Author(s): Mehmet Fatih Karagül / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: Special/2017

The beauty that has been tried to be addressed with such fields as mathematics, architecture, geometry has been among the subjects of philosophers since antiquity. Although the concept of beauty varies according to the periods, beauty is in fact related to the conception of the people. According to Aristotle, the values we can grasp will be beautiful, otherwise considered as non-aesthetic. Although 144 there is not a formula of the ideal beauty, the concept of beauty changes in an abstract and concrete way, according to the persons who monitoring. Throughout the ages, we can see that the Anatolian coasts have been governed by different civilizations and are a source of rich cultural composition. With its strategic and geopolitical importance, Çanakkale shores also witnessed a significant part of this process. Foreign powers always want to possess these lands and the beauty of the richness of these lands. The word "Hellespont" is one of the names used throughout the history of the Dardanelles. Hellespont is a local value for Çanakkale as geographical environment, cultural wealth and sense of meaning. A series of thematic works on using Hellespont as inspiration in designs will be addressed in this notice.

A CSÁSZÁRKULTUSZ FŐOLTÁRA PANNONIA SUPERIORBAN

Author(s): Endre Tóth / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1-2/2001

In den Provinzen an der mittleren Donau kommt Savaria eine besondere Stellung zu, weil wir seit langem wissen, daß dort die Institution der Kaiserkultes in Pannonia Superior errichtet wurde. In anderen Provinzen ist der Sitz der Institution nur zu vermuten. In Savaria kennen wir auch den Ort des Kultzentrums innerhalb der Struktur der colonia. Aus der Untersuchung der Inschriften der Priester des Kaiserkults in der Studie stellt sich heraus: der sacerdos arae Augustorum Pannonia superioris wird der Bürger gewesen sein, der mindestens in der Stadt duumvir oder in zwei Städten decurio war. Aufgrund der die colonia Savaria umgebenden Gräberfelder und kultischen Funde sowie der Fundstelle von Inschriften im Zusammenhang mit dem Kaiserkult konnte in der Stadtstruktur der Ort des Provinzialforums bestimmt werden. Von Norden, Süden und Osten umgeben Bestattungen die colonia. Im Westen wird die Stadt vom Savaria- (heute: Perint-) Bach begrenzt. In dem großen Gebiet zwischen dem Bach und den Hügeln im Westen gibt es keine Bestattungen. Am W-Rand dieses etwa 500×300 m großen Gebiets stand das Theater, das ebenfalls ein unausbleibliches Gebäude der Provinzialforen war. In diesem Gebiet fanden sich die Inschriften, die den Ort des Kaiserkults beweisen, und dort befanden sich auch die sakralen Denkmäler, die mit der sakralen Bestimmung des Gebietes in Zusammenhang zu bringen sind. Am O-Ende des Provinzialforums wurden 39 Pfeiler gefunden.

A CULTURAL APPROACH TO EARTHQUAKE COPING STRATEGIES: EXAMPLES OF TURKISH FOLK POEMS AND MEMORATES

Author(s): Hülya Çevirme / Language(s): English / Issue: 31/2020

The aim of this study is to ensure that the cultural dimension discussed among the strategies to cope with the earthquake and to propose the use of this cultural dimension in earthquake education. The documents of the study consist of Turkish folk poems and memorates. In the study, document analysis method, one of the qualitative data collection methods, was used; the data were interpreted with information obtained from descriptive analysis. As a result of the research, it has been observed that Turkish folk poems and memorates have supernatural, mystical, traditional beliefs and thoughts about earthquake. The positive cultural dimension related to the earthquake that is folk poems and in memorates is that unity and solidarity and glorify of the solidarity tradition. On the other hand, the negative cultural dimension is the belief that the earthquake is a punishment due to people violated the religion, tradition and custom. In addition, the social and political disintegrations that occurred during the earthquake were also interpreted as a negative cultural dimension. From this point of view, it is suggested that the cultural dimension of the earthquake is considered as an additional strategy in addition to the known coping strategies and is defined “cultural memory strategy”.

A diversity-based approach to the spatial development of socio-ecological systems

Author(s): Alexandru-Ionuţ Petrişor / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Although the concepts of sustainability and resilience have been in place for many years, their meaning and interpretations continues to be a subject of controversies, impeding their practical implementation. The spatial interpretation and consequences of the policies drawn on these concepts, despite the theoretical issues related to them, are of particular interest. This article is a critical comprehensive review carried out in order to emphasize the uncertainties. The article analyzes the human development in relationship to its spatial consequences and relationship with diversity (inner, environmental and overall), focusing on the concepts governing spatial development. The results show that policies are being developed upon unclear concepts, while the human pressure on the environment increases and affects the global sustainability and resilience.

A FELSŐZSOLCAI FÖLDVÁR ÉS KÖRNYEZETÉNEK TÉRINFORMATIKAI REKONSTRUKCIÓJA

Author(s): Mária Wolf / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1-2/2002

Die Rauminformatik, die noch sehr junge Wissenschaft der ortsgebundenen Informationen, gibt es erst seit etwa dreißig Jahren. In Ungarn erschien sie in den 1980er bis 1990er Jahren und stieß sehr bald auf das Interesse der Gesellschaftswissenschaften, somit auch auf das der Archäologie. Bedenkt man, daß der überwiegende Teil der mit archäologischen Methoden zu sammelnden Informationen ortsgebunden ist, ist daran nichts Sonderbares. Ilona Valter war die erste, die bei der Untersuchung der Siedlungsgeschichte des Bodrogköz unseren derzeitigen Begriffen gemäß Rauminformatik „betrieben”, eine Umgebungsrekonstruktion angefertigt hat. Zur Zeit laufen in Ungarn mehrere Versuche, die Rauminformatik in der Archäologie anzuwenden. Ich selbst habe den Versuch unternommen, die Ergebnisse einer konkreten Ausgrabung mit Methoden der Rauminformatik und einem sich ihnen eng anschließenden Datengewinnungsverfahren, der Entfernungswahrnehmung, aufzuarbeiten. Mit Hilfe der systemimmanenten Analysemöglichkeiten erhoffte ich eine bessere Auswertung der bereits aufgetauchten Funde und Objekte sowie eine genauere Bestimmung dessen, in welchen Richtungen künftig weiterzuforschen sei. Beim Beginn meiner Arbeit standen mir die Ausgrabungsergebnisse der Jahre 1992–95 sowie eine Luftaufnahme von 1990 zur Verfügung, die unsere Forschungen im Jahre 1995 determinierte. Der als Felsőzsolca-Várdomb registrierte Fundort liegt an der Straße Miskolc-Szerencs, 200 m westlich der Abzweigung nach Arnót (Abb. 1). Der Hügel wurde bei der Verlegung einer Gasleitung gestört. Danach führten wir eine Fundrettung in diesem Gebiet durch, die etwa 1000 m2 umfaßte. Dabei wurden Siedlungsobjekte aus fünf Epochen (Neolithikum, Bronzezeit, Kaiserzeit, Früh- und Spätawarenzeit) gefunden.

Author(s): Nicu Ciobotaru,Theodor Lupei,Lucian Laslo,Monica Matei,Mădălina Boboc,Ana Maria Velcea,Gyorgy Deak / Language(s): English / Issue: 23/2017

Tourism suitability refers to a certain touristic potential development regarding an area; considering the natural environment resources; the existing infrastructure and the number of tourists that visit the area for a certain amount of time. Tourism suitability also indicates how tourism resources can be exploited in a given area. To determine tourism suitability of the wetlands a set of spatial and statistical data with various sources were used. In the purpose of creating a set of maps that can reflect the level of tourism suitability; there were used spatial and statistical data for every locality that has a wetland nearby; data such as: localities and wetland placement; transportation network; bird; fish and amphibian species distribution; accommodation; inhabitants; tourists. The results of the analysis offered a series of indicators for tourism activities such as wetland suitability per locality.

A GIS Based Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources in Romania and Its Impact on Isolated Areas

Author(s): Casiana Marcu,Cristina Catita,Loredana Crengăniș,Florian Stătescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 20/2016

Taking into account the significant potential of renewable energy sources in Romania, it is reasonable to use it in order to develop Romanian cities and rural regions. There are some current technologies that may be applied to rural sustainable development, such as new-generation photovoltaic panels and systems of passive heating of water.This paper presents an application of Analytic Hierarchy Process for selection of renewable energy sources and technology in context of Central Region of Romania. The option – solar energy have been evaluated based on selected criteria. The objective of our working paper is to analyze the renewable energy development policy in isolated areas of Romania. Renewable sources of energy play an important part in the sustainable supply of energy and in the sustainable economic and social development.Using a GIS model, the aim is to demonstrate which of the analyzed sources of energy is the most convenient to be used in a sustainable system, solar or electric network.

A Multi-Planet Species: Ethical and Environmental Impacts of Privatized Space Travel

Author(s): Natalie Pierson / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

This paper examines private exploration and colonization of space, inspired by the growing interest and advancements in developing space by private industries, notably SpaceX. Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation and David Harvey’s theory of “spatial fix” provide a framework from which to understand why billionaires are attracted to the business of space. Matters of legality are considered in the regulation of space including treaties, their applications, and the unforeseen gaps in the law left by unanticipated private sector growth. Economic feasibility is discussed through cost and revenue estimates of possible marketable products. Environmental impacts, both on Mars and Earth, are reviewed regarding physical landscape and biological contamination. Finally, it explores the ethics of a developing colony in a stressful environment and seeks to unpack the term colonization in a celestial setting. This paper concludes that bringing capitalist ideals and methods into space is not a solution for problems created by capitalism on Earth. Given the concerns identified, it may well exacerbate them.

A systematic review of flukes (Trematoda) of domestic goose (Anser anser dom.)

Author(s): F. H. Rzayev / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

Trematodes are one of the most numerous and widespread groups of parasitic invertebrates among helminths, characterized by a complex life cycle. As the final host, digenetic flukes parasitize vertebrates, including domestic waterfowl. Infection of hosts with parasitic digenetic worms causes huge economic damage to poultry. But trematode fauna of domestic geese are presented mainly only for individual regions. Despite the fact that there is already a systematic review of tapeworms and acanthocephala of domestic birds - geese and ducks, there are, unfortunately, no review articles on the taxonomy of digenetic flukes for geese (Anser anser dom.). Taking into account the relevance of the topic, based on our own and extensive literature data, we set the task to determine the general species composition of digenetic flukes (Trematoda), parasitizing in domestic geese which have been recorded in the world until 2020. Each Trematoda species is provided with the following data: scientific name, authority and year, first, second intermediate, auxiliary and final hosts, site in the host body, collecting localities and geographic distribution, and literature sources. Currently it is established that there are 149 species of helminths parasitising domestic geese. The taxonomic composition of the class Trematoda registered in domestic geese consists of 2 classes, 14 families, 30 genera and 65 species. Of all the species of trematodes parasitizing in domestic geese, 44 species have been recorded in Europe, 26 species in Asia, 6 species in North America, 1 species in South America, 1 species in Africa and 2 species in Oceania. Three species are registered in domestic geese (Echinoparyphium recurvatum, Echinostoma revolutum, Prosthogonimus ovatus) are cosmopolitan parasites. The biggest species diversity is characterized by the families Echinostomatidae (17 species) and Notocotylidae (12 species). There are 11 species of digenetic flukes recorded in domestic geese Cyclocoelum mutabile, Echinostoma grande, E. paraulum, E. revolutum, E. robustum, Hypoderaeum conoideum, Paryphostomum novum, P. pentalobum, Catatropis verrucosa, Notocotylus attenuatus, N. parviovatus) on the territory of Azerbaijan. Four of them (Echinostoma revolutum, Hypoderaeum conoideum, Paryphostomum novum, Notocotylus attenuatus) were also noted in the course of our helminthological studies. The trematode Cyclocoelum mutabile was recorded in domestic ducks only in Azerbaijan. Most species of trematodes were found in the north-eastern part (total 9 species) and southern part (total 5 species) of Azerbaijan. This is due to the widespread distribution of molluscs - intermediate hosts of digenetic flukes, in these regions. Eighteen species of digenetic flukes parasitize both birds and mammals (Rodentia, Carnivora, Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla). And eleven species of trematodes are of medical importance, registered in humans.

A tale of two cities:

Achieving smarter economy through communication and virtual work

Author(s): Joshua Olusegun Fayomi,Zainab Abdulqadir SANI / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2020

Seamless communication within and between cities allows for a tremendous increase in efficiencies, one of which is the way work can be done. When work no longer needs to be carried out only within the confines of the traditional office, it can then be done virtually and this research seeks to explore how communication influences the creation of smart economy through virtual work. Virtual work is increasingly becoming ideal for organizations as there is a rise in the quality and quantity of data that can be accessed and analysed from outside the traditional office. Smart city research has shown that has also shown that for cities to be have smart economies there needs to be seamless connection between points of information within such cities.This research begins with a detailed desk research to identify and outline the key indices for smart mobility and smart cities, leading to the proposal of a conceptual framework for evaluating two selected case studies through surveys within these cases. This research therefore builds on prior smart cities and virtual work research to establish a framework for evaluating and explaining the relationship between smart communication and smart economy and established the link between connectivity/communication to mobility, and further shows how the increase in connectivity increase virtual work which in turn leads to a smarter economy. The implications for the results from this research extends the ongoing work been done to increase efficiencies in the connection of infrastructure, human capital and information within cities which is useful to both academics and policy makers alike. The clear relationships established between virtual work and smart mobility and its mediating effect on the development of smart economy is very valuable for academic and practice.

A Touristic Approach of a Literary and Geographical Space: Transylvania

Author(s): Cosmin-Gabriel Porumb-Ghiurco / Language(s): English / Issue: 9/2018

StudyingTransylvania as a literary and geographical space or as a geo-literary space also involves an approach from the field of cultural tourism studies. As a geographical and historical region of Romania, Transylvania is one of the most notorious tourist destinations in the world. Its literary notoriety plays an important role in attracting tourists and building th eregion’s touristic image(ry) often considered as a social and cultural construct due to its West-East antithesis. In this paper, we study the interconnectivity between works of fiction as created cultural forms and their impact on tourism industry and consumer society. The tourist is thus perceived both as a consumer and homo ludens in the postmodern contemporary context. Therefore, the focus is on the acknowledgement that fictional is employed in the non-fictional framework so as to produce anthropic tourist attractions. In the present study, we took into account the fictional profile of Transylvania as a framework for the phenomenon of escapism, which involves the traveller-reader binomial. Thus, studying the ways and means through which the illusion of the fictional is nowadays perpetuated into these places and used to attract avid readers and cinephiles is one of the main research targets.

Accessing the Economic Value of Natural Snows in Ski Resort Using Contingent Valuation Method

Author(s): Jaewan HEO,Seungmin NAM / Language(s): English / Issue: 03(51)/2021

The purposes of this study are to estimate an individual’s probability of willingness to pay tax for preservation of the snows ski resorts in South Korea by using the CVM; and to present the effects of 4Es of the Experience economy theory in the experience economy theory. Truncated mean WTP indicates that the economic value of the natural snows of ski resort in Korea is 172 won (about 17 U.S cents) per household, which is a preservation value. Hence, in the practical perspective, policy makers are able to determine whether they should consistently develop and invest on the preparing for the climate change in the ski resort or not.

Accumulation of heavy metals in birch and pine forest roadside phytocenoses in the south of Tyumen region

Author(s): E.I. Popova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

We conducted a complex investigation of anthropogenic roadside phytocoenoses. For the study, 8 plots (birch and pine forests) were selected, close to roads in the south of Tyumen region within the five administrative districts: Uporovsky, Zavodoukovsky, Yalutorovskiy, Yarkovsky, and Tobolsk. As a result of the studies, 75 species of vascular plants from 21 families were noted in the plant communities. It was found that the majority of the total projective cover of the plant communities was provided by synanthropic species. In the synanthropic fraction of the flora, 33 species belonging to 11 families were identified, those with the most species being: Scrophulariaceae, Compositeae, Rubiaceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Polygonaceae, Umbellíferae. The index of synanthropization of the flora of the studied phytocenoses is in the range from 43% to 64%. Among the identified pollutants accumulated in the phytocenoses, the group of heavy metals was identified (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn). Needles of Pinus sylvestris L. mainly accumulate Cr, Cu, Ni, Sr. The greatest concentration of Pb and Zn was found in the leaves of Betula pendula Roth. The content of other heavy metals in the leaves of Betula pendula Roth. during the growing season was relatively stable. Accumulation of heavy metals in the studied components of forest ecosystems can be displayed structurally: soil > leaves < phytomass (birch forests), soil < needles > phytomass (pine forests). Methodological approaches to conducting a complex of long-term observations of natural ecosystems have been formulated, substantiated and justified.
