Jews in Serbia always represented a micro-community. However, the interesting fact is that even in post-war period, the decline of Jewish population in Serbia continued. The Jewish communities mostly inhabited Belgrade and Vojvodina region (especially Bačka region). The study is based on statistical and historical data about the events concerning the extermination of the Jewish nation and herit...

In the context of European carbon neutrality targets, building benchmarks are a key issue for renovation existing buildings. Although there various benchmark methods energy efficiency characterization, their application to residential sector is still limited. This paper developed two simulation models post-world war II houses in Belgium based on data from post-occupancy measurements and field s...

A total of 27 elderly wartime rape survivors were compared to age- and gender-matched control subjects who were drawn from a larger sample of subjects over 70 years of ag...

Since the second world war, as large-scale technological innovations have become more and more expensive, complex and risky, western economies (recently followed by China’s guided economy) have sought to bridge the chasm between laboratoryscale technology trial and commercial rollout, through the use of publicly funded demonstration projects and market measures which seek to limit the risk by c...

Abstract This paper attempts to re-investigate the catching-up (stochastic convergence) hypothesis among the selected 16 OECD countries applying the time series approach of convergence hypothesis with annual data over one century. To reach this aim, we propose a model which specifies a trend function, incorporating both types of structural breaks – that is, sharp breaks and smooth shifts usin...

World War II began on September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland.

BACKGROUND Since World War II, people in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have been exposed to a westernized lifestyle. It is most likely that the post World War II cohorts (1950+) have been more exposed. We hypothesize that there would be an increase in mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) in men aged 35-44 in these countries. METHODS AND RESULTS Mortality from CHD in men aged 35-44 in ...

The author's reason for including them, namely, that they occupy a similar ecological niche, does not appear compelling. These personal criticisms do not, of course, in any way detract from the value of the book. Physiology of Fungi can be recommended to all ...
