Public information about major accident hazards: legal requirements and practical implementation

The article analyzes the legislative support for the implementation of the concession in the development of the national economy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of deepening the understanding of the essence of the concession. It is emphasized that the problem of investing in the restoration and development of most industries, housing and communal services, infrastructure, the communal sector of the economy, and mining is exacerbated for the national economy. It is due to the intensification of interaction between private business and the state on the basis of the contractual mechanism of the concession that it is possible to implement a system of measures to stimulate effective cooperation between the state and business. The basic normative-legal bases of regulation of concession activity are defined. The main content of the Law of Ukraine on Concessions is analyzed in order to identify the main positive changes in its practical use. The main directions of positive changes in the legislative regulation of concession activities are highlighted. Among the main positive aspects that affect the intensification of concession activities in the country are: changing the view of the concession, the separation of public-private partnership and concession, the formation of requirements for concessionaire status, determining the procedure and procedure for concession, requirements for state support of concession projects. It is emphasized that there are some omissions in the legislative support of the concession. The analysis of the legislative support of concession activities allows us to emphasize the significant potential of this form of PPP to attract private capital in the development of state and municipal property. In addition, the legal requirements for the practical use of the concession indicate sufficient potential for the development of concession activities in Ukraine and the availability of appropriate legal support to maximize the benefits of concession projects. Options for their settlement are proposed to prevent abuse by partners in the implementation of the concession agreement.

Eastern European Countries

Access or right to information (RTI) is a fundamental principle in a democratic society. Most countries, particularly in the EU, regulate such institution by law, making a distinction between access to file within administrative procedures and access to public information. The article provides a normative and comparative study of the RTI regulation in Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia as South Eastern European countries. The dilemmas arising in the practical implementation thereof are analyzed as well. In the respective area, the degree of awareness of the need for open and good administration governance is rather high, taking into account EU guidelines, yet regulation alone does not suffice and should be followed by effective implementation to overcome still undergoing processes of Europeanization and (post)transition and develop good administrative governance.

Greywater Reuse

This paper reviews four different aspects of greywater reuse, the adoption of which is now beginning to spread in Spain. The main aspect addressed is water quality, but legal requirements, costs and the effect on reducing water needs also require analysis. These aspects are of key importance to understand the current way in which greywater reuse systems are developing and, even more importantly, for setting the conditions for future success. In relation to each aspect, the data obtained in a pilot project in Spain is compared to other foreign references.

The Future

Investment projects especially in tourism are booming in French Polynesia and the future prosperity of the Territory relies largely on their success. However, foreign investments remain highly controlled by the territorial authorities. The measures adopted by the Territorial Assembly on 21 November 1996 despite, or as a consequence of, decision 96-373 of the French Constitutional Council, set out all the legal requirements for foreign investors in a way which leads to strong reservations as to their validity and their practical implementation.

And Storage

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

Beam Broadening

The bane of CCD imaging systems for transmission electron microscopy at intermediate and high voltages has been their relatively poor modulation transfer function (MTF), or line pair resolution. The problem originates primarily with the phosphor screen. On the one hand, screens should be thick so that as many incident electrons as possible are converted to photons, yielding a high detective quantum efficiency(DQE). The MTF diminishes as a function of scintillator thickness however, and to some extent as a function of fluorescence within the scintillator substrates. Fan has noted that the use of a thin layer of phosphor beneath a self supporting 2μ, thick Al substrate might provide the most appropriate compromise for high DQE and MTF in transmission electron microcscopes which operate at higher voltages. Monte Carlo simulations of high energy electron trajectories reveal that only little beam broadening occurs within this thickness of Al film. Consequently, the MTF is limited predominantly by broadening within the thin phosphor underlayer. There are difficulties however, in the practical implementation of this design, associated mostly with the mechanical stability of the Al support film.
