PIP: The demographic development of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is analyzed. The author notes that the rapid growth of the city has disrupted the country's urbanization plans as a whole and that the mountains surrounding the city preclude the development of a satellite system of smaller urban centers. A plan to divert production, education, and administration functions to regional capitals to encourage their growth at Sofia's expense is described. (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)^ieng

PIP: The occurrence of spontaneous abortions in women, working in all branches of industry, were studied. 5 frequencies of abortion were determined in regard to the professional employment of the subject. The highest frequency was encountered in women working in the chemical industry, such as in pharmaceutical industries, light and heavy metallurgy, plastics, and the railway industry. The lowest frequency was found in those employed in offices. There is an obvious correlation between the level of stress and the rate of spontaneous abortions. The high rate of abortions revealed in the indicated industries lead to recommendations for more detailed studies of professional and other factors.^ieng
