This paper presents an outline and announces the continuation of the Codex Diplomaticus Maritimus Croatiae (Croatian Diplomatic Maritime Codex), consisting of a total of 100,000 documents on Croatia’s presence in the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. Nikola Čolak had started this project in 1956 in Zadar and was developing it for the next 40 years, exploring all the relevant archives on both coasts of the Adriatic that were relevant for not only Croatian history but for everyone else participating in this trade (Italians, Jews, and many others). After the 3rd volume of the Croatian Maritime Regesta was published in 2017, two historians decided to continue, in collaboration with other Croatian and foreign researchers, the publication of the aforementioned series by publishing the 4th volume of this series. The project introduces, as the innovation to the original project, the use of modern technologies related to the processing of digitized data as to allow everyone free access to hitherto unpublished archival sources in regesto as well as in extenso, depending on the importance of the document.

Second World

The Allied victory over Germany in the Second World War, like that in the First, left the Mediterranean unsettled. After Greece emerged from its civil war with a pro-western government, there were ever louder rumbles in Cyprus, where the movement calling for enôsis, union with Greece, was gathering pace again. Precisely because the Greeks sided with the West, and because Turkey had kept out of the war, during the late 1940s the United States began to see the Mediterranean as an advance position in the new struggle against the expanding power of the Soviet Union. The explicit theme was the defence of democracy against Communist tyranny. Stalin’s realism had prevented him from supporting Communist insurgency in Greece, but he was keen to find ways of gaining free access to the Mediterranean through the Dardanelles. In London and Washington, the fear that Soviet allies would establish themselves on the shores of the Mediterranean remained real, since the partisan leader in Yugoslavia, Tito, had played the right cards during the last stages of the war, even winning support from the British. Moreover, the Italians had lost Zadar along with the naval base at Kotor and chunks of Dalmatia they had greedily acquired during the war, while Albania, after an agonizing period of first Italian and then German occupation, had recovered its independence under the Paris-educated Communist leader Enver Hoxha, whose uncompromising stance was to bring his country into ever-greater isolation. When he took power, Hoxha imagined that his country would form part of a brotherly band of socialist nations, alongside Tito’s renascent Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. Close ties with the Yugoslavs were sealed by economic pacts which reveal Tito’s hope of drawing Albania into the Yugoslav federation. Hoxha had other aspirations, and in his view Albania’s right to defend every square inch of the national territory extended into the waters off the Albanian coast: the Corfu Channel, long used as a waterway linking Greece to the Adriatic, was mined to prevent foreign incursions. Britain decided to send warships through the channel, asserting its right to police the Mediterranean on behalf of the nations of the world.

The omnipresence of modern technologies and free access to information granted to general public facilitated demythologization of our history, refutation of ingrained archaic stereotypes and propagation of historical knowledge and better understanding of intellectual and cultural heritage. However, lack of systemic approach to processing of the information found, partial coverage of disparate topics and blatant ignorance of how the source interpretations evolved, repeated public indoctrination with second-hand interpretations (i.e. referring to previous interpretations) without explanation of the original semantics of text or image, as well as pathological graphorrhea of certain authors promoted by facilities and resources of numerous social networks, all result in profanation of the epistemological process. In certain cases, this situation is aggravated by the controversy embedded in the written or visual source itself, as well as by the intentional or unintentional bias against a certain historical figure described or depicted by the source, that is smothered in the current confrontation between different myth-making systems or information war. This article exposes the core and sources of the so-called "Hippolytus legend" and its visualization in the XVII-XIX paintings. It puts under scrutiny when and under what circumstances this work of ancient literature transformed into "the Legend of Mazepa". It also exposes the evolution in ХІХ - ХХІ centures of the new edition of the romantic legend presented by the literature, works of fine arts and decorative and applied arts. Various versions of traditional visual interpretations have been analysed along with the underlying reasoning and causes for the emergence of contemporised visual presentation of the well-known image of Mazepa tied to the horse’s croup. The semantic modifications of so-called distorted images of "modern Mazepas" have also been exposed. The historical figures had been most often branded as "modern Mazepas" have also been put under scrutiny. Such a detailed analysis of both Mazepa's literary and visual image and the peculiarities of the emergence and subsequent interpretations of the "Mazepa's lore" are crucial for understanding of the ancient texts and images that are not always correctly interpreted nowadays, thus spawning numerous new fabrications and myths.

Šiandieną mokslas yra transformuojamas sparčiai besivystančių technologijų, o mokslininkai bei mokslinėje erdvėje veikiantys asmenys turi prisitaikyti prie kintamos aplinkos. Mokslo rezultatų sklaida, vykusi įvairiais komunikacijos kanalais, suskaitmeninama, todėl atsiranda efektyvesnio mokslininkų bendradarbiavimo, mokslinių tinklų plėtros, mokslo rezultatų sklaidos prielaidų, taip pat žinioms visuomenėje plisti. Mokslo komunikacijoje matoma rinkos ekonomikos sąlygota vartojomosios mokslo komunikacijos sampratos apibrėžtis, kai mokslo rezultatai lemia ne tik mokslo populiarinimą, bet ir valstybės remiamą mokslo žurnalų finansavimą. Atviras mokslo kūrinių pateikimas visuomenei, naudojant skaitmeninėmis informacijos ir komunikacijos technologijomis grįstą mokslo komunikacijos infrastruktūrą, yra nulemtas tiek demokratinės visuomenės pagrindų suformuoto viešo intereso žinoti, tiek komercinių mokslo komunikacijos modelių kaitos.Straipsnio tikslas – susisteminti ir išanalizuoti informaciją apie mokslo komunikaciją, mokslo žurnalus, kaip formalios dokumentinės komunikacijos priemonę mokslo komunikacijos kaitos kontekste.

Abstract. Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have shown that subjects following the Mediterranean diet had lower inflammatory markers such as homocysteine (Hcy). Therefore, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess female diet quality with the Mediterranean diet quality index (MDQI) and to determine the correlation between MDQI, homocysteine, folate and vitamin B12 levels in the blood. The study participants were 237 apparently healthy women (96 of reproductive age and 141 postmenopausal) between 25 and 93 years. For each participant, 24-hour dietary recalls for 3 days were collected, MDQI was calculated, and plasma Hcy, serum and erythrocyte folate and vitamin B12 levels were analysed. Total MDQI ranged from 8 to 10 points, which represented a medium-poor diet for the subjects. The strength of correlation using biomarkers, regardless of group type, age, gender and other measured parameters, was ranked from best (0.11) to worst (0.52) for olive oil, fish, fruits and vegetables, grains, and meat, in this order. Hcy levels showed the best response among all markers across all groups and food types. Our study shows significant differences between variables of the MDQI and Hcy levels compared to levels of folate and vitamin B12 in participants with medium-poor diet quality, as evaluated according to MDQI scores.
