    Innocent Prisoner The Plight of Elephants Kept in Solitary Confinement in Europe 2013 Cover Photo Top: ©Daily Mail. Hand of Desperation – Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna with Pole Pole at London Zoo, 1983. Bottom: ©BFF. Hand of Hope? – Virginia McKenna with Twiggy at Belgrade Zoo, 2013 Foreword Although what follows here is a ‘report’, what some might regard as a dry presentation of facts, figures, dates and statistics, it is far more than that. Innocent Prisoner is about elephants – sensitive, emotional, social, family animals – and it has a particularly special significance for me. Thirty years ago this month, a teenage African elephant was ‘put to sleep’ at London Zoo. Her name was Pole Pole and my late husband Bill Travers and I had met her in 1968 when she joined us in Tsavo National Park, Kenya, where we were making a film for young people about elephants, An Elephant Called Slowly. Pole Pole had been torn from her wild family as a two year old – she was destined for London Zoo, as a gift from the then Kenyan Government. Filming over, we asked the authorities if we could buy her and give her to Senior Game Warden, David Sheldrick, and his wife Daphne. Our request was granted but we were told that another little elephant would have to be caught. One way or another, the Government’s promise to the Zoo would be honoured. Unthinkable. Pole Pole came to London Zoo. Fifteen years later, on October 17th 1983, she was put down. In the 30 years that have elapsed, many things have changed.

  • Prosopomorphic Vessels from Moesia Superior1
    S. Nikolić, A. Raičković, Prosopomorphic Vessels from Moesia Superior Starinar LVIII/2008, 135-153 SNEŽANA NIKOLIĆ, Institute of Archaeology, Belgrade ANGELINA RAIČKOVIĆ, Institute of Archaeology, Belgrade PROSOPOMORPHIC VESSELS FROM MOESIA SUPERIOR1 UDC: Received: February 19, 2009 DOI: Accepted: May 04, 2009 Short communication Abstract: The prosopomorphic vessels from Moesia Superior had the form of beakers varying in outline but similar in size. They were wheel-thrown, mould-made or manufactured by using a combination of wheel-throwing and mould-made appliqués. Given that face vessels are considerably scarcer than other kinds of pottery, more than fifty finds from Moesia Superior make an enviable collection. In this and other provinces face vessels have been recovered from military camps, civilian settlements and necropolises, which suggests that they served more than one purpose. It is generally accepted that the faces-masks gave a protective role to the vessels, be it to protect the deceased or the family, their house and possessions. More than forty of all known finds from Moesia Superior come from Viminacium, a half of that number from necropolises. Although tangible evidence is lacking, there must have been several local workshops producing face vessels. The number and technological characteristics of the discovered vessels suggest that one of the workshops is likely to have been at Viminacium, an important pottery-making centre in the second and third centuries. Key words: The prosopomorphic vessels, Viminacium, Moesia Superior, 2nd /3rd century AD. he main characteristic of prosopomor- functioned as burial urns.4 These curious vessels show phic vessels is that they display a human various shapes, manufacturing techniques and sizes, Tface or basic facial features: the eyes, but are considerably less frequent than most Roman eyebrows, nose and mouth, quite often also a beard, forms.

ID BROJ: 172311820 URBAN REGULARISATION OF BELGRADE, 1867: TRACE vs. ERASURE A B S T R A C T A gradual urban transformation of Belgrade from Oriental into Occidental city in the nineteenth century in a way prefigured its political change of status from an Ottoman Empire border town into a capital of a European nation state (i.e. the Principality of Serbia internationally recognised in 1878). This paper will explore this process, and will focus on the analysis of the plan of regularisation of Belgrade (1867), by Emilijan Josimović, the first Serbian urbanist. Josimović’s plan laid down proposals for a total reconstruction of the Ottoman urban structure, and consequent transformation of Belgrade into European planned city. Radical though it was, the Plan gave urbanistic rationale and formalisation to what already lasted as an informal process of re-urbanisation parallel to the liberation from the crumbling Turkish rule and the related political processes. Ljiljana Blagojević 27 University of Belgrade - Faculty of Architecture S A J _ 2009 _ 1 _ Belgrade’s position at the confluence of the river Sava into the Danube, is marked historically by the condition of constantly shifting borders of divided and conflicting empires. The river Sava marked a geographical and political borderline from the fourth century division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Empires, until the mid-twentieth century Third Reich’s remapping of Europe.

On the night before our wedding, the lobby bar of the Square Nine hotel was bathed in a marmalade lamplight, as if time were suspended. I still recall the bear hugs of my arriving friends, coats slapped, hands warmed with foam-clouded hot chocolates; the glorious mayhem that followed. Later that evening, at the Tri Sešira, a 19th-century tavern in bohemian Skadarlija, wooden boards descended as if from the air, piled high with mountain cheeses, kajmak (the love child of butter and clotted cream) and processional meats with dense cuts of pork and lamb. The home-cooked scents wrapped themselves around us, as did a ragtag of gypsy musicians, ever more raucous, on beaten-up accordions and guitars. The Serbian capital isn’t a showstopper; it didn’t grab me by the heartstrings the first time I arrived here as a reporter 15 years ago. But over years of returning, the things that failed to charm me before – things I simply couldn’t understand – now make me wonder how I ever lived without them.

The Project ARCHEST was designed to improve the presentation of the site and to, consequently, attract new visitors. The main objectives were support- ing the archaeology-related creative sectors to operate transnationally and to increase the knowledge of common Roman history through the most important archaeological sites. Additionally, there was an objective to increase the audience with an integrated approach and modern technology, transforming a non-audience into a new audience and changing the opinion that archaeology is something boring or too elitist. The results of the project have a huge appeal to ordinary audiences and support a better understanding and acceptance of Roman civilization through clear images which, at the same time, do not contradict the scientific concept but, rather, aim to support it. keyWords: 3d reConstruCtIon, VIRTUAL reaLIty, VIMInaCIuM, arCHest.

Основна претпоставка заснивала се на очекивањима да ће се установити непосредна повезаност гимнастичког и соколског система вежбања са спортом који се рађао. У истраживању је примењен историјски метод. Резултати у раду указују на значајну улогу грађанских гимнастичких друштава – соколских („Соко“) и витешких („Душан Силни“) у појави, полуларизацији и развоју модерног спорта крајем 19. и почетком 20. века у Србији. Сва ова друштва, без обзира на име, у намери да одрже своје и привуку ново чланство, предвиђала су својим уредбама и статутима, поред гимнастике која је била окосница програма телесног вежбања, прихватање и увођење других спортских активности и оснивање клубова. Новооснована „гимнастичка“ – „спортска одељења“ у борењу, стрељаштву, клизању, јахању, пливању, веслању, велосипеду, лоптању, развијала су се и прерастала у спортске клубове. Њиховим издвајањем из матичних гимнастичких друштава омогућен је бржи развој појединачних спортских грана, које се сматрају првим модерним спортовима у Србији.

  • Activities in Belgrade
    Activities in Belgrade Sights to see 1. Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan Park) The number one must-see location in the city. Some 115 battles have been fought over impressive Kalemegdan. Over the centuries, the citadel has been destroyed more than 40 times. The building of the fortification began in Celtic times, which the Romans extended onto the flood plains during their settlement of 'Singidunum', Belgrade's Roman name. Much of what stands today is the product of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian and TurKish reconstructions. The fort's bloody history, discernible despite today's plethora of jolly cafes and funfairs, only maKes Kalemegdan all the more fascinating. Entering from Knez Mihailova, go through the 18th- century Karadjordje Gate to reach the Upper Town (Gornji grad) of the fortress. From the Stambol Gate (1750), you will reach the Military Museum and the 27.5 metre high ClocK Tower. Further along, you will see a small bricK octagon; this is the 1784 Ali Pasha's Turbeh (tomb), one of Belgrade's few well- preserved Islamic monuments. The Roman Well is nearby, a mysterious 60m deep hole (more a cistern than a well) of dubious origin and shrouded in horrifying legends; apparently the well even managed to creep out a visiting Alfred HitchcocK! Looming beside it is the Victor Monument, a symbol of Belgrade erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia’s victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the BalKan Wars and WWI. This 14 metre high monument is the city’s most recognisable landmarK and famous Belgrade attraction. The plateau around the monument is always crowded with tourists and Belgrade natives, partly because of the breath-taKing view over the confluence of the two rivers that flow through Belgrade, and the beauty of this landmarK as part of the historic Belgrade Fortress.

  • Sexual Selection Can Reduce Mutational Load in Drosophila Subobscura
    UDC 575 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1302537V Original scientific paper SEXUAL SELECTION CAN REDUCE MUTATIONAL LOAD IN DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA Marija SAVI Ć VESELINOVI Ć1, Sofija PAVKOVI Ć-LU ČIĆ1, Zorana KURBALIJA NOVI ČIĆ2, Mihailo JELI Ć1, Marko AN ĐELKOVI Ć1,2,3 1 Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 3 Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia Veselinovi ć Savi ć M., S. Pavkovi ć Lu čić, Z. Kurbalija Novi čić, M. Jeli ć and M. An đelkovi ć (2013): Sexual selection can reduce mutational load in Drosophila subobscura. Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 537-552. According to theoretical predictions sexual selection can reduce mutational load through male mating success. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in matings, compared to the males of low genetic quality, thus in this way females can prevent deleterious alleles to be transmitted to the next generation. We tested this hypothesis through set up of two experimental groups from same genetic pool, where in one group genetic quality was manipulated by ionizing radiation. Within each group opportunity for choosing mates was imposed: males and females had no choice or had multiple choice. Mutational load was measured through the variability of different fitness components: fecundity and egg-to-adult viability. Our results indicate that sexual selection can reduce mutational load, only for fecundity. Group with the presence of female choice exhibited higher fecundity than group in which sexual selection was experimentally eliminated, but only in “irradiated” group. There was no overall difference in egg-to-adult viability between different sexual selection regimes in any of the group.
