Lewis Weil v. State of Israel and others, 1987.

The Supreme Court of Israel held that a prisoner has no right to special leave for conjugal relations in order to fulfill the commandment to "be fruitful and multiply." While it stated that the right to matrimonial relations is a basic human right and suggested that such a leave policy would be desirable, it also concluded that existing rules and regulations on prisoner's visits were not unreasonable, and judicial intervention was not warranted.

[Population statistics in Cyprus: in the mist of statistics].

The authors examine issues concerning population statistics in Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the political division of the island, particularly how political considerations affect population data. "The article follows two objectives: First, to uncover the motives, strategies and techniques of statistical and argumentative manipulation. Second, the authors try to draw a realistic picture of recent demographic developments in Cyprus by using all available data as objectively as possible." Particular attention is given to population trends in the Turkish-controlled part of the island. The authors conclude that "the demographic question until today represents one of the major obstacles in the search for a political solution of the Cyprus problem." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Indirect mortality estimates for children under five in six Arab countries.

"Data from various censuses and surveys covering the last two decades for six Arab countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, the Syrian Arab Republic, and the United Arab Emirates) are analysed using the Brass-Trussell methodology and the Coale-Demeny West model life tables. Overlapping levels and trends with respect to various infant and childhood mortality measurements since the mid-1950s are determined. The measurements show that these countries are not homogeneous with respect to mortality, as they reflect disparities in both health programmes, standards of living and quality of life."

Post Second World War immigration from Balkan countries to Turkey.

This article aims at filling some of this gap....[The article offers] an analysis of the size and causes of migration from the Balkans to Turkey since the end of the Second World War. The statistics for tables used in this article, unless stated otherwise, have been obtained from the General Directorate of Village Works in Ankara, which is responsible for keeping the statistical records on immigrants arriving in Turkey."

The effect of selected causes of death on the expectation of life at birth.

"This paper is an attempt to construct cause-deleted life tables [for Iraq]. Certain causes of death were selected to be deleted depending on the outcomes of a sample of 20,947 death certificates which represent 1 out of each 7 registered death events.... The paper reveals that the expectation of life is considerably affected by the hypothetical absence of these causes which leads to the importance of carrying out profound health studies concerning these selected causes of death."
