En la última década se ha venido observando un creciente desarrollo del mercado inmobiliario a nivel nacional y más concretamente, en la ciudad de Lima. Desde el año 2007 los precios de los inmuebles han aumentado de manera considerable y en algunos distritos, el valor del metro cuadrado casi se ha cuadruplicado o incluso quintuplicado. Esto, como es comprensible, ha producido un incremento significativo de la oferta de bienes inmobiliarios y la demanda, lejos de disminuir, ha ido creciendo año a año y esa tendencia se ha mantenido hasta el día de hoy. El buen estado de la economía y la estabilidad económica del país ha estimulado el ingreso de nuevas inversiones, logrando que la economía interna se dinamice. La población del Perú ha tenido acceso a más y mejores puestos de trabajo aumentando su poder adquisitivo y, en consecuencia, ser objeto de créditos dentro del sistema financiero. Esto hace que el deseo por parte de los ciudadanos de adquirir una vivienda propia esté acompañado de los recursos necesarios para poder cumplirlo. Esta demanda tiene su mayor concentración en la población joven constituida por nuevos profesionales con un gran deseo de superación, alcanzando el logro de metas y elevando su calidad de vida. Este crecimiento de la demanda, por una parte, ha generado el ingreso al mercado de innumerables empresas inmobiliarias y constructoras para satisfacerla y, por otro, la consolidación de empresas de fundación anterior a lo que se podría denominar el "boom de la construcción" en el Perú. Es en este segundo grupo donde se encuentra la empresa objeto del presente trabajo: CIUDARIS CONSULTORES INMOBILIARIOS S.A. En la actualidad, por el lado de la política se observa, desde hace algunos años, una inestabilidad que puede influir negativamente en el aspecto económico. Es por este motivo que las empresas deberían empezar a evaluar sus estrategias para ver cómo afrontar este fenómeno y poder ser sostenibles en el tiempo y no desaparecer debido a la coyuntura actual. Aquello hace que la creación de un plan estratégicos una prioridad, con las estrategias adecuadas para lograr el éxito deseado. Cabe mencionar que un plan estratégico no se realiza únicamente para afrontar un escenario adverso, sino también para lograr que las organizaciones logren ser más competitivas frente a coyunturas positivas o de auge económico. La creación y desarrollo de un Plan Estratégico comprende una metodología claramente definida. El primer paso para comenzar a elaborar un plan estratégico consiste en expresar el estado actual de la empresa, cuáles son las metas a cumplir y ver lo que sería en un futuro próximo. Para ello se ha de determinar la misión, la visión y los valores de la organización. El segundo paso a desarrollar ha de ser un estudio de los factores internos como externo de la misma considerando su entorno. Porque son estos mismos, quienes controlan una empresa, se reflejan en las debilidades - fortalezas, oportunidades - amenazas, de la misma, respectivamente. En el ámbito interno se pueden identificar factores que intervienen directamente con la gestión de la empresa, entre ellos: la competencia de producción, la financiera, la competencia de investigación, la competencia del personal, la competencia de desarrollo, entre otras competencias. Ya, en el ámbito externo se evalúan factores socioculturales, fuerzas políticas que influyan en el contexto, la competencia: proveedores y clientes, así como la demografía y la situación económica del entorno. Finalmente la creación y desarrollo de un plan estratégico responde principalmente a una única pregunta: ¿Cómo se ha de conseguir la visión establecida?, para ello es imprescindible y obligatorio , el diseño de una estrategia de negocio, ya que aquello significa la existencia de una herramienta que permita ejecutar una serie o cadena de actividades, de acuerdo con un listado de objetivos trazados a largo y corto plazo, acorde con estrategias de acción que conforma un plan estratégico con el cual se ha de garantizar y lograr el éxito de una organización. Por consiguiente, la presente investigación procura y ambiciona la creación de un plan estratégico para la empresa CIUDARIS Consultores Inmobiliarios S.A, en el cual se ha de examinar el estado actual de la organización, así como los factores determinantes anteriormente mencionados, que todo plan incluye, entre ellos: la misión, la visión, los factores externos e internos, haciendo uso de los valores que distinguen a la empresa mediante la correcta e idónea selección de estrategias para conseguir el éxito de las metas propuestas de acuerdo con los objetivos establecidos a largo y corto plazo. ; In the last decade there has been a growing development of the real estate market nationwide and more specifically, in the city of Lima. Since 2007 the prices of real estate have increased considerably and in some districts, the value of the square meter has almost quadrupled or even quintupled. This, as is understandable, has produced a significant increase in the supply of real estate and demand, far from diminishing, has been growing year by year and that trend has continued to this day. The good state of the economy and the economic stability of the country has stimulated the entry of new investments, making the internal economy energize. The population of Peru has had access to more and better jobs by increasing their purchasing power and, consequently, being subject to loans within the financial system. This means that the desire on the part of the citizens to acquire their own home is accompanied by the necessary resources to fulfill it. This demand has its highest concentration in the young population constituted by new professionals with a great desire to overcome, reaching the achievement of goals and raising their quality of life. This growth in demand, on the one hand, has generated the entry to the market of innumerable real estate and construction companies to satisfy it and, on the other, the consolidation of companies with a foundation prior to what could be called the "construction boom" in Peru. It is in this second group that the company object of this work is located: CIUDARIS CONSULTORES INMOBILIARIOS S.A. At present, on the political side there has been, for some years, an instability that can negatively influence the economic aspect. It is for this reason that companies should begin to evaluate their strategies to see how to deal with this phenomenon and be sustainable over time and not disappear due to the current situation. That makes the creation of a strategic plan a priority, with the right strategies to achieve the desired success. It is worth mentioning that a strategic plan is not only made to face an adverse scenario, but also to make organizations more competitive in the face of positive situations or economic boom. The creation and development of a Strategic Plan includes a clearly defined methodology. The first step to begin developing a strategic plan is to express the current state of the company, what are the goals to be met and see what it would be in the near future. For this, the company's values must be determined, as well as its mission and vision. The second step is to prepare the internal and external analysis of the company considering its environment. Therefore, the internal and external factors, which control a company, are reflected in the weaknesses - strengths, opportunities - threats, of the company, respectively. Internally, factors that intervene directly with the management of the company can be identified, including: production capacity, financial capacity, research capacity, staff capacity, development capacity, among other capacities. Already, sociocultural factors, political forces that influence the context, competition: suppliers and customers, as well as demography and the economic situation of the environment are evaluated externally. Finally, the creation and development of a strategic plan responds mainly to a single question: How is the established vision to be achieved? For this purpose, the design of a business strategy is essential and mandatory, since that means the existence of a tool that allows to execute a series or chain of activities, in accordance with a list of long and short term objectives, in accordance with action strategies that conform a strategic plan with which to guarantee and achieve the success of an organization. Therefore, having an overview of what is covered and involved, the development of a strategic plan, the present investigation seeks and seeks the creation of a strategic plan for the company CIUDARIS Consultores Inmobiliarios SA, in which the state has to be examined of the organization, as well as the determining factors mentioned above, which every plan includes, among them: the mission, the vision, the external and internal factors, making use of the values that distinguish the company through the correct and suitable selection of the strategies to achieve the achievement of established goals, according to the short and long them objectives. ; Trabajo de investigación ; Escuela de Postgrado
Over the past four months we have read and heard more about BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Mad Cow Disease) than we may have ever wanted to know. The California Cattlemen's Association and other allied groups, particularly the NCBA have done a wonderful job in terms of getting out the facts about BSE and the message that beef is safe for consumers. The BSE issue is extremely complicated and I will compare some of what has been done in France with our situation in California. What are the critical control points for preventing BSE in U.S. cattle? The first step is to prevent the introduction of cattle into the U.S. that might be "incubating" the disease. This is the basis of our ban on the importation of any cattle from countries that are known or suspected of having BSE. For example, we banned the importation of cattle from Britain after 1986 and banned live cattle importation from Canada in May of 2003. Secondly, because this disease is transmitted by the feeding of contaminated meat and bone meal (MBM), the feed ban on feeding ruminant MBM to cattle was put into effect in 1997 in the U.S. Obviously, it is imperative that this feed ban be strictly enforced and this is the responsibility of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The third measure is to have an active surveillance program to be sure the other preventive measures are working correctly. The surveillance program must include potential clinical cases of BSE and must also include "at-risk cattle" (downer cattle are part of this "at-risk" group). Additionally, our veterinary diagnostic laboratories are excellent at detecting various diseases in cattle, especially diseases like BSE or rabies that have public health concerns. The monitoring of clinical cases of BSE has been actively occurring for almost 18 years. Secondly, the surveillance of "at-risk cattle" has also been an active area for a number of years. This is the part of the surveillance program that found the BSE-positive Canadian dairy cow in Washington state last year. In 2003, the USDA tested about 20,000 cattle for BSE. The USDA's surveillance of "at-risk cattle" had focused on downer cattle at slaughter houses. Because downer cattle can no longer be slaughtered for human consumption, the USDA will need to accomplish this part of the surveillance program by other methods. It is still extremely important to monitor this group of animals for BSE. In March, 2004 the USDA announced that BSE testing will be done on 286,000 or more cattle per year for the near future. Also, this testing will be accomplished by using the agency's network of 20 regional laboratories and by the use of the rapid test technology that allows negative results to be reported within 24 hours or less. Additionally, to satisfy our export markets (Japan, South Korea, etc); it may become necessary to test a percentage of healthy cattle over 30 months of age when they are slaughtered. Therefore, surveillance of cattle for BSE will continue to be an important part of our preventive measures. An additional preventive measure in the future will be the development of cost effective tests that can be used on live animals. This would allow us to detect BSE "infected" cattle before slaughter. Sheep also have a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy called Scrapie and there is a test to detect this disease in the live animal. Also, some sheep are resistant to Scrapie and some are more susceptible. Currently, there are genetic tests available to detect this resistance or susceptibility. To prevent BSE it would be extremely helpful to have both live cattle tests and genetic susceptibility tests. Hopefully, these tests can be developed and implemented in the future. What are the critical control points for food safety with regard to BSE? The main food safety procedure is to prevent BSE in U.S. cattle in the first place. If healthy slaughtered cattle over 30 months of age are tested for BSE it is essential to have "test and hold" facilities at the plants. The carcasses will have to be held until the negative test results are reported. This would prevent the possibility of large scale meat recalls due to false positives. A very important procedure is to eliminate the "specified risk materials" (SRMs) from the human food chain. This process has already been initiated. The SRMs include the brain, eyes, skull, tonsils, spinal cord, spleen, small intestines, vertebral column (bones of the neck and back that surround the spinal canal), and thymus. For animals over 30 months of age, the SRMs will be removed from the carcass, segregated, and eliminated from the food supply. How does France compare to California? Both have very large agricultural bases. France is about 1.3 times the size of California. France has a population of 60 million and California has about 36 million people. If we count all the beef cattle, calves, dairy cattle, stockers, and feedlot cattle in California the number is probably less than 6 million, in France there are 20 million cattle. The average herd size in France is about 70 head and the average farm size is 140 acres. France is first in beef exports in the European Union (EU) and California is number one in agricultural exports in the U.S. France diagnosed their first case of BSE in 1991 and has had about 900 confirmed cases since that time. We have not seen a case of BSE in California and the U.S. has only had the one BSE case imported from Canada. What does the BSE prevention program in France look like? Many of the points covered in the first section are included in the French program. Their ban on feeding meat and bone meal started in 1990 and has been expanded several times in subsequent years. Currently, meat and bone meal from any source cannot be fed to any farmed animals (including poultry, swine, or sheep) in France. The ban on meat and bone meal feeding is the most important preventive measure in BSE control programs. The surveillance program in France was also started in 1990 and focused on clinically sick cattle that might have BSE. In the year 2000, they begin to look at all "at risk cattle" and are currently testing over 270,000 cattle in this category per year. Additionally, beginning in 2001 all healthy cattle over 24 months of age at slaughter are tested. The number of cattle in this last category is 3 million per year. Since 1991, there have been just less than 900 cases of BSE diagnosed in France. Twenty-three percent (23%) of these have been in clinical cases, 47% have been in "at risk cattle", and 30% have been in healthy slaughtered cattle. Additionally, the majority of BSE cases diagnosed were born after the 1990 feed ban. This is a very important point we need to remember. What does the BSE prevention program in France cost? During 2003 the French program for BSE prevention and surveillance cost them about 900 million dollars (750 million Euros). This amount was about 57% of the total animal health budget for France. Much of this cost is for the removal and disposal of the SRMs from slaughtered animals. Additionally, the animal identification program needed to track the animals from their farm of origin through slaughter is another cost to be considered. Does BSE occur spontaneously in cattle? The message that BSE occurs spontaneously in cattle has been repeated in the media several times. Where does this idea come from? There is a disease in humans called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) which does occur spontaneously. It occurs at a rate of about 1-2 people per million population per year, worldwide. This is the so-called spontaneous CJD. Some have extrapolated this information to the cattle population, saying that BSE occurs spontaneously in cattle just as spontaneous CJD occurs in humans. Therefore, if we have about 100 million cattle in the U.S., we have 100-200 cases of BSE each year. This assumption is the basis for the argument that we should be testing every slaughtered animal for BSE. There is no basis in fact for this assumption, however. To the contrary, there is ample evidence that BSE is not occurring spontaneously. For example, we have been able to detect cattle diseases with public health significance that occurs at a much lower rate than 1 per million and one such disease is rabies. The diagnosis of rabies is dependent on a thorough examination of the brain of the animal. BSE diagnosis is also dependent on the complete examination and testing of the animal's brain. In California, cattle rabies is detected every year or so and almost every case is associated with significant human exposure. If we were unable to detect this central nervous system disease (rabies) one or more fatal cases of rabies in humans would occur. The fact is, we are able to routinely diagnose rabies and the same experts are more than capable of diagnosing BSE. Every veterinary diagnostic laboratory in every state is actively looking for BSE and has been since 1986. We are not missing the diagnosis of BSE in cattle in the U.S. Those who are publicly concerned about spontaneous BSE in cattle and who advocate testing all slaughtered cattle are not at all concerned about beef products imported into the U.S. If BSE does spontaneously occur, it must do so world wide, thus imported beef products would carry the same or greater risk. We must insist on using the science as our guide in making policy regarding BSE.
Questa ricerca riguarda l'analisi di bacini sintettonici neogenici che si sono sviluppati in varie posizioni rispetto all'orogene siciliano-maghrebide. Lo studio dei bacini in ambiente cinematico convergente e dei depositi che ne costituiscono il riempimento sedimentario, rappresenta uno degli strumenti fondamentali per la comprensione delle modalità con cui avviene la progressiva strutturazione di una zona di catena. In questo lavoro sono stati analizzati i bacini con riempimento di età compresa tra il Serravalliano superiore e il Messiniano inferiore, che si trovano sul fronte e sul dorso della catena siciliana (Thrust Top Basin, Piggy Back Basin) mettendoli in relazione dal punto di vista genetico e stratigrafico-strutturale nel contesto del foreland basin system siciliano. Lo studio è stato condotto nei settori della Sicilia centro-occidentale centrale e orientale, in particolare nell'area di Polizzi Generosa, Resuttano e Catenanuova – Centuripe. In queste aree a partire dall'Oligocene-Miocene la costruzione della catena siciliana è stata accompagnata dalla formazione di sistemi di bacini periferici che migrano verso le zone di avampaese. In particolare, durante il Miocene superiore (Tortoniano sup.-Messiniano inf.) si depositarono dei cunei di sedimenti silicoclastici sulle scaglie tettoniche in movimento. Nel Tortoniano sup.-Messiniano inf. questi bacini sono riempiti da uno spesso cuneo di sedimenti silico-clastici, fluvio-deltizi, marini e carbonatici che si accumulano su un substrato in movimento molto spesso deformato. La base del lavoro effettuato è rappresentata dal rilevamento geologico di dettaglio alla scala 1:10.000. La distinzione tra i principali corpi mappati è stata basata principalmente su caratteri di natura litologica, sedimentologica, stratigrafica (trend deposizionali analisi delle variazioni verticali e laterali di facies), misura di paleocorrenti e studio delle strutture direzionali (clasti embricati pebble cluster). Durante la fase di rilevamento sono state individuate anche le principali strutture tettoniche, misurati i valori giaciturali e rappresentati tramite diagrammi di tipo stereonet. Sono stati misurati dei log sedimentologici di dettaglio in aree chiave per la definizione della successione stratigrafica e dei principali ambienti deposizionali. La misurazione di tali sezioni è stata accompagnata dalla raccolta di circa 45 campioni per analisi micropaleontologiche. Per la classificazione di ciascun bacino sedimentario, è stato fatto riferimento alle classificazioni proposte dai vari autori, in particolare Allen & Allen (1993) e DeCelles & Giles (1996). Per la classificazione e codificazione dei depositi terrigeni è stata utilizzata la classificazione di Miall (1978-1985). La successione tardo miocenica nell'area di Polizzi si presenta con un trend fining e deepening upward caratterizzata dalla sovrapposizione verso l'alto di litofacies conglomeratiche, sabbiose ed argillose mostranti rapporti laterali eteropici. Nell'area di Polizzi i terreni del Tortoniano sup.-Messiniano inf. appartenenti alla Fm. Terravecchia si sovrappongono con rapporti di troncatura erosiva e discordanza sulle arenarie ed argille sabbiose della Fm. Castellana Sicula (Serravalliano sup. –Tortoniano inf.) che affiorano, con limitata estensione solo nella parte SE del bacino o sulle unità tettoniche già strutturate della catena ed in particolare sulle Argille Varicolori (Cretaceo-Eocene inf). Il limite superiore della Fm. Terravecchia si rinviene localmente ed è rappresentato da una superficie di discordanza e discontinuità ricoperta rispettivamente da carbonati di scogliera riferibili alla Fm. Baucina (Tortoniano sup. Messiniano inf) o dalle delle gessareniti della Fm di Pasquasia (Messiniano sup.), chiudono la successioni i Trubi (Zancleano). All'interno della successione stratigrafica tardo miocenica sono state differenziate due settori con associazioni di facies differenti: il settore NW presenta, a partire dal basso, conglomerati politipici con elementi carbonatici, silicei, cristallini, organizzati in unità tabulari, con spessore totale di circa 20 m, con matrice sabbiosa rossastra, riferibili ad un contesto di conoide alluvionale che hanno registrato un trend medio di paleoflusso da NNE a SSW. A seguire arenarie con granulometria da grossolana a media, con geometria esterna lentiforme, con spessore di 25 m che diminuisce verso sud, organizzate in strati metrici con geometria esterna tabulare e stratificazione incrociata ad alto angolo, nella parte bassa, che passano verso l'alto a livelli con stratificazione incrociata a basso angolo di tipo swaley (SCS) ed hummocky (HCS); queste litofacies sono riferibili ad un contesto di wave dominated shoreface delta system che hanno registrato un trend medio di paleocorrente concorde con i conglomerati da NNE a SSW. Chiude la successione un corpo di argille siltose e silt argillosi con fauna planctonica riferibili ad un contesto marino "aperto". Nella zona orientale, invece, a partire dal basso si riconoscono conglomerati organizzati in unità di spessore metrico con geometria concava, costituiti da conglomerati rossastri massivi o mal stratificati, riconducibili a contesti deposizionali di tipo braided river a canali concavi che hanno registrato un trend di paleocorrente che va da ENE a WSW. Seguono facies calcarenitiche medio-grossolane con grande quantità di bivalvi, arrangiate in strati metrici che si intervallano a strati costituite da arenarie medio fini, che presentano clinoformi progradanti verso W con inclinazione di 20°. Queste facies sono attribuibili ad un contesto di delta front. Da punto di vista strutturale il bacino di Polizzi è una sinclinale con asse che si sviluppa in direzione NNE-SSW. Il fianco occidentale risulta essere più inclinato di quello orientale, circa 35° per il primo e immersione a ENE e circa 25° il secondo con immersione WSW. Nell'area sono presenti faglie dirette con orientazione circa NE-SW e non vi sono evidenze che queste faglie abbiano avuto movimento durante le fasi deposizionali. La successione stratigrafica nel settore di Polizzi è riconducibile principalmente a due sistemi deposizionali: uno di fan delta system (Galloway 1988), evolvente a wave dominated shoreface delta system (Howell et al., 2003) ed uno di river delta system, che confluivano all'interno di un bacino da due diverse direzioni: il primo da N-NNE verso S-SSW il secondo da ENE verso WSW alimentati da una sorgente caratterizzata dall'attiva erosione delle unità cristalline Kabilo- Calabridi e da prodotti derivanti da vulcanismo di tipo calcalcalino come dimostrato dalla presenza di basalti andesitici. Il meccanismo deposizionale che interessava la parte occidentale (grain flow) induce a considerare che i corsi d'acqua che alimentavano la piana alluvionale si sviluppavano per un tratto relativamente corto mantenendo un gradiente elevato fino allo sbocco nel bacino ricevente. I depositi di shoreface media superiore invece si formano nel momento in cui si ha risalita del livello del mare modifica il tipo di apporto sedimentario, infatti cominciano a depositarsi sabbie ben cernite di taglia medio-grossolana con un grosso sviluppo verticale che lateralmente riducono il loro spessore verso il bacino e aumentano verso terra (river-dominated shoreface delta system). Nelle zone più orientali, invece, si sviluppava un sistema di tipo braided che scaricava in mare i depositi via via più sabbiosi che progradavano in un delta a basso gradiente, di cui oggi si può vedere la parte frontale (river dominated delta system) da Est verso Ovest come si evince dalle misure di paleocorrene. Correlando le diverse sezioni stratigrafiche osservate nel Bacino di Polizzi è possibile osservare che la successione è "Trasgressiva" con un profilo complessivamente fining upward. I due settori però, danno alcune informazioni di carattere "regressivo", poiché le sequenze di facies alluvionali sono considerate il risultato della progradazione di sistemi fluviali e/o di conoide alluvionale, indotta da un incremento progressivo dell'energia dei corsi d'acqua. Nella curva di variazione relativa del livello del mare simili condizioni si verificano durante lo sviluppo del lowstand systems tract. I caratteri deposizionali e le geometrie stratali descritte per l'associazione di facies di shoreface (profilo fining upward) sono concordanti con quelli tipicamente associati allo sviluppo del trasgressive system tract. Questo è testimoniato anche dalle geometria progradanti delle facies arenitiche sulle stesse facies arenitiche di delta front. La successione tardo miocenica nell'area di Resuttano si presenta con un trend coarsening- e shallowing upward nella parte bassa e nella restante parte con un trend fining deepining upward, caratterizzata dalla sovrapposizione verso l'alto di litofacies sabbiose e conglomeratiche, e lateralmente argillose e calcarenitiche, mostranti rapporti laterali eteropici. I depositi del Tortoniano sup. Messiniano inf. giacciono con rapporti di troncatura erosiva e discordanza sulle argille sabbiose della Fm. Castellana Sicula che affiorano in tutta la zona limitrofa l'abitato di Resuttano fino a Cozzo Terravecchia, le quali giacciono sulle unità tettoniche già strutturate della catena ed in particolare sulle Argille varicolori. I terreni più recenti sono rappresentati dalla biolititi a coralli della Fm. Baucina qui datata Tortoniano sup., a seguire il calcare di base che affiora a Cozzo Terravecchia e chiudono la successione i gessi messiniani All'interno della successione stratigrafica tardo miocenica sono state differenziate, procedendo da NE verso SW, litofacies costituite da ortoconglomerati con spessore di circa 10 m e geometria esterna tabulare, che si alternano a strati con spessore di circa 4 m a geometria esterna tabulare di arenarie e calcareniti con stratificazione incrociata ad alto angolo. Queste litofacies fanno parte di un contesto alluvionale di tipo braided canalizzato. Le strutture sedimentarie come pebble clusters e l'embricatura dei ciottoli più appiattiti hanno registrato una direzione media delle paleocorrenti da NW a SE Verso SW le litofacies sopra descritte passano a litofacies, arenitiche di taglia grossolana, che si alternano a sabbie siltose stratificate con spessori di 20 cm circa e presentano strutture sedimentarie di tipo stratificazione incrociata a basso angolo swaley (SCS) ed hummocky (HCS) ed hanno una diffusa presenza di bivalvi. Queste litofacies costituiscono una associazione di facies di fronte deltizia con pattern delle paleocorrenti concorde con quello misurato nei conglomerati. Tutti i litotipi a granulometria fine (peliti sabbiose, marne argillose, silt argillosi) con spessori decametrici, sono stati inseriti in un unica associazione di facies relativa ad un ambiente di prodelta affiorante nella porzione centrale e meridionale del settore di Resuttano. Da punto di vista strutturale il bacino di Resuttano è una sinclinale blanda e incompleta con asse che si sviluppa in direzione NE-SW. Il fianco occidentale risulta essere più inclinato rispetto a quello orientale. Gli elementi strutturali presenti nell'area sono faglie dirette con orientazione circa NW-SE e NE-SW che dislocano i terreni messiniani. Sono state riscontate faglie inverse con andamento circa E-W e NE-SW che a differenza di quelle dirette dislocano solo i terreni tortoniani. La regione è interessata da pieghe minori con orientazione NE-SW che interessa i conglomerati e SW-NE che interessa i gessi messiniani. Nell'area non sono state riconosciute geometrie stratali sintettoniche. La successione stratigrafica nel settore di Resuttano è riconducibile principalmente ad un sistema deposizionale di river delta system (Galloway 1988) che si sviluppava da NNE e NE verso SSW e SW. Questa area di sedimentazione era alimentata da corsi d'acqua effimeri, ad alta energia, che formavano ampie piane alluvionali non confinate attraversate da canali a morfologia braided. I depositi grossolani trasportati alla foce dai corsi d'acqua formavano un sistema deltizio di grandi dimensioni del tipo Shelf Type a bassa inclinazione. La presenza dei calcari di scogliera della Fm. Baucina, sovrapposti alle litofacies di fronte/prodelta nelle aree meridionali del bacino, è indicativa della tendenza "trasgressiva" nell'evoluzione complessiva del bacino tra il Tortoniano sup. ed il Messiniano inferiore. Tuttavia alcuni settori danno informazioni di carattere "regressivo" poiché la porzione bassa delle sequenze di facies alluvionali è considerato il risultato della progradazione di sistemi fluviali indotta da un incremento progressivo dell'energia dei corsi d'acqua. Nella curva di variazione del livello del mare simili condizioni si verificano durante lo sviluppo del lowstand systems tract LST. La parte superiore della successione costituita dalle arenarie con piccoli canali riempiti induce a pensare che dopo la prima fase di abbassamento del livello del mare e progradazione ci sia stata una fase di sollevamento, confermato anche dal livello di argille marine che si trova alla base del corpo conglomeratico geometricamente più alto e al tetto delle facies sabbiose. Questa parte di successione si sviluppa con un profilo "trasgressivo" con sequenze di facies a trend fining- e deepening upward. I caratteri deposizionali e le geometrie stratali descritte per l'associazione di facies braided (profilo fining upward) sono concordanti con quelli tipicamente associati allo sviluppo del trasgressive system tract TST . Nell'area di Catenanuova-Centuripe i depositi del Tortoniano sup. Messiniano inf. giacciono con rapporti di troncatura erosiva e discordanza sui terreni delle Unità Sicilidi e del Flysch Numidico e verso l'alto sono delimitati dalla serie evaporitica messiniana, dai calcari e calcari-marnosi dei Trubi del Pliocene inferiore e dalle calcareniti della Formazione di Centuripe. All'interno di questa sequenza si intercalano, a vari livelli stratigrafici, olistostromi di Argille Brecciate La successione si presenta con un trend Coarsening- Shallowing Upward. Nell'area essa è generalmente costituita da due litofacies eteropiche: una litofacies, più diffusa, costituita da marne argillose e da sabbie quarzose; l'altra, costituita da sabbie quarzose con grosse lenti di conglomerati a clasti da piatti a sferici, arrotondati, di natura sia sedimentaria che cristallina. Le litofacies conglomeratiche hanno uno spessore di circa 15m organizzati in livelli potenti circa 4 m con geometria esterna concava, gradati inversamente nella parte bassa e caotici nella parte alta in matrice arenitica di taglia medio- grossolana che si sono formati in un contesto di canali braided. Lungo la sinclinale di Centuripe-Leonforte e la valle del F. Dittàino prevale nettamente la facies marnoso sabbiosa che è costituita da alternanze di arenarie e argille marnose con abbondante quarzo e glauconite, interdigitate tra loro con spessore di 20 m circa con gradazione inversa. Le diverse facies presentano notevoli variazioni di spessore testimonianza di una varietà degli apporti detritici connessi all'articolazione dell'ambiente deposizionale che è riconducibile a piane alluvionali prodotte da corsi d'acqua caratterizzati da canali di tipo braided che scaricavano i sedimenti nella piana deltizia e che verso S creavano un ambiente di fronte deltizia/prodelta, che hanno registrato una direzione di paleoflusso da NE a SW. Nell'area tra Catenanuova e Centuripe il bacino ha la forma di un sinclinorio consviluppo E-W che non presenta un pattern deformativo sia fragile che duttile molto evidente. Si può notare che questo bacino è il risultato dell'avanzamento del fronte della catena che man mano che procedeva verso ESE e si smantellava, le misure giaciturali infatti confermano che questi bacini impostati sul dorso dei principali sovrascorrimenti immergono a N-NNW come mostrato dalle geometrie di crescita divergente verso N che hanno i livelli marnoso-sabbiosi grossolani sul Flysch Numidico. Sono state misurate assi di pieghe isoclinali con assi orientati NE-SW e pieghe coricate con asse NNE-SSW ed ENE-WSW a volte erose dalle successioni tardo mioceniche e che rispecchiano il senso di orientazione dei fronti. In questa area il sistema deposizionale, ricostruito in base alla distribuzione delle litofacies, è costituito da una piana alluvionale superiore attraversata da canali amalgamati che erano soggetti a piene frequenti (river delta system Galloway 1988) e una pianura alluvionale distale caratterizzata da canali distributari con carico sabbioso che via via lasciavano il posto ai processi marini verso la zona di fronte deltizio/prodelta. Correlando le diverse sezioni stratigrafiche osservate è possibile osservare che la successione tardo miocenica è "Regressiva" con un profilo complessivamente coarsening upward. La sequenza di facies alluvionale è considerato il risultato della progradazione di sistemi fluviali indotta da un incremento progressivo dell'energia dei corsi d'acqua. Una situazione simile può avvenire durante la regressione normale (Plint, 1988; Posamentier et al., 1992) Nella curva di variazione relativa del livello del mare simili condizioni si verificano durante lo sviluppo del lowstand systems tract LST. La presenza di una superficie di erosione probabilmente sub-aerea alla base dei depositi alluvionali induce a considerare che si tratti di un LST. Dai dati raccolti si può concludere che i depositi tardo miocenici in tutti i settori studiati poggiano con rapporto di discordanza angolare, oltre che sulle unità del Flysch Numidico e Sicilidi (Creataceo sup.-Eocene/Oligocene sup.-Miocene inf.), anche sui depositi appartenenti alla Fm. Castellana Sicula (Serravalliano sup. - Tortoniano inf.). La successione tardo miocenica nel settore di Polizzi e di Resuttano si è sviluppata all'interno di bacini sedimentari che si sono prima riempiti e poi deformati in risposta alla deformazione delle unità strutturalmente più basse dell'edificio tettonico siciliano in risposta ad un campo di stress contrazionale orientato circa NW-SE, nella parte alta del Tortoniano, quindi tali bacini sono pre-tettonici; formatisi tra il primo e il secondo evento della deformazione della catena (Avellone et al., 2010) mentre nell'area tra Centuripe e Catenanuova il bacino è sintettonico. La presenza di sequenze di facies regressive nella successione assume un carattere molto più importante spostandosi verso Est (attuale) dal Bacino di Polizzi verso il Bacino Catenanuova – Centuripe, che è l'unico ad essere regressivo. Il carattere confinato delle litofacies alluvionali e le litofacies di valle incisa si attenuano fino a scomparire spostandosi verso l'attuale Est partendo dal Bacino di Polizzi; spostandosi da Est verso Ovest si passa, da sistemi deposizionali di tipo wave dominated "shoreface" delta system (Bacino di Polizzi porzione occidentale) a sistemi deposizionali del tipo river-dominated delta system (Bacino di Polizzi porzione orientale, Bacino di Resuttano e Bacino tra Catenanuova e Centuripe), molto probabilmente legata alla fisiografia dell'area deposizionale su cui si impostavano. In base a quanto osservato nei singoli bacini le strutture da back thrust a vergenza settentrionale, hanno giocato un ruolo importante, dopo la deposizione delle successioni tardo mioceniche, per la deformazione dei bacini più occidentali. Per il bacino di Catenanuova-Centuripe la geometria divergente indica la possibile attività di un thrust nord-vergente contemporaneamente alla deposizione. ; The aim of this study is the analysis of Neogene syntectonic basins developed in different positions above the Sicilian-Maghrebian orogen. The study of the basins in convergent setting and their filling, is one of the fundamental tools for understanding the ways in which the progressive structuring of a chain area occurs. In this work, Thrust Top Basin and Piggy Back Basin lying on the Sicilian fold and thrust belt, filled up with Serravallian to Messinian sediments, have been analysed in order to relate them to a genetic and stratigraphic-structural point of view in the Sicilian foreland basin system context. The study has been carried out in Central-Western and eastern Sicily in particular in the Polizzi Generosa, Resuttano and Catenanuova–Centuripe areas. In these areas from Oligocene to Miocene the building of the Sicilian fold and thrust belt has been accompanied by the development of a peripheral foreland basin system which migrated toward the Foreland. In particular, during the late Miocene (late Tortonian to early Messinian) a siliciclastic sedimentary wedge above the moving thrust sheets have been deposited. These basins are characterized by sedimentation of continental to open marine clastics and shallow-marine carbonates sediments, above an often deformed moving substrate. The basis of the work is a detailed geological mapping, performed at a 1:10.000 scale. The distinction between the main bodies mapped in the field, has been made on the lithological, sedimentological, stratigraphic features (such as depositional trend, lateral and vertical relationships among facies associations), palaeocurrents measurement and study of the imbricated clasts and pebble clusters. During the geological surveys, the main tectonic structures, have been identified, measured and plotted by stereonet diagrams. Detailed sedimentological log in key areas for the definition of the stratigraphic sequence and the main depositional environments have been measured. The measurement of these sections is accompanied by a collection of 45 samples for micropaleontological analysis. For the classification of each sedimentary basin, reference is made to the classifications proposed by Allen & Allen (1993) and DeCelles & Giles (1996). The classification of Miall (1978-1985) has been used for the classification and codification of terrigenous deposit. The late Miocene succession in the Polizzi area, shows a fining and deepening upward trend characterized by overlapping of conglomeratic, sandy and clayey lithofacies showing lateral heteropic relations. In the Polizzi area the late Tortonian-early Messinian sediments, belonging to Terravecchia Fm. overlay, in unconformity, the sandstones and sandy clays of the Castellana Sicula Fm. (late Serravallian-early Tortonian) or above the structured tectonic units of the chain in particular on Varicolored Clay (Cretaceous-early Eocene).The upper limit of Terravecchia Fm. is found locally and is represented by a unconformity surface covered by carbonates reef deposit pertaining to Baucina Fm. (late Tortonian–early Messinian) or by the Gessarenites pertaining to Pasquasia Fm. (late Messinian). The sequence ends with the Trubi (Zanclean). Inside the upper Miocene stratigraphic succession two areas are differentiated with different facies associations: the NW sector shows, starting from the bottom, polymittic conglomerates with reddish sandy matrix, with carbonatic, siliceous, crystalline clasts, arranged in tabular units, with a total thickness of about 20 m, related to an alluvial fan, which registers an average trend of paleocurrent from NNE to SSW. Upward there are medium- to coarse-grained sandstones, whit external lens geometry and 25 m thick, which decreases towards the south, arranged in well defined, planar-shaped, up to 1m-thick strata characterized by large scale cross bedding in the early part, which pass upward at swaley (SCS) and hummocky (HCS) cross stratification. These lithofacies have been related to a wave-dominated shoreface delta system which recorded an average trend of paleocurrent like conglomerates from NNE to SSW. The sequence ends with silty clays and clayey silts with planktonic fauna related to an offshore environment. In the eastern part of Polizzi basin, conglomerates arranged into units of metric thickness with external concave upward geometry can be recognized from the bottom, made up of reddish conglomerates, massive or poorly stratified, related to a braided river channels environments that showed a mean paleocurrent trend ranging from ENE to WSW. To follow, there are medium-coarse calcarenites with large amount of bivalves, arranged in metric layers alterning to medium-fine sandstones, forming clinoforms dipping towards W with 20° gradient. These facies can be attributed to a delta front environment. From the structural point of view the Polizzi basin is a syncline with NNE-SSW axis. The western limb is more inclined than the eastern limb, the first 35° dipping toward ENE whilst the second 25 °dipping toward SW. In this area there is a normal faults system, NE to SW trending and there is not evidence of syn- tectonics deposition. The stratigraphic succession in the Polizzi area is due to two main depositional systems: the first related to fan delta system (Galloway 1988), evolving in wave-dominated shoreface delta system (Howell et al., 2003); the second related to a river delta system converged inside the basin from two different way: the first from the N- NNE to S-SSW the second from ENE to WSW, from a source characterized by the active erosion of the Kabilo-Calabrides crystalline units and calcalkaline rocks coming from Tyrrhenian volcanic arc. The depositional mechanism that affected the western part of sector (grain flow), leads us to consider that the streams have been developed in a relatively short stretch, maintaining a steep gradient until the mouth to the receiver basin. The late-medium shoreface deposits are instead formed when there are sea level rise that changes the type of sedimentation, indeed starting to accumulate well sorted medium to coarse sands, with a large vertical development, that reduce their thickness laterally toward the basin and increase toward the land (river-dominated shoreface delta system). In the easternmost areas, instead, a braided river system has developed discharging sediments in the sea, gradually more sandy, advancing in a low-gradient delta, (river dominated delta system) from an easterly direction as shown by paleocurrent measures. By linking the different stratigraphic sections observed in the Polizzi Basin it is possible to see that the succession is "Transgressive" with a trend fining upward. The two areas, however, show a "regressive" trend because the alluvial facies are considered to be the result of river systems and /or alluvial fan progradation, induced by a progressive increase in the energy rivers. In the curve of relative sea level change these conditions occur during the development of lowstand systems tract. The characters and the depositional geometries described for the shoreface facies association (fining upward trend) are concordant with those typically associated with the development of the transgressive systems tract. The upper Miocene succession in the Resuttano area develops with a trend-coarsening and shallowing upward, in the lower part, and in the remaining part with a trend fining-deepining upward, characterized by the overlapping of sandy conglomeratic lithofacies and laterally clayey and calcareous, showing heteropic relations. In the Resuttano area the upper Tortonian- lower Messinian sediments, belonging to Terravecchia Fm. overlay in unconformity the sandstones and sandy clays of the Castellana Sicula Fm. (late Serravallian-early Tortonian) cropping out from Resuttano village to Cozzo Terravecchia or above the structured tectonic units of the chain in particular on Varicolored Clay (Cretaceous-early Eocene). The upper limit of Terravecchia Fm. is represented by an unconformity covered by carbonates reef deposits pertaining to Baucina Fm. (late Tortonian in this area) or by the "Calcare di Base" (late Messinian). The sequence ends with the Messinian evaporitic deposit. Inside the upper Miocene stratigraphic succession are differentiated, from NE to SW, ortoconglomeratic lithofacies, 10 m thick and tabular external shape, which alternate layers with 4m thickness of sandstone and calcarenite with high-angle cross-bedding with tabular external shape. These lithofacies are typical of braided river. The sedimentary structures like pebble clusters and imbricated pebbles recorded an average trend of paleocurrent from NW to SE. Towards the SW the lithofacies described above is made up of medium-to coarse sandstones, with external lens geometry and 20 m thickness, arranged in well defined, planar-shaped, up to 1m-thick strata characterized by large scale through cross bedding in the early part, which pass upward at, swaley (SCS) and hummocky (HCS) cross stratification with abundant bivalves. These lithofacies are related to a delta front which records an average trend of paleocurrent from NW to SE. All fine grain litotypes (mudstones, sandy clay and silt clay) with a decametric thickness, are included in a single facies association relating to a prodelta environment, cropping out in the central and southern Resuttano area. From the structural point of view the Resuttano basin is an incomplete syncline with NE-SW axis trend. The western limb is more inclined than the eastern limb. The structural elements are normal faults with NW-SE and NE-SW trend that displace the Messinian deposits and reverse fault with E-W and NE-SW trend that displace the Tortonian deposits. There is no trace of syn- tectonics deposition. The stratigraphic succession in the Resuttano area consists mainly of a depositional river delta system (Galloway, 1988) developed from SSW to NNE and from NE to SW. This area of sedimentation was fed by high-energy ephemeral streams, forming large alluvial plains crossed by not confined braided channels. The coarse deposits transported by rivers have formed a large Shelf Type delta system with low gradient. Some sector of this area, however, show a "regressive" trend because the alluvial facies are considered to be the result of river progradation systems, induced by a progressive increase in the energy rivers. In the curve of relative sea level change these conditions occur during the development of lowstand systems tract. The late part of the sequence constituted by sandstones with small channels fillings, suggests that after the first phase of lowering sea level and progradation, there has been an uplift phase, also confirmed by the level of marine clay located at the base of the conglomeratic body geometrically higher being the roof of the sandy facies. This part of the succession is developed with a "transgressive" trend with fining and deepening upward facies sequences. The stratal pattern described above for the braided facies (fining upward trend) is typically associated with the development of the transgressive systems tract. In the Catenanuova-Centuripe area the upper Tortonian- lower Messinian sediments, belonging to Terravecchia Fm. overlay in unconformity the Sicilide Unit and Numidian Flysch; the upper limit is represented by an unconformity surface covered by carbonates reef deposit pertaining to Messinian deposits, marly limestones and limestones of the Early Pliocene (Trubi) and calcarenitic facies pertaining to Centuripe Formation. Within this sequence olistostromes of "Argille Brecciate" are intercalated at various stratigraphic levels. The sequence shows a coarsening -shallowing upward trend. This area is generally constituted by two heteropic lithofacies: the one's, most widespread, consists of clayey marl and quartz sands, and the other is constituted by quartz sands with thick lenses of conglomerates with dishes spherical clasts, rounded, of sedimentary and crystalline nature. The conglomeratic lithofacies are 15m thick organized in layers (4 m thick) with external concave shape, inversely graded in the lower part, and chaotic in the upper part made up of medium to coarse sandy matrix which were formed in a braided channels environment. Along the Centuripe-Enna syncline and the Dittàino river valley prevails the sandy marl facies made up of alternating sandstones and marly clays with abundant quartz and glauconite, 20 m thick and inverse gradation. The different facies show significant variations in thickness that reflect a high diversity in sedimentary supply, due to the articulation of depositional environment which was made by floodplains produced by braided channels that discharged the sediments into the delta plain and created an delta/prodelta environment towards S, which recorded a paleocurrent from NE to SW. The basin in the area between Catenanuova Centuripe has a synform shape with EW trend and does not present a deformation brittle or ductile pattern very evident. It can be seen that this basin is the result of the moving chain front towards ESE, structural data confirm that these basins, set on the back of the main thrusts dipping toward N-NW, as shown by the growth geometry diverging towards N. Isoclinal folds with NE-SW axes and folds with NNE-SSW and ENE-WSW horizontal axis have been measured, which reflect the sense of orientation of chain fronts, sometimes eroded by the upper Miocene sequences. In this area, the depositional system, reconstructed according to the distribution of lithofacies, is made up of upper alluvial plain crossed by amalgamated channels, subject to frequent floods (river delta system, Galloway, 1988) and a distal alluvial plain characterized by distributary channels with coarse load sandy that gradually gave way to marine processes towards the area of the delta front/prodelta. By correlating the stratigraphic sections it is possible to see that the upper Miocene succession is "regressive" with a coarsening upward trend. The sequence of alluvial facies is considered to be the result of the fluvial systems progradation, induced by a progressive increase in the rivers energy. A similar situation may occur during the normal regression (Plint, 1988; Posamentier et al., 1992). In the curve of relative sea level change these conditions occur during the development of lowstand systems tract, as confirmed by the presence of sub-aerial erosion, probably, at the base of the alluvial deposits. From the data collected it can be concluded that the upper Miocene deposits in all areas studied lie, with angular unconformity relationship, above the Numidian Flysch and Sicilide Unit (late Cretaceous-Eocene/Oligocene–late Miocene) and above deposits belonging to the. Castellana Sicula Fm. (late Serravallian -early Tortonian). The Polizzi and Resuttano basins was filled and then deformed in response to deformation of the lowest structurally tectonic units of the Sicilian fold and thrust belt in response to a NW- SE contractional stress, during the late Tortonian, therefore these basins are pre- tectonic; formed between the first and the second event of the chain deformation (Avellone et al., 2010) while in the area between Centuripe and Catenanuova the basin is syntectonic. The presence of regressive facies sequences is prevalent, moving actual eastward, from Polizzi, to Catenanuova–Centuripe; the latter is the only regressive one. In the Western sector the Miocene succession is characterized by an incised valley, instead in the eastern sector it is characterized by a delta plain system. Moving from west to east the depositional systems are different, switching from wave-dominated delta systems and shoreface delta system (Western sector of Polizzi basin), to dominated delta system (Eastern sector of Polizzi basin, Resuttano basin and Catenanuova- Centuripe basin) probably related to the different physiography areas. According to what has been observed in individual basins the north-verging back thrust played an important role, after the deposition of the upper Miocene succession, for the deformation of the western basins. For the Catenanuova-Centuripe basin the divergent geometry indicates the possible activities of a north -verging thrust simultaneously with deposition.

Genanvendelse af affald har høj prioritet i EU og har som formål at bevare ressourcers funktionalitet i antroposfæren og dermed reducere presset på miljøet samt højne forsyningssikkerheden. På trods af et historisk fokus på forbrænding, er man i Danmark begyndt at fokusere mere på genanvendelse af ressourcer. Samtidig med, at vi erkender den store fremgang i det sidste årti, er der stadig et stort potentiale for forbedring, når det kommer til genanvendelse af affald fra husholdninger. Her anses forurening for at være en af de største udfordringer, da forurening kan repræsentere en både teknisk, sikkerhedsmæssig og markedsrelateret barriere for genanvendelse som i sidste ende påvirker kvaliteten af det genanvendte produkt, det vil sige evnen til at bevare materialeegenskaber svarende til dem i virgine ressourcer. Nogle materialefraktioner er sværere at genanvende end andre. Affaldstræ, plastikaffald og småt brændbart affald repræsenterer fraktioner hvor karakteriseringsstudier er nødvendige for at estimere niveauet af forurening og hvor alternativ affaldshåndtering kan forbedre genanvendelse. Med stigende mængder af affald der genanvendes, er der en general interesse i at maksimere virkningen og effektiviteten af genanvendelsesprocesser samtidig med at rene og ufarlige genanvendelseskredsløb sikres. Derudover er det vigtigt at genanvendelige ressourcer ikke ender i affaldsstrømme der ikke sendes til genanvendelse. Formålet med denne PhD afhandling er, at vurdere ressourcekvaliteten af affaldstræ, plastikaffald og småt brændbart affald indsamlet via genbrugsstationer, samt koble kvaliteten af de udvalgte fraktioner til genanvendeligheden og potentielle miljømæssige gevinster. Genbrugsstationer er bemandede indsamlingssteder hvor affaldet bliver sorteret i 30-40 fraktioner. Genbrugsstationer er det eneste sted i Danmark hvor affaldstræ og småt brændbart affald indsamles og det er her omkring 40% af det kildesorterede plastikaffald indsamles. Prøver af affaldstræ blev udtaget fra tre genbrugsstationer og karakteriseret i forhold til produktanvendelse, kvalitet samt tilstedeværelse af materielle og kemiske urenheder. Affaldstræ bestod hovedsageligt af bygge-relaterede produkter samt møbler, som indeholdte den største andel af henholdsvis materielle og kemiske urenheder. Emballageaffaldstræ var den reneste produktanvendelse, men repræsenterede kun en lille andel af den samlede affaldsmængde. Indholdet af kemiske stoffer, såsom As, Cr, Pb and PAH'er var markant højere i lavkvalitets træaffald (dvs. træaffald behandlet til udendørs brug og træfiberplader). Håndteringen af affaldstræ kan forbedres ved indsamle at lavkvalitetstræ separat og sende det til forbrænding. Sådanne alternative affaldshåndteringsmuligheder blev vurderet ved brug af dynamisk livscyklusvurdering (LCA). Resultaterne viste, at besparelserne i global opvarmningspotentialer (GWP) kan øges 5-58 gange, når genanvendelsesprocesserne kun håndterer højkvalitets træaffald. I sådanne tilfælde fortrækkes det, hvis træaffaldet genanvendes som gulvbrædder eller isolationspaneler, da dette vil resultere i markante GWP besparelser pga. erstatning af energiintensive produkter eller produkter med en lang levetid. Prøver af hårdt plastikaffald, plastikfilmaffald og PVC affald blev udtaget fra tre genbrugsstationer og karakteriseret i forhold til produktanvendelse, kvalitet, polymertype, tilstedeværelse af materielle urenheder og farve. Materialesammensætningen varierede meget imellem de tre affaldsfraktioner: Hvor plastikfilm hovedsageligt bestod af ikke-madrelateret emballage lavet af LDPE, bestod PVC affaldet udelukkede af byggerelaterede produkter. Det hårde plastikaffald bestod til gengæld af en bred vifte af produktanvendelser og polymere og repræsenterede dermed en meget forskelligartet affaldsstrøm. Produktanvendelserne med lav kvalitet (ikke-madrelateret emballage, bildele, byggerelaterede produkter og andet) indeholdte større andele af dele der ikke var lavet af plastik, produkter lavet af flere polymere og farvede produkter, sammenlignet med produktanvendelse med høj kvalitet (mademballage). Via materialestrømsanalyse (MFA) blev det vist, at genanvendelse af lavkvalitetsanvendelserne i et typisk genanvendelsesanlæg derfor førte til materielle tab 117% større end genanvendelse af højkvalitetsanvendelserne. Eftersom virkningsfuld fjernelse af urenheder påvirker effektiviteten af genanvendelsesprocessen samt kvaliteten af det genanvendte materiale, blev tre genanvendelsesscenarier vurderet i forhold til økonomiske og miljømæssige påvirkninger. Resultaterne viste at mekanisk genanvendelse med en effektiv fjernelse af urenheder kan fører til store økonomiske og miljørelaterede besparelser, da der kan produceres genanvendt plastik af høj kvalitet. Prøver af småt brændbart affald blev udtaget fra otte genbrugsstationer og blev karakteriseret i forhold til materialefraktion, produktanvendelse og, i tilfælde af genanvendelige materialer, andre egenskaber der blev anset som relevante i bestemmelsen af genanvendeligheden af affaldet. Egentlige brændbare materialer udgjorde i gennemsnit 38% af affaldet, mens 54% bestod af genanvendelige materialer, primært plastik, tekstiler, papir og træaffald. Hvis de genanvendelige materialer, der på nuværende tidspunkt forbrændes, i stedet blev sendt til genanvendelse, kan den nationale genanvendelsesrate (beregnet efter tab i forbindelse med sortering) stige med 16%. Derudover kan genanvendelse af de genanvendelige materialer føre til en besparelse på 27 kg CO2-eq/indbygger/år, hvilket svarer til en stigning på 30% sammenlignet med de nuværende nationale besparelser fra genanvendelse af de samme genanvendelige fraktioner. Kvaliteten er essentiel hele vejen gennem genanvendelseskæden relateret til både affaldstræ, plastikaffald og småt brændbart affald, hvilket peger i retning af at "bedre genanvendelse" er vigtigere end "mere genanvendelse" i et cirkulært økonomi perspektiv. ; Recycling of waste has high priority in the European Union. The aim is to keep the functionality of resources within the anthroposphere, thereby reducing the pressure on the environment and increasing the security of supply. Despite an historical focus on energy recovery, Denmark is transitioning its waste management system towards increasing recycling of resources. However, while acknowledging the large achievements in the last decades, recycling of household waste still holds large room for improvements. Contamination is considered one of the main issues as it may act as technical, safety, and market barrier to recycling, ultimately affecting the quality of the recycled products, i.e. the ability to maintain the material properties comparable with virgin resources. Some material fractions exhibit larger recycling difficulties than others. Wood waste, plastic waste and small combustible waste are waste fractions for which characterisation studies are needed to estimate contamination levels and for which alternative management solutions may enhance current recycling. Indeed, with increasing amounts of waste being recycled, there is a general interest to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of recycling processes while ensuring clean and safe recycling loops. Similarly, it is necessary to ensure that recyclable resources do not enter waste streams not destined for recycling. The goal of this PhD thesis was to assess the resource quality of wood waste, plastic waste and small combustible waste collected at recycling centres and link this to the recyclability of the selected waste fractions as well as the potential contribution to environmental savings. Recycling centres are manned collection points where the waste is sorted typically into 30-40 material fractions. In Denmark, recycling centres represent the only collection method for wood waste and small combustible waste, and receives around 40% of source-separated plastic waste.Wood waste was sampled from three recycling centres and characterised according to product application, quality, and presence of material and chemical impurities. Overall, wood waste mainly comprised Construction & Demolition and Furniture applications, which showed the highest contamination by material impurities and chemical impurities, respectively. Packaging wood waste was the cleanest product application, although it contributed with a minor share to the overall wood waste composition. In particular, Low quality grade wood waste (i.e. wood waste treated for e.g. outdoor use and fibreboards) exhibited dramatically higher content of chemical elements such as As, Cr, Pb and PAHs. Improving the management of wood waste may entail routing the Low quality grade to energy recovery through separate collection. Such alternative management system was tested by dynamic life cycle assessment (LCA). The results illustrated that global warming potential (GWP) savings could be increased by 5-58 times when recycling activities target only the upper qualities of wood waste. In this case, wood waste should preferably be recycled to floorboards or insulation boards, which can ensure substantial GWP savings due to substitution of long-lived or energy-intensive product.Hard plastic waste, plastic film waste and PVC waste were sampled from three recycling centres and characterised in terms of product applications, quality, polymer, presence of material impurities and colour. The material composition appeared widely diversified across the three waste fractions: while plastic film waste mostly comprised Non-food packaging made of LDPE, PVC waste included only Construction applications. Conversely, hard plastic waste consisted of a wide number of applications and polymers, making it a very heterogeneous fraction to recycle. The Low quality applications (Non-food packaging, Automotive, Construction and Other) were characterised by a larger presence of non-plastic parts, multi-polymer products and coloured products than High quality applications (Food packaging). Consequently, the material losses in case of recycling Low quality plastic in a typical European mechanical recycling plant were 117% larger than recycling High quality plastic waste, as demonstrated by material flow analysis. As the effective removal of impurities influences the efficiency of recycling processes and the quality of the recyclates, three recycling scenarios were evaluated in terms of environmental and financial impacts. The results indicate that a mechanical recycling technology efficiently removing impurities can lead to large environmental savings and cost-effectiveness, as it produces recycled plastics characterised by high quality. Small combustible waste was sampled from eight recycling centres and characterised with respect to material fraction, product application and, in the case of recyclable materials, other properties relevant when addressing the recyclability of the waste. Actual combustible materials constituted on average 38% of the waste, while 54% was identified as Recyclable materials, mainly in the form of plastics, textiles, paper and wood waste. If these Recyclable materials, currently incinerated as small combustible waste, were redirected to recycling processes, the national household recycling rate for glass, paper, cardboard, metals, plastics, wood, WEEE, textiles and garden waste (calculated after sorting losses) could be increased by 16%. Furthermore, the recycling of the Recyclable materials would enable save 27 kg CO2-eq/capita/year, representing an increase in avoided emissions of 30% compared to the current national savings from recycling the same recyclable fractions. The role of quality was demonstrated to be crucial throughout the recycling chain of wood waste, plastic waste and small combustible waste, indicating that from a circular economy perspective "better recycling" may be preferable over "more recycling".
This report presents a comparative analysis of the food legislation requirements of the European Union (EU) and the Customs Union. Its purpose is to guide food business operators and public authorities engaged in reforming national food safety systems in the peculiarities of EU and Customs Union legal requirements and help them evaluate their capabilities in meeting those requirements. This report supports the International Finance Corporation's efforts to facilitate the opening of new markets for the producers in emerging markets. This report compares the most critical aspects of food legislation of the EU and the Customs Union, such as: requirements and arrangements of food control; requirements to food quality; requirements to food labeling; food and food-related articles and materials that require special authorization; and laboratory control and food safety criteria. Ensuring food safety and consumer protection increasingly occupy the agendas of governments, which are looking to expand their trade networks. Likewise, food businesses interested in widening their export range need to understand quality and safety requirements in their target markets. This report offers unique, up-to-date information on the similarities and differences of the food safety requirements of the EU and Customs Union, with detailed assessments of the regulations that govern food safety.
The thesis is focused on solving an important theoretical and applied problem of substantiating theoretical and methodological grounds for the international economic policy through identifying the patterns and novel forms of protectionism, and substantiating the integral scientific concept of neo-protectionism. The objective of the thesis is to develop theoretical and methodological grounds of protectionism, and to create, on this basis, an integral scientific concept of neo-protectionism in the international economic policy in the context of liberalizing global economic relations, to formulate an integrative conceptual approach to the application of neoprotectionism in the economic development policy of Ukraine.The interdisciplinary multi-criteria approach to defining protectionism from the perspective of ideology, idea, policy and practice is proposed, which allowed for investigating the transformation of its manifestation forms in the process of evolutionary development of the international economic relations. The international economic policy was studied as an unbroken continuum of the economic and political practice of the states by methodological tools of the international political economy. It is found that from the international political economy perspective a choice between protectionism and free trade as the principles for implementation of the economic policy of the state is conditional on the pattern of global economic processes with their immanent contradictions, the specifics of regionalization and integration processes, and the global economy tendencies. The choice between the government's commitment to the policy of minimizing costs and maximizing benefits, and the character of its participation in the international economic cooperation is determined by the pattern of international trade and international movement of production factors, on the one hand, and determine it, on the other hand. It is demonstrated that the choice of protectionist policy, as follows from the international political economy discourse, is conditional on: operation of public and non-public economic entities; effects from the implementation of national economic policies; the coordinating equilibrium between national, regional, interstate and global level of decision making; the existing mechanisms for global control of international economic interests.Interpretation of the international economic policy by the methodological tools of the international political economy allowed to identify the endogenous character of the external economic policy (recognizing thereby the protectionism as a policy that can be potentially demanded by the public (represented by voters), business people (represented by lobbying groups), government (which implements economic interests of the nation), and to reveal the variety of entities involved in the international economic relations, which have exogenous impact on the policy implemented by national governments (by signing trade agreements), limiting thereby the conditions for the protectionist policy implementation.Theoretical modeling of protectionist intentions in the international economic cooperation on the basis of the interdisciplinary economic-political approach laid grounds for rethinking the conclusions made by the classical and neo-classical theories of trade and the theory of correlation of production factors about the unconditional impact of the free trade principle on the population's welfare as a derivative from the function of consumption. The analysis of two groups of protectionism theories – the ones based on studies of the structure of protectionism within the countries, and the ones investigating the level of protectionism between countries in time – demonstrated that the voters' welfare or the so called "win of the majority" are the determinants of protectionist initiatives. The factors underlying the voters' demand for protectionism are highlighted: welfare measured by economic as well as social and ecological effects; social solidarity; social protection; commitment to social values; commitment to national identity; adherence to ideological principles of the policy of economic nationalism; mitigation of effects from the information asymmetry of rational voters. The pressure by lobbying groups on the choice of the principle underlying government's implementation of the external trade policy is explained by: phase of business cycle; hysteresis effects in the economy; the level of competitiveness in export-oriented sectors; the extent of import dependence in the economy; distributive and allocation effects of the economic activities.The author's concept of neo-protectionism in the international economic policy is substantiated, which is defined as a complex hierarchical set of principles, rules and instruments of protective, stimulating, discriminative and restrictive nature, implemented at mega-, meta-, macro- and mesolevel of the international economic policy. A multilevel typology of neo-protectionism is proposed, based on specific features: the level of international economic policy, generating entities, manifestation environment, instruments for the international economic policy with indirect impact. It was used to identify its essential characteristics in all the forms of manifestation of the international economic relations; to define the functions of neo-protectionism by its type (ideological, institutional, integrative, conjuncture-formative, factor-based, infrastructural, monetary, currency-based, financial, debt-based, fiscal) and sub-types (ecological, migrational, sectoral, based on primary commodities, resource-based, energy-based, technological, innovative, informational, digital, investment-based). This allowed to identify the purpose for applications of neo-protectionism at mega-, meta-, macro- and mesolevel of the international economic policy, and to visualize the degree of its functional and structural complexity and dimensionality as a phenomenon and a process, which realization varies depending on the entities applying it, the objects for which it is applying, its coverage and objectives.A theoretical and methodological approach for macro- and meta-level assessment of the international economic policy based on neo-protectionist instruments is developed. Its application enabled for outlining and describing the policy of economic nationalism (which motivation basis is formed by domination, expansion, domestic extended reproduction by creating new comparative advantages), and the policy of economic patriotism (which motivation basis is formed by rehabilitation of economic growth, curbing of the expansionary potentials of partner countries, creating new comparative advantages and achieving sustainable development), with distinguishing its sub-types: supranational, local, liberal, and conservative. The distinctive features of neo-mercantilist policy are defined, and the ways of its implementation are revealed. It is shown that the neo-mercantilist policy generates anti-competitive market distortions affecting not only foreign producers, but domestic ones as well, considering the scales of the latter involvement in global value added chains, and causes market imbalances resulting from the unfair competition. Theoretical and methodological grounds for studies of the international economic policy are improved, which is based on the principles of stability, hierarchy, adaptability, complementarity, subsidiarity, and balance, by including legitimation as a novel principle of the international economic policy implementation, which involves a combination of regulatory, de-regulatory and re-regulatory mechanisms of impact on the international economic relations, and results in the implementation of the institutional norms and rules that directly or indirectly ignore/deny/distort the agreements that exist at international/regional level, lead to anti-competitive market distortions, trade and investment imbalances, and open up opportunities for gaining new comparative advantages. Self-legitimation is defined as an attributive characteristic of the entities involved in the international economic policy at mega-, meta- and macrolevel, which enables for implementation of the neoprotectionist policy.The thesis substantiates multiple combinations in implementation of neoprotectionism through multidirectional manifestations of deregulation-regulation, integration-disintegration, coordination-de-coordination, expansion-fragmentation, balancing-unbalancing, stimulation-restriction, protection-discrimination, and the reasonability of neo-protectionist measures in the economic development policy of Ukraine.The structural components of the global economy as an environment for neoprotectionist manifestations are revealed: production and investment activities, research and development, international monetary relations. The functions of neoprotectionism within the international economic system are revealed: allocative (sectoral neo-protectionism; infrastructural neo-protectionism; factor-based neoprotectionism; integrative neo-protectionism; financial neo-protectionism; investment-based neo-protectionism); distributive (institutional neo-protectionism; fiscal neoprotectionism; financial neo-protectionism; investment-based neo-protectionism); stabilizing (monetary neo-protectionism; currency-based neo-protectionism; debtbased neo-protectionism; financial neo-protectionism; investment-based neoprotectionism). The instruments for the international economic policy with indirect impact, enabling for the implementation of neo-protectionism, are outlined as follows: fiscal, monetary and currency policies.Modeling of clustering processes in the Ukrainian economy by use of Boston matrix and Leontiev model enabled to identify four productive clusters: innovation (manufacturing of computers, electronic and optical devices; telecommunications; computer software design, consulting and information services; professional, R&D activities; information and telecommunications; printing and publishing activities; production of movies and video-films); auxiliary (supply of electricity, gas, steam and conditioned air; wholesale and retail trade; repair of automobiles and motorcycles; hotels and restaurants; financial and insurance activities); traditional (agriculture, forestry and fishing; mining and quarrying; manufacturing industries; construction; transport; storage; postal and courier services; production chemical substances and chemical products; car making and mechanical engineering; light industry), and to define the industries driving the economic growth, generating net income and having direct impact on the rates of GDP growth.A methodological approach to the assessment of the effectiveness of tax preferences and other preferences provided for residents of industrial parks is proposed, which, contrary to the existing approaches, uses applied models of the overall equilibrium for identifying the industries that have to be priority recipients of government assistance through the network of industrial parks, in the context of the intensified and leading development of the country by key macroeconomic indicators, and for quantitative optimization of the preferences considering the stable revenues of the public budget, which enabled to substantiate the nomenclature of efficient stimuli for residents of industrial parks, to achieve the objectives: to make the national industry move up in the value added chains and create a closed-loop innovation cycle in Ukraine.The system of tax and other preferences for residents of industrial parks, intended to recover and further the innovation-driven development of the production and export capacities of the Ukrainian economy, is assessed, which enabled to adapt international experiences of using the mechanism of free economic zones to the domestic practice, to create a favorable investment environment for high tech productions in the national economy for the period required by them to form competitive advantages. ; У дисертації розроблено цілісну наукову концепцію неопротекціонізму у міжнародній економічній політиці в умовах лібералізації світогосподарських зв'язків і на цій основі сформульовано інтегративний концептуальний підхід застосування неопротекціонізму в політиці економічного розвитку України.В роботі запропоновано міждисциплінарний багатокатегоріальний підхід до визначення протекціонізму з позицій ідеології, ідеї, політики і практики, що дозволило дослідити трансформацію форм його прояву в процесі еволюційного розвитку міжнародних економічних відносин. Міжнародна економічна політика досліджувалась в нерозривній єдності економічної й політичної практики держав методологічним інструментарієм міжнародної політичної економії. Встановлено, що з позиції міжнародної політичної економії, на вибір між протекціонізмом чи вільною торгівлею як принципами реалізації економічної політики держави впливають стан світогосподарських процесів з іманентними їм суперечностями, особливості протікання процесів регіоналізації та інтеграції і тенденції розвитку світової економіки. Вибір між сповідуванням державою політики мінімізації втрат чи максимізації вигод, а також характер її участі в міжнародному економічному співробітництві, з одного боку, детермінується станом міжнародної торгівлі і міжнародного переміщення факторів виробництва, а, з іншого боку, визначає його. Виявлено, що на вибір протекціоністської політики, згідно теоретичного дискурсу міжнародної політичної економії, впливають: діяльність державних і недержавних суб'єктів господарювання; ефекти від реалізації національних економічних політик; стан координаційної рівноваги між національним, регіональним, міждержавним і глобальним рівнями прийняття рішень; формування механізмів глобального управління міжнародними економічними процесами.Інтерпретація міжнародної економічної політики методологічним інструментарієм міжнародної політичної економії дозволила виявити ендогенний характер зовнішньоекономічної політики (тим самим визнаючи протекціонізм як політику, на яку потенційно може формувати запит суспільство (в особі виборців), підприємці (в особі лобістських груп), уряд (що реалізує економічні інтереси держави)) й водночас ідентифікувати різноманіття суб'єктів міжнародних економічних відносин, що чинять екзогенний вплив на реалізацію політики національних держав (шляхом підписання торговельних угод), тим самим обмежуючи умови для реалізації протекціоністської політики.Теоретичне моделювання протекціоністських інтенцій в міжнародному економічному співробітництві на основі міждисциплінарного економікополітичного підходу дало підстави до переосмислення висновків класичної, неокласичної теорій торгівлі і теорії співвідношення факторів виробництва про беззастережний вплив принципу вільної торгівлі на «добробут» населення як похідну від функції споживання. Аналіз двох груп теорій протекціонізму – як тих, що базуються на дослідженні структури протекціонізму в межах країн, так і тих, що досліджують рівень протекціонізму між країнами в часі – дозволив встановити, що добробут виборців або т.зв. виграш більшості лежить в основі ініціювання вжиття протекціоністських заходів. Встановлено, що з боку населення затребуваність на протекціонізм може бути продиктована запитом на: добробут, що вимірюється, окрім економічних, ще й соціальними і екологічними ефектами; соціальну солідарність; соціальне забезпечення; відстоювання соціальних цінностей; відстоювання національної ідентичності; сповідування ідеологічних принципів політики економічного націоналізму; нівелювання ефектів інформаційної асиметрії раціональних виборців. З боку лобістських груп тиск на вибір принципу реалізації зовнішньоторговельної політики урядом пояснюється: стадією бізнес-циклу; ефектами гістерезису в економіці; рівнем конкурентоспроможності експортоорієнтованих секторів; ступенем імпортозалежності економіки; дистрибутивними й алокаційними ефектами економічної діяльності.В дисертації обґрунтовано авторську концепцію неопротекціонізму в міжнародній економічній політиці, під яким розуміється складноієрархічна сукупність принципів, правил та інструментів захисного, стимулюючого, дискримінаційного та рестрикційного характеру, що реалізується на мега-, мета-, макро- і мезорівнях міжнародної економічної політики. В дослідженні запропоновано багаторівневу типологізацію неопротекціонізму за конкретними ознаками, до яких віднесено: рівень міжнародної економічної політики, суб'єкти генерування, середовище прояву, інструменти міжнародної економічної політики непрямого впливу, що дало змогу виявити його сутнісні характеристики у всіх формах прояву міжнародних економічних відносин; встановити функції, що виконує неопротекціонізм залежно від його типів (ідеологічний, інституційний, інтеграційний, кон'юнктуро-формуючий/ галузевий, факторний, інфраструктурний, монетарний, валютний, фінансовий, борговий, фіскальний) та підтипів (екологічний, міграційний, сировинний, ресурсний, енергетичний, технологічний, інноваційний, інформаційний, цифровий, інвестиційний). Це дозволило ідентифікувати мету застосування неопротекціонізму на мега-, мета-, макро- і мезорівні міжнародної економічної політики, та візуалізувати ступінь його функціонально-структурної складності та розмірності як явища та процесу, реалізація якого видозмінюється залежно від суб'єктів, які його застосовують, об'єктів, на які розповсюджується його дія, простору застосування, цілей здійснення.В роботі розроблено науково-методичний підхід оцінювання міжнародної економічної політики на макро- і мета- рівнях, зумовленої використанням інструментарію неопротекціонізму, застосування якого дозволило виокремити і охарактеризувати політику економічного націоналізму (мотиваційною основою якого виступають домінування, експансія, забезпечення національного розширеного відтворення шляхом створення нових порівняльних переваг) і політику економічного патріотизму (мотиваційною основою якого виступають відновлення економічного зростання, стримування експансійного потенціалу країн-партнерів, створення нових порівняльних переваг й досягнення сталого розвитку) з виокремленням таких його підтипів, як наднаціональний, локальний, ліберальний, консервативний. Визначено характерні риси політики неомеркантилізму і встановлено способи, в які вона може реалізовуватись. Встановлено, що політика неомеркантилізму продукує антиконкурентні ринкові викривлення, які зачіпають не лише іноземних виробників, але й національних, беручи до уваги ступінь залучення останніх до глобальних ланцюгів створення доданої вартості, і призводить до ринкових дисбалансів внаслідок несправедливої конкуренції.Удосконалено теоретико-методологічні засади дослідження міжнародної економічної політики, що визначається принципами стійкості, ієрархічності, адаптивності, комплементарності, субсидіарності та збалансованості, шляхом включення легітимації як новітнього принципу здійснення міжнародної економічної політики, що передбачає комбінування регуляторних, дерегуляторних та ререгуляторних механізмів впливу на міжнародні економічні відносини, результується в імплементації таких інституційних норм і правил, які прямо чи опосередковано нехтують/спростовують/викривлюють домовленості, що існують на міжнародному/регіональному рівні, призводять до антиконкурентних ринкових деформацій, торговельних й інвестиційних дисбалансів та уможливлюють отримання нових порівняльних переваг. Самолегітимація визначена як атрибутивна характеристика суб'єктів міжнародної економічної політики на мега-, мета- і макрорівнях, що уможливлює реалізацію політики неопротекціонізму.В дисертаційному дослідженні обґрунтовано множинні комбінації реалізації неопротекціонізму через різноспрямовані прояви дерегуляціїрегуляції, інтеграції-дезінтеграції, координації-декоординації, розширенняфрагментації, врівноваження-розбалансування, стимулювання-обмеження, захисту-дискримінації та доцільність застосування неопротекціонізму в політиці економічного розвитку України.Встановлено, що структурними елементами світового господарства як середовища прояву неопротекціонізму виступають: виробничо-інвестиційна сфера діяльності, науково-технічна сфера, сфера міжнародної торгівлі, міжнародні валютно-фінансові та кредитні відносини. Виявлено, що неопротекціонізм в межах міжнародної економічної системи виконує наступні функції: регуляторну (ідеологіний неопротекціонізм; інтеграційний неопротекціонізм; факторний неопротекціонізм; монетарний неопротекціонізм; валютний неопротекціонізм; борговий неопротекціонізм; фінансовий неопротекціонізм; інвестиційний неопротекціонізм); алокаційну (кон'юнктурноформуючий/галузевий неопротекціонізм; інфраструктурний неопротекціонізм; факторний неопротекціонізм; інтеграційний неопротекціонізм; фінансовий неопротекціонізм; інвестиційний неопротекціонізм); дистрибутивну (інституційний неопротекціонізм; фіскальний неопротекціонізм; фінансовий неопротекціонізм; інвестиційний неопротекціонізм); стабілізаційну (монетарний неопротекціонізм; валютний неопротекціонізм; борговий неопротекціонізм; фінансовий неопротекціонізм; інвестиційний неопротекціонізм).Моделювання процесів кластерізації української економіки із використанням бостонської матриці та моделі Леонтьєва дозволило виділити чотири продуктивні кластери: інноваційний (виробництво комп'ютерів, електронної та оптичної продукції; телекомунікації (електрозв'язок); комп'ютерне програмування, консультування та надання інформаційних послуг; професійна, наукова та технічна діяльність; інформація та телекомунікації; видавнича діяльність; виробництво кіно- та відеофільмів; допоміжний (постачання електроенергії, газу, пари та кондиційованого повітря; оптова та роздрібна торгівля; ремонт автотранспортних засобів і мотоциклів; тимчасове розміщування й організація харчування; фінансова та страхова діяльність), традиційний (сільське, лісове та рибне господарство; добувна промисловість і розроблення кар'єрів; переробна промисловість; будівництво; транспорт, складське господарство, поштова та кур'єрська діяльність; виробництво хімічних речовин і хімічної продукції), стратегічний (транспорт, складське господарство, поштова та кур'єрська діяльність; виробництво хімічних речовин і хімічної продукції; автомобіле- та машинобудування; легка промисловість) та визначити галузі-драйвери економічного зростання, в яких можливе отримання високого чистого валового доходу та які безпосередньо впливають на темпи зростання ВВП.Запропоновано методологічний підхід до оцінювання ефективності надання податкових пільг й інших преференцій резидентам індустріальних парків, який, на відміну від існуючих підходів, передбачає використання прикладних моделей загальної рівноваги для ідентифікації пріоритетних галузей-реципієнтів державної допомоги через мережу індустріальних парків у контексті активізації випереджаючого розвитку країни за ключовими макроекономічними показниками, а також визначення оптимального обсягу відповідних преференцій з міркувань сталих надходжень державного бюджету, що дозволило обґрунтувати перелік перспективних стимулів резидентам індустріальних парків для досягнення цілей висхідного руху вітчизняної промисловості ланцюгами доданої вартості й створення замкнутого циклу інновацій в Україні.В роботі проведено оцінку використання системи податкових й інших преференцій для резидентів індустріальних парків з метою відновлення та забезпечення подальшого інноваційного розвитку виробничо-експортного потенціалу України, що дало змогу адаптувати міжнародний досвід використання механізму вільних економічних зон до вітчизняної практики задля створення сприятливого інвестиційного середовища для нових високотехнологічних виробництв у національній економіці на період формування ними конкурентних переваг.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a global concern; impacts on the climate do not depend on where the CO2 is emitted. To meet this concern, a worldwide program for cutting greenhouse gases was formed in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997. The Kyoto protocol formulates the general principles for a worldwide treaty on cutting greenhouse emissions and specifies reductions for the industrialised world. The European Union has introduced an EU wide emission trading system (EUETS) that became operational in 2005 as an instrument for EU member states to meet their Kyoto obligations. Transports are not included, but may become a part of the EU-ETS in future revisions. Instead emissions from transports are regulated by other means, including fuel taxes. To further reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars and to improve fuel efficiency, the European Community has adopted a separate strategy. An important element of this strategy are the Commitments of the European, Japanese and Korean Automobile Manufacturers Associations to achieve total new passenger car fleet average CO2 emissions of 140 g CO2/km by 2008/2009. In this paper we assess the option of introducing an EU wide certificate/emission permit trading system for new passenger cars as an alternative to the commitments made by the European Automobile Manufacturers Associations. An overview of alternative trading systems is presented, possible objectives and evaluation criteria are discussed, arguments for introducing separate systems for new passenger cars are discussed, the potential for emission reduction through technological advances and changed consumer behaviour is analysed and a possible design of a system of tradable permits for new passenger cars is presented. CAP-AND TRADE OR BASELINE-CREDIT? In a cap-and-trade system a total limit (a cap) on emissions is defined. Emission permits that sum up to the limit or cap are then allocated among the agents generating the emissions. Having allocated the permits, trade is introduced. If certain conditions are achieved, trade will continue to the point where marginal abatement costs are the same across sectors and nations. Cost-effectiveness is then achieved. The EU-ETS is an example of a cap-and-trade system. A baseline-credit system is an alternative. In such a system certificates or credits are based on the achievement of improvements in relation to a baseline. Agents with emissions lower than the predefined baseline receive credits and those exceeding the baseline will have to buy credits. The baseline is typically defined in relation to a rate-based value such as CO2-emissions per kilometre or emissions per unit of output. A relative baseline system of this kind is thereby designed to control average emissions, e.g. per car and kilometre, rather than total emissions. The cap-and-trade system has the advantage by allowing a larger variety of choices for adjusting emissions. Taking road transports as an example, total emissions can be reduced not only by reducing average emissions per car and kilometre but also by reducing total car fleet mileage e.g. by giving incentives to travellers to drive less, drive shorter distances or shifting to alternative modes of transport. If the overall objective is to reduce emissions in a cost-effective manner across sectors and nations, including the transport sector in current EU-ETS would be an option to consider. The advantage of such a system is that it has the potential of providing incentives to agents to act in a way that will equalise marginal abatement costs across sectors (assuming also that current CO2-based fuel taxes/other taxes linked to CO2 emissions are adjusted accordingly), thus leading to cost-effective abatement. The baseline-credit system, on the other hand, would concentrate on reducing average emissions and consequently target the behavioural changes necessary to reduce average emissions. If, for example, the objective is to increase energy efficiency through technological improvements, a baseline-credit system may therefore be the optimal choice. Moreover, myopic behaviour in the market for new passenger cars may lead to a situation where consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for CO2-reducing technology is insufficient to cover the costs of developing the technology and put it to the market even if car manufacturers were to trade in EU-ETS and thereby receive monetary gains by developing technology that reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. A system such as the baselinecredit system may therefore be necessary in order to provide sufficient incentives to manufacturers to work towards increased energy efficiency in new cars through technological improvements. The average CO2 emissions from new cars sold in the market can be reduced in two ways; either by increasing the energy efficiency in each type of car put to the market (i.e. improved technology) or by providing incentives to consumers to choose the most energy-efficient cars already in the market. Achieving objectives such as 120 g CO2/km for new car fleet most likely requires both of these. Also, in order to influence consumer behaviour it is important to make technology available to consumers at low cost. Consumers choose to pay for new technology only if the benefits of improved gas-mileage exceed the costs of higher car prices. TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT OR CHANGED CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR? Considering technological improvements there are two ways in which to reduce specific CO2 emissions: By reducing fuel consumption in vehicles with conventional combustion engines (petrol and diesel), or by using renewable, low-CO2fuels (partly) in conjunction with new engine technologies. Fuel consumption in vehicles with conventional combustion engines can in turn be reduced in a number of ways. Technological measures can be roughly divided into four categories: Improved engine technology, downsizing and enhanced transmission technology, energy management and hybridisation, and vehicle design. The literature shows that conventional combustion engines have considerable potential for fuel-saving. In the case of petrol engines, it is thought that measures involving the drive train in a middle-size vehicle could achieve fuel savings of around 38 per cent. Further measures such as weight reduction, reduced rolling and air resistance, and promotion of fuel-efficient driving habits can result in 40 per cent or greater decrease in overall consumption. Diesel engines have lower savings potential than petrol engines because diesel engines are less wasteful than petrol engines when run at partial throttle, and significant increases in diesel motor efficiency have already been achieved. Nevertheless, hybridisation and improved transmission could result in savings of around 32 per cent. Additional savings could also be achieved with a reduction in vehicle weight, reduced rolling and air resistance, and by promoting fuel-efficient driving habits. Turning then to consumer behaviour, it is important to recognise that consumers consider a large variety of characteristics before finally choosing the car that best fits their needs and their personal preferences. From a CO2 point of view consumers should ideally be concerned about fuel efficiency more than any other characteristics. This, however, is not the case. Studies have shown that factors such as safety, prestige and powerful engines influence consumer behaviour more than does fuel efficiency, especially in times when disposable incomes increase. However, in spite of recent trends there seems to be a potential to provide incentives to consumers to shift to low-emitting cars without any large sacrifices being involved. Consider, for instance, Volvo V70, which was the most popular new car model in Sweden in 2005. The emissions from the different petrol versions range between 214 and 266 g CO2/km, whereas diesels are available with emissions ranging from 171 to 223 g CO2/km. A movement form the highest CO2/km per kilometre value to the lowest would thus imply savings of 95 grams per kilometre. To achieve these savings a consumer who currently prefers the highest emitting car has to change fuel, automatic transmission and engine power. However, brand, model or car size would not need to change. For most consumers the "adjustment cost" would thus be relatively low. The above is an extreme case scenario involving only one car model. Considering instead the whole fleet of new passenger cars, our calculations show that there is a general potential to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars by 13-30 g CO2/km within the same car model (or approximately 8-15 per cent). THE COST OF INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY The main purpose of a baseline-credit system for new passenger cars would be to provide incentives for car manufacturers to develop and introduce the technology in new cars required to reach the specified CO2-objectives. However, this also means that consumers must find it worthwhile to buy a low-emitting car, i.e. the benefits of the improved technology, not the least in terms of increased gas mileage, must exceed the increase in sales price. The technological potential is large, but the benefits for consumers could be questioned since car buyers apparently do not judge energy efficiency as an important characteristic. Assuming unchanged market shares for petrol and diesel cars as well as small, medium and large sized cars, our calculations show that a reduction of the average emissions to 120 g CO2per car and kilometre in the EU would imply an increase in retail prices by 2 000 euro. There is technological potential to further reduce emissions to an average of 100 g CO2 per kilometre. However, the cost increase for this additional reduction is about 6 000 euro. THE DESIGN OF A SYSTEM FOR NEW PASSENGER CARS It is our conclusion that an emission trading system for new cars should be separated from the EU-ETS and designed as a baseline and credit system, based on emission intensity. Setting up a separate emission trading system for new cars as a baseline and credit system involves defining a baseline. It is natural to tie the baseline to the goals that are under discussion in the European Union i.e. 140 and 120 g CO2/km. Different time frames have been discussed. One possibility is to reach 140 CO2/km by 2008/2009 and 120 g CO2/km by 2012. Earlier discussions about technological development show that this time frame is feasible. Before trade can take place, demand and supply of credits need to be created. In a cap-and-trade system initial allocation of permits is a very important issue. In the baseline and credit system the allocation of credits is automatic: cars below baseline receive credits and cars above baseline need to purchase credits. In principle, this implies that no cost is imposed on the baseline car. High-emitting cars will become more expensive and low-emitting cars less expensive. The credits will work in a way similar to a system of subsidies for cars emitting below the baseline and taxes for those above. Trade with credits need to perform in a way that supports attainment of the baseline. A possible solution is that credits are traded in a market that is similar to a stock exchange. The offers of sellers and the bids of buyers will meet in a market that ideally clears each trading day. As long as markets clear, there is attainment of the baseline. To overcome imbalances, an accommodating system that handles short time excess credits or shortages will need to be worked out. There is also a need for an enforcement and compliance mechanism. Another issue to deal with is that there may be different incentives for buyers and sellers. Buyers will generally be obliged to buy credits. Sellers, on the other hand, may want to capitalise their credits later, or to bank them for coming periods. The differences in incentives can lead to shortages and an upward pressure on prices and fluctuating prices. The issue whether trade of credits should take place downstream or upstream includes several options in the production-consumption chain. The recommendation is that the retailers should be the trading entity. We also suggest gradual reductions in baseline. However, the details of a system of baseline and credits will need further analysis. Important issues in a future analysis will be designing mechanisms for compliance, monitoring and penalising. Incentive problems need also to be dealt with.
This paper aims to discuss how institutional racism plays a part in the continued criminalisation of cannabis in the United Kingdom. I will start with a short history of usage and attitudes toward cannabis in the United Kingdom, mainly England. I will then assess the relationship that the criminal justice system has with cannabis and its users, and delve into how racial bias operates within law enforcement, using stop and search as a point of focus. This paper will explore how these biases lead to a disproportionate application of the law on certain groups of people. It will be argued while using Canada as point of comparison, that cannabis is being used in the United Kingdom as a political tool to favour voters of certain demographics, and that while more research is needed to fully assess the effects of cannabis, the reasoning behind maintaining cannabis' status as a dangerous substance is both absurdly hypocritical and entirely no longer necessary. Medicinal, recreational, and the law The United Kingdom first listed cannabis as a prohibited drug in 1928 by adding it to the Dangerous Drugs Act 1920 in accordance with the International Opium Convention 1912. For an immeasurable amount of time the cannabis plant has been used recreationally, medicinally, and industrially across the planet, including many former British colonies and overseas territories.[1] The Misuse of Drugs Act currently lists cannabis and cannabis derivatives as Class B controlled drugs.[2] This classification means that it is a criminal offence in the United Kingdom to possess, grow, or supply cannabis to others. Section 6 of the act outlines the cultivation of any species of cannabis plant as a specific offence. Cannabis related offences are punishable through schedule 4 of the act. On indictment production or supplying of cannabis could result in up to fourteen years in prison, whilst possession alone, up to five years in prison, (an unlimited fine, or both). In 2004 cannabis was moved from Class B to Class C, which holds less prison time for possession while retaining the same fourteen years penalty for production and supply.[3] This was done after the Advisory Council claimed that even though cannabis was harmful, it was not as harmful as other Class B drugs; amphetamines, methylamphetamine, barbiturates, and codeine.[4] Another driving point was to take the pressure off arrests for possession of small amounts of cannabis to shift the focus of law enforcement toward other more dangerous drugs and crime.[5] This reclassification only stood for five years as cannabis returned to Class B in 2009 against the advice of the Advisory Council.[6] Currently in the United Kingdom a person can get a warning or Penalty Notice for Disorder (PND) for possession of small amounts instead of being arrested.[7] The United Kingdom was once the world's largest exporter of cannabis for medical and scientific use, producing around 95,000 kilograms of cannabis in the year 2016.[8] In 2015, that production was at 41,706 kilograms.[9] For a country so determined to prohibit the use and supply of cannabis within its borders, it is quite ironic that businesses are being licensed for production for export, and that production doubled in that year. Law and Enforcement: stop and search and racial bias Canada, having legalised recreational cannabis in October 2018, will be used as a point of comparison to explore the UK's complex legal and political relationship with cannabis. While recreational cannabis is still considered illegal in most of the world, many countries seem to not strictly enforce their laws. In pre-legalised Canada, cannabis use became increasingly socially acceptable. The enforcement of possession laws became less and less important to society, which was reflected in the prioritisation used by the police.[10] While unregulated sales remained illegal post the legalisation of medical cannabis in 2001, there still existed brick and mortar dispensaries where the public was able to purchase cannabis illegally. For the most part, law enforcement would leave them to their business unless they suspected a connection to gang violence, sale to minors, or other crime. It was common to see them reopen after being raided and shutdown.[11] Law enforcement in the United Kingdom has a lot of say about the way that perpetrators of cannabis-related crimes are dealt with. The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) in the UK released an official policing guideline for cannabis possession for personal use in 2009 following the substance's return to a Class B status in the UK.[12] This document outlines whether a warning or PND should be issued in place of an arrest and explains the 'escalation policy' used to determine which of the three the perpetrator will receive. To determine the severity of the possession they look at 'aggravating factors' such as whether they were caught in a public place, whether a young person is involved or could be exposed to drug use, and repeat offences.[13] This document states the purpose of these 'aggravating factors' as 'The circumstances of the offence form part of the consideration in determining whether an arrest can be made and justified'.[14] So in theory as per this document an adult over the age of 18 with no prior history caught in possession of cannabis for personal use and not falling under any of the aggravating factors should be let off with a warning (which would not show up on a standard criminal record check) even though it is a Class B illicit drug. There are two important points regarding these guidelines. The first is that even though cannabis at this point had returned to Class B status, it was not being treated the same as other Class B substances – it is now being treated more leniently by law enforcement in comparison to other Class B substances. These more forgiving rules send a message to the public that even though cannabis was moved back to Class B status, it is accepted to be not as 'sinister' as the others. It begs the question of whether moving the drug back to Class B even had any bearing or real practical purpose. Herein lies an interesting unsynchronized relationship between the statute regarding the legality of cannabis and the approaches taken by law enforcement. Law enforcement is seemingly doing a better job than legislature at keeping up with public opinion by relaxing their approaches. Secondly, while they cover England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in a uniform manner, they are just that: guidelines. Each local policing authority has the prerogative of deciding how they may deal with a case of cannabis possession.[15] What is evident is that this prerogative is used, to varying degrees. Some policing authorities, such as Durham, have made public statements in which they have announced they will not be targeting individuals for possession for personal use.[16] An article in the Canterbury Journal interviews a resident that describes the city as 'weed central', indicating the city even has its own cannabis club (the Canterbury Cannabis Collective) that lobbies politicians at Westminster.[17] It would suffice to say that being affiliated with this cannabis club would be enough to fulfil the 'reasonable belief' that law enforcement needs to target someone. They are lobbying openly for the legalisation of cannabis, which indicates that law enforcement is largely just allowing it to happen. So, if the people want recreational cannabis legalised (or are indifferent to it), and law enforcement has begun acknowledging that it is not a priority for them to police, why has Westminster not caught up? Interestingly, in the same article another interviewee who is opposed to legalisation said she thinks, 'it'll increase the number of people smoking it by making it socially acceptable, like areas of Canada where people started smoking it openly and regularly once it had been legalised.'[18] This is statistically not true. According to Statistics Canada, self-reported cannabis use amongst Canadians rose from 14.9% before legalisation to 16.8% after legalisation. However, most of that difference of 1.9% could simply be accounted for by less hesitation to admit usage once it was not a criminal offence since results are self-reported. Additionally, respondents were to only report on whether they used in the three months prior to being surveyed.[19] So this is evidence of some apparent misconceptions about legalisation, and while a lax attitude from law enforcement may make cannabis users in those areas very happy, it is arguable that this prerogative in law enforcement's hands is a detriment to equal treatment of perpetrators of the same crime from different backgrounds. There are many facets to consider when discussing the United Kingdom's relationship to cannabis. For one, it is not a plant native to the country and its use was introduced during the colonial period mostly through the Indian subcontinent.[20] In South Asia, cannabis was widely used medicinally and recreationally and is considered in Hindu Ayurveda to be one of five sacred plants that relieve anxiety.[21] While many may think of cannabis in the context of a relaxed Caribbean stereotype (or even particularly Jamaican), the plant was first introduced to the Caribbean through the movement of Indian indentured workers brought there by the British regime.[22] The origins of this plant are culturally and socially connected to (but not exclusively) two racial groups, people of South Asian and of African descent. Its history plays a part in the way that it is viewed socially. It is no secret that both of these racial groups have faced tribulations at the hands of British colonialism, the legacy of which still lingers. One of these tribulations that has spilt into our modern existence is the entrenched racism that plagues the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom, of which law enforcement plays a huge part. The demonisation of dark skin leads to a disproportionate treatment of people of colour by law enforcement, and a disproportionate number of arrests and convictions. Crimes involving cannabis are one of the ways in which this disproportionality is manifested, but it is in no way the only one. Stop and Search, and the Macpherson Report The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, which in 1999 generated the Macpherson Report, followed the racially motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993.[23] It was an important conversation-starter on the processes used when investigating a racially charged crime, in this case the murder of a black British teenager by a group of white youths. Under 'stop and search' police officers can search you if they have 'reasonable grounds' to suspect you are carrying illegal drugs (or similar), or without reasonable grounds if it was approved by a senior officer.[24] According to the Home Office, as of the 2011 census, persons of black ethnicity comprise about 4% of the population of the UK, yet the Ministry of Justice reports that they are involved in about 20% of all drug stop and searches as well as prosecutions for cannabis.[25] With people of black ethnicity there is also a higher number of prosecutions than there are stop and searches in comparison with people of white ethnicity. The racial element of these statistics is clear. If only 4% of the population is represented by black ethnicity, why are they involved in 20% of the searches? There is no correlation to suggest people of black ethnicity consume more cannabis in the UK. According to statistics on drug misuse available through the UK Government's website, in the 2018/2019 findings of adults aged 16 to 59, 8% of the white respondents versus 6.7% of the 'Black or Black British' respondents reported use of cannabis in the previous year.[26] Stop and search gives individual police officers the power to use their own judgement to decide whether a person may be involved in a crime of some sort without seeing a crime being committed (in this case, in possession or planning to supply illicit drugs). Stop and search methods have been thoroughly scrutinised and continuously reformed as many do believe that they are not effective or an efficient use of law enforcement's time and resources.[27] The idea of law enforcement being able to search anyone they feel necessary could lead to a gross misuse of power. Figure 1[28] Figure 1 illustrates the bias that exists within this system of law enforcement. The dotted flat line represents the likelihood of a person of white ethnicity being stopped within the years 2014-2016. Every non-white group surveyed had a higher probability of being involved in a stop and search. The black community does not consume more cannabis, and therefore should not be any more likely than someone of white ethnicity to be in possession of cannabis. Yet black individuals are still 6.5 times more likely to be stopped. According to the same data bank, people of black ethnicity used all surveyed drugs (powder cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogens, amphetamines, mephedrone, ketamine and cannabis) less commonly than those of white ethnicity.[29] The obvious link: racial bias. By this logic, police officers are, even unconsciously, under the impression that a black person is more likely to be involved in something illegal. The result of that is that the black population are being disproportionally affected by the law – a gross miscarriage of justice. We as citizens may want to believe that these statistics are an improvement, that the racial bias in the United Kingdom is a work in positive progress. However, 'figures for 1997/98 show that "black people were, on average, five times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police than white people." Black people are also "more likely to be arrested than white or other ethnic groups."'[30] Many of these statistics are also based on self-identified ethnicity, where as to clearly see a bias or prejudice, one must know what others assume that person's ethnicity to be. What they identify themselves as, may be a useful indicator of how others view them, but it does not necessarily facilitate an understanding of the exact impact of racial identity on law enforcement. The Macpherson Report is arguably one of the most important modern documents outlining the racial biases within the UK's criminal justice system. What it found was astonishing evidence exposing racial bias within the response and investigation of the death of Stephen Lawrence. No police officer on the scene performed any form of first aid after finding him, nor did they check his vitals to see if he was still alive.[31] The victim's parents reported being treated unprofessionally with insensitivity and were deprived of information regarding the case which they were entitled to. There was evidence suggesting that the perpetrators were not arrested for the crime, because they were white even though they were suspects with sufficient evidence to procure a warrant. In general, they found that there was a lack of enthusiasm to find the murderers of a black man by white suspects.[32] While murder is beyond the scope of this essay, the findings of this report solidify the notion that in multiple ways people of black ethnicity are victims to the institutional racism present in the criminal justice system. Cannabis and politics The current Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party's political crusade to legalise recreational cannabis use in Canada sat on two very important points: to make it harder for minors to access cannabis, and to tackle gang violence associated with cannabis sales.[33] Legalisation of cannabis was just one of the ways in which Justin Trudeau managed to rally two unlikely voter demographics: people of colour, and young voters between the age of 18-25. This won him two consecutive federal elections, while remaining at the time relatively appealing to the older voters.[34] With the changing demographic in Canada, rallying these voters was, and remains, a key political tool to holding power. He, like his father, former Prime Minister the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, prized multiculturalism in his political platform – a concept very important to the Canadian identity and society. The Canadian Multiculturalism Act is a law passed in 1985 by the late Trudeau outlining all the ways in which it is expected that multiculturalism is to be upheld by the federal government. This includes, but is not limited to, 'ensur[ing] that all individuals receive equal treatment and equal protection under the law, while respecting and valuing their diversity.'[35] This policy of upholding diversity is part of the Canadian constitution. The closest comparable statute existing in the United Kingdom is the Equality Act 2010. This piece of legislation covers a wider breadth of demographical information that may lead to discrimination, including, but not limited to, race, religion, gender, and age. Section 1 of the Act outlines the duty that public figures such as ministers, courts, police, and councils have toward socio-economic inequalities: An authority to which this section applies must, when making decisions of a strategic nature about how to exercise its functions, have due regard to the desirability of exercising them in a way that is designed to reduce the inequalities of outcome which result from socio-economic disadvantage.[36] What is compelling is that Section 3 states that any breach of section 1 'does not confer a cause of action at private law,'[37] which limits how these public bodies are held accountable for breaching the Act and is realistically mostly just applicable to employers' relations with employees. The purpose of this act reads like a guide on what your legal options are if you feel that you were wrongly discriminated in the workplace by any of the protected demographics. The purpose of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act is to focus much more on the acts and efforts that are expected of the Federal Government to uphold the integrity of diversity by recognising differences and adopting practices to accommodate them. This also includes promoting the use of languages other than English and French, the two official languages.[38] The entrenchment of this Act into the Canadian constitution, and the language used within it, shows just how important it is to Canadian society, run by a liberal government, as it holds everyone, including federal bodies, accountable for nurturing diversity in Canada. Whether or not it always plays out that way is beyond the scope of this paper. There is a political connection with the way in which cannabis is 'officially' viewed versus the way that it is socially viewed when comparing Canada and the United Kingdom. Dalhousie University in Halifax published a study suggesting that 68% of Canadians (another 6.9% were indifferent) supported the legalisation of recreational marijuana in September 2017.[39] In a poll by YouGov for the Conservative Drug Policy Reform Group in the UK, 48% supported legalisation while only 24% opposed.[40] If that was not enough, a government survey found in 2017/2018 that 30% of adults aged 16 to 64 have tried cannabis at least once.[41] If the majority of the country is supportive or indifferent to the legalisation of recreational cannabis, why are the two governments approaching the idea so differently? This puts into question the strength of democracy in the United Kingdom as well, since the existing legislation does not reflect public opinion. In 2019 three Members of Parliament from three parties visited Canada in order to evaluate the legal cannabis sector first-hand. Not surprisingly, the Liberal Democrat and Labour MPs later declared that they would support a change in 'cannabis legislation in the next five to ten years'. Only the Conservative MP did not show support for cannabis legalisation following the visit.[42] The Conservative Party of the UK has historically maintained that cannabis should remain an illegal substance.[43] There have also been allegations of racism linked to the Conservative Party and its leaders. One such point is the commentary on Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968 which, riddled with racist undertones, was aimed against the 1968 Race Relations Bill.[44] This bill made it illegal to refuse employment, public services, or housing to any person based on colour, race, or ethnic origin.[45] More recently, the current Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been quoted numerous times making racist comments. An article for the Guardian mentions that in articles written by Johnson before becoming Prime Minister he has referred to black people as 'piccaninnies with watermelon smiles' as well as claiming that the police were 'cowed' by the Macpherson Report.[46] While these claims were not made while he was in office, they are a glimpse into the rhetoric that has been accepted by the Conservative Party. An NHS study suggested that while around 10% of cannabis users may develop an addiction to cannabis, 32% of tobacco users and 15% of alcohol users will become addicted to tobacco and alcohol, respectively. There is also no recorded case of death caused by cannabis in the United Kingdom.[47] Alcoholchange.org has compiled statistics from the government showing that 24% of adults in England and Scotland regularly drink more than what is considered low-risk[48]; they found that in 2016 there were 9,214 alcohol-related deaths.[49] The Office for National Statistics found that 14.7% of adults over 18 years of age smoked cigarettes in the UK in 2018. In the same year there were 77,800 deaths attributed to smoking tobacco in the UK.[50] So, on the basis of death and addiction, cannabis seems to be relatively low risk compared to two substances that are legal and regulated. Yet, it is health concerns that are repeatedly cited when officials are asked about why there has been no significant movement toward legalisation of cannabis.[51] Conclusion: A long road to legalisation There is a worldwide shift happening in terms of social views of cannabis use. In Canada, while cannabis was still illegal it was clearly not a major concern of law enforcement, and there seems to be a similar attitude in the United Kingdom where other forms of crime take a greater importance. There is a complex web of connection between institutionalised racism, parliament, law enforcement, and politics regarding cannabis. There is a visible lag when it comes to legislation and law enforcement being up to date with social attitudes and there is clearly a disconnect between them. It seems even law enforcement does not stand on the same side of legalisation as current legislation. They seem to be shifting toward polled public attitudes that possession of cannabis and personal recreational use should not be criminalised. Talking about the impact of a law moves far past the wording of the provision or the sentencing for the crime. Law enforcement is a key piece of the system that perpetuates this racial oppression. Even with the public support for cannabis legalisation, changing social attitude, and the prevalence of usage it does not necessarily look like the English Parliament will be pushing any bills forward to make that a reality anytime soon, especially not under a Conservative government. By looking at two multicultural countries we are able to see how political differences impact the legality of cannabis. The uses of cannabis in many other countries are tied to cultural significance as well as social tolerance such as in India, mentioned previously. Cannabis is not the problem; it is the connection to organised crime and violence which can be tackled through government regulation. This has been shown in the data gathered by statistics Canada showing that in every province and territory, legalisation has brought at minimum a 26% decrease in police reported cannabis offences.[52] It is important that we continue to question the legitimacy of the claims the government makes about why they refuse to legalise and regulate cannabis as well as the institutionalised racism involved. There is evidence to suggest that the government has been using cannabis as a proverbial 'garden tool' to weed-out groups that they choose to target, or they believe are less important, and there is plenty of evidence showing that it is the black community that received the short end of that stick. All should be equal before the law, but this is virtually impossible to uphold when the law is represented through people, because people make judgements based on their inherent biases. There is no one statistic, statute, or study that will conclusively prove that politicians through the ages have used cannabis to paint a target on the backs of the black community, but there is evidence of it everywhere. With the information that we do have in consideration, cannabis is no more dangerous to human health than alcohol and tobacco. Continuing to demonise cannabis and insist that it should have no place in the UK's society is hypocritical. Based on the attitudes of the public, as well as law enforcement, its criminal status is also completely unnecessary. There are better things for the justice system to be focusing on, and worse things to be keeping out of society.

Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: In the past two decades backpacker tourism has grown vastly throughout both developed and developing world. Particularly to south and Southeast Asian countries the phenomenon of backpacking is not new, so to India, where it dates back to the 60's and 70's hippy drifters, to which backpacking is often associated. It has been since the publication of the Lonely Planet's 'Yellow Bible' ('Southeast Asia on a Shoestring') in 1975 that backpacking has gradually emerged as a mass travel style. Today popular travel-yourself literature cover almost every corner of the globe, serving a steady demand for 'off the beaten path' travel. Thereby to backpackers the developmental background of a destination plays a lesser role than to the mainstream tourist, who is demanding certain infrastructural arrangements. As a result backpackers are found in utmost remote and low developed locations that other tourists never reach. Thus backpacker enclaves have emerged in many places throughout the world, and not without effects on their hosting environments. While social impacts often carry negative connotations, hosting communities do usually appreciate backpackers for their economic contributions. Objectives and Scope of this paper: In recent years backpacker tourism has profoundly been studied in developed contexts, particularly Australia and New Zealand are to be seen the pioneering regions of independent travel research, having undertaken strenuous efforts to study the same within the past two decades. As a consequence both destinations have recognized the economic value of low budget travel to their countries and established backpacker tourism as high yielding segments within their national tourism markets. In both countries backpacking has since undergone shift from de-marketing to a marketing label. Though in recent years international research has made numerous successful attempts to study backpacker tourism in less developed contexts, many tourism officials in third world destinations as yet refuse to accept the economic reach coming along with low-budget travel. Instead a majority of administrative instances promote upscale- and regulated forms of tourism to be the way forward, neglecting any concerns with regard to necessary infrastructure or initial investments. Though only a fraction of developing nations do actively restrict independent travel to their territories (e.g. Maldives, Bhutan), a majority at best tacitly ignores the phenomenon. Other cases have proven forceful discouragement from local authorities and government bodies. India is an example, though having a long tradition as a backpacker destination and as yet well reputing among international travellers, there are strong indications that tourism planners and authorities follow the common misbelieve that low budget equals low revenue tourism and begin displacing backpacker tourism, in particular from designated tourism priority zones. At this point the present paper starts to assume relevance. It aims at proving the economic significance of international backpacker tourism in a third world context, particularly the economic development impacts coming along with this form of travel. Beside setting up an explorative backpacker profile of independent travellers in India it examines the case of a remote Indian traveller enclave including the local and regional economic developments directly and indirectly resulting from budget travel. Basing on empirical research firstly a backpacker profile is being created, providing fundamental quantitative data on travellers in India and the study area itself. A second aim of this paper is to place the backpacker in India into an international context and identify similarities and differences to his counterpart in other regions of the world. Furthermore it follows the question of the existence of different types of backpackers in India. Hence, survey findings are being contrasted with data from other, international backpacker markets, as well as theoretic defining and distinction criteria. The identification of parallels farther allows an application of economic development criteria from other destinations onto the Indian context. The section therewith sheds light onto the demand side of India's contemporary budget travel market. A qualitative approach has been chosen to run down on backpacker economic development impacts on Havelock in the Andaman Islands, representing the study area of this paper. Substantiated by data from the backpacker profile this second section portrays the case of a remote islands enclave, and how backpacker tourism impacts on its local economy. Again findings are being contrasted with a number of theoretic criteria, in order to emphasize their significance to the region. Farther the evolutionary path of backpacker enclaves is being followed and the question whether or not independent travel spearheads organized forms of tourism. This section particularly approaches the supply side of independent travel in India and the area of focus. Finally the paper aims at identifying factors for success of backpacker travel in India and the Andaman Islands.Inhaltsverzeichnis:Table of Contents: 1.INTRODUCTION1 1.1Objectives and Scope1 1.2Structure3 1.3Overall Methodology4 THEORETICAL CONTEXT 2.INTRODUCTION TO THE DESTINATION6 2.1Destination India6 2.1.1India's developmental situation6 2.1.2Geography and climate7 2.1.3Politics and economy7 2.1.4Tourism in India8 2.2Destination Andaman Islands13 2.2.1Geographic facts13 2.2.2Brief historical review14 2.2.3Population14 2.2.4Economy and industry14 2.2.5AN Islands tourism15 2.3Destination Havelock Island16 2.3.1Location16 2.3.2Population16 2.3.3Landscape and infrastructure16 3.BACKPACKER DEFINING CRITERIA TYPOLOGIES17 3.1Cohen's tourist typology17 3.1.1The Organized Mass Tourist17 3.1.2The Individual Mass Tourist18 3.1.3The Explorer18 3.1.4The Drifter18 3.2Riley's defining criteria of independent travellers (1988)19 3.3Defining criteria of contemporary backpackers20 3.3.1Pearce's defining criteria of backpackers (1990)20 3.3.2Ateljevic Doorne's defining criteria of backpackers (2000)22 3.3.3Contrasting Ateljevic Doorne's backpacker types with24 4.DEFINING CRITERIA WITH REGARD TO THE STUDY AREA25 4.1The backpacker enclave25 4.2Forms and types of backpacker enclaves26 4.2.3Urban and Rural Enclaves26 4.2.4Functional and Destinational Enclaves26 4.2.5Concentrated and Dispersed Enclaves26 4.3The evolutionary paths of backpacker enclaves27 4.3.1Butler's Tourist Area Life Cycle (TALC) Model27 4.3.2Papatheodorou's advanced evolutionary approach30 5.BACKPACKER TOURISM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA31 5.1Scheyven's Economic Development Criteria of Budget Tourism32 STUDY RESULTS 6.THE QUANTITATIVE SURVEY – PROFILING THE BACKPACKER34 6.1Methodology of the quantitative survey34 6.1.1Conceptualisation of the survey34 6.1.2Survey execution37 6.1.3Evaluation of data39 6.2Survey findings and discussion42 6.2.1Socioeconomic aspects - who is travelling?44 6.2.2Travel company, itinerary and trip length50 6.2.3Travel motivations56 6.2.4Use of infrastructure61 6.2.5Budgeting and expenses69 6.2.6Organized activities on Havelock Island74 6.2.7Statements to rate regarding India as a destination76 6.3Summary of survey findings78 6.3.1Demographics78 6.3.2Travel company78 6.3.3Travel motives78 6.3.4Itinerary79 6.3.5Use of infrastructure80 6.3.6Spending81 6.4Contrasting study findings with defining criteria of Pearce, Ateljevic Doorne82 6.4.1Comparison of survey findings with defining criteria of Pearce82 6.4.2Comparison of survey findings with Ateljevic Doorne's advanced defining criteria84 7.THE QUALITATIVE SURVEY – ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS ON HAVELOCK ISLAND86 7.1Methodology of qualitative interviews86 7.2Study findings and discussion87 7.2.1A temporal review of Havelock's budget tourism development88 7.2.2Economic development impacts on Havelock91 7.2.3The case of Shri Dhananjoy Mondal and family97 7.4Summary of local economic development impacts on Havelock99 7.5Contrasting Havelock's status with Scheyven's defining criteria101 8.DEFINING HAVELOCK'S CURRENT STATUS AS A BACKPACKER ENCLAVE104 8.1Classification of Havelock's status according to Cohen and Howard104 8.2Classification of Havelock's evolutionary status according to Butler Papatheodorou105 8.3Do backpackers spearhead mass tourism?108 9.SUCCEEDING FACTORS FOR BPT DEVELOPMENT110 9.1Resources beneficial to tourism development110 9.2Surrounding conditions beneficial to independent travel development113 9.3Success factors for backpacker travel development in brief118 10.CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION119 11.REFERENCES123 12.ANNEX130Textprobe:Text Sample: Chapter 6.3.1, Demographics: The backpacker found to be travelling in India is young, commonly under the age of 30. Males and females are equally distributed and the majority originates a western background (Europe and North America). Remarkable are a very high percentage of young Israeli travellers, constituting the strongest source nation of the sample, was found to be travelling in Andaman Islands. Israeli travellers in particular are young, with a large majority under the age of 25. Age composition of backpackers matches findings from previous surveys. Independent travellers in India are very well educated, either already having a university degree, or still studying for one. Only a fraction of the sample is full time employed, a larger proportion was found to be in an undetermined status - e.g. between two major phases in life - hence 'travelling' best suited their current occupation. Again present findings coincide with findings from earlier studies, from other parts of the world. 6.3.2, Travel company: The minority of backpackers in India travel on their own, the majority seek company of partner, friend(s) or fellow travellers. The result opposes findings from developed destinations, where a majority is found to be travelling alone. The assumption was substantiated, that independent travellers in third world destinations strongly tend to seek travel company. Increased hardship of travel and strangeness of host culture were named to be the most reasonable explanations. 6.3.3, Travel motives: The traveller to India is attracted by a composition of motives, commonly aspects of exploration, excitement and relaxation. A basic drive for the backpacker is a thirst for experience of India's natural, historical and cultural assets. Farther, sun and beach ranks as a top pull drive, as well as India's low overall cost of living and travelling. Rather specific for India is the 'spiritual traveller' who visits holy places and partly participates in meditation or Yoga. A majority of 'spiritual' travellers is of Israeli origin, many of those are involved in drug consumption. The assumption was made that the low living expenses in India strongly promote it to backpackers as a travel destination. At the same time - though being value for money - India does not appeal as a country for shopping. Rather there are indications that India receives recognition as a country for temporary tertiary education. The survey uncovered 3 'study backpackers', a fairly recent phenomenon which had already been reported from Australia. When it comes to Andaman Islands the relaxational aspect of pull factors comes to the fore. Travellers to Andaman Islands seek both, to actively and/or passively relax from strains of travel while exploring tropical beaches. The backpacker to Andaman Islands often follows recommendations from previous visitors (friends, relatives other travellers) and seeks thrill in adventuresome eco-activities. Snorkelling and SCUBA-diving are the most popular ventures backpackers opt for. 6.3.4, Itinerary: Most backpackers visit India for the first time and travel the country as part of a longer trip. Popular countries (intended to be) visited apart from India are Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Multiple destination travellers are heading from west to east. The overall trip length averages little above 20 weeks whereof 13 weeks are spent in India. Israeli backpackers commonly travel longer than the average, as they do stay in India. Trip lengths drawn from comparative studies commonly vary. Assumptions were made that the ultimate duration of stay is country specific and strongly depending on framework conditions. Available types of Visa, cost of living and incidental work opportunities would account as such. The backpacker to the Andaman Islands is a first time visitor, substantiating the island's status as a virgin destination. The average sojourn time in the archipelago is three weeks, whereof two weeks are spent on Havelock Island. This supports Havelock's reputation as a backpacker enclave and destination of choice for backpackers. 6.3.5, Use of infrastructure: The backpacker to India commonly travels on budget public transport systems. When compared to other destinations, Indian railway outweighs road based transport (bus). This was said to be due to Indian trains' excelling comfort when compared to (rough) road bound modes, while being value for money at the same time. Remarkably the backpacker to India air travels within the boarders of India at least on occasion. On one hand this was found to be a result of the study's realization on a remote island archipelago, involving a vast majority of the surveyed' in some sort of aviation. On the other hand the existence of hub- and overland backpackers has been substantiated, as well as the triumph of India's low cost air carriers (LCC). Compared to developed destinations rented self drive is only popular in/around enclaves. Travellers on Havelock opt for bicycle and/or scooter. Purchased self drive (e.g. campervan) as common in Australia does hardly exist in India. This has been identified a result of legal obstacles as well as distinct traffic and road conditions. When travelling to Andaman Islands backpackers choose to fly. Again the overall preference for budget housing has been substantiated. Travellers in India tend to stay in private guesthouses, farther quality local hotels or beach shack-type/ bamboo hut housing. Israeli travellers tend to be more rigorous when it comes to accommodation, a large proportion chooses ultra budget staying over comfort where available. Backpacker hostels as found in other destinations do not exist in India, nor do camping facilities or youth hostels. Travellers in India share their counterparts disfavour for upscale housing, as comparison with other studies reveals. Backpackers on Havelock exclusively stay in bamboo huts. This is due to inexistent alternatives in the budget sector, and the prevalent nature of this traditional type of housing. The traveller in India commonly chooses 'authentic' facilities to eat. Of highest popularity are small local restaurants, offering host culture interaction. To buy food from local shops and markets appeals as an option to most travellers. Price consciousness plays an important role and commonly outweighs the setting of a place. Fastfood chains, though increasing in numbers are commonly disregarded. Upscale and A/C restaurants are only being frequented on occasion. Backpackers in India use guidebooks to draw travel information, as they rely on reports from fellow travellers. The assumption was made that third world backpackers rely on information from word of mouth far more often than their counterparts in developed destinations. This has been explained with lacking reliable alternatives. In contrast to other destinations the internet is not as popular, though still used at least on occasion. India's infant stage of web based, travel-related information platforms was identified a possible explanation. 6.3.6, Spending: Despite a low daily budget of only EUR 12,5 backpackers in India each spend a total of EUR 2300 in the country. This was found to be less than in Australia but far more than contributions of average tourists (cf. Section 2.1.4). The largest proportion of the backpacker's daily spending account for basic needs, namely food, beverages and accommodation. In contrast to travellers in Australia those in India clearly do not spend money on shopping and souvenirs. This is outbalanced by those enrolling in organized activities. The backpacker in Andaman Islands does spend a multiple of his average daily spending on exceptional eco- and adventuresome activities (SCUBA diving/ snorkelling excursions). Similar results have been found for Australia and New Zealand.

This book builds on the lessons from public institutions and programs to support innovation, both successful and failed, from Europe and Central Asia (ECA) as well as China, Finland, Israel, and the United States. Field visits to these countries were hosted by the innovation and scientific agencies of the respective governments, strengthening the international experiences presented here. This book is a culmination of ten years of analytic and operational work led by the private and financial sector development department and the chief economist's office of the ECA region of the World Bank. Several regional reports and country policy notes exploring these issues have been published over the years. The book also reflects the lively discussion in the ongoing series of flagship events to promote knowledge based economies in the region. The most recent knowledge economy forum was held in Berlin in 2010, hosted by the fraunhofer center for Central and Eastern Europe. The book identifies policies that have an adverse affect on innovation. It also identifies policy gaps that, if filled, could have a catalytic effect on private sector innovation.
The agricultural and food production sector plays a key role in fighting poverty and food insecurity in Moldova, but is facing critical challenges to modernize and integrate into the international market. This paper focuses on smallholder farms, which make up 95 percent of all farms, and explores their potential for growth and the poverty links. Findings reveal that structural change is slow and smallholder farm growth in Moldova is an exception, not the rule. Only a small share of smallholder farms have the interest or capacity to commercialize but need targeted support policies to grow, intensify their farm activities, and integrate into the markets. For the remaining majority, enhancing their livelihoods calls for policies beyond the agricultural sector to help farm households diversify toward non-farm income.

C. BURNITE, '01 [dies Prize Essay—First Prize] "Ivives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime." —Longfellow. TV/fANKIND is like the face of a mountainous country. As we -*■'*■ view the human landscape, here and there, like peaks which rise above the plain and rear their snow-crowned heads among the clouds, appear, in bold contrast to the ordinary level of their fel-lows, the mighty men whose lives are the pages of history. And as we contemplate these epoch makers, there wells up in us, and quite naturally, too, a strong spirit of emulation. We admire them and would be like them. Of course, not every one of us can be a Napoleon, or a Wash-ington, or a Franklin, or a Grant; but each has abundant chances of becoming a less conspicuous, but yet quite prominent, feature in the plane of humanity. And it is the existence of such chances that prompts the youth of today to ask himself and others how best to pursue success. Geologists tell us that peaks owe their existence to their dur-able qualities. The surrounding material, by the action of aqueous erosion, has been carried away, leaving these tall projections which have been able to resist for ages the frictional action of water. Upon this same principle rests the success of the "makers of his-tory." Certain things in their make-up have enabled them to stand firm against the attrition of such circumstances as have swept their less sturdy fellows into the "realm of innocuous des-uetude." Their success is the result of the operation of the prin-ciple of the survival of the fittest. Ever since the world began, the principles and causes which have resulted in such changes as have been mentioned have al-ways been the same, and are the same, as those in operation to-day. And this is true of human affairs; so that the young man must realize that the same principles and causes which determined the success of great men, still operate. Ere he can resist the downward pressure of the busy, indifferent world about him, and, as Greely says, "bulge out over the top, where he is sure to be seen," it is necessary that he follows the same plan to secure suc-cess as that which has enabled others before him to become emi- THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 139 nent. Just as they have survived innumerable discouragements and scaled the heights of fame because they have made themselves the fittest, so must the youth, in order to reach a high place, develop in himself those things which will render him, too, fit to combat opposing forces. And what are the elements of that fitness which has led to the success of men? Rvery person expects to be or do something, some day; that is, all have purposes. Yet most of these are more or less vague. But what we who would get on in the world must have, are defi-nite purposes. A race without a fixed goal is nothing. Without a definite end to strive for, life is a mere "struggle for existence," and existence is all we get. But life is more than this. The fu-ture holds out many prizes to each of us, to be won only by those who decide definitely for what prize they shall strive. The trav-eller must know, if not to what distance he desires to go, at least what is the bearing of the course he wants to pursue, or he may travel in a circle. If we want to move from our present positions, we must have purposes which, though they are not necessarily limited in extent, yet in direction must be definite. Napoleon, at the very outstart of his brilliant career, aimed at the rulership of the French nation. Lincoln had a definite intention, formed early in life, to do good to others. And how signally he suc-ceeded when he liberated those millions of sufferers! And to rise as these men did, we too must adopt this important element of their fitness,—a definiteness of purpose. Besides the fact that great men have had definite intentions, we observe that they all show elements of fitness in the characters they possessed. All the truly great—and we mean by truly great, not a Nero or Lord Byron, but those whom the good admire,— have been men of high morality. And the more elevated their moral traits, the more we admire them. High moral qualities are a part of the equipment which has bsought them, and will bring us, success. As a possessor of such characteristics, "Old Abe" stands pre-eminent,— a veritable personification of honesty; an honesty which did not allow him to support the unjust, though legal, side of a question; an honesty which made him lose in purse, but gain in esteem, till as a result of this quality he attained a world-wide re-spect, which will last as long as man and memory exist. Lincoln's is real fame, and the young man can do nothing better than adopt 140 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY \ I in his character the prime element which brought renown to "Honest Old Abe." True courtesy is a moral quality, based upon thoughtfulness and consideration for others. Men must be gentlemen, if they want to make progress. Great men are not always polished models ot etiquette, but courtesy has always been a mark of their fitness to occupy the positions at which they have aimed. ' 'Jeffersonian simplicity" did not hinder the third President from reaching the place to which he was helped by Jeffersonian courtesy. Eet us avoid error, and imitate in ourselves this essential quality of fit-ness to advance. Impure and intemperate habits invariably destroy all chances of complete success. Neither Burns nor Poe have secured all the glory which steadier lives would have brought. Irregular habits undermine and weaken all the qualities of body, mind, and spirit, and under their influence complete triumph is impossible. Better adopt the kind of habits which rendered long and useful the lives of Greely, Bismarck, and Gladstone. Their temperate lives are models from which men may safely mould their conduct and there-by place themselves among the fittest to survive. Morality is admirable, but when heightened by the influence of Christian principles, it becomes sublime. Men like Luther and Washington, who have worked under the rule of Christianity, stand at the very summit of human esteem. Elijah Morse once said: "Young man, a good character; yes, and a clean, religious life, are the foundation stones for success." But the moral and religious traits we have spoken of are not all that bring success. It is true that they are the "foundation stones," but upon these there has always been built a structure of other materials, which have made their possessors able to sur-vive opposing forces. The extremely pious are not always re-membered, but those whomwe admire most and shall never for-get have linked their piety, as we should do, with other things essential to render them fittest to endure. L,et us speak also of these. Josh Billings says- "Energy is what wins. Many men fail to reach the mark because the powder in them is not proportional to the bullet." Men must have "vim," or they fail to remove what to them seem insurmountable obstacles. The Alps were no barrier to the vigor of Bonaparte. Neither must the young man THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 141 of to-day lack this same sort of energy. It will enable him to sur-vive in the conflict with whatever comes between him and victory. The life of the man who would "fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer," testifies that the aspirant must try to imitate that in Grant which, in vulgar parlance, we call' 'sticktoitiveness.'' He must have a spirit of assiduity. Pluck cannot get along with-out Plod. Those who have become eminent have done so because they have hung to their purpose till triumph has crowned their persistence. Sir Isaac Newton, although met by what would seem to most men an impassable barrier, worked on for thirteen years before he was able to give the world the correct theory of gravity. The pursuit of success is up-hill work and a halt on the slope is fatal. Not one of the world's great men would have been able to survive the friction of ever-appearing hindrances, without this quality of persistency. Neither can any others who lack it hope to appear among the fittest. "Eternal vigilance is the price of success." It was on this principle that Mark Twain worked while becoming famous as a Mississippi River pilot, and later, while rising to his present lit-erary status. He himself testifies to the importance of this trait, when he gives this advice: "I say, young man, put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket \" We must "Stop, look and listen !" for the multifarious dangers we are liable to en-counter. It was the "Father of the New York Tribune" who turned failure into success by following the principle he himself puts forth in these words: "Do the very best you can where you are!" Concentration and thoroughness have marked the lives of those we desire to emulate. We have all made a practice of doing one thing at a time, and doing that well. It was John Wanamaker who once wheeled the delivery barrow of a dry-goods firm through the streets of Philadelphia; and he did it well, too. Concentrated effort in one direction led him finally to make for us an excellent Post-Master-General. And we also can follow his plan and rise. Close attention to little things enabled Watt to notice and use the principle he saw in the movement of his mother's tea-kettle as the means whereby his steam-engine could be impelled. It is of little things the big are made. Nothing we see or experience is too small to receive attention. Andrew Carnegie knows all the details of his immense business,—none too small to be important \ i ■ I i 142 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY to him. Nor must the youth who would succeed act differently from those whose fitness to rise included attention to little things. The best recommendation for the importance of a good educa-tion comes from those who have never had this advantage. Lin-coln's life-long regret was that he had not had a college education, and it limited his powers in many directions. However, self-taught men like he was have managed to climb the steep and reach the level of greatness without it. But just as one member of the body becomes stronger when its mate is injured, so such men, in the absence of higher education, have developed a substitute in the shape of great common sense. This we must have, or our fit-ness to survive the impositions of more shrewd men is impaired All these principles, and many, many others under which great men have worked, we must adopt if we want to aim at true great-ness. However, all cannot reach the topmost places. But an honest attempt to make the conditions in our lives conform to those manifested in the lives of successful men, will, at least, en-able us to rise far above mediocrity. Just as mountain peaks are formed of material most suitable to stand the wear and tear of ages, so must we young men be made of such stuff as will help us to throw off, without injury, those things which would keep us down, and rise till we attract the no-tice and elicit the worthy commendation of our fellows. Yet, let us not forget that the principle of the survival of the fittest extends farther than we have mentioned. For, away back, twenty centuries ago, there appeared a Great Man, a Model such as we find nowhere among the thousands of earthly great. He is the fittest and His survival is everlasting. Would we survive all the ills of this life, would we be classed among the truly fit, would we attain to higher praise than men can give,—heavenly praise ? Ifso, let us emulate him, the Model of all models, the Ideal! Then can we be like Him and join Him in the eternal survival of the fittest. "How void of reason are our hopes and fears 1 What in the conduct of our life appears So well designed, so luckily begun, But when we have our wish, we wish undone." DRYDHN. THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 143 MAN WAS NOT MADE TO MOURN J. B. BAKER, '01 [Gies Prize Essay—Second Prize] OOBERT BURNS is the author of a varied and numerous array A * of beautiful poems. As a song writer he is the world's greatest. As rusticity's artist he ranks well with Shakespeare. His heart was great and his genius commensurate, winging its way to loftiest heights and recognizing the meanest things. He has been called the most directly inspired of all the poets. While the fame of other immortals rests upon the matured product of a life study, his finds its basis in the product of an hour. He goes out into the couutr)', disturbs a field mouse and ad-dresses it on the spot in quaint poetic style. A limping hare, a bank of flowers, a winding brook, a chilly blast, a neighbor's weal, a neighbor's woe, all appealed to his sensitive nature and won immediate response in verse. Such an one, however great he be, is in danger. Second thoughts, even in a Shakespeare, are preferable and it is neither a reflection upon the author nor a mark of conceit upon anyone to deferentially differ from him in a passing thought or hastily written verse. Burns said, "Man was made to Mourn.'.' The poem is sub-lime in its pathos but false, we believe, in sentiment. It shows the leaden sky but not the bow of promise. To study the end to which man was made we must ask time to turn backward in her flight for a moment or two and bring up the past. Oliver Wendell Holmes said we ought to begin a man's biog-raphy one hundred years before he is born. We would begin with generic man already when the idea of his creation was first formulated in the Divine Mind, for the idea of creation and the object of existence must have been coeval. They are concomitant notions and of a twin birth. What then was the mood of that pregnant mind at the event-ful date ? That question answered and our query is practically solved, for created things invariably bear the marks of their Creator. The readers of the world know the character and object of a literary production of a known author, before they open the book. They would not expect the sweet placid flow of an Irving from I I 144 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY the rough and rugged Cooper. Nor would they hope to hear the strains of Whittier coming from Virgil's lyre. Neither could have produced the works of the other. Their gems, in prose and song, were merely the externalization of their own minds and they could not have written otherwise because they could not have externalized that which had not already had an anterior internal existence. Precisely so, in our crude, fragmentary, symbolic fashion must we conceive of the Alpha of all reality. We are wooed to believe that everything in this central universe bears marks of kinship with Him, and particularly do we believe it to be true of man. We are like Him. Is He glad or is He sad? Does He mourn? That is the question upon the solution of which depends the pur-posed end of man's existence. To attempt an answer to a question like that, however, involv-ing as it does, eons of time and a Being unfathomable, might ap-pear a bit presumptuous, but a little reflection will prove the con-trary. We cannot escape it. The question abides with us through every period of our rational life. It presses upon us as atmos-pheric air upon our frames. It fills the human mind as star dust fills the sky. We must think of God, but without attributes that is impossible. What then are the qualities discoverable in his na-ture to give us an antecedent probability that man was made to mourn? Those qualities discoverable by us and those recognized by ages before us are wisdom, power and goodness and these in an unlimited degree. The gradual unfolding of orderly arrangement, hitherto unknown, reveals the wisdom. The spangled robe of night reveals the power. While the goodness, as for it, it shines from His very nature as light from the noon-day sun. How One possessed at once of Omniscience, Omnipotence and Infinite Benevolence could ever be sad and in mourning is beyond the grasp of human reason. Mourning implies regret at something that has happened and surely nothing could grieve Him who had the ability and fore-sight to avert the offending cause. Mourning is incompatible with the idea of Divinity as held by the majority of men to-day. But some are disposed to call these qualities into question. Not a few thinkers of eminent ability and indubitable integrity find themselves unable to predicate them of Him. I | El l SOME IMPORTANT DEDUCTIONS FROM A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MYTHOLOGIES C M. A. STINE, '01 [Gies Prize Essay—Third Prize] THE meaning of the word mythology is, literally, a treatise of *■ myths, or a writing composed of a number of fables. The term is applicable to the writings descriptive of ancient systems of religious beliefs, their various deities, and the attributes and the relations of these deities. Just as the child peoples the world about it with fairies both good and evil in their intentions toward human beings, so in a somewhat similar manner, the early races personified the phenom-ena of nature and sought to render intelligible the workings of nature thrust upon them for explanation, and which were to them otherwise inexplicable. Out of these explanations arose the vast bodies of legends descriptive of the various deities, their origin, adventures, attributes and relations. These personifications of nature with their body of attendant prerogatives arose from two principal causes: the necessity of pro-viding a cause for an observed effect, and the necessity of supply-ing a want felt in every human soul. Every human soul feels the need of a deity upon which to rest its faith and to whom it may look for aid. Whether the production is evolved by the human soul without a divine revelation does not concern us at present. To arrive at some explanation of the nature of the world, and the operation of those natural laws otherwise unintelligible, as well as of his own genesis, man invented the host of gods and demi-gods. The higher attributes ascribed to the divinities—their more purely spiritual qualities, arose out of man's need. Man is con- 148 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY scious of those forces which we call good and evil. He realizes the constant antagonism between the two, and the ethical super-iority of the former. He feels that according to his sense of jus-tice good should be rewarded and evil punished; yet his experience teaches him that such is not always the case. Hence there arises a feeling of the need of some force which may be supernatural, and which will reconcile the apparent contradictions, and fill the hiatus which is felt to exist. Thus there is the necessity of a god and a future existence. The study of ancient mythology with a comparison of the dif-ferent systems, serves a number of purposes. We gain a knowl-edge of the varying degrees of complexity of the different systems of belief, the height of their spiritual conceptions, and their degree of knowledge of the true God—that is their relation to Monothe-ism, the resemblance of the different creeds in the attributes as-cribed to the different divinities, and the similarity in their names. First. We may judge of the character and location of the people—whether agricultural, pastoral, commercial, peaceful or warlike, inland or maritime; and as to the climatic conditions, and natural features of the territory occupied. Secondly. We may judge as to the degree of civilization at-tained. An enumeration of what is included in the term civil-ization may be in place. By civilization we mean the knowledge of the arts and sciences, mechanical and political; also the degree of purity of religious conception. Upon the true or erroneous ideas of God depends man's treatment of his fellow-man, his real-ization of the principles of universal brotherhood, and divine fatherhood, and all the altruistic impulses. There is certainly but little civilization where these latter are lacking, and upon the extent of the realization and adoption of these principles depends the greater or less degree of excellence to which a civilization may lay claim. Thirdly. A comparison of these systems affords a means whereby the knowledge of the common origin of various branches of the human family may be gained. In our consideration of ancient mythology, the chief form of belief to which we wish to devote our attention is that held by the Indo-Germanic family. The systems of mythology which we shall briefly study, are those of the Greeks, latins, Norse and THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 149 Old Germans, Hindoos and Egyptians, as affording the best illus-tration of the principles enumerated. The system of mythology held and constructed by the Greeks is the one of which the most complete knowledge is attainable, excepting perhaps that of the Latins. But the resemblance be-tween these two is close, and the Greek may be taken as typical. Upon these, therefore, we shall base our conclusions. A study of Greek mythology reveals the following as to the character of the people, their location, and the climatic conditions of the territory occupied. The Greeks were an imaginative people, judging from the vast collection of myths relating to their deities, their doings among men. Every tree, blade of grass, fountain, streamlet and river; every breeze that blew and every raging storm, had its own particular presiding spirit. Gods, demigods, nymphs, satyrs, dryads and hamadryads are multiplied without number. The stories of the gods based upon nature, are given a vast body of detail, and an amount of local coloring which displays the workings of a national imagination of great activity and scope. The race seems also to have been somewhat mercurial in tem-perament. All of the earlier races are susceptible to changes in the seasons, and to the alternations of day and night, but the Greeks were particularly so. The approach of spring was heralded with the most extravagant rejoicings and sacrifices to various gods, especially to Dionysos. From the character of the deities worshiped they must have been a people engaged in pastoral, agricultural and commercial pursuits. We arrive at this conclusion because the people wor-shiped deities who were presumed to have the care of shepherds and their flocks, of farmers and their harvests, and of sailors. Some of the gods are themselves shepherds. Apollo is so repre-sented, although his flock is made up of the clouds in the fields of ether. Demeter is the goddess of the harvests. Hermes is the guardian of the sailor. The Greeks were extremely careful to preserve the favor of their gods, and maintained their sanctity to the last of their na-tional existence. They are extremely afraid of offending their deities, and must have been an exceedingly pious people. But all their piety did little for their morals. In all their business trans-actions we have evidence that they were a lying and a tricky I ; 'f. 150 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY i people. Hermes, the god of liars, the protector of the knave, was greatly venerated. From what we have already said we would infer that the land of the Greeks was suitable for the pasturing of flocks and for the cultivation of the vine. Wewouldalso infer thatit was contiguous to the ocean. It must also have been alandsubject to the change of the seasons, for we have already seen that the festivals com-memorating the change of times and seasons, formed a part of his worship. That he made much of physical excellence is evident from the fact that he prayed often to a god whose chiefprerogativewasthe care of the athlete. Mythology and history are heartily agreed upon this point. He was evidently highly intellectual and capable of abstract thought; for he worshiped a goddess who was the personification of mind and intellectuality. Her attributes are those of mind and she is above the physical desires and passions that enslave. From this recounting of the physical enviroment and the in-tellectual attainment of the Greek we can readily determine the degree of civilization attained. We admit right here that myth-ology is not our only source of information, but we do maintain that we can determine the degree of civilization from the mythol-ogy of the people. Because the Greek engaged in commerce he came in contact with other nations, and thus acquired a knowledge of their arts and sciences. The Greek had his organized household, and was far in ad-vance of the wandering tribe; but not one of his deities is repre-sented as presiding over domestic life. The L,atins with their Lares and Penates, seem to come much nearer to the conception of our modern home. The number of muses presiding over the various forms of lit-erary composition, and the completeness of attributes, together with the veneration in which they were held, indicate literature to have been one of the chief pursuits of the people. The high degree of excellence attained in this respect confirms our position. The degree of his intellectuality is evinced in his conception of the goddess Athene. Then, too, if there had been no artists and sculptors there would have been no deities to inspire that class of men. The same may be said of government and the deities that preside over magistrates. ta THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 151 The worship of a deity supposed to aid in the right government of a state, and to have the oversight of the fulfillment of the ends of justice presupposes a well organized system of government. All this is indicative of the degree of civilization of a people. But all these things are the mere externalities, the polish of civilization rather than the vital principle. Civilization of the heart, that is purity of life and worship, are the fundamental prin-ciples of civilization, and these are attained or not attained accord-ing to the character of the conception of the one true God. It is uncertain in how far the Greek attained to the idea of one God. Very high attributes and lofty conceptions were had by the Greeks, of divinity. This is plainly shown by attributes assigned to their different divinites. In a few cases Zeus is represented as exercis-ing a sort of supreme power over the other gods, which somewhat approaches the conception of the Bible of God and the angels as ministering spirits. As already stated, the Greek was pious in the extreme. His life was one of constant anxiety lest he offend, voluntary or involuntary, some one ofhis numerous deities. The names he applies to his deities are not those which would be ap-plied by a loving creature to a gracious Creator. In Aeschylus we find the words: "Zeus, wherever thou art, by whatever name it please thee to be named, I call on thee and pray." The Greeks made a constant effort to flatter and propitiate the gods, who were regarded as enemies of human happiness. Prob-ably the only god whom the Greeks truly loved was Dionysos. He was thought to rejoice in the happiness of men, and to his worship, in the festivals, the Greek surrendered himself with de-light. He was probably the only deity whom they worshipped from motives of affection rather than fear. Whilst many of the stories related of the various deities are incompatible with our conception of God; it must nevertheless be remembered that many of these stories are mere allegories created to typify and explain analogous happenings in nature. Thus they lose their revolting character. For a long time this was remem-bered by the worshipper himself, but it is feared that in later national history the Greek often gave himself up to excesses under the impression of divine sanction. Whilst many of the stories of the deities are revolting, many are very beautiful, and come close to the Christian conception of right conduct. Therefore there must i 152 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 1 i have existed a high ethical conception in the souls of many. But these conceptions are, after all, the exception and not the rule. The Greek's conception of life was largely fatalistic. Ananka, Necessity, loomed as a vast incontrovertible force from whose decrees there could be no escape. When a crime of any sort was committed the Erynys dogged the unhappy perpetrator with an awful insistence, and at some time, sooner or later, the crime was avenged. The conception of the hereafter as imagined by the Greek was gloom}' in the extreme. The spirit of the ordinary mortal passed at death to a domain of dimmest twilight, to the land of Hades. Here the shadow of the body lived an existence surrounded by in-tangible spectres, in the gloom of the mighty underworld. Only the souls of heroes and those semi-divine beings who were espe-cially, favored of the gods attained the happiness of the sunlit Elysian fields. The soul of the criminal passed to a region beneath Hades, to Tartaros, a place of torment and woe. The immortality of the soul held no joy to the mind of the Greek. His mythology gives us no reason to believe that he had the slightest conception of a hereafter portrayed in the bible. This affords us a complete understanding of the Greek mind. Polished in intellect, beautiful in body, in many ways possessing a refined nature, yet in this one essential the civilization of the Greek fell short. Self-sacrifice and unselfish devotion, whilst here and there in his mythology dimly hinted at, yet to the mass of the nation unknown, never animated the every-day life of the Greek. Thus in this cursory glance at the Greek nature we have pointed out the application of the first two principles enunciated at the beginning of this paper; but these same principles are equally well illustrated in the mythology of other peoples. Whilst our knowledge of the Norse and old German Mythol-ogies is much less complete, since the people were not literary, and preserved their traditions largely in memory and not in books, yet this mythology upon examination, is found to yield the same results as the Grecian. The conception of the god Odin for in-stance, shows the same conformity and coloring which that of the Greek Zeus exhibits. We cannot in this article enter into a de-tailed description of the mythology of the Latins, the Norse and old German, the Hindoo and the Egyptian, yet they all equally THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 153 well serve to show the condition of the peoples who originated them. Let us now pass to the third fact, namely, that by a considera-tion of the mythologies of the peoples a knowledge of their common origin is obtained. No student of mythology will deny that in all the religious beliefs of the different nations there is a certain similarity. The Aztec system with the great god at the head and with its crowd of lesser deities, the North American Indians' conception of the Great Spirit with the host of lesser deities, in common with the nations of the Indo-Germanic family, had a degree of resemblance in the wider facts of their mythologies. The consideration of the conceptions of belief and worship of all the peoples and nations we have studied drives us to the conclusion that these peoples had a common origin. Let us glance at a few of the more marked resemblances which appear. Odin of the Norse, Zeus of the Greeks, Jupiter of the Latins, and Atmer of the Hin-doo- Brahmin systems are all alike personifications of the life-giv-ing properties of the air of heaven. The Egyptian system seems to be much farther advanced at the period with which our record begins, than the other systems enumerated. In fact it had reached a more metaphysical development. Consequently there is greater difficulty in the comparison of the Egyptian conception with the others, but in this system we notice the same overlapping of the attributes of one deity with those of another, and in some degree, an identity of attributes. Zeus is the father of the muses and Odin is the father of Saga, the goddess of poetry. Thor or Donar, another Norse divinity, is the god of thunder. As the god of thunder he resembles Zeus, and as the thunder bolts of Zeus were forged by the smith-god Hephaestus, who dwelt below ground, so the hammer of Thor was forged by the dwarves (Zwerge), or black elves who dwelt within the earth. Thor and Odin are identified with one another much the same as Vishnu and Indra in the Hindoo system. Thor and Vishnu go on foot to the councils of the gods. Vishnu is represented as traversing heaven in three strides. The Norse god, Tyr, is a personification of the brightness of the heavens. He is also named Zui and Saxuot. Here there appears a striking resemblance in names. Zui is iden-tical with the root meaning to shine. Sanscrit, Dyaus, the Greek Zeus, the Latin, Deus. Among the Vedic gods, Dyaus is the god of the shining heavens in the same way as Zeus of the Greeks. 154 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY Dyaus-pater is the same as Jupiter, the dy being displaced by the J in the L,atin. Indra, of the Hindoos, who hurls the thunder-bolts, and is "the cloud compeller," corresponds in these func-tions with Zeus and Thor. His beard of lightning is the red beard of Thor. The goddess Ushas is the goddess of dawn among the Vedic deities. She corresponds to the Greek Eos. We notice the striking similarity between the two words, indicating deriva-tion from a common root. Thus we might go on multiplying in-stances and giving examples of this similarity. The attributes of the Egyptian deities are to a large extent interchangeable with those of the Greeks and the Norse. The Egyptian conceptions are arrived at by the same personifications of the powers of nature, and in their attributes represent the same mingling of the mater-ial with the spiritual, as do the Grecian, I,atin, Norse and Hindoo. They all represent the occurrences of nature under similar anal-ogies of deeds performed by the divinities. Their names have similar physical meanings. For in the resemblance thus illus-trated and existing to a much greater degree than we can stop to point out, we derived unquestionable proof of identity in the origin of these peoples. It is probable from the very close simil-arity of the I^atin and the Greek systems, that these two nations were less widely separated after the first division than were the other nations, or else that the separation of these two branches took place at some time after the original body had divided and migrated to different points of the compass. From this hasty glance at a few of the ancient systems ot mythology and a review of a number of their points ofresemblance, we obtain an idea of the vast importance which this study may assume. In conclusion we must remark what is palpable to every stu-dent of mythology, that the Christian religion could never have been evolved out of these systems. In its sweet simplicity, its purity and truth, it over-reaches all others in their utmost stretch. Of a truth there is no god but God, and no revelation but the bible. There is a majesty in simplicity which is far above the quaint-ness of wit.—Pope. THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 155 THE THUNDER STORM C. W. WEISER, '01 [Gies Prize Essay—Honorable Mention] Upon a sultry August noon The scorching sun came beating down, And all was wrapt in smoky haze Swelt'ring 'neath the withering rays. Above the rugged mountain brink Arose a cloud as black as ink; Dark and motionless it loomed, As if the peak itself were doomed To bear the threat'ning, murky mass, Towering o'er the narrow pass. Then arose a sullen roar, A sudden rush and down it bore Along its path, As tho' in wrath It meant to take, To bend, or break; Destruction carry, Doom, or harry. Now on its course, In mutterings hoarse, It came with rumble Loud, and grumble. A peal, a mutter, A flash and flutter, And on it swept with dire confusion, And in its wake in swift profusion Came other clouds as swift, now dark, Then livid with old Vulcan's spark. Thro' the whirling and the roar Now the rain began to pour In torrents loud upon the roof, And the pine-tree tops aloof, Dashing 'gainst the shanty walls In a way that most appalls, Beating loudly oh the pane Were the dashing drops of rain. Flash of lightning Heavens bright'ning, Peals of thunder Fill with wonder. Crash ! we hear the loud report, Crash ! returns the dread retort. Heavens lighten, splinters flying 156 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY From the mighty trees outlying ! Crash ! Flash ! Flash ! Crash I Rumble ! Roar! Crash ! Flash ! Hurling death and doom, destruction— Crash ! Flash ! in loud convulsion— Upon the forest, peaks disheveled, Rain-tossed, sighing, lowly leveled; Filling all with consternation At this freak of old creation. Flash !—growing dimmer its existence. Crash !—a pealing now in distance. Rumble, rumble, roar and rumble, Mutterings dull and muffled grumble; Rumble, rumble, rumble, roar, Down the dell, the mountains o'er. Gently now the rain is pattering, On the roof and windows clattering, While below the brook is gushing, Muddy wild and roaring, rushing. Clouds are flying, sky is clearing, The storm has passed, and sun appearing Smiles upon the world again Thro' the crystal drops of rain. i A populous solitude of bees and birds, And fairy-form'd and many colored things, Who worship him with notes more sweet than words, And innocently open their glad wings. Fearless and full of life, the gushing springs And fall of lofty fountains, and the bend Of stirring branches, and the bud which brings The swiftest thought of beauty, here extend, Mingling and made by love unto one mighty end. —BYRON.

MULLEN, '01 "PAR from me and my friends be such frigid philosophy as may ■*• conduct us indifferent, and unmoved, over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery or virtue. That man is little to be admired whose patriotism would not gain force on the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of Ionia." These noble words from the pen of Dr. Johnson express a sen-timent that ought to find a response in the heart of every Ameri-can citizen. We cannot visit the spots forever hallowed by the valorous deeds of enduring worth, wrought by the makers of our early history, without a sense of gratitude and profound reverence. To dwell upon such a theme without a thrill of emotion, would augur a spirit undeserving of the great legacy bequeathed to us by those venerable personages of the past. If the Greek could boast of an illustrious ancestry we can boast more; if the Roman could linger at the forum to hear the orators lavish their loftiest flights of eloquence upon the rising glory of the "eternal city," we may declare with great emphasis that its ■ 160 THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY splendor grows dim before the rising sun of our national glory, as the moon pales with the advancing day. No other nation has had such a beginning. The early history of every other great nation has a vague outline that marks its transition from lawlessness and barbarism to civilization, but America, comparatively speaking, sprung into being full grown, as "Athena from the brow of Zeus." We are alone among the nations of the earth in having such colossal founders. We need only mention the Pilgrim Fathers, and there is suggested a host of associations. At what a critical period in the world's history did they appear! They shattered the power of a dominant ecclesiasticism and gave to the world re-ligious freedom. We see them committing themselves in a frail bark to a "cruel, crawling sea," uncertain whether they should not all begin their long sleep, and fill a "wandering grave" beneath its restless bil-lows, before they should set foot on American soil. But, guided by their adored Jehovah, through the trackless waters, they at length disembark upon a rock on a desolate shore, and we hear their com-mingled prayers of gratitude break the monotonous voice of the sea. From this rock they go forth to sow the seeds of a mighty nation. We hear the blows of their axes against the primeval forest, ringing out on the frosty air like the pealing of liberty bells. In the light of their burning villages we see a band of savages danc-ing in taunting glee. With unabated zeal they resurrect another village from the ashes. From a miserly soil is forced, by untiring energy, a comfortable livelihood, and the "wilderness blossoms as the rose." A noted statesman has fittingly said: "We shall not stand unmoved on the shore of Plymouth while the sea con-tinues to wash it, nor will our brethren in future time forget the place of the nation's establishment till their river shall cease to flow by it. No vigor of youth, no maturity of age will lead the nation to forget the spots where its infancy was cradled and de-fended." The years of our nation's infancy were truly the most "sad and sublime'' in history. We have dwelt at some length upon the achievements of the Pilgrim Fathers because their deeds are the best interpreters of their character. It is a noteworthy fact, much to the credit of the Pilgrims, that they were the first colonists with sufficient "staying power" THE GETTYSBURG MERCURY 161 to establish a permanent colony in North America. Repeated efforts had been made in Mexico and in Florida, by the Spaniards, but those colonists had as often retreated in the face of unexpected difficulties, without accomplishing anything except the squander-ing of the resources of the borne government. France, likewise, had been unsuccessful for several reasons, chiefly because of the temper of her colonists. Several companies of English colonists also had attempted to take up land in the New World, but had repeatedly failed. It remained for the Pilgrims to be the honored founders of our great Republic, and their final success is fraught with great significance. They were constituted of ' 'sterner stuff'' than their predecessors and had an unchangeable purpose to prod their spirits in the presence of discouragement. To them physical pain was decidedly preferable to spiritual bondage, and they suffered on, unflinchingly, uncomplainingly, to the bitter end. "Religious Liberty" were the two words emblazoned upon the banner of the Pilgrims, and many times were those words des-tined to be written in blood before that banner was to be free from assault. They had, however, one harbor to which they repaired in every time of storm, one fortress in time of danger, one harbinger of hope in time of gloom, one source of truth amid the duplicity of oppressive and corrupt governors—the Bible, from which they received iron into their blood. This book was the Pilgrim's hope, his song, his prayer, his guide. The Old Testament, with its honor roll of immortal heroes, furnished the Pilgrims an ideal for their conduct in persecution and trial. The New Testament was the eternal pledge of final victory, an unfailing reward, an un-fading crown. The Puritans were characterized by a total lack of effeminacy. Their character was sturdy and masculine. No amusements were tolerated that had a tendency to destroy the severity and intensity of life. Severely religious, strict to a degree of intolerance, sternly resolute, stubbornly persistent, implicitly obedient to the dictates of conscience, the Puritans exhibit a massiveness and rugged grandeur of character that has never been surpassed. They were men of unblemished integrity, as distinguished for private pur-ity as for public virtue.'' We have never contemplated a group of men whose faults were so few, whose virtues so many, whose honor was so stainless, whose characters were so untarnished, as Stationery, Blank Books, Amateur Pho-tographic Supplies, Etc., Etc.

The objective is to encourage regulations that are designed to be efficient, accessible to all who use them and simple in their implementation. Where regulation is burdensome and competition limited, success tends to depend on whom one knows. But where regulation is efficient, transparent and implemented in a simple way, it becomes easier for aspiring entrepreneurs to compete on an equal footing and to innovate and expand. In this sense Doing Business values good rules as a key to social inclusion. Enabling growth, and ensuring that all people, regardless of income level, can participate in its benefits, requires an environment where new entrants with drive and good ideas can get started in business and where good firms can invest and grow, thereby creating more jobs. Doing Business was designed with 2 main types of users in mind: policy makers and researchers. Doing Business is a tool that governments can use to design sound policies for the creation of firms and jobs. But this tool should not be used in isolation. Doing Business provides a rich opportunity for benchmarking by capturing key dimensions of regulatory regimes. Nevertheless, the Doing Business data are limited in scope and should be complemented with other sources of information.

Sullivan Plaques and Awards IV. The Leonor K. Sullivan Collection V. List of Subject Headings LEONOR K. SULLIVAN Leonor K. Sullivan, the first woman from Missouri to serve in the United States House of Representatives, was born Leonor Alice Kretzer, August 21, 1902, in St. Louis. She attended public and private schools in St. Louis, including Washington University. Prior to her marriage, Mrs. Sullivan pursued a business career and eventually became the director of the St. Louis Comptometer School. She married Missouri Congressman John B. Sullivan on December 27, 1941, and served as his administrative assistant and campaign manager until his death in January, 1951. Following her husband's death, Mrs. Sullivan unsuccessfully attempted to win the local Democratic party's nomination to succeed Congressman Sullivan in the special election. The seat was lost to a Republican candidate. In 1952, Leonor K. Sullivan running on her own, without party support, defeated six opponents in the primary election to become the Democratic nominee for the Third Congressional District. In the general election, she defeated her Republican opponent and recaptured the seat once held by her husband. Mrs. Sullivan represented the Third Congressional District until her retirement in 1976. While in Congress, Leonor K. Sullivan was known as a champion of consumer issues and she had a key role in enacting legislation to improve the quality of food. The Poultry Inspection Law and the Food Additives Act are just two of her important triumphs. As chairman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Mrs. Sullivan was responsible for the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, which included the Truth in Lending Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970. Mrs. Sullivan also authored the original food stamp plan to distribute government surplus food to the needy and she worked to solve the housing problems in our cities. At the time of her retirement, she was the senior member of the House Committee on Banking, Currency, and Housing. She was a member of the National Commission on Food Marketing, 1964-66; the National Commission on Mortgage Interest Rates, 1969; the National Commission on Consumer Finance, 1969-72; and she helped found the Consumer Federation of America in 1966. Mrs. Sullivan served as chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Her support of the American Merchant Marine earned her the American Maritime Industry's Admiral of the Ocean Seas Award (AOTOS) in 1973. The men and women who served in the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine continuously honored Mrs. Sullivan for her support, understanding, and dedication. Always active in waterways projects, she fought to allow the 51 year old DELTA QUEEN to continue as an overnight excursion vessel. Mrs. Sullivan's work as chairman of the Subcommittee on Panama was especially important as she became involved with the political, economic, and social challenges of the Canal Zone and the people who lived and worked there. Leonor K. Sullivan worked hard for St. Louis. She sponsored legislation to fund the development of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial on the St. Louis Riverfront, to keep St. Louis a well managed port city on the Mississippi trade route, and to preserve the buildings so important to the history and heritage of St. Louis. Wharf Street has been renamed Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard to honor her support of the Gateway Arch project and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Following her retirement, Mrs. Sullivan returned to her river bluff home which overlooked the Mississippi River. She remained active in civic affairs, serving on numerous boards and committees. She became a director of Southwest Bank, chairman of the Consumer Advisory Council to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a member of the Board of Directors of Downtown St. Louis, Inc., a member of the Lay Advisory Board of Mount St. Rose Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, and she sponsored a consumer award program through the Better Business Bureau. Mrs. Sullivan was always in demand as a featured speaker at business, educational, and social functions. In 1980, Mrs. Sullivan married Russell L. Archibald, a retired vice president of the American Furnace Company. Mr. Archibald died March 19, 1987. Leonor K. Sullivan died, in St. Louis, on September 1, 1988.

SULLIVAN COLLECTION Before her retirement, Leonor K. Sullivan made arrangements to donate her congress ional papers, correspondence, and memorabilia to St. Louis University Law Library. Mrs. Sullivan chose St. Louis University Law Library because her husband, Congressman John B. Sullivan (1897 -1951 ), was a graduate of the law school, having received his LL. B. degree in 1922, and his LL. M. degree in 1923. In 1965, Mrs. Sullivan founded a scholarship at St. Louis University for young women interested in studying political science. The collection covers Mrs. Sullivan's 24 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and is arranged according to her own subject headings. In this way, the materials provide insight into the way her office files and correspondence were organized. Mrs. Sullivan was known as one of the hardest working members of Congress and the wealth of materials in her collection attests to this. She had a tremendous concern for the average American family and much of her work dealt with their needs. Mrs. Sullivan often said the · best legislative ideas came from constituents, so she read every letter ever sent to her. Not only did she learn how the voters felt about current issues, but where there were problems which needed to be current issues. Papers from Leonor K. Sullivan's years as a member of the House Merchant Marine Committee and the Banking and Currency Committee provide background information for much of the legislation proposed during the period. Mrs. Sullivan was known as a consumer advocate long before such a position was popular and her efforts to improve the quality of food, drugs, and cosmetics are well documented. Materials are also available on Mrs. Sullivan's struggle for credit protection for the consumer, truth-in-lending, and fair credit reporting. Mrs. Sullivan was a strong supporter of the American Merchant Marine, the U.S. supervision of the Panama Canal, and the development of America's inland waterways. Her collection includes in-depth information on all these areas. Local St. Louis concerns are well represented in Leonor K. Sullivan's papers. She spent untold hours on the development of the Gateway Arch, the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, and the port of St. Louis. She worked hard to maintain and increase the river traffic which is so important to St. Louis. After her retirement, Mrs. Sullivan continued to receive letters from former constituents and friends. She was active in civic affairs and her opinion on current issues was frequently solicited. The collection includes newspaper clippings, letters, and personal materials from this post-retirement period. Persons interested in using the Leonor K. Sullivan Collection should contact Joanne C. Vogel or Eileen H. Searls at St. Louis University Law Library, (314)658-2755. Written requests for information may be sent to: St. Louis University Law Library Leonor K.
