Abstract: The research task of this paper relates to a diachronic cross-section of intercultural relations which existed in the age of humanism and the Renaissance between the British and Mediterranean populations. The first part of the paper focuses on the geostrategic position of trade relations through the Balkan Peninsula, extended and established by its geographical position as the dominant cultural meeting point of all the ethnic groups which made use of the flow of goods and capital in conditions of both wartime and peacetime. The second part of the paper gives an analytical-synthetic insight into the poetic orientation of Džore Držić and Lodovik Paskvalić, who were schooled under the influence of Mediterranean culture and were heralds of intercultural and intertextual dialogue in the south-eastern part of Europe.
Keywords: diachronic cross-section, humanism and the Renaissance, British cultural code, Mediterranean provenance, interculturality, intertextuality

Abstract: The main infections that cause cancer in the European Union (EU) are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Altogether, in 2022, these infections accounted for ~ 5% of all cancers in the EU, mainly of the stomach, cervix uteri and liver. The largest burden of infection-caused cancers was found in the south of the EU and near the eastern border. Substantial progress in the efficacy of interventions against these infections has been made since the release of the 4th edition of the European Code Against Cancer in 2015. Cancers due to infections can increasingly be prevented by prophylactic vaccines (HPV and HBV) and/or prompt diagnosis and treatment that can either cure (HCV and H. pylori) or slow down the infection (HBV and HIV), thus substantially reducing disease risk. Tools to tackle carcinogenic infections are also increasingly accessible and affordable in the EU, but their implementation is slow. Public awareness, political will and cost-effective protocols are necessary to establish large programmes of vaccination or testing and treatment. Progress monitoring, as well as avoiding disinformation and stigma, is crucial to ensure that advances in medical progress are fully leveraged. The recently published 5th edition of the European Code Against Cancer therefore recommends: (1) vaccinate girls and boys against HBV and HPV at the age recommended in your country; (2) take part in testing and treatment for HBV and HCV, HIV and H. pylori, as recommended in your country.

Abstract: Sustainably managed non-native trees deliver economic and societal benefits with limited risk of spread to adjoining areas. However, some plantations have launched invasions that cause substantial damage to biodiversity and ecosystem services, while others pose substantial threats of causing such impacts. The challenge is to maximise the benefits of non-native trees, while minimising negative impacts and preserving future benefits and options. A workshop was held in 2019 to develop global guidelines for the sustainable use of non-native trees, using the Council of Europe % Bern Convention Code of Conduct on Invasive Alien Trees as a starting point. The global guidelines consist of eight recommendations: 1) Use native trees, or non-invasive non-native trees, in preference to invasive non-native trees; 2) Be aware of and comply with international, national, and regional regulations concerning non-native trees; 3) Be aware of the risk of invasion and consider global change trends; 4) Design and adopt tailored practices for plantation site selection and silvicultural management; 5) Promote and implement early detection and rapid response programmes; 6) Design and adopt tailored practices for invasive non-native tree control, habitat restoration, and for dealing with highly modified ecosystems; 7) Engage with stakeholders on the risks posed by invasive non-native trees, the impacts caused, and the options for management; and 8) Develop and support global networks, collaborative research, and information sharing on native and non-native trees. The global guidelines are a first step towards building global consensus on the precautions that should be taken when introducing and planting non-native trees. They are voluntary and are intended to complement statutory requirements under international and national legislation. The application of the global guidelines and the achievement of their goals will help to conserve forest biodiversity, ensure sustainable forestry, and contribute to the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations linked with forest biodiversity.
