The middle Bosnia is a part of the central mountain area, Yugoslav integral large area complex. According to the administrativ-political organisation it is consisting of 37 municipalities with total are 12883 km/2 (ENCLOSURE 1). During ten years studied period the middle Bosnia population is characterized by the slow pulsating (variability 3,1 prom.) low values of middle type natality (the rates were between 15,2 prom. and 18,3 prom.). Furthermore, it is noticing the slow pulsating (variability 1,0 prom.) low mortality values with the rates between 6,3 prom. and 7,3 prom. (the rates of infantile mortality after Year 1984. were low and during first four studied years were between 25,5 prom. and 32,7 prom.). The results is the slow pulsating (variability 3,5 prom.) middle values of moderate natural population growth type (the rates were between 7,9 prom.) and 11,4 prom.). According to the indicated results, as wel as considering the characteristics of middle Bosnia sex and age population structure during studied period and Its social-economics development, and as per as the three-stages model of demographics transition, that is as per as the population development charac. teristics, it is possible to conclude that the studied population is very deep in a late transition substage.

The study aims to assess the sex-age population structure in terms of its impact on the up-coming dynamics of natural increase and, consequently, on the general change in the population size. There are various approaches to assessing this influence, proposed and used by scientists who have studied this aspect of demographic dynamics. This article discusses a relatively simple indica-tor of the sex-age population structure, which allows estimating its future influence on the ratio of births to deaths, and on the natural population growth. The indicator proposed is the so-called demographic potential of the sex-age structure, which is the ratio of female population aged 10–39 to the population of both sexes aged 65 years and older. The number of births in the next 10–15 years largely depends on the size of the first one, while the number of deaths in this period depends on the size of the second one.Before using the demographic potential of the sex-age structure to forecast the dynamics of natural population growth, a retrospective assessment of the relation of this potential with subse-quent natural population growth should be carried out for some particular time point in the past. We chose the sex-age structure of the mid-2000s and the natural increase (per 1000 population) in 2000–2015 for such assessment, accounting for 201 countries. The high value of the correlation coefficient (0.815) indicates that the current sex-age structure and its demographic potential can be used (with varying degrees of conditionality, of course) to forecast the future dynamics of natural growth. In turn, the size of the demographic potential of the sex-age structure of the population depends on the preceding levels of fertility and mortality.An assessment of the demographic potential of the sex-age population structure in mid-2015 for 201 countries of the world showed that in a number of countries in Asia and Africa the value of this potential exceeds 10, so significant natural population growth is highly probable there in the next 10–15 years. Meanwhile, in a number of European countries the value of this potential is less than 1 (i.e., the population aged 65 years and older is larger than the female population aged 10–39 years), which is likely to result in a very small natural increase (in case of a favorable mode of pop-ulation reproduction) or even a natural decline.

This review analyses the ostracod record in Holocene tsunami deposits, using an overview of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami impact on its recent populations and the associated tsunamigenic deposits, together with results from numerous investigations of other Holocene sequences. Different features such as the variability of the local assemblages, population density, species diversity, age population structure (e.g., percentages of adults and juvenile stages) or taphonomical signatures suggest that these microorganisms may be included amongst the most promising tracers of these high-energy events in marshes, lakes, lagoons or shallow marine areas.

ABSTRAKKrebet adalah sentra industri batik kayu yang mempunyai potensi kepariwisataan baik dari sisi budaya maupun alamnya. Pemberdayaan kelompok PKK di desa Krebet sangat bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan ketahanan keluarga baik dari segi ekonomi, sosial, budaya maupun agama. Berbagai keterampilan yang diperoleh, akan bisa membekali anggotanya  untuk bisa hidup lebih baik. Kondisi pandemi Covid sangat membutuhkan daya imun yang cukup kuat untuk bisa menangkal virus Covid-19. Hasil need assessment menunjukkan bahwa kelompok PKK memerlukan tambahan informasi tentang Toga. Toga termasuk tanaman yang murah dalam produksinya, tidak membutuhkan lahan yang luas, cocok ditanam baik di dataran rendah maupun tinggi, sudah dikenal masyarakat Indonesia serta cara pengolahan hasil produksi yang mudah untuk skala rumah tangga. Tujuan dari pengabdian masyarakat adalah mengenalkan tentang jenis Toga, manfaat Toga dan pengolahan Toga sederhana. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat diikuti oleh 14 peserta diawali pemberian pendidikan kesehatan tentang Toga dan manfaatnya, dan tata cara budidaya Toga. Kegiatan berikutnya adalah praktek mengolah jahe menjadi puding. Evaluasi berdasarkan kuesioner menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan peserta sebelum dan setelah pemberian pendidikan kesehatan. Kata kunci: toga; desa wisata krebet; covid-19; pemberdayaan masyarakat; ketahanan keluarga.ABSTRACTKrebet is the center of the wooden batik industry that has tourism potential both in terms of culture and nature. The main activities carried out by mothers are mostly housewives, and are involved in PKK social activities. The Covid-19 pandemic requires a strong immune system to be able to ward off the Covid-19 virus. The results of the assessment in the area, the agreed skill to be taught to PKK mothers is the cultivation of the Toga plant. Toga is a plant that is cheap to produce, does not require a large area of land, suitable for planting in both the lowlands and highlands, well known to the Indonesian people and  an easy way of processing production for household scale. Empowerment of the PKK group is very useful for increasing family resilience in terms of economic, social, cultural and religious aspects. Various skills obtained will be able to equip its members to be able to live better. This community service activity was attended by 14 participants, carried out in three stages, namely providing health education about Toga and its benefits, as well as procedures for cultivating Toga. The third stage is the practice of how to process the Toga. The evaluation was carried out by giving a questionnaire of knowledge about Toga and skills in practicing how to process Toga results before and after the activity. The results of data analysis showed an increase in participants' knowledge before and after the provision of health education. Keywords: toga; krebet tourism village; covid-19; community empowerment; family resilience

The distribution of stone crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium (Schrank, 1803) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Astacidae) in the south-west Romanian mountain and sub-mountain area Data is presented in relation to the geographical distribution of the endangered crayfish species Austropotamobius torrentium. One hundred and seventy-four sampling stations situated along the streams of 15 geographical units from the South-West of Romania (Anina Mountains, Almăj, Dognecea, Godeanu, Locva, Ţarcu, Retezat, Semenic, Mehedinţi, Vâlcan, Parâng, Şureanu, Poiana Ruscă, Lipova Hills and Mehedinţi Plateau) have been investigated. A distribution map was compiled. The data from older publications were collated. The actual habitat of this species occupies a large area of South-West Romania in the mountain and sub-mountain area, being absent in the Poiana Ruscă Mts, Lipova and Dognecea Hills.

This study refers to cities of 3,000-10,000 residents and takes account of urban blots of cities according to aerial photos from 1940 until today. The population of each blot is matched with the population censuses every ten years, carried out by the Greek Statistical Authority. This chapter tries to answer the questions if the post-war housing development accompanied equally with the population development researching the similarity areas of the phenomenon, the classification, and the proportion of it in the Greek territory. The study demonstrates that the residential development in postwar Greece is positive fluctuating from minimum positive to extremely high. In contrast, the population in the corresponding urban footprint of the same chronologies seems to be large where there is high residential development but negative where cities presenting intermediate and low indicators.

Urban heritage sites in central cities are most difficult to protect during rapid and large scale urban (re)development. Rising land values from property development conflict with and constrain heritage preservation. Compared with many cities in developed and developing countries, large Chinese cities have experienced a stronger redevelopment imperative, faster population growth, and a weaker concern for urban heritages over the last three decades. We use Shanghai to examine the contested evolution of heritage preservation against massive urban redevelopment through three stages from 1990 to the present. Using three heritage projects (Xintiandi, Tianzifang, Bugaoli), we focus on: 1) how each project was implemented and the economic and spatial outcomes each has produced; 2) how the mode of each project’s development interacted with the shifting official policies for heritage preservation; and 3) the implications of the findings, theoretical and practical, for more effective urban preservation.
