Winter breeding of the Long-eared Owl Asio otus in Đakovo

On 9 February 2019, nesting of the Long-eared Owl Asio otus in Đakovo was recorded. The Long-eared Owl is a common resident breeder of Đakovo and its usual breeding season lasts from March until June. On 8 February 2019 the begging call of chicks was heard during the night hours. On 9 February 2019 a nest with circa 3-week-old chicks was found in a nearby park. Taking into consideration the age of the chicks and the fact that the incubation in this species lasts 25-30 days we can conclude that the nesting began in the period between 20 and 30 November 2018

Rare observation of Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus in East Slavonia

On 27 December 2017, a male specimen of Cirl Bunting was observed in agricultural field near the town of Đakovo in East Slavonia. This is the first known occurrence of the species in the lowland part of eastern Croatia. Cirl Bunting is a common resident breeder of the Mediterranean part of Croatia, and a sporadic breeding species in north-western hilly areas in the continental part of the country. Few recent data from the hills of eastern Slavonia suggest that the species might breed here as well

New nesting records of the Rook Corvus frugilegus in Đakovo in the period 2018 – 2020

Since the first half of the 20th century, the Rook has been a regular breeding species in Continental Croatia, as well as in the town of Đakovo in Eastern Slavonia. For unknown reasons, Rooks abandoned Đakovo with the last breeding recorded in 1993. In 2018, Rooks recolonized Đakovo with 10 pairs nesting in the Strossmayer park. In 2019 and 2020, the number of the breeding pairs showed a growing tendency with 20 and 56 pairs recorded, respectively

Basing on post-Soviet referendums analysis the author made a conclusion of objective nature of referendum. The fact, that referendum takes place in most ethnopolitical processes – conflicts, autonomization, disintegration/integration proves the statement. The constructive or destructive role of referendum entirely depends on whom and for what purpose uses this political and legal mechanism

Overview of Abusive and Threatening Language Detection in Urdu at FIRE 2021

With the growth of social media platform influence, the effect of their misuse becomes more and more impactful. The importance of automatic detection of threatening and abusive language can not be overestimated. However, most of the existing studies and state-of-the-art methods focus on English as the target language, with limited work on low- and medium-resource languages. In this paper, we present two shared tasks of abusive and threatening language detection for the Urdu language which has more than 170 million speakers worldwide. Both are posed as binary classification tasks where participating systems are required to classify tweets in Urdu into two classes, namely: (i) Abusive and Non-Abusive for the first task, and (ii) Threatening and Non-Threatening for the second. We present two manually annotated datasets containing tweets labelled as (i) Abusive and Non-Abusive, and (ii) Threatening and Non-Threatening. The abusive dataset contains 2400 annotated tweets in the train part and 1100 annotated tweets in the test part. The threatening dataset contains 6000 annotated tweets in the train part and 3950 annotated tweets in the test part. We also provide logistic regression and BERT-based baseline classifiers for both tasks. In this shared task, 21 teams from six countries registered for participation (India, Pakistan, China, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, and Taiwan), 10 teams submitted their runs for Subtask A, which is Abusive Language Detection and 9 teams submitted their runs for Subtask B, which is Threatening Language detection, and seven teams submitted their technical reports. The best performing system achieved an F1-score value of 0.880 for Subtask A and 0.545 for Subtask B. For both subtasks, m-Bert based transformer model showed the best performance

Očuvanje ptica u urbanom okruženju - fauna divljih ptica u Zoološkom vrtu Osijek, Hrvatska

Zoos are our closest, independent, and continuous link to nature. Apart from providing the opportunity to observe captive and exotic wild animals, they also attract various species of wild birds. For that purpose, the main goal of this study was to provide a list of free-living bird species at the Osijek Zoo. During 2021, fieldwork was performed monthly using a point count transect, except during the breeding season when counts were performed twice a month. A total of 61 species were recorded, belonging to 31 families distributed in 15 orders. The most frequently recorded species were Hooded crow, Corvus cornix and Great tit, Parus major. Five species observed at the Osijek Zoo are listed as endangered species in the Red Book of Birds of Croatia: critically endangered: European roller, Coracias garrulus; endangered: Great egret, Ardea alba and Western marsh harrier, Circus aeruginosus; vulnerable: Little egret, Egretta garzetta and Black stork, Ciconia nigra. It appears that the Osijek Zoo provides a good foundation for a high diversity of bird fauna, indicating that this is a good quality urban area. The Osijek Zoo should also strive to preserve this abundant avifauna, by educating the public on conservation, and forbidding any potentially disturbing behaviours.Zoološki su vrtovi najbliža, neovisna i stalna veza čovjeka s prirodom. Osim što pružaju priliku za interakciju i promatranje egzotičnih i/ili divljih životinja, privlače i mnogo vrsta divljih ptica. Glavni je cilj ovoga istraživanja popis slobodnoživućih vrsta ptica u Zoološkom vrtu Osijek. Tijekom 2021. godine metodom transekta u točki, ptice su osim u sezoni gniježđenja, kada su se brojenja obavljala dva puta mjesečno, promatrane jednom mjesečno. Promatranjem je zabilježeno ukupno 61 vrsta ptica koje pripadaju u 31 porodicu i 15 redova. Najčešće su zabilježene vrste: siva vrana, Corvus cornix i velika sjenica, Parus major. Pet vrsta opažanih u Zoološkom vrtu Osijek uvrštene su kao ugrožene vrste u Crvenu knjigu ptica Hrvatske: zlatovrana, Coracias garrulus ‒ kritično ugrožena, velika bijela čaplja, Ardea alba ‒ ugrožena, eja močvarica, Circus aeruginosus‒ ugrožena, mala bijela čaplja, Egretta garzetta ‒ osjetljiva, crna roda, Ciconia nigra ‒ osjetljiva. Zoološki vrt Osijek dobar je temelj za bogatu raznolikost ornitofaune što ukazuje da je urbano područje Osijeka kvalitetno. Zoološki vrt Osijek trebao bi ulagati u očuvanje bogate faune divljih ptica i educirati građanstvo o biološkoj raznolikosti svoga zavičaja
