Poglavlje 25: Nauka i istraživanje

Author(s): Mladen Perazić / Language(s): Montenegrine Publication Year: 0

Ulaskom u EU Crna Gora će adekvatno participirati u svim naučnoistraživačkim programima EU? Crna Gora će morati da preduzme dodatne napore u jačanju ljudskih resursa i infrastrukturnih kapaciteta za efikasno učešće u okvirnim istraživačkim programima i integraciju u Evropski istraživački prostor. Crna Gora je započela sa integracijom u Evropski istraživački prostor ERA. Imenovani su i delegirani posmatrači u većini upravnih tijela ERA-e, kao i u Komitetu Evropskog istraživačkog prostora ERAC, a takođe Crna Gora učestvuje u Sedmom okvirnom programu za istraživanje FP7. Nije uključena u nuklearna istraživanja i od nje nije zahtijevano da se pridruži Okvirnom programu EURATOM. Međutim, glavna prepreka za adekvatno učešće u EU programima će biti nedostatak iskusnih istraživača, nedovoljan broj istraživača u instituciji, nedovoljno iskusno administrativno osoblje i neadekvatna ili zastarjela oprema.

Author(s): Fusun Baykal,Ferdi Akbas / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The subject and purpose of this paper is to analyze the natural attractions of the province of Manisa, where adventure tourism in Turkey can take action immediately with small initiatives. The study was prepared by two methods: qualitative research and geographical area research. Qualitative data were used by making in-depth descriptions and interpretations with the tourism geography approach, and thematic systematic flow was provided from the theory to the findings in the content. Types, components, activities and effects in adventure tourism constitutes the theoretical framework of the study. Geographical field research was carried out in the form of field observations with the competence given by the geographer identity of the authors. The design of this qualitative research is a situation analysis. The findings related to Manisa have been shaped upon the current situation and potential of adventure tourism (Spil Mountain National Park, Kula-Salihli Geopark, Gediz River, Gölmarmara Lake, hiking routes, etc.). The study has gained originality with the suggestions developed within the scope of the components, activities, appropriate areas, and research projects by synthesizing the subjects in theoretical framework with Manisa. The contribution of the study to the research region, literature and tourism geography is to reveal that adventure tourism can be more successful if it is integrated with other tourism types that intersect with it on the basis of space and activities than being implemented by itself.

Evolution of Religious Tourism: Concept, Segmentation and Development of New Identities

Author(s): Mariana Balan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

During the last decades of the 21st century, world tourism has diversified its forms of manifestation internationally, trying to capitalize on the most valuable cultural and religious objectives in the religious cultural heritage of a country. Between tourism and culture, respectively between tourism and religion there are countless interactions and combinations based on the relationship between the cultural objective / sacred place and the motivation of the tourist according to which several aspects can be analyzed. Tourism, in general, be it religious or cultural, is the way in which a country becomes known to the world, and through which other people can see the natural resources, the tourist potential and the riches of that country. Romania has a cultural-historical and ethnofolkloric heritage of great value as well as tourist attractiveness and it is blessed with thousands of holy places and religious monuments, some dating back to the early Christian centuries. This paper presents a brief analysis of the evolution of religious tourism and the way existing concepts, paradigms and practices related to this type of tourism have evolved and changed over time. The performed analyzes show that the concept of religious tourism is gradually transformed and modernized over the years, going through phases of segmentation, creation of new market niches and development of new identities. The regions with cultural-religious tourist potential in Romania are also presented, as well as the activities that can grow and help the development of this type of tourism in our country.

Uloga države u ulaganju u istraživačke djelatnosti, naučne na univezitetima i razvojne u poduzećima poslije 1995. god. nikada nije razmatrana ni na jednom visokom organu države, entiteta i kantona (osim Kantona Sarajevo koji je 2005. god. na Skupštini usvojio Plan naučnoistraživačke djelatnost - PNID - sa skromnim početnim financiranjem od 15% predratne norme u odnosu na svoj BDP, sa planom dostizanja norme u 2009. god., što je napušteno kao cilj već u 2006. god,). Državna Strategija iz 2010. god. nema plan ulaganja, te se ne može smatrati validnim dokumentom kada je financiranje u pitanju.

СЪВРЕМЕННИ ЛИНГВОГЕОГРАФСКИ МЕТОДИ ЗА ИЗСЛЕДВАНЕ НА ДИАЛЕКТНАТА ЛЕКСИКА (“ИНТЕРАКТИВНА КУЛИНАРНА КАРТА НА БЪЛГАРСКАТА ЕЗИКОВА ТЕРИТОРИЯ”)

Author(s): Margarita Koteva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article presents an Interactive Culinary Map of the Bulgarian language territory, made by research associates of the Institute of Bulgarian Language at IBM “Prof. L. Andreychin” of the BAS with the help of the latest linguogeographical methods, tailored to the development of communication technologies. Through traditional visual means, greater concreteness of the phenomena is achieved, and through electronic means, the dynamic interpretation of these phenomena is possible. The map continues the tradition in Bulgarian linguistic geography, according to which maps and atlases have been produced for years. Mapping of the material is done using a special mapping program. The idea is to show on the map not only the distribution of lexemes (their spatial projection), but also to present linguistic phenomena in their interconnectedness. The aspiration is also aimed at delineating the main culinary regions on the Bulgarian linguistic territory. The production of the interactive culinary map of the Bulgarian language territory fully meets the public needs in the country. Internet users from all over the world (the map has a mirrored English version) can see how the names of typical traditional dishes and drinks are spelled in Bulgarian dialects, as well as hear authentic speech from most dialect areas.

Cesty mimo mapu

Author(s): Daniela Kolenovská / Language(s): English,Czech Publication Year: 0

If at the end of the 20th century you wanted to know whether Moscow or the authentic extreme left had been more powerful in postwar Central Europe, you had to go to Russia. The promising partial opening of the Soviet archives began a trend and researchers let themselves be seduced by the vision of uncovering the secrets of Bolshevism’s success. The symbolic representation of this vision was an imaginary map of the blank spaces in Soviet history.

Reflexia transformačného, pseudotransformačného a laissez-faire leadershipu v angažovanosti, dôvere a inovácii zamestnancov (pilotná fáza – metóda filmu)

Author(s): Jana Lišková,Denisa Drabová / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Objectives. The aim of the paper is to present the pilot phase of the second part of the research on verifying the new leadership concept (transformational - TL, pseudotransformational -PTL and laissez-faire - LFL) in terms of employee engagement, trust and innovation. Method. In a between-subject experimental design, categories of leadership were manipulated by the movie method (12 Angry Men). The role of the participants was to focus attention on selected characters (leaders) while watching the film and then respond to self-assessing scales (engagement, trust, innovation). The sample of the pilot study consisted of 36 students. Results. The results were analysed by variance analysis (ANOVA) and showed statistically significant differences in engagement, trust and innovation depending on the type of leadership. Participants perceived the highest engagement, trust and innovation in the TL condition, the lowest in the condition with PTL. Conclusions. The TL reiterated its positive effects on working attitudes and behaviour; on the other hand, PTL again appears to be the “worst” among the selected leadership styles. The LFL did not appear as negative in our research as it is described in the literature. We consider the pilot study to be a necessary step to carry out research on a target sample of employees. Limits. The limit of research is undoubtedly the size of the sample, the use of self-assessing scales and the risk of the possible impact of the movie's character un / sympathy on the outcome.
