Ramšak, Andreja, 1966- 291767552 2 E M B S 5 2 PIRAN, SLOVENIA Welcoming Address Dear Colleagues: The 52nd European Marine Biology Symposium – the 52nd EMBS will be held in Piran (Slovenia) for the very first time at the premises near the Marine Biology Station Piran. In 1969 the Marine Biology Station was established as an independent research group, and later joined the Institute of Biology, which is now National Institute of Biology. Because the EMBS is appreciated among researchers at the Marine Biology Station, the organisation of the 52nd EMBS was undertaken with pride and enthusiasm. The tradition of the EMBS is respected since it is a symposium that addresses broad issues. This approach makes it attractive for a wider audience and thus stimulates the exchange of knowledge and advances in the science of marine biology in Europe and abroad. The idea behind the symposium, which began in the mid of 60’s by Otto Kinne, Director of Biologische Anstalt Helgoland, has grown dramatically and lives through the EMBS. The sessions of the symposium have been selected in order to present novel and interesting topics in marine biology. This year’s EMBS will start with a session on Marine Symbiosis, which stresses the importance of living together in different associations, and uncovers a diversity of associations by using omics tools and experimental approaches. The subsequent sessions will guide us from new achievements in Imaging in Marine Biology essential for adequate description and understanding of life processes in the marine environment, to Benthic-pelagic coupling. This session presents physical-chemical and biological processes shared by the two environments, which regulate global-scale bio-geochemical cycling. The session Marine metagenomics explores advances in sequencing technology. High throughput sequencing enables rapid detection of the impacts of climate changes, uncovers biodiversity, characterises food webs, and is also the foundation of marine biotechnology for improvements in fisheries and aquaculture. Special attention is given to Mesophotic ecosystems and the exploration of marine-derived biomolecules in invertebrates and their symbionts. This topic will take place under the General session. The important feature of the EMBS is that there is only one session at time, and so attendees can follow all sessions. This gives researchers the opportunity to become acquainted with a variety of topics which might otherwise be neglected or overlooked. As for communication, this organisation allows for an exchange of ideas and for the making of contacts that are more personal. The social component is also pronounced through the funny and traditional ‘Yellow Submarine’ competition. In this extremely busy time, this is very valuable because it provides the opportunity to strengthen our research community through social events, and also promotes knowledge transfer, and thus progress in research. The education and support of young researchers has always been an important issue of the EMBS, and is also recognised by the Marine Research Stations Network (MARS), and the Marine Biology Association (MBA). The MARS and MBA awards reward their excellence in research work. 3 E M B S 5 2 PIRAN, SLOVENIA We owe gratitude to our sponsors, who provided financial support, and some also contributed to the 52nd EMBS programme with presentations. I would like to thank the members of the Scientific and Organising Committees for their professional work and devotion to fulfil the EMBS mission, for making this event a pleasant exchange of scientific knowledge, and for opportunity to make new friendships and collaborations.

Yellow Submarine Competition In 2017, in the Yellow Submarine Competition, we shall witness “The rise of the sediment” in the mysterious and unexplored surroundings of the Symposium venue on Tuesday at 17:30. Bring all the courage, exploration spirit and protective swimwear. Explorers should submit their application to the expedition by no later than 12:00 on Tuesday at Yellow submarine black board next to the registration desk. Details will be announced at the Symposium. Be prepared, be very prepared! Symposium dinner The symposium dinner is organized on Thursday, September 28, 2017, at the VINAKOPER Wine Cellar, Šmarska cesta 1, Koper. Local food will be served. EXCURSION On Wednesday, September 27, 2017 afternoon we'll have an excursion to the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park. At Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, the past and present still walk hand in hand. The ancient method of salt-making, learnt ages ago by the Piran salt-workers from their teachers, the salters from Pag Island, is still something special, even in the entire Mediterranean. Not only that the traditional manual gathering of salt in salt fields is a special feature of the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean Slovenia, but it also provides for conditions that enable conservation of the most significant natural heritage of the Sečovlje Salina. According to the available written records, the Sečovlje salt-pans are more than 700 years old, and even much older according to some other sources. Once upon a time, salt-pans were quite common along the mouths of the rivers in the Gulf of Trieste and Istria.

  • Health and Environment in Europe: Progress Assessment
    Health and Environment in Europe: Progress Assessment ABSTRACT This report describes the progress made by the WHO European Member States in improving their health and the environment situation over the last 20 years. The assessment focuses on the aspects of health related to clean water and air, to environments supporting safe mobility and physical activity, chemical safety, noise and safety at work. These are the environment and health issues arising from the four regional priority goals of the Children’s Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE), agreed at the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in 2004. The information collected by the European Environment and Health Information System forms the basis for the analysis. The report also presents the public governance and healthy public policy aspects of national policies on environment and health. The implementation of the CEHAPE in countries, its impact and challenges related to it are summarized using the information collected through the web-based survey on CEHAPE conducted in November 2009.

This work is the first study to research the embryology and larval development of this species of razor clam, using light and scanning electron microscopy. A new method, consisting of changing water levels using tide simulations with brief Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/mollus/article/74/2/103/1161011 by guest on 23 September 2021 dry periods, was developed to induce spawning in this species. The blastula was the first motile stage and in the gastrula stage the vitelline coat was lost. The shell field appeared in the late gastrula. The trocho- phore developed by about 19 h post-fertilization (hpf) (198C). At 30 hpf the D-shaped larva showed a developed digestive system consisting of a mouth, a foregut, a digestive gland followed by an intestine and an anus. Larvae spontaneously settled after 20 days at a length of 378 mm.

    THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy.

Ultrastructural changes were studied and timed for the first time from planktonic larval shells to two-year-old adult shells. During the first two weeks following fertilization, the prodissoconch-I shell structure is undifferentiated and uniformly granular. The prodissoconch-II stage which develops during the next two weeks acquires a columnar organization. Metamorphosis is characterized by the formation of the dissoconch shell with all the elements of an adult shell and marks the onset of the development of the nacre. Nucleation starts within an organic matrix from point sources forming ‘crystal germs’ which expand circularly until they fuse. The orientation of the contour lines of scalariform growth margins indicates the direction of shell growth. Five zones of growth (Z) were characterized. One-month-old shells show a homogenous zone, without particular figures (Z0). The contour lines are initially parallel to the growing shell edge (Z1), later becoming labyrinthic (finger prints, Z2) or perpendicular to the edge (Z3).
