Probabilities for Determined Precipitation Amounts Appearance and Temperature Sums > 10Oc During a Vegetative Period of the Year BALWOIS 2004 Ohrid, FY Republic of Macedonia, 25-29 May 2004 Probabilities For Determined Precipitation Amounts Appearance And Temperature Sums > 10oC During A Vegetative Period Of The Year BLAGA DIMITROVSKA, ZORAN DIMITROVSKI, PECE RISTEVSKI Hydrometeorological Service of Macedonia Skopje,Macedonia Abstract In this paper are given probabilities for determined precipitation amounts appearance and temperature sums > 10oC (in percentages) for fifteen measure stations in the Republic of Macedonia during a vegetative period of the year (from 1 of April until 31 of October) and for the period 1951-2000. Using the precipitation amounts and sums of temperatures > 10oC during a vegetative period of the year, we calculated hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) by Seljaninov for each year of the period series 1951 – 2000. S. Otorepec categorizes drought for each measure station using HTC values and criterion. Calculating probabilities for determined precipitation amounts appearance and occurrence of temperature sum > 10oC, are very important for water balance calculation, irrigation norms etc. Key words: Hydrothermal Coefficient (HTC); drought; arid; temperature sum Introduction Probabilities for determined precipitation amounts appearance and temperature sums > 10oC (in percentages) during a vegetative period are essential for water and thermal regime for any country. This paper, analyze appearance of predetermined precipitation amounts and sums of temperatures > 10oC during a vegetative period of the year for the year series 1951-2000 from 14 meteo stations in Republic of Macedonia. Including the sums of active temperatures and precipitations, Seljaninov’s formula calculates hydrothermal coefficient (HTC). Arid criterions determined by Silva Otorepec and Seljaninov establish measurement point’s classification. Such a long series of years enables accurate class determination for each measurement point. On the other hand it helps to obtain agroclimatological area constellation for our country. Precipitation amounts appearance probability Water quantity in soil depends of precipitation, which have to supply permanent influx of easy receptive water for a normal growth and development of the plants. Annual precipitation amounts are insufficient for an agricultural irrigation effect, but precipitation distribution during vegetative period and irrigational (absorbable) conditions are essential. For a small area, appropriate precipitation disposition analyze has to be made during the vegetative period. So, information (data) about probability for appearance of discrete precipitation amounts is necessary for calculating water balance and establishes irrigation norms. Precipitation supply of 25%, 50%, 75%, and even 90% in some cases, takes advantage especially. Tab. 1 represents precipitation supplies sum of 50%, 75% and 90% and also maximal, minimal and average precipitation amount registries for a series of 50 year (1951-2000) during the vegetative period (from 01.April until 31. October), for each meteo station. As a result of Tab. 1 the highest precipitation sum (no differ if we take in account 25% or 90% e.c. 25 years in 100 years or 90 years in 100 years) is provided in Kr. Palanka of 480 mm and 290 mm. The lowest precipitation sum with supplies of 25% and 50% is attained in Kavadarci and Tetovo (200 mm) and very lowest water supply of 90% attained in Tetovo (150 mm).

  • World Bank Document
    E2120 EMP Checklist for Construction and Rehabilitation Activities General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk topologies, such as school and hospital rehabilitation activities, the ECA Public Disclosure Authorized safeguards team developed an alternative to the current EMP format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to preparing EMPs for minor rehabilitation or small-scale works in building construction, in the health, education and public services sectors. The checklist-type format has been developed to provide “example good practices” and designed to be user friendly and compatible with safeguard requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical core mitigation approaches to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts. It is accepted that this format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to meet World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it would be applicable as guidelines for the small works contractors and constitute an Public Disclosure Authorized integral part of bidding documents for contractors carrying out small civil works under Bank-financed projects. The checklist has three sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project and specifies in terms the institutional and legislative aspects, the technical project content, the potential need for capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. This section could be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information can be supplemented when needed. Part 2 includes an environmental and social screening checklist, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format.

  • Corridor VIII – Railway Construction from the Black Sea Coast to the Adriatic Coast
    February, 2021 North Macedonia Corridor VIII – Railway Construction from the Black Sea Coast to the Adriatic Coast Infrastructure Hot The rail link along Corridor VIII is progressing. The total length of the route to be completed towards the Bulgarian border is 89 km, and will be divided into three sections and should be completed by 2023 at the latest. For the construction of the railroad Kumanovo-Beljakovce, EBRD provided the funding in the amount of EUR 46 million. It was expected that Kumanovo- Beljakovce would be completed by the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021. However, the construction of Kumanovo-Beljakovce stopped after the contract was terminated by the contractor. The Government decided to cancel the tender procedure for a contractor for the second phase. Instead, a new public call will be published, only this time, both the first and second phases of construction will be covered with this tender procedure. The section from Beljakovce to Kriva Palanka, 34 km in length, should cost EUR 140 million, financed by the EBRD. Signalling, telecommunications and surveillance will be tendered separately. The third section, 24 km from Kriva Palanka to Bulgaria, is in the final stages of preparation of project documentation. The construction costs for this section are estimated at EUR 405 million. Authorities announced that all three sections of the railway with Bulgaria are estimated at over EUR 580 million. A team of experts from North Macedonia and Bulgaria has been formed to cooperate on the project for the Corridor VIII railway. It is expected that by 2025, the railroad line to Bulgaria will be completed.

Travel conditions on the existing road are poor, with a maximum speed of 50 km/h along most of its length, inappropriate drainage and rest areas, as well as several sharp curves. The works involve both rehabilitation and reconstruction, expanding the road to add a third lane, including on three existing bridges. This will allow for more efficient and safer driving for the people living along the Kriva Palanka – Deve Bair route as well as for those transiting to and from Bulgaria. The section to be rehabilitated and expanded under this project is part of the Government’s plan to modernise fully the route, with works close to completion and/or already planned on a significant part of Corridor VIII (e.g. Kumanovo – Rankovce road rehabilitation, Rankovce – Kriva Palanka expressway, Ki?evo – Ohrid motorway). The project is at implementation stage, with detailed design, urban, environmental and construction permits already secured.

The variability of fruit characteristics of traditional pear Karamanka in different ecological conditions. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 856-859 In this paper, we present the results of the phenological characteristics (flowering and ripening time), fruit characteristics (fruit mass, fruit length, fruit width, fruit hardness, length of fruit stalk and number of seeds in fruit) and chemical character- istics of fruits (soluble dry matter, total sugar and total acids) of a traditional pear variety ‘Karamanka’. For this study, a survey was undertaken in different ecological regions of Macedonia i.e. Skopje, Kumanovo, Kratovo, Kriva Palanka and Resen. The ‘Karamanka’ pear flowers in the first half of April. The period of fruit ripening starts in the second half of August and lasts until the first half of September. The earliest time of flowering and ripening was found to be in the regions of Skopje and Ku- manovo. The pear ‘Karamanka’ has medium-sized fruits and the largest fruits were detected in the regions of Kumanovo and Resen.

  • Under Accent of the City Tetovo's Speech
    DOI 10.20544/HORIZONS.A.19.1.16.P25 UDC 811.163.3’27 THE SPECIFICS OF THE REDUCED /Ă/ UNDER ACCENT OF THE CITY TETOVO’S SPEECH (HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC 1 APPROACHES) MA Dijana Petrovska University of Tetovo, [email protected] ABSTRACT The reduction of vowels under accent is not a common aspect in the Macedonian dialects. The specific of the city Tetovo’s speech is exactly in the identification of the social phenomena reduction of the vowels under accent. It is a result of phonetic reasons (dynamic accent, fast speech) or imitation of pronouncement of a prestigious language. The reduction appears in the beginning of the word, in the middle of the word and at the end of the word. Under the influence of reduction, the vowel /а/ in the city Tetovo’s speech in separate lexemes crosses in the semi-sound /ă/ in the syllable which is under accent.

  • USAID Local Government Reform Project USAID/Macedonia
    A report prepared for the USAID Local Government Reform Project Development Alternatives, Inc. 3330-103 Skopje, Macedonia In collaboration with USAID/Macedonia EEU-I-00-99-00012-00 #801 FINAL REPORT ON BUDGET HEARINGS LGRP 2002 In order to increase and improve the communication between the local government and the citizens and to involve the citizens in the work of the municipality the CP team of the LGRP assisted the municipalities in organizing public hearings on the municipal budget. This was done following last year’s hearing organised in one pilot city (Kumanovo) and within the context of creating a responsible, more effective and accountable local government. In fact, public hearings are an important tool of local government. Events such as these establish trust between the people and local government, which is important for creating a stable democracy. In Macedonia the budget hearings took place in 12 selected municipalities – Saraj, Debar, Prilep, Bitola, Suto Orizari, Karpos, Kavadarci, Kocani, Kumanovo, Gostivar, Kriva Palanka and Miravci. The public hearing on the budgets of the municipality usually took place in the town halls of the municipalities. In all 11 cases prior to the event brochures explaining the revenues and expenditures of the municipal budget as well as the funds (for construction of roads, communal fund etc.) were distributed to the citizens of the municipality preparing them for the hearing. Additionally, the brochures included information on the functions of the units of local self-government. Where necessary, the brochures were bi-lingual (Macedonian, Albanian, Romani) spreading in this way the message of bringing communities closer.
