Abstract:

The study features the formation of the Provisional Government bodies in Dagestan during the revolutions and Civil War, such as the Provisional Regional Executive Committee and the Commissars of the Dagestan region. The research was based on the principles of historicism and objectivity, which allowed the authors to determine the reliability of the used historical sources. The consequences of the February revolution in Russia affected the Dagestan region. During this period, various organizations struggled for power: the Council of Workers' Deputies, the Council of Soldiers' and Officers' Deputies, religious societies, Muslim committees, millicommittees, etc. However, the military governor was rep-laced by the Provisional Government, which had existed until April-May 1918. The Provisional Regional Executive Committee was formed in March 1917. Subsequently, it transformed several times. New commissars replaced former chiefs in the districts of the Dagestan region. The population of the region, which initially distrusted the elections, gradually began to get involved in the political process. The bodies of the Provisional Government included the Commissars of the Dagestan region. They had a lot of internal conflicts, as well as an open political confrontation with the Provisional Regional Executive Committee. These disagreements prevented effective work. The results of the research can be used in further study of the issue, in general studies on the matter, in a course of Dagestan history, or special courses on the history of the revolution and the Civil War.

Abstract:

Introduction. The article deals with the problem of providing food to the Moscow province in 1917. An analysis of the activities of the Moscow Provincial Food Committee allows us to trace the features of the food business in Russia, to find ways out of the current situation with the supply of bread and essentials to the province. Food policy at all times is the basis of the national security of the country, as it includes economic, social, national factors that provide the basis for the stability of the state. The food crisis that began in 1916 became the catalyst for the revolutionary processes of 1917 in Russia. Turning to the activities of the tsarist government, the Provisional Government in the field of regulating the agrarian issue, providing food for the army and the civilian population, one can trace the policy mechanisms of the proposed reforms, their positive and negative sides.Materials and methods. There were no special studies devoted to the activities of the Moscow Provincial Food Committee directly, as a rule, the topics of food supplies for Moscow were touched upon, but the issue of supplying the population of the province was not investigated. For the analysis of materials, we used system-structural and system methods.Results. Based on archival materials, the article focuses on the rule-making activities of the committee in the field of regulating the work of local committees, instructors, and agents. Practical work is shown on organizing the provision of food to the population of the province, setting fixed prices, accounting for the harvest of 1917, etc.Conclusion. As a result, the Moscow Provincial Food Committee performed all the functions assigned to it by the provisional regulation, implemented the law on the grain monopoly, but the inconsistency of the decisions made by the Provisional Government, the inefficiency of the system of the procurement apparatus, did not allow the planned measures to be taken in solving the food issue.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this article is to review the activities of the Vladimir Provincial Provisional Executive Committee dedicated to the preparation of the province population for the elections to the Russian Constituent Assembly. The Provisional Government, formed after the February Revolution of 1917, claimed only temporary powers, intending to transfer all the authority to the new government elected at the Constituent Assembly. To do this, in turn, it was necessary to elect delegates from all provinces and military districts, as well as to explain the importance of the Constituent Assembly election to the population. As a local self-government body in the province, the Vladimir Provincial Provisional Executive Committee assumed obligations to assist the Provisional Government in the performance of its tasks.

Abstract:

A.B. Nikolaev’s book has not received much attention either in the West or in Russia, but it is an important book that has significantly changed our understanding the February Revolution of 1917. Nikolaev’s meticulously researched monograph, based on a wide array of new sources, challenges the previously dominant interpretation that the Provisional Committee of the State Duma (Duma Committee) was forced to seize power only to stem the tide of the insurgency from below. He argues that the Duma Committee was from its inception clear about its intention to overthrow the old regime and to create a new power to replace it even before the Petrograd Soviet was formed. The Duma Committee played a crucial role in prompting military units to take the side of the revolution, in steering the insurgents to the State Duma, in creating the Military Commission to organize insurgents to occupy strategic positions in the city, in taking over the food supply commission to feed the insurgents, in attacking and destroying the tsarist police, while preventing and suppressing potentially dangerous anarchical pogroms, and in taking control over the imperial bureaucracy. Nikolaev also raises an interesting question about the relationship between the Duma Committee, the State Duma and the Provisional Government by arguing that the Provisional Government made a hasty and cardinal mistake in cutting its relationship with the State Duma. This book is a landmark in the interpretation of the February Revolution, and especially of the role of the Duma liberals in the revolution.

Abstract:

To the Editor.— The joint report of the committee on Adolescence, the Committee on Bioethics, and the Provisional Committee on Substance Abuse (Pediatrics 1989;84:396-398) appears to miss the mark by a wide margin. Drugs and kids are a bad combination. Those of us concerned about children and youth need to work to help them grow up drug free. Screening for drug use is no more a violation of privacy than is screening for diabetes or tuberculosis.

Abstract:

Extant studies have predominantly focused on women's numerical presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)'s legislatures, yet, research examining the role played by female politicians continues to be limited. To bridge this gap, we study one of the most important, albeit overlooked, bodies within these assemblies: legislative committees. Using an original dataset on committee memberships (n=4580), our data show that females are significantly marginalized from influential committees and tend to be sidelined to social issues and women's committees. To explain this, we develop a theory of provisional gender stereotyping. We argue that the duration of quota implementation shapes women's access to influential committees. We focus on two mechanisms to support our argument: a redistribution of power dynamics within legislative bodies and women's political expertise.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the nature and purpose of the positions in commission and the existence of constitutional limits applicable in the creation of these positions. The Federal Constitution of 1988 (article 37, II) establishes, as a rule, the obligation of prior approval in a public competition for investiture in public positions. However, at the same time, it excludes from this rule the appointment to positions in commission, which are those declared in a law of free appointment and dismissal, destined exclusively for the assignments of direction, leadership and advisory, and the law should reserve a percentage of these positions and career servers (Article 37, subsections II and V). This is an exception to the public procurement procedure and, as such, must comply with the exceptional circumstances laid down by the Constitution. However, many abuses are committed by setting up commission positions to serve personal and party interests, to the detriment of the public interest. In order to do so, positions in commission are created with labels of direction, leadership and advice, but with merely technical or bureaucratic attributions that do not depend on the bond of trust with the superior authority and also in excessive amounts and above the real needs of the Public Administration . Such facts have led the control bodies to act in an increasingly forceful way in the fight against these patrimonialist practices. The doctrine and jurisprudence have advanced in this matter, but there is still no clarity regarding the limits effectively imposed by the Federal Constitution for the creation of these positions, which is why we seek to understand these limits in order to contribute to the desired legal certainty in the matter and to the achievement of an increasingly efficient and democratic Public Administration
O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a natureza e finalidade dos cargos em comissão e a existência de limites constitucionais aplicáveis na criação desses cargos. A Constituição Federal de 1988 (artigo 37, II) estabelece, como regra, a obrigatoriedade da prévia aprovação em concurso público para investidura em cargos públicos. Porém, ao mesmo tempo, excetua dessa regra a nomeação para cargos em comissão, que são aqueles declarados em lei de livre nomeação e exoneração, destinados exclusivamente às atribuições de direção, chefia e assessoramento, devendo a lei reservar um percentual desses cargos a servidores de carreira (artigo 37, incisos II e V). Trata-se de uma exceção à regra do concurso público e, como tal, deve ater-se às situações excepcionais estabelecidas pela Constituição. Entretanto, muitos abusos são cometidos com a criação de cargos em comissão para atender interesses pessoais e partidários, em detrimento do interesse público. Para tanto, criam-se cargos em comissão com rótulos de direção, chefia e assessoramento, mas com atribuições meramente técnicas ou burocráticas que prescindem do vínculo de confiança com a autoridade superior e, ainda, em quantidades excessivas e superiores às reais necessidades da Administração Pública. Tais fatos tem levado os órgãos de controle a atuar de forma cada vez mais contundente no combate a essas práticas patrimonialistas. A doutrina e a jurisprudência têm avançado nessa matéria, mas ainda não há clareza a respeito dos limites efetivamente impostos pela Constituição Federal para criação desses cargos, razão pela qual busca-se, no presente trabalho, compreender esses limites com vistas a contribuir para a almejada segurança jurídica na matéria e para a consecução de uma Administração Pública cada vez mais eficiente e democrática

Abstract:

M.A. (Public Management and Governance)
This research is an assessment of the level of goal achievement by the Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s (GPL) Infrastructure Development Portfolio Committee (IDCP). The overall aim is to determine the effectiveness of the Portfolio Committee, the reasons behind the discovered level of performance, and how to improve the status quo. Research findings reveal that the IDPC managed to achieve 61% of its targets over a four-year period (2009-2014). This is a fairly respectable achievement considering that the Portfolio Committee was only established in the current legislative term. Research findings also reveal a number of factors to support this achievement, such as capacity issues for both Members of the Provincial Legislature (MPLs) and staff and the institution’s congested programme. Quite a number of these factors need to be addressed at institutional level, including capacitation of MPLs and administrative support staff, the GPL’s congested programme, and the identification of relevant stakeholders. However, there are issues that can be addressed at committee level and include engaging in law making discussions, providing feedback to stakeholders on a regular basis and systematically, and gathering more independent information for verification purposes.

This thesis is about the EU regulation of the cross-border provision of investment services. The objective of the thesis is to identify the regulatory strategies underlying the current and future regulation in the field of investment services. The thesis departs from the assumption that the field of investment services is undergoing a change of regulatory strategy. The regulation in the field has for long been based on a regulatory strategy of mutual recognition and competition among rules. Concurrently, a regulatory strategy based on the adoption of detailed regulation and the creation of a common policy by and within a network of committees has emerged. This regulatory strategy is referred to as ’regulation through committee' in the thesis. The strategy of ’regulation through committee’ has gained more and more weight in the field of investment services. Recent developments show that the importance of ’regulation through committee’ will continue to increase in the future. To describe in detail and test the assumption of a change from the regulatory strategy of mutual recognition and competition among rules to the strategy of ’regulation through committee’ in the field of investment services, the thesis will seek to answer the following three questions: 1. What is the underlying regulatory strategy of the current EU regulation on the provision of investment services? 2. What is the underlying regulatory strategy of the future EU regulation on the provision of investment services? 3. In the future regulation of the provision of investment services, will the choice of regulatory strategy differ depending on whether a given piece of regulation has the objective of protecting retail or professional investors?

Abstract:

Presently all over the world, there is a great concern among teachers, parents, organisations, community leaders and higher education lecturers about the problems that beset teaching and learning particularly in the teaching programmes, for example, for under-qualified teachers studying at a distance. Most distance education (DE) programmes are concerned with education of adults and it seems fairly obvious that the research plans should be informed by the theories and research about learning in higher education institutions. In terms of teacher education, such studies could, inter alia, focus on teacher development, curriculum planning, learner support programmes, communication and evaluation of DE. DE itself refers to a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to learners who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom. Distance learning is becoming an increasingly popular way of studying, and most universities now provide courses using this mode of teaching and learning. Today’s learners, though, are demanding high quality, consumer-focused and flexible courses and learning resources, and active learner support. This means that providers of DE need to reconsider key issues about learner support systems, to ensure that this is delivered appropriately and effectively. This study focuses on learner support in DE education for under-qualified teachers. The concept, learner support, can be traced far back to Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development, which refers to a learners’ optimal developmental potential if assistance that is timely and appropriate is provided by another person (Vygotsky, 1978). The appeal of the concept of the zone of proximal development lies in the fact that it directs attention to the need for maximum support in the learning process, and does so in a way that emphasises that good teaching is necessarily responsive to the state of understanding achieved by particular learners. Learner support systems may include the resources that the learner can access in order to engage in the learning process, for example, libraries or the resources that relate to the mediation of the communication process such as the media or technology. This study acknowledges that there are different kinds of learner support structures, but argues that there are critical or main components of support services which are registration support, learner support services, contact sessions, technological support and feedback strategies. Therefore, this study focuses on the role played by these five learner support structures as used in the programmes of DE under-qualified teachers at The University of South Africa (UNISA). Supported by empirical data, this study seeks to argue that instructional designers and tutors in the programmes of under-qualified teachers studying through DE need to ensure quality learning support as learning environments are increasingly designed according to the principles of resource-based and independent learning. In a sustainable learning environment, support must be designed according to principles that ensure that learners progress from teacher-directed activity to self-regulated activity. The challenge to deliver a high-quality learner support system, and for tutors and administrators to assume a central educational role in developing effective distance learning environments, the need for teaching and research is increasingly emphasised in research literature. Finally, it is hoped that this piece of work will help to promote more discussion and debate about the use of learner support programmes in DE institutions in particular, and in teaching and learning in general.

Abstract:

Land is a finite resource for sustainable livelihoods of the general population and the foundation of South Africa’s diverse culture. However, throughout our South African history, the land question has been a contentious, sensitive and emotive issue ever since the inception of the colonial era, thus the democratic dispensation views the Land Reform Programme as a panacea to the historical inequalities with regard to land ownership, distribution and forced removals, as well as viewing it as a tool to achieve socio-economic and political stability. Since globally, land reform arose mainly because of inequalities of resources or to control resources,the overall view in South Africa is that land ownership can be optimally utilised for redistribution, reform, effective administration and for developmental purposes; and, as a result, change in land ownership, use and control has become imperative. This study seeks to evaluate the democratic government’s intervention and the efficacy of the urban tenure reform programme in dealing with unequal and racial ownership of urban land in the old(pre 1994) former Black urban settlements such SOWETO, by investigating legislation and policy related to land ownership, and the current tenure and ownership system and status in both Zola and Orlando.Document analysis is a form of qualitative research used by the researcher to provide voice and meaning around an assessed researched topic, and findings further reveal the challenges faced in the implementation or execution phaseof the urban tenure remedial programme, and the current status and the remedial programme benefits, while recommendations are made in terms of systems and processes in order to accelerate service delivery, and with the emphasis of the importance of capacity building for stakeholders, including the benefiting community. misperception that the Land Reform Programme only relates to the “rural” areas and “the transfer of agricultural land from dissertation investigates the evolution of land tenure or ownership rights in the former black urban human settlements, looking at the discriminatory laws and policies of the past, consequent political resistance and other milestones as well as the democratic government’s interventions in this regard whites to ...

Abstract:

Money laundering involves activities which are aimed at concealing benefits that were acquired through criminal means for the purpose of making them appear legitimately acquired. Money laundering promotes criminal activities in South Africa because it allows criminals to keep the benefits that they acquired through their criminal activities. It takes place through a variety of schemes which include the use of banks. In this sense money laundering control is based on the premise that banks must be protected from providing criminals with the means to launder the benefits of their criminal activities. The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (‘FICA’) in aggregate with the Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (‘POCA’) form the backbone of South Africa’s anti-money laundering regime. Like its international counterparts FICA imposes onerous duties on banks seeing that they are most often used by criminals as conduits to launder the benefits of crime. In turn, POCA criminalises activities in relation to the benefits of crime and delineates civil proceedings aimed at forfeiting the benefits of crime to the state. This study identifies the idiosyncrasies of the South African anti-money laundering regime and forwards recommendations aimed at improving its structure. To this end nine issues in relation to money laundering control and banks are investigated. The investigation fundamentally reveals that money laundering control holds unforeseen consequences for banks. In particular, a bank that receives the benefits of crimes such as fraud or theft faces prosecution if it fails to heed FICA’s money laundering control duties, for example, the filing of a suspicious transaction report. However, if the bank files a suspicious transaction report, it may be sued in civil court by the customer for breach of contract. In addition, if the bank parted with the benefits of fraud or theft whilst suspecting that the account holder may not be entitled to payment thereof, it may be sued by the victim of fraud or theft who seeks to recover loss suffered at the hand of the fraudster or thief from the bank. Ultimately, this study illustrates that amendment of some of the provisions of South Africa’s anti-money laundering legislation should enable banks to manage the aforementioned and other unforeseen consequences of money laundering control whilst at the same time contribute to the South African anti-money laundering effort.

Abstract:

Grigory Ivanovich Borisov, party alias Stary (Old) was born in the Bendery district of Bessarabia on December 9, 1880. He was forced to work from the age of seven. Since 1900, G. I. Stary took part in the revolutionary movement. For active participation in clandestine activities, he was repeatedly arrested by the police and served sentences in various prisons of tsarist Russia. G. I. Stary made a great contribution to the creation and development of the Moldovan ASSR. In 1924, he was appointed chairman of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee of the Autonomous Republic. Then G. I. Stary was elected chairman of the Central Executive Committee. In 1926–1928 and 1932–1937, he worked as chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the MASSR. Contemporaries assessed his position on the issue of “Moldovans or Romanians” as ambivalent. G. I. Stary denied accusations of opposing the indigenous policy: “It is wrong that I am against Moldovanization. I only take into account the difficulties, and this is taken as resistance”. He was repressed in 1937 and rehabilitated in 1955. The article was written on the basis of materials from the Soviet secret police (NKVD) archive.

Abstract:

Codex Alimentarius is a collection of international food standards aimed at protecting human health and removing barriers to international trade. The Codex Committee on Fats and Oils (CCFO) is responsible for the development of world-wide standards for fats and oils of animal, vegetable, and marine origin. With the rapid increase in the production, international trade, and value of avocado oil, an international standard is needed to ensure the authenticity and purity of avocado oil. The CCFO has undertaken work on a revision to the Codex Standard for Named Vegetable Oils to include a definition and provisions for the chemical and physical characteristics of avocado oil. This includes provisions for fatty acid composition, chemical and physical characteristics, sterol content and composition, as well as tocopherol and tocotrienol content and composition. This will be an overview of the progress of the committee, Â the current draft provisions, and the upcoming work and data that are needed in order to finalize and adopt avocado oil into the Standard for Named Vegetable Oils.

Full text

Abstract:

Committee Mandate Concern for load analysis and structural design of offshore renewable energy devices. Attention shall be given to the interaction between the load and structural response of fixed and floating installations taking due consideration of the stochastic and extreme nature of the ocean environment. Aspects related to design, prototype testing, certification, marine operations, levelized cost of energy and life cycle management shall be considered. Introduction This is the sixth time that ISSC has included the Specialist Committee V.4 Offshore Renewable Energy, which started in 2006. Two members of the committee for this term (2018-2022) were involved in the work for the previous term (2016-2018), which formulates a good base for the cooperative work in the last three years. The mandate of the committee was discussed at the beginning of the work, and it was slightly modified to include extreme environmental conditions and interaction of structures to the seabed, reliability-based design, safety and integrated design, topics which have been central to the discussion for developing offshore renewable energy, and hence should be discussed in the committee report. Another variation of this committee’s report has been the consideration of floating wind developments in a separate chapter as deployments are currently moving further offshore and in deeper waters, as well as the explicit reference to hybrid solutions. Offshore wind energy still dominates offshore renewable energy technologies with extensive installed capacity and ambitious targets which constitute this technology as a key contributor towards the ambitious 2050 net zero emissions targets. For these targets to be achieved, it is imperative to innovate and further develop not only wind energy but also other offshore, marine and hybrid energy technologies, harvesting as much as possible the energy potential. Challenges related to wind energy include, among others, the upscaling at both a unit as well as a farm level, development of foundations relevant to deep waters, serial production of floating foundations and effective mooring systems, and investigation of support systems to inform end-of-life scenarios including service life extension, repowering or decommissioning. Marine renewables on the other hand, still need to overcome challenges related to structural response in extreme phenomena and reliability of mechanical components which sharply escalate the levelized cost of energy. Within this report we have considered peer reviewed academic articles, selected conference proceedings and some reference industry reports. Overall, more than 500 sources have been reviewed and 350 have eventually qualified to be included in this state-of-the-art review. The time span of the review includes contributions from August 2017 to August 2021. The term of this committee has been extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The report has been organized into 9 subsections. Following this short introduction, a session on bottom fixed wind turbines is included, following the structure of the previous committee’s report, with the addition of design provisions for extreme phenomena which are particularly relevant in South-East Asia and a subsection on advanced structural analysis. Next, a dedicated section on floating wind turbines is included, following a similar structure, with the addition of moorings and dynamic cables which is relevant to this class of foundations. Next three subsections present developments on wave energy converters, tidal and ocean current turbines, and other offshore renewable energy technologies and hybrid solutions. Following this, a subsection on life-cycle cost and operational management of offshore renewable energy is presented, identifying key cost elements that attract attention for research and development. Section 8 summarizes the efforts of the committee members to investigate a benchmarking study on the comparison of the existing design guidelines with respect to design of mooring systems. Finally, the last section of the report lists some conclusions which stem out of the review and key challenges that research should try to address in the next few years.

Abstract:

This report aims to reveal and examine the historical aspects of the separation of certain transport crimes from the crimes committed with professional negligence. For a long period, the doctrine had the understanding that the transport activities being a source of major danger are only an aspect of the issues regarding professional negligence. In relation to that, the crimes committed by drivers (whether these drivers were professional or unprofessional) were qualified as crimes committed with professional negligence (under art. 131 and art. 146 of the Criminal Code from 1956), while only crimes committed by transport workers and employees were qualified under the special constituent elements of the crimes under art. 333 and art. 334 of the Criminal Code from 1956. Through amendments in 1982 with the Act to Amend and Supplement the Criminal Code, the drivers are included in the scope of possible subjects of the crimes against transport and communications along with the transport workers or employees. Through these legislative changes (the adoption of the provisions of art. 342 and art. 343 of the present Criminal Code) the aimed unification in the penal responsibility of the transport workers and the unprofessional drivers of motor vehicles is achieved.

Full text

Abstract:

Building design codes in the US do not include any consideration of tsunami design, even though past tsunamis have caused significant structural damage in coastal communities. In February 2011 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) formed a new Tsunami Loads and Effects subcommittee, which spent four years to develop a new chapter for inclusion in the ASCE7-16 Standard, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This new chapter has now been approved by the ASCE7 Main Committee and ASCE7-16 has been published with a new Chapter 6, Tsunami Loads and Effects. In December 2016, ASCE 7–16 was officially adopted by the International Code Council, with the new chapter on Tsunami Loads and Effects, for inclusion in the US model code, IBC 2018. The tsunami design provisions will apply to all coastal communities in California, Oregon, Washington State, Alaska and Hawaii. This paper presents an overview of the new ASCE7-16 Tsunami Loads and Effects design provisions and how they were developed based on field survey observations and laboratory experimentation.

Full text

Abstract:

In EN 1994-1, design rules are given for the evaluation of the mechanical properties of structural steel-concrete composite joints (rotational stiffness, resistance and ductility) based on the component method offered in EN 1993-1-8 and adding specific components for composite joints. These rules cover only the situations for the joints subjected to shear forces and hogging moments. However, during the last decades, researches have been conducted on the behaviour of composite joints subjected to different kind of actions such as sagging bending moments, cyclic loadings, combined bending moments and axial loads, elevated temperatures etc. with the objective of improving/extending the rules presently proposed in the Eurocodes design rules. As an outcome of the Technical Committee 11 of the European Convention of Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) dedicated to the behaviour of composite structures, a publication summarising these recent developments and their main outcomes is under finalisation. Within the present paper, it is proposed to highlight these main outcomes which could be seen as proposals for future improvements of the beam-to-column provisions in Eurocodes in general and of Eurocode 4 in particular.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Pressurized water reactor designs preclude full-flow testing of certain safety-related standby pumps during power operations. This is problematic for Group B pumps that test in the alert range under comprehensive pump test conditions that are only available during refueling outages. The ASME OM committees sought to resolve this issue when new provisions were added to ISTB-6200 in ASME OM-2012. The provisions allow analysis of pump performance in lieu of testing at an increased frequency. Palo Verde Generating Station employed these rules to satisfy OM requirements for a vibration alert range entry of its high pressure safety injection pump without having to submit for regulatory relief or shut down to perform the test. The changes to ISTB-6200 in ASME OM-2012 give plants the flexibility to ensure safe operation without undergoing extraordinary measures to accommodate testing requirements.

Abstract:

A summary of the progress being made in Europe towards the provision of standards for advanced technical ceramics is given. Under CEN Technical Committee 184, working groups have been preparing more than 40 standards in the areas of classification, powders, monolithic ceramics, long-fibre composites and ceramic coatings. The target date for this work was the end of 1992. Considerable progress has been made, and by the end of 1993, most of these should have been published. It is hoped that the formation of this standards base will improve the quality of testing and the reliability of property data on this class of materials, and thus improve confidence in their use as engineering materials.

Full text

Abstract:

Evaluation of life safety risks to facility occupants, public, and the environment that may result from earthquake events involves both building structures and equipment supported from these structures. But, it is the seismic design of building structures that typically receive the bulk of the attention from the code committees of the national professional organizations and the regulatory authorities. For safety related equipment in nuclear facilities (e.g., Seismic Category I equipment in nuclear power plants and Seismic Performance Category 3 and 4 equipment in the Department of Energy facilities), the seismic design and analysis guidelines and acceptance criteria are well established. But, for Nonseismic Category equipment in nuclear power plants and Seismic Performance Category 1 and 2 equipment in Department of Energy facilities, these have not yet been developed to the same level of completeness and rigor. The code provisions and guidelines available today for these lower class/categories of equipment are briefly, but critically discussed here, along with a comparison of the results of the application of these code provisions.

Haynes, Ben, Tahmnina Khan, Ruth Willis, Camilla Alexander-White, and Alan Boobis. Joint position paper from the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) & Committee on Toxicity (COT) on establishing a provisional acceptable daily intake (ADI) for pure form (≥98%) cannabidiol (CBD) in foods, based on new evidence. Food Standards Agency, October 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.zcg392.

Full text

Abstract:

Following the announcement by the FSA that from 31st March 2021, all CBD products on the market must have their safety assured by companies submitting a valid safety application, there have been a large number of CBD-related novel food applications. Consequently, a significant level of additional data has become available that requires review. A joint Subgroup of the ACNFP and COT was formed to address a series of questions in relation to the safety of CBD-containing and hemp-derived ingredients. The overarching aim of the Subgroup is to enable the FSA to perform risk assessments for CBD in food. While there are a number of routes of exposure for CBD, the provisional ADI stated in this paper has been established on the basis of oral exposure. The objectives of the Subgroup are to: Review the new data received from the novel food applications. Update previous reviews of CBD safety evidence and provide revised conclusions based on these reviews. Provide advice on whether the data available support identification of an Acceptable Daily Intake for CBD as a food ingredient. 1. This joint position paper by the ACNFP and COT is the outcome of discussions as of March 2023, which have focused on the risk assessment of foods and supplements in which the CBD ingredient itself is at least ≥98% purity. The new position described below provides advice on the safety of ingesting products containing at least ≥98% pure CBD via oral administration only and forms a basis for considering the applications under the Novel Foods Regulation. This advice should not be applied directly to CBD products that are inhaled or applied dermally, nor does it consider exposure from such product types.

Full text

Abstract:

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in January 2021 from Chanelle McCoy CBD Ltd (“the applicant”) for the authorisation of synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) as a novel food. The novel food is a synthetic >98% pure form CBD which is intended to be used as food supplements for adults. For CBD a provisional Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 10 mg/day has been published by the FSA and was considered in assessing this novel food. The provisional ADI (section 2.7) was recommended, subject to the existing advice to consumers that pregnant and breastfeeding women and people taking any prescription medication should avoid the consumption of CBD. Consumers on regular medications should seek advice from a medical professional before using any type of CBD food product. In addition, children and prospective parents trying for a baby are advised against consumption of CBD, as are those who are immunosuppressed, due to remaining data gaps and residual uncertainties concerning the safety of CBD for these groups of consumers. These contraindications would also apply to this novel food. To support the FSA and FSS in their evaluations of the application, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) were asked to review the dossier and supplementary information provided by the applicant. Please note the Committee did not consider any potential health benefits or claims arising from consuming the food, as the focus of the novel food assessment is to ensure the food is safe, and not putting consumers at a nutritional disadvantage. The FSA and FSS concluded based on the advice of the ACNFP, that the applicant had provided sufficient information to assure the novel food, synthetic CBD, was safe under the proposed conditions of use. The anticipated intake levels and the proposed use in foods and food supplements was not considered to be nutritionally disadvantageous. The views of the ACNFP have been taken into account in the regulatory assessment which represents the opinions of the FSA and FSS.

The Conference gave impetus to the changing paradigm for assistance to small enterprises: away from the direct provision of business development services by governments and donor agencies toward the development of markets for BDS appropriate to the needs of small enterprises. By facilitating the provision of services by private providers and stimulating the demand for services by small enterprise clients, donors and governments can increase the outreach, sustainability and cost-effectiveness of these services and increase their impact on small enterprise competitiveness.

Full text

Abstract:

In 2022 and 2023, the CSA Centre carried out a major research project to better understand the provision and availability of support services in England and Wales for people affected by child sexual abuse. Our research identified a wide range of dedicated and committed services providing support to victims/survivors through a diverse and often innovative delivery offer. Yet it was clear that this fell a long way short of meeting the need for support, and that many services were on a precarious and uncertain financial footing. A ‘postcode lottery’ was evident in terms of the likelihood that victims/survivors could access support that met their needs, although there was shortage everywhere. This document summarises the research findings and their implications, with a particular focus on the support available for adults who have been sexually abused as children.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper explores access to water, sanitation, and health in pastoral communities in northern Tanzania. It argues that the concept of gender, used on its own, is not enough to understand the complexities of sanitation, hygiene, water, and health. It explores pastoralists’ views and perspectives on what is ‘clean’, ‘safe’, and ‘healthy’, and their need to access water and create sanitary arrangements that work for them, given the absence of state provision of modern water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. Although Tanzania is committed to enhancing its citizens’ access to WASH services, pastoral sanitation and hygiene tend to be overlooked and little attention is paid to complex ways in which access to ‘clean’ water and ‘adequate sanitation’ is structured in these communities. This paper offers an intersectional analysis of water and sanitation needs, showing how structural discrimination in the form of a lack of appropriate infrastructure, a range of sociocultural norms and values, and individual stratifiers interact to influence the sanitation and health needs of pastoralist men, women, boys, and girls.

Full text

Abstract:

This report details the findings of an Ontario-wide survey of 1194 school educators which is part of a larger study funded by funded by the Social Sciences Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The survey was developed in consultation with trans educators, school board officials, and community members and included a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. The report is structured according to educators’ responses to questions about trans-inclusive policies, self-rated knowledge, and understanding of trans inclusion and gender diversity, training received, use of resources and the barriers to fostering gender diversity in schools. Educators’ recommendations and advice on improving education about trans inclusivity in schools are also reported. Key findings revealed that there continue to be systemic and structural impediments to supporting trans inclusion and gender diversity in schools, in terms of both the failure to enact policy and to provide adequate support, education, and resourcing for educators. Recommendations are outlined which relate to the need for further development of policies that identify the allocation of resources for both professional development and curriculum development as central to the necessary provision of support for trans students and creating gender-affirming schools. The report also stipulates the necessity for sustained accountability measures to be established by governing bodies, such as the Ontario Ministry of Education, for supporting gender diversity and trans inclusion with the explicit objective of supporting school boards fiscally in the provision of professional development and development of resources. Teacher Education faculties also need to be committed to ensuring that teacher candidates are provided with the knowledge and understanding of trans inclusion and what trans affirmative education entails.

Full text

Abstract:

In the Philippines, demand for family planning (FP) is high, and the government is committed to helping the population achieve universal access to quality FP information and services. Reach Health Assessing Cost-Effectiveness for Family Planning (RACE-FP) is a decision support tool designed to estimate the impact FP interventions have on averting unintended pregnancies and on downstream maternal and neonatal health (MNH) outcomes. This report provides technical details of the RACE-FP model. RACE-FP is organized by objectives: improve postpartum FP, improve public sector and private sector provision of FP, improve demand for FP, reduce contraceptive stockouts, and introduce a modern contraceptive method. Although other models have been developed to estimate the impact of contraceptive use on averting unintended pregnancy at the national level for the Philippines, RACE-FP is the only model to provide estimates at national and regional levels, include intervention and commodity costs, disaggregate outcomes by age group and setting (public, private, community), and estimate the broader impact of modern contraceptive prevalence on MNH outcomes. RACE-FP can be an important resource to determine the relative benefit of FP interventions in the Philippines and could support policy decisions globally.

Full text

Abstract:

The provision of concessional finance has become an increasingly important tool to support enterprise development, especially where financial markets are underdeveloped. For the purposes of this research, concessional finance is defined as that which is extended on terms and/or conditions that are more favourable than those available from the market. This can be achieved, for example, via lower risk adjusted return expectations; terms and conditions that would not be accepted/extended by a commercial financial institution; and/or by providing financing to a borrower/recipient not otherwise served by commercial financing. Risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products are also included when they are provided on concessional terms. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom (UK) has committed funding to a range of concessional finance investors in the agriculture sector, including significant sums for the CDC Group (the UK's development finance institution), AgDevCo (a specialist agribusiness impact investor), the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) Private Sector Window, and the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF). FCDO also makes smaller contributions to more specialized institutions as well as collaborative interventions with other donors in the agriculture sector. These organizations cover the spectrum of investment themes, from close-to-market interest rates for more established businesses to long-term, low- or no-interest debt with packages of advisory support for early stage or highly innovative business models. They deploy a wide range of instruments, some funded, which includes all types of concessional debt and equity; and others unfunded, which covers risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products when they are provided on concessional terms. Implementing partners use different methods for monitoring and reporting the performance of the concessional funding provided by donors, using both customized measurement mechanisms or those based on more broadly accepted standards such as the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED). Research ranges from light touch human interest case studies to more formal longitudinal analysis using rigorous statistical survey methods. Academic institutions are increasingly contributing quality research, particularly to the assessment and understanding of development impact, often in partnership with impact investors. Donors themselves both directly engage in research but also provide the majority of the funding for evidence-based learning in both investors and academia. After more than a decade of concerted investment and innovation in the concessional finance space, particularly in sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, there is increasing interest in understanding whether these interventions are providing the development impacts expected and which financing tools and institutions are most effective for different types of farmer and or food market systems. These lessons will allow good practices to be replicated in future and implementation modalities to be improved to maximize development impact and financial performance.
