At its seventh session the Economic and Social Council took note of the report submitted by the ITU, and the Soviet representative (Arutiunian) raised a question concerning the fact that ITU had not admitted to membership the Baltic States and the Mongolian People's Republic. By a vote of 14 to 3 the Council rejected a Soviet proposal to ask the ITU to review the question.

The sixth meeting of the International Telegraph Consultative Committee was held in Brussels from May 10 to 27, 1948, the first meeting of the committee since 1936. C. Caenepenne, head of the Belgian delegation, was elected chairman of the conference, and E. C. Smith, head of the South African delegation, was elected vice-chairman. Committee reports presented to the conference included studies of the quality of transmission, standardization of telegraphic devices, relays, and general telegraphic and telephonic problems. Organizational matters for the interim period between meetings of the committee were discussed and a budget accepted. The seventh meeting of the Consultative Committee was scheduled for 1951 in the Netherlands.

La Croix-Rouge hessoise et la Société de Dames Alice ont conclu, en 1895, une convention, en vue d'exercer en temps de guerre une action commune.A cet effet, quand une guerre éclatera, les membres du Comité central de la Société Alice se réuniront à ceux du bureau de la Société hessoise de la Croix-Rouge, pour siéger ensemble, se constituant ainsi en Grand Comité. Les collectes d'argent et d'objets se feront au nom des deux sociétés, et leurs produits seront versés à une caisse commune; le Grand Comité décidera de leur emploi. Après la guerre, les fonds restants serviront à réparer les brèches faites au capital social de chaque société, proportionnellement à la diminution subie. Le 25% du solde, s'il y en a, sera réparti par parts égales entre les deux sociétés, pour reconstitution du personnel et du matériel. S'il y a un reliquat, il sera employé en faveur des invalides et de ceux qui auront conservé de la guerre quelque incapacité ou maladie. Le solde sera divisé également entre les deux sociétés. Le personnel féminin sera organisé par la Société Alice, sous la direction du Grand Comité.

Relevant data on health and health environmental determinants is an important tool for public health decision-making. In European countries, both national and international authorities pay increasing attention to environment-related diseases. National action plans are aimed at eliminating environment-related children health dysfunctions and preventing eco pathologies. Priority is given to studies developing measures to protect and improve the health and development of children and adolescents. ; "Interaction of Environment and Human Health: Experience of the European Union", with the reference number 2016-2592 / 001-001, 574826-EPP-1-2016-1-RU-EPPJMO-MODULE Содержание данного материала отражает мнение авторов, Европейская Комиссия не несет ответственности за использование содержащейся в нем информации

Regions rely not only on their own efforts and characteristics but also on their capacity to attract and assimilate knowledge produced elsewhere to innovate. In other words, interactions among individuals, firms and institutions produce the transmission of knowledge in the form of knowledge spillovers. In the case of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS), one of their main features is their capacity to adapt and disseminate tacit knowledge. Despite a variety of recent studies have contributed to improve one´s understanding of the tacit knowledge diffuser role of KIBS, there has been little investigation on the spatial effects related to the presence of KIBS. This article represents an attempt to combine in one model knowledge spillovers and availability of a group of KIBS, those called high-tech services (HTS). The objective is to shed some light on the role of both geographical and technological distance in the knowledge diffusion process and to show how HTS account for a significant part of the regional innovation process using an extended knowledge production function (KPF) framework applied to 240 European regions from 23 countries. Two major findings of this analysis are following. For one part, inter-regional knowledge flows are key elements for explaining regional innovation performance, although technological proximity is far less important than geographical proximity. For the other part, regions with a higher specialization in HTS, or proximate to regions with a higher presence of HTS, tend to innovate more, mainly because HTS can improve their capacity to transform knowledge into innovation.

Evaluation cultures and evaluation capacity building vary greatly across the European Union. Western European countries, such as Austria, Germany, Denmark and Sweden, have been termed as leading countries in the evaluation as they have built up well-established evaluation cultures and carry out systematic evaluations of programmes and institutions. In contrast, in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, efforts continue to establish evaluation practices and further develop the current evaluation culture. In Hungary, for example, an established research and innovation evaluation practice does not exist, not one specifically considering gender equality in research and innovation evaluations with the exception of research and innovation programmes financed by the EU Structural Funds. Based on the results of a Horizon 2020 project, we apply a context-sensitive evaluation concept in Hungary that enables program owners and evaluators to develop a tailor-made design and impact model for their planned or ongoing gender equality interventions. The development of this evaluation was based on a thorough analysis of the literature and 19 case studies, building on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The article shows that this evaluation approach is applicable also in countries with a certain catch-up demand of the existing overall evaluation culture. The special feature of the presented evaluation approach is, on the one hand, that the evaluation is context-sensitive. On the other hand, this approach makes it possible not only to depict effects on gender equality itself, but also to anticipate effects on research and innovation. Such effects can, for example, be a stronger orientation of research towards societal needs, which makes it particularly interesting for private companies.

The study discussed in this article specifically set out to ask whether recent American urban trends—de— concentration, growth of nonmetropolitan areas, stagnation or decline of larger urban areas, and regional shifts from frostbelt to sunbelt—had any parallels in Europe. The conclusion is that, overall, Europe does not offer many parallels except for an increasing tendency to core-ring decentralization. There is no movement to nonmetropolitan areas, except in France during the early 1970s, and indeed until that time some countries still tended to centralize their urban populations. The industrial heartland has continued to grow, and while the European sunbelt has also grown rapidly, the causes are different from those operating in the United States. Finally, in much of Europe—although not in Great Britain, the country where the trends are most like the American ones—larger urban areas have tended to show vigorous growth.
