Land privatisation is at the moment regarded as the main tool for land distribution in Belarus. Obviously, the process has to function smoothly and effortlessly from the user’s point of view. The paper addresses the land privatisation process in Belarus with aim to identify its drawbacks and pitfalls. It therefore assumes that land privatisation is overcomplicated as well as time-consuming and ...

Multiplicity correlations between the current and target regions of the Breit frame in deep-inelastic scattering processes are studied. It is shown that the correlations are sensitive to the first-order perturbative QCD effects and can be used to extract the behavior of the boson-gluon fusion rates as a function of the Bjorken variable. The behavior of the correlations is derived analytically a...

The uncertainties due to limited knowledge of the multi-hadron final state on the measurements of the top mass at future linear colliders are discussed. The study is performed for e+e− → tt̄ annihilation events at the centre-ofmass energy of √ s = 500 GeV using Monte Carlo models tuned to LEP experiments. The uncertainties are determined for the all hadronic top-decay mode as well as for the lep...

This analysis of the Belarusian health system reviews the developments in organization and governance, health financing, healthcare provision, health reforms and health system performance since 2008. Despite considerable change since independence, Belarus retains a commitment to the principle of universal access to health care, provided free at the point of use through predominantly state-owned...

My attempt to respond to these questions stems from my field observations and familiarity with scholarly studies and other material. Anthony David Smith’s classic volume on ethnic origins of nations and Miroslav Hroch’s perceptive book on national movements in Europe’s ‘small nations’ are of special importance. A quintessential piece on Belarusian identity is Yanka Kupala’s play ‘Tuteishiya’; w...

Descriptions of males, females and larvae of two new species of water mites from Belarus, Atractides albaruthenicus sp. nov. and A. svislocensis sp. nov., are presented.
