  • Bosnian Genocide) from 1992 Until 1995 Was the Worst Massacre Occurred Since the Holocaust in the World War II
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research Background Bosnian War (Bosnian Genocide) from 1992 until 1995 was the worst massacre occurred since the Holocaust in the World War II. In 1992, Serbia set out to “ethnically cleanse” Bosnian territory by regularly eliminated all Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks). Serbian together with Bosnian Serbs ethnic attacked Bosniaks with former Yugoslavian military equipment, and then surrounded Sarajevo as the capital city of BiH. In consequence, many Bosniaks were driven into concentration camps, where Bosniaks women and girls were raped and other civilians were tortured, starved and murdered (Lampe, 2019). This conquest made 70% of the territories in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), wherein the closest Republic from Serbia, was ethnically cleansed from Bosniaks and Croats civilians (Flögel, Lauc, and Goreta, 2010). The Serbian army first traced of the boundary along the valley of Drina, whereabouts plenty of towns with Muslim majority. In the first weeks of April, Serb military force that was backed up by regular units of the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) struck into districts such as Zvornik, Višegrad, Bratunac, Srebrenica, and Foca, and then attacked, exiled, murdered, terrorized, and expelled the poor defenses of the Muslim populations. Subsequently, millions of Bosnian Muslims were displaced and forced in immigrating to other safer country as refugee (Nation, 2003, p. 160, 189, 203). In fact, one of the safest powerful countries that Bosniak refugees chose to settle in was United States. In 1992, after 1 2 the Bosnian War started, there was a wave of Bosnian refugees to United States that had primarily been Muslim. From the year of 1991 to 1994, around 11,500 Bosnian immigrated, and within the U.S.

  • Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Manuela BRENNER The Construction, De- and Reconstruction of History and Memory: Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina THE CONSTRUCTION, DE- AND RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORY AND MEMORY: LOCAL MEMORY PRACTICES OF THE MEMORIAL COMPLEX AT MRAKOVICA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Manuela BRENNER University of Regensburg UDK: 069(497.6 Mrakovica):94(4)“1941/1945“ 069(497.6 Mrakovica:355(497.6)“1992/1995“ Prethodno priopćenje Primljeno: 07.10.2013. Prihvaćeno: 05.01.2014. This paper examines the memory practices of the memorial complex at Mrakovica at the Kozara National Park in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The original concept of the memorial site, founded in 1972, was to keep the Kozara-epos alive. The erected monument, the memorial wall and the museum were built to remember one of the biggest battles during the Second World War on Yugoslav soil during which more than ten thousand Partisan fighters and civilians lost their lives. During the communist era the memorial site fit into the official memory frame: the high number of casualties, especially civilians, was put into the foreground and the Partisans in their struggle for liberation were glorified. The key component of the official narrative was the slogan brotherhood and unity. After the armed conflict in the 1990s, the site underwent several transformations. New memorial frames were set by nationalists; thus history and memory were thereby de- and reconstructed. The new narrative included not only victims of the Second World War but exclusively those victims belonging to the ethnic group of Serbs of the First World War and the conflict in 1992-95.

Pure App. Biosci. 6 (1): 442-451 (2018) Review Article Genetic and Molecular Basis of Petal Pigmentation in Floriculture Crops: A Review Sunita Dhakar1* and Anjali Soni2 1Division of Floriculture and Landscaping, ICAR- IARI, New Delhi 110012, India 2Division of Fruits and Horticultural Technology, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi 110012, India *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 11.07.2017 | Revised: 19.08.2017 | Accepted: 26.08.2017 ABSTRACT Flower colours are of paramount importance in the ecology of plants and their ability to attract pollinators and seed dispersing organisms. The primary pigments occurring in plants are chlorophylls and carotenoids accumulated in plastids, anthocyanins and betalains, which are dissolved in vacuolar sap. Flavonoids and carotenoids are widely distributed in plant pigments. Among the factors influencing flower colour, anthocyanin biosynthesis has been the most extensively studied. Each plant species usually accumulates limited kinds of anthocyanins and exhibits limited flower colour. For example, roses and carnations lack violet/blue colour because they do not accumulate delphinidin-based anthocyanins and petunia and cymbidium lack brick red/orange colour due to the lack of pelargonidin-based anthocyanins. Different approaches are used for development of novel flower colour in floricultural crops like hybridization, mutation and genetic engineering. Advances in molecular biology and plant transformation technology have made possible the engineering of an anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway by the overexpression of heterologous flavonoid biosynthetic genes or the down-regulation of endogenous genes in transgenic plants.
