Abstract
This paper presents several research issues associated with the PNtalk language that is based on a certain kind of object‐oriented Petri nets (OOPNs) and intended mainly for modelling, prototyping, and verifying concurrent and distributed applications. The paper reviews the main concepts of PNtalk and OOPNs followed by a proposal of a system allowing prototypes based on PNtalk to be run in a distributed way. Furthermore, the first step made towards state spaces‐based formal analysis and verification over PNtalk OOPNs are also briefly mentioned in the paper.

Abstract
In line with the main idea of the book, this chapter deals mostly with the structural or socio-economic dimension of integration, with a special focus on labour market inclusion. The integration of immigrants in the Czech labour market is viewed from an institutional and organizational perspective. The main emphasis of the chapter is on immigration from outside the EU. The author first provides an outline of the general trends in labour migration since the beginning of the century and analyzes the impact of selected labour market–related migration and integration policies and practices. Based on an analysis of policy documents, official statistics and available sociological research, the text discusses some major challenges to the successful integration of immigrants in the Czech labour market, with a special focus on the main actors and institutions involved in the process. In her analysis of the integration process, the author discusses the regulatory (or rather restrictive) role of Czech employment offices, the symbolic (or rather ineffective) role of trade unions and, last but not least, the crucial role of Czech NGOs working with non-EU immigrants. The latter are seen as key facilitators of migrant integration and not only in terms of their operative function (e.g. working in the field and assisting immigrants) but also in advocating for immigrants' rights.

Abstract
This survey of psychology periodicals was begun whilst the library of the British Psychological Society was still in Nottingham, and was intended to reduce the difficulties of the research worker in psychology in London. Thirty‐nine London libraries most helpfully supplied information on their holdings in seventy‐nine selected periodicals. Librarians also suggested other periodicals for inclusion in the list, and, as a growing number of individuals became interested, the list of periodicals grew during the last two years to its present total of 179.
