Fünf Reptilienarten {Lacerta agilis, Anguis fragilis, Lacerta vivipara, Natrix natrix, Vipera berus) sind für das Spätquartär des Untersuchungsgebietes anhand von Fossilbelegen nachgewiesen.

    ART & CULTURE · ART Drawing the line: meet the Romanian artist-activist tackling world crises one cartoon at a time 5 JANUARY 2016 · BUCHAREST · ROMANIA A household name in the Bucharest art scene, with solo exhibitions at the most recognised galleries across the world, Dan Perjovschi has made his career creating drawings that are both comic and critical. We spoke to the artist about how events from the building of the Berlin Wall to the refugee Dan Perjovschi, Untitled (2015) crisis have influenced his work TEXT Will Gresson Dan Perjovschi is one of Romania’s foremost artistic voices. Although known as a talented multi-disciplinary artist in his home country, particularly for his early performance work, he is most widely known internationally for his massive drawing installations. Executed directly onto the walls of buildings, public spaces and gallery walls using simple chalk or marker pens, these figures and shapes reveal a wry and playful sense of humour, while at the same time demonstrating his sharp critical focus. Simple stick figures or sketches are used to articulate fantastically nuanced critiques of both domestic and international politics and culture, something which has been particularly obvious in current works dedicated to the refugee crisis in Europe. At a recent exhibition in Timisoara for example, one work contained two figures; the first was carrying a child next to the word “real”, the second carried a bomb with the word “fear”. It’s a commentary which feels particularly poignant after the recent attacks in Paris. Elsewhere, he illustrated the changing tides of political focus, writing “EU’s Problem: Syriza Syria” to reflect the unpredictable priorities of the continent’s governing bodies.

Yeltsin, Yekaterinburg, Russia 2Department of Finance, Money Circulation and Credit, Ural State University of Economics, Yekaterinburg, Russia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article attempts to analyze the impact of regional differences in income and activity of using digital financial services (DFS) on the financial literacy of the population. The authors proceeded from the hypothesis that the effect of concentration of financial activity in large federal centers of the Russian Federation on other territories, in particular, the Sverdlovsk region, is approximated. The main research hypothesis is that the regular and active use of digital financial services is more inherent with people living in large settlements and having a relatively higher income; these two factors have a decisive influence on the level of financial literacy. The use of constantly developing digital financial services in everyday life allows people to visualize the dynamics of their financial capabilities, analyze and adjust the structure of financial resources, which increases financial knowledge and strengthens

Dear colleagues, after that sad March 8, in which an unexpected news shocked us and deprived us of our daily lives, we left always remembering the dates, such as the beginning and end of a nightmare, in particular that of May 18 as the day on which we regained our freedom. In order to relaunch tourism in the Sicily Region, we have scheduled a meeting from 16 to 21 October in Sciaccamare, a renowned spa resort and popular seaside resort, located on the splendid south-west coast, about 65 km from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, and 120 km from Palermo international airport. Home to the living room, the modern and comfortable 4-star structure Torre del Barone, located in the wonderful park of Sciaccamare, the ideal place for a relaxing holiday in contact with nature. The rooms have private facilities, TV, direct dial telephone, Wi-Fi, mini-fridge, safes and air conditioning. The restaurant is held in an elegant restaurant room where every day there are appetizing buffets always enriched with new proposals and accompanied by wine and water in the carafe at will and draft beer. The Hotel also has a wonderful beach of fine sand, equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, reachable by following the suggestive paths that cross the luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation or, alternatively, by using the convenient shuttle service carried out with a train.
