West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in the territory of Saratov region and its role in the infectious pathology were investigated. For this purpose, in studies conducted in 2013-2015, suspensions of bloodsucking arthropods, organs of birds and small mammals were analyzed for the presence of WNV markers (antigens and/or RNA). The seroprevalence level in live-stock animals and population of the region was evaluated; clinical samples from patients with symptoms compatible with West Nile fever (WNF) were analyzed. As a result of the investigations, WNV markers were detected in field samples gathered in natural biotopes and in the city of Saratov. Immunity to WNV was detected in horses. A stable domain of persons with immunity to this agent was revealed among regional population. Patients with WNF have been annually registered in the region since 2012. The obtained results confirm active circulation of WNF in the Saratov region, as well as formation of stable natural and anthropourgic foci.

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the demographic types of all small cities in Poland in 2013 and to identify the standards of their spatial diversity. The following questions were posed: Which demographic types are dominant among the small cities of Poland? Is there a relation between a specific demographic type and the size of the city? Does the structure of small cities according to their demographic types relate to their distance from main roads and urban agglomerations? The study applied the Webb’s typology, the K. Doi leading element method, the departure from average indicator, and the nonparametric Chi squared test. The spatial regularities were identified based on the created maps. The results of the study show that small cities of Poland in 2013 were represented by all demographic types, but most of them were regressive. They were established in 80% of small cities. The main element determining the population trends of small cities was the negative migration balance, which was observed in 80% of the surveyed areas. It was also established that the population of small cities has a slight impact on population trends. The most important aspect of their development is the distance from agglomerations and main roads.

AbstractAnnual spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens), survey data were subjected to multiple and logistic regression analyses to examine the relationship between egg mass density in the fall and resultant defoliation the next season. Egg mass density was the most important variable associated with resultant defoliation, followed by current defoliation, regional population trends, host species, and sprays. Together, these accounted for 60% of the variation in resultant defoliation. Balsam fir [Abies balsamea (L.) Miller] suffered greater levels of defoliation than white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] at a given egg mass density. Resultant defoliation of balsam fir also showed a steeper response to egg mass density than resultant defoliation of white spruce. Levels of current defoliation increased susceptibility to defoliation in a similar manner between species, as did regional population trends. Sprays were more effective at reducing resultant defoliation on balsam fir than on white spruce but, overall, did not confer a high level of foliage protection. Predictions of resultant defoliation using the multiple regression models had confidence limits averaging 75%, which are too large to be useful for predictive purposes. The logistic regression equations could be used to predict the probability of a stand receiving light or severe defoliation.

The article is devoted to the situation concerning Islam and Muslims in St. Petersburgin the 2000s. The paper analyzes the number of Muslims have been living then in the city. The author attempted to reconstruct demographical dynamics concerning people/nationalities traditionally professing Islam for the intercensal period 2002–2010.The characteristic of Muslim religious organizations existing in St. Petersburgis also given and explained. Considerable attention was paid to the functioning of two centralized religious organizations existing in the region. The article contains description of the main objects of Muslim religious infrastructure in St. Petersburg

This paper analyzes passengers' traffic across the border crossings and demographic trends in Croatian-Hungarian border area. The aim of this work is to determine the intensity of transborder relations and processes in neighbouring areas in the period of "loosening" of the Croatian-Hungarian border and their reflection in space. This will be determined through the analysis of the population trends in the last intercensal period (1991-2001 in Croatia, 1990-2001 in Hungary). The assumption is that significant transborder cooperation has not been established yet and that a transborder region has not been formed despite the "loosening" of the border. This statement has been confirmed by comparing demographic trends in the settlements with border crossings, in the settlements along the border, but without border crossings, in the settlements that are within 10 km from the border, but do not have an exit to it and finally, in other settlements of the border area from the Croatian and Hungarian side of the border.
