Author(s): Ala Movileanu,Constantin Patrascu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 5/2016

The sociological research campaign from Fundu Moldovei locality was developed in 1928 by Professor Dimitrie Gusti and it was by far one of the best activities of the Sociology Seminar of Bucharest University. The research had a multi‑disciplinary character and lasted 30 days gathering 60 researchers from all domains: anthropology, economy, musicology, fine arts, architecture, choreography, geography, medicine etc. There was a great period for monographic ideas to revive. In Fundu Moldovei locality was organized the first sociological exhibition that brought Romania the golden medal into an international exhibition at Barcelona. After that the idea of creating a sociological museum came out (an idea for the future village museum) and also was created The Association of monographs. During the research was collected a great amount of sociological materials: personal records, photographs, etc. Part of the collected materials was published in books and magazines.

Collection of Road Toll in Southwestern Slovakia in the Middle Ages on the Basis of Written Sources

Author(s): Peter Ivanič / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2019

Road toll research is one of the marginal topics of Slovak historiography. Toll fees included both a "dry" toll paid for roads and a bridge ("water") toll paid next to fords, on the bridges, ferries and in the ports. Fees were originally part of the Royal Regal Right. This paper deals with the issue of road tolls collected in the southwestern Slovakia, were several important roads were situated in the Middle Ages. Based on the preserved written sources, the author managed to document a dense network of toll stations in the examined area. Most of them are documented in written sources only in the 14th and 15th century. One can assume that some of them existed in the older period. The amount of the fee is mentioned only in few cases. Several major toll stations (e.g. in Starý Tekov) were claimed by several owners and the documents testify long-standing disputes.

CONTEMPORARY YOUTH GROUP CULTURES IN A TOWN IN WESTERN HUNGARY

Author(s): Magda SZAPU / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/2003

The choice of the theme is interdisciplinary, drawing on the findings not only of ethnography and anthropology but also of sociology and musicology and offering new results for these disciplines. The researcher strives for a multidisciplinary approach and methodological diversity, focusing on questions which have not yet been studied or only to a very limited extent. The theme examined: how youth create their own culture and the micro world of their own group cultures based on music. She examines the values that prevail and the extent to which groups are distinct from each other and the previous generation. Both members of the age group and specialists dealing with youth (DJ, youth organiser) are interviewed. In contrast with the notion of “subculture” widely used in the social sciences, the author examines youth culture as group cultures equal in value, existing side by side and in the same time frame. The age group surveyed comprised 500 third- and fourth year secondary school students. Research methods: interviews, representative questionnaires; on the-spot observations. Group cultures analyzed: rocker, alternative, punk, skinhead, rapper, disco, raver, house. Structure: short outline of music and social history, presentation of the groups concerned, typological comparisons.

Cultural Heritage as a Part of Cultural Potential (in the Context of Revitalization of Ethnic Minorities)

Author(s): Ladislav Lenovský / Language(s): English / Issue: 19/2019

Cultural heritage is considered to be a valuable and representative part of the culture derived from the past. Cultural potential is a set of cultural phenomena, elements and complexes used or usable for profit. It consists of five components: heritage; organizations and institutions; events and products; infrastructure; human resources. Cultural mapping is being used for its identification, where the elements of cultural potential are cultural resources. The mapping of cultural potential with an emphasis on cultural heritage is a prerequisite for the success of revitalization of the nearly extinct ethnic group of German woodcutters from the Small-Carpathian region – Huncokars.

Czynniki peryferyzacji i aktywizacji regionów transgranicznych z udziałem Ukrainy — próba ujęcia typologicznego

Author(s): Bohdana Korop,Andrzej Miszczuk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 10/2018

The aim of the research described in the article is to develop a typology of cross-border regions of Ukraine based on the identification and synthetic analysis of the peripheralisation factors and the activation of their development, using a point bonitation method. The research covered border regions of Ukraine and seven neighbouring countries forming administrative units at the NUTS 2 level, located along the land border. The data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Statistics Poland, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, the National Institute of Statistics of Romania, the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova and the Federal State Statistics Service of Russian Federation for the years 2013—2015 (depending on the country) were used. Geopolitical, institutional and socio-economic determinants as well as the possibilities of activation of the Ukrainian border regions with neighbouring countries through the implementation of joint strategic documents and the availability of external financial resources were evaluated. The final effect of the conducted research is a synthetic multi-feature typology of the cross-border regions of Ukraine, showing the possibilities for the development of effective cross-border cooperation. In the remaining Ukrainian borderlands, the situation is better in the case of cooperation with the EU countries, and worse in the case of the post-Soviet countries.

DER SAKRALE RAUM EINES WALLFAHRTSORTES UND SEINE OBJEKTE: MARIA-RADNA

Author(s): Gábor Barna / Language(s): German / Issue: 1/2008

From the turn of the 17th to the 18th century Máriaradna was a place of pilgrimage for the Catholic inhabitants (Hungarians, Germans, Bulgarians and others) in a vast region of South-east Hungary. Since the First World War the area of its attraction has belonged to the territory of three countries, Hungary, Romania and Serbia. In the second half of the 19th century and before the First World War the people of settlements visiting the place of pilgrimage erected chapels, columns with sacred images, stations of the cross and statues on the hillside behind the church using concrete, a modern building material at that time. The article examines these structures. They clearly reflect the strong Franciscan influence (Saint Francis, Saint Anthony, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary), as well as the devotional trends of the previous century (Sacred Heart, Heart of Mary, Virgin Mother of Lourdes) in the religious practice of the region.

DIE BAUTEN DER WALDARBEITER IN NORDUNGARN

Author(s): Tivadar Petercsák / Language(s): German / Issue: 2/2008

The forest has always been important in the lives of those living in Northern Hungary. Apart from the foodstuffs, the fuel and the building materials it provided, the forest was also a source of work for the poorer sections of society. The woodcutters, woodcarvers, limeburners and charcoal burners spent their nights in temporary or semi-permanent huts. This study outlines the various forms such woodland structures took. The most simple type was a halfsided and barrel-roofed hut designed to provide protection against the wind and the rain. Apart from the closed winter huts the most characteristic types are the round and rectangular huts with an open hearth in the middle used by woodcutters and limeburners. In these the men were able to sleep under the protected sides of the structure surrounding the fire.

Donald Trump la Casa Albă: scurt exerciţiu de „political & strategic forecasting”, la jumătatea lunii noiembrie a anului 2016

Author(s): Florin Diaconu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 4/2016

The study is briefly exploring a flexible method aimed at exploring, with solid academic means,some of the most important already predictable (up to a certain point) geopolitically and geo-strategically significant features of the next few years in the history of the United States, in a context clearly dominated by at least three significant vectors: the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election on November 8, 2016; the limited – but increasingly larger – amount of OSINT connected to the team Trump is going to rely on, along the next few years; and some of the challenges, risks and threats the United States, a state with really massive power resources and truly global interests, is now obviously confronted with.

Author(s): Jerzy Romanowski,Grzegorz Lesiński,Marta BARDZIŃSKA / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

We investigated composition of small mammals at nine locations in the southwestern suburban zone of Warsaw (central Poland) by means of the analysis of the pellets of the Tawny owl Strix aluco. In total we recorded 611 individuals of 15 species of small mammal communities in the diet. Rodents constituted the most numerous mammalian order. Among the most abundant prey we recorded were Myodes glareolus (63 individuals = 10.3% of all mammals), Apodemus agrarius (56 individuals = 9.2%) (173), Apodemus flavicollis (54 individuals = 8.8%), Mus musculus (48 individuals = 7.9%) and Microtus arvalis (44 individuals = 7.2%). We recorded also some species rarely captured by the tawny owl: Nyctalus noctula and Mustela nivalis. Species composition of small mammals of the study area resembled city parks, with several species typical for anthropogenic landscape.

Drogowa infrastruktura liniowa Nigerii

Author(s): Tomasz Rokicki,Stanisław Bereziński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2018

The paper presents the significance and condition of road infrastructure in Nigeria. The sources of material were analyse of the literature on road infrastructure in Nigeria and the “CIA World Factbook” statistical data. The research period concerned the years 2014-2018. The descriptive, tabular, graphical methods and Pearson’s linear correlation coefficients were used to analyse and present the results of the work. It was found, that the importance of the Nigeria road network resulted from its strategic location on the African continent. A big problem was the lack of proper actions to maintain the quality of roads, which caused many accidents and limitations in the speed of vehicle movement. It was found, that in Nigeria the larger surface area of states corresponded to the greater length of roads, but their lower density. At the same time, the higher density of population in the states of Nigeria was associated with a smaller total length of roads, but with their higher density. There was no relation between the parameters of the economy in the states of Nigeria and the length and density of roads.

DRUG TRAFFICKING IN WEST AFRICA BORDERLANDS: FROM GOLD COAST TO COKE ACOST

Author(s): Collins G. Adeyanju / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Drug trafficking has become the new threat to the economic and political stability of the West Africa sub-region; by virtue of its new toga as the new transit hub for drug trafficking. 80% and 13% of seizures in cocaine transhipment annually of 60 – 250 tons to Europe and globally respectively, passes the West African maritime borderlands/coast. The informal economy based on drugs has replaces over $400 million contribution to the region’s GDP from fishing. The impacts of drug trafficking had had a long negative toll on the institutions of the states and state-building infrastructure in the region. Besides, intra-states conflicts, drug money and activities had exacerbated state failure in the region; notably in Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Guinea, etc. The West African Coast Initiative is making crawling impacts. Although, still in its pilot phase, it had enhanced coordination of intelligence in the region on drug trafficking and organized crime. However, it is still short of fundamentally addressing obvious policy gap, due to its lack of clear focus; plus, being only operational in just five West African states. This paper identified absence of comprehensive maritime coordination policy against drug trafficking in West Africa as the bane of the surge. Therefore, a tripartite approach, based on state, regional and global levels policy restructuring in the region is required.

Emil Racovita despre viata animalelor si plantelor din Antarctica

Author(s): Dumitru Murariu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 4/2015

The Belgian expedition in Antarctica (1897–1899) was organized by commander Adrien De Gerlache. Between other specialists, Gerlache included in „Belgica’s” staff the young Romanian naturalist Emil G. Racoviţă. The expedition was with many mishaps (included two died people and 13 month of vessel shutting off in the antarctic ice floe). In those conditions, Emil Racoviţă worked hardly, collected valuable biological materials (400 botanical specimens and 1200 zoological items), and observed the beings in the area. He described wonderful antarctic landscapes and studied plants and animals. In those extreme temperatures, Racoviţă discovered an impressive biodiversity, starting with marine phytoplankton and zooplankton up to the impressive whales. He observed that each species has its own behavior (movement, swimming, breath, diving), and in case of whales, they can be recognized from a distance. The scientists who studied samples collected by Racoviţă highlighted the systematical and zoogeographical value of these materials, comparing with arctic or subarctic species.
