НПиГПаркови Туристичко-географски преглед на национални паркови и геопаркови во светот
No full textThe number of national parks and geoparks in the world is constantly increasing. UNESCO plays a significant role in protecting the world\u27s natural and cultural heritage, maintaining lists in order to ensure better protection of important intangible heritage around the world. Starting from here, the main goal of the paper is a presentation, that is, a tourist-geographic overview of all national parks and geoparks in the world, viewed by continents and countries. From a tourism perspective, partial data has been presented, only for the parks that have data on the number of visitors - tourists in the parks. The paper also presents separate data on parks in the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Finally, the conclusion recommends that the competent institutions in national parks and geoparks record tourist visits. Visitor records will generally have an impact on enriching the tourist promotion of the parks

THE SUCCINATE DEHIDROGENASE INHIBITOR FUNGICIDES: FUNGAL RESISTANCE AND ITS MANAGEMENT
No full textEffective disease management is essential to mitigate the rapid emergence of resistant pathogen populations. An important group of fungicides that play a pivotal role in the integrated management systems, among others, also because of their low environmental toxicity, are succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors, which act by binding to the mitochondrial complex II of the respiratory system. Unlike first-generation SDHIs (e.g., carboxin and oxycarboxin), which exhibit high efficacy against basidiomycetes, newer compounds in this class (e.g., cyclobutrifluram, furametpyr, and inpyrfluxam) demonstrate broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of fungal species. However, their repeated and inadequate application strategies, can exert strong selection pressure, favoring the development of resistant fungal genotypes, which may ultimately compromise fungicide efficacy. This review examines both historical and recent advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying SDHI resistance, as well as other factors influencing the evolution of resistance. In addition, we provide insights into strategies for the effective use of newly developed SDHI molecules and highlight key research directions for combating resistance in the future
SOCIAL AND IDEOLOGICAL PRECONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF EUROPEAN NATIONALISM AMID THE RADICALIZATION OF POLITICAL PROCESSES IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY
No full textThis article explores the rise of sovereignism in European countries amid the radicalization of political discourse and the ongoing crisis of the European integration project, which has struggled to address the socio-economic and political challenges facing European societies. The research highlights a notable shift in electoral preferences toward nationalist parties, which continue to gain political legitimacy and expand their influence within both national and supranational institutions. The study investigates the underlying causes of the growing ideological confrontation between liberal-integrationist and nationalist forces, the latter of which now represent a significant and organized political presence in Europe. Key characteristics of contemporary nationalist ideology are identified and analyzed. Sovereignism is conceptualized as a socially constructed phenomenon, rooted in evolving national self-awareness and symbolic narratives shaped by historical and political contexts. While the expression of nationalist sentiment varies across regions, its radicalization can contribute to destabilizing political dynamics. In response, European policymakers and scholars are actively seeking strategies to mitigate the rise of polarizing nationalist rhetoric. The author argues that the political legacy of Gaullism offers a potential framework for reconciling national sovereignty with European cooperation and for fostering a more balanced and inclusive political trajectory for the continent
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS FOLLOWING THE LOWER EDUCATIONAL STANDARD IN THE 3RD GRADE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL
No full textThe article discusses the assessment of knowledge in students enrolled in the program with a lower educational standard (NIS), with a focus on the third grade of primary school. It presents the specific features required for differentiated and developmentally appropriate assessment in accordance with the individual needs of children. Assessment in NIS programs must be designed to be multidimensional and inclusive, where formative assessment, clear performance criteria, and the use of various learning aids and approaches adapted to the cognitive and social abilities of students play a significant role.
This study is theoretically grounded in the formative assessment literature, emphasizing feedback, self-assessment, and clear success criteria as levers for learning (Black & Wiliam, 1998; Hattie & Timperley, 2007; Shute, 2008). Alignment with Bloom’s revised taxonomy ensures that tasks address multiple cognitive processes from remembering to creating (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001). The use of visual rubrics and multimodal supports is consistent with evidence that explicit criteria and well-designed artifacts improve students’ understanding of quality and support equitable participation (Brookhart, 2013; Mayer, 2009).
The article emphasizes the importance of understanding assessment as a pedagogical tool to support learning and encourages the establishment of an inclusive and supportive learning environment for students with special needs
КОНЦЕПТОТ НА ОБЈЕКТИВНА АРБИТРАЖНОСТ ВО ПРАВНИОТ СИСТЕМ НА РЕПУБЛИКА СЕВЕРНА МАКЕДОНИЈА: АКТУЕЛНИ ТРЕНДОВИ И ПРЕДЛОЗИ ЗА РЕФОРМА
No full textПредмет на анализа на овој труд е концептот на објективна
арбитражност во правниот систем на Република Северна Македонија, но и
компаративно. Имено, за еден спор да биде доверен на решавање пред арбитража
потребно е тој да биде арбитрабилен, т.е. подобен за решавање по пат на арбитража.
Сосема е легитимно за определен вид спорови државата да го задржи монополот на
судење од страна на државните судови на начин што истите ќе ги класифицира како
неарбитражни, односно неподобни да бидат решавани во постапка на арбитража.
Современите тенденции се во насока на напуштање на исклучивата судска надлежност
како аспект на објективната арбитражност, но сè уште има правни системи, меѓу кои и
правниот систем на Република Северна Македонија, кој истата ја предвидува како пречка
за договарање на арбитражата. Во таа насока, целта на овој труд е да даде приказ на
правната рамка со која се уредува концептот на објективна арбитражност во правниот
систем на Република Северна Македонија, но и да даде препораки за подобрување на
истата. Исто така, целта на овој труд е и преку сеопфатна анализа на компаративната
судска практика, пред сè судската практика на САД, да се прикаже влијанието кое таа го
има извршено врз проширувањето на опсегот на спорови кои можат да бидат изнесени
пред арбитража, тренд кој треба да го следи и арбитражното законодавство на Република
Северна Македонија.
Клучни зборови: арбитражни спорови, исклучива судска надлежност,
интелектуална сопственост, антимонополски спорови
ПРИМЕНА НА МЕЃУНАРОДНОТО ПРАВО ЗА ЧОВЕКОВИ ПРАВА ВО СЛУЧАИ НА ВООРУЖЕН СУДИР И ФАКТИЧКА ОКУПАЦИЈА
No full textПримената на меѓународното право за правата на човекот не треба да
биде исклучена, туку исклучива, во контекст на современите безбедносни закани кога се
повеќе се губи линијата помеѓу мирот и војната. Исклучителен е предизвикот пред кој е
поставено меѓународното право за правата на човекот во случаите на борба со новите
современи закани од асиметричен карактер, како и неговата апликабилност во тие
ситуации, со оглед на фактот дека некои автори се обидуваат да ја негираат примената
на меѓународното право за правата на човекот во овие ситуации и се обидуваат тоа да го
заменат со исклучува примена на меѓународното право за вооружен судир. Ова
претставува нова и недоволно истражена тема во областа на меѓународното право, која
ја разбранува светската јавност по ликвидацијата на Осама бин Ладен, а доби сосема нова
димензија со експлозивните пејџери со кои беа ликвидирани припадници на Хезболах на
територијата на Либан. Сепак, примената на меѓународното право за вооружени
конфликти, не ја исклучува примената на меѓународното право за правата на човекот,
особено на корпусот на права кои се од недрогабилен карактер и двата меѓународно-
правни режими не се антагностични по својата природа.
Клучни зборови: меѓународно право, човекови права, тероризам, војна,
окупација
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS: A CASE STUDY OF A KINDERGARTEN USING HEAT PUMPS AND PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
No full textEnergy efficiency improvements and renewable energy integration in public buildings represent a significant step toward reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the energy performance of a kindergarten in Macedonia, with a total area of 1 200 m², an annual electricity consumption of 25 000 kWh, and a yearly consumption of 16 700 liters of extra light fuel oil for heating. The objective is to identify the most efficient and cost-effective solution by comparing three scenarios. The first scenario considers the current situation, where electricity is procured from the Universal Supplier, and heating relies on extra light fuel oil. An alternative option is analyzed, considering electricity procurement on the free market. The second scenario involves heating with a 150 kW heat pump powered by electricity procured from the free market and the Universal Supplier. The third scenario includes the installation of a 40 kWp photovoltaic (PV) system on the kindergarten\u27s roof, utilizing the generated electricity for self-consumption, selling surplus electricity, heating with a 150 kW heat pump, and procuring additional electricity as needed. The study evaluates the return on investment (ROI) and operational cost savings for each scenario, with and without accounting for the reduction in CO₂ emissions based on the European carbon pricing mechanism. The results demonstrate the economic feasibility and environmental benefits of transitioning to renewable energy and energy-efficient heating systems in public institutions
