Cilj je rada prikazati davoračko božićno šetano kolo kao specifičnu kulturnu praksu kojom se stoljećima čuvao i prenosio kolektivni identitet zajednice. Ono u dosadašnjoj literaturi nije opisivano ni ...valorizirano. Nakon uvoda ukratko se pojašnjavaju osnovni teorijski pojmovi vezani uz temu rada – kolektivni identitet i kulturno pamćenje – nakon čega se donosi kratak pregled povijesti naselja Davora kao prostora u/na kojem se oblikovala spomenuta kulturna praksa. Središnji dijelovi rada donose pregled pisanih tragova o kolu u Slavoniji pri čemu je naglasak na šetanom ili pjevanom kolu kao njegovoj specifičnoj podvrsti te prikaz davoračkoga božićnog šetanog kola s njegovim posebnostima. Na kraju se rada utvrđuje kako je davoračko božićno šetano kolo sudjelovalo u izgradnji i čuvanju kolektivnoga identiteta zajednice.
This aim of this paper is to present the Davor Christmas walking circle kolo dance as a specific cultural practice. It is a centuries-old practice that has played a vital role in the preservation and transmission of the community’s collective identity. It has not yet been described or evaluated in the existing scholarly literature. The introduction briefly explains the concepts of collective identity and cultural memory as the basic theoretical concepts related to the topic of the paper, followed by a brief overview of the history of the settlement of Davor as the space in which the mentioned cultural practice was formed. The main parts of the paper provide an overview of the written traces of the circle dance in Slavonia, with an emphasis on the walking or singing circle dance as a specific subtype, and a detailed description of the Davor Christmas walking circle dance with its particular characteristics. The paper ends with the conclusion that the Davor Christmas walking circle dance contributed to the establishment and preservation of the community’s collective identity.
U Zajčevu zborskom stvaralaštvu osobita je uloga pripala Hrvatskom pjevačkom društvu „Kolo” (utemeljeno 1862., djelovalo je do 1948.). „Kolo” je bilo prvo pjevačko društvo kojemu je Zajc posvetio ...neku svoju zborsku skladbu (U boj!, 1866.). Ona je označila i početak skladateljeve suradnje ne samo s „Kolom” nego i s drugim hrvatskim i inozemnim pjevačkim društvima te potaknula autora na skladanje većega broja skladbi (46) s eksplicitnom posvetom „Kolu”, u čijemu je arhivu sačuvano 99 opusa iz Zajčeva pera. Na temelju uvida u partiture Zajčevih skladbi posvećenih „Kolu” (pretežito a cappella muških zborskih sastava, ali i vokalno-instrumentalnih te jednoga orkestralnog djela) razmatraju se njihove glazbene i tekstne odrednice, vrijeme i kontekst njihova nastanka te Zajčevi višestruki odnosi s „Kolom” – kao skladatelja, dirigenta vlastitih skladbi i djela drugih autora te kao poticatelja i promicatelja zborske djelatnosti. Ona se očitovala u zajedničkim okupljanjima i nastupima „Kola” i drugih hrvatskih pjevačkih društava, a u širem smislu i u promociji i potvrđivanju hrvatskoga nacionalnog identiteta, napose stvaranjem i izvedbom poticajnih domoljubnih skladbi u vrijeme hrvatske kulturne i društveno-političke stvarnosti nakon popuštanja stega Bachova apsolutizma.
In Ivan Zajc’s compositions for choirs, the Croatian singing society “Kolo” (founded in 1862, operated until 1948) held a significant role. “Kolo” was the first singing society to which Zajc dedicated one of his compositions, titled To the Battle! (1866), marking the beginning of his collaboration not only with “Kolo”, but also with other Croatian and international singing societies. This inspired Zajc to compose a considerable number of pieces (46) explicitly dedicated to “Kolo”, whose archive contains 99 of his works. Based on the scores of Zajc’s compositions dedicated to “Kolo” (predominantly a cappella pieces for male choirs, but also including vocal-instrumental and one orchestral piece), the author discusses their musical and textual features, the time and context of their creation, and Zajc’s multifaceted relationship with “Kolo”: as a composer, conductor of his own compositions as well as works by other authors, and as a supporter and promoter of choir singing. This commitment was evident in joint gatherings and performances involving “Kolo” and other Croatian singing societies. Furthermore, Zajc’s contributions extended to the broader promotion and affirmation of Croatian national identity, particularly through the composition and performance of inspiring patriotic pieces during the challenging period of Croatian cultural and socio-political history after the loosening of Bach’s absolutism.
‘Kolo' is an Ethiopian well-roasted and dehulled barely snack food eaten alone or mixed with other roasted grains with a relatively long shelf life. It is an ancient and staple Ethiopian snack food ...that is being introduced around the globe. Traditionally, Kolo has been prepared by Ethiopian mothers. However, there is a scarcity of documented information about the nutritional profile, consumption status and effect of processing conditions on quality of Kolo. Therefore, the aim of this review is to access the indigenous processing practices, consumption status and the effect of processing conditions in quality of Kolo. The review discussed in detail the raw materials, processing steps, nutritional status, anti-nutritional factors, digestability and functional properties of Kolo from publications from the last thirty years. Due to the high temperature processing condition, the presence of acrylamide is highly likely and this may affect the safety of Kolo. The anti-nutritional factors in Kolo may affect the nutritional quality of Kolo due to the inaccessibility of nutrients. This information could have a significant contribution for future researchers, policy makers, society and producers. In conclusion, there is a need to get more tangible information about the quality and safety of Kolo through well designed scientific research to safeguard the wellbeing of the society.

Perennial flooding is a known environmental hazard in many parts of the Niger Delta. Concern about flooding increases when places of importance to man, such as farmlands and settlements, and food ...supply systems are affected. This study assessed the effect of Seasonal Characteristics of Kolo Creek flooding on farm-plot sizes and crop production during the flood and non – flood seasons. A direct contact survey methodology was employed to measure farm-plot sizes and their extent of inundation during flood and non – flood seasons, and 400 randomly selected farmers along the Kolo Creek, Central Niger Delta were interviewed with a semi – structured questionnaire. Results from the study showed a mean farm-plot size of 0.51±0.00 (Ha) during the non-flood period and 0.10±0.00 (Ha) during the flood period. The results obtained from the study also indicated that only 20.93% of the farm-plots available during the non – flood period was available for farming during the flood period; more than half of the farmlands of about 88.50% of the farmers was seasonally inundated by flood and only 1.75% of the farmers had less than half of the farmlands under the floodwaters. Although farmers adapted by owning many – but – small farm-plots, they cultivated only a few varieties of crops, most of which were not flood tolerant. The study concluded that Kolo Creek flooding greatly reduced farm-plot sizes and therefore recommended the planting of more flood-tolerant crops to maximize use of land and improve crop productivity in the area.

The levels of metals in raw maize seeds and its processed foods (roasted seed and bread) collected from Shendi, Finote Selam and Debre Tabor (Ethiopia) were determined by flame atomic absorption ...spectrometry (major metals) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (trace and heavy metals) after wet digestion. The concentration of the metals determined (mg/kg dry weight) were in the ranges in raw seed, roasted seed, and bread: K 1633–1935, 1753–2008, 1589–2036; Na 125–164, 137–190, 160–195; Mg 388–400, 394–411, 378–401; Ca 66.5–104, 118–178, 102–144; Cr 0.17–1.58, 0.18–1.72, 0.18–1.65; Mn 1.04–3.98, 1.09–4.60, 0.52–2.83; Fe 18.0–115, 16.5–103, 45.3–146; Co 0.41–0.49, 0.50–0.76, 0.34–0.75; Cu 0.04–1.32, 0.04–2.72, 0.05–3.12; Zn 61.7–77.6, 59.2–83.0, 108–116; Pb 0.31–2.59, 0.82–3.11, 1.55–3.41; respectively. Nutritionally, the processed maize foods are found to be better sources of minerals than the raw seeds. Maize seed samples from the three areas of Ethiopia are good sources of essential metals. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in the levels of all the metals among the three samples means except K, Mg and Pb.
