Motives for visiting the national parks of Serbia. eco.mont (Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management)|eco.mont Vol. 13 No. 2 13 2|
No full textThis paper explores motives for visiting national parks in Serbia. The results were obtained from the responses of 840 visitors who were surveyed while they were staying in Serbia’s national parks during June 2020. The aim of the paper is to examine whether the motives for visiting the parks correlate with visitors’ sociodemographic characteristics: gender, age, educational level and employment status. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences in motives to visit national parks in relation to gender, while among other sociodemographic characteristics such as employment status, education and age, the correlation is negligible. The scientific contribution of the paper lies in the possibility of applying the research results elsewhere, to help understand visitors’ motives, as well as create attractive tourist offers in national parks based on sustainable development

No full textPunta di Zambrone is a Bronze Age settlement situated about 8km northeast of Tropea in southern Calabria (province of Vibo Valentia). The site is strategically located on a granite promontory projecting into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The purpose of its foundation must have been related to maritime activities, as the site could visually control large parts of the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy, the Aeolian archipelago and the sea north of Sicily. The earliest settlement phase dates back to an early phase of the Early Bronze Age, i.e. the end of the 3rd millennium BCE. This paper presents the stratigraphic evidence of the last and major settlement period dated to the Recent Bronze Age and gives an overview of the artefact categories found in the strata of that period. Punta di Zambrone flourished during the 13th century and came to an abrupt end around 1200 BCE. Following an initial geophysical prospection, various sectors were excavated between 2011 and 2013 by an international team. The most important Recent Bronze Age feature is the fortification ditch protecting the settlement along its accessible eastern and southeastern side. When the inhabitants abandoned the settlement, they filled in the ditch and obliterated the fortification completely. In its northern part, the final infill contained huge quantities of ash. These ashy layers were very rich in artefacts made of many different materials. In addition, there were plenty of archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains. The archaeological evidence obtained from the fortification ditch thus provides ideal conditions for reconstructing life in the settlement during its ultimate phase of existence. We set out the different possibilities for interpreting the formation of those ashes and their subsequent deposition inside the ditch. Punta di Zambrone stands out in the southern Tyrrhenian region due to its strong evidence for intense Aegean contacts, indicated among other things by imported pottery, metal objects, jewellery and ivory, mostly found in the ashes, but also in the uppermost silty layers in the central part of the ditch
Transport Ratios of the Kinetic Alfvén Mode in Space Plasmas
No full textFluctuation properties of the kinetic Alfvén mode, such as polarization of the wave electric and magnetic field around the mean magnetic field, parallel fluctuation to the mean field, ratios of the electric to magnetic field, and density fluctuations are analytically estimated by constructing the dielectric tensor of plasma based on the linear Vlasov theory. The dielectric tensor contains various fluid-picture processes in the lowest order, including polarization drift, Hall current, and diamagnetic current. Major discoveries from the dielectric tensor method in the kinetic Alfvén mode study are (1) identification of the mechanism of the field rotation sense reversal as a result of competition between the Hall and diamagnetic currents, (2) behavior of the parallel magnetic field fluctuation (in the compressive sense). The analytic expression of transport ratios serves as a diagnostic tool to study and identify the kinetic Alfvén mode in space plasma observations in the inner heliospheric domain
