Opis:
Ecotourism, understood as a form of leisure conforming with the principles of environmental protection and promoting its natural and cultural values, is dynamically developing in almost all parts of the world. Properly carried out, ecotourism projects may be an essential instrument of regional development. Problems of ecotourism development in four areas of West Africa, i.e. the Comoe National Park (Ivory Coast), the Dogoń Country (Mali), the northern Dallol Boss Region and Koure (Niger), and the Air and Tenere Natural Reserves (Niger) are discussed in the article. A common characteristic of the chosen areas are their significant natural and cultural values and the occurrence of tourist activeness allowing to ąualify them as ecotouristic sites. The analysis of both external and internal success factors in ecotourism leads to the conclusion that, in the discussed regions, ecotourism development is a positive phenomenon. It should, however, be accompanied by continuous supervision of environmental conditions and ecological education of the local population.

The Dalmatian motifs of Miroslav Krleža : space, culture and conflict in the borderlands
Dalmatinski motivi kod Miroslava Krleže : prostor, kultura i sukob na pograničju
Autorzy:
Czerwiński, Maciej
Opis:
The aim of this article is to deal with the disputable role Dalmatia played in the Croatian-Ital-ian-Serbian borderlands, referring to the foremost Croatian and Yugoslav writer Miroslav Krleža. Although he is mostly associated with the Croatian North, i.e., historical Croatia-Slavonia, called sometimes the Panonian cultural complex, his engagement in the discourse of Dalmatia after World War Two cannot be underestimated. In the period 1950-1951 Krleža prepared two exhibitions of me-dieval art (one staged in Paris as L’art médiéval Yougoslave and the other in Zagreb as Zlato i srebro Zadra) and wrote two introductions to their catalogues. In them, he builds a concept of a separate “South Slavic civilisation” that “negates” the bipolarism of Roman-Byzantine competing cultural models (Slavia Romana vs. Slavia Orthodoxa, according to Picchio). Referring to the spatial ap-proach to literature, I attempt to situate the post-war Yugoslav discourse, radically confrontational and militaristic, within historical antagonistic discourses (Croatian-Italian-Serbian).

Opis:
The discussion on the complexity of natural language is a fascinating topic that has been treated by scholars from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives. The main challenge to overcome when studying complexity is represented by its quantification: discussing complexity means dealing with objective measurements. Since languages are systems, i.e. they are made up of elements, it is possible to examine the structural complexity of a language by counting the elements present in the system. Systems (that is, languages) are in turn made of sub-systems (that is, areas), each sub-system being described by a series of features whose inventory sizes can be, for example, relatively small, relatively large, or average. This paper aims at formulating an Index of Phonological Complexity (IPC) based on the typological features covering the phonological area as defined in the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS). After a brief discussion on these features, their recoding and subsequently their normalisation to a common scale will be argued for. Then, three indexes of phonological complexity will be proposed and applied to West African languages. Given its high degree of linguistic diversity determined by both genetic and typological variety, West Africa is an interesting ground for measuring complexity as well as a promising laboratory for further calibration and refinement of the indexes.

Opis:
Akademia Wojskowa w West Point jest najważniejszą uczelnią wojskową w Stanach Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej kształtującą od ponad dwóch stuleci kadrę oficerską amerykańskiej armii. Na mocy międzynarodowych porozumień również Polskie Siły Zbrojne mogą kształcić swoich żołnierzy w tej instytucji. Dotychczas mury uczelni opuściło pięciu polskich kadetów. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu wykazanie, że Akademia w West Point nadal spełnia swoje zadanie, a Polska powinna podjąć starania o to, aby wysłać na studia w tej uczelni kolejnych polskich kadetów.
The US Military Academy at West Point is the most important military academy in the United States forming, for more than two centuries, the US military officer corps. The Polish Armed Forces can educate their officers in this institution. So far, only five Polish cadets graduated the West Point. This article argues that while the Academy still excels in its mission and continues to offer slots to several countries, Poland should make a decision to apply yet again to send cadets to West Point.

Opis:
The metamorphic Atomfjella Complex of the West Ny-Friesland Terrane, which belongs to the Eastern Basement Svalbard Province, is composed of four nappes, namely Dirksodden, Nordbreen, Rekvika and Finlandveggen. All these nappescomprise a granitic gneiss basement associated with a metasedimentary cover, both cut by numerous mafic dykes. At the top of the Atomfjella Complex, close to the boundary with the Mosselhalvaya Group (Nordaustlandet terrane), the lenses of ultramafic rocks also occur. Some authors suggested that they provide evidence for the presence ofa deeply rooted, large-scale tectonic boundary between the West Ny-Friesland and Nordaustlandet terranes. The performed geochemical characterization of amphibolites and ultramafic rocks showed that nearly all major elements (except Si and Fe) as well as LILE, have wide compositional ranges and no obvious trends (Bazarnik, Majka, 2021). It is conceivable that the Caledonian metamorphism may have affected K, Na and P, as well as LILE, and caused scatter of Al, Ti, Ca and Fe, and likely Si. The trace and REE elements plots are characterized mainly by trends that probably express the original magmatic processes. However, the elements that clearly deviate from these trends are disturbed due to either metamorphism or crustal assimilation. According to the Th/Yb vs Nb/Yb relationship, the studied rocks indicate generally low influence of crustal contamination, with only 3 samples in the field of MORB-OIB array (Fig. 4B). Besides the higher content of Mgandsome other minor differences in chemical composition, the ultramafic rocks exhibit trends similar to that of amphibolites. Based on this aforementioned similarity and the confirmed influence of the Caledonian metamorphism on both groups of rocks, we speculate about the common history of both groups of rocks. Moreover, thank sto the identification of metamorphic alterations in ultramafic rocks, it was proved that these rocks must be pre-Caledonian and, in turn, older than the alleged terrane boundary. Thus, the ultramafic bodies located close to the top of the Atomfjella Complex cannot mark the large terrane boundary and do not provide any evidence of a deeply rooted tectonic zone, but merely the result of ascension from deeper levels of the mantle.

Opis:
The monograph entitled ROUND-HEADED BORERS (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) OF DOOARS, WEST BENGAL – A COMPENDIUM by Sumana Saha and Dinendra Raychaudhuri submitted for review has 141 numbered pages which contain both the body of the text, illustrations and photographs and the list of references, index of names being used in the monograph and information about the authors. The family Cerambycidae is one of the most numerous beetle families in the world. They are usually large or very large insects (this family includes the largest beetles of the world) and often richly coloured, especially tropical species. Because of their size, rich palette of colours and relative ease in their collection, these beetles enjoy a high standing among collectors and entomologists. Although this group is fairly well recognised in the world, a lot of new species of the long-horn beetles is being described every year. This primarily applies to tropical regions. However, when analysing individual countries, the situation with identification of long-horn beetles can be very different. Therefore, each new study, especially concerning tropical regions, is extremely valuable when it comes to species identification of not only long-horn beetles but also most beetle families. The monograph being submitted for review is a compendium o f knowledge about long-horn beetles that are to be found in the Dooars region, West Bengal. The examined area seems to be an extremely interesting object of research as it is situated on the border of two zoogeographic regions, Palaearctic and Oriental Regions. The authors divided the monograph into 14 chapters, presenting successively a general characteristics of the long-horn beetles, the area being examined, the terminology being used in the monograph, a taxonomic part together with the list of long-horn beetle species living within the examined area, and a key to their identification. Additionally, the authors characterised 7 species of long-horn beetles in terms of their bionomics. The final part of the monograph contains a short discussion and the list of references which includes 135 items. Within the area examined, the authors have shown 91 species of long-horn beetles, in relation to140 one being reported from West Bengal. These species have been shown from several nature reserves and Gorumara National Park. Despite using different methods of catching and a long time of in which the research took place, this result is not satisfactory. There is an impression that long-horn beetles were collected “incidentally”, during the study being targeted on other groups of invertebrates. All the protected objects being examined have been well characterised and presented on numerous photographs. An important and extremely useful element of the monograph is the key for species identification. Certainly, this element of the monograph will be used by numerous entomologists dealing with long-horn beetles of the Oriental Region. An interesting fact is a pictogram key for the Cerambycidae subfamilies and tribes being attached, as well as presentation of respective species on photographs together with biological information, habitat and geographical distribution in the world. The monograph being discussed is undoubtedly the needed publication which will facilitate the work of many entomologists specialising in the family Cerambycidae of the Oriental Region. At the same time, it is an invitation to further exploration of the wild parts of India which have been left not so much.
