    Abstract During the last half of the twentieth century, the concept of system was arguably the most important concept in the theoretical repertoire of the discipline of American political science. Although systems analysis was broadly employed in the behavioral sciences, David Easton's work was particularly influential in the study of politics. This is in part because he attempted to develop a distinct account of the political system that was not theoretically subservient either to general systems theory or to conceptions of the social system such as that advanced by Talcott Parsons. Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to Easton's theory, the origins and evolution of the system concept in his work have not been carefully reconstructed and analyzed.

    Abstract Purpose: There is growing interest in the concept of 'deaths of despair' (DoD)-defined as deaths from three causes: suicide, drug poisoning, and alcohol-related conditions-as a more comprehensive indicator of the impact of psychological distress on mortality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of commonality in trends and geographic patterning of deaths from these causes in England and Wales.
    Methods: WHO mortality data were used to calculate age-standardised, sex-specific temporal trends in DoD mortality and in mortality from suicide, drug poisonings, and alcohol-related conditions in England and Wales, 2001-2016. Three-year average crude rates were calculated for English local authorities for 2016-2018 and associations between rates were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation.
    Results: Between 2001 and 2016, the DoD mortality rate increased by 21·6% (males) and 16·9% (females). The increase was largely due to a rise in drug poisoning deaths, with limited tracking between trends in mortality by each cause. DoD mortality risk was highest in middle-aged people; there were rises in all age groups except 15-24 year old males and 65 + females. There were strong positive correlations (r = 0.66(males) and 0.60(females)) between local authority-area drug poisoning and alcohol-specific mortality rates in 2016-2018. Correlations of these outcomes with suicide were weaker (r = 0.29-0.54).
    Conclusions: DoD mortality is increasing in England and Wales but there is limited evidence of commonality in the epidemiology of cause-specific mortality from the component causes of DoD (suicide, drug poisoning and alcohol-related conditions), indicating the need for tailored prevention for each outcome.

    Abstract Rock slope failure (RSF) is now widely recognised as a significant contributor to the denudation of mountain ranges. Its spatial incidence can consequently be a valuable indicator of prevailing process domains, tectonic regimes and climatic variations, whether active or past. Here we provide the first systematic inventory of RSF in the Southern Carpathians, a mountain range marginally glaciated during the Pleistocene, cut by valleys up to 1.3 km deep, and displaying low-gradient summit erosion surfaces that suggest late Neogene uplift and incision of an extensive plateau. We discuss the spatial distribution of RSF in terms of process interactions and landscape evolution scenarios. Widespread metamorphic bedrock outcrops are confirmed as highly susceptible to RSF, particularly to large-scale slope deformation, but RSF also occurs on other lithologies as smaller rockslides and avalanches. Substantial spatial densities of RSF cluster around the residual, plateau-like range-top surface rims. We ascribe this to the ‘raised plateau’ features of the mountain range, where its fat, flat massifs engender greater slope stresses than would thin, serrated ones where arêtes and pyramidal peaks are gravitationally more stable. A large minority (42 %) of RSFs are spatially associated with glacial cirques and trough flanks. While these nominally qualify as paraglacial RSFs, glacial erosion may not be the main driver because the majority of RSFs occur along ridgetops and upper hillslopes in previously unglaciated fluvial contexts. Many of them thus qualify as parafluvial RSFs – i.e., occurring within a fluvial catchment but not directly generated by stream undercutting. We introduce the concept of fluvial–parafluvial and periglacial–parafluvial cycles as complementary to the recognised glacial–paraglacial cycle. All three process regimes may have prevailed concurrently or in succession, emphasising that cirque glaciation was probably not a principal agent in shrinking range-top erosion surfaces during the Quaternary. We point to post-orogenic (Neogene) tectonic uplift as the overarching driver of RSF in the Southern Carpathians, with pervasive fluvial incision keeping slopes close to failure thresholds. The role of RSF (extant and in earlier cycles) as a primary agent in perimeter scarp retreat and massif dissection here offers a ‘Transylvanian model’ of global interest whether as a comparator or a contrast for other ranges.
