Scientific article deals with the topic of wooden sacral architecture of Ukraine, which is the object of cultural tourism. The study of tourist resources, including cultural and historical ones, has a significant theoretical background among Ukrainian and foreign scholars. This topic is related to the study of architecture, peculiarities of construction of wooden structures, their spread in the territory of Ukraine and Ukrainian ethnic territories, which are beyond the limits of modern borders. Insights in the field of cultural heritage studies is very significant as well as the assessment of their uniqueness, geography of tourism, economic and social sciences that are related to the field of tourism. Definition of the cultural tourism, the concept of «heritage product» is related to the tourism marketing, as well as mechanisms of product management and ways of promoting cultural heritage sites for tourists attraction. This scientific article is based on the researches of experts, who study sacral architecture monuments, their classification, geography of distribution and regionalization, which are the basis for evaluating various aspects of buildings appearance. It is important to develop cultural tourism in regions, where tourist activity is in low condition. In the territory of Ukraine, there are objects of wooden church architecture that are included to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These structures are located on the territory of Ukraine and Poland. Objects of wooden sacral architecture are mainly located on the Carpathian foothills, Galicia and Polissia territory. The smallest number of these structures you can find in the south, where wooden architecture is predominantly located in the remote areas and belong to the Podilska and Naddnipryanska schools of temple building. There are some differences between the geography of extension of the objects of wooden temple building and index of domestic tourism for leisure and recreation purposes. Thus, objects of wooden architecture as sites of cultural tourism are concentrated in the western and in the northern regions of Ukraine, while the biggest amount of domestic tourists prevails in Kiev city, as well as in Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Odesa region. The main activity on the Black Sea coast is recreation, medical and wellness tourism, or medical tourism on the resorts of the South. However, areas of the north of Odesa and Kherson regions, remain presidial. Combining tours to the north of Odesa region and rest on the banks of the Southern Bug River with active types of tourism and recreation will be promising thing. Lack of marketing activities is a significant impediment for promotion of the cultural tourism product in southern Ukraine. Also, the question of upgrading the infrastructure for tourism needs: transport system, hospitality facilities, remains unsolved. This region is perspective for the development of peripheral and rural areas and is a driver of economic growth.

Em consonância a essa busca o presente trabalho objetivou-se a mapear acidentes com máquinas agrícolas sucedidos no Brasil no período de janeiro de 2013 a maio de 2016, usando técnicas de geoprocessamento para a confecção dos mapas. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de um compilado de informações de acidentes ocorridos no período. Foram desenvolvidos mapas pelo IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted), permitindo a identificação das áreas de maior e menor concentração de acidentes. Os dados analisados foram submetidos a uma verificação da dependência espacial das variáveis, pela análise geoestatística, segundo Yamamoto e Landim (2015). Os resultados demonstram uma maior concentração de acidentes na região Sul do país. As regiões Sul e Norte apresentaram médias de acidentes iguais a do território nacional. A menor média de acidentes foi na região Nordeste (1,2 acidentes/Estado). As regiões Sul, Sudeste, Centro oeste e Nordeste apresentaram como modelo efeito pepita puro (EPP), enquanto que a região Norte apresentou modelo exponencial. O uso de ferramentas de SIG mostrou-se eficiente para o mapeamento dos acidentes com tratores nas regiões brasileiras.   Palavras-chaves: Segurança, Prevenção, Georreferenciamento, Mecanização agrícola.   ACCIDENTS WITH TRACTORS IN THE BRAZILIAN REGIONS   ABSTRACT: Accidents at work in rural areas are becoming more frequent, and their identification is necessary so that preventive measures can be implemented. In line with this search, the present work aimed to map accidents with agricultural machines succeeded in Brazil from January 2013 to May 2016, using geoprocessing techniques to make maps. Data were obtained from a compilation of information on accidents occurring in the period. Maps were developed by IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted), allowing the identification of areas with the highest and lowest concentration of accidents. Os dados analisados foram submetidos a uma verificação da dependência espacial das variáveis, pela análise geoestatística, segundo Yamamoto e Landim (2015). The results show a higher concentration of accidents in the southern region of the country. The South and North regions had accident averages equal to the national territory. The lowest average of accidents was in the Northeast region (1.2 accidents / State). The South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast regions presented as pure nugget effect (EPP) model, while the North region presented exponential model. The use of GIS tools proved to be efficient for the mapping of tractor accidents in the Brazilian regions.   Keywords: safety, prevention, georeferencing, agricultural mechanization.

SummaryData from the 4172 women aged 15–49 interviewed in the 1988 Vietnamese Demographic and Health Survey were used to examine age at marriage, marriage to first birth intervals and age at first birth. Differences between urban and rural areas, northern and southern provinces and by education of the women were analysed.The majority of the women had their first birth before age 20, but women with secondary education had a significantly higher age at first birth than those with little or no education, and women from the north had a significantly higher age at first birth than women from the south. Rural women and those with little or no education married at significantly younger ages than urban women and those with secondary education; these education effects were confirmed in a rural subsample of women. Women from rural areas and from the north had significantly shorter marriage to first birth intervals than urban women and those from the south, but there were no significant effects related to education.

Architectural Characteristics

Cultural heritage sites impress the visitors by their ‘worth-to-see’ architectural characteristics and historical or cultural importance. Visitor experiences at cultural areas are also influenced by site atmospherics, and crowd, that form visitors’ overall satisfaction with the site. This study aims to examine the relationships amongst visitors’ crowding, and atmospherics perceptions, and overall satisfactions in a cultural tourism area. With this purpose, a survey was conducted at one of the most popular heritage sites of Turkey; Topkapi Palace, Istanbul. Data collected from 261 Turkish and 236 British visitors, who have seen the interior and exterior parts of the Palace. By factor analysis, atmospherics is found to have two dimensions, namely; service and spatial. Analyses results exhibit that both atmospherics dimensions positively affect visitor satisfaction, although perceived crowding has a negative impact or both nationalities. Findings of this study indicate that cultural heritage sites are the areas where domestic and foreign visitors may have similar kinds of perceptions and evaluations.

Cultural Heritage Objects

Cultural heritage is an essential component of a socio-economic complex. Cultural  heritage  topic  should  be  addressed  within  the  context  of  the  development  of  regional social and economic processes, and be based  on  principles, that allow integration  of all  available  resources  of  the  territory.  This  concept,  based  on  the  use  of  cultural  heritage as  a  structural  element  of  a  socio-economic  complex,  was  developed  on  the  example  of  the Tyumen  region.  It  was  assumed,  that  the  organizational  and  economic  basis  for  the  use  of heritage  was  a  cultural  framework,  that  could  form  the  basis  of  a  new  strategic  direction for the development of both historical cities and small rural settlements.Within  the  framework  of  the  project,  practical  research  works  were  carried  out  to identify  cultural  heritage  objects  in  all  districts  and  urban  territories  of  the  south  of  the Tyumen  region.  About  150  settlements  were  examined  in  detail,  with  the  fixation  of  architectural  buildings  and  structures,  that  have  signs  of  cultural  heritage  objects.  Design  proposals have been developed for the use of existing and newly identified heritage sites, in order  to  form  the  cultural  and  landscape  environment  of  historical  settlements,  the  development  of  museum,  cultural,  educational  and  tourist  activities.  Proposals  have  been  formulated  for  the  socio-economic  development  of  urban  settlements  and  municipal  rural  areas, based  on  the  identified  potential  of  cultural  heritage.  As  an  example  of  how  the  use  of  cultural heritage and cultural practices can affect the life  of a  particular historical  settlement, design  developments  for  the  village  of  Usalka  in  the  Yarkovsky  district  are  given.  This branch work within the Tyumen Industrial University may become the basis for creation of its own scientific school for the preservation and use of cultural heritage objects, for the development of a methodology for integrating heritage into modern economic reality.

AbstractThis paper analyses extreme precipitation characteristics of Turkey based on selected WMO climate change indices. The indices – monthly total rainy days (RDays); monthly maximum 1-day precipitation (Rx1day); simple precipitation intensity index (SDII); and monthly count of days when total precipitation (represented by PRCP) exceeds 10 mm (R10mm) – were calculated for 98 stations for the 38-year overlapping period (1975–2012). Cluster analysis was applied to evaluate the spatial characterisation of the annual precipitation extremes. Four extreme precipitation clusters were detected. Cluster 1 corresponds spatially to Central and Eastern Anatolia and is identified with the lowest values of the indices, except rainy days. Cluster 2 is concentrated mainly on the west and south of Anatolia, and especially the coastal zone, and can be characterised with the lowest rainy days, and high and moderate values of other indices. These two clusters are the most prominent classes throughout the country, and include a total of 82 stations. Cluster 3 is clearly located in the Black Sea coastal zone in the north, and has high and moderate index values. Two stations on the north-east coast of the Black Sea region are identified as Cluster 4, which exhibits the highest values among all indices. The overall results reveal that winter months and October have the highest proportion of precipitation extremes in Turkey. The north-east part of the Black Sea region and Mediterranean coastal area from the south-west to the south-east are prone to frequent extreme precipitation events.

AbstractAccurate and up-to-date provincial and regional-level stroke prevalence estimates are important for research planning and targeted strategies for stroke prevention and management. However, recent and comprehensive evaluation is lacking over the past 30 years in China. This study aimed to examine the geographical variations in stroke prevalence based on data from the National Epidemiological Survey of Stroke in China (NESS-China) and demonstrate urban-rural transition and trend over three decades. The stroke prevalence (prevalence day, August 31, 2013) was estimated using the world standard population. The stroke prevalence was 873.4 per 100,000 population, and varied from 218.0 in Sichuan to 1768.9 in Heilongjiang. Stroke prevalence exhibited a noticeable north-south gradient (1097.1, 917.7, and 619.4 in the north, middle, and the south, respectively; P < 0.001) and showed a 2.0-fold, 1.5-fold, and 1.2-fold increase in rural areas in the north, the middle, and the south, respectively, from 1985 to 2013. Overall, stroke prevalence was higher in the rural regions than in the urban (945.4 versus 797.5, P < 0.001) regions. However, the converse was depicted in 12 provinces. A noticeable geographical variation in stroke prevalence was observed and was evolving overtime in China. It is imperative that effective public health policies and interventions be implemented, especially in those regions with higher prevalence.

Both in developing countries in the South and developed countries in the North a large portion of pupils from each cohort drop out or, maybe more correctly described, are pushed out of school each year. In the South, there is also a considerable portion of school-aged children who do not attend school at all. The article examines selected data collected from ethnographic interviews, during a Norwegian ongoing longitudinal project, and a survey in Tanzania, and other developing countries. We ask the questions: What are the reasons for this situation? Are the reasons the same in the South as in the North? In this article examples will be given from a country in the North, Norway and a country in the South, Tanzania. What do we know about the reasons for dropping out of school in these two countries? Who are the children dropping out? From which social class do they come? Are they from urban or rural areas? Were there more boys or more girls? What happens to the children after they drop out of school? How much is the school itself to blame for the situation? How relevant is what is learnt in school to the life children lead and their job prospects? What could have been done differently in order to retain children in school in the South, exemplified by Tanzania, and the North exemplified by Norway?

Abstract BACKGROUND High Maternal Mortality (MM) in Nigeria is further complicated by the lack of reliable estimates for subnational levels such as states and geopolitical regions. Disaggregating maternal mortality estimates by subnational levels is crucial to ensuring policy decisions and program implementation are adapted to areas with a high burden of mortality. This study involves a novel adaptation of small area estimation techniques to derive plausible estimates of levels and trends in Maternal Mortality rates and ratios for states and geopolitical regions in Nigeria. METHODS. Survivorship history data of 293,769 female siblings were provided by 114,154 women in the Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys of 2008, 2013 and 2018. MM Rates and Ratios were estimated using the Empirical Bayesian technique for small area demographic estimates. The James-Stein estimator was used to shrink the estimates closer to the population mean values with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). RESULTS Levels of MMRatio were highest in the rural areas, States and regions in Northern Nigeria. MMRatio was consistently lower in the South West (2008=281; 2013=367; 2018=392) and higher among the Northern regions of the country, particularly the North-East (2008=654; 2013=612; 2018=901) for three consecutive surveys. Over the three surveys, mortality trends declined about 18% in the North West and 54.2% in the South East region. However, there was a 4.8% increase in MMRatio for South West between 2008 to 2018. CONCLUSIONS Nigeria has geopolitical and sub-national disparities that pose a burden to the country’s maternal health. Since several states in the Northern geopolitical zone still show high maternal mortality, targeted intervention at state levels should be explored to ensure that mothers who need help get it to ensure the sustainable development goals are met.
