Abstract
Henry P. David, ed. With the assistance of Joanna Skilogianis. From to Contraception. A Resource to Public Policies and Reproductive Behavior in Central and Eastern Europe from 1917 to the Present Westport, Conn. and London: Greenwood Press, 1999. xxiv, 382pp. Tables. Figures. References. Index. $95.00, cloth. This informative and comprehensive monograph is a continuation of David's 1970 book, Family Planning and in the Socialist Countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and David's and McIntyre's 1981 volume, Reproductive Behavior: Central and Eastern European Experience, both of which are long out of print. book has benefitted enormously from the editor's detailed knowledge of, and extensive contacts in, the region during the last 35 years, and from his expertise as a population psychologist. Designed to explore the interaction between population policies and private reproductive behavior and couple decision making from 1917, the time of the revolution, through 1997 (p. xxiv), the book, as described in the Foreword by Anastasia Posadskaya-Vanderbeck, ably integrates woman-- centered political, historical, demographic, and psychosocial approaches. (p. xxi). To this end, a great deal of attention is paid to the woman question, population policies, health services, and various practices of individual fertility regulation. monograph is divided into two parts. Part One includes an overview introductory chapter by the editor, a chapter on the Abortion Culture in the region by the demographer Libor Stloukal, and a chapter by David and Skilogianis on The Woman Question. Part 11 contains nine individual country/successor states chapters written by demographers, health specialists, psychologists and journalists who, for the most part, are native of the countries they describe. Reflecting the new geo-political realities in the region, several of the country chapters have different titles than those in the earlier volumes, such as The German Democratic Republic, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, Russian Federation and USSR Successor States, and Former Yugoslavia and Successor States. editor's brief historical introduction to each chapter on a country/successor states is therefore quite helpful for a reader unfamiliar with the region. book is largely descriptive in focus, although data for the individual country/successor states are presented in a broad conceptual framework whose categories are outlined in the introductory overview. Each chapter in Part II provides information on the country/successor states' history, geography and demographics during the pre-World War Two period, the socialist era, and in the aftermath of the collapse of communism; evolving pronatalism; shifting abortion policies and politics; abortion and contraceptive practices; sexuality education and sexual practices, especially among young adults; gender and feminist issues, especially the role of women in the labour force and as mothers; and perspectives on the future. adherence to these categories in the chapters on the individual country/successor states makes it very easy for readers to draw their own comparative conclusions. Most of the demographic similarities and differences among the various countries during the socialist period are well known. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
