Serbian Experience in Radon Measurements at the Workplaces Regional Workshop on Radon in Workplaces as an Element of a National Radon Action Plan, Tallinn, Estonia, 23-27 May 2016 Serbian experience in radon measurements at the workplaces Radon Working Group Developing national radon action plan in Serbia Institutional framework Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Ministry of Health Serbian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (SRPNA) Developing national radon action plan in Serbia Radon in national legislation Programme of systematic environmental radioactivity examination establishes locations and number of measurements of indoor radon Rulebook on limits of exposure to ionizing radiation and measurements for assessment the exposure levels (Official Gazzete of RS No. 86/11) establishes action levels for radon in workplaces to 1000Bq/m3, and action levels for chronic exposure to radon in homes to 200Bq/m3 for newly built and 400Bq/m3 for existing buildings . RADON MEASUREMENTS AT THE WORKPLACES IN SERBIA Data provided by the follow institutions in Serbia: • Institute of Physics, University of Belgrade • Vinča Institute of Nuclear Science, University of Belgrade - Radiation and Environmental Protection Department - Department for Nuclear and Plasma Physics, ECE Laboratory • Nuclear Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad • Serbian Institute of Occupational Health „dr Dragomir Karajović“, Belgrade • Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Department for Nuclear and Plasma Physics, ECE Laboratory, Belgrade, Serbia Dr Zora S. Žunić - Serbian indoor radon survey was based on measurements made in primary schools only, within research projects at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Serbia. The first phase started in August 2008 and has so far included 340 schools within 13 communities in three districts in South Serbia (Jablanicki, Pcinjski and Zajecarski district). In the last community Sjenica in the West Serbia, 37 schools have been investigated in the period (2014-2015). - The radon concentration measurements have been carried out in cooperation with an Italian research team led by the Italian National Institute of Health, Rome, Italy (Dr Francesco Bochicchio, head, Carmen Carpentieri, Gennaro Venoso, Sara Antignani), National Institute of Radiological Sciences, Chiba , Japan (Dr Ishikawa Tetsuo, Yasutaka Omori, Dr Shinji Tokonami, head), Radiological Physics and Advisory Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, India, (Dr Rosaline Mishra and Dr Y.Mayya, head), EU Joint Reserach Center (Tore Tollefsen-unofficial collaboration, consulting person) and Dr Peter Bossew, from the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, Berlin, Germany.

  • Forró Lajos Angol Tezisek
    University Doctor (PhD) Dissertation Thesis THE 1944/45 PARTISAN REPRISALS IN MAGYARKANIZSA AND ENVIRONS, AFTER REVIEW OF ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS Lajos Forró Supervisor: Dr. László Pallai DEBRECEN UNIVERSITY Doctoral Department of History and Ethnography Debrecen, 2015 Objective of the thesis, delimitation of the topic Already known to today’s historians is that, at the end of 1944 and the beginning of 1945, the OZNA (the Department for Protection of the People – formed in 1943 under the leadership of Aleksandar Rankovi ć. Its mission was the creation of an information-gathering service, in order to discover and punish spies and the fifth column). The units of OZNA, partisan forces and some local citizens who were Serb nationals, committed genocide among the local Hungarian communities in the Southern Territories. This all occurred with the knowledge and acquiescence of the chief commander, Tito. I find it important to point out that the partisan powers carried out illegal liquidations not just against the Hungarians, but also against real or imagined political enemies living in Yugoslavia: Serbs, Croatians, Slovenians, Germans and Albanians. As the reprisals were directed from the center of power, in many places the local Serb population, encouraged by the situation, took part in the reckoning. Public opinion in opposition to the minorities had grown so strong that it pushed the more empathetic Serb citizens, who might have otherwise tried to help those people who were in trouble, into passivity. What was earlier open anti-Hungarianism in the Southern Territories was quickly replaced by a period of forced silence, and research into the issue could only begin in the early 1990s.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

ROMANIA Belgrade CROATS IN BACKA, SRIJEM AND BANAT (VOJVODINA) POSITION OF CROATS IN VOJVODINA REGARDING THEIR CULTURAL, POLITICAL, AND OTHER FUNDAMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS Introduction As a result of the Croats in Vojvodina being deprived of their rights and the assimilatory policies which have calculatedly been implemented for over 70 years, the Croatian population has constantly been in decline. The war against Croatia and the destruction the war has caused directly reflect upon the status of Croats in Vojvodina. All too often they are insulted and taunted. They are attacked through public media, the Croatian media are blocked, they are mistreated by Serbian government authorities and rendered powerless in all areas of public life. Croatian cultural and historic monuments are being destroyed (Baa, Subotica, among others), and Croatian homes in Novi Slankamen have been blasted by machine gun fire, besides a whole line of similar occurrences. With that kind of politics, Serbia, especially after the cessation of the constitutional autonomy of Vojvodina, would like to destroy the will of the Croats to live in the areas of Barka, Banat, and Srijem, where Croats had already been living for thirteen hundred years.

  • Effect of Organic Production on Soil Structure
    1168 Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 20 (No 5) 2014, 1168-1174 Agricultural Academy EFFECT OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION ON SOIL STRUCTURE Lj. NESIC*, M. BELIC, L. SAVIN, V. CIRIC, M. STEFANOVCIC and M. MANOJLOVIC University of Novi Sad, Department of Field and Vegetable Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia Abstract NESIC, Lj., M. BELIC, L. SAVIN, V. CIRIC, M. STEFANOVCIC and M. MANOJLOVIC, 2014. Effect of organic production on soil structure. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 1168-1174 Organic agriculture is a production system, which avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, and additives and relies on natural principles that contribute to the growth, development, and health of plants. Its aim is safe production of quality produce and maintenance and improvement of the sanitary condition and quality of soil and the environ- ment. Soil structure is most important among the physical soil properties due to its large impact on the water, air and thermal status, chemical and biological properties of the soil, soil tilth and the growth of plant roots. It is an indicator of soil fertility and productivity. The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of organic agriculture to soil structure improvement by comparing soil structure indicators from organic farms and conventionally tilled production plots. The study was conduct- ed in Vojvodina Province, Serbia. Organic farms in 8 locations (Kelebija, Orom, Pančevo, Crepaja, Bajmok, Ljutovo, Totovo Selo, and Kisač) were compared against Rimski Šančevi experiment station in which the conventional soil tillage system has been employed for several decades. Soil samples were collected from soil depth of 0-30 cm.
