The author investigates the nodal-functional structure of Dalmatian settlements and concludes that this space is characterised by a monocentrist-dispersive model of regional structure. The author arrives at this conclusion through an analysis of the number of settlements and the number of inhabitants living in the four large Dalmatian cities, in settlements of between 3 and 30 thousands inhabitants and in settlements with a populace of less than three thousand. In order to prove the working hypothesis of the paper, the author analyses the division of the populace into those living in one of the four large cities, in other municipal centers and those in other settlements.The author connects the size and significance of the settlements with their economic role within the space of Dalmatia and Croatia through an analysis of the structure and number of people employed. The affiliation of the individual regional centers with certain economic branches is determined on the basis of standardized aberrations from middle values.The author supplements his findings by introducing the concept of “pole of development” and through a specific method of evaluating the “sufficit of employment” determines the “basic activities” of the Dalmatian cities and the significance of these activities for Croatia.The article concludes with arguments for a new strategy of development for Dalmatia in which industry ought to comply with the needs of tourism and general living conditions.

Résumé.Cette recherche a pour objectif d'expliquer le changement et la continuité dans les stratégies de développement économique après la révolution islamique en Iran. Le modèle explicatif est le suivant : la configuration et l'interaction particulière de quatre facteurs expliquent le choix et le changement dans les stratégies de développement économique en Iran : l'État, la société civile, le système mondial et les idées. À partir de 1989, la Deuxième République annonce des changements importants dans l'État islamique et dans ses relations avec la société civile islamique, d'un côté, et avec le système international, de l'autre. Ces changements en ont entraîné d'autres dans les stratégies de développement et ont eu pour résultat l'application d'une nouvelle stratégie de développement. Cette nouvelle stratégie a deux volets importants : les programmes de stabilisation économique et les programmes d'ajustement structurel.Abstract.This research aims to explain change and continuity in the strategies of economic development after the Islamic revolution in Iran. The explanatory model is as follows: the particular configuration and interaction of four factors explain the choices and changes in the strategies of economic development in Iran: the state, civil society, the world system and ideas. Starting in 1989, the Second Republic announced important changes in the Islamic State and its relations with civil society on one side, and with the international system on the other. These changes involved other changes in the strategies of development and the application of a new strategy of development. This new strategy has two important facets: programs of economic stabilization and programs of structural adjustment.

This paper uses a simple system of classification for examining mindsets of middle level officers in government organizations. It proposes that a middle level officer may assume or take on a spectator mindset or an actor mindset. With a spectator mindset, the person may pick up a signal from the environment or get an idea for improvement but he/she does not act on that learning or insight. As a result, organizational learning does not occur and this is reflected by organizational inaction or inappropriate action. On the other hand, with actor orientation, the individual acts on his/her learning and this leads to the right organizational action. This paper proposes that spectator orientation is rooted in four major factors: organizational characteristics nature of relations with superior the way work is performed the nature of middle management role. When the organization is perceived as conflict-ridden, rule bound, having too many free-riders and not oriented to customer and stakeholder requirements, there is a tendency for spectator mindset to predominate. This mindset also results in hierarchical, impersonal, and non-appreciative relations with superior. The third factor that leads to spectator mindset is the way work is performed. When the emphasis is more on performing activities in a ritualistic mode rather than to have impact and when there is inadequate attention to linkage, integration, and people management issues, spectator mindset is more likely. Finally, the nature of roles at operating levels such as fragmentation and segmentation of functions and excessive preoccupation with fix-it type of activities can lead to spectator orientation. Any attempt to change the mindset has to therefore address these four important factors. This paper reviews some change experiments and experiences in governmental organizations in India to propose two broad approaches to bring about organizational and mindset changes: Transformational approach which aims to bring about new strategy, management processes, and approaches by creating a new equilibrium for the organization. Continuous improvement approach which focuses on small doses of incremental changes that affect only part of the organization by modifying ways and means of doing work. It builds on the efforts of organizational members. This paper discusses these two approaches in some detail and examines the factors that are critical for the success of each of these approaches. It looks at how these approaches can also complement and strengthen each other. There can be no two opinions on how important it is to change mindsets in government organizations. This paper is an attempt to review some recent change experiences to shed some light on this important issue.

The domestic processing methods, soaking, cooking (traditional, microwave, pressure), and baking and the industrial processing, autoclaving, baking, and extrusion are used to improve consumption of legumes. The growing awareness of both health and sustainability turns the focus on protein (bio)availability. This paper reports the effect of these processing methods on the legume protein digestibility. Overall, the protein digestibility increases after processing by the different methods. However, since both the type of legume and the applied methods differ it cannot be concluded which specific method is best for the individual legume type.

This paper is devoted to the issues of international criminal responsibility for the crime of genocide. The author explores the corpus delicti of it and draws attention to the problem of bringing the guilty persons to international responsibility. The author examines in detail individual acts constituting the corpus delicti: the murder of members of any national, ethnic, racial or religious group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of such group, deliberate creation of such living conditions which are meant for total or partial physical destruction of the group; imposing measures intended to prevent childbirth within the group; forcible transfer of children from one human group to another. Special attention is paid to the problem of describing the individual elements of an act. The author supports all theoretical conclusions by examples from the practice of the International Criminal Court.

The Provision of housing for the urban poor has been a problem of long standing in the Third World. In some countries efforts at housing supply go beyond events which began forty years ago after World War II when large numbers of people began moving to the cities of Latin Amercia, Africa, and Asia giving rise to uncontrolled urban settlements and causing crowded living conditions in the already built-up areas. In Southeast Asia some colonial governments recognized the housing problem at the beginning of the twentieth century and began programs to ameliorate housing shortages and to improve living conditions for the urban masses. The investigative housing commissions in Singapore beginning in 1907 and the faltering efforts of the Singapore Improvement Trust perhaps are the best known examples. They were the precursors of the Housing and Development Board established in i960 in whose structures live some 85 percent of the Singapore population today. Urban officials in colonial Indonesia, the former Dutch East Indies, also had concerns for the housing of the masses. The Dutch colonial government eventually passed legislation which in a mild way supported housing and- was concerned to some extent with housing construction. For their part, the large cities on Java were more active.

Abstract. In order to track progress towards the global climate targets, the parties that signed the Paris Climate Agreement will regularly report their anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions based on energy statistics and CO2 emission factors. Independent evaluation of this self-reporting system is a fast-growing research topic. Here, we study the value of satellite observations of the column CO2 concentrations to estimate CO2 anthropogenic emissions with 5 years of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) retrievals over and around China. With the detailed information of emission source locations and the local wind, we successfully observe CO2 plumes from 46 cities and industrial regions over China and quantify their CO2 emissions from the OCO-2 observations, which add up to a total of 1.3 Gt CO2 yr−1 that accounts for approximately 13 % of mainland China's annual emissions. The number of cities whose emissions are constrained by OCO-2 here is 3 to 10 times larger than in previous studies that only focused on large cities and power plants in different locations around the world. Our satellite-based emission estimates are broadly consistent with the independent values from China's detailed emission inventory MEIC but are more different from those of two widely used global gridded emission datasets (i.e., EDGAR and ODIAC), especially for the emission estimates for the individual cities. These results demonstrate some skill in the satellite-based emission quantification for isolated source clusters with the OCO-2, despite the sparse sampling of this instrument not designed for this purpose. This skill can be improved by future satellite missions that will have a denser spatial sampling of surface emitting areas, which will come soon in the early 2020s.

Abstract Background. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of the living characteristics of large regions on the possible presence, awareness, management and control of hypertension at the individual level in the Russian population.Methods. Regional characteristics were obtained from the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of data; it allowed defining 5 integral regional indices: Socio-Geographical, Demographic, Industrial, Mixed, Economic. Presence, awareness, management and control of hypertension were assessed according to the data of the cross-sectional stage of ESSE-RF study that was conducted in 2013-2014. The final sample included 19,791 patients from 12 regions of Russia. Generalized estimation equations were used to determine associations between regional indices and presence, awareness, management and control of hypertension at the individual level taking into consideration nested data structures (individuals in regions).Results. The Socio-Geographic Index demonstrated the positive impact on hypertension among male (OR = 1.18; 95% CI: 1.05-1.32), undereducated individuals (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02-1.27) and elderly people (OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.02-1.32). Awareness of hypertension is positively associated with Demographic (OR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.02-1.25) and Industrial Indices (OR = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.01-1.33). Worsening of social environment (Socio-Geographic Index) reduces adherence to management (OR = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.64-0.90) and control of hypertension (OR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.69-0.90). Impact of regional living conditions on the prevalence of hypertension is not high, compared to the individual predictors, but for the awareness, treatment and control of hypertension, this influence is important.Conclusions: The study performed allowed assessing the influence of living characteristics of the population in the large regions of Russia on the prevalence of hypertension and on the awareness, management and control of this disease. The data obtained provide new knowledge not only in terms of epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases in Russia but also in general, that is, in the context of studying the influence of living conditions on the health of population.
