язку щодо встановлення довірчої власності. Встановлено, що румунське законодавство закріпило розуміння фідуції як універсального правового інституту, що застосовується до широкого спектра відносин у сфері довірчого управління активами. Фідуція в Румунії побудована як трастоподібна конструкція, що уможливлює встановлення режиму довірчої власності із тимчасовою передачею права власності для досягнення певних цілей. В основу концепції «швейцарського трасту» покладено сприйняття його як універсального правового інструмента, що застосовується не лише в контексті забезпечення виконання зобов’язань, а й у цілях створення сімейного фідуціарного фонду, управління майном та спадщиною тощо. Встановлено, що молдовська модель трасту є доволі унікальною порівняно з іншими моделями, оскільки її концепція є результатом симбіозу рис англо-американського трасту та європейської довірчої власності, їх взаємопоглинання та взаємодоповнення.
ПОРЯДОК ПЕРЕМІЩЕННЯ ФІЗИЧНИМИ ОСОБАМИ ВАЛЮТНИХ ЦІННОСТЕЙ ЧЕРЕЗ МИТНИЙ КОРДОН УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Німа Анна Олегівна
Published: December 2023

Статтю присвячено розкриттю теоретичних та практичних проблем порядку переміщення фізичними особами валютних цінностей через митний кордон України, окремим аспектам їх правового регулювання з урахуванням особливостей такого переміщення в умовах воєнного стану. Розкрито зміст понять «валютні цінності», «валюта України», «іноземна валюта», «банківські метали», «транскордонне переміщення валютних цінностей», «переміщення товарів через митний кордон України». Запропоновано власну юридичну конструкцію «переміщення фізичними особами валютних цінностей через митний кордон України». Виділено два види проходження митного контролю у разі переміщення фізичними особами валютних цінностей через митний кордон України: 1) проходження митного контролю «зеленим коридором»; 2) проходження митного контролю «червоним коридором». Констатовано, що під час в’їзду в Україну фізичні особи можуть переміщувати через митний кордон України без письмового декларування митному органу готівкову валюту і банківські метали у сумі/ вартістю, що не перевищує в еквіваленті 10000 євро. З’ясовано, що письмове декларування фізичними особами під час в’їзду в Україну необхідне лише у разі переміщення валюти України, іноземної валюти та банківських металів у сумі, що дорівнює або перевищує еквівалент 10000 євро (переміщення називається проходженням митного контролю «червоним коридором»). Встановлено, що у випадку в’їзду неповнолітніх осіб в Україну вони мають право на транскордонне переміщення валютних цінностей у сумі/вартістю, встановлених валютним законодавством. Виокремлено особливості декларування неповнолітніми особами валютних цінностей у разі переміщення їх через митний кордон. Розкрито підстави відповідальності у разі порушення вимог законодавства під час переміщення фізичними особами валютних цінностей через митний кордон України.
Una poética de la escisión: exilio y dolor en la narrativa de Agota Kristof
Authors: Ferreri Natalia L.
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo recoge investigaciones precedentes que afirman que el estilo de Agota Kristof (Hungría, 1935-Suiza, 2011) es el resultado de su experiencia de desarraigo cultural, territorial, afectivo y, sobre todo, lingüístico. A partir de esa afirmación, analizamos en seis novelas de la autora, desde la teoría de la emocionalidad, de qué modo el dolor es la emoción que da contorno a las subjetividades. En los textos narrativos de Kristof, la experiencia de la escisión afectiva, lingüística, cultural, onomástica o territorial configura identidades amputadas que buscan su completitud —afectiva, lingüística, cultural, onomástica o territorial— fuera de sus propios contornos subjetivos. Esa búsqueda de una prótesis subjetiva funciona como pulsión narrativa. Los efectos de la emocionalidad del dolor como organizador de la diégesis dan como resultado un discurso que abandona toda pretensión lógico-causal, y que prescinde, por momentos, de la verosimilitud. Esto constituye lo que llamamos una poética de la escisión.
Les messages secrets d’Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle à Simon Renard : la question du mariage de Marie Tudor
Authors: Pich-Ponce Eva
Published: December 2023

Cette étude vise à dévoiler le code secret utilisé par le conseiller Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle dans ses lettres à l’ambassadeur impérial Simon Renard pour traiter la question du possible mariage entre le prince Philippe d’Espagne et la reine d’Angleterre, Marie I. Nous montrerons comment trois langages chiffrés différents ont été utilisés par l’empire espagnol dans les lettres envoyées à ses ambassadeurs en Angleterre entre 1553 et 1554. Puis, nous nous centrerons particulièrement sur cinq lettres, partiellement chiffrées, écrites en français et conservées dans la Bibliothèque municipale de Besançon. Celles-ci présentent un langage chiffré particulier qui témoigne du caractère hautement secret du contenu du message. Dans cet article, nous décrirons le fonctionnement de ce chiffre, qui montre bien comment la langue française était codifiée au XVIe siècle quand on ne voulait pas que le contenu de la lettre soit intercepté.
Examining the Recorded Histories of Nigeria's First Post-Independence Universities
Authors: Toye Adefolatomiwa
Published: December 2023

Nigeria’s independence ushered in an era of university creation. Four new universities were established by 1962, just two years after attaining self-rule. Twenty-five years later, they each commissioned and published a book that documented their histories. This article employs a textual analysis of these publications within the context of contemporary research on university architecture in 20th-century Nigeria. It examines these books as a historical source for tracing the universities’ architectural histories. It further explores the ways they documented their built environment through their accounts of academic development, institutional changes, and nation-building goals. Finally, it reflects on the relevance of their sources, narratives, and limitations in reimagining the architectural history of Nigeria’s first universities.
Rukurato Hall, Banyoro, Uganda and the Great Hall, KNUST, Ghana
Authors: Latim Timothy , Kporla Agbeh Jonathan
Published: December 2023

This article presents two modernist building case studies, one each from East and West Africa which explore approaches to modernist public building conservation. The Rukurato Hall in East Africa, formerly used as a regional assembly hall for the Bunyoro Kingdom in Uganda, is now used as the parliament building of the Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom.The Great Hall in West Africa at the Kumasi University of Science and Technology (KNUST) serves as an institutional hall; it is a monument of academic and cultural significance in Kumasi. This article delves into the historical evolution of the Great Hall, which has hosted numerous essential events, ranging from local academic gatherings to distinguished international conferences since 1967. The Great Hall’s rich heritage and architectural prominence have been subject to various interventions aimed at conserving its essence. The examination of these interventions in maintaining the integrity of the building while adapting to the changing needs of the university underscores the delicate balance required between modernization and safeguarding cultural and architectural legacies.Both case studies present contrasting views on the challenges of conservation in the African context, resulting in different conservation efforts. In the case of the Rukurato Hall, arguable the loss of function for a significant period, before reinstatement in the late 1990s and challenges of funding have greatly influenced the ability to realize conservation ambitions. In the Great Hall, whilst conservation funds were secured, and the conservation effort was successful, the use of the Hall has been ‘controlled’ and various actions have arguably tested the authenticity of the conservation process transforming the building aesthetic in the process. This article employs methods of document analysis, archival research, and interviews with key stakeholders.
Connecting the Dots

The Modern Movement encompasses a diverse collection of both iconic and ordinary treasures of architecture worldwide, among which some are safeguarded with respect to their values, while others were demolished, have undergone alterations, neglect, or lack of maintenance and preservation over time. Docomomo has been playing a pivotal role in documenting and safeguarding significant architectural works of the 20th century. Its National and Regional Working Parties (WPs), spread across the globe, have diligently compiled archives of photographs, drawings, historical records, and research materials related to Modern Movement architecture, town planning and landscape design. However, the decentralized nature of these archives poses challenges in terms of accessibility, coordination, and attaining a more comprehensive record of the Modern Movement with a global perspective. Therefore, this study undertakes the explorative task of compiling data from these separate online-available archives of the WPs to attain a broader overview of the documented objects of Modern Movement architecture on a global-scale. The collected data is analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and influential architects and to elaborate on the potential factors contributing to the current status. The study involves analysis of the predominant format of building use/function among documented architectural works, examination of the geographical and chronological coverage of available lists, and the distribution of intervention status within the inventory. These aspects provide valuable insights into the functional diversity, geographic spread, and preservation status of architectural works documented in the dispersed archives. This study also facilitates comparative studies between different regions and countries, shedding light on the shared characteristics and unique contributions of the Modern Movement across diverse cultural contexts. The results help identify trends, gaps, and areas of focus for future research and documentation efforts, ensuring the holistic appreciation of architectural works, and contributing to the scholarly understanding and preservation of this modern heritage.
