In this article we present lowland type of settlement Ključ in Rižana valley. Due to technological and typological pottery analysis, we are able to date this site to Early Bronze Age. Nearby fresh ...water and communication route under Karts Edge, which connects Gulf of Trieste and Istria, were presumably the main reasons for selecting Ključ as a location. There is only one other known contemporaneous site nearby Ključ - cave Jama nad Brežcem. We believe this is only a consequence of the state of research.
In this paper is presented intrinsic vulnerability assessment of the aquifer in the Rižana spring chatcment by the method SINTACS. It is parametric method that takes into consideration seven ...parameters (depth to ground water, effective infiltration action, unsaturatedzone attenuation capacity, soil/overburden attenuation capacity, hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer, hydraulic conductivity range of aquifer, hydrologic role of the topographic slope). Parameters are presented in grid information layers that wereelaborated on the basis of interpretation and GIS processing of geological, hydrogeological,speleological, topographical, meteorological and pedological data. According to the parametersimportance for vulnerability assessment, a multiplier (importance weight) was assigned to each parameter. Final map of vulnerability is a result of overlaying (summing) of weighted information layers (parameters) and shows the catchment area of the Rižanaspring subdivided into six vulnerability classes.

The stibnite mineralization at Rizana (Kilkis ore district; Serbo-Macedonian metallogenic province; northern Greece) occurs along a NE–SW-trending brittle shear-zone, which transects a two-mica and ...an augen-gneiss of the Vertiskos Unit. Barren Triassic A-type granites and satellite pegmatites and aplites, as well as Oligocene-Miocene plutonic, subvolcanic and volcanic rocks that are variably hydrothermally altered and mineralized, outcrop in the broader region. The mineralization appears as veins, discordant lodes and disseminations. Veins and discordant lodes exhibit massive and brecciated textures. Historic underground mining (1930s–1950s) produced 9000 t of stibnite ore, grading 40% Sb on average. The main ore mineral assemblage includes stibnite + berthierite + sphalerite + pyrite + chalcopyrite + native antimony and traces of wolframite, galena, tetrahedrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, realgar, native arsenic and native gold. Quartz, minor barite and ankerite are the gangue minerals. Sericitization and silicification developed along the shear-zone, forming hydrothermal halos of moderate intensity in the two-mica gneiss. Locally, valentinite, goethite and claudetite are present due to the supergene oxidation of the stibnite mineralization. Bulk ore geochemistry shows enrichments in specific elements including As, Au, Cd, Se, Tl and W. Fluid inclusion microthermometry showed that the mineralization was formed under a limited range of temperatures and salinities. The fluids had low to slightly moderate salinities (6.6–8.1 wt% equiv. NaCl) with low homogenization temperatures (217–254 °C, with a maximum at 220 °C).

Karst aquifers are known for their heterogeneity and irregular complex flow patterns which make them more difficult to model and demand specific modeling approaches. This paper presents one such ...approach which is based on a conceptual model. The model was applied in a karst area of the catchment of Rižana spring (200 km²). It is based on the MIKE SHE code and incorporates the main hydrological processes and geological features of the karst aquifer (diffuse and concentrated infiltration, allogenic recharge, quick and slow groundwater flow, shifting groundwater divides and groundwater outflow from the catchment area). Modeling of evapotranspiration and flow in the upper part of the unsaturated zone is more detailed. For the modeling of groundwater flow in the karst aquifer, a conceptual model was applied which uses drainage function for the simulation of groundwater flow through large conduits (karst channels and large fissures). The model was calibrated and validated against the observed Rižana spring discharge which represents a measured response of the aquifer. The results of validation show that the model is able to adequately simulate temporal evolution of the spring discharge, measured by Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (0.82) as well as overall water balance.

The present paper aims to address the sustainable management issues of karst water sources in Slovenia and Croatia. It focuses on the Mediterranean part of the Dinaric karst, which holds important ...groundwater reserves. The importance of selected karst aquifers for water supply is presented. In addition, national drinking water management strategies are examined to synthesise the issues relating to the exposure of groundwater to contamination and over-exploitation. Finally, the most significant problems, pressing needs and challenges are identified. These depend predominantly on revision of existing drinking water protection strategies and integration of karst-specific provisions, aspects of over-exploitation and proper water quality control. The need for harmonised multi-country policies regulating resource abstraction and contamination issues is stressed.

Three cores, V-3, V-5 and MK-6, drilled in the inner part of the Bay of Koper were used to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental conditions occurring during the Holocene. Based on stable isotope results ...two depositing environments can be distinguished in the cores: the upper, marine and lower, brackish sedimentation. Marine sedimentation prevailed over fluvial sedimentation at depths of 15 m, 19 m and 10 m in the V-3, MK-6 and V-5 cores respectively.The marine part of the core V-3 was influenced by varying amounts of land-derivedorganic carbon transported by the River Rižana, while in MK-6 and V-5 cores the marine algae and/or microphytes constituted the main source of sedimentary organic carbon. The fluvial sedimentaion has typically lower δ13Corg and higher C/N ratios, ~ – 26 ‰ and > 12 respectively and based on stable carbon isotope mass balance the terrestrial organic carbon present up to 70 to 100 % of the sedimentary organic carbon. On the other hand, the higher δ15N values observed at some depths in the fluvial sedimentation indicated that nitrogen could be of marine origin. The observed data in parallel with previous studies are in good agreement with the simultaneous rise of the sea level in the Northern Adriatic.
Despite a chorus of pleas for Saudi Arabian authorities to step in and reconsider Rizana Nafeeks death sentence, they went ahead and executed her anyway, proving once more how woefully out of step ...they are with their international obligations regarding the use of the death penalty, said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty Internationals Middle East and North Africa Program.

Bu çalışma sinema sektörünün sadece bireylerin iyi vakit geçirmesini sağlayan bir kitle iletişim aracı değil aynı zamanda kimliklerin ve imajların inşası, meşruiyeti ve dolaşımı ile birçok farklı ...ideolojiye hizmet eden bir halkla ilişkiler aracı olduğu iddiası üzerinde yükselmektedir. Dolayısıyla sinema endüstrisi her yeni ürünü ile unutulmaya yüz tutmuş bir fikri canlandırma, olmayan bir fikri hayata geçirme, gerçekliği olduğu gibi resmetme ya da gerçekliği deforme etme gibi işlevlere sahip bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada sinema endüstrisindeki genel üretim kalıplarının dışında ve bu doğrultuda meşru söylem karşıtı anlam inşa eden Shooter (2007) filminden yola çıkılarak milliyetçiliğin hangi durumlarda hangi söylemlerle görünür hale gelerek temsil edildiği sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Çalışma iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölümde sinema endüstrisinde imaj üretimi, rıza üretimi ve karşı propagandaya yönelik genel bir çerçeve çizilmekte ve bu uygulamaların resmi söylemi dolaşımda tutma pratiklerine yer verilmektedir. Bölümün devamında milliyetçilik ve milliyetçilik türleri hakkında kavramsal tartışmalara yer verilmekte ve sinema endüstrisinde milliyetçilik söyleminin bir halkla ilişkiler faaliyeti olarak kullanımı örneklerle aktarılmaktadır. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümünde araştırmanın örneğini oluşturan Shooter filminde milliyetçilik temelinde aktarılan mesajlar niteliksel yöntemlerden içerik analizi tekniği ile çözümlenmektedir. Araştırma sonucunda, ABD hükümetlerinin sınır ötesi operasyonlarının temelinde ülkenin yayılmacı milliyetçilik anlayışı bulunduğu ve bunun yurttaşların bir kısmı tarafından meşru bulunmadığı anlamının inşa edildiği ortaya çıkmaktadır.
