Item type:Publication, Consumption, motivation and experience in dark tourism: a conceptual and critical analysis(Informa UK Limited, 2020-02-05)A review of recent relevant literature related to dark tourism indicates that there is a growing academic interest in ‘dark tourism consumption’, ‘dark tourism motivation’ and ‘dark tourism experience’. Therefore, the objectives of the present research are threefold: to examine the progress of research on these three concepts; to give a critical analysis of recent research; and to identify research gaps and questions that require fuller examination. In order to adopt new research orientations, the use of a broader post-disciplinary research framework is in need. The findings reveal that the three concepts are evolving and advancing, and new researches push the boundaries of exploration into new directions. From the analysis of recent literature, it can be concluded that thanatopsis is a rare characteristic of tourist visits. This is in contrast to the early conceptual studies, which claim that death is the primary motive for visiting dark sites. The findings reveal that many visitors are motivated by the desire and an interest in cultural heritage, learning, education, understanding about what happened at the dark site etc. It is important to emphasise that these motivations are affected by internal conflicts that the experience generates. Tourist experience is more in line with that of а mainstream heritage sites. In general, if tourists do not experience a site as dark, then they cannot be called dark tourists. Hence, the present research appeals to a clearer distinction of the ‘dark tourists’ based on experience. Except for the ‘mortality mediation model’, ‘dystopian dark tourism’ and ‘Terror Management Theory’, there are limit efforts to understand tourists at dark sites. Therefore, scientists must propose new approaches and additional empirical researches to prove that interest in death is a key motive for visiting dark sites. Lastly, from the literature review, new directions for further research have emerged. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The evolution of religious tourism: Concept, segmentation and development of new identities(Elsevier, 2020-12)The current paper aims to analyse the evolution of religious tourism and how the existing concepts, paradigms, and practices related to religious tourism have evolved and changed over time. The principal research methods used in this paper are: historical analysis, comparison, scoping, synthesising, and identifying research gaps. The paper reveals that the concept of religious tourism is gradually transforming and upgrading over the years, as well as it is going through a phase of segmentation, creation of new market niches, and developing new identities. The intensive growth of religious tourism in the global market, its complex structure, and its dynamic qualitative and quantitative changes require a postmodern and multidisciplinary approach and in-depth analysis of this type of tourism, whose previous development has been characterised by partial overlapping between elements of alternative and mass tourism. The current paper reinforces the theory of religious tourism. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Regional inequalities and contemporary problems in regional tourism development: a case of Macedonia(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01-09)As a subject of this research, we take the analysis of problems in tourism development in the country at the regional NUTS 3 level. Problems in development arise due to large disparities that exist between regions, especially in the reallocation of resources, realized tourist trade, the regional distribution of accommodation facilities and the number of employees in the tourism industry. Research conducted on the example of Macedonia shows visible differences in the current stage of the development of tourism between active areas of tourism and underdeveloped areas. Uneven development of tourism in the country entails the need for planning the development of tourism and the policy of development to reduce regional disparities. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impact of preoperative arterial and venous diameter on achievement of the adequate blood flow in arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis(Wiley, 2020-06); ; ; ; An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) remains the best choice of vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis (HD). The aim of the study was to determine the factors associated with the achievement of adequate blood flow (BF) of AVFs at the 4th week after creation. Created AVFs in 63 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4/5 and CKD stage 5 on hemodialysis (CKD5D) were analyzed in a prospective study. Doppler ultrasound (DUS) was used for measuring the diameter of the radial artery, the brachial artery and the cephalic vein before AVF creation. The BF of AVF was calculated by DUS at the 4th week after creation and adequate BF was defined as ≥ 600 mL/min. The average age of patients was 61.31 ± 12.9 years. An adequate BF of AVF at the 4th week after creation was achieved in 43.54% of patients. The BF of AVF measured in male patients was significantly higher compared to the BF of AVF obtained in females (576.03 mL/min vs 375.12 mL/min, P = 0.004). The diameter of the blood vessels with achieved adequate BF was significantly larger compared to the diameter of the blood vessels without adequate BF (radial artery: 2.45 mm vs 2.03 mm, P = 0.000; brachial artery: 4.78 mm vs 4.06 mm, P = 0.001 and cephalic vein: 3.12 mm vs 2.83 mm P = 0.018). The gender and the diameter of the blood vessels before AVF creation were significantly associated with achievement of adequate BF of AVF at the 4th week of creation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, What is in a name and what is in the brain? -clinicians’ dilemmas in the biomarker era(Elsevier BV, 2025-05); ; This viewpoint draws analogy from Shakespeare’s query, "What’s in a name?" and explores what defines neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s (PD) and Alzheimer’s (AD) and what clinicians understand by that name in relation to the underlying brain pathology and disease biology. The inspiration comes from the latest biological definitions of PD revealing significant similarities with the biological definition of AD. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
