With the entry of 10 new member countries to the European Union in May 2004 the mining industry is becoming more important in EU than it was earlier, in particular during the EU 12 days. The mining industry in general is still suffering from a poor image in Europe, particularly among the administration in the European Commission in Brussels. With the current boom in the global mining industry and the possibility of combining the interests of the industry in all the 25 member countries there is a window of opportunity to improve the standing of the industry in Brussels. ; Vstupem 10 nových členských zemí do EU v květnu 2004 se stal báňský průmysl v EU mnohem významnějším než dříve, zejména v době, kdy Společenství zahrnovalo 12 členů. Báňský průmysl v Evropě stále trpí špatnou pověstí, zejména mezi členy Evropské komise v Bruselu. Při současné konjunktuře světového hornictví a možnosti kombinace zájmů průmyslu ve všech 25 členských zemích EU existuje příležitost zlepšit postavení báňského průmyslu v Bruselu.

The recent global COVID-19 pandemic forced most of governments in developed countries to introduce severe measures limiting people mobility freedom in order to contain the infection spread. Consequently, working from home (WFH) procedures became of great importance for a large part of employees, since they represent the only option to both continue working and keep staying home. Based on influence function regression methods, our paper explores the role of WFH attitude across labour income distribution in Italy. Results show that increasing WFH attitudes of occupations would lead to a rise of wage inequality among Italian employees. Specifically, a change from low to high WFH attitude would determine a 10% wage premium on average and even higher premiums (+17%) in top deciles of wage distribution. A possible improvement of occupations WFH attitude tends to benefit male, older and high-paid employees, as well as those living in provinces more affected by the novel coronavirus.

<div><p><em>The economic importance of stock market results from marketability which is increased or increasing resulting from quotation of shares from a stock exchange. Stock Indices attracts most of the investors and volatile to market conditions which affects the return of the investors. The primary objective of the paper is to study the effect of macroeconomic factors on NIFTY secondly to analyse and check the stationarity among various economic indicators and Nifty and thirdly to judge the best model for estimating the nifty. The methodology applied for the study is analytical and an econometric tool like ADF test, ARDL, Pairwise granger causality test and VAR is applied for regressing the index. The Variables was stationary at first order of difference for the nifty to regress for future period which aids investors in decision making.</em></p></div>

Metadata only record ; Market-based approaches to environmental management are increasingly common in all sectors of the economy. Forestry is no exception. Governments around the world have opened the door to private sector participation in all aspects of forestry, typically involving the use of market-based instruments to guide private investment. Of the many tools available to policymakers, by far the most ambitious is the development of markets for previously non-traded forest environmental services, such as recreation, carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and watershed protection. However, little guidance is available on the mechanics of developing and managing markets, or on how to ensure that new markets are equitable as well as efficient. This report sheds new light on the issues through a global review of emerging markets based on 287 cases from both developed and developing countries. ; PES-1 (Payments for Environmental Services Associate Award)

It seems obvious to say that research can provide benefits to multiple stakeholders and that stakeholder involvement is more often than not essential for research to proceed. Concrete examples of these mutual dependencies are valuable, where industry, government agencies and biological studies increase each others' potential and efficiencies. In the past 20 years the number of subterranean taxa discovered in Australia, especially in the Pilbara bioregion, has increased consistently thanks to environmental and biological surveys, often associated with mining development, but the investment on research needed to understand this vast biodiversity is far from what is required. The family Bathynellidae (Crustacea) occur in most Australian aquifers, but collecting them is not simple and their study and identification are very difficult due to their small and fragile bodies and their conservative morphology. Additionally, the poor and incomplete description of the type genus and species of this family (Bathynella natans Vejdovsky, 1882) have led to the assignment of many species occurring around the world, including Australia, to this genus. The taxonomic framework is therefore not well defined and their biodiversity and distribution assessments needed by government agencies become challenging. This research started with a collaboration with different environmental consultants who provided a conspicuous number of specimens collected through several years, which allowed an accurate analysis of specific aquifers. Studies of Bathynellidae populations occurring in different areas produced results useful to inform mining companies on species distribution and groundwater connectivity, underling the importance of cooperation among stakeholders. Morphological and molecular data reveal new genera and species with fascinating relationships, and the collection of some fresh material from type localities belonging to Bathynella clarifies the position of this "cosmopolitan" genus. This example demonstrates (again) the value of ...
