The Subject

The article analyzes the scientific publication «Avgustin Voloshin – «the father of the Carpathian Ukrainian people» by the authors of S. V. Vidnyansky and N. N. Vegesha, well-known specialists in Ukraine on the history of the countries of Central - Eastern Europe and such a Central European region as Transcarpathia. Therefore, they are perfectly familiar with the material and know the subject of the research. In their opinion, the process of national revival of Transcarpathian Ukrainians in the 30s is associated with the personality of A. Voloshin as an educational, socio-political and statesman of the 20-th century. The authors of the book noted that the figure of A. Voloshin belongs to the great people of Transcarpathia and equates him with the personality of O. Dukhnovich, who devoted his life to the struggle for the better fate of his people and called on his compatriots to «put an end to deep sleep». The authors of the study described A. Voloshin’s personality in a new complex way and characterized his activities.

This paper deals with specific aspects of the crisis of social policy on the "central"-eastem European region, after the onset of political changes that commenced in 1989 with the so-called ..anti-communist revolutions", especially in "central" European countries. The period that began then has been characterised by fast political "transition" and restructuralisation of the economy and political institutions. It has brought with it the excitements of the "capitalisation" of the economy and society, greater individual liberties and rights. However, it has also inflicted on the region a social crisis of apocalyptic dimensions, which is truly unprecedent in this century's history of eastern Europe. The paper explores some particular elements of this social crisis, both statistically and qualitatively. These aspects of the crisis are interpreted, and in its concluding section the paper purports to suggest that any institutional and political change tends to have its more or less devastating social price, which in the case of most countries of "central"-eastern Europe could be have been lower if the reform had progressed at a more moderate and better planned pace.

The purpose of this article is description of perception and valuation of animals by students from selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In the first part of article was presented the history of the relationship between human and animal. The theoretical part of text includes also reflections on the moral status of animals. In the second part of article was presented results of the research which was conducted by author in 2015. The subject of the researches was: “Environmental values in the awareness of the students of humanities and life sciences from the selected European countries”. The project was conducted based on the quantitative method. The sample was comprised 520 students. In the article proposes the following research problems: Does the perception of animals depend on the direction the respondents study? Does gender affect how respondents perceive animals? The questions and independent variables were nominal, and their analysis required the use of a chi-squared test to examine. On the base statistical calculations can be concluded that sex and faculty of study doesn’t differentiate respondent’s opinion about animals welfare. The lack of differences in opinions between respondents is explained by the fact that it is the result of specifics of cultural Central Eastern Europe, not of gender or field of study. Obtained conclusions are pushing for further research in this area.

The East European region has always created a space of interaction between the great powers of the Eastern and Western Europe of the different epochs in European history. Not just a contact and an interaction region between Europe, Asia and the Middle East (Africa), but also a pivot of the European security environment, most often forming a real axis on which this scene of confrontation between powers can bend into one or the other part. We can say that the Eastern European region has formed hundreds of years ago (with the emergence of Ottoman power and its pressure on the Western powers, the emergence of the Tsarist and later Soviet power) a pivotal axis which determined the geopolitical configuration of the world and led successively to the advancement or decay of an empire or another. Indeed, the balance between Western powers and the Ottoman Empire, and later between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Eastern Powers, such as the Ottoman Empire and the Tsarist Empire, has been established for several hundred years right in this pivotal axis of Eastern Europe. For this reason, the political and military situation of the territories covered by the pivotal axis have always been a special one. This pivotal axis of Europe started from the Baltic Sea and was generally disposed over the continental strip where today are countries like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, a part of Poland (Pomerania and a part of Silesia), the Czech Republic, the western part of today Romania and a part of Serbia. This geographical positioning of the pivotal axis has led to a permanent political turmoil and change of borders in the mentioned regions. Referring exclusively to the manner in which this pivot axis intersected the current territory of Romania, we observe that in its passage from north to south it included Satu Mare, Oradea, Arad, Timişoara and Reşita. Oradea has always played an important role in Central-Eastern Europe, NATO recognizing the NATO HUMINT Centre of Excellence (HCOE) as a strategical organization with a remarkable contribution to the development of the Human Intelligence capability within the Alliance.

In this article the author presents the shaping of the Central European region in the Middle Ages through examples from the history of its ruling dynasties. In her view, clans adopting Christianity, while expanding their own power and initiating the process of organizing the state, also shaped their environment mentally as far as the interpretation of their own past – that is, their traditions – is concerned.

Abstract. LOŽEK (1986) is of the opinion that Pupilla loessica has been found recently in Central Asia. The aim of this study is to provide some initial, concrete contributions to the discussion of this subject. It should be understood as a basis for further investigations. During recent visits on site between 1995 and 2006 in Central Asia in the Russian Altay, in Northern Mongolia, in the Baikal region and in the Tien Shan, numerous recent malacocenoses were examined. In many places evidence was found of a form of Pupilla which had not previously been described from this region; its shell morphology cannot be distinguished from Pupilla loessica. Its distribution is concentrated in the strongly continental Khrebet Saylyugem in the South Eastern Altay. The probability of the occurrence of Pupilla loessica in Central Asia is supported, apart from the shell morphology criteria, by the preference of this species for more continental types of habitat with average annual temperatures markedly below 0° C and the corresponding accompanying fauna adapted to the cold, including e.g. Columella columella, Vertigo genesii, Vallonia tenuilabris, etc., which make these fauna easily comparable to the Pleistocene glacial associations of the Central European region.

Individual types of waterbodies are characterised by their specific environmental conditions controlling growth of aquatic macrophytes. We focused on effects of environmental factors on macrophyte species richness in canals, ponds, rivers and streams within Central European region. We employed generalised linear models (GLM) to assess separately overall macrophyte species data and data on wetland species (true aquatic plants and helophytes). No significant difference was revealed by comparing species richness among water body types, though canals were the richest water bodies and streams supported the lowest diversity of macrophytes. The models for all the waterbodies, except streams, contained at least two variables and the explained variability ranged from 37% to 77%. The most recurring variables were the coverage of fine substrate, turbidity, shading by bank and shore trees and shrubs, and altitude. Nevertheless, no obvious pattern of factors was observed for particular water body types. Our study confirmed that aquatic macrophyte species richness is shaped by a complexity of factors and necessity of targeting survey and further generalisation of results not only on one specific water body.
