This is a peer-reviewed book series on European culture, history and politics, with a special focus on modern and contemporary phenomena. Each volume is dedicated to a specific theme, addressed from a wide range of regional, conceptual, and interdisciplinary perspectives. We welcome research that is transnational and that considers Europe as one node in a global network of confluences. The series aims to provide a forum for European studies in a broader sense, examining the cultural, historical , and ideological aspects of European phenomena and the story and idea of Europe. This includes studies focusing on the history and workings of the EU, or the relationship between the EU and individual member states. The Editorial board welcomes suggestions for edited volumes and monographs. Additionally, we would consider proposals for thematically focused conference proceedings. Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to the Publisher at Brill, Alessandra Giliberto . Brill is in full support of Open Access publishing and offers the option to publish your monograph, edited volume, or chapter in Open Access. Our Open Access services are fully compliant with funder requirements. We support Creative Commons licenses. For more information, please visit Brill Open or contact us at openacess@brill.com . Formerly known as the Yearbook of European Studies / Annuaire d'Études Européennes (ISSN 0920-4792)

The author, analyzing the article by V. Surkov Putins Lasting State, expresses either agreement with a part of his theses, substantiating it, doubting or denying and also briefly justifying them. Agreement with the theses: illusion of choice, realism of predestination, logic of the historical process, state of a new type, uniqueness and viability of Russia, model of the state, ideology of Putinism, people, the military and police functions are the most important and decisive. Doubts, denial: impossible, unnatural, counterhistorical disintegration of Russia, growing Russia, survival of the Russian nation, the absence of mention of the First President of the Russian Federation, which laid the foundation of the new Russia a significant export potential of the Russian political system, supreme ruler, understating the value of political institutions and the promotion of one person against this background, multilevel political institutions outlet clothing,trust in one person.

Health forms an integral part of human development and thus the overall socio-economic development of a nation. Access to quality health care is an issue of right and not a privilege and therefore it cannot be denied to the individuals. Over the past decades, the government of India has made concerted efforts to improve the health status and a significant amount of resources have been spent on it, but the country could achieve only a lower health status as compared with similar income countries.

As 3G, HSPDA and already now LTE wireless networks become ever more pervasive, especially for wireless high data rate and Internet traffic (>100 Mbps), increasing focus is given on ways to offload access by re-utilizing WiFi access points available in-doors (offices, homes), or installing such access points outdoors in/alongside high demand density public areas (hot spots, public areas, road traffic lanes, etc..). In view of the relative much higher WiFi access node power consumption and much smaller coverage compatible with interference reduction, the WiFi off-loading access may have a significant negative impact on energy consumption and emissions per user. The paper builds on earlier extensive work on the modeling of 3G or LTE wireless infrastructure energy consumption on an incremental basis per new user. It addresses the questions of the best mix between LTE cellular base stations and WiFi off-load access nodes from the energy/emissions perspective. Detailed sub-system model and design improvements are carried out on a continuous basis in collaboration with industry.
