Globalisation and modernisation have brought about changes in the local rural traditions which, on the one hand, threaten their singularity, and on the other hand, set the stage for a new start. The paper aims to analysethe perception of the Bukovi…
Changes in Platelet Function in Preterm Newborns with Prematurity Related Morbidities
Platelet indices represent useful biomarkers to express the thromboembolic status, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress in preterm newborns. Our study presented platelet count and function changes in prematurity-related morbidities such as respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular bleeding, and anemia of prematurity in preterm newborn cases reported to healthy full-term newborns by flow cytometry and hematological methods. The platel…
Put variety in White’: Multi-analytical investigation of the white pigments inlaid on Early Chalcolithic pottery from Southern Romania
The current study aims to present and discuss the results obtained by complementary archaeometric methods applied for the first time on white pigments inlaid on excised pottery of the Boian-Vidra tradition (Early Chalcolithic, c. 4900-4600 BCE). The samples came from three settlements located in Southern Romania (Sultana-Ghețărie, Vidra, and Vlădiceasca). They were selected considering that the pottery was produced in approximately contemporary s…

Importance of environment quality in sustainable tourism destinations: The young tourists' perception

Heritage advantages vs. economic constraints in the sustainable development framing: A study on social perception in Apuseni Mountains Natural Park
In a natural park, tourism is seen as an economic activity that can easily bring many benefits. Apuseni Natural Park (ANP)was chosen as a case study because it impacts communities (and especially moi) which have preserved their culture and traditions, coming from ancient times, in an area with remarkable natural and anthropogenic tourist resources. The aim of the study is to analyse the perception of local communities (endogenous), and visitors (…
Tourism – A Viable Alternative for the Development of Rural Mountainous Communities. Case Study: Eftimie Murgu, Caraș-Severin County, Romania
Tourism represents a viable alternative for the development of rural mountainous communities, because it can act as an integrating force, capable of revitalising other economic sectors through its multiplicative effect and help improve the populations' quality of life. The Eftimie Murgu commune benefits from generous and variate nature tourism potential and most important from a cultural heritage site: the Rudria Watermill Complex which is the mo…
Tradition and Modernity in the Romanian Rural Space. Case Study: The Arges Sub-Carpathian Foothills
This paper intends to demonstrate on the basis of a case study that rural people’s access to modern goods and services is not necessarily a relentless source of deculturalisation, because it sometimes allows a better management and valorisation of the main characteristics of the rural space. Despite socio-economic unrest and successive changes of political regimes that took place in Romania during the last century, the human communities within th…
The ecotourism’s development in the Romanian Carpathians’ protected areas: Facts, figures and needs

Conservation is in line with sustainable tourism and its alternatives, ecotourism. The present study aimed on analyzes several features of the Carpathian protected heritage and how activities function through environmentally friendly tourism. Result…
Global Change Research in the Carpathian Mountain Region
The Carpathian Mountains in Europe are a biodiversity hot spot; harbor many relatively undisturbed ecosystems; and are still rich in seminatural, traditional landscapes. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Carpathians have experienced widespread land use change, affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Climate change, as an additional driver, may increase the effect of such changes in the future. Based on a workshop organized by the Sci…
