The 2013 BiH Census Report has been disputed by the Republika Srpska (RS) Institute of Statistics due to disagreement over the methodology used for data processing. Instead, the RS Institute of Statistics has published a 2013 RS Census Report that is in use in this entity. Given that the differences between the two census reports referred to above are under 5%, and given that such small differences have little effects on the analysis, the conclusions and recommendations of the Population Situation Analysis are considered valid for the whole country. The views and analysis contained in this PSA report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the United Nations or any of its affiliated organisations.

This situation has made the search for a single Austro-Hungarian identity so difficult that many historians have declared it impossible. Yet the Dual Monarchy possessed one potentially unifying cultural aspect that has long been critically neglected: the extensive repertoire of marches and patriotic music performed by the military bands of the Imperial and Royal Austro- Hungarian Army. This Militärmusik actively blended idioms representing the various nationalist musics from around the empire in an attempt to reflect and even celebrate its multinational makeup.

TX201B is the classroom segment of the experience. Students do not have to register for TX202 in order to take this course. TX 201B and TX 202 taken together as a 3-credit experience can count toward the German major and minor and the Cultural World requirement of the IA major and minor. Course Topic: Situated on the Danube River plain near the Vienna Woods and the Carpathian foothills, Vienna is Austria’s capital and home to 1.6 million inhabitants. Originally a Celtic settlement and then a Roman military and commercial center, Vienna became the capital of the Habsburg Empire and a European center of power for centuries. Although Austria has been an independent republic since 1955, it still celebrates its imperial grandeur in historic buildings, the Sissi-cult surrounding Princess Elisabeth, the world famous Vienna boys’ choir, and the dancing white Lipizzaner horses. Vienna enjoys an unparalleled musical heritage: classical composers Schubert, Strauss, Schönberg, and Berg were native sons; while Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler chose to live and work here.

  • Poster, the Main Characteristics of the Demographic Development and The
    The population of the Balkans at the dawn of the 21st century Fifth International Conference of Balkans demography Ohrid, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, 21 - 24 October 2015 THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Sixth session Radoslav Ćorović Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina Abstract Purpose of the work is to present the main characteristics of demographic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its population territorial distribution. Since the first modern population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina (conducted in 1879), the population grows up till the 1991 census. By the census of 1991 and the then ruling methodology the number of inhabitants amounted to 4,377,033 which is on an area of 51,197 km2 showed population density of 85.5 people per square kilometer. Although after World War II demographic transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina was clearly visible, the conflict that took place between 1992 and 1995, strongly affected the main demographic indicators of the country (total population, birth rate, spatial distribution, age structure, etc.). Total population of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been reduced, hundreds of thousands of residents were displaced within the country, and the spatial distribution of the population has significantly changed. After a short "compensatory" period, the annual number of live births is decreasing with time, and this is with the simultaneous increase in the number of deaths led to a constant negative natural population growth rate since 2009. Although before 1991 have already been formed distinct zones of depopulation (and zones of concentration of the population), along with such contemporary unfavorable demographic developments, of depopulation zones are becoming larger and areas with increasing population is getting smaller.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina: Understanding Perceptions of Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence
    Bosnia and Herzegovina: Understanding Perceptions of Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence March 29, 2018 – April 12, 2018 Detailed Methodology • The survey was conducted on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research by Ipsos global market research and consulting firm. • Data was collected between March 29 and April 12, 2018 through in-home, in-person interviews using the CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) method. • A total of 1,513 interviews were completed with an overall margin of error of +/- 2.5% at the midrange of the 95 percent confidence level for the full sample. A nationally representative sample was based on a multistage stratification proportionate to population sample distribution, with a random selection of households and respondents within each Primary Sampling Unit (PSU). The first level was the region and the second level was the type of settlement. • Using data from the 2013 census as statistical documentation for sample design, the sample is made up of citizens of BiH, aged 18+. • Sampling frame: Polling stations territory (approximate size of census units) within strata defined by municipalities and type of settlements (urban and rural). • Households were selected by a random route technique. Starting from a given address, interviewers selected the third house down the same side of the street (or the next available household for interview) as the starting point of the route. From there, following house numbers in ascending order down the right side of the street, the interviewers selected every third house number for interview. At every crossroad, interviewers turned right and continued to follow this pattern. In the case of apartment buildings, interviewers are allowed to select two apartments in buildings of four stories or fewer and three apartments in buildings with five or more stories (unless the building is in a village, in which case only two apartments are allowed to be selected).
