  • 1 Second Field School in Ivano-Frankivsk
    Second Field School in Ivano-Frankivsk REPORT: The Second Field School Ivano-Frankivsk Region, Ukraine July 21-August 10, 2010 Prepared by Dr. Maria Kaspina, Dr. Boris Khaimovich & Dr. Vladimir Levin Not a single taxi driver in Ivano-Frankivsk knows where the synagogue is located, although its massive building stands only 50 meters away from the central square bustling with people at its shops and restaurants. The once vibrant Jewish community of Eastern Galicia, numbering half a million people, was not only eradicated by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust, but it has also faded from the memory of local inhabitants. The aim of our field school and the entire Jewish History in Galicia and Bukovina project is to document, collect and revive remnants - physical as well as intangible - that can still be recorded, preserved and revived after 65 years of Jewish absence from the region. Towards this aim, the Second Field School arrived at Ivano-Frankivsk (formerly Stanisławów) during the summer of 2010. The Second Field School in the Ivano-Frankivsk Region took place from July 21 to August 10, 2010. It was organized by the Jewish History in Galicia and Bukovina project and the Moscow 1 Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization Sefer. Fifteen students under the guidance of five scholars engaged in the documentation of Jewish history. The school was composed of three teams: one documenting Jewish cemeteries, another recording oral history and ethnographical materials from the local residents and the third team surveying towns and villages in the region. The complex approach applied towards the remnants of Jewish history allows for exploration in the fullest possible way.

The paper is a contribution to ecology and chorology ofAconitum in high-mountain zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians. It was confirmed that genusAconitum in the Chornogora mountain range is represented by 14 taxa, and 7 more taxa were listed as potential for this region. These taxa belong to 3 subgenera and are divided on 4 main biomorphological groups delimited on the base of their habitat, life form, ecology and altitudinal distribution. The soil and vegetation types for all taxa have been identified and the maps of their distribution have been prepared. The most influent threats and their categories were identified.

  • The Role of Tourism in the Economy of the State and Regions
    “Экономические науки”/13.Региональная экономика. E. Shkuro 2nd year student, Alfred Nobel University, Dnipro, Ukraine H. Miasoid PhD in Pedagogy, MA in Tourism, The Department of International Tourism, Hotel and Restaurant Business and Language Training, Alfred Nobel University, Dnipro, Ukraine THE ROLE OF TOURISM IN THE ECONOMY OF THE STATE AND REGIONS Tourism is a very developed sector of the economy and one of the main components of income in some countries. It also has influence on the development of economy and global cooperation. Tourism as a sphere of economic activity has a great importance and a number of characteristic features. Tourism serves the interests of individual, society in its entirety, and is a source of income both at micro- and macroeconomic levels. Tourism is one of the main factors that creates additional places for work, accelerates the development of road and hotel construction, stimulates production of all types of vehicles, contributes to the preservation of folk crafts and national culture of regions and countries. A positive phenomenon is the fact when the amount of currency imported by tourists into the country exceeds the amount of its export. Tourism is the fundamental basis of the economies of many developed and developing countries. The basis of the modern tourist market, both qualitatively and quantitatively, is paid by employees’ vacations. Recently the role of business trips, and also journeys of persons of retirement age, has been increasing. Volume of influence of international tourism around the world can be estimated by the following indicators: 1. Economic growth and social progress led to an increase in the volume of not only business trips, but also trips with educational goals.

SUMMARY The paper introduces GIS-based maps of the geomorphological and phytogeographical division of the Ukrainian Carpathians (a part of Eastern Carpathian Mts.), which were developed for routine use in biogeography and based on the consolidation of the existing publications. The map of the geomorphological division includes 57 OGUs (operational geographic units), and the map of the phytogeographical division – 18 OGUs of the lowest rank. Geomorphological units are supported with available synonyms, which should help in work with different topic-related Ukrainian publications. Both maps follow strict hierarchical classification and are briefly discussed.

  • Western Carpathians, Poland)
    Geological Quarterly, 2006, 50 (1): 169–194 Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland) Nestor OSZCZYPKO Oszczypko N. (2006) — Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland). Geol. Quart., 50 (1): 169–194. Warszawa. The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the east- ern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1) Middle Juras- sic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Creta- ceous-Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-Early Miocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initi- ated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin.

Tourists from Ukraine have better opportunities than before to travel to many European countries, and tourist migration contributes to the integration of peoples, building good-neighbourly relations and tolerance, economic, cultural, scientific and other forms of cooperation.

E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0439-6642 Abstract. Chornohora is the highest mountain ridge in the Ukrainian Carpathians with 6 peaks of an altitude over 2,000 m above sea level (Hoverla is the highest peak, 2,061 m a.s.l). its climate is explored less than other mountain ridges in Europe. The massif is a climatic barrier for air mass- es on NW-SE line. To describe the climate of this area data from the weather station at Pozhyzhevs- ka alpine meadow for the years 1961-2010 were used. The seasonal and long-term variability of air temperature, atmospheric precipitation and snow cover were investigated on the background of air circulation types. The results show that general features of Chornohora climate depend both, on el- Key words: evation above sea level and on air circulation. Lowest temperature is observed at N-NE circulation Chornohora, and highest precipitation – at western air inflow. Long-term changes of examined climate elements Eastern Carpathians, in Chornohora show significant increase in mean (0.13°/10 years) and minimum (0.22°C/10 years) air air circulation, temperature as well as in snow cover depth and number of snowy days. mountain climate, climate changes Introduction were published in yearbooks of “Kosmos” journal (Szulc 1911, 1912).
