Spanish pandemic, the largest demographic disaster of the XX century, directly killed 50 – 100 million of the world population, either by its virus or by the consequential pneumonia. Alongside with the physical symptoms of the illness, the infected people could experience concurrent or subsequent mental disorders, primarily depression. However, the major problem with these early attempts to associate influenza with mental disorders is the lack of reliable statistics and standardized clinical diagnostic criteria. Therefore research results can only be approximative. This study attempts to explore if a larger number of patients in the Pula regional hospital diagnosed with mental disorders during 1919 can be related with a large number of patients diagnosed with the Spanish influenza during 1918 and 1919. In different words, the aim of the research was to examine if the same persons, after experiencing and been treated for influenza, checked in the hospital again, with a mental disorder diagnosis. If this can be confirmed, relationship between these two groups of illnesses could be probable.

Ovaj rad bavi se istraživanjem prirodnog kretanja stanovništva i utjecaja modernizacijskih procesa na socijalno-demografske odrednice stanovništva župe Svetvinčenat od 1909. do 1918. godine. Glavni dio rada, podijeljen na tri glavna sadržajna dijela, predstavljaju podatci dobiveni analizom podataka matičnih knjiga krštenih, vjenčanih i umrlih. Uz desetogodišnju analizu podataka analiziraju se usporedni podaci mirnodopskog razdoblja, od 1909. do 1913. i petogodišnjeg razdoblja Prvoga svjetskog rata tijekom kojeg su, uz novačenje i rekviziciju uroda i stoke, župljani Svetvinčenta, u svibnju 1915., obuhvaćeni i naredbom o evakuaciji stanovništva. Uz to, Istru je, a time i župu Svetvinčenat, 1917. godine pogodila jedna od najtežih suša 20. stoljeća. U radu se, uz analiziranje utjecaja i dinamike promjena u prirodnom kretanju stanovništva pod utjecajem nepovoljnih, izvanrednih okolnosti, analiziraju i osobitosti na razini mikrolokacija (naselja) župe. Istraživanje se temelji na matičnim knjigama krštenih, vjenčanih i umrlih, knjizi Status animarum iz 1910. župe Svetvinčenat, te periodičnoj publikaciji carskog i kraljevskog Ministarstva rata Austro-Ugarske Monarhije Popis gubitaka (Verlustliste). This paper deals with the research of natural population growth and the impact of modernization processes on socio-demographic determinants of the population in the parish of Svetvinčenat from 1909 to 1918. The main part of the paper, divided into three main content parts, is the data obtained from the analysis of data from the registers of baptisms, marriages, and deaths. In addition to a ten-year data analysis, comparative data from the peacetime period, from 1909 to 1913 and the five-year period of the First World War are analyzed, during which, in addition to recruiting and requisitioning crops and livestock, the parishioners of Svetvinčenat were included in the evacuation order in May 1915. In addition, Istria, and thus the parish of Svetvinčenat, was hit in 1917 by one of the most severe droughts of the 20th century. In addition to analyzing the impact and dynamics of changes in the natural population growth under the influence of unfavorable, extraordinary circumstances, the paper also analyzes the peculiarities at the level of micro-locations (settlements) of the parish. The research is based on the registers of the baptized, married, and deceased, the Status animarum 1910 of the parish of Svetvinčenat, and the List of Losses (Verlustliste) – periodical publication of the Imperial and Royal Ministry of War of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

Početkom 20. st. grad Varaždin imao je 13 329 stanovnika i bio sjedište Varaždinske županije koja je brojila 296 838 stanovnika. Događaji koji su uslijedili nakon ubojstva nadvojvode Franje Ferdinanda promijenili su politički, gospodarski, društveni i kulturni život grada i njegovih stanovnika. Varaždinski župan tada je bio Stjepan Belošević, a načelnik je, nakon dugih borbi koaliraca i pravaša postao Pero Magdić. Do početka Prvog svjetskog rata poglavarstvo se bavilo standardnim poslovima, a situacija se temeljito promijenila nakon vijesti o sarajevskom atentatu. Aktivnost poglavarstva na početku rata bila je usmjerena prema mobilizaciji, dok se u sljedećim ratnim godinama pojavio problem izvršavanja financijskih obaveza. Početkom 20. stoljeća stanovnici Varaždinske županije u velikoj su mjeri živjeli od poljoprivrede. Gospodarstvo grada bilo je daleko od idealnog, a rat je donio nove probleme. Ratno vrijeme u Varaždinu označili su rast cijena i oskudica živežnih namirnica o čemu su građanstvo obavještavali brojni oglasi, plakati i proglasi. Gradsko je poglavarstvo tijekom rata pokušalo svim mogućim sredstvima ublažiti novonastalu situaciju i olakšati život ljudi, no nailazilo je na brojne nedaće, prije svega u financijskom pogledu. Kulturni i umjetnički život ljudi u gradu bio je ovisan o političkim i gospodarskim prilikama i razvijao se kao reakcija na suvremene prilike. Tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata veliki broj događanja u kulturnom i umjetničkom životu grada Varaždina bio je humanitarnog karaktera, a veliki dio prihoda od koncerata i predstava odlazio je onima koji su bili najviše pogođeni njime. Najvažniji događaj za kulturni život Varaždina bilo je osnivanje stalnog varaždinskog kazališta 1915. godine, u kojem su tijekom cijelog rata održavane brojne predstave i različita događanja, poglavito humanitarnog karaktera. Stanovništvo Varaždinske županije aktivno je sudjelovalo u ratnim događanjima, iako se rat nikada nije vodio na području Županije. Velik broj stanovništva bio je mobiliziran ili se dobrovoljno uključio u vojne redove, a svoju ulogu imali su i ljudi koji su brinuli o mnogobrojnim ranjenicima ili skupljali različite oblike pomoći. Varaždinski su vojnici na ratištima aktivno sudjelovali u nekoliko postrojba, a najviše se istaknula 16. varaždinska pješačka pukovnija, koja je sudjelovala u najvećim pobjedama, ali i porazima austro-ugarske vojske na balkanskom i istočnom bojištu. At the beginning of the 20th century, Varaždin had 13.329 inhabitants and was the centre of the Varaždin County which consisted of 296.838 people. The events that followed the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand changed the political, economic, social and cultural life of the city and its inhabitants. The then župan was Stjepan Belošević and Pero Magdić became chief after long struggles between supporters of the coalition and members of the Party of Rights. Until the beginning of the First World War, the authorities were dealing with usual stuff, however the situation changed sharply after the news of the Sarajevo assassination. The efforts were then directed towards mobilization, while in the following years the problem of financial obligations arose. The inhabitants of the Varaždin County worked largely in the agricultural field at the beginning of the 20th century. The city's economy was far from ideal and the war brought new problems. The state of war was marked by the rise in prices and the lack of food products which the citizens were aware of due to numerous advertisements, posters and proclamations. During the war, the authorities tried to alleviate the situation and ease the lives of people, but faced many difficulties, primarily in financial terms. The cultural and artistic life in the city was dependent on political and economic circumstances and developed as a reaction to them. During the First World War, a large number of events in the cultural and artistic life of Varaždin was of humanitarian character, and most income from concerts and play went to those who needed it. The most important event for the cultural life of Varaždin was the foundation of permanent Varaždin Theatre in 1915 where numerous plays and various events of humanitarian character were held throughout the war. Even though there were no hostilities in the Varaždin County, the population was actively involved in the war. Many people were either mobilized or voluntarily joined military units and there were those who cared for wounded soldiers or collected various forms of help. The Varaždin soldiers were present in several military units, the most notable of which was the 16th Varaždin Infantry Regiment which took part in the biggest victories and defeats of the Austro-Hungarian army on the Balkan and Eastern fronts.
