Review of Research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the Fields of Meteorology, Climatology, Hydrology, Hydrogeochemistry and Physical Limnology
GEOFIZIKA VOL. 35 2018 DOI: 10.15233/gfz.2018.35.9 Review paper Review of research on Plitvice Lakes, Croatia in the fields of meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeochemistry and physical limnology Zvjezdana Bencetić Klaić 1, Josip Rubinić 2 and Sanja Kapelj 3 1 Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb 2 Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka 3 Faculty of Geotehnical Engineering, University of Zagreb Received 16 April 2018, in final form 22 October 2018 In lakes, several physical, chemical, and biological processes occur simulta- neously, and these processes are interconnected. Therefore, the investigation of lakes requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes physics (including the physics of the atmosphere, i.e., meteorology), chemistry, geology, hydrogeology, hydrology and biology. Each of these disciplines addresses a lake from a different point of view. However, lake studies that primarily belong to one field, at least to some extent, report their findings in ways that are associated with other fields; this type of reporting is caused by the inherent interconnections between phe- nomena from different disciplines. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia, are composed of a unique cascading chain of karst lakes, and these lakes have been investigated by numerous authors. Here, we provide an overview of the studies of the Plitvice Lakes Area (PLA) that address meteorology, climatology, hydrology, hydrogeo- chemistry and physical limnology. Our aim is to synthesize the results from each of these disciplines and make them available to scientists from other related disciplines; thus, this review will facilitate further investigations of the PLA within the natural sciences. In addition, valuable results from early investiga- tions of Plitvice Lakes are generally unavailable to the broader scientific com- munity, and are written in Croatian. -

Highly Efficient Nuclear DNA Typing of the World War II Skeletal Remains

Methods In the beginning of the 2011, we analyzed 102 bones and teeth using the PowerPlex ESX 17 System (Pro- mega), AmpFiSTR NGM PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Bio- systems), and Investigator ESSplex Kit (Qiagen). We cleaned the bones and teeth, removed surface contamination, and ground them into a powder using liquid nitrogen. Prior to DNA isolation with Biorobot EZ1 (Qiagen), 0.5 g bone or tooth powder was decalcified. Nuclear DNA of the samples was quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. All three kits used the same extract with the amplification conditions recommended by the manufacturers. Results We extracted up to 131 ng DNA/g of powder from the bones and teeth. All three amplification kits showed very similar efficiency, since DNA typing was success- ful with all amplification kits in 101 out of 102 bones and teeth, which represents a 99% success rate. Conclusion The commercially available ESX 17, ESSplex, and NGM kits are highly reliable for STR typing of World Received: August 26, 2011 War II skeletal remains with the DNA extraction method optimized in our laboratory. -

Hiking Croatia's Coast & Canyons 8 Days / 7 Nights
Hiking Croatia’s Coast & Canyons 8 days / 7 nights OVERVIEW Northern Croatia with its Adriatic Coast, offers one of the most undiscovered and scenically dramatic walking landscapes in Europe. The country’s Northern coastline, with its relaxed Mediterranean ambience, offers an area rich in stunningly beautiful medieval towns, and villages, fantastic food, lush national parks, cascading waterfalls and sunshine! This spectacular walking holiday explores the very best of the Northern Adriatic Coast and its areas of outstanding natural beauty, including the national parks of Plitvice and Krka with their superb lakes, spectacular waterfalls and rich fauna. We start in the colorful capital Zagreb, with its busy market square, old quarter and stunning cathedral before exploring UNESCO Plitvice National Park with its cascading waterfalls and wooden walkways. As we head to the coast, we’ll walk in the spectacular and undiscovered Velebit Mountains before heading to Paklenica National Park, a wild landscape of deep canyons and rugged mountains overlooking the islands of Pag, Rab and Kornati National Park, the second largest archipelago in the Mediterranean. After the splendour of the mountains we arrive on the stunning Adriatic Coast, with time to soak up the beauty of Krupa Canyon, before enjoying the laid-back atmosphere and beautiful architecture in Zadar and UNESCO Split, two of the Mediterranean’s most welcoming towns with their busy harbours, laid-back pavement cafes, elegant promenades and excellent local restaurants.

TOURIST BOARD OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF PAKOŠTANE Municipality Pakoštane History When searching for the origin or the emergence of a city or settlement, researchers most often search for bare physical remains so the question of the nature of the occurrence of human dwellings spins within the closed circle of remains of stones from residential units, temples or walls. But long before the emergence of settlements, there was some type of shelter there, a cave and above all the tendency of individuals, as in with animal species, to stop precisely there and make a campsite. That is why towns, even before they became towns, were an area where people would come to. Some magnetic force would pull them to come precisely here and to return precisely here. And this force was stronger than bare existential interest. Let us return for a moment to those first people who have stopped at this place. What mound - ledge - cape - an island, freshwater / saltwater emitted so much force that the man of that time, after having walked perhaps dozens, perhaps hundreds of kilometres, stopped at this place and said to himself: This is it, this is where I will live! Starting from the Neolithic period, the word “home” and “mother” are woven into every segment of Neolithic life. -

Post-World War Ii Forced Repatriations to Yugoslavia: Genocide's Legacy for Democratic Nation Building
International Journal of Social Sciences Vol. VII, No. 2 / 2018 DOI: 10.20472/SS.2018.7.2.004 POST-WORLD WAR II FORCED REPATRIATIONS TO YUGOSLAVIA: GENOCIDE'S LEGACY FOR DEMOCRATIC NATION BUILDING DOROTHY S. MCCLELLAN, NIKOLA KNEZ Abstract: This paper examines the long-term challenges to democratic nation building that have resulted from the forced repatriation of hundreds of thousands of Croatian civilians and military personnel to Yugoslavia at the end of World War II. Data suggest that violations of the Geneva Conventions led to the death of many of these asylum seekers at the hands of Tito's Partisans in death marches and mass executions. Through analysis of historical documents, newly released evidence of mass graves, and interviews with survivors/witnesses, confessed perpetrators, military officials and scholars, we examine the atrocities in the context of international human rights law, with discussion of subsequent promulgation of protocols for the protection of refugees, asylum seekers, and prisoners of war from crimes against humanity and genocide.
