Introduction. In 1907, the City Council of Novi Sad authorized the building of a new city hospital. The complex of hospital buildings was planned as a modern pavilion-style hospital with a 300 bed capacity. Foundation. The Pavilion 1 was intended for Admitting Department, Management and Administrative Departments. The facade of this building was decorated with a monumental mosaic of two angels. The Pavilion 2 was built for Departments of Surgery and Gynecology, whereas the Pavilion 3 included departments for patients with internal diseases, patients with skin and venereal diseases and maternity ward, but occasionally some infectious and neurological patients were treated there as well. In 1912, two new buildings were built: the first was the Antitrachoma Department and the other for patients with tuberculosis. During the First World War, the City Hospital was turned into a military hospital for the wounded, and also for those suffering from abdominal and typhoid fever, as well as from Spanish fever. Period between the two world wars. Since 1921, the founder of the hospital and its name have changed, and it has become the General State Hospital. After young physicians, educated at famous European medical centers, were employed, the Novi Sad State Hospital experienced a great advancement, especially in the field of surgery. In 1922, a new building was built, where the Bacteriological Station and the Pasteur Institute were established. The problems that the City Hospital was facing transferred to the General State Hospital, and were mostly financial. Before the Second World War, the State Hospital had a 455 bed capacity. After the Hungarian armed forces occupied Novi Sad in May 1941, the hospital director and all the ward physicians were replaced by Hungarian military doctors who worked there until September 1944.

AbstractDuring its 125-year history, the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers (Old Town Hall) has had numerous custodians and functions. Designed as a prominent landmark directly across the Brisbane River from the Queensland Parliament building, its ornate architectural features make it a unique example of late colonial extravagance. With the absorption of the City of South Brisbane into the greater Brisbane City Council in 1925, the building lost its original purpose, but was subsequently deployed in various ways. After serving as a Council Works Depot, it became the headquarters of the US armed forces Military Police during World War II, and was then converted into post-war residential flats for government engineers and architects. Since the late 1950s, ‘The Chambers’ has been an educational and cultural centre, initially as the first campus of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, then as a centre for adult learning, and finally now in its completely refurbished form as part of the girls’ school Somerville House. This ‘building biography’ traces the various phases of this iconic landmark from the viewpoint of those who worked, lived or studied there, and also provides insights into its social context within the South Brisbane community.

At the end of the Second World War, the General State Hospital had seven departments, the same facilities, and the same bed capacity as in the pre-war period. In the newly formed state of Yugoslavia, intensive growth and modernization of the hospital began, despite the great financial difficulties. The hospital became the Main Provincial Hospital and new departments and services were established. Mainly during the 1960s and 1970s, ten new surgery departments were established, which later became independent clinics. The surgery departments occupied pavilions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Complex and contemporary abdominal and thoracic surgeries were performed. The Department of Internal Diseases became the Clinic of Internal Diseases and in 1964 it was moved to a newly equipped four-story building. The Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics was founded and it was moved into a modern, purpose-built facility with a 230 bed capacity for adult patients and 105 for newborns. Rapid progress has also been made in the development of the Clinic of Infectious Diseases, Clinic of Eye Diseases, Clinic of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, Neurology and Psychiatry Clinics, Clinic of Dermatovenereology Diseases, Medical Rehabilitation Clinic - as well as a modern laboratory, X-ray, blood transfusion, and polyclinic services. After the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and the Clinical Center of Vojvodina, this large tertiary medical institution is the source of pride for Novi Sad. Founded 110 years ago, the hospital is still dedicated to providing better healthcare for patients.

The port city Liepaja had gained recognition in Europe and the world by World War I. On the coast of the Baltic Sea a resort developed, to which around 1880 a wide promenade – Kurhaus Avenue provided a functional link between the finance and trade centre in Old Liepaja. On November 8, 1890 the building conditions for Liepaja, developed according to the sample of Riga building regulations, were partly confirmed: the construction territory was divided into districts of wooden and stone buildings. In 1888 after the reconstruction of the trade canal Liepaja became the third most significant port in the Russian Empire. The railway (engineer Gavriil Semikolenov; 1879) and metal bridges (engineers Huten and Ruktesel; 1881) across the trade canal provided the link between Old Liepaja and the industrial territory in New Liepaja, where industrial companies and building of houses developed in the neighbourhood of the railway hub, but in spring 1899 the construction of a ten-kilometre long street electric railway line and power station was commenced. Since September 25 the tram movement provided a regular traffic between Naval Port (Latvian: Karosta), the residential and industrial districts in New Liepaja and the city centre in Old Liepaja. In 1907 the construction of the ambitious “Emperor Alexander’s III Military Port” and maritime fortress was completed, but already in the following year the fortress was closed. In the new military port there were based not only the navy squadrons of the Baltic Sea, but also the Pacific Ocean before sending them off in the war against Japan. The development of Liepaja continued: promenades, surrounded by Dutch linden trees, joined squares and parks in one united plantation system. On September 20, 1910 Liepaja City Council made a decision to close the New Market and start modernization of the city centre. In 1911 Liepaja obtained its symbol – the Rose Square. In the independent Republic of Latvia the implementation of the agrarian reform was started and the task to provide inhabitants with flats was set. Around 1927 in the Technical Department of Liepaja City the development of the master-plan was started: the territory of the city was divided into the industrial, commercial, residential and resort zone, which was greened. It was planned to lengthen Lord’s (Latvian: Kungu) Street with a dam, partly filling up Lake Liepaja in order to build the water-main and provide traffic with the eastern bank. The passed “Law of City Lands” and “Regulations for City Construction and Development of Construction Plans and Development Procedure” in Latvia Republic in 1928 promoted a gradual development of cities. In 1932 Liepaja received the radio transmitter. On the northern outskirts a sugar factory was built (architect Kārlis Bikše; 1933). The construction of the city centre was supplemented with the Latvian Society House (architect Kārlis Blauss and Valdis Zebauers; 1934-1935) and Army Economical Shop (architect Aleksandrs Racenis), as well as the building of a pawnshop and saving bank (architect Valdis Zebauers; 1936-1937). The hotel “Pēterpils”, which became the property of the municipality in 1936, was renamed as the “City Hotel” and it was rebuilt in 1938. In New Liepaja the Friendly Appeal Elementary school was built (architect Karlis Bikše), but in the Naval Officers Meeting House was restored and it was adapted for the needs of the Red Cross Bone Tuberculosis Sanatorium (architect Aleksandrs Klinklāvs; 1930-1939). The Soviet military power was restored in Latvia and it was included in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. During the World War II buildings in the city centre around the Rose Square and Great (Latvian: Lielā) Street were razed. When the war finished, the “Building Complex Scheme for 1946-1950” was developed for Liepaja. In August 1950 the city was announced as closed: the trade port was adapted to military needs. Neglecting the historical planning of the city, in 1952 the restoration of the city centre building was started, applying standard projects. The restoration of Liepaja City centre building carried out during the post-war period has not been studied. Research goal: analyse restoration proposals for Liepaja City centre building, destroyed during World War II, and the conception appropriate to the socialism ideology and further development of construction.

Following the shift in therapy of tuberculosis in the mid-19th century, by the beginning of the 20th century numerous tuberculosis sanatoria were established in Western Europe. Being an institutional novelty in the medical practice, sanatoria spread within the first 20 years of the 20th century to Central and Eastern Europe, including the southern region of the Panonian plain, the present-day Province of Vojvodina in Serbia north of the rivers Sava and Danube. The health policy and regulations of the newly built state - the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians/Yugoslavia, provided a rather liberal framework for introducing the concept of sanatorium. Soon after the World War I there were 14 sanatoria in this region, and the period of their expansion was between 1920 and 1939 when at least 27 sanatoria were founded, more than half of the total number of 46 sanatoria in the whole state in that period. However, only two of these were for pulmonary diseases. One of them was privately owned the open public sanatorium the English-Yugoslav Hospital for Paediatric Osteo-Articular Tuberculosis in Sremska Kamenica, and the other was state-run (at Iriski venac, on the Fruska Gora mountain, as a unit of the Department for Lung Disease of the Main Regional Hospital). All the others were actually small private specialized hospitals in 6 towns (Novi Sad, Subotica, Sombor, Vrbas, Vrsac, Pancevo,) providing medical treatment of well-off, mostly gynaecological and surgical patients. The majority of sanatoria founded in the period 1920-1939 were in or close to the city of Novi Sad, the administrative headquarters of the province (the Danube Banovina at that time) with a growing population. A total of 10 sanatoria were open in the city of Novi Sad, with cumulative bed capacity varying from 60 to 130. None of these worked in newly built buildings, but in private houses adapted for medical purpose in accordance with legal requirements. The decline of sanatoria in Vojvodina began with the very outbreak of the World War II and they never regained their social role. Soon after the Hungarian fascist occupation the majority of owners/ founders were terrorized and forced to close their sanatoria, some of them to leave country and some were even killed or deported to concentration camps.

The article analyzes the activities of the Ekaterinoslav City Council during the events of the end of December 1917, when Soviet power was established in Ekaterinoslav. This happened as a result of the armed uprising of the Bolsheviks on December 27–29, 1917. The City Council of Ekaterinoslav, as a local government, did not remain indifferent to these events. It should be recognized that in the events of December 27–29, 1917, the Ekaterinoslav City Council did not play a decisive role. Such a role belonged to the main opposing forces - the Bolsheviks and supporters of the Central Rada. Representatives of both sides were part of the city duma and, of course, tried to use it to their advantage. Thus, city self-government could not remain aloof from the events for this reason. It is important to remember that all this happened in the conditions of the war declared by Soviet Russia to the Ukrainian People’s Republic. The armed uprising of the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinoslav was coordinated with the onset of the Soviet troops. An analysis of events shows that the City Duma Ekaterinoslav was practically incapable of somehow having a significant impact on the events. Their discussion at public meetings, sending delegations to end the bloodshed and reconciliation of the parties proved to be of little effect. Among the reasons for this should be called the composition of the Duma, which was predominantly composed according to the party principle and lack of armed forces. It was power that dictated its will in these events. Public thoughts, representatives of conservative and moderate socialist parties (Cadets, Mensheviks, Socialist Revolutionaries, etc.) tried to use the institutional capacity of city self-government to stop or minimize the civil war that broke out in Ekaterynoslav. It should be noted that the Ekaterinoslav City Council in the real conditions of the end of December 1917. I did everything possible within its competence.

According to the 2011 Census, Vojvodina has the population of 1,931,809 which is by 100,183 less than in 2002. Vojvodina has fewer inhabitants today than in 1971. This decrease in number of inhabitants, according to the latest census, occurred in all municipalities except in the City of Novi Sad, where the population annually increased by 4,703. The main objective of this paper was to analyze the movement of population between two censuses, focusing on the specifics of population movements in certain areas of Vojvodina. First of all, the area of the North Banat should be pointed out because there the population has been steadily declining since 1961. On the other hand, the South Backa area records a steady increase in population in the period from the World War Two to the present, mainly due to the mechanical movement or immigration to the center of this area - the City of Novi Sad. In addition to the population decline, the population of Vojvodina is characterized by higher average age. The last census showed that the population of all municipalities was, on average, older than 40, except in the municipality of Zabalj (39.7) and the City of Novi Sad (40.0). Analysis of the data has shown that the trend of the population decline in Vojvodina, caused by very high mortality rates and low birth rates, continues and that the age structure of population is becoming less favorable.

The article is based on an analysis of the Bryansk region State Archive’s documents and deals with the mobilization measures of the authorities, public organizations and residents of the Bryansk, Karachev, Sevsk and Trubchevsk uyezds of the Oryol Governorate, aimed at the organization of health care for sick and wounded combatants during the First World War. The significance of the city of Bryansk as an important railway junction and an evacuation point is highlighted. 18 hospitals were additionally organized by joint efforts in Bryansk at the very beginning of the war in addition to the already existing military hospital (a total of 1300 cots). At the same time, the key role of the All-Russian City Council for helping sick and wounded combatants in financing and maintaining a number of medical institutions is shown. The activities of the Bryansk Committee of the Red Cross, which coordinated the activities of all government and public organizations in the territory of the above-mentioned uyezds, are also characterized. The author mentions the Committee’s information concerning the hospitals that came up after the war outbreak. The activities of the Ladies’ Circle, which was engaged in both medical and charitable assistance, are especially noted. The article pays particular attention to the documents of the Bryansk military hospital as the main medical institution in the wartime conditions.

Beggar badges of Gdańsk In Gdańsk of the 16th century, due to the failure of medieval forms of aiding the poor based on Church institutions, the growing number of people seeking support in a port town which was quickly getting rich and under the influence of ideas spread by Martin Luther, the policy concerning beggars and people seeking aid changed. It was demonstrated by passing the first beggar ordinance in 1525, which introduced the supervision of the city council over the system of social welfare based on the existing hospitals in town. Special badges with the crest of Gdańsk had been known since the middle of the 16th century, which entitled their wearers to beg in the vicinity of the city as well as to receive aid from public funds. Those artefacts were cast from lead and apart from the crest also had a depiction of a beggar and a date specifying the annual validity of the symbol. They would most often be sawn to clothes or worn around the neck. There are four beggar categories known to us: 1) for the inhabitants of Gdańsk unfit for work and their children thus entitled to basic education; 2) badges for the poorest group of citizens having trouble making a living, which included their personal data and address; 3) badges for city visitors who needed aid and had not been admitted to hospitals, which entitled them to beg temporarily; 4) badges for the patients of the City Hospital (the Lazaret), which since the 17th century had become the main centre of medical care for the poorest. Artefacts registering those entitled to permanent or temporary hospital care are known dating even from the middle of the 18th century. With the popularisation of written documentation in the hospital, at the end of the 18th century artefacts of that kind became obsolete.
