Has Budva forgotten its ancient past?: on methods of protection and presentation of Budva’s ancient heritage
U radu se iznose zapažanja u vezi sa bogatom zbirkom antičkih spomenika pronađenih na teritoriji današnje budvanske opštine. Riječ je o antičkoj nekropoli u kojoj su otkriveni predmeti iz helenističke i rimske epohe (nakit, oruđe i oružje), zatim mozaici pronađeni na ovoj teritoriji, ostaci starih zidina i građevina koje potiču iz ovog perioda (rimske građevine i „budvanski Akropolj”). Ukazano je na značaj svjedočanstava antičke budvanske prošlosti, uz osvrt na metode i principe čuvanja i prezentovanja ovih spomenika uz kritičku analizu problema otuđenja pomenutog nasljeđa.Budva represents one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. It was governed by
various nations; the largest number of material traces was left by Illyrians, Romans, and Greeks.
The interest for the heritage of the above mentioned civilizations has never been particularly
noteworthy – the statues from the period were discovered by accident in the middle of the
previous century, the artifacts have never been thoroughly explored, the majority of objects
was either destroyed or stolen due to careless and unprofessional excavations or even donated
to museums in Belgrade, Split, Zagreb, and Cetinje. Nowadays, Budva treasures only a small
part of its history, which still does not attract the attention of the local people due to the fact
the objects lack an adequate presentation. The most important treasury from this period is an
antique necropolis situated near the city walls of the Old Town. The necropolis contained various
lavishly decorated jewelry, tools, and weapons from the Hellenistic and the Roman periods.
Today, we can see numerous antique mosaics and the foundations of the Old Town walls, the so
called “Budva Acropolis”, which is the present day citadel. The preserved artifacts are kept in the
City Museum of Budva. However, they are not worthily represented – the local people do not
possess enough knowledge about the antique period of their history
Budva’s Antient legacy as cultural heritage: On remembrance and oblivion in relation to Budva’s ancient past
U radu se iznose zapažanja o principima i načinima pamćenja
i zaštite antičkog budvanskog nasljeđa, s naglaskom na razdoblju od
prve polovine XX vijeka do danas. Obuhvaćena je bogata zbirka antičkih
spomenika koji su pronađeni na teritoriji današnje Budve. Razmatra se
antička nekropola u kojoj su otkriveni predmeti iz helenističkog i rimskog
perioda (oruđe, oružje i nakit), zatim budvanski Akropolj i ostaci rimskih
građevina, kao i mozaici koji su pronađeni na ovoj teritoriji. Uz istorijski
pregled procesa čuvanja i otuđenja, u radu se iznosi kritički osvrt na principe
istraživanja, zaštite i prezentacije budvanske antičke baštine. Cilj rada je da
predstavi svjedočanstvene potencijale i značaj antičkog budvanskog nasljeđa
u kontekstu kulturne baštine, te načine pretrajavanja antičkih spomenika
iz heritološke perspektive.It is the aim of this paper to emphasize the importance of pro- tecting Budva’s ancient legacy, with an overview of the most important ancient
sites and monuments, its intangible cultural heritage, as well as previous praxes
of research and prevention of Budva’s ancient patrimony. Ancient Budva isn’t
merely a testimony about the distant past of the town, but also a reminder of
the heterogeneous culture which existed in the area. The archaeological arte- facts found in Budva (the ancient necropolis, fragments of city gates, Budva’s
acropolis, villas, basilica, and mosaics) are memorials of diverse traditions
which coexisted in the area and created new and specific modes of living. As
one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast, Ancient Budva was governed by various ethnicities. The largest number of material traces were left by
the Illyrians, Greeks, and Romans. The monuments and sites from the period
were discovered by accident in the previous century, and the artefacts have never been thoroughly explored, as the majority of objects was either destroyed or
stolen due to careless and unprofessional excavations, or donated to museums
in Belgrade, Split, Zagreb, and Cetinje (lavishly decorated jewellery, tools,
glass and pottery from the Hellenistic and Roman periods). These artefacts
correspond to the excellent artistic production of the time. Knowledge about
the wealthy trade centre on the coast – which was positioned near main trade
roads and, therefore, at a centre of communication on the Eastern Adriatic
coast – would profoundly improve our understanding of Budva’s past. How- ever, to become part of the contemporary collective identity of Budva, this
past has to be thoroughly explored, presented, and validated. Ancient Budva
is still present in modern Budva. It welcomes the visitors of the Old Town,
guest of Avala Hotel, and travellers who walk through Budva’s surrounding
area. It calls for examination and research. Nevertheless, if we disregard this
heritage, Ancient Budva’s past will be forgotten once more
Garden as Ideal Landscape of Its Time - Arcadia in the Garden of the Sorkočević Villa in Rijeka Dubrovačka
The garden of the Sorkočević Villa in Rijeka Dubrovačka will be studied as
an entity in which morphological and phenomenological components are
inseparable – in relation to the culture of Dubrovnik villas and the Italian
Renaissance and Baroque concepts, considered in the context of the longue durée.
The research goal is to examine the value of the garden in the social and private life
of the villa, its representational value as well as the performance in the context of
locus amoenus – one of the crucial elements of the concept of Arcadia. Accordingly,
the garden will be considered as the active constructor and carrier of ideas of its
time, reflected in literature, philosophy, and art
Prilozi Bogomira Aćimovića Dalme u „Nedeljnim ilustracijama“ o francuskim izložbama i jugoslovenskim umjetnicima u Parizu
In her contribution ‘The Articles on French Exhibitions and Yugoslav Artists in Paris Written
by Bogomir Aćimović Dalma and published in the Nedeljne Ilustracije’ Katarina Jović analyses
the criticism of painter, sculptor, and poet Bogomir Aćimović Dalma who belonged to the already
mentioned Association of Yugoslav Artists, Painters and Sculptors in France, and contributed to the
contemporary art as an artist, philanthropist, and art critic. Dalma’s articles on art present information
and critical reviews about the most important events for Yugoslav artists who exhibited in Paris
at the time. As the only correspondent for the Nedeljne ilustracije who lived abroad, Dalma in 1931
and 1932 provided prompt information about artistic events in France. In Dalma’s writings, the art
world was observed through art, artists, critics, public, and the market. His criticism was descriptive
as well as synthetic, occasionally written in the appealing poetic language.

Wall-painting in the salon of Brajković-Martinović palace
The paper deals with aesthetic features and conceptual
values of wall-painting in the salon of Brajković-Martinović palace. This
is the only originally preserved salon from Perast, created in the second half
of the 19th century. As such, the salon is observed as the precious component
of the cultural heritage of Perast and Boka Kotorska, owing to its monumental
values and documentative potentials. The goal of the research is to
examine the iconographic characteristics of wall painting from this salon -
form, style and its symbolic significations. Additionaly, examination leads to
the interpretation of its representative value, which demonstrates the evocative
potentials of private-space-decoration and culture of living. Accordingly,
author considers the wall-painting regarding the historical cultural circumstances
of the local community and the contemporaneous European cultural
milieu. Wall decoration from Brajković’s salon is considered in the context
of traditional and modern compound, with local and external influences
Aesthetic Experience in Music Salons during the Fin de Siècle: Salon of the Brajković Family in Perast
Rad će se usredotočiti na analizu potencijala glazbenog i vizualnog doživljaja u građanskim salonima tijekom fin de siècle. Idući ukorak s onovremenom transformacijom glazbenog iskustva, potaknutom uvjerenjima da izvedba instrumentalne glazbe u privatnom prostoru može stimulirati individualnu kontemplaciju, saloni krajem stoljeća postaju uređeni u skladu s načelima estetskog doživljaja koji objedinjuje auditivnu i vizualnu percepciju. Studija slučaja u ovom radu je salon obitelji Brajković iz Perasta u Boki kotorskoj, jedan od rijetkih glazbenih salona s kraja 19. stoljeća koji je sačuvao izvorno uređenje. U radu se tumači vizualna manifestacija glazbe u ovom salonu, njezina ikonografska obilježja i reprezentativna vrijednost. Interpretacija obuhvaća znanja i pristupe iz povijesti umjetnosti, a osim toga autorica će se osloniti i na spoznaje iz područja povijesti glazbe, povijesti filozofije i kulturne antropologije. Cilj rada jest analiza značenja, uloge i vrijednosti glazbenog salona kao osobitog estetskog i konceptualnog prostora koji se krajem 19. stoljeća pojavljuje na teritoriju Boke kotorske.The paper explores the potentialities of musical and visual experience in bourgeois salons of the fin de siècle. In response to the evolving musical experience within private spaces, where instrumental performances were believed to elicit individual contemplation, music salons of the late 19th century were organised in line with the principles of an aesthetic experience that unified auditory and visual perception. The case study in this paper is the salon of the Brajković family in Perast, Bay of Kotor, one of the rare music salons from the late 19th century that has preserved its original decor to the present day. The paper examines the visual manifestation of music in this space, its iconographic features and representative value, drawing upon insights and approaches from art history, as well as the history of music, philosophy, and cultural anthropology. The objective has been to analyse the meaning, role, and value of music salons as distinctive aesthetic and conceptual spaces present in the Bay of Kotor at the close of the 19th century
Evaluation of the use by-ethanol plant in broilers
Industrija proizvodnje etanola stvara nusproizvode koji se mogu koristiti kao hrana za domaće životinje. Ti nusproizvodi su bogati proteinima, energijom i fosforom. Istraživanje je provedeno s ciljem utvrđivanja učinka primjene nusproizvoda u hranidbi tovnih pilića starosti 3 tjedna. Pilići su bili podijeljeni u tri skupine hranjene sa 0,15 i 25% DDGS -a (suhi trop s otopinom) u smjesi. Praćen je dnevni prirast, unos hrane i zdravstveno stanje brojlera od drugog tjedna do kraja tova. Također kod klanja praćen je randman, pH, i boja prsiju. Istraživanje je pokazalo da dodavanje DDGS ne utječe negativno na prirast, povećava konverziju, te pozitivno utječe na spektar boja kože prsiju. Cijena prirasta bila najniža kod skupine hranjene sa 25% DDGS – a.
Ako se pravilno koriste, nusproizvodi mogu predstavljati djelomičnu zamjenu za kukuruz i soju u obroku.Industry of ethanol production produces by-products that may be used as feed for domestic animals. These by-products are rich in protein, energy and phosphorus. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of by-products in the diets of broilers age of 3 weeks. Chickens were divided into three groups fed with 0.15 and 25% of DDGS (distiller grains with soluble) mixture. What was monitored is daily gain, feed intake and health of broilers from the second week until the end of the fattening period. Also at slaughter was monitored yield, pH, and color chest. Research has shown that adding DDGS does not adversely affect growth, increase conversion, and positively influence the spectrum of chest color. The price of growth was the lowest in the group fed with 25% DDGS.
If properly used, by-products can represent a partial replacement for corn and soy in the diet
L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria: A case report
Introduction. L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria (L-2-HGA) is an autosomal
recessive neurometabolic disease with a slowly progressive course and
characterized by increased levels of hydroxyglutaric acid in urine,
cerebrospinal fluid and plasma. In this condition clinical features mainly
consist of mental deterioration, ataxia and motor deficits. Case Outline. The
patient is a 16-year-old girl, the first and only child of healthy,
non-consanguineous parents of Serbian origin. At the age of 4 years her walk
became unsteady and ataxic. Other signs of cerebellar involvement were soon
observed. Head circumference was above two standard deviations (55 cm). Mild
mental retardation was revealed by formal intelligence testing (IQ 60). MR
examination of the brain showed confluent subcortical white matter lesions
spread centripetally, and atrophy of the cerebellar vermis with involvement
of dentate nuclei, without deep white matter abnormalities. Laboratory
investigation revealed increased amounts and a very large peak of HGA in
urine and plasma. Enantiomeric analysis confirmed the L-configuration (>90%)
establishing the diagnosis of L-2-HGA. The first epileptic seizure, partial
with secondary generalization, occurred at age of 8 years. Favorable seizure
control was achieved. A slow progression of neurological impairment was
noted. Therapeutic trials with oral coenzyme Q10 and with oral riboflavin
showed no biochemical and clinical effects. Recently, the diagnosis was
proven by the presence of a mutation in the L-2-HGA gene. Conclusion. To our
knowledge, this is the first report of L-2-HGA in Serbia. L-2-HGA must be
considered in the differential diagnosis based on specific findings in
cranial MRI
Experience of mothers of children with Williams syndrome
Williamsov sindrom rijedak je neurorazvojni poremećaj koji ulazi u skupinu rijetkih bolesti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u iskustvo života i dostupne podrške za djecu koja imaju dijagnozu ove rijetke bolesti iz perspektive roditelja, od koje prema neslužbenim evidencijama boluje 11 osoba u RH. U radu su prikazani rezultati prvog istraživanja u Hrvatskoj u kojem su sudjelovale majke djece s Williamsovim sindromom. Riječ je o kvalitativnom istraživanju. Podaci su prikupljeni polustrukturiranim intervjuom, te su analizirani i obrađeni metodom tematske analize. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da sudionice imaju iskustvo veće emocionalne povezanosti i bliskosti među članovima obitelji od rođenja djeteta s Williamsovim sindromom, te da imaju podršku od supružnika i drugih članova obitelji i roditelja djece s istom dijagnozom. S druge strane, ova rijetka dijagnoza suočava majke s teškoćama vezanim uz usklađivanje životnih uloga, socijalnom izolacijom i nerazumijevanjem okoline te svakodnevnom skrbi za dijete. Zaključno, rad stavlja u fokus iskustvo života majki čija djeca imaju dijagnozu Williamsovog sindroma. Rezultati daju poticaj roditeljima, oboljelima, praktičarima i znanstvenicima za daljnja istraživanja i praktične mjere koje će unaprijediti mrežu podrške za djecu i odrasle osobe oboljele od rijetkih bolesti.Williams syndrome is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, and the present study aimed to gain insights into the life experiences of affected children and the support available to them. This qualitative study is the first to explore the experiences of mothers of children with Williams syndrome in Croatia, which is home to 11 such children based on unofficial data. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews showed that mothers experienced in increase in emotional connection and intimacy among family members after the birth of the affected child, and that they received support from their husbands, other family members and other parents of affected children. At the same time, the mothers reported difficulties such as adjusting and harmonizing life roles, social isolation, lack of understanding from other people and daily care for the child. These findings may encourage and guide future research on improving the quality of life of children and adults suffering from rare diseases
Morphological variation of the Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara Jacquin, 1787) in the Central Balkans
The variation in some of the morphometric, meristic and qualitative characters of the Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) in five population samples from mountains of the Central Balkans was analyzed using univariate and multivariate statistics. The morphological differentiation was greater in males than in females and is more expressed in the morphometric than in the pholidosis and qualitative characters. The largest differences in morphometric traits appeared between the populations from the Šara and Stara Planina mountains. The 'median' pileus pattern generally prevailed, with the appearance of other states in a certain proportion in some of the populations. Further analyses of the possible morphological and ecological distinctions of the population from Mt Tara are proposed.U ovom radu analizirana je morfološka varijabilnost populacija planinskog guštera (Zootoca vivipara) iz centralnog dela Balkanskog poluostrva u pogledu većeg broja morfometrijskih, merističkih i kvalitativnih karaktera pomoću univarijantih i multivarijantnih statističkih metoda. Morfološka diferencijacija populacija je više izražena kod mužjaka nego kod ženki i to znatno više u morfometrijskim karakterima nego u folidozi i kvalitativnim karakterima. Najveće razlike u pogledu morfometrijskih karaktera su utvrđene između populacija sa Šar-planine i Stare planine. Dominira konstelacija pileusa 'median' tipa, sa pojavom manjeg procenta ostalih stanja u pojedinim populacijama. Predlažu se dalje analize moguće morfološke i ekološke različitosti populacije sa planine Tare.Projekat ministarstva br. 143052: Patterns of amphibian and reptile diversity on the Balkan Peninsul
