Zgodbe z »najlepše reke«: humanističnogeografski pogled na zgodovino razvoja in upravljanja turizma na Soči

V članku sta podana pregled in analiza razvoja turistične rabe reke Soče ter s tem povezanih upravljavskih praks. Turizem na Soči se je v treh desetletjih razvil od alternativne do izrazito množične tržne dejavnosti, Dolina Soče pa v mednarodno prepoznano outdoor destinacijo. Vzporedno s tem so se z zamikom sprejemali in spreminjali upravljavski ukrepi in pristopi. Na podlagi dolgoročnega etnografskega dela je v članku prikazano, ali in kako so se spreminjali vloga in stališča ključnih lokalnih akterjev ter interesnih skupin do upravljanja in razvoja turizma na Soči. Poleg za outdoor turizem značilnih upravljavskih vidikov (na primer varnost, infrastruktura, cena) je v ospredju vprašanje zaščite in smeri razvoja lokalne turistične ekonomije, ki se pojavi ob naraščajočem koriščenju omejenega vira v pogojih prostega pretoka ljudi, storitev in kapitala. // Stories from the “most beautiful river«: a humanistic geographical perspective on the history of the development and management of tourism on the river Soča The article presents an analysis of the development of the tourist use of the river Soča and the related management practices. In three decades, tourism on the Soča has developed from an alternative to mass tourism, while the Soča valley has become an internationally recognized outdoor destination. Management measures and approaches have been adopted and adapted with some delay. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, the article presents whether and how the role and attitudes of the most important local actors and interest groups have changed in relation to the river tourism development and management. In addition to the typical management issues of outdoor tourism (e.g. safety, infrastructure, price), the focus is on the protection and development direction of the local tourism industry – an issue that often arises in cases of the increasing use of limited resources under conditions of free movement of people, capital and services.

AbstractThis article explores the history of the creole South Sudanese Arabic language from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It analyses the historical evidence of language use in the light of insights drawn from linguistic studies of creolisation to argue that South Sudanese Arabic became an innovative and necessary means of communication among multiple actors within new fields of interaction. The article argues that these fields of interaction were both the product and the arena of local state formation. Rather than marking the boundary of the state, the spread of this creole language indicates the enlarging arenas of participation in the local state. The development and use of South Sudanese Arabic as an unofficial lingua franca of local government, trade, and urbanisation demonstrates that communication and negotiation among local actors has been central to the long-term processes of state formation in South Sudan.

Aims: There is an increase in demand for the social environment regulations in the pharmaceutical companies, which is a crucial strategy issue in long-term planning due to the incidence of social influence. The influence of society over resource allocation and its control over innovation is all the perceptions of today's needs. This research aims to highlight the managerial issues faced by the pharmaceutical healthcare sector of Ukraine. Our study is unique as we have analyzed the whole pharmaceutical sector of Ukraine in terms of management issues. There is no such research done yet. In addition, we have also researched the official databases and laid down the models for management practices. Methodology: The research was done to analyze the major issues in the social management of the pharmaceutical healthcare system. In addition, the related studies based on managerial issues were studied. The following databases were used to study the guidelines: World Health Organisation, Food and Drug Administration, Internationational Council for Harmonization, and European Union. Results: The results were found to be when comparing behavioural studies with non-behavioural; non-behavioural was found to be 64%, whereas behavioural was 34%. To have an in-depth knowledge of the managerial issues, we have provided an inverted tree diagram representing the significant issues in pricing and medical expenditures. These contributed 21.7% of non-behavioural studies, and in behavioural studies, it was found to be consumer or physician-level behaviour 23.4% contributing the central part of the issue. Conclusion: Here we conclude that the pharmaceutical healthcare sector plays a crucial role in the global healthcare of the general public-facing management issues; hence should be analyzed and follow the guidelines to analyze the issues within the company and set goals. Therefore, improving the management of the pharma sector will, in turn, improve public health in Ukraine.

Despite its dominant positive elements and phenomena, tourism (especially mass tourism) is increasingly experiencing the opposite side of the coin i.e. contradictory and negative elements, both in theory and in practice. In this work, we give a detailed and systematic report on all the positive, as well as the negative and unfavourable social and economic functions of tourism. Light is shed on both the cause and effect relation in tourism and the negative, contradictory and conflicting elements and manifestations in tourism. To this end, we have made a theoretical classification (based on foreign and domestic literature, as well as our own contributions) of all conflicting and negative functions and phenomena through 3 contingent spheres. These are: (1) the social and cultural domain, (2) the ecological domain and (3) the economic and organisational domain. By applying a social and economic method o f research, the author lists and corroborates the interdependence, consistancy and growing potentiality of contradicting, conflicting and crisis processes which tourism, in its present level of development, is forced to deal with. In conclusion to our research, we have proposed possible, favourable solutions which could secure the survival and long-term outlook of the tourism industry. These are: the role of the human factor, the need to enrichen and redesign mass tourism and above all, the importance of the new orientation towards SELECTIVE tourism or tourism of continuous development.

Harvest Control Rules

Abstract Rebuilding depleted fisheries towards sustainable levels, such as BMSY, is challenging under uncertainty. Although a substantial amount of research has highlighted the importance of accounting for uncertainty in fisheries management, tactical measures remain to be identified. We consider two approaches to achieve this goal: (i) the naive maximum sustainable yield (MSY) approach, combining management measures based on effort control, catch quotas, and spatial–temporal closures, and (ii) the harvest control rules (HCRs) approach, developing HCRs based on short-term or long-term targets. A suite of strategies is developed accordingly and tested with management strategy evaluation for their performance under four sources of uncertainty that may negatively impact management effects, including reduced recruitment strength, increased natural mortality, inadequate implementation error, and varying levels of temporal effort aggregation. Combining management measures using the naive MSY approach is found to perform poorly in tackling uncertainty. Complex HCRs that account for both short-term and long-term BMSY targets can mitigate the adverse effects of uncertainty. The rebuilding target can be only achieved by compromising yield, especially when uncertainties with natural mortality and recruitment are present. Strategies based on catch quotas are prone to all sources of uncertainty, indicating latent risks in many current management practices.

Sustainability for SMEs is a process of development target to be achieved by increasing the competitiveness in theglobal market. In this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate the SMEs in Turkey within the framework ofmanagement issues and corporate governance viewpoint and to present an outline of possible solutions. Anotherpurpose of this study is to contribute management literature in terms of shedding lights on the relations ofsustainability and management practices on SMEs to raise awareness. In order to conduct this study method ofdetailed literature review is used. Detected management issues and solutions are examined into four main categories,which are (a) the lack of awareness of the sustainability and failure of implementation of this concept to themanagement practices, (b) lack of understanding of the relationship between the expectations of stakeholders onsustainability and company's future interests, (c) lack of the vision about sustainability and presence of unclearlydefined rules, roles and processes within the companies, (d) lack of skills to analyze the short and long term effects tothe company of not taking sustainability concept into decision making mechanisms.

The Impact

Anthropized landscapes are characterized by various human activities related to resource extraction, recreational activities, and urbanization, among others. Conservation of species living in such landscapes is challenging due to the lack of compatibility between wildlife and human needs, which can create win-lose scenarios for target species. Therefore, adequate management practices are necessary to reduce conflicts and promote coexistence between wildlife and human beings. Here, we test the effectiveness of management measures on the productivity of an Egyptian vulture population living in an anthropized region of Northern Spain by using long-term monitoring data (2000–2020). During the first decade, we demonstrated that disturbance events negatively affected the species reproduction. Therefore, in 2010 we started a management plan in which we first established a basis for the species protection, and second we developed management actions to avoid or reduce the impact of potential disturbance events on the Egyptian vulture’ breeding. We observed that almost half of the disturbances detected after the management was related to resource extraction activities such as forestry (40.6%). Management measures effectively increased productivity (84 vs 137, chicks fledged successfully before and after, respectively) and the breeding success of the pairs in which the disturbances were detected and stopped (66.7%) was much higher than those non-managed and non-stopped in time (17.4%). Moreover, we estimated that 44 nestlings (32.1%) would have died without management actions during the second decade. Overall, our work demonstrated that collaborative networks can design and implement effective management measures for endangered territorial species, taking into account all agents involved (policymakers, rangers, stakeholders, general public, and researchers) in the conservation area. Thereby, it alleviates conflicts in human-dominated ecosystems and generates a balanced scenario that favors long-term sustainable human-wildlife coexistence.

Target Locations

Coral reef-based tourism has developed quickly in Southern Vietnam, taking into account the target locations namely Cu Lao Cham islands, Nha Trang bay, Ninh Thuan and Phu Quoc islands during last decade. Among them, Nha Trang bay had longer history of marine tourism, starting with inshore development and expanding to islands in and around the bay. Tourist activities in Cu Lao Cham islands and Ninh Thuan were developed in linkages with MPA development and management. Meanwhile, Phu Quoc had become a new destination and drawn huge investments for extensive development of tourism in the islands. Economic value that was brought from use of coral reefs for tourism has increased significantly. For example, the payment of entry fee to Cu Lao Cham MPA has quickly increased year by year, reaching approximately 700,000 USD in 2018 and that in Ninh Thuan around 50,000 in 2017 and up to 200,000 USD in 2018. Reclamation for infrastructure building on inshore land and islands was considered as a serious impact, resulting in loss of terrestrial and underwater habitats (e.g. loss of Melaleuca forest in Phu Quoc islands or seagrass beds and coral reefs in Nha Trang bay) and increased sediment loading to coral reefs. Overexploitation of living resources for high food and souvenir demands occurred at all areas, leading to modification of communities, poorness and uncertainty for resource recruitment. Among these tree areas, Phu Quoc waters are the most vulnerable to coral bleaching due to increased surface temperature with records of mass bleaching in 2010 and 2016. Although MPAs existed in all study areas, role of conservationists in developing coral reef tourism was significantly considerable only in Cu Lao Cham case but poor in others. Local managers and businesses should pay more attention to sustainability in order to ensure not only coral reef conservation but also long-term benefits of local communities and tourist sector itself.

McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is characterized by endocrinopathies, café-au-lait spots, and fibrous dysplasia. Bisphosphonates are the most prescribed treatment for reducing the pain but their long-term use has been associated with atypical fractures of cortical bones like femur in patients. We present a 23-year-old girl diagnosed with MAS. She had an atypical mid-shaft left femoral fracture that happened during simple walking. She also had a history of long-term use of alendronate. Because of the narrow medullary canal, we used 14 holes hybrid locking plate for the lateral aspect of the thigh to fix the fracture and 5 holes dynamic compression plate (instead of the intramedullary nail) in the anterior surface to double fix it, reducing the probability of device failure. With double plate fixation and discontinuation of alendronate, the complete union was achieved five months after surgery

Different understandings of European integration, its background and present problems are represented in this book, but they share an emphasis on historical processes, geopolitical dynamics and regional diversity. The introduction surveys approaches to the question of European continuities and discontinuities, before going on to an overview of chapters. The following three contributions deal with long-term perspectives, including the question of Europe as a civilisational entity, the civilisational crisis of the twentieth century, marked by wars and totalitarian regimes, and a comparison of the European Union with the Habsburg Empire, with particular emphasis on similar crisis symptoms. The next three chapters discuss various aspects and contexts of the present crisis. Reflections on the Brexit controversy throw light on a longer history of intra-Union rivalry, enduring disputes and changing external conditions. An analysis of efforts to strengthen the EU’s legal and constitutional framework, and of resistances to them, highlights the unfinished agenda of integration. A closer look at the much-disputed Islamic presence in Europe suggests that an interdependent radicalization of Islamism and the European extreme right is a major factor in current political developments. Three concluding chapters adopt specific regional perspectives. Central and Eastern European countries, especially Poland, are following a path that leads to conflicts with dominant orientations of the EU, but this also raises questions about Europe’s future. The record of Scandinavian policies in relation to Europe exemplifies more general problems faced by peripheral regions. Finally, growing dissonances and divergences within the EU may strengthen the case for Eurasian perspectives.
