In contrast, sociological variables played the more important role in the associations with female suicide rates.

Trans-polita lingva homogeno/heterogeno kaj laûkapa malneta nacia produkto: Empiria esploro Oni analizis pli ol 230 varieblojn, per akumula multobla regresa metodo, trans 130 politoj, por konstati ĉu lingva homegeno/heterogeno troviĝas ene de la plej trafa sub-kategorio de antaŭdiriloj por klarigi plej potence kaj ŝpare trans-politan varion rilate laŭkapan malnetan nacian produkton. Kvankam montriĝis eble atingi tre altan multoblan R (.90), kiu klarigis pli ol 80 procentojn de tia trans-polita vario surbaze de nur dek antaŭdiriloj, lingva homogeno/heterogeno ne estis inter tiu plej trafa subkategorio de antaŭdiriloj. Vario de laŭkapa malneta nacia produkto estas rekta flankprodukto de vario en modernigo de ŝtata administracio kaj industrio—variebloj, kiuj nur nedirekte kaj nesignife rilatas al lingva homogeno/heterogeno.

Climate Events

The Caribbean islands are among the 25 most-vulnerable nations in terms of disasters per-capita or land area, and climate change is only expected to intensify these vulnerabilities. The loss caused by climate events drags the ability of the Caribbean countries to invest in infrastructure and social programs, contributing to slower productivity growth, poorer health outcomes, and lower standards of living. Within this context, building resiliency should become a priority for the Caribbean countries. The series “Building a more resilient and low-carbon Caribbean”, focuses on improving the resiliency, sustainability and decarbonization of the construction industry in the Caribbean. The results show that increasing building resiliency is economically viable for the high-risk islands of the Caribbean, generating long term savings and increasing the infrastructure preparedness to the impacts of CC.

The article concentrates on the application of gravity-type model to explain the volume of agro-exports from the Czech Republic. The multiplicative exponential function of the appropriate explanatory variables is used to describe the bilateral trade flows. Gross national product, gross national product per capita and geographical distance between the capitals of economies proved statistically significant. From regression analysis of the transformed data, there is apparent the positive correlation between the export volume of the commodity group 0 – Food and live animals SITC, rev.3 and gross national income. On the contrary, the negative correlation is between the agro-export volume and gross national income per capita and geographical distance as well. The built model is significant at the 5% level and explains more than 75% of dependent variable variance.

Colombo Plan

The eleventh annual report of the Consultative Committee of the Colombo Plan was prepared at the Committee's meeting in Melbourne in November 1962. The report noted that, on the basis of available statistics, the rate of progress in the Colombo Plan area during 1961–1962 was uneven, with increases in gross national product of up to 8 percent. On a per capita basis, changes in gross national product ranged from increases of up to 6 percent to falls of 2 percent. One of the most encouraging developments of the year had been the growth of technical cooperation, not only between countries inside the Plan region and those outside it, but also between member countries within the region.

BRITAIN HAS BEEN ACTIVELY TRYING TO ALTER THE BUDGETary arrangements of the European Communities in order to reduce the size of its net contributions since the Labour government of Harold Wilson succeeded Edward Heath's Conservative government in February 1974. This effort has been based upon the perception that Britain's net contribution to the budget – the balance of gross contributions and receipts – was excessive compared with that of its partners. Britain has been the largest net contributor, yet has a per capita gross national product which places it with the less prosperous member states.

. . . viewed from [the] perspective of the consequences on maternal health, the Italian GNP per capita of over $20,000 translates into a lifetime risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth of 1 in 17,360, whereas the respective figures for Mali, West Africa, are $310 and 1 in 7. A 66-fold difference in GNP manifests as nearly 2500-fold difference in maternal death.
