It passed already one year since the outbreak of the „Arab Spring" of 2011 but the situation is far from clear (especially in Syria) and a lot of old problems remained. Undoubtedly, it would be very instructive to present an attempt of comparison between this revolt in Northern Africa (and in such the Arab countries as Syria and Jemen) and the demolition of communist (or perhaps rather socialist) system in Central Europe in autumn of 1989. The theoretical base for such the comparison can be provided by the so-called „neofunctional elitist paradigm", elaborated by J. Higley (with his collaborators). The main notion of this theory is the question of elite settlement - between the main elite of the existing government and of the opposition. At the same time there is the main difference between the situation in Central Europe and Northern Africa. Whether in some states of Central Europe (especially in Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic) such the opposition existed - in Northern Africa does not. And so, the perspectives for political and social transformation toward the democracy in Northern Africa is not so good as it seems.

Air pollution is a high priority global health concern. The health damaging effects of ambient particulate matter (PM), a component of air pollution, are extensively documented, with 1.4% of deaths worldwide resulting from exposure to PM. A growing body of evidence suggests that mineral dust, found in PM, may contribute to some of these deleterious health impacts. Approximately half of atmospheric mineral dust originates from the Sahara Desert. This systematic but concise review summarizes the findings from recent literature exploring the adverse health effects of Saharan dust particles worldwide. The authors have shown that 1) PM contributes to all-cause and cause-specific mortality and morbidity; 2) the PM arising from Saharan dust contributes to excess all-cause and cause-specific mortality and morbidity; and 3) larger particle sizes may be more harmful than smaller particle sizes. However, there remain many questions regarding their effects on vulnerable patient populations, underlying mechanisms of action, and regional variations in both environmental and health effects. This review highlights the urgent need for continued and deeper analyses of this emerging public health issue. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(6):749–60

The main goal of the article is to perform an analysis of the economic relations between the European Union and South-Mediterranean countries, and – based on this analysis’ outcomes – formulate an opinion concerning the future developments of these relations. The deliberations conducted in the article are focused on identifying factors both legal (bilateral agreements) and empirical (state of relations measured by values of indicators), specific to relations between the EU and each analyzed SMED country. Within the framework of the article, two main hypotheses have been formulated: • relations between the EU and each analyzed SMED country are specific, • these relations to a significant degree result from the geographical location of each country and the history of its relations with European colonial metropolises. The main scientific methods used in the article are analysis of legal agreements and values of empirical indicators, as well as synthesis of results and formulation of conclusions. These methods were preceded by research of scientific literature and utilization of statistical techniques of data analysis.
