Pan-European Corridor V that passes through the territory of the Republic of Croatia, i.e. Branches VB (Rijeka-Zagreb-Budapest) i VC (Budapest-Osijek-Sarajevo-Ploče) are of extreme importance for the traffic and economic system of the Republic of Croatia and the wider European area. Taking this into consideration, this study has analysed the relevant indicators of the traffic growth, structure and dynamics of the cargo flows on the Branches VB and VC of the Pan-European Corridor V. The cargo flows, as important elements of the traffic demand have been analysed regarding the presence of competition of alternative North-Adriatic and North-European traffic routes as important element of competitive environment in fighting to attract valuable transit market of Central Europe. Based on a detailed analysis of concrete statistical data, significant conclusions are derived about: quantity, dynamics and structure of the cargo flows, current traffic demand, competitiveness of corridors on Central European transit market, expected traffic demand, and conclusions about factors and circumstances that would positively, i.e. negatively affect the growth of cargo flows, and thus also the valorisation of the analysed Branches VB and VC of the Pan-European Corridor V within the European environment. KEY WORDS: Pan-European Corridor V, branches VB and VC, cargo flows, intensity, structure, dynamics, traffic demand

Typological Classification

The article presents a representative selection of a nearly hundred of the oldest maps of Central Europe which were influencing the development of map representation of Czech countries and mostly have not yet been published in Czech literature. Geographical content of map representation of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia in maps of the Central European area is as informative as in separate maps of these territories. Cartographical information does not end on the other side of our border, but it links to representation of neighbouring countries and stresses political, religious, communication, linguistic and other connections and particularities as well. The selection is based on typographical classification (into ten groups) of printed maps of the Central European area of German, Italian, Dutch and French origin dating from the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 17th century. Its knowledge is necessary to determine genealogy of Central European and regional maps from the period approximately till 1650.

The essence of the green roof is vegetation and its positive health and aesthetic effects on humans. They can, however, only be achieved, if the vegetation is really functional. In climatic conditions of Central Europe with four seasons of the same length, approximately, with cold winters and relatively warm, and often dry, summers are plants in artificial conditions, for which the vegetation of the roof can be considered, subject to extreme temperature variations. Even plants typical for central European area that thrive in this environment can be difficult to survive. In contrast to the plants rooted in the usual field, the temperature of which oscillates during the year at a depth of one meter under the surface between 0° and approx. 16° Celsius, i.e. in the range of approx. 16 Kelvin, the roots of vegetation planted on roofs are exposed to a much wider temperature range. The study to be presented describes an example of a typical roof with extensive greenery and shows the temperature course in substrate of the roof vegetation during a typical winter and summer day and compares it to the temperature course at the same depth below the field surface. It also provides methods that can solve this problem, from the selection of suitable plant species through year-round care, e.g. using summer irrigation and winter protection, up to artificial creation of a constant temperature of natural substrate with heated / cooled ceilings under the roof.

The aim of this study is to give an overview of conference facilities in three capital cities in the Central European area, along the Danube, analyse and compare their possibilities and venues. The utilized data within the study was collected from different sources, like websites of the Hungarian, Slovakian and Austrian Convention Bureaus, books dealing with convention and event management and statistics, ICCA publications. Budapest is highly ranked between cities transacting conferences for years. There are 146 different conference facilities with a total capacity for 114.000 participants. The 7 conference centres and all four- and five-star hotels suit all requirements of the different professional organizations. Budapest hosted many megaconferences; out of these the ASTA yearly session and the vein-surgery conference can be excelled. From the conference capacity of Budapest only one conference facility is missing which could host more than 5.000 participants. After analysing the conference capacities of the three Danube-band capitals – Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava, – it can be seen what kind of similarities and differences are characterizing the cities. At the end of this study the writer makes recommendations for the place of the mega-conference centre, the development of a modern and up-to-date conference database, as well as for the cooperation of the three capitals in connection with managing mega-conferences.

Three populations of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, established in streams and reservoirs in the Jizersk? Mountains, Czech Republic, were studied between 1995 and 2006. The maximum age was usually 3+ to 4+, but the age 7+ was also recorded. The inflows of all reservoirs are populated mostly by 0+ to 2+ brook trout, while older specimens live in a lentic environment, migrating to lotic habitats only to spawn. The density of brook trout in streams ranged from 8 to 95 individuals per 100 m2 during spring and summer, while that for reservoirs ranged between 31 and 290 individuals per ha. A strong negative correlation between the size of adult fish and population density in reservoirs was observed. The type of management influenced both density and growth of brook trout. Further introduction of this species in the central European area should be restricted to habitats where native salmonids cannot survive, such as acidified waters.
