This investigation was aimed at gaining relevant knowledge about the attitudes of the consumers from the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina toward advertising through sport in relation with the ...frequency of watching sports events. The sample included 451 students from Faculty of Sport and Physical Education,Faculty of sport and tourismin Novi Sad and Chemical, Biotechnology and Medicine Department in Subotica, and it was divided into six subsample groups: consumers who do not watch sports events at all, consumers who do watch sports events 1-30 minutes, consumers who watch sports events 31-60 minutes, those who watch them 61-90 minutes, those who watch them 91-120 minutes, as well as those who watch sports events more than 120 minutes during one typical day. The sample of variables contained the system of three general attitudes which were modelled by seven-point Likert scale. The results of the measuring were analysed by multivariate analysis (MANOVA), univariate analysis (ANOVA), and Post Hoc test. Based on the statistical analyses, it was found that signifi cant diff erences occur at multivariate level, as well as between all three variables at a signifi cance level of p=.00. Hence, it is interesting to highlight that it was found that signifi cant diff erences showed up between the attitudes of consumers toward advertising through sport among the frequency of watching sports events. The signifi cant diff erences were found in two out of three variables, while the consumers who do not watch sports events had much more negative attitudes toward advertising through sport.
Aflatoxin М1 was in the spotlight of public attention in Serbia and in the region in 2013 due to high level of this mycotoxin found in milk and milk products. Maximum allowed concentration of ...aflatoxin M1 in milk by EU regulation is 50 ng/kg, while in the Republic of Serbia, allowed concentration by the current regulation is 250 ng/kg. During seven months period, from May to November, samples of raw milk were being taken from six farms, with 60 to 330 cows, from the region of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, the Republic of Serbia, for the purpose of monitoring the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 in milk and its variation during this period. The highest level of 39.8 ng/kg was found in November, while the mean value for the whole period was 7.9 ng/kg. None of the samples had higher level of this mycotoxin than allowed by EU regulation or by current legislation of the Republic of Serbia. The second group of samples included a total of 38 samples of raw milk, from the period of October and November, were taken from different producers from the region of Vojvodina and analyzed on the occurrence of aflatoxin M1. In this group of samples, the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 was much higher, with the average value of 230 ng/kg. The highest found value was 864 ng/kg. In 13 samples, the aflatoxin M1 content was higher than the allowed by the legislation of the Republic of Serbia, while in 24 (63.2 %) samples determined concentration exceeded the value allowed by EU regulation. Data from this work suggest huge differences in the occurrence of aflatoxin M1 in milk between the producers in this region. Regular monitoring is necessary to avoid situation with the elevated level of aflatoxin M1 in milk. This measure will protect both the consumers and the producers of milk and milk product.
This research was aimed at gaining relevant knowledge about the attitudes of the consumers from the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina toward advertising through sport for the question how often do ...consumers purchase sporting goods. The sample included 451 students from Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Faculty of sport and tourism in Novi Sad and Chemical, Biotechnology and Medicine Department in Subotica, divided into six subsamples: consumers who do not purchase sporting goods at all, then consumers who purchase sporting goods less than once a month, next 1–3 times a month, 4–6 times a month, 7–9 times a month, as well as consumers who purchase sporting goods more than 10 times a month. The sample of variables contained the system of three general attitudes which were modelled by the seven-point Likert scale. The results of the measuring were analysed by multivariate analysis (MANOVA), univariate analysis (ANOVA) and Post Hoc test. Based on the statistical analyses it was found that significant differences occur at multivariate level, as well as among all three variables at a significance level of (p=.000). Hence, it is interesting to highlight that it was found that significant differences showed up between the consumers who purchase sporting goods. The significant differences were found in two out of three variables, while the consumers who purchase sporting goods less than 3 times a month had much more negative attitudes toward advertising through sport.
In modern tourism development, destinations are treated as tourism products that successfully compete in the market thanks to their attractive and highly competitive elements. The destination brand ...demonstrates the location, attractions and activities within the borders. Creating a brand is a long process, and an established brand is kept in the minds of consumers for a very long time. Therefore, it is necessary to have a long-term vision of the destination brand based on the knowledge and cooperation of all those involved in creating a tourism product. The created destination brand that is successfully represented by the relevant market segments through communication channels becomes a powerful tool in gaining and attracting market demand. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze Vojvodina as a multicultural tourist destination and point out how recognizable it is as such a brand in the tourism business. The main goal is to look at the situation and perspectives for placing products on the domestic, and especially on the international tourist market. The ultimate goal is to include experts from this field and the local population in the project of developing the brand of Vojvodina tourism, in order to revive abandoned rural places, preserve the villages and tradition.
Vojvodina has long been known as an area of high-quality and varied food. In this regard, gastro tourism in its capital is one of the most attractive tourism products. That is the reason why our ...research was conducted in Novi Sad, aimed to examine the satisfaction of domestic and foreign tourists with the gastro offer of this city. The results of the research show that the gastro offer of Novi Sad is an important motive in attracting both domestic and foreign tourists, but that foreign tourists are still more satisfied with it. Further, there are differences in attitudes between male and female tourists, because male tourists show a higher degree of satisfaction with the gastro offer compared to female tourists, while other socio-demographic characteristics (education and age) are not related to the degree of their satisfaction. The results of the research can be useful in the development of future strategies for the development of tourism in Novi Sad and Vojvodina. They can also serve as a model for analysing tourists' satisfaction with other forms of tourism offer.
The aim of this paper is to present the results of the recent collecting earthworms, with new localities and new habitats in Vojvodina Province. The sporadic field investigation was carried out ...during 2013-2020. In this paper we report new records of Criodrilus lacuum Hoffmeister, 1845 (family Criodrilidae) proved to be new species for the fauna of Vojvodina Province. Also, information on the taxonomic status of individual species was provided. Fifteen earthworm species and subspecies from family Lumbricidae have been registered. Six taxa were found to be synonymous with nominal species, so that the number decreases to 31 species, from 10 genera. Our data demonstrate clearly that the earthworm fauna of the Vojvodina Province is relatively poor, monotonous and that the impact of intensification of agricultural practices effect on loss of soil biodiversity.
Štúdia skúma dynamiku formovania obrazu slovenskej komunity vo Vojvodine v slovenských a srbských politických naratívoch od 19. storočia po súčasnosť. Zameriava sa na to, ako sa prejavujú jeho ...rozdiely v (česko)slovenskom a juhoslovanskom (srbskom) kontexte. Prvá časť štúdie skúma nacionalizačné procesy medzi príslušníkmi slovenskej komunity v dnešnej Vojvodine od 19. storočia do zániku habsburskej monarchie. Ďalšie časti sú venované postaveniu slovenskej menšiny vo Vojvodine v podmienkach juhoslovanského štátu v medzivojnovom období, ako aj jej vzťahom s Československou republikou. Nasledujúce časti sa zaoberajú postavením tejto komunity počas druhej svetovej vojny, v socialistickej Juhoslávii a po jej rozpade na začiatku 90. rokov 20. storočia v kontexte medzištátnych vzťahov, ale aj dynamikou intraetnických interakcií. Príspevok vychádza z prístupu symbolického interakcionizmu, založenom na formovaní vzájomného vnímania pozdĺž etnických hraníc a naprieč nimi, ako aj prostredníctvom praktík vnútroetnickej integrácie a diferenciácie.
On 13 January 2019, an individual Oriental turtle dove (Streptopelia orientalis Latham, 1790) was recorded. The species is shortly observed during tree-perching in an intensive agricultural landscape ...near Temerin Town, Vojvodina Province, Northern Serbia. The observed dove was a putative juvenile bird belonging to the subspecies meena. This finding represents the first observation of the Oriental turtle dove and the sixth native species from the order of Columbiformes recorded in Serbia.
The subject of the review article is the development of rural tourism based on innovative food products. The aim of this paper is to identify key forms of rural entrepreneurial tourism in Vojvodina. ...Gastronomy plays a significant role in presenting the culture and way of life of a certain area and reflects new trends in tourism-related to authenticity, sustainability, healthy lifestyle, and revival of tradition. The development of rural tourism should be based on efficient investment in the tourist offer through entrepreneurial projects that are in line with modern demand trends, including the production of food products that are gradually appearing on the market. Investing in the tourist offer in rural tourist destinations would affect the growth of income from rural tourism, and thus the economic development of rural areas and the state itself.
Recent advances in post-IR IRSL dating have led to breakthroughs in dating upper Middle Pleistocene loess sequences. Here, an elevated temperature post-IR IR protocol using a second IR stimulation ...temperature of 290°C is applied to eleven polymineral fine-grain (4–11μm) samples from the lower part of the Middle–Lower Pleistocene Stari Slankamen loess–palaeosol sequence with the aim of refining the site's age model and investigating the behaviour of both the IR50 and the pIRIR290 signals in material close to or in luminescence signal saturation. Both signals from the 8 samples below the prominent erosion surface represented by a gravel layer at ~13m were found to be in field saturation (i.e. no systematic increase in burial dose with depth). The average ratio of the sensitivity-corrected natural signal to the laboratory saturation level for the pIRIR290 is 1.00±0.03 (n=8) indicating that field saturation is equal to laboratory saturation for this signal. Minimum equivalent dose estimates were calculated from 2*D0 values, giving minimum age estimates of ~230–390ka; this result suggests an upper limit for dating these loess deposits of ~300ka. The age estimate of the younger sample SSK2 is in good agreement with the quartz OSL age, showing that the pIRIR290 signal is bleachable in nature and can be used to date material as young as ~20ka. Our data suggest that the loess unit V-L2 accumulated during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 and that the erosional event marked by an unconformity and gravel layer between loess units V-L2 and V-L3 has a minimum age of ~170ka. Pedocomplex V-S1 can be correlated with the complete MIS 5 period. Furthermore we suggest a minimum age of ~250ka for the loess unit V-L3 and palaeosols V-S3, V-S4 and V-S5; considerably older than proposed by many previous studies.
•Luminescence dating of Stari Slankamen loess gives ages from 20 ka to >250ka.•Youngest feldspar age supported by quartz age.•Both IR50 and pIRIR290 signals in field saturation in older samples.•PIRIR290 signals from older samples also in laboratory saturation — no fading.
