“…Namely a remarkable ratio of the people who previously declared themselves as Belarusians, in 1935 chose another (particularly Latvian or even Russian) ethnicity. 24 This tendency was typical especially in Latgale, thus while the relative weight of the Belarusian ethnic block in South-Latgale decreased, the relative weight of other Belarusian communities in Latvia increased. On the whole the spatial segregation of the Belarusians within Latvia -according to the official data -declined significantly.…”

“…The members of the Scottish Women's Hospitals had the alternative of joining the retreat or remaining behind. 24 Neither option was an easy one. Those who chose to retreat through the mountains faced dire blizzards and snowstorms, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians perished during it, among which was also a SWH nurse whose cart fell over the edge of a mountain road.…”

“…The recommendations sent for him are outstanding and illustrate the degree of respect he enjoyed among his fellow researchers. The letters are signed by well known names of Romanian interwar medicine 23 , making him one of the few Romanian candidates for the Nobel Prize recommended solely by his own fellow Romanian researchers 24 . In spite of so many recommendations sent for Babeş, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine went that year to Netherlands, to Willem Einthoven 25 for his discovery of the electrocardiogram.…”

It is a well-known fact that the Baltic area is traditionally one of the most diverse regions of Europe in terms of ethnic concerns; we can observe in many settlements that four or even five religions have their own churches, cemeteries and at least as many ethnic groups are having their schools etc. Regarding geography literature, no generally accepted method has been applied yet to measure the population's diversity and spatial segregation; in most cases only the number and ratio of ethnic groups were described. This research paper proposes a different approach: the adaptation of the so-called Simpson's Diversity Index, based on probability theory and originally used by ecologists to measure biodiversity, to human geography. The study seeks the answers to: where, when, why and how has the Ethnic Diversity and Ethnic Segregation Index changed in Latvia during the first and second independence periods? What kind of spatial patterns are possible to observe on the basis of the transformation? The enormous data is processed by modern GIS software products and projected on thematic maps.

This article is about the venture of the units of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals organization in the Balkans during World War I. It is important to note that these women, inspired by the ideals of equality and compassion, were not part of any governmental organization, as the British War Office refused to employ them, and thus acted entirely based on their ideals. The first unit to serve in the Balkans under Dr. Elsie Inglis was captured by the Central Powers on the invasion of Serbia, but would be later reorganized as the SWH London unit, and would travel to Romania and Russia together with its ambulance unit, in order to help the First Serbian Volunteer Division. After the unfortunate demise of Dr. Elsie Inglis on 26 November 1917 upon her arrival at Newcastle upon Tyne, the unit was renamed the “Dr. Elsie Inglis” unit, and travelled to Macedonia and Serbia in order to continue its relief work. Other units that served in Macedonia and Serbia since 1916 were the Girton and Newnham unit, the America Unit, their transport (ambulance) sub-units, and briefly Dr. Mary Blair’s unit. The SWH Committee in Edinburgh had the honourable initiative of crowning their efforts throughout the war by founding an “Elsie Inglis Memorial Hospital” in Belgrade during the spring of 1919, but this project would last only for a year.
