A satellite empire : Romanian rule in Southwestern Ukraine, 1941-1944
A Satellite Empire is an in-depth investigation of the political and social history of the area in southwestern Ukraine under Romanian occupation during World War II. Transnistria was the only occupied Soviet territory administered by a power other than Nazi Germany, a reward for Romanian participation in Operation Barbarossa.
Vladimir Solonari's invaluable contribution to World War II history focuses on three main aspects of Romanian rule of Transnistria: with fascinating insights from recently opened archives, Solonari examines the conquest and delimitation of the region, the Romanian administration of the new territory, and how locals responded to the occupation. What did Romania want from the conquest? The first section of the book analyzes Romanian policy aims and its participation in the invasion of the USSR. Solonari then traces how Romanian administrators attempted, in contradictory and inconsistent ways, to make Transnistria \"Romanian\" and \"civilized\" while simultaneously using it as a dumping ground for 150,000 Jews and 20,000 Roma deported from a racially cleansed Romania. The author shows that the imperatives of total war eventually prioritized economic exploitation of the region over any other aims the Romanians may have had. In the final section, he uncovers local responses in terms of collaboration and resistance, in particular exploring relationships with the local Christian population, which initially welcomed the occupiers as liberators from Soviet oppression but eventually became hostile to them. Ever increasing hostility towards the occupying regime buoyed the numbers and efficacy of pro-Soviet resistance groups.

0148 Using the UK Biobank study to estimate occupational causes of chronic disease: comparability with the UK national population and adjustment for bias
Objectives The UK Biobank study is a sample of 502,682 people aged 40–70, clustered around 22 assessment centres. As part of a project to investigate the causes of COPD and estimate the UK occupational burden, we have assessed the sample’s representativeness with respect to the UK national population, with a view to accounting for potential biases. Method We have compared characteristics of the Biobank population (age, education, employment, smoking etc) to that of the UK population as estimated from national data sources. Results Deprivation index scores indicate that Biobank respondents in more affluent wards are over-represented (52% of Biobank respondents versus 28% nationally have scores of less than -2). The Biobank respondents are also better-educated (33% to degree level, 17% nationally), with similar qualification levels in men and women, whereas more men than women nationally in this age range had higher level qualifications. Fewer were currently employed than nationally (58% vs. 65%), particularly men over 60, with more retired (45% vs. 33%), and fewer disabled or unemployed. There are more in managerial and professional (54% vs. 46%), and fewer in routine and manual occupations (22%, 33% nationally), and fewer smokers (33% vs. 49%). Fewer in the already under-represented unskilled occupations (47% vs. 70% for other occupations), or with reported respiratory ill-health (50% vs. 59%) have a usable email address. Conclusions As Biobank respondents are on average less deprived, better educated and under-represented in unskilled occupations than the national population, estimating national occupational COPD burden, and collecting further data without bias will require data adjustments.

Nobody cares about your career : why failure is good, the great ones play hurt, and other hard truths
\"The ultimate playbook for crushing it at work, from the CEO of Barstool Sports. She works hand-in-hand with a founder who's a lightning rod for controversy-OK, for stepping in it. She's grown a chaotic company (Vanity Fair calls it a \"pirate ship\") housed over a dentist's office outside of Boston that published giveaway papers into a juggernaut with more than 5 billion monthly video views and 225 million followers valued at 550 million dollars. Erika Ayers Badan calls herself a \"token CEO\", the rare female employee in the highest rank of a bro-roar sports and new media culture. She's also a massive student of work: how to do it, how to be effective at it, how to get noticed, how to crush it, how to figure out what you love and do it as a job. She's figured it out, after big marketing jobs in large traditional corporations like Microsoft and AOL, for herself; she's figured it out for friends; she's figured it out for the thousands of people who listen to her Barstool podcast, \"Token CEO\" every week. And in this book, she's figuring it out for everybody else. With the verve and motivation of books like YOU ARE A BADASS and the smart, specific ideas of titles like ATOMIC HABITS, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CAREER is a real playbook. It's about how work really works and how you can get work to work for you. It's about thank you notes and thankless tasks, the energy in meetings and energy vampires, how to pick a boss and how to get a boss to pick you. It's about being all in (but not bringing your whole self to work-some of you is better left at home) and becoming valuable to your workplace. It's about participating-with your brain, your skills, your experience, and your willingness to pitch in and offer yourself up for something you may not even know how to do yet. It's about making your own luck at work. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CAREER is for first-time job seekers who think no company will ever want them, people stuck in second or third jobs who don't know how to move on to the next thing, people who have the job they thought was their brass ring but who discovered it's not all that. Her chapter titles include: Chapter 1: Do Whatever Makes You Happy and F*ck Anyone Who Says Otherwise Chapter 10: Know What Your Company is Paying You to Do Chapter 12: Don't Be an Asshole at Work Chapter 13: The Messy Stuff: Being Human, Getting Drunk, Sex, and Other Disaster Scenarios at Work Chapter 16: Feedback is a Gift. Feedforward is for wimps\"-- Provided by publisher.
