Study of parental/meiotic origin of free trisomy 21 in nuclear families from Russia (70 cases), Ukraine (32 cases), and 22 from Germany revealed maternal nondisjunction in 77.3% (Germany), 93.8% (Ukraine), and 91.4% (Russia), paternal origin in 13.6%, 6.2%, and 8.6%, respectively. Maternal meiosis I errors were found in 84.4% (Ukraine), 77.1% (Russia), paternal origin in 3.1% (Ukraine), 2.9% (Russia). Maternal meiosis II errors occurred in 9.4% and 14.3% and paternal in 3.1% and 5.7% in Ukraine and Russia, respectively. No significant differences were found in maternal/paternal origin among Ukraine, Russia, Germany, and published data from other European regions.

The aim of the article is to analyse activities of the Assembly of European Regions (AER) as an international interest group of sub-national territorial units at the regional level in Europe. The article presents the genesis of the Assembly, the evolution of its membership, as well as the tools and the channels of lobbying used. The text positively verifies the hypothesis that expansion of the Assembly on administrative regions from Central and Eastern Europe caused that strong political regions from Western Europe lost theirs interests in participating in AER’s works which, in turn, weakened the AER’s influence in Europe.

Micronutrient Intake

AbstractObjectiveTo compare micronutrient intakes and status in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) with those in other European countries and with reference values.DesignReview of the micronutrient intake/status data from open access and grey literature sources from CEE.SettingMicronutrients studied were folate, iodine, Fe, vitamin B12 and Zn (for intake and status) and Ca, Cu, Se, vitamin C and vitamin D (for intake). Intake data were based on validated dietary assessment methods; mean intakes were compared with average nutrient requirements set by the Nordic countries or the US Institute of Medicine. Nutritional status was assessed using the status biomarkers and cut-off levels recommended primarily by the WHO.SubjectsFor all population groups in CEE, the mean intake and mean/median status levels were compared between countries and regions: CEE, Scandinavia, Western Europe and Mediterranean.ResultsMean micronutrient intakes of adults in the CEE region were in the same range as those from other European regions, with exception of Ca (lower in CEE). CEE children and adolescents had poorer iodine status, and intakes of Ca, folate and vitamin D were below the reference values.ConclusionsCEE countries are lacking comparable studies on micronutrient intake/status across all age ranges, especially in children. Available evidence showed no differences in micronutrient intake/status in CEE populations in comparison with other European regions, except for Ca intake in adults and iodine and Fe status in children. The identified knowledge gaps urge further research on micronutrient intake/status of CEE populations to make a basis for evidence-based nutrition policy.

AbstractThe range boundaries of the Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus) are estimated from published data and new observations. The species range is restricted to the Pannonian and Dobrogean lowlands of central and eastern Europe. Its conservation status is determined as "vulnerable". The main cause of decline is habitat destruction through the conversion of wetlands, (semi-)natural land and pasture into arable fields.

Study Methodology

This paper shows the principal features of merger control in selected transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), namely Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, by applying case study methodology. The presented findings are based on the analysis of Hungarian, Romanian and Slovenian competition law and merger rulings reached by the Competition Offices of these countries. A substantial part of the conclusions is drawn from a sample of 42 merger applications processed by the Office of Economic Competition of Hungary between 1994 and 2000. The results of empirical analysis demonstrate the considerable flexibility of merger control in the studied countries, its orientation towards the future of domestic markets and a close link with industrial policy. The paper also highlights the areas of interdependence of competition policy and transition and argues that merger control in the studied CEE countries may be regarded as currently adequate to the requirements imposed by transition.
