<p>The first magmatic event that post-dates the Meso-Cretaceous orogeny in the Carpatho-Balkan area took place in the Upper Cretaceous at the same time and after the formation of Gosau-type molasses basins, the whole being controlled by an extensional tectonic transpressive-transtensive type (Schuller, 2004; Schuller et al., 2009; Drew, 2006; Georgiev et al., 2009). This tectonic regime controlled the spatial and temporal distribution of both magmatites and metallogenesis associated with the main feature discontinuity.</p><p>This aspect is suggested by gravimetry and magnetism studies (Andrei et al., 1989), and also structural studies (Schuller et al., 2009; Drew, 2006; Georgiev et al., 2009).</p><p>The age data attest to the temporal sequentially of Upper Cretaceous magmatism's evolution in the Carpathians and the Balkans. The most accurate age data (using geochronometers of zircon U-Pb and molybdenite Re-Os) suggest a very narrow evolutionary range (70.2-83.98 Ma, after Nicolescu et al., 1999; Galhofer, 2015 and 72.36-80.63 Ma, after Ciobanu et al., 2002; Zimmerman et al., 2008), which is characteristic to short-lived magmatism. In contrast, the same magmatism exists between 84-86 Ma in Serbia (Bor-Madjanpek district) and between 86-92 Ma and 67-70 Ma in Bulgaria (Srednogorie massif) in the Rhodope massif (von Quadt et al., 2007).</p><p>The magma volumes have been significant several times, so much so that we have circumstances such as that in Vlǎdeasa (Apuseni Mts), and not only, in which sedimentary deposits of the Gosau type are "suspended" at high altitude, "behind" the granodiorite intrusions. According to Lin & Wang (2006), there are two approaches to explain this situation in the Carpathians during Upper Cretaceous: (1) mechanical convective ablation of the lithosphere, as suggested by Bird (1979) for North American mountain ranges, or (2) detachment of a large piece of the lithospheric mantle, as suggested by Houseman et al. (1981). The thin crust can be explained in an extensional context, regardless of the adopted model, which facilitates rapid ascents of magmas induced by adiabatic detente at the base of the lithosphere and/or in the asthenosphere.</p><p>Irregular variations in La<sub>N</sub>/Yb<sub>N</sub>, Eu/Eu*, Ce/Ce*, and initial <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr, and <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd ratios that are in the range between 0.704957-0.706774 and 0.512456-0.512538 respectively, suggest that the banatites were generated by partial melting of the LCC, with the involvement of mantle-derived magmas.</p><p>The metallogenesis associated with banatitic magmatism is characterized by a great typological variety of metalliferous accumulations forming mineral deposits with main commodities of Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, ± Au, Ag, W, Mo, B, Mg, Te, Bi, Sb, spatially dominated by transpressive-transtensive tectonics. The most common forms of mineralization is skarn, porphyry copper, massive sulfide, and veins.

The article analyses the application of dialectological methods in studies of Slavic mythological system, as exemplified by the parallels between Polesie, the Carpathians and the Balkans. Possibility of implementing dialectology in the field of folklore studies is connected to the concept of ethnocultural area – a set of features, characteristic for a tradition, that are common in a certain area and stable geography-wise. The article considers dialectal distribution in Polesie of the following four motives: 1) «a snake that no one has seen acquires mythological features»; 2) a dead man becomes “walking dead”, if an animal has jumped over the body; 3) to keep the dead man from “walking” someone tells him nonsense; 4) a man turns into a werewolf, if his parents violated any prohibitions. Mapping of these motifs on the territory of Polesie demonstrates that their distribution is noted exclusively in central Polesie and, partially, in western Polesie. The density of these motives in the Polesie region is small, while in the Carpathian region they are represented widely. The presented material demonstrates the links between these regions. The mapping method allows us to understand the formation of Polesie mythological system and to solve the problem of diachronic description of the East Slavic tradition.

Terrorist Groups

SummaryAs a terror tactic, suicide terrorism is one of the most lethal as it relies on a human being to deliver and detonate the device. Suicide terrorism is not confined to a single region or religion. On the contrary, it has a global appeal, and in countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan it has come to represent an almost daily reality as it has become the weapon of choice for some of the most dreaded terrorist organizations in the world, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda. Drawing on over two decades of extensive field research in five distinct world regions, specifically the Middle East, Western Europe, North America, Russia, and the Balkans, the author discusses the origins of modern day suicide terrorism, motivational factors behind suicide terrorism, its global migration, and its appeal to modern-day terrorist groups to embrace it as a tactic.

Percutaneous Coronary

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) treatment guidelines as the preferred treatment for ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) whenever it is available within 90–120 minutes of the first medical contact. A survey conducted in 2008 in 51 ESC countries found that the annual incidence of hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction is around 1,900 patients per million population, with an incidence of STEMI of about 800 per million. It showed that STEMI patients’ access to reperfusion therapy and the use of PPCI or thrombolysis (TL) vary considerably between countries. Northern, western and central Europe already have well-developed PPCI services, offering PPCI to 60–90 % of all STEMI patients. Southern Europe and the Balkans are still predominantly using TL. Where this is the case, a higher proportion of patients are left without any reperfusion treatment. The survey concluded that a nationwide PPCI strategy results in more patients being offered reperfusion therapy. To address the inequalities in STEMI patients’ access to life-saving PPCI, and to support the implementation of the ESC STEMI treatment guidelines in Europe, the Stent for Life (SFL) Initiative was launched jointly by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) and EuroPCR in 2008. National cardiac societies from Bulgaria, France, Greece, Serbia, Spain and Turkey signed the SFL Declaration at the ESC Congress in Barcelona in 2009. The aim of the SFL Initiative is to improve the delivery of, and STEMI patients’ access to, life-saving PPCI and thereby reduce mortality and morbidity. Currently, 10 national cardiac societies support the SFL Initiative in their respective countries. SFL national action programmes have been developed and are being implemented in several countries. The formation of regional PPCI networks involving emergency medical services, non-percutaneous coronary intervention hospitals and PPCI centres is considered to be a critical success factor in implementing PPCI services effectively. This article describes examples of how SFL countries are progressing in implementing their national programmes, thus increasing PPCI penetration in Europe.
