Perhaps you are an entrepreneur with a brilliant business plan and need to find financing. Or perhaps you are an entrepreneur in a field where a transition to more environmentally friendly approach would do wonders for our world, and you need to find the right research partners to help you make that transition. Or, perhaps, you are all of the above… The good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is information available out there, and there are professionals who can help you with your project. What is more, you do not need to limit yourself to your own country; cross-border cooperation across Europe is a growing trend. The purpose of this Guidebook is to map the environment for eco-innovation in the Danube Region countries; to offer a general overview and to point the interested reader towards relevant sources of more information. Overview of the contents This Guidebook focuses on several aspects of Depending on the nature of the eco-innovation the innovation environment: in question, another batch of product-specific legislation will need to be studied, such as legal • We start with an overview of norms on health care, waste management, professional organizations which can help you energy production, construction, waste and offer you various supporting services in the treatment or general product safety; all of this innovation field.

  • Handling Old Transylvanian Apple Variety Names in Translation
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, PHILOLOGICA, 8, 3 (2016) 61–83 DOI: 10.1515/ausp-2016-0032 Handling Old Transylvanian Apple Variety Names in Translation Imola Katalin NAGY Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania Faculty of Technical and Human Sciences Department of Applied Linguistics, Târgu-Mureş nimolkat@gmail .com Abstract. This paper is related to the problems of translating horticultural terms and names . We deal with the translation issues of botanical names in general, then we focus on some old apple varietal names (Pónyik, Batul, Tányéralma, etc.) and the way these names are treated in English/Romanian texts . We also present some aspects related to the historical background of name giving and pomology . Our aim is to identify the main tendencies of such names in scientific writings and other types of texts. Prior to the publication of the Cultivated Code in the 1950s, the situation of varietal names was rather ambiguous, and sometimes several varietal names were circulating for the very same fruit variety or cultivar . That is why today we still talk about synonymy and translation in the field of variety names despite the fact that the Code stipulates a preference for non-translation . We also attempt to analyse the etymological implications of the above mentioned apple variety names, as especially Pónyik and Batul are equally claimed by Hungarian and Romanian pomologists . Keywords: apple variety, botanical taxonomy, Pónyik, Batul, traditional Transylvanian apple varieties, translation, synonymy, etymology Introduction In Europe, the 16th-17th centuries brought about a development in agricultural and horticultural activities . Yet, formal agricultural training or research was not available until 1796, when a special academy was founded in Hungary, in the town of Keszthely .

  • The Availability of Data Had to Fields Might Have Been Included, As They Are Part and Parcel of the Sidered, As They Frequently
    A SURVE OF BALKAN HOUSES AND FARM BUILDINGS Majda Tharnher INTRODUCTION This study is an analysis of settlement patterns, the construc- tion and form of houses, yards and farm buildings in peasant communities in Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria and Rumania. It might appear more logical to cover the whole of the Balkan Peninsula in which case Greece should have been added and Rumania excluded. How- ever, my main interest is in the Southern Slays of which Greek culture is not a part. Albania, on the other hand, has certain affinities to the culture of Slavic Montenegro., such as in social organization, and the large Albanian element in the population of southwestern Serbia has probably influenced the material culture of that region. In any case the political boundary between Yugoslavia and Albania scarcely reflects the cultural affiliation. The deci- sion to- include Ruania, which cannot be considered a purely Slavic country, rests on historical factors, for Rumania also came under the influence of Turkish rule, sharing the fate of other Balkan countries. The inclusion of Rumania should therefore throw light on the effect of Turkish culture on rural settlements in this region. It was deemed desirable to keep the time factor constant and to choose a period after liberation from Turkish rule and before urban influence had affected rural areas. The availability of data had to be taken into consideration, and, since material on the first half of the 19th century is scarce, most of the research being done with the beginning of the 20th century, the period between 1875 and 1900 was selected.

  • The Albanian Language in the Face of Globalization Challanges: the Issue of Borrowings
    European Scientific Journal September 2015 edition vol.11, No.25 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE ALBANIAN LANGUAGE IN THE FACE OF GLOBALIZATION CHALLANGES: THE ISSUE OF BORROWINGS Meri Gjoleka, PhD Department of Foreing Languages, the Faculty of Humane Sciencies University of Vlora “Ismail Qemali”, Albania Abstract Today, due to the rapid development of globalization almost all languages, perhaps are facing more than ever the powerful phenomenon of borrowings. In this course of changes, it is quite natural that even the Albanian language is part of them. But, if languages such as: English, French, Italian, German are widely spoken and are relatively protected, the Albanian language as a language spoken only by a small popullation, faces a more delicate situation for the protection of its own linguistic and cultural identity. But what are the languages which have more supplied the Albanian language with borrowings and what institutional precaution should be taken in order to protect it from an uncontrolled flow of borrowings by preserving its values? By this article, we will try to give a more complete overview of this phenomenon and the efforts needed to preserve it as pure as possible. Keywords: Mother tongue, foreign language, borrowings, globalization, required measures Introduction Every language has experienced the phenomenon of linguistic borrowings from different languages during certain historical periods. This phenomenon has emerged as a result of various factors such as: the historical, the cultural, the geographical proximity factors etc. The Albanian language has not been an exception of such a phenomenon. The crystallization of the Albanian language as a standard one, took place after the Orthography Congress held in 1972.

  • The Vlachs (" Wallachians " Or "Łyachi") – Europe’S Forcibly Latinized Population, E.G
    Basil Chulev • ∘ ⊕ ∘ • The Vlachs (" Wallachians " or "Łyachi") – Europe’s forcibly Latinized population, e.g. Vlachs, Franks , Germans , Iberians , Lombardians , Romanians , Aromanians , etc. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< Skopje, Macedonia 2016 Introduction - Vlachs, arguably the most numerous "small change" group of people in Macedonian peninsula and wider European region, extroverted as an artificial "minority" in their very own homeland due to the centuries of occupation, assimilation and slow latinization. A doctrine of false appearances and misleading conceptions that were installed during the past centuries by institutions like the church and western monarchies. The phenomenon of 'Latinization' needs to be understand in relation with the past and actual reality of the western-fabricated historiography. Its basic concept is the (world) domination, but the modeº of its implementation is very similar, if not the same, to the gamble-game practiced by the street cheats, called 'Three Card Monte ', only on a much larger scale. Namely, the Latinization is yet another bogus shift process, meant to swindle as much as possible of the world population, and to make them believe in something that never existed. This is done with purpose to confuse the people by erasing their common sense, make them easily manipulative, and turn them against each other in order to obtain profit and consequently a power to rule them. It is a long assimilation process, which makes the people (and their cultures) conform to the ruling class ideas and the thirst for profits of the western world, its monarchies, and the Latin (catholic) church. This ‘Three Card Monte ’ style shifting was implemented by mixing-up the historical chronology and bringing into disorder different historical realities, thus confusing the way of perception by introducing different politically-invented ethnic terms.

  • ON TURKISH LOANWORDS in CROATIAN LANGUAGE Lidija BAN
    Trakya Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi, Cilt: 2, Sayı: 4, Temmuz-2012, s. 155-166 ON TURKISH LOANWORDS IN CROATIAN LANGUAGE Lidija BAN, Darko MATOVAC ABSTRACT: This paper deals with one of the most numerous groups of loanwords in Croatian language–the ones that are coming from or through Turkish language. Basic information on Croatian language that is given in the introductory part of the paper is followed by some historical facts and explanations of the somewhat problematic label turcizmi. Furthermore, three types of Turkish loanwords in Croatian language are discussed and exemplified. The first group consists of words that are part of standard language and that have no (valid) Croatian replacement. The second group consists of words that have to do with some aspect of Turkish and oriental reality. The third group consists of words that are not part of standard language but are actively used in regional idioms. The paper also deals with attitudes towards Turkish loanwords. Keywords: Croatian language, Turkish language, loanwords. HIRVAT DİLİNDEKİ BAZI TÜRKÇE KELİMELER ÜZERİNE KISA BİR BAKIŞ ÖZ: Bu makale Hırvat dilinde bulunan ödünçleme kelimeler gruplarından birini, içeriği oldukça geniş olan Türk dilinden ya da Türk dili aracılığıyla gelmekte olan ödünçleme kelimeler grubunu ele almaktadır. Makalenin giriş kısmında verilen Hırvat diliyle ilgili temel bilgileri, bir miktar sorunlu olan “Turcizmi” (Türkçeden ödünçlenen sözcükler anlamına gelmektedir). deyiminin açıklanması ve hakkında bazı tarihsel gerçeklerin verilmesi izlemektedir. İlave olarak Hırvat dilindeki Türkçe ödünçlenen kelimelerin üç tipi tartışılmakta ve örneklendirilmektedir. İlk grubu, standart dilin parçaları olan ve Hırvatçada geçerli bir muadili bulunmayan kelimeler oluşturmaktadır. İkinci grup, Türk ve doğu realitesinin bir yönünü yansıtan kelimelerden meydana gelmektedir.
