This volume presents the letters (approximately 600) that Scipio Slataper wrote between late 1909 and December 1915 to his “three friends” from Trieste, Anna Pulitzer, Gigetta (Luisa) Carniel, and ...Elody Oblath. These letters bring to light complex existential and intellectual storylines: of friendship, love, and pain, of the search of the purpose of life, cultural commitment, and artistic creation.
Entre 1912 et 1919, Jovan Cvijić, professeur éminent de géographie à l’université de Belgrade et membre majeur du mouvement nationaliste pour la création d’un Etat panslave dans l’Europe du Sud-Est, ...joue un rôle très actif dans la construction et la définition du territoire de la future Yougoslavie. A l’aide d’archives inédites, nous considérons ici ses multiples activités avant, pendant et après la Première Guerre mondiale en termes de circulations dynamiques dans les milieux politiques et intellectuels internationaux. Ceci inclut des circulations personnelles (en tant que réfugié en Suisse, puis en France) mais également de textes et de cartes entre 1917 et 1919 et d’arguments géographiques et géopolitiques pendant la Conférence de la Paix de Paris, en tant qu’expert principal de la délégation serbe, avec ou contre d’autres géographes, en particulier Emmanuel de Martonne. En étudiant comme étude de cas le débat autour de Fiume (Rijeka) et de Trieste, nous essaierons donc de montrer que, du point de vue de Cvijić et sous son influence, Paris devient le lieu d’un long et majeur Congrès international de géographie appliquée, avec des conséquences politiques et spatiales d’intérêt national, européen et mondial.
The aim of the paper is to present the economy and the economic characteristics of the communities living in the area where the Karst meets the Adriatic Sea, using the Franciscan cadastre (early 19th ...century) as the point of departure and the primary source. The main purpose of the cadastre was to record the status of agriculture, but because the assessors wanted to gather as much information as possible, it also contains data about other economic aspects and activities. And although it was established in the early 19th century, it reflects the overall situation in the area prior to the beginning of industrialization. The selected communities in the Karst area are divided into nine cadastral municipalities belonging to two cadastral districts (Trieste and Duino) and are located in the coastal belt from Trieste to Duino respectively. For the analysis of their economies, we made use of the cadastral survey’s evaluation report, which presents the main features of each cadastral municipality, such as topography, municipal boundaries,
population, livestock, rivers and other water bodies, roads, markets, types of arable land, harvests, field crops and tillage, crop quality and its value, types of landed property,
houses and branches of industry. The evaluation report was the most suitable source for this research because it covers all economic characteristics that the assessors deemed important to record and, unlike other similar evaluation reports in the cadastre, it was preserved for all municipalities, thus enabling a methodological comparison of data between the municipalities. The analysis of these economies has shown that the agrarian activities of the inhabitants were rather well adapted to the difficult karst terrain and the harsh climate. The central complementary activity was fishing, including tuna hunting, in which the inhabitants of all municipalities immediately adjacent to the sea participated. Even in non-agrarian activities, the inhabitants strived to exploit the available resources and means, such as stone and fishing boats in the activity of “šavorantstvo” (gathering and transporting stone by sea) and stone deposits for quarrying.
Progesterone creams and natural or bioidentical compounded estrogen preparations are being promoted to consumers as safe alternatives to conventional menopausal hormone therapy and as ...health-promoting tonics. No reliable data support these claims.
Natural hormones, including estradiol, estriol, estrone, and progesterone, can be expected to have the same adverse event profile as conventional menopausal hormone regimens.
Salivary tests may be used to persuade asymptomatic consumers to use hormones (or symptomatic patients to use higher doses than those needed to mitigate symptoms), a practice that can be expected to result in adverse events.

This study investigates the voluntary allocation of monetary resources to future food consumption by customers of campus cafeterias. A rich dataset allows us to infer social proximity of cafeteria ...customers and to measure social spillovers in allocation decisions. We show that individuals tend to imitate directly observed behavior and that close social proximity further encourages imitation.
Boundary-making in Istria is an old undertaking. It has actually never ceasesed, not even today. Istrian peninsula has thus undergone substantial boundary shifts during the last couple of centuries ...(especially after the Venetian demise in 1797). But Istria carries its worldwide fame also due to one of probably the harshest disputes on the post-war European grounds – the Trieste territory dispute. In author's perspective, this dispute is one of the four main corner-stones of the current Slovenian-Croatian boundary dispute. The remaining three include the Kozler's boundary around Dragonja (Rokava) River, the ungraspable notions of Austrian censuses in Istria, and the narratives of partisan settlements on military jurisdiction. However, there are other very important aspects which significantly shaped the development of the dispute, but we will focus at assessing the importance of the aforementioned ones. In this sense, the analysis of the effects of the outcome of the Trieste dispute and its implications to the contemporary interstate dispute is set forth. By unveiling its material and consequently its psychological effects upon the contemporary bilateral relations, its analyses simultaneously reveals backgrounds of never answered question, why Kozler's proposed linguistic boundary around Dragonja (Rokava) River turned out to become a boundary of national character. Though nowadays disputed, there is absolutely no chance for both involved parties to substantially draw away from once decisively drawn line of a layman. Despite the fierce battle of words in Slovenian public media on whether should the interstate boundary be placed on Mirna (Quieto) or Dragonja Rivers, it will be argued here that the actual choice of the Valley of Dragonja as a boundary is by all means Slovenian. The arguments are based on extensive analyses of cartographic materials, relevant literature, documents, and statistical data.
