Faithful Tourism as an Important Segment of Religious Tourism

Snezana Besermenji 세계문화관광학회 2007 Conference Proceedings Vol.8 No.0

Today, there is an entire range of cultural activities, which are offered on tourist destinations, and during which process tourists take a part personally. This is why there are numerous kinds of cultural tourism. Shows in the religious tourism are one of the most significant kinds of cultural tourism. Tourist believers do not visit places of pilgrimage because tourist advertisements have influence on them. For this reason, pilgrims, even when they are in a great number, do not have characteristics of mass tourists. Religious tourists are interested in holy places mostly, and travel because of worships, religious rituals, festivals or some other religious attractions. Based on the mentioned motives, and according to Nolan, religious tourist activities can be divided into: pilgrimage shrines, religious tourist attractions and places of religious festivals.

( Snezana Besermenji ),( Mirjana Penic ),( Tanja Armenski ),( Miroslav D. Vujicic ) 세계문화관광학회 2016 International Journal of Culture and tourism Resea Vol.9 No.1

Due to its geographical location, natural features and cultural heritage, Novi Sad could become a significant destination of urban tourism. Since the beginning of its existence, Novi Sad has changed several states and rulers. Historical circumstances affected the morphological characteristics of the city, as well as the function of the settlement, which was initially strategic, and it is now mostly focused on secondary and tertiary part of the economy. The city, which uses six official languages, is a unique combination of cultures of different nations and as such has the ideal conditions for the application of the concept of the creative city. The purpose of this paper is to research the elements of satisfaction and the elements of discontent of the surveyed tourists who stayed in Novi Sad. Mentioned research enabled us to find out where the city tourism in Novi Sad stands today, in order to be able to plan its development in future.

The transport of cations in the cardiomyocytes, crucial for the functioning of the heart, can be affected bywalnut diet due to the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Healthy and metabolically compromised rats (drinking 10%fructose solution) were subjected to a diet supplemented with 2.4 g of walnuts for 6 weeks to investigate the effect on proteinsinvolved in cation transport in the heart cells. Fructose increased the level of the a1 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and thephosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in the heart of control and walnut-eating rats, while elevatedL-type calcium channel a (LTCCa), sodium–calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1), and Maxi Ka level were observed only in rats thatdid not consume walnuts. However, walnuts significantly increased the cardiac content of LTCC, NCX1, and Maxi Ka, as wellas Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits of KATP channel, but only in fructose-naive rats. In animals that drank fructose, a significantincreasing effect of walnuts was observed only in Akt kinase phosphorylation, which may be a part of the antiarrhythmicmechanism of decreasing cation currents in cardiomyocytes. The walnut diet-induced increase in LTCC and NCX1 expressionin healthy rats may indicate intense cardiac calcium turnover, whereas the effect on Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits suggestsstimulation of KATP channel transport in the cardiac vasculature. The effects of walnuts on the cation-handling proteins in theheart, mostly limited to healthy animals, suggest the possible use of a walnut-supplemented diet in the prevention rather thanthe treatment of cardiological channelopathies.

Possibilities for the Develpoment of Wine Tourism by “Building” Wine Roads in Vojvodina

Tatjana Pivac,Snezana Besermenji,Kristina Kosic 세계문화관광학회 2010 Conference Proceedings Vol.11 No.0

In the wide range of social and natural treasures of Vojvodina, which make the framework of the development of tourism, the special place in forming the tourist product is taken by viticulture and wine production. The region of Vojvodina has arranged and stable areas full of vineyards with important wine growing and production. “The wine road” is one of the tourist products, which has in the past years attracted more and more tourists. Most of the countries from our surrounding have managed successfully to solve, stimulate and organize so called “wine tourism” by creating “wine roads” such as Wine roads in Slovenia and Croatia, in Germany, Austria, Hungary, etc. “Wine roads of Vojvodina” would significantly contribute to increasing the quality of wine and would also have positive impact on the standard of manufacturers and also all those who would be included in this action. For the purpose of the paper a survey was conducted, which was carried out in order to see present state of wine cellars in Vojvodina and to find out what the possibilities for their inclusion in the wine tourism are, i.e. what the chances for opening wine roads are.

The Importance of the Culture of National Minorities for Tourism Development in Vojvodina Province (Serbia)

( Ivana Blesic ),( Tatjana Pivac ),( Snezana Besermenji ),( Msc Igor Stamenkovic ) 한국문화관광학회 2014 문화관광연구 Vol.16 No.2

According to the 2011 census, there are over 26 nationalities and national and ethnic groups in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, which makes it a highly multi-ethnic environment. Each ethnic group nurtures a distinctive culture and tradition, which are recognized as having a highly significant potential for tourism development in Vojvodina. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted with the aim of determining the activities of tourism organizations and travel agencies that are focused on implementing achievements of these cultures into a tourism product. The survey included 27 tourism organizations and 25 travel agencies from the territory of Vojvodina. The results indicate a high level of interest of tourism organizations in promoting national minorities living in their municipalities. On theother hand, travel agencies do not have many travel arrangements that promote the culture of national minorities of Vojvodina.

Bojan Calija,Nebojsa Cekic,Snezana Savic,Danina Krajisnik,Rolf Daniels,Jela Milic 대한약학회 2011 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.34 No.6

In the present work we investigated the feasibility of chitosan treated Ca-alginate microparticles for delivery of naproxen in lower parts of GIT and evaluated influence of formulation factors on their physicochemical characteristics and drug release profiles. Investigated factors were drug/polymer ratio, chitosan molecular weight, chitosan concentration in hardening medium, and hardening time. Sixteen microparticle formulations were prepared utilizing 24 full factorial design (each factor was varied at two levels). Microparticles size varied between 262.3 ± 14.9 and 358.4 ± 21.7 μm with slightly deformed spherical shape. Low naproxen solubility and rapid reaction of ionotropic gelation resulted in high encapsulation efficiency (> 75.19%). Under conditions mimicking those in the stomach, after two hours, less than 6.18% of naproxen was released. Significant influence of all investigated factors on drug release rate was observed in simulated small intestinal fluid. Furthermore, experimental design analysis revealed that chitosan molecular weight and its concentration had the most pronounced effect on naproxen release. Release data kinetics indicated predominant influence of a pH-dependent relaxation mechanism on drug release from microparticles.

ObjectiveaaSerum parameters of calcium homeostasis were measured based on previously published evidence linking osteoporotic fractures and/or bone/mineral loss with antipsychotics. MethodsaaProspective, four-week, time-series trial was conducted and study population consisted of patients of both genders, aged 35-85 years, admitted within the routine practice, with acute psychotic symptoms, to whom an antipsychotic drug was either introduced or substituted. Serial measurements of serum calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, osteocalcin and C-telopeptide were made from patient venous blood samples. ResultsaaCalcium serum concentrations significantly decreased from baseline to the fourth week (2.42±0.12 vs. 2.33±0.16 mmol/L, p=0.022, n=25). The mean of all calcemia changes from the baseline was -2.6±5.7% (-24.1 to 7.7) with more decreases than increases (78 vs. 49, p=0.010) and more patents having negative sum of calcemia changes from baseline (n=28) than positive ones (n=10) (p=0.004). There were simultaneous falls of calcium and magnesium from baseline (63/15 vs. 23/26, p<0.001; OR=4.75, 95% CI 2.14–10.51), phosphorous (45/33 vs. 9/40, p<0.001; 6.06, 2.59–14.20) and 25(OH)D concentrations (57/21 vs. 13/35, p<0.001; 7.31, 3.25–16.42), respectively. Calcemia positively correlated with magnesemia, phosphatemia and 25(OH)D values. Parathyroid hormone and C-telopeptide showed only subtle oscillations of their absolute concentrations or changes from baseline; calcitonin and osteocalcin did not change. Adjustment of final calcemia trend (depletion/accumulation) for relevant risk factors, generally, did not change the results. ConclusionaaIn patients with psychotic disorders and several risks for bone metabolism disturbances antipsychotic treatment was associated with the decrease of calcemia and changes in levels of the associated ions.

In Yugoslavia, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is one of the important national health problem, but no vaccine has been used to prevent HFRS. Since first HFRS case in 1952, sporadic cases of HFRS occurred every year and over 4,000 registered cases with 1∼16% mortality so far. We performed a prospective, randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Hantavax against HFRS in 3,900 healthy adults living in the endemic areas of Yugoslavia. 1,900 people were given 0.5 ml of Hantavax subcutaneously twice at one month interval and a booster shot at one year after. For controls other 2,000 healthy people were given 0.5 ml of physiolosical saline as a placebo. We investigated HFRS cases in both the vaccinated and nonvaccinated groups by monitoring the program for patient registration in the areas from 1996 to 1998, and the effect of vaccine was analyzed epidemiologically. No confirmed case of HFRS was observed among 1,900 Hantavax vaccinees, while 20 confirmed cases were observed among 2,000 nonvaccinated control group. There were no remarkable side effects among the vaccinees either locally or in general after inoculation of the vaccine. The Hantavax vaccine showed statistically significant protective efficacy against HFRS among Yugoslavian people.
