Recent wide- ranging analysis of conservation statuses and threats of reptiles of the world revealed that nearly 20% of the species are threatened, while for another 20% data are inexistent. Unambiguously, only long- term population studies could prove global declines of different reptilian taxa, but they are logistically difficult, costly, time consuming and therefore very rare in herpetology. Consequently, global extinction risk of many reptile species is set primarily upon their distribution data, or/and expert opinions, without a proper support from population studies. As concerned to reptile conservation, the situation in the central Balkans (Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro) is even worse. In all three countries, there is a sharp discrepancy between formal (legal) conservation statuses (de jure) and actual (de facto) situation in conservation practices of reptiles. Majority of reptile species present in the countries in concern are either protected or strictly protected at national levels: 72 % (23 of 32 species) in Macedonia, 76 % (26 of 34 species) in Montenegro and 83 % (20 of 24 species) in Serbia. However, in some cases, lists were made upon experts (?) opinions, while in other, species with international significance were omitted (e. g. Viperidae in Montenegro). Prerequisite for setting conservation priorities of reptiles are existence of national Red Lists and/or Red Books of Macedonia and Montenegro. This requires publication of detailed distribution of reptiles (in Montenegro), updated analyses of centres of diversity (in Macedonia), and whenever possible, inclusion of population parameters and trends (in all three countries). In this presentation, results of long-term population and conservation studies will be provided, as an example how they could be used in estimation of conservation statuses of internationally important (e. g. Testudo hermanni) or neglected (e. g. Natrix tessellata) reptile species. Keywords: herpetofauna, conservation priorities, Red Books, legal protection Check list of European phytosociological alliances – a new challenge for vegetation science Andraž Čarni 1, 2, 3 1 Scientific Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2 University of Nova Gorica, Nova Gorica, Slovenia 3 Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Skopje Vegetation classification according to the Braun-Blanquet methods is widely used in Europe. After 100 years of classification efforts of European phytosociologists (vegetation scientists); many researches have been done and concepts and names of vegetation units have been proposed, but there was no classification system integrating all these units. This was the reason that the group of researchers of over 30 researchers guided by L. Mucina have evaluated about 10 000 bibliographic sources 19th-22nd October 2016 11 OF ECOLOGISTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA, 5 CONGRESS WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION and created a comprehensive list of syntaxonomic units till the alliance level appearing all overthe Continent, from Canary Islands till Ural and from Cyprus to Greenland. These units were evaluated by experts for their floristic and ecological distinctness, geographical distribution and compliance with nomenclatural code. The list contains 109 classes, 300 orders and 1104 alliances. The aim of the project was to document the classification and to stabilize the concepts and nomenclature of syntaxa also for practical uses such as calibration of habitat classification, standardization of terminology for environment assessment, management and conservation. The present classification system provides a baseline for future development and revision of European syntaxonomy. Keywords: classification, Europe, phytosociology, systematics, vegetation. Environmental pollution with heavy metals in the Republic of Macedonia Trajče Stafilov1 and Robert Šajn2 1Institute of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia 2Geological Survey of Slovenia, Ljubljana, Slovenia Anthropogenic environmental changes, associated mainly with chemical pollution, lead to a degradation of the natural human environment. Among all chemical pollutants, trace elements are of a special ecological, biological and health significance. The production of energy and the consumption of natural resources are the main source of trace elements as contaminants. However, agricultural activities, especially the application of fertilisers and pesticides, also contribute significantly to trace metal pollution in the environment. Soil, as a part of the ecosystem, is vital for the survival of mankind which is closely connected to its productivity. Therefore, the surveys of the pollution with heavy metals of soil, waters, sediments, air and food on the whole territory of the Republic of Macedonia were performed. For that purpose various spectrometric (atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma – atomic emission spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry) and radioanalytical (neutron activation analysis) techniques were applied. Air pollution was investigated by the application of moss biomonitoring and dust samples (attic dust and house-hold dust). The pollution with heavy metals in the particular regions was additionally investigated. It was found that the highest pollution is present in the areas with abounded or active mines (Pb, Zn, Cu, As, Sb, Ni, Cr), metallurgical plants (Pb, Zn, Cd, Fe-Ni, Fe-Cr, Fe-Si, Fe, steel) or thermoelectical power plants. High content of some heavy metals were also found in the areas were their contents usually vary gradually across the geochemical landscape and depend on the geochemistry of the underlying lithology.

  • 1 EDUCATION REFORM in BULGARIA a Study in Failure
    1 EDUCATION REFORM IN BULGARIA A study in failure Evgenii Dainov Introduction Recent experience, as well as the increasingly voluminous literature on “delayed” reform, tell researchers and reformers something relatively simple, yet disturbing. Many countries have started or will be starting reforms; quite a number of these countries have failed, are failing or will fail in this attempt. Some will fail roundly. Others will fail partially and will move along with a heavy limp, never certain when system failure may occur. Usually, the literature deals with issues of economic reform1 and finds the culprit in politics. This makes research applicable to other fields, where politics is paramount and particularly, “second generation” reforms, such as education, which require restructuring of institutions – who, of course, resist it. Even partial failures here have significant consequences. The awareness that something was terribly wrong with Bulgarian education came only after 2000, after a decade of self-congratulatory myths and in the face of consequences, which could not be easily explained away. First, a mismatch between skills attained and skills needed became obvious. Employer organisations complained that they were increasingly unable to find Bulgarian nationals to fill mid- level managerial positions, and were forced to import staff from abroad at significant cost. A representative study, carried out by Alpha Research, a major polling agency, in 2004 revealed that only 38 per cent of employers in Bulgaria thought that the education system provided the young with the skills they were looking for. 2 Second, preformance levels dropped. A series of international studies revealed, by 2003 that, while Bulgarians performed well at the level of primary education (1-4th grade), after that figures were little short of disastrous.

The crowd stood still in expectation. Posing for a while against each other, the dancers jumped simultaneously. Dabaka moved with dexterity to Christina. She gently ran on her toes passing by him. Both looked at each other from head to toe as if wanting to show their superiority and continued their dance. Christina waved her white hand- kerchief, swayed her white neck like a swan and gently floated in the vortex of sound, created by the merry bagpipe. Her face turned hot… Dabaka was in complete trance. With hands freely crossed on his back he moved like a deer performing wondrous jumps in front of her … Then, shaking his head to let the heavy sweat drops fall from his face, he made a movement as if retreating.

Wesselink, Esther M. van Ark and I. Kuiper Abstract The use of DNA markers for the identification of fungal species has been described for diverse applications. However, the ideal marker for forensic identification of hallucinogenic species of fungi has been the cause of debate. As species identification of seized samples is required for law enforcement, and seizures of magic mushrooms often lack the morphological features required to identify the species, a better understanding of the performance of different DNA markers is necessary.
