Assessing macroeconomic effects of monetary policy in Ukraine

The paper highlights the important problem of the impact of monetary policy on macroeconomic indicators in Ukraine and analyzes the global experience of the implementation of monetary policy to achieve stable projections of economic growth. The authors review the basic opinions of researchers studying monetary policy and its impact on the equilibrium between income and balance of payments. A comparative analysis was made for the growth rates of money supply and monetization for industrial countries and transitional economies. The authors carry out an empirical estimation to assess the dependence of industrial production, total exports and technological exports on monetary factor and exchange rate using two-stage least squares model (2SLS) and vector autoregression with error correction (VECM). The main research findings include: devaluation of the hryvnia does not serve as a factor of exports stimulation, which largely depends on energy imports; currency devaluation restricts the exports of industrial production. The increase in monetization level of the economy in the short-term period improves the dynamics of industrial output, but, in the long term period, the effect is opposite. Depreciation of national currency negatively impacts the technological exports. On the whole, the authors identify a restrictive impact of the expansion of monetary policy on industrial output, primary exports and technological exports.
Sustainability assessment of the German energy transition

The goal of the energy transition in Germany is to achieve a sustainable supply of energy. Providing advice for decision-makers to either continue the current transition pathway or implement strategic adjustments requires a comprehensive assessment tool. The authors have developed a Sustainability Indicator System (SIS) consisting of 45 indicators to assess if policy measures implemented so far by the Federal Government are appropriate and sufficient to achieve the energy policy targets and, furthermore, the sustainability targets defined for the German energy system. The assessment is carried out applying the SIS. For each indicator, a linear projection was calculated, based on the past 5 years for which data were available, assuming that this trend will continue in a linear way until 2020. Then, the projected value for 2020 resulting from the trend was compared to the political or defined target for 2020. The assessment was based on distance-to-target considerations, i.e. to which degree the set, proposed or desirable target will be met within the framework of the existing energy policy. The results are illustrated using a traffic light colour code. Indicators with less than 5 years of data available were given a white traffic light since no assessment was possible. A profound view on eight selected sustainability indicators that are not already part of the German monitoring process ‘Energy of the Future’ and a comprehensive overview on the sustainability assessment of the German energy system are presented. The results show that 24% of the assessed indicators are rated with a green, 7% with a yellow, 45% with a red and 24% with a white traffic light. This means that it cannot be expected that the sustainability targets defined for the German energy system will be achieved by 2020 without substantial modifications of political strategies and measures implemented so far. The developed SIS is a comprehensive decision support and navigation tool with respect to long-term governance of the German energy transition. It aims to assess and monitor the overall sustainability performance of the energy system, to identify unsustainable energy strategies and measures as well as trade-offs and to evaluate the achievements or failures of policies regarding the energy transition. It can also be adapted to assess the sustainability of the energy systems in other European countries.

Study on the thermodynamics of the gadolinium-hydrogen binary system (H/Gd = 0.0–2.0) and implications to metallic gadolinium purification

Abstract The thermodynamics of the gadolinium-hydrogen (Gd–H) binary system (H/Gd = 0.0–2.0) between 650 and 900 °C is studied by pressure composition isotherm measurement. Significant H dissolution in Gd is observed, up to H/Gd = 0.34 at 650 °C and 0.55 at 900 °C. The metal-rich phase boundary of nonstoichiometric gadolinium dihydride was found to occur with nominal composition of GdH 1.80 at 650 °C and GdH 1.53 at 900 °C. The results are in fairly good agreement with previous experimental work but with improved accuracy. The binary phase diagram is obtained using the CALPHAD method. The thermodynamic study here assists the understanding on the efficient deoxygenation effect by the H in Gd for Gd purification.

Supporting the set-plan implementation plan for offshore wind energy

The SETWind project supports the implementation of the SET-Plan Implementation Plan for Offshore Wind. The proposal has been developed in consultation with the Temporary Working group that authored the Implementation Plan and key stakeholder organisations including ETIPWIND, WindEurope, the EERA Joint Programme for Wind Energy, the IEA Wind TCP and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Petten. 

The SETWind project will update and work with the Implementation Plan to maintain it as a dynamic reference point for offshore wind energy research and innovation; it will monitor and report on progress towards the Implementation Plan targets of 1090 million € to be invested in R&I in the offshore sector until 2030; it will strengthen policy coordination in European offshore wind energy R&I policy by supporting the work of the SET-Plan Implementation Group for Offshore Wind; and it will facilitate a breakthrough in the coordination across borders of nationally funded R&I projects. 

The SETWind project will be run in the same spirit as it was developed: as a collaborative efforts bringing in European and international stakeholders to translate the Implementation Plan into a living document by updating the research and innovation priorities and implementing these together with relevant stakeholders through nationally funded projects coordinated across borders.

The pump further comprises a movable actuator body (3), accommodated in the actuator chamber (2) and consisting of a magnetizable or magnetic material, for driving the displacement member (5). The pump also comprises magnetic drive means (8a, 8b) for creating a magnetic field in order to move the actuator body (3). The actuator body (3) is freely movable relative to the displacement member (5) so that the displacement member (5) can be moved, by means of an impact motion of the actuator body (3), from the first to the second position.
Understanding the molecular basis of stochastic bi-stable obesity

Substantial evidence indicates that even when genetically matched, we are not created equal. The mechanisms underlying such non-Mendelian phenotype variation are sufficient to elicit complex disease but remain unknown. 
In this context, the regulators of chromatin state have the ability to establish cellular memory, which is encoding specific silenced gene expression states through mitosis and is involved in control phenotypic variation.
Interestingly, two chromatin ‘stabilizing’ genes (Trim28 / Dnmt3a) and two obesity buffering ‘effector’ genes (Peg3 / Nnat) are involved in triggering bi-stable epigenetic obesity. 
This present proposal aims at intersecting all four models of polyphenism to identify the core transcriptional and chromatin machinery required to establish and switch ‘On’ or ‘Off’ the Obese state. Thus, I will to explore these four mutants [Trim28(D9/+), Dnmt3a(+/-), Peg3(+/-p), and Nnat(+/-p)], which will serve as a biological filter to reveal core requirements.
First, I will define co-variation of a spectrum of complex trait phenotypes resulting from insufficiency at each of these loci. Then, I will decipher the mechanism underlying their sensitized bi-stable obesity. Third, I will assess the epigenetic basis of their buffering of polyphenism.
The aim of this proposal is to precisely provide, for the first time, reference-depth phenomic and epigenomic profiling of chromatin sensitizer- (Trim28- / Dnmt3a-) and chromatin effector- (Peg3- / Nnat-) induced stochastic obesity. The work will uncover the first definitive genetic and genomic templates for probing non-Mendelian phenotypic variation and stochastic obesity and thus highlight new therapeutic perspectives.
Managing the Psychological Contract During a Psychological Recession

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on the psychological contracts of employees who have been negatively impacted by the widespread psychological recession. The prevalent economic recession has made it difficult for organisations to uphold their psychological contracts to employees, thereby contributing to a psychological recession - which is defined as an emotional state in which employees feel extremely vulnerable to economic hardship. The target population consisted of all permanent support staff working at an organisation that had recently experienced a large-scale retrenchment exercise (n=52). A self-administered questionnaire was distributed amongst employees. The results, based on proven hypotheses, were summarised and depicted in a theoretical model. Inferential statistics suggest that the harsh effects and negative impact of the psychological recession may contribute to employees engaging in destructive work behaviour. A multiple regression analysis further emphasised the importance of HRM practices in maintaining a positive state of the psychological contract. Organisations have to respond to the psychological recession by carefully managing the employment relationship, and re-evaluating the effectiveness of their HRM actions and practices, in order to maintain the commitment and loyalty of their employees.

Cross-Border Experience for a Sustainable Tourism Development in the Programme Area

Tourism represents a sector of major importance for the whole Mediterranean economy. However, it is a very complex industry with a highly fragmented value chain, which faces difficulties when providing customers with total holiday experiences in lesser-known destinations. In order to face this challenge, the Municipality of Brindisi and the Regional Center for Development and Cooperation will organize the Adriatic Experience Academy. This will be the opportunity for 40 entrepeneurial minds to transform an activity, a passion or a vocation into experiences towards new tourism strategies, sustainable and capable of generating widespread benefits for territories and communities. EXCELLENT will be implemented by organizing two workshops in two countries and one incoming event with travel bloggers with the purpose to foster mechanisms of networking, capacity-building, education and product validation. The objective is to meet the traveller’s need and create real value for the territories in which the ideas of the candidates will be put into practice. Expected results and impacts are enhanced cross-border cooperation in the field of sustainable tourism, accessibility, visibility and market uptake of less-known traditions and experiences, developed participative and well-integrated strategies of sustainable tourism, boosted human and managerial skills and capabilities, improved image, on-line presence and competitiveness, fostered methodologies of product development and destination management for local communities and public organizations and improved quality of life in the involved destinations. The project is based on co-designed strategies and participative approach to transfer to other territories similar to Brindisi the positive results already achieved by adding further value thanks to the knowledge and the experience to be shared by communities, organizations and companies such as Airb&b, who will support the COMBR in the organization of its activities in Italy.

THE AGES AND IMPLICATION OF YANGTZE RIVER HOLOCENE TERRACE

The fluvial terrace has plenty of paleoclimate and paleoenviromental information which play an important role in paleoclimate and paleoenviromental researches.In this paper,we drilled a 42.85m-long core(N06S2)in 2007,which was located in the south bank of Yangtze River at Shifuqiao in Qixia district of Nanjing City.Firstly,fine quartz grains(4～11μm)were extracted from bulk samples in dark room,and the quartz purity tests were conducted.The results show that purity can satisfy the experiment.All measurements were performed on an automated Daybreak 2200 TL/OSL system with blue(470±5nm)light stimulation and U-340 luminescence detection filters.Thick source alpha counting(TSAC)was used to measure the uranium and thorium concentrations.The potassium content was determined using flame spectrophotometer.Secondly,the preheat plateau test and dose recovery test were performed on one sample using the SAR protocol.The results indicate that the fast component dominates the OSL signals.In preheat plateau test,identical De in the thermal treat from 160～260℃ was observed,thus we use the preheat temperature of 220℃ for 10 seconds.The recuperation ratios of zero point are below 2%and the recycling ratios lie between 0.9 and 1.1.In dose recovery test,OSL signal sensitivity changes are well corrected.Tests of luminescence characteristics confirm the suitability of the material for OSL dating.At last,samples from this drilling core were systematically dated by optically stimulated luminescence(OSL)dating method,and samples which contain organic matters were dated by AMS{14C}.The results show that the De values from the two methods accord with each other very well.However,OSL dating results show that there is a hiatus in this core,and the hiatus,which ranges from 1.9ka to 7.9ka,may be the result of change of Yangtze River's channel or the erosion of the river.The ages of the fluvial deposition mainly range from 0.26ka to 1.9ka and 7.9ka to 9.1ka,it could be attributed to the results of paleoclimate and sea levels change.Meanwhile,study results on pollen and spores show that the paleoclimate has changed from warm wet to temperate wet during the stage of hiatus.
Assessment of Regional and Territorial Sensitivity

An effective exploitation of Europe’s territorial capital requires deeper insights into the various territorial effects of EU sector legislation and policy as well as on how they structurally reinforce each other. Policymakers increasingly acknowledge the need to consider ex ante possible territorial effects of new EU sector legislation and policy as they might have both directly and indirectly often unintended impacts on territorial organisation and development at European, (trans)national and regional level. Policy practice shows that these impacts are sometimes felt at regional/local level instead of having a global impact for the entire European territory. The impact often varies throughout the different types of territories and regions in Europe as the sensitivity to different types of EU legislation and policy varies in the different types of territories and regions. Territorial (regional) sensitivity to EU legislation can be described as the degree to which a territory (region) is directly and indirectly affected, either adversely or beneficially by change in European legislation or policy. Territorial sensitivity hence is an important variable in Territorial Impact Analysis. In contrast to vulnerability territorial sensitivity also takes into account possible benefits but does not consider the (possible) adaptive capacity of a territory. Policymakers in the field of territorial cohesion and development need evidence-based information that supports them in creating awareness on possible territorial impacts during the policymaking processes of sectoral EU policy and legislation. A particular consideration in this respect is the fact that regions and different types of territories are not equally affected by new EU policy and legislation. The regional sensitivity differs due to geographical, socio-economic, environmental and cultural characteristics. A good insight in the difference in regional sensitivity is considered as an important element to carry out a meaningful analysis of territorial impacts.
Emerging Russian Multinationals: Innovation, Technology, and Internationalization

This article examines the role of technology and innovation, as ownership advantages, in the internationalization process of Russian companies. It focuses on three distinctive groups of firms—medium-technology manufacturing enterprises, software and IT companies, and state corporations. We identify different roles of innovation in internationalization of these companies and provide corresponding examples. First, medium-technology manufacturing enterprises tend to expand abroad led by a technology-seeking motive, seeking to boost their technological competence through foreign acquisitions. Second, companies in the emerging IT and software sectors internationalize driven by innovation and using their competitive advantage. This international expansion is often organic in terms of establishment of greenfield subsidiaries rather than acquisitions of foreign firms. Third, state corporations engage in international operations, too, and the role of innovation differs. This internationalization may be either tech...

Spatial effects of demographic trends and migration

Europe is facing major challenges in terms of demographic development. Effects of the demographic changes and ageing of the European population is expected in many spheres of society and is diverse from region to region. Demographic trends approached include natural population trends (births, death, age-structure), migration on large scale and regional/local migration. The latter is of particular interest as peer groups tend to have very different migration patterns. Another observation is that the attitude and migration of cohorts is changing over time. That relates, in particular, to the third age.

The demographic trends together with migration and increasing mobility cause severe impacts on the territorial development and the division of labour between regions. These trends might be affected by migratory movements related to the enlargement of the EU. A typology of European regions show diversity of situations concerning demography and migration that the regions of Europe face.
