Nomadyczne dziedzictwo. O migracjach rzeczy w przyszłość

Author(s): Monika Stobiecka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2018

The presence of Anthropocene in archaeological debates leads to anticipation of heritage’s future. Theoretical archaeologists emphasize that in the near future advanced climate changes will force people to migrate with their cultural belongings. The future of heritage will be thus digitization, that shapes the current image of archaeology as a scientific practice of restoring and reviving, nowadays motivated by damages caused by political as well as natural turmoils. Digital representations will be appraised in future, because they will stand as remedies for the progressing ruination and degradation of culture and nature. Those digital monuments are of nomadic character – they are mobile, transferable, non-fixed. This article introduces a category of „nomadic heritage” as a form of future heritage, generated by anthropogenic changes and critical approach towards digitization of heritage.

Makro İktisadi Denge Tartışmalarındaki Üretim, Nüfus ve Doğa İlişkisinin Biyomerkezci ve Toplumsal Temelli Ekolojik Tartışmalara Yansıması

Author(s): Ferda Uzunyayla / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2020

While the effect of the relationship between production, population and nature on the economic balance is discussed in terms of “steady state” with a pessimistic point of view in the analysis of classical economists, it is studied with an optimistic perspective by neoclassical economists that the natural resource constraints will not create any obstacles to growth because of the substitution effect and technological innovations. However, this type of economic analysis has been criticized because it deals with natural resources for production and growth and thusly has a human-centric perspective. The aim of this study is to examine how these economic debates are surveyed in ecological approaches. In this context, how the two prominent ecological approaches, Deep Ecology and Social Ecology examine the issue of production and population, and what is the difference in their analysis will be discussed within the scope of the study.

Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Farkındalığı ve Çevresel Duyarlılık Üzerine Bir Durum Çalışması: Uluslararası Kıbrıs Üniversitesi

Author(s): Doğa Kavaz,Hüseyin Öztoprak / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 97-1/2019

Higher education institutions are an important variable in ensuring environmental sustainability in university campuses. The proposed researched on campus sustainability aims to contribute to the goal of yielding qualitative and result oriented university graduates in the context of Cyprus International University. This study examined the students' level of awareness in the science and technology building of the Cyprus International University in relation to the principles of a sustainable campus. In this study, a 24-question questionnaire was developed. In this study, it has been examined whether some students' personal characteristics (gender, program and class) continue to make a difference in their views on sustainability components such as curriculum and research, campus operations and community participation. The survey was designed according to quantitative relational screening model. For the validity of the questionnaire, expert opinion was obtained and reliability studies were performed and data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0 program. Drawing from the results, it should be noted that even while students are concerned about the campus sustainability and corresponding environmental benefits, there seems to be less awareness in the area of transports, energy and water conservations on the campus. Furtermore, students mentioned that their cirruculum and student projects curricula have very little attention to sustainability. However, in order to promote the sustainability role on campuses, students are seen as key stakeholders in achieving this perception and goal. To achieve this goal students should be encouraged to incorporate the role of sustainability and other socially related issues. This study is important as it is a starting point for producing comprehensive goals and strategies for the campus sustainability of the Cyprus International University.

Author(s): Evrim ŞENCAN GÜRTUNCA / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 9/2020

In this paper, the number and cost of fires which erupted in İstanbul at 1908 has been analysed according to the information given in the newspaper Le Moniteur Oriental which was published in French between 1884 and 1915. Aim of this paper is witnessing the events in the light of that periods; most important mass medium, while combining the geographical significance of İstanbul and historical significance of year 1908. 1908 is a significant year because constitutional monarchy was declared and İstanbul is a significant city for that period because of being a cosmopolite capital. To gather information, all year 1908 issues of the newspaper (299 issues in total) has been scanned to locate point of origins, detect causes and identify the costs of fires. To conclude, in 1908, 42 fire eruptions (39 micro and medium scale, 3 large scale) not only ruined the districts but also caused economic and demographic changes in many neighbourhoods of the Constitutional İstanbul. It’s been noticed that, large scale fires erupted especially in crowded and more cosmopolite districts. It’s also been noticed that, after the proclamation of constitution in July, there was an increase in arson attempts and press mentioned the possibility of involvement by people who oppose the current regime.

Empire of Signals: Techno-Ecology without Nature in Japan

Author(s): Mitsuhiro Hayashi / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Along with the development of technology undermining the traditional notion of humanity in Judeo-Christianity, a variety of debates on beyond-human phenomena have emerged since the late 20th century. However, without waiting for these debates, outside of the West, similar phenomena have occurred even before the late 20th century. This paper will explore the non-representational forces of human-technology relations in Japan, focusing on the transition of the technological environment from the 1960s to the 1990s. An affective continuum between humans and natural or artificial things, including modern technology in the 1960s, was formed through material interfaces. However, in the 1990s, when electronic technology began to be used to control sensory signals in detail, the equilibrium of representational and non-representational forces became unstable. The paper illustrates an alternate type of humanity-centered limitation which would help to relativize the dominant Western context.

Hogweed vs. Sunroot: Zoēmachy of Soviet Postanthropocentrism

Author(s): Ekaterina Nikitina / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

The article addresses the issues of vegetal subjectivity, sexuality and corporeality in the context of soviet postanthropocentrism and critical posthumanism. The narrative focuses on the figure of hogweed which in Soviet times was designed to rebalance the post-war economy on a par with humans, but today has become an embodiment of trauma, a toxic monster to be destroyed. Referring to the negative consequences of soviet postanthropocentrism, flourished in the 1920s, in particular to the notion of political interpellation of the non-human and dehumanization of the human, the author considers today’s ferality of post-soviet territories as a special form of the sympoetic co-existence. Such kind of sympoesis of humans, animals, plants and other species connected by different economic, political and biological relationships implies the question about the need for affirmative biopolitics (Roberto Esposito) which accepts life in all its strange and unusual for the human eye manifestations. Similarly, the hogweed—an alien that burst from the non-ecological zone and violated the harmonious order of flora and fauna—represents an inverted ecocriticism that refers to the dark side of ecology and there, on the dark side, searches for sources of harmonization. The hogweed entails environmental thought, and is monstrously affirmative.

Knowledge-based Agriculture in Central and Eastern European Countries' Bioeconomy

Author(s): Viktória Vásáry / Language(s): English Issue: 1 (49)/2019

The European Union’s agriculture, aquaculture, forestry and food industry see significant internal disparities in terms of research and innovation performance to the disadvantage of the CEE countries. This divide hinders the unlocking of excellence in low-performing research, development and innovation regions and the establishment of transnational cooperation for knowledge-based development, thus the appearance of specific research topics relevant to the CEE macro-region among others in Horizon 2020 work programmes. To bridge the gap the specific challenges in the sector should be faced through the lens of bioeconomy. At the same time there is no doubt that bioeconomy requires accompanying strategies and shared strategic research and innovation framework. As this framework has already been offered by the Central-Eastern European Initiative for Knowledgebased Agriculture, Aquaculture and Forestry in the Bioeconomy, i.e. by the BIOEAST Initiative, the CEE countries are provided with an opportunity to achieve further progress in sustainable growth of agriculture, aquaculture, forestry and food industry. The paper is aimed at providing a brief theoretical background on bioeconomy and related bioeconomy strategies and policies and analysing key socio-economic indicators of the ‘BIOEAST countries’ bioeconomy (Visegrad Countries, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia and Croatia). Furthermore, it interprets the results of the ‘BIOEAST Bioeconomy Capacity Building Survey’, the respondents of which were chosen randomly through personal contacts of experts (who created a judgement sample) and by snowball sampling to get further contacts. The questionnaire was sent to a small subset of the target groups – business, academic, public sector stakeholders – and the answers were examined through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The focus was set on what stakeholders think the most beneficial for the CEE macro region in developing the bioeconomy and what type of intervention they identify as necessary to overcome barriers, to manage bottlenecks. The results highlight some implications for policymakers and point out that the creation of sustainable bioeconomy requires triple-helix stakeholders to find efficient collaboration mechanisms and build synergies.

Applying plant disturbance indicators to reveal the hemeroby of soil macrofauna species

Author(s): N. V. Yorkina,S. M. Podorozhniy,L. G. Velcheva,Y. V. Honcharenko,O. V. Zhukov / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

Hemeroby is an integrated indicator for measuring human impacts on environmental systems. Hemeroby has a complex nature and a variety of mechanisms to affect ecosystems. Hemeroby is often used to assess disturbances in different vegetation types but this concept has seldom been evaluated for animals. The role of the hemeroby gradient in structuring the soil macrofauna community was investigated. The experimental polygon was located in Botanical Garden of the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (Dnipro City, Ukraine). There were 20 sites within the polygon. On each of them at 105 points samples of soil macrofauna were taken, soil penetration resistance, electrical conductivity of soil, depth of litter, height of grasses were measured. Within each site, a description of the vegetation cover was made. Based on the description of the vegetation, an indication of the level of ecosystem hemeroby within the polygons was conducted. In total, 48,457 invertebrate (Annelida, Arthropoda, and Mollusca) individuals of 6 classes, 13 orders, 50 families and 83 species or parataxonomic units were recorded. Phytoindication reveals that the level of hemeroby within the studied polygons varies from 34.9 to 67.2. The model V and VI from the HOFJO-list were the most optimal model of the species response to hemeroby gradient. The weighted average factor value was used to assess the optimal factor level for the species in a symmetrical bell-shaped response model. The optimal factor level of the hemeroby for the soil macrofauna species ranges from 34.9 to 66.0. Species also differ in degree of specialization to the factor of hemeroby. There was a regular change in the soil macrofauna community size and diversity in the hemeroby gradient. The limiting influence of anthropogenic transformation of the environment on the abundance of soil macrofauna community is clearly marked at the level of hemeroby above average. Species diversity of the community is greatest at moderate hemeroby level. Both relatively little transformed habitats and strongly transformed ones are characterized by lower species richness of the soil macrofauna community. The Shannon index shows a clear upward trend with increasing hemeroby. The Pielou index indicates that the main reason for this trend is an increase in community evenness with increasing hemeroby. The intermediate disturbance hypothesis was fully supported with respect to species richness. For the number of species, there is indeed a certain level of heterogeneity at which the number of species is highest. For another aspect of diversity, evenness, this pattern is not true. The evenness increases with increasing habitat disturbance. This result is due to a decrease in the abundance of dominant species.

Ecological-climatic characteristics of the flora of a floodplain landscape in Southeastern Europe

Author(s): B. A. Baranovski,L. Karmyzova,N. O. Roshchyna,I. Ivanko,O. G. Karas / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Floodplain ecosystems take on the role of active areas of biodiversity and provide many “ecosystem services”, as evidenced by a number of European scientific references. A biodiversity analysis of river floodplains in six European countries within the temperate zone has shown that the floodplains are habitats with a high-level of structural and functional dynamics. The level of their conservation reflects the floristic diversity of forest territories, which is especially important for subarid areas. Recently, a comparison of bioecological characteristics of flora in floodplain forest areas and treeless territories was conducted on the floodplain landscapes of a subarid region of Europe. The valley-terraced landscape of the Samara River, a tributary of the Dnieper can serve as a reference site of native plant complexes of subarid territory in Eastern Europe. Despite long-term anthropogenic transformation, the landscape has retained a significant phytodiversity level. The flora of the Samara River area includes 887 plant species. Of these, 177 species belonging to the rare and endangered categories. The floodplain landscape is the richest in species and most diverse part of this complex. The flora of the Samara floodplain includes 728 species (including 132 rare ones), of which 631 grow in forest communities, and 487 – in anthropogenically transformed, treeless floodplain areas. As part of the forest flora, the number of tree and shrubby species, scyophytes, hygrophytes, and megatrophs significantly increases compared to treeless sites, and the number of ruderal plant species decreases. The floristic composition of the floodplain forests of the subarid region is much richer and more diverse than the flora of the treeless floodplain areas, and this should encourage measures for their protection and restoration. Afforestation of floodplain territories within the steppe zone of Ukraine should be a priority in comparison with other landscapes. For the protection of the flora studied, a scientific justification for creating the National Park "Samara Bor" was prepared. Under the conditions of anthropogenic and climatic impact, this article is of great global importance for attracting the attention of specialists, authorities and society to the protection and restoration of biodiversity in the most valuable landscapes.

Temperature effect on the temporal dynamic of terrestrial invertebrates in technosols formed after reclamation at a post-mining site in Ukrainian steppe drylands

Author(s): O. Y. Pakhomov,O. M. Kunakh,A.V. Babchenko,M.P. Fedushko,N. I. Demchuk,L.S. Bezuhla,O. S. Tkachenko / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

The research was carried out at the Research Centre of the Dnipro State Agrarian and Economic University in Pokrov city. Sampling was carried out in 2013–2015 on a variant of artificial soil (technosols) formed on loess-like loam, red-brown clay, green-grey clay, technological mixture of rocks, and also formed on loess-like loam with a humus-rich 70 cm top soil layer. To investigate the spatiotemporal variation in the abundance, species richness and species composition of invertebrate assemblages within the experimental polygon, the animals were sampled using pitfall traps. In total, 60 pitfall traps were operated simultaneously during each sampling period. Each year the pitfalls were emptied 26 times every 7–9 days. Invertebrates (Arthropoda and Mollusca) of 6 classes, 13 orders, 50 families and 202 species or parataxonomic units were recorded. Diplopoda was most abundant taxonomic group, though it was represented by only one species Rossiulus kessleri (Lohmander, 1927). Coleoptera and Araneae were the most numerous taxonomic groups. Readily available water for plants, precipitation, wind speed, atmospheric temperature (daily minimum, daily maximum, daily mean), atmospheric humidity and atmospheric pressure were used as environmental predictors. Two dimension geographic coordinates of the sampling locations were used to generate a set of orthogonal eigenvector-based spatial variables. Time series of sampling dates were used to generate a set of orthogonal eigenvector-based temporal variables. The moisture content in the technosols was revealed to be the most important factor determining the temporal dynamics of the terrestrial invertebrate community in conditions of semi-arid climate and the ecosystem which formed as a result of the reclamation process. Following soil moisture, the factor most strongly affecting invertebrates in the technosols was temperature. From the total set of the invertebrates, two relatively homogeneous species groups in terms of thermal preferences were extracted: the microtemperature and mesotemperature groups. The microtemperature species are more tolerant to the thermal factor, and the mesotemperature species are more sensitive. The Huisman-OlffFresco approach expanded by Jansen-Oksanen provides a wide set of ecologically relevant models which are able to explain species response. The species response to temperature is affected by a complex of other environmental, temporal and spatial factors. The effect of other factors on the species response must be previously extracted to find real estimations of the species temperature optima and tolerance. The approaches to solving this problem may be the object of future investigation.

ЕТНОЛОГІЧНА КОНЦЕПЦІЯ «ЕКОЛОГІЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ» У КОНТЕКСТІ ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ СИСТЕМИ «ДОБРИХ СПРАВ» (НА ОСНОВІ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ОДЕСЬКОЇ СТАНИЦІ НСОУ «ПЛАСТ»)

Author(s): Taras Pereginchuk / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 30/2019

This article deals with the topical topic «Ethnological concept of «ecological education» in the context of the pedagogical system of «good deeds» based on the activity of the Odessa stanitsa of the National Scout Organization of Ukraine «Plast». The article combines basic knowledge of history, ecology, ethnology, biology and ethno-pedagogics. The main idea of the research is that modern public organizations can carry out mass education and upbringing of all categories of the population, which is based on the combination of ecological knowledge with practical nature conservation and research work. The purpose of the article is to review the ethnological concept of «ecological education» and to analyze the peculiarities of ecological problems in the Odessa region, attempts to involve public children's communities in their solution. The task of this work is to investigate the ethno-pedagogical principles of the activity of the National Scout Organization of Ukraine «Plast», the main methods of raising children as a complex system of personality improvement. The findings are confirmed by the results of our own field studies. The analysis of the pedagogical works of Grigory Vashchenko, Konstantin Ushinsky, Vasyl Sukhomlinsky allows the author to trace the interpretation of the thesis of «good citizen» in Ukrainian pedagogical thought and the modern transformation of this concept into ecological civic education abroad, because, if a person helps others, protects and cleanses natural locations, it corresponds to the moral qualities of a «good citizen».
