The first breeding record of the Cattle Egret Bubulcus ibis in Croatia

On May 3rd 2015, two Cattle Egret Bubulcus ibis pairs were recorded while building nests in heronry in the Krapje đol Ornithological Reserve (Lonjsko polje Nature Park). Possible third pair was seen, too. A month later, on June 7th, birds were recorded while carying food on two of three previously mentioned locations. This is the first breeding record of the Cattle Egret in Croatia

Inštitút vyšetrovacieho sudcu vo francúzskom trestnom konaní – inšpirácia alebo prežitok?

Kontinentálny systém trestného konania v rôznej miere prepája prvky typické pre inkvizičný a akuzačný proces s cieľom nájsť ideálnu kombináciu, ktorá by garantovala zachovanie práv obvineného v čo možno najširšej miere za súčasného náležitého objasnenia skutkového stavu. Viaceré krajiny kontinentálnej Európy, medzi nimi aj Francúzska republika, si doposiaľ zachovávajú niektoré výsostne inkvizičné prvky vo svojich trestných konaniach – najmarkantnejším z nich je inštitút vyšetrovacieho sudcu. Ingerencia súdnej moci v predsúdnom konaní nie je ničím novým a aj v podmienkach Slovenskej republiky a Českej republiky sa s týmto javom stretávame prostredníctvom inštitútu sudcu pre prípravné konanie, resp. úkonov súdu v prípravnom konaní. V článku autori analyzujú inštitút vyšetrovacieho sudcu a jeho historický vývoj vo francúzskom trestnom konaní a porovnávajú ho s jeho „náprotivkami“ v Slovenskej a Českej republik

О функциональном назначении мегалитических сооружений

It is proved the conception, according to which the megalithic constructions intended for formation of streams of energy, arising up in these constructions in certain calendar dates under the influence of effects of a relative positioning of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth in an order to change properties of water.Обосновывается концепция, согласно которой мегалитические сооружения предназначались для формирования потоков энергии, возникавших в этих сооружениях в определённые календарные даты под влиянием эффектов взаимного расположения Солнца, Луны и Земли для того, чтобы изменять свойства воды

Evaluation of the /sup 63/Cu activation foil for determining the neutron dose in the energy range of 1 eV to 1 MeV

The appropriateness of the /sup 63/Cu activation foil for determining the neutron dose in the energy region from 1 eV to 1 MeV has been investigated for spectra of seven different criticality accident configurations. A program was written for folding the published spectra with the /sup 63/Cu activation cross sections and with the fluence-to-dose or kerma conversion factors. It is shown that for these spectra the neutron dose and kerma result primarily from the energy region above 15 keV whereas the measured /sup 64/Cu activity is mainly determined by the fluence in the region between 1 eV and 15 keV. Uncertainties in the fluence spectrum in the low-energy region between 1 eV and 15 keV, which in reality do not affect the dose contribution, might lead to large deviations in the measured /sup 64/Cu activity and hence to the derived dose in the 1 eV to 1 MeV range. Use of /sup 10/B shielding for attenuating the fluence in the 1-eV to 15-keV region was evaluated, leading to the conclusion that the necessary amount of boron material is unacceptably large and would appreciably increase the cost of the dosimeter currently used at Los Alamos. The lower limit of neutron detectability would also be increased

Bird checklist of the Sisačka Posavina area, 1881–1998

A unified bird checklist has been created for the area of Sisačka Posavina. The list summarises the occurrence of a total of 246 species between 1881 and 1998. The list mostly refers to species recorded in Lonjsko Polje Nature Park and the wider geographical area of Lonjsko Polje. Data from recorded published and unpublished papers during the period were used for compiling the bird checklist. The list is a basis that needs supplementing with new records of bird species made in the area and constitutes in addition a contribution to the establishment of the avifauna diversity of Lonjsko Polje Nature Park.Izrađen je objedinjen popis ptica za područje Sisačke posavine kojim je ustanovljeno dolaženje ukupno 246 vrsta u razdoblju 1881. do 1998. Popis se najvećim dijelom odnosi na ptice u području Parka prirode Lonjsko Polje te zemljopisnom području Lonjskog polja. Za izradu popisa rabljeni su dosad zabilježeni podaci iz objavljenih i neobjavljenih radova u spomenutom razdoblju. Popis predstavlja osnovu za dalje dopunjavanje novo zabilježenim vrstama ptica Sisačke posavine kao i prilog valorizaciji avifaunističke različitosti Parka prirode Lonjsko Polje
