El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo conocer el papel que desempeñan otras actividades “minoritarias” como el astroturismo, el turismo ornitológico y el enoturismo en este proceso diversificador de la economía turística. Los resultados demuestran que a pesar de su limitada concurrencia, las actividades demuestran tener el potencial suficiente para su desarrollo y consolidación.
Prototipo de sistema de recomendación grupal en un destino turístico
Authors: Vargas Pérez Pedro , Leiva Olivencia José Luis
Published: March 2021

Las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones constituyen un campo muy activo para ofrecer un valor añadido a las visitas a un destino de un grupo de turistas. Los destinos deben proporcionar herramientas tecnológicas capaces de ofrecer información personalizada, interactiva, etc. Actualmente es muy común el uso de herramientas como guías o páginas web que cubren las necesidades básicas de los turistas, pero, se tratan de recursos insuficientes, pues la evolución de los dispositivos móviles ha provocado un cambio en la forma en que los turistas interactúan y obtienen información. Un caso concreto es la utilización de sistemas de recomendación en dispositivos móviles, que permite desarrollar aplicaciones que enriquecen la experiencia turística. En este ámbito, resulta de especial interés la personalización de la información a través de sistemas de recomendación grupales. Se presenta en este trabajo un prototipo que utiliza técnicas de recomendación para visitas en grupo en un sistema integrado de gestión de destinos (SIGD).

Authors: Álvarez Díaz Raquel , Valdés Peláez Luis
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo está dedicado, por un lado, a la propuesta de un sistema de indicadores para el análisis del desarrollo turístico sostenible de destinos municipales y, por otro, a analizar la situación actual de Gijón en materia de sostenibilidad a través de la aplicación de dicho sistema. Una vez establecida una base conceptual en torno a los principales temas tratados, el turismo sostenible y la utilización de indicadores como herramienta de medición, se propone un sistema basado en determinadas referencias bibliográficas. Con el sistema de indicadores ya constituido, se procede a su aplicación tras la obtención de las cifras y datos correspondientes. Tras llevar a cabo la metodología descrita y observar los resultados obtenidos, se observa que, a grandes rasgos, Gijón es un municipio que ya realiza acciones en torno a la sostenibilidad turística y se puede observar una evolución hacia la misma. A pesar de ello, existe una gran falta de comunicación e información en torno a las acciones llevadas a cabo. En este trabajo se ha tratado de exponer en todo momento la necesidad de implantar un modelo turístico sostenible en los destinos y que, para ello, es necesario disponer de una herramienta de medición que permita conocer la situación previa del municipio así como su evolución

Published: March 2021

In view of the growing international trade in Sub Saharan Africa, and very few studies done on the determinants of port choice from the Sub Saharan African port users perspective, this paper proves that efficiency is one of the critical determinants of port selection. Efficiency is a critical transportation parameter. The kernel of the paper is to examine port choice indicators and critical transportation parameters as a basis for port selection. Fifty-one business representative from Sub Saharan African countries responded to the questionnaire to indicate what they consider as critical in their importation and exportation of shipment via ports in Sub Saharan Africa. The paper established that critical transportation parameters and key port indicators are determinants in the choice of ports.
The Leakage of Steam Mass Flow Rate through the Gland Seals – Influence on Turbine Produced Power
Authors: Mrzljak Vedran , Kudláček Jan , Begić-Hajdarević Đerzija , Musulin Jelena
Published: March 2021

In this paper is presented an analysis of gland seals operation and their influence on the performance of low power steam turbine with two cylinders and steam reheating, which can be used in marine applications. Performed analysis presents a comparison of steam turbine main operating parameters when gland seals operation is neglected (as usual in the most of the literature) and when steam mass flow rates leaked through all gland seals are taken into consideration. Steam mass flow rate leakage through all gland seals reduces produced power of the whole turbine and both of its cylinders. Operation of gland seal mounted at the inlet in the first cylinder of any steam turbine (cylinder which operates with the steam of the highest pressure) has the most notable influence on the reduction of the whole turbine produced power. Gland seal mounted at the outlet of the last turbine cylinder (cylinder which operates with the steam of the lowest pressure) did not have any influence on the reduction of steam turbine produced power. In any detail analysis of a steam turbine (especially the complex turbine with multiple cylinders), gland seals operation should be considered due to their notable influence on the turbine performance.

On GPS L1 Positioning Errors’ Estimation in the Adriatic Region
Authors: Žic Aleksandar , Pongračić Barbara , Kos Serđo , Brčić David
Published: March 2021

Prediction of satellite positioning errors represents a substantial step towards the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) performance assessment. Satellite positioning accuracy in the particular area can be expected to be similar due to prevailing environmental conditions. This similarity opens the opportunity to estimate and predict the positioning errors of close locations. The paper aims to develop a regional model of positioning errors estimation for Global Positioning System (GPS) single-frequency receivers based on ground truth data from reference stations, in this phase considering different levels of space weather activity as one f the criteria defining environmental conditions. The model should provide a simple positioning error prediction in cases where reference stations and respective data do not exist. The space weather conditions were examined to determine the influence on GPS satellite positioning performance at three selected International GNSS Service (IGS) stations in the Adriatic Region - Graz, Padua, and Matera. The mutual relations in terms of positioning error patterns were elaborated. The same 15-day period in three consecutive years was analysed. Pearson’s coefficient was utilised as a major indicator for determining the degree of correlation. The data from IGS stations Padua and Graz showed better, significant correlation results. The IGS station Matera, located farther and southward slightly differed in positioning deviations’ patterns and was not used for the model development. Satellite positioning errors of IGS Padua were used as a reference to determine the positioning errors of IGS Graz. Due to the significant correlation results, the linear regression model has been developed for the latitude, longitude, and height positioning errors. The final model coefficients were calculated as average values of the model coefficients for latitude, longitude, and height errors for elaborated periods. The cross-validation with five folds has been carried out, showing good model performance with R2 values of 0.7785 for geographic latitude, 0.8132 for the geographic longitude, and 0.7796 for height above sea level, respectively. The validation showed that the model could be applied during all levels of space weather activity on a regional basis.
Review of Good Practices in the Introduction of Traffic Management Systems and Urban Mobility
Authors: Vilke Siniša , Tadić Frane
Published: March 2021

Mobility, as one of the most significant factors in maintaining the quality of life in cities, faces problems such as traffic congestion and environmental pollution. The rapid population growth in urban areas has had an impact on increased traffic, which is why many cities have decided to implement or improve existing intelligent transport systems (ITS) that reduce traffic congestion with more comfortable and safer pedestrian traffic. Although the population in developed and densely populated cities is familiar with multimodal transportation, inadequate urban transport systems and large individual transport in place continue to pose a major threat. The application of appropriate ITS systems manages traffic and mobility management that are present to residents and facilitate access to all forms of transport. The aim of this paper is to explore urban mobility examples of good traffic management practice for the possibility of their application in cities with issues such as traffic jams and accidents, low pedestrian safety, parking problems, etc.
Projection of the Electronic Toll Collection System in the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Vidmar Marko , Žagar Marino , Perić Mile
Published: March 2021

This paper deals with the topic of a modern electronic toll collection system that will be applied in the Republic of Croatia from the year 2022 onwards. The paper primarily analyses the existing toll collection systems in Croatia, as well as in the European Union. Modern electronic toll collection systems were analysed with an emphasis on the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system, because ANPR technology will be used in Croatia after the restructuring of road traffic occurs. ANPR is not a new technology, however in the last twenty years it has found its wider application. This happened mostly thanks to local and global infrastructural development and technological improvements therefore in turn infrastructure required for the operation of this system became cheaper. By applying the ETC and ANPR, Croatia will have a system in line with European directives and practices which are being applied in other European countries. The system will in turn significantly raise the quality of road traffic in Croatia and reduce its costs.

Authors: Chitsazian Morteza , Khorsandi Zahra
Published: March 2021

The emergence of digital currencies has drawn a great deal of attention in research projects. Digital currency is a type of money in virtual space that are born on the Internet ground. Along with the introduction of digital currencies in the economy, we have seen a profound change in payment systems that may change the future of money. Digital currencies are money in nature and considered as a property in jurisprudence. According to studies, emergence, extraction, and framework or digital currencies are free of any jurisprudence impediment. Based on theoretical foundations, digital currencies are property and money and given their ambiguities and shortages and the administrative jurisprudence approach, digital currencies may not be approved by the religion while the ambiguities are not solved. Jurisprudence rules namely no damage, destruction and the rule of negation of domination (the sovereignty of non-Muslims on Muslim is not acceptable) are the key rules that limit the extent to which digital currencies are acceptable. At the beginning, digital currencies appear as highly complicated and ambiguous, while, they actually have a simple nature. The essence of digital currencies is not clear despite different opinions stated about them and advantages and disadvantages. The present study is an attempt to introduce efficient strategies to use digital currencies and solve many of the disadvantages.

Applied Physics is a basic course in engineering science. As an applied science, it is expected that it can be seen its application in learning material as skills demanded by graduates. CTL is a learning concept that help teachers connect the material they teach with real-world situations of students and encourage students to make connections between the knowledge they have and their application in their lives. The instructional development model used is the IDI (Instructional Development Institute) which consists of define, develop, and evaluate. The result of this development with a CTL-based model has syntactic of Display, Inquiry, Learning Community, and Authentic Assessment (DILA). The structure of the model in the form of a theoretical model has been validated by a hypothetical model that will be tested for its application. The syntax that exists in the DILA learning model trains students to make discoveries, cooperate and make judgments.

The birth of Perppu 1/2020 as passed into Law 2/2020 presents the pros and cons of views in society. Article 27 of Perppu 1/2020 which regulates state financial policies and financial system stability for handling the Covid-19 pandemic turns out to give privileges to certain officials to be immune from the law. The rule of law universally prioritizes the main principle of equality before the law or everyone is equal before the law and the rule of law. But on the other hand, there is a concept called emergency constitutional law. Emergency law is a law that is deliberately enacted in and for emergencies, namely conditions that are narrow and precarious, very dangerous situations.This research is normative juridical research (normative legal research) which aims to analyze the suitability of the regulation of legal immunity rights with the concept of emergency constitutional law in Indonesia; analyze the impact of legal immunity rights regulation on the protection of citizens' rights; and finding indicators of regulating legal immunity rights by the concept of emergency constitutional law in Indonesia and the 1945 Constitution.
The Capacity of Police Organizations to Prevent Crime with an Emphasis on Interpol and Europol
Authors: Rostami Bnafsheh , Jooj Atefeh
Published: March 2021

The spread of organized crime with the advancement of transportation systems and the facilitation of transnational crime using the Internet are among the consequences of the age of communication, which makes it more difficult to deal with crime than in the past. Therefore, mutual cooperation between governments in the field of public security is essential given the current situation. Law enforcement and security officials have come to the conclusion that traditional crime control strategies and repression strategies will not have much of an effect on solving problems, and more than crime control, it must be prevented. This is the basis for the current research. One of the main objectives of this article is to review the cooperation agreements between international police organizations and various countries and the potential for preventive activities. This article is based on descriptive-analytical documents and references, using library resources. The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), as the most important international body after the United Nations and the European Union's criminal police, is one of the most influential international organizations in the field of police cooperation. As part of the goals of its charter adopted by the General Assembly of these organizations, these organizations have provided technical training and information and operational support in member countries in order to prevent the occurrence of crime. This goal is achieved by concluding international agreements in which these organizations are required to send troops to member countries, as well as to hold training workshops. Also, the production and dissemination of educational content to communities about the existence of crimes increases public awareness of the types of crimes that exist. The present paper addresses the organizational capacities of Interpol and Europol in crime prevention.

Authors: Deldar Maryam , Anbiaee Robab , Sayehmiri Kourosh
Published: March 2021

Objective: Rapid technological advances in the last century and the large amount of information have made it difficult to analyze a large number of independent variables. In such circumstances, the existence of interactions of different degrees in the model is expected, in this case, the Cox model cannot be useful and the nonparametric method of random survival forest can be a useful alternative. This study compares the prediction error of random survival forest with Cox and Weibull models in predicting the time to the first recurrence in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Method: In this retrospective study, the records of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who referred to Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran from 2007 to 2018 were used. To investigate the factors affecting the first recurrence of these patients, RSF was fitted to the data. Finally, prediction error of Cox, Weibull and RSF were compared using C-Index and Brier score.
Results: Brier score was calculated 0.16 for RSF, and 0.24 for Cox, also C-Index was calculated 0.34 for RSF and 0.42 for Cox. Brier score was calculated 0.092 for Cox and 0.089 for Weibull, so the prediction error of RSF was lower than both Cox and Weibull models.
Conclusion: Random survival forest with a suitable fit on many variables and without the need for a special default with a prediction error less than the Weibull and Cox methods can predict the response variable when confronted with high-dimensional data.

Published: March 2021

Objective: Our aim is to perform an analysis, using big data, of cases diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism and aged 18 and over who presented to our hospital, by evaluating the laboratory and socio-demographic data of the patients. Clustering analysis was performed in the big dataset for the purpose of structure-search study on the subject.
Methods: According to ICD 10 diagnoses of hypothyroidism between 2005 to 2018 in our hospital 130159 patients aged 18 and over with E03 and E06 diagnosis codes were included in the study. Since drugs containing levothyroxine used in primary hypothyroidism treatment have an effect on the measured hormone levels, in our study, TSH, fT3 and fT4 laboratory values in the first diagnosis of cases who had not received any treatment as part of the diagnosis according to demographics were analysed. Patients with one or more missing laboratory values were excluded, and data of 2680 patients with complete data and TSH values above 4.94 mU/L were retained. Analysis was made with the k means clustering technique, with the data separated into two sets. k means clustering was performed by including age, TSH, fT3 and fT4 variables. Cliff’s Delta effect size coefficients and confidence intervals were calculated to perform size of the difference.
Results: The higher prevalence of primary hypothyroidism in female and the peak in hypothyroidism at 4-5 decades in both genders were observed. In which ages were low, fT3 and fT4 values were higher, whereas TSH values were lower in male. In which ages were low, TSH values were higher, whereas fT4 values were lower in female.
Conclusion: This study is the first big data analysis study carried out about primary hypothyroidism in our country. Despite the difficulties in implementation, it should not be forgotten that studies like these are important methods for enabling data to be created in our country.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: SARS-Covid 2 is a new type of coronavirus which is a serious threat to all countries. Identifying the risk factors and investigating cases between deaths and discharge can increase public awareness to deal with this virus more easily.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study on 274 patients with COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and April 30, 2020. The cases were 137 COVID-19 patients discharged from the hospital, and the controls were patients who died due to COVID-19. Patient's information was obtained with demographic, clinical risk factors questionnaire, and their medical records.
Result: The results showed that the age over 70, overweight, and high body mass index were significant predictors of death due to COVID-19. Opium use was associated with the death of COVID-19; however, it was not a significant predictor as an independent variable. Histories of chronic disease, as well as clinical signs of dyspnea, were significantly associated with death due to COVID-19. Fever and myalgia were introduced as the supportive clinical signs, so fever and myalgia were significantly more common in discharged individuals.
Conclusion: Given that in this study, age over 70, overweight, obesity, opium use, and having clinical symptoms such as chronic diseases and dyspnea have been introduced as the risk factors for death due to COVID-19, so it is recommended due to lack of access to the appropriate vaccine to prevent COVID-19, during the outbreak of the virus. To prevent infection and spread of the virus, further training is required in the use of face masks, reducing traffic in public places, and proper handwashing.

Introduction: This study aims to understand the dynamics of insurance as a risk management tool for natural disasters in India. It further explores different strategies and programs for disaster insurance adopted by the Indian government and highlights these initiatives' gaps.
Methods: The authors conducted both offline and online desk reviews to understand the dynamics of insurance mechanisms and government strategies. They conducted a narrative review of existing literature, including peer-reviewed articles, thematic books, and government and non-governmental reports from diverse sources.
Results: The review clearly shows that despite the various types of natural disasters the country faces, the coverage of disaster insurance in India remains low. It outlines the importance of insurance as a risk management tool, especially for the most vulnerable sections of society living in rural parts. The review further highlights the benefits of different government schemes and strategies while at the same time highlighting the gaps in these schemes.
Conclusion: The review calls for an urgent and sustained effort to increase the number of individuals insured against natural disasters in the country by addressing the policy shortcomings and engaging with the communities and the private sector to understand their respective needs. The review also underlines the importance of creating awareness regarding disaster insurance among the wider population. Furthermore, it calls for a comprehensive disaster management plan with insurance as one of its pillars.
“PENNY DREADFUL” AND NEO-BAROQUE POETICS OF TRANSGRESSION
Authors: Tomaiuolo Saverio
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the poetics of the television series Penny Dreadful (2014-2016, written by John Logan) as one of the original examples of contemporary neo-Victorian culture. Its eclectic intertext is reconstructed, including references to the sensational culture of the Victorian era (Penny Dreadfuls, Grand Guignol), the seminal texts (“Frankenstein”, “Portrait of Dorian Gray”, “Dracula”, etc.), biographies of individual historical fi gures (John Clare), contemporary neo-Victorian novels, fi lms and TV series. Th e artistic innovation of the creators of the series is revealed both at the level of textual self-refl ection and creative adaptation; and at the level of its Baroque poetics, which proves to be close to twenty-fi rst century sensitivity with its characteristic problematization of deviance, alterity, monstrosity, as well as the transgression of moral, physical, religious and cultural boundaries. Th e following neo-Baroque strategies are distinguished: theatrical tropes, and various embodiments of the idea of Th eatrum Mundi, ecstatic mood and dramatization, visual excess, images of the labyrinth, reduplication, intentional eclecticism.

Th is situation directs the Adaptation Studies themselves from traditional “literary and fi lm” studies towards Intermedia Studies and Media Studies. In a new way, the “fi delity” issue, the nature of the prototext, the cultural assessment of the adaptation, the problem of author, and the role of the audience and fandom in the creation and franchising of various adaptations are formulated. Th e socio-cultural and media aspects come to the fore, forcing us to think about adaptation in the categories of evolutionary and environmentalist theory.

Background: Dentists play an essential role in providing high-quality dental care, taking into consideration the clinical context and concomitant medications taken by the patients.

Objective: This study aimed to assess drug-prescribing perception and practices in addition to drug-related educational needs among Lebanese dentists; it also evaluated the need for interprofessional collaboration between dentists and pharmacists.

Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire targeted a sample of dentists from all Lebanese districts. Participants gave their consent by accepting to complete the survey (ethics approval reference: USJ-2016-63). The questionnaire consisted of closed-ended questions exploring: 1) drug-prescribing perception, 2) drug-prescribing practice, and 3) collaboration with pharmacists regarding their respective roles in providing appropriate counseling to patients. Two indexes were created: the first evaluated self-confidence in prescribing medications, and the second assessed dentists’ confidence in pharmacists. Logistic regressions were performed, taking each index as a dependent variable.

Results: A total of 137 dentists completed the survey (59% females; mean age: 42.17; SD: 13.78 years). The majority had a fair to good perceived knowledge in pharmacology and therapeutics (80.3%), only 30.7% reported to be sufficiently equipped to prescribe safely. Dentists exhibited particularly low perceived knowledge about prescribing in elderly patients, dosing, medication use in pregnancy, drug interactions, and adverse reactions. Dentists specialized in periodontics had the lowest odds of having self-confidence in prescribing drugs (aOR=0.25; p<0.001). Also, 64.3% declared that they routinely check a reference source before prescribing, and 78% relied on pharmaceutical companies and medical representatives to get information on medications. While 61% declared that pharmacists should provide oral care counseling, only half of them encouraged their patients to talk to their pharmacists about their medications. Only 15% considered that patients are getting enough counseling from the pharmacist, with a global confidence index below the median value, suggesting the need for more collaboration, especially with periodontists who exhibited the lowest confidence in pharmacists (aOR=0.45).

Conclusions: Lebanese dentists reported some lack of knowledge and confidence in prescribing practices. Education, training, and close collaboration between pharmacists and dentists are essential to overcome these problems and avoid potential harm to patients.

Podeželje in razvoj gastronomije v Sloveniji: Teritorialne kolektivne blagovne znamke po modelu 'Izvorno slovensko' v letu 2020
Authors: Lešnik Štuhec Tanja
Published: March 2021

V publikaciji so predstavljena znanstvena izhodišča in pomen vzpostavljanja teritorialnih kolektivnih blagovnih znamk po modelu Izvorno slovensko za razvoj slovenskega podeželja ter gradnje gastronomskega turizma, ki temelji na kratkih dobavnih poteh od njive do krožnika in vzpostavlja sistem kakovosti in izvora živil ter gradiv tudi za vse spremljajoče dejavnike, ki družno gradijo gastronomsko podeželsko turistično destinacijo. Model temelji na sistematičnem povezovanju, gradnji sistema ocenjevanja in vizualne podobe kolektivne blagovne znamke, usposabljanju, svetovanju, ocenjevanju kakovosti, podeljevanju pravice do uporabe certifikata, vzpostavljanju sistema trženja, prodaje, logistike in zagotavljanja nenehne kakovosti skozi načrtovano spremljanje kakovosti in izvora produktov. Na prvem nivoju gradimo primarno ponudbo, in sicer usposabljamo in svetujemo ponudnikom pridelkov in živilskih izdelkov, da le-ti zgradijo zgodbe z lokalno dodano vrednostjo, ki jih lahko v jedi vključijo gostinci. Na drugem nivoju ustvarjamo lokalno prepoznavno ponudbo nastanitvenih kapacitet, gastronomskih prireditev in doživetij. Tretji nivo je namenjen ambasadorjem kolektivne blagovne znamke, ki pod eno streho združujejo več omenjenih aktivnosti in sprejemnim turističnim agencijam. Četri nivo je namenjen gradnji portala, ki omogoča komuniciranje med deležniki znotraj destinacije in pritegne pozornost zahtevnih raziskovalcev gastronomije, ki so za izjemna butična doživetja pripravljeni nameniti svoj čas in denar. Vse aktivnosti so usklajene z aktivnostmi Slovenske turistične organizacije in MGRT in odlična popotnica za Slovenija – Evropska gastronomska regija Evrope 2021.

Za gastronomski turizem ima Slovenija odlične pogoje v različnostih naravnega okolja, prehranski kulturni dediščini ter bogastvih lokalnih in regionalnih prehranskih kultur. Veliko pozornosti namenja razvoju gastronomije na podeželju, kjer se uspešno uveljavljajo strokovno certificirane kolektivne blagovne znamke.
Strateško planiranje in evropska sredstva kot priložnost za razvoj podeželskih destinacij – primer Jeruzalem Slovenija
Authors: Štumberger Karmen
Published: March 2021

Z uvajanjem managementa v javnem sektorju so lokalne skupnosti postale veliko bolj konkurenčne in podobne podjetjem, podvrženim turbulentnemu poslovnemu okolju. Za vodenje dinamične institucije je treba razviti posebne sposobnosti in umno upravljati človeške vire skladno z vizijo razvoja, politiko in strategijami ter ključnimi vrednotami lokalne skupnosti. Ustrezno izobraženi in motivirani občani, soglasni z vizijo razvoja, so konkurenčna prednost lokalne skupnosti. S črpanjem sredstev Evropske unije obstaja veliko možnosti za celovit razvoj in trženje ponudbe lokalnih skupnosti. Jasno opredeljena vizija, cilji in načrtovan razvoj od spodaj navzgor v okviru LAS-projekta Načrt razvoja gospodarstva in dviga kakovosti življenja na območju LAS UE Ormož v obdobju 2019–2025 temelji na razvoju turizmu v povezavi s kmetijstvom in drugimi povezanimi dejavnostmi na območju destinacije Jeruzalem Slovenija, katere ponudniki so člani Mreže KBZ Jeruzalem Slovenija.
Kreativen, trajnosten in družbeno odgovoren gastronomski turizem
Authors: Polak Mojca
Published: March 2021

Gastronomski turizem predstavlja eno izmed razvojno najzanimivejših turističnih privlačnosti Slovenije. Izjemna kulinarična dediščina, pestrost ponudbe in množica kreativnih gastronomskih rešitev so ob podpori številnih promocijskih aktivnosti in prepoznavnih posameznikov vplivale tudi na imenovanje Slovenije za evropsko gastronomsko regijo 2021. Pri tem je bila pomembna učinkovita zasnova znamčenja teritorialnih kolektivnih blagovnih znamk, ki so ključne za trajnostno upravljanje podeželskih destinacij. Ob tem je slovenska gastronomija doživela pomemben mejnik tudi s prihodom mednarodnih kulinaričnih vodnikov, ki so s svojo prisotnostjo potrdili kompleksnost, sodobnost in izbranost ponudbe. Slovenska gastronomija tako prehaja v drugo razvojno fazo, ki bo komunicirala izjemno kulinarično izkušnjo, sestavljeno iz visokokakovostnih certificiranih pridelkov in kreativnih pristopov številnih gastronomskih protagonistov. Pri tem igrata pomembno vlogo ohranjanje in plemenitenje kulinarične dediščine, ki postajata ključno orodje proti negativnim vplivom globalizacije in izginjanju kulinarične identitete destinacije. Modificiranje kulinarične dediščine tako mora potekati na različnih nivojih predvsem zato, da se ustvari dinamika kreativne gastronomske ponudbe, ki lahko ustvari gastronomsko doživetje z visoko dodano vrednostjo.

Raziskava izbranih šestih teritorialnih kolektivnih blagovnih znamk zajema tri sklope: v prvem delu so na podlagi poglobljenih intervjujev predstavljeni delo in stališča upravljavcev oziroma skrbnikov znamk, v drugem delu je izvedena anketa s ponudniki z znamkami certificirane ponudbe in v tretjem delu anketa s kupci produktov, certificiranih z znamko. Ključna ugotovitev raziskave je relativno visoko zadovoljstvo vseh skupin deležnikov s sistemom certificiranja oziroma zgodbo, ki se razvija v okviru modela 'Izvorno slovensko', prepoznani pa so tudi nekateri izzivi. Slednji so naslovljeni v poglavju, ki podrobno razčleni predloge nadgradnje sistema certificiranja.
Trajnostni razvoj in trajnostno kmetijstvo
Authors: Borec Andreja
Published: March 2021

Cilj trajnostnega razvoja je doseganje ravnovesja med okoljsko, gospodarsko in družbeno trajnostjo. Trajnostno kmetijstvo, glede na splošno definicijo trajnosti, razumemo kot okolju prijazno oziroma neškodljivo z vidika rabe naravnih virov, ekonomsko upravičeno, družbeno podprto ter konkurenčno. Čeprav se je zanimanje za trajnostno kmetijstvo pojavilo po vsem svetu, se motivacija za udejanjanje razvoja trajnostnega kmetijstva razlikuje glede na politični, ekološki in družbenoekonomsko ozračje posamezne države ali regije. Za doseganje ciljev trajnostnega kmetijstva služijo različne kmetijske tehnike in prakse, načela pa izhajajo iz agroekologije. Definicije in načela trajnostnega kmetijstva ne pomenijo kaj dosti, če trajnosti ne moremo ovrednotiti. V ta namen je danes uveljavljena uporaba indikatorjev oz. kazalcev trajnostnega razvoja, ki nam pomagajo tudi pri oblikovanju okoljske in kmetijske politike.

Prekrivni posevki služijo v pridelavi zagotavljanju t. i. agroekološkega servisa na polju in v osnovi niso namenjeni kot pridelek. Za prekrivni posevek se lahko uporabljajo različne rastline in mešanice rastlin, ki izboljšujejo kakovost in rodovitnost tal, zmanjšujejo erozijo, izgubo hranil, zapleveljenost, pojav škodljivcev, bolezni ter ohranjajo biodiverziteto prostoživečih vrst znotraj kmetijskih ekosistemov. Izbor rastlin in sistem upravljanja je odvisen od ciljev pridelave.
