These mandates have given the Secretary of Commerce and NIST important responsibilities for improving the utilization and management of computer and related telecommunications systems in the Federal Government. The NIST, through its Computer Systems Laboratory, provides leadership, technical guidance, and coordination of Government efforts in the development of stan¬ dards and guidelines in these areas. Comments concerning Federal Information Processing Standards Publications are welcomed and should be addressed to the Director, Computer Systems Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. James H. Burrows, Director Computer Systems Laboratory Abstract This Standard provides a list of the basic geopolitical entities in the world, together with the principal divisions that comprise each entity. Each basic geopolitical entity that was listed in FIPS PUB 10-3, Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty, as updated, is included; it is represented by the same two-character alphabetic, “country code.” Each principal administrative division is identified by a four-character code consist¬ ing of the two-character “country code" followed by a two-character “administrative division code." This Standard supersedes FIPS 10-3 in its entirety. Key words: country codes; country division codes; data codes; data elements; data standards; Federal Information Processing Standard; geographic codes; information processing; information resources management; principal administrative divisions.

Name of Standard. Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions (FIPS PUB 10-4). 2. Category of Standard. Data Standard, Representations and Codes. 3. Explanation. This Standard provides a list of the basic geopolitical entities in the world, together with the principal administrative divisions that comprise each entity. Each basic geopolitical entity that was listed in FIPS PUB 10-3, Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty, as updated, is included; it is represented by the same two-character, alphabetic “country code.” Each principal administrative division is identified by a four-character code consisting of the two-character “country code” followed by a two- character “administrative division code.” This Standard may be applied either in the two-character format, in which only a basic entity is identified, or in the four-character format that identifies both a basic entity and one of its principal divisions. This Standard incorporates already issued technical changes and supersedes FIPS PUB 10-3 in its entirety. This version, however, differs from FIPS 10-3 in that it does not include diacritics or scope notes. Conventional names and formerly approved names for administrative divisions have also been discontinued, and Table 2, Appendix A, and Appendix B have been eliminated. The purposes of data element standardization are to eliminate unnecessary duplications and incompat¬ ibilities in the collection, processing, and dissemination of data, and to maximize the usefulness of data resources. The use of data referenced to a standard set of representations or codes reduces collection costs by allowing previously collected data to be applied to new uses, and provides a potential for benefit derived from those additional applications. Standardization also reduces conversion costs for interchange of data between databases, and reduces costs of data element maintenance by the implementation of a centrally, maintained standard to replace separately maintained elements. 4. Approving Authority. The Secretary of Commerce. 5. Maintenance Agency. Office of the Geographer and Global Issues, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC 20520. Questions concerning the list of entities and codes should be addressed to the Maintenance Agency. The Maintenance Agency will provide information to the National Institute of Standards and Technology on changes as they occur. These may include changes in names (as approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names), or changes in definitions or codes. See Section 9 below for information on how to obtain copies of this standard. 1 FIPS PUB 55-3 Change notices to this FIPS PUB will be issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Users who wish to receive such notices should complete the Change Request Form provided in this publication and return it to the address indicated on the form. 6. Applicability. This data element and representation standard is made available for the interchange of information among Federal departments and independent agencies. It is intended for use in activities associated with the mission of the Department of State and national defense programs. It may also be used for Federal interchanges of information with the non-Federal sector including industry, State, local, and other Governments, and the public at large. This Standard is intended for applications involving the interchange of international data. Applications limited primarily to domestic data, i.e., concerning the United States and its outlying areas, should use FIPS PUB 5-2, Codes for the Identification of the States, the District of Columbia and the Outlying Areas of the United States, and Associated Areas. For applications involving interchange of international data that require the use of the country codes of the International Organization for Standardization, i.e., ISO 3166, FIPS PUB 104-1, American National Standard Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty for Information Interchange, is available. FIPS PUB 104-1 provides both two-and three-character alphabetic codes for each entity listed. Federal agencies that do not require FIPS PUB 104-1 for international data interchange, and that are not involved in national defense programs or with the mission of the U.S. Department of State, may adopt either FIPS PUB 10-4 or FIPS PUB 104-1. 7. Implementation Schedule. Changes provided by this revision can be implemented immediately. Use by Federal agencies is encouraged when such use contributes to operational benefits, efficiency, or economy. 8. Specifications.

    416 APPENDIX A Methods Used for Analysis of Distributions ; As mentioned earlier, the availability of data only at the concelho level was the major difficulty in the use of sophisticated techniques for a quantitative analysis of the regional variations of different Attributes. Data available for certain attributes for the sixty-nine sub-divisions was used for calculating the correlation coefficients for certain distributions as given in Table No.App-Ml Appendix -A. -H. However, this being possible for only a limited number of attributes, certain other techniques had to be used for this purpose. Two such techniques have been used in this work for the analysis of spatial variation using the data at the concelho level (and in some cases where the village level data were available the 3ame was plotted for smaller units consisting of groups of villages as per Appendix A.I. and Fig.App.A.1.)' Firstly, the Lorenz curve proved to be a simple yet useful technique for visualizing the regional variations and the extent of evenness or unevenness of the distribution over the area. The points showing the position of each concelho or region on the curve have been shown by Roman numbers, key for which is given at the end of this Appendix. This simple technique brings out clearly the variations in most cases 1. Villages were grouped into sixtynine utfits. These sub­ divisions were based on the available data for census units of i960 census (GGDD, 1966) and wherever necessary grouping of such jjnits with due regard to relief, concelho boundaries and the comparability of size.

  • Down and Out: Founding Elections and Disillusionment with Democracy in Egypt and Tunisia
    Down and Out: Founding Elections and Disillusionment with Democracy in Egypt and Tunisia Sharan Grewal and Steve L. Monroe Forthcoming, Comparative Politics Which electoral losers become the most disillusioned with democracy following the first free and fair elections? Exploiting surveys before and after founding elections in post-Arab Spring Egypt and Tunisia, we find that the most disillusioned losers were those residing in areas where the losing parties were strongest. We argue that expectations matter. Losers whose parties are strong locally tend to overestimate their popularity nationally and thus become more disillusioned after the first elections. Beyond these attitudinal results, we find that these areas witnessed a greater increase in support for candidates from former autocratic regimes in subsequent elections. These findings clarify subnational variation in electoral losers’ attitudes towards democracy. They suggest that decentralization may keep otherwise disillusioned losers invested in democracy. 1 “She was in a state of shock and confusion. [...] It was one thing for the [Muslim] Brotherhood to win close to 40 percent, but how could 28 percent of her countrymen vote for ultraconservative Salafi parties? [...] She mourned not only for what she feared Egypt might become, but for a country that she could no longer recognize, a country that was no longer really hers. It raised the question: was [democracy] worth it? For liberals like [her], it apparently wasn’t.”1 How citizens respond to electoral loss is critical to the success of democratic transitions.2 Supporters of losing parties in founding elections must opt to remain within the democratic system for a nascent democracy to take root.

In the south, the governorate is made up of a vast desert plain, intersected by the Shatt Al-Arab waterway which is formed by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers at Al-Qurnah and empties into the Persian Gulf. Around Al-Qurnah and Al-Medina a number of lakes can be found, while marshland stretches from the north of the governorate into the neighboring governorates of Thi-Qar and Missan. The governorate is Iraq’s only access to the sea. Similar to the surrounding region, the governorate of Basrah has a hot and arid climate. The temperatures in summer are among the highest recorded in the world. Due to the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, humidity and rainfall are however relatively high. The governorate receives an average amount of 152mm of rainfall a year between the months of October and May. Population and Administrative Division The governorate of Basrah is subdivided into seven districts: Abu Al-Khaseeb, Al-Midaina, Al-Qurna, Al- Zubair, Basrah, Fao, and Shatt Al-Arab. The city of Basrah, the governorate’s capital, is Iraq’s third largest urban center.

I am pleased to submit the Municipal Pension Reporting Program’s (formerly the Public Employee Retirement Commission) biennial report on the status of the commonwealth’s local government pension plans for your review and information. Similar to prior years, my department will be providing additional analysis of this data in early 2021. Pennsylvania’s pension plans for local government employees in total represent one of the largest retirement systems in the nation. Currently, there are more than 3,300 local government pension plans in Pennsylvania and the number continues to grow. Unfortunately, the struggle to properly fund the plans also continues to grow. Many municipalities face financial hardships as well as the reality of more retired members drawing from pension plans than active members contributing to the plans. This status report provides a snapshot of the condition of local government pension plans throughout the commonwealth. Reported data shows that 98 percent of the pension plans in Pennsylvania are considered small (fewer than 100 members).

  • Development Prospects of Tourist Passenger Shipping in the Polish Part of the Vistula Lagoon
    sustainability Article Development Prospects of Tourist Passenger Shipping in the Polish Part of the Vistula Lagoon Krystian Puzdrakiewicz * and Marcin Połom * Division of Regional Development, Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gda´nsk, 80-309 Gda´nsk,Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] (K.P.); [email protected] (M.P.) Abstract: The Vistula Lagoon is a cross-border area with high natural values and a developing market of tourist services. Passenger shipping is an important part of local tourism, but ship owners are insufficiently involved in planning processes and their views on creating shipping development are underrepresented. The article aims to compare the vision of the development of passenger shipping in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon between local governments creating the spatial policy and ship owners offering transport services. We have made an attempt to verify the development prospects. The collation of these visions was based primarily on the qualitative analysis of the content of planning and strategic documents (desk research method) and a survey conducted among all six ship owners. Thanks to the comparative analysis, it was possible to show similarities and differences and to indicate recommendations. The paper presents review of the available literature on the subject, thanks to which the research area was identified as unique in Europe. On the one hand, it is a valuable natural area, which is an important tourist destination, on the other hand, there are organizational and infrastructural limitations in meeting the needs of tourists. Then, field research was conducted, unpublished materials were collected, and surveys were conducted with the Citation: Puzdrakiewicz, K.; Połom, M.

Interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. To protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. As main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. Ecologically, functional parameters such as stability, infiltration and nutrient cycling serve as key factors determining the movement of sediments, nutrients and organic matter as well. The present research aims to evaluate and compare the ecological patches of grasses, shrubs and mixed grasses- shrub using indices of stability, infiltration and nutrient cycling. Therefore, sampling was carried out in Qahavand rangelands located in the south east of Hamadan province, Iran on three patches of grass (Cynodon dactylon), shrub (Camphorosma monspeliaca L. and Astragalus microcephalus) and mixed grasses- shrub (Camphorosma monspeliaca + Cynodon dactylon) to evaluate the aforementioned parameters. Samples were taken along three 50 m transects using LFA (Landscape Function Analysis) method.

    Erie County Municipality Population Changes, 2000 to 2017 August, 2018 Erie County Department of Health 606 West 2nd Street Erie, PA 16507 Telephone: 814-451-6700 Website: ECDH This report was prepared by Jeff Quirk, Epidemiologist ([email protected]). The primary sources of data and information for this report are the Erie County Department of Health and the United States Census Bureau. Background: From 2000 to 2010, Erie County’s population remained level at around 280,000 residents. However, since 2010 the county’s population fell by over 6,000 residents, with losses occurring for the past five consecutive years (Figure 1). This report details the population changes that have taken place among the county’s 38 municipalities for the period 2000-2017. Figure 1 284,000 281,502 282,000 281,288 280,843 280,566 280,647 280,000 279,351 278,111 278,000 276,321 Population 276,000 274,541 274,000 272,000 2000 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Erie County’s 38 municipalities include 2 cities, 14 boroughs, and 22 townships. These municipalities vary greatly in total population and size (land area). In 2017, municipality populations ranged from a low of 209 residents in Elgin Borough to a high of 97,369 in the City of Erie, while land areas ranged from a low of 0.3 square miles in Wattsburg Borough to a high of 50.0 in Waterford Township. From an overall numbers perspective, 12 municipalities increased in population since 2000 (Table 1, Figure 2). Harborcreek Township experienced the largest gain with an increase of 2,225 residents.
