The Red List of Endangered Wild Species and Subspecies of Plants, Animals and Fungi of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina contains 658 plant species, 27 mammal species, 40 bird species, 6 reptile species, 4 amphibian species and 36 fish species, as well as thousands of different species of invertebrates.10 The Red Lists have not been harmonized and there is no single/harmonized List at the state level. Harmonization of the existing Lists would pose a major issue since, for instance, the Red List of Republika Srpska does not contain the conservation status of listed species and the methodologies used for compiling the Lists are not mutually' synchronized and for the large part do not follow the internationally recognized IUCN Red List Methodology. Altogether, 70 different habitat types and 208 species, of which 109 are birds, have been recorded and distributed into the proposed 122 Natura 2000 sites.

What is more, in developed countries there were boycotts of products from the rainforest as awareness of this environmental problem increased. Against this background, the Tropical Forestry Action Plan (TFAP) was launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Bank and the World Resources Institute. In addition, the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), a United Nations body, was established in 1986 in Yokohama to promote appropriate trade in tropical forest timber.

It identified priority action areas for achieving an efficient and sustainable economy, protecting the environment and natural resources, promoting socio-economic equity and providing a social safety net. It called for the inter-ministerial working group to help implement the plan, to track progress, and to promote joint activities. It also proposed the creation of a national committee for sustainable development, in effect an advisory board, comprising representatives of government, labour and management, and other non-governmental associations (OECD, 2000).

One Luxembourg respondent went so far as to suggest that this separation of functions actually hinders the advancement of genomics for infectious disease control in that country. In this second group of countries, infectious diseases are evidently given much greater prominence both in national public health policy and in genomic research and development. Indeed, in the case of South Africa, it appeals from the responses received that medical genomics is oriented almost exclusively to the elucidation and control of infectious disease, with little interest in the kinds of chronic disease studies favoured by proponents of stratified medicine in the other countries that were looked at.

These deductibles are described in following sections. Table 6 summarises information on the extent of coverage for inpatient acute care in OECD countries for average adult patients who are not entitled to any co-payment reduction or exemption. In many OECD countries patients also have the option of paying supplements for additional comforts (e.g. a private room, access to TV, telephone, etc.).

Kazakhstan and its cities are modernising, but its urban centres still have issues to address before they can achieve their full potential as the engines of economic growth. Kazakhstan inherited a legacy of low car ownership and extensive, but not always cost-efficient, urban public transport from the Soviet era. However, car ownership has risen rapidly since the 2000s, with the highest motorisation rate in Almaty and Astana (428 and 385 cars per 1 000 inhabitants, respectively, in 2015). Car ownership has been increased by the high demand for private automobiles, moderate gasoline prices, road extensions and improvements in and around big cities, and the low quality of public transport services.

The most recent data compiled by UNICEF (2013) shows that in 82 out of 95 developing countries for which data are available the prevalence of child underweight is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Guha-Khasnobis and James (2010) found a prevalence of adult underweight of around 23 percent in the slum areas of eight Indian cities, while the prevalence in rural areas in the same states was close to 40 percent. It is technically a form of undernutrition (UNSCN, 2010), but is often referred to separately because it can coexist with adequate or excessive consumption of macronutrients and carries health consequences that are distinct from those associated with stunting.

Original plans envisaged that existing GPs would progressively gain recognition as family physicians provided they completed ten days’ of preliminary orientation, followed by a two-year programme of specialist training. Efforts are being made, however, to increase the number of primary care doctors and reduce the list size for each doctor from current levels. Each public hospital service is paid by “package rates” that bundle prices for outpatient and inpatient services established by the Social Security Institute, within a global budget that is negotiated between the Social Security Institution (SSI) and the Ministry of Health. The payment of staff involves a salary and a performance-based component.

The use of indicators and indexes in social policy, as part of evidence-based policy, is understood by governmentality scholars as ‘techniques of governance’. However, we know very little about how the process of quantification is enacted in the material practices that constitute social policy itself. In this article we focus on a particular quantified object: the ‘Normal Amsterdam Level’ (NAP), used in an Amsterdam Neighbourhood Policy programme. We follow the NAP from its birth, to its life and its afterlife. We show that the qualification ‘deprived’ calls forth a whole set of problematic arrangements which are lost in a process of quantification. We understand the NAP as a generative device that actively assembles and arranges the world. These assemblages are rendered ‘hard’ through semiotic, statistical and visual techniques that produce facts about targeted neighbourhoods in relation to a city-wide average, thus serving as evidence and legitimisation for policy interventions.

However, both the area harvested and staple food prices will increase at about twice the rate projected in the absence of climate change, with potentially significant impacts on both the environment and food security. Higher latitudes will see smaller losses in yields, and even some gains as growing seasons lengthen. Losses in lower latitude regions will be greater.

Where age cannot be reported with precision, age groups (e.g., 25 to 29 years of age) can be used. The core indicators identified by the Friends of the Chair of the United Nations Statistical Commission on indicators on violence against women form only the minimum required for improving available data on the prevalence and nature of violence against women. The inclusion of additional variables will significantly enrich the overall results of the survey and increase their relevance for policymaking.

Peer effects could operate through multiple channels: for instance, women may exhibit greater confidence when they are in a more supportive environment, or peers may help women attain their goals by providing support after the training is over. There was also evidence that the positive impacts of training with a friend were stronger among women from religious or caste groups with social norms that restrict female mobility. They should also incorporate financial education into other initiatives where women are likely to be the main beneficiaries, such as conditional financial transfers, to improve women’s financial independence.

For example, in Poland the availability of CT and MRI scanners is still suboptimal, and as the number of patients has increased in recent years, the waiting list for diagnostic services involving these devices has lengthened. For instance, the Slovak Republic has invested in expensive radiotherapy equipment and linear accelerators for state-owned cancer care institutions and university hospitals, and Poland has also invested in therapeutic equipment. The highest density is in Switzerland, with 16.5 radiotherapy devices per million population, over thirty times higher than the lowest density country, Israel (0.5), as is shown in Figure 2.4. Switzerland is followed by Belgium (14.5) and the Slovak Republic (13.5), while Israel is preceded by Hirkey (1.9), Estonia (2.2) and Poland (2.8).

Not surprisingly therefore, research suggests that the social, political and cultural expectations regarding a women’s responsibilities for the home and family is one explanation as to why women-owned businesses do not grow as large as those owned by men (Ernst & Young, 2009). In general, women are less confident than men about whether they have the knowledge, skills and experience required to start and run a new business (Kelley et al., Differences between genders are particularly stark in developed economies, such as Japan, Western Europe, and the United States. In addition, women tend to be more risk-averse than their male counterparts and more likely to let fear of failure prevent them from starting a business (Kelley et al., Not surprisingly, there is a direct correlation between capability perceptions and the rates of early-stage entrepreneurship.

This chapter examines the Roosevelt administration’s record on civil rights in the context of the Second World War. Relying on internal executive branch documents, as well as attempts by black newspapers to get the administration to comment on the Double-V campaign, the chapter demonstrates the White House’s familiarity with the Double-V rhetoric of civil rights activists, and frames this as part of a larger debate within the Roosevelt administration about whether to maintain a New Deal focus on social policy or focus almost entirely on the military aspects of World War II. The chapter then examines how wartime activism compelled Roosevelt to issue an executive order to combat defense industry discrimination, while similar efforts to integrate the armed forces proved unsuccessful.

The complexity of the rule system in relation to the low price of tCERs and ICERs is a main barrier for sink projects in CDM. In addition, the awkward temporary crediting and a competing voluntary market with higher price and lower transaction costs can be mentioned as causes of the lack of sink projects within CDM. Another main reason for the absence of sink projects in CDM is that the demand was significantly reduced when the EU decided not to include these projects in the EU ETS. The incentives for the private sector to engage in sinks in CDM have been very low and the main actor on this market has been the Community Carbon Development Fund and the BioCarbon Fund of the World Bank29.

Seizures in the country doubled from 2012 to 2013, before decreasing to around 33.8 tons in 2014, which is still above the 2012 level. According to estimates for 2014, only 30 per cent of the cocaine seized in Brazil was destined for external markets. Colombia saw an increase of 44 per cent in the area of estimated coca bush cultivation in 2014, and thus became once again the country with the largest area of coca cultivation in the world. The area of cultivation grew from 48,000 ha in 2013 to 69,000 ha in 2014, and potential cocaine production has seen an even greater increase of 52.7 per cent, rising from 290 tons in 2013 to 442 tons in 2014.

Even in relatively developed markets like Germany, social opposition is emerging as a potential threat to future development. Currently, debates at the level of the Lander are halting the construction of the “energy highways” that would transport large amounts of renewable energy from the rural north to the urban south. Opposition is coming from different local constituencies (rural dwellers, farmers, and environmentalists) concerned about the impact of the power line on health, landscape, and wildlife (Frohlingsdorf, 2011).

These studies have been less successful at evaluating differences in the mental health of young people who are with or without the programme. However, some countries have initiated large randomised control trial (RCT) evaluations of programmes targeting disadvantaged youth.

The results were presented at Rio+20 events in Brazil, and will be brought into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) dialogue through contributions on various official online platforms, presentations at United Nations SDG policy meetings, and national media releases in the surveyed countries. The list of worsening trends was long, but surprisingly strong common themes emerged, including environmental degradation, corruption, inequality, economic insecurity, social problems and conflict. This is a major way in which inequality is perpetuated and increased. Wealth and poverty are viewed as being directly associated with access to political decision-making and economic opportunities, or a lack of them.

The FAO (2013) emphasises that the combination of growing demand induced by high consumer incomes and of the response of commercial supplier will finally reach a scale that will provoke a transformation in marketing channels, which affects all potential food producers, from large to small scale. Nevertheless, while markets become more formal and demanding in terms of quality control, informal markets will likely remain relevant for some time to come for millions of small farmers in developing countries. As the FAO (2013), pointed out “In the past, much focus on agriculture development has been on supply side issues without sufficient attention paid to how the farmer is going to market the new surplus.

Such usage can be initiated by a user, or as a result of the interaction between the application and the user. This is much more complicated usage of channels. For such complicated usage, Recommendation ITU-R BT.2037 [10.12] defines what an IBB system is and how an IBB system should behave. Recommendation ITU-R BT.2053 [10.3] defines technical requirements of IBB systems highlighting a broadcast centric scenario, which is also based on the enhanced use of the return interaction channel.

Section D offers some elements for planning infrastructure investments, which it sees as key to growth promotion. Programmes to achieve minimum standards of nutrition, health and education made a brief appearance in the interwar period as a philosophy of “colonial trusteeship” sought to deflect growing social discontent (Amdt, 1987: 27-29). But it was only during the Second World War and the subsequent struggle for political independence and local control over natural resources that a more serious discussion on infrastructure and development was launched.
