Potkozarje, with regard to the physiognomy of space and development processes, has a complex settlement function. Development centers from the environment have a crucial impact on the development processes in the region. Development impacts changed demographic, functional and spatial structure and a new system of spatial relations was created. The centers in the region have become the zones of extreme concentration of population and functions, thus the region faced many destructive processes and problems of unequal regional development. The aim of this paper is to explore the dynamics of structural changes and to point out the key problems of unequal regional development, as consequences of economic, social and political factors, as well as of diversity of natural basis.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116257915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Along with the mentioned reasons, the appearance of isolation and peripherality, and given the specific geopolitical circumstances, the problems in certain border areas differ from each other (a high level of ethnic conflict and distrust, then the problem of refugees and forced migrants, the slow process of economic transition and many others). The subject of the research in this paper will be related to the analysis and the role of transborder cooperation as a relatively new way of policy in the field of cooperation between political-territorial units, whose goal and function, regarding the geospatial of Bosnia and Herzegovina in particular, is the formation of perspective transborder regions. Also, the aim of the paper would point out that the planning of these areas through the concept of transborder cooperation in the context of political and geographical valorisation represents one of the guidelines, not only for revitalization of the border area in economic terms, but also as a guideline of the future concept of ethnic tolerance and geopolitical stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Western Balkans countries in general. Realiyation of the work is planned by complex general and special methods and techniques of data processing (statistical, cartographic, GIS analysis), in accordance with historical, structural, functional and dialectical methodological approach, then by determining the development functions of the border space, and monitoring of political and geographical processes and problems.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122300555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research of archeological site (on site study) and surroundings (off site study) was done.

The results illustrate the potential of electrical resistivity methods to separate different layers and monitor the subsurface based on electrical resistivity.

The elaboration of hydrological risk maps for the major hydrographical arteries is extremely useful for the development plans of human settlements within plateaus and plains. The Jijia River is the main tributary within the northern sector of the Prut River. It dredges the Moldavian Plain from the NW towards the SE. The modelling of floods in the floodplain of the Jijia River involved three stages. In the first stage, the data necessary for simulating floods were collected (i.e. maximum flows from the hydrometric stations and the LIDAR data). In the second stage, the data obtained were processed (theoretical flows with assurances of 0.1%, 1%, 3% and 5% were calculated using the Pearson III formula and the LIDAR data were processed). In the third stage, the floodable stripes were obtained using the software programs Arc-GIS, HEC-GeoRAS and HEC-RAS. Finally, maps with potential floodable areas were generated. The floodable surface on the Jijia River is 119.078 km for the assurance of 0.1%, 102.06 km for the assurance of 1%, 84.99 km for the assurance of 3% and 71.45 km for the assurance of 5%. Along with the potentially floodable surface, the level of flooding was obtained: it reached a peak value of 6.83 m in case of the assurance of 0.1%. Using the existing data, an analysis was conducted regarding the potential risks in case of major floods. The purpose of the study is to prevent floods and to mitigate their effects on the human settlements within the floodplain of the Jijia River.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128386230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of phylogenetics with considerable research interest in the phylogenetic relationships among the endemic fish species of Ohrid Lake is the main focus of this research article. Salmonidae family is found to be a big family constituting three subfamilies including Salmoninae family. The main research of the present work is aimed at the fishes from the Salmoninae family with more focus on the Salmo genus. Eight types of fishes from the mentioned genus were used in the process of creation of two different phylogenetic trees namely Neighbor-Joining and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) phylogenetic tree. In order to create the trees, the accessions codes for the mitochondrial DNA sequences adopted from the National Center for Biotechnology Information website were imported into MATLAB for further analysis. The resulting trees were investigated further to understand clearly the correlation of Salmo Letnica with the other eight fishes.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126701939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
