Holocene glacial chronostratigraphies in glaciated valleys spread throughout the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen, including the Himalaya, Tibet, Pamir, and Tian Shan, are developed using a landsystems ...approach, detailed geomorphic mapping, and new and published 10Be surface exposure dating. New studies in the Kulti valley of Lahul and the Parkachik valley of the Nun Kun massif of the Himalaya of northern India define three glacier advances at ∼14.7, 12.2, 0.5 ka, in addition to one historically dated late 19th Century advance in the Kulti valley, and one Late Holocene advance at ∼0.2 ka in the Parkachik valley. Three major climatic groups (subdivided into five climatic zones) are defined across the orogen using Cluster Analysis (CA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify glaciated regions with comparable climatic characteristics to evaluate the timing, and extent of Holocene glacier advances across these regions. Our regional analyses across the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggest at least one Lateglacial (∼15.3–11.8 ka) and five Himalayan-Tibetan Holocene glacial stages (HTHS) at ∼11.5–9.5, ∼8.8–7.7, ∼7.0–3.2, ∼2.3–1.0, and <1 ka. The extent (amplitude) of glacier advances in 77 glaciated valleys is reconstructed and defined using equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs). Modern glacier hypsometries are also assessed to help explain the intra-regional variations in glacier amplitudes during each regional glacier advance. A linear inverse glacier flow model is used to decipher the net changes in temperature (ΔT) between periods of reconstructed regional glacier advances in 66 glaciated valleys across different climatic regions throughout the orogen. The 10Be, ELAs, and ΔT data suggest enhanced monsoonal and increased precipitation during the Early Holocene, followed by relative cooling and increased aridity during the Mid- and Late Holocene that influenced glaciation. The sublimation-dominated cold-based glaciers in the northern regions of Himalayan-Tibetan orogen are more affected during these shifts in climate than the temperate glaciers in the south.
•Glacier advances are dated in the Kulti and Parkachik valleys.•Five Holocene glacial stages are defined for the entire Himalayan-Tibetan orogen.•Extensive Early Holocene and progressively restricted Mid- and Late Holocene advances are defined.•A major shift in Early to Mid- and Late Holocene climate forcing is evident.•Cold-based glaciers were most affected during the Holocene climate shift.

The 13th volume of The Romanian Journal for Baltic and Nordic Studies reflects some of the research presented at the 12th International conference on Baltic and Nordic studies titled “Rethinking ...multiculturalism, multilingualism, and cultural diplomacy in Scandinavia and The Baltic Sea Region,” which will be held on May 27-28, 2021, under the auspices of the Romanian Association for Baltic and Nordic Studies. RethinkMulti-Kulti2021 was called to reflect on multiculturalism, multilingualism, and cultural diplomacy in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region 10 years after German Chancellor Angela Merkel predicted the end of German multicultural society. Many politicians with Conservative leanings praised the confirmation that the half-century-cherished multi-kulti “utterly failed,” and far-right gurus interpreted it as an omen. Furthermore, Merkel’s track record as a committed democratic-minded politician, EU leader, and proponent of migrant integration has garnered near-universal support for this argument. Furthermore, in academia, Merkel’s assertion has never been adequately questioned, but rather taken for granted. Meanwhile, policies governing multiculturalism and multilingualism in the EU and EEA have been stuck in a rut, particularly in what Fareed Zakaria properly refers to as illiberal democracies. The purpose of the conference was not to resurrect the political objective behind multi-kulti, but rather to critically reassess the role of multiculturalism, multilinguism, and cultural diplomacy from the viewpoint of Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region. We see Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region as interrelated and partially overlapping by a plethora of historical, cultural, and social channels, hence papers dealing with multiculturalism, multilinguism, and cultural diplomacy as reflected in these regions and wider Europe were planned. Papers on connections, liaisons, affiliations, divergences, animosity, legal or de facto statuses of cultures and languages in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region were also presented during the conference. How multilingualism, multiculturalism, and cultural diplomacy prospered or muddled through transitions from liberal nations to far-right or far-left governments and back were also addressed.

Municipium Claudium Celeiaje skupaj s štirimi drugimi noriškimi naselbinami, ki jih Plinij imenuje oppida ( Virunum, Teurnia, Aguntum in Iuvavum, N. h. 3.146), dobil pravice rimskega municipija pod ...Klavdijem. Celeja je bila eno najbolj cvetočih mest v Noriku in tudi eno od pomembnih provincialnih administrativnih središč; že pred tem je bila močna keltska naselbina, njeni prebivalci so bili keltski Tavriski. Tavriski so najkasneje v l. stol. pr. Kr. kovali svoj lasten denar (tako imenovane vzhodnonoriške oz. tavriskijske srebrne in tudi zlate novce) in si prizadevali doseči čim več neodvisnosti v okviru Noriškega kraljestva, v katerem so igrali najpomembnejšo vlogo Noriki, ki so kovali svoj denar na Koroškem (t.i. zahodnonoriški novci oz. novci Norikov), krožil pa je tudi na sosednjih območjih.
