Chief Financial Officer Co-option and Chief Executive Officer Compensation
Authors: Dikolli Shane S. , Heater John C. , Mayew William J. , Sethuraman Mani
Published: January 2020

We study whether relative power in the chief executive officer (CEO)–chief financial officer (CFO) relationship influences CEO compensation. To operationalize relative power of a CEO over a CFO, we define CFO co-option as the appointment of a CFO after a CEO assumes office. We find that CFO co-option is associated with a CEO pay premium of about 10%, which is concentrated more in the early years of the co-opted CFO’s tenure and in components of compensation that vary with the achievement of analyst-based earnings targets. Our evidence also indicates that a primary channel through which CEO power over a co-opted CFO yields the achievement of earnings targets is the use of earnings management to inflate earnings. Co-opted CFOs rely primarily on using discretionary accruals to manage earnings prior to the Sarbanes–Oxley regulatory intervention and switch to real-activities manipulation afterward. The evidence thus suggests that the form of earnings management depends on costs imposed on the CFO to inflate earnings.

The Attitudes of Turkish Teachers toward Female Managers
Authors: Sayin Utku , Balci Nazmiye
Published: January 2020

Gender equality in the workplace and social life has been argued especially since industrialization. Despite the belief that the education profession is suitable for women, the education sector has been one of the most discussed sectors due to the low number of female managers. Doubtless, gender stereotypes and attitudes toward women contribute to these inequalities. This research aimed to examine the attitudes, which may be an important part of this inequality, of teachers towards female principals. The universe of the research is consisted of the teachers and administrators at public schools in Adana's districts (Seyhan, Cukurova, Yuregir, and Saricam) province where women held an administrative position in the 2015-2016 academic year. The sample consisted of 818 teachers and administrators. A descriptive survey method was used to conduct the research. Attitudes toward Women Managers Scale were used to collect data. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was applied to analyze the data. For descriptive statistics, frequency, percent, average and standard deviation were used. For the statistical analysis T-Test and ANOVA tests were applied. As a result of the data analysis; significant differences between the groups according to gender, age groups, status and, level of the schools were found.
Analysis of Self-oscillating Single-acting Hydro-impact System Operational Modes with Two Limiters of Striker Movement
Authors: Gorodilov Leonid V.
Published: January 2020

A new property of self-oscillating single-acting hydro-impact systems is considered in this paper – an ability to make strikes in forward and backward directions in presence of two limiters of striker movement without structural changes in device. Mathematical models are presented for system, which includes a flow rate source, a control valve, an impact unit (body frame, striker and spring), an energy accumulator and two limiters. Program for system operational modes (op-modes) simulation is developed and dynamics of specific typical device is numerically investigated. Theoretical oscillograms of its dynamic characteristics and dependencies of integral characteristics on source and impact device parameters are analyzed. At low flow rate multiimpact self-oscillating cycles are obtained, in which the nature of dynamics phenomenon repeats after several striker-limiters interactions. Increase of flow rate leads to single-impact working mode with forward direction of striker movement, then to transition to double-impact mode with forward and backward directions and, further, to single-impact mode with backward direction. Transition boundary points, in which system op-modes changes, are found. Results of this paper can be applied in development of reversible hydro-impact devices (with impacts in forward and backward directions) for mining and construction engineering.
Design and Characterization of a Five-Chamber Constant-Volume Hydraulic Actuator
Authors: Johnson Beau , Bartlett Harrison , Goldfarb Michael
Published: January 2020

This paper describes a new design for a constant-fluid-volume, also known as a symmetrical, hydraulic cylinder. In contrast to the two fluid volume chambers of a typical hydraulic cylinder, the constant-fluid-volume cylinder contains five potential fluid chambers. Relative to three and four chamber designs, both previously described in the engineering literature, the five chamber design enables a minimum-diameter solution with a simpler porting implementation. Following a general description of the five-chamber design and its motivation, a five-chamber cylinder prototype is described and presented. Experimental results are presented comparing some behavioral characteristics of the fivechamber cylinder to a double-rod cylinder, and to two variations of single-rod implementations. Finally, a minimum-diameter five-chamber cylinder variant is described, and its geometric characteristics compared to equivalent doublerod and four-chamber cylinder implementations.

Published: January 2020

The monitoring of soil attributes allows the evaluation of its ability to perform its functions within an agroecosystem. The objective of this work was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil physical attributes, litter and carbon stock in a family farming system in the Cerrado Tocantinense. The area is located in the southern region in the state in the municipality of Aliança do Tocantins. Four types of land use were diagnosed in the area: brachiaria pasture intercropped with stylosanthes, Andropogon pasture, orchard and native forest. The native forest was considered as a reference. The study area totaled 7.9 ha-1 in which it was distributed an irregular sample grid composed of 160 points. Deformed and undeformed samples were collected for each georeferenced point at depths of 0-10 and 10-20 cm, as well as samples to determine the litter and soil carbon stock. Data were submitted to exploratory analysis and geostatistical study. It was found that the conversion of native forest for different soil uses through orchard, brachiaria, andropogon and native forest caused spatial variability in physical attributes, litter and soil carbon stock at depths 0-10 and 10-20 cm. The orchard subarea stood out as a promising system in the accumulation of organic carbon due to cattle manure.
Synthesis and characterization of aluminum-based adsorbent and application in fluoride removal from aqueous solution
Authors: Assaoui Jihane , Hatim Zineb , Kheribeche Abdelmoula
Published: January 2020

A novel adsorbent was obtained by a facile precipitation method and was used for fluoride removal from aqueous solution. Mineralogical and physicochemical characterization of the adsorbent was carried out by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Energy Dispersive X-Ray attached to Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDX), BET Specific Surface Area(SSAN2BET) analysis and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). The effect of various operational parameters such as contact time, initial fluoride concentration, (20-160 mg L-1) adsorbent dose (1-6 g L-1) and initial pH solution (3-11) was evaluated in batch procedures at room temperature (25±2°C). The results of the batch adsorption experiments proved that 24 h of contact time was sufficient for attaining equilibrium. The maximum wastewater defluoridation (84.91%) was obtained for 40 mg L-1 and 3 g L-1 of initial fluoride concentration and adsorbent dose, respectively. It appears that there was no significant effect on the F- removal over a wide range of pH 3-11. Kinetic studies revealed that fluoride adsorption fitted well to pseudo-second-order. The adsorption isotherm of fluoride sorption indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity was noted to be 43.29 mg g-1. Batch adsorption data was better described by Langmuir isotherm confirming monolayer adsorption with homogenous distribution of active sites and without interaction between adsorbed molecules. The obtained results indicated that the ion exchange is probably the main mechanism involved in the F- adsorption by the aluminium-based adsorbent.
Algorithm for the numerical calculation of the serial components of the normal form of depolarizing Mueller matrices
Authors: San José Ignacio , Gil José J. , Ossikovski R.
Published: January 2020

The normal form of a depolarizing Mueller matrix constitutes an important tool for the phenomenological interpretation of experimental polarimetric data. Due to its structure as a serial combination of three Mueller matrices, namely a canonical depolarizing Mueller matrix sandwiched between two pure (nondepolarizing) Mueller matrices, it overcomes the necessity of making a priori choices on the order of the polarimetric components, as this occurs in other serial decompositions. Because Mueller polarimetry addresses more and more applications in a wide range of areas in science, engineering, medicine, etc., the normal form decomposition has an enormous potential for the analysis of experimentally determined Mueller matrices. However, its systematic use has been limited to some extent because of the lack of numerical procedure for the calculation of each polarimetric component, in particular in the case of Type II Mueller matrices. In this work, an efficient algorithm applicable to the decomposition of both Type II and Type I Mueller matrices is presented.

Published: January 2020

Spectroscopic properties of erbium (Er3+)-, holmium (Ho3+)-, dysprosium (Dy3+)-doped and Er3+/Ho3+, Er3+/Dy3+ co-doped ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF) glasses were studied. The experimental results show that efficient energy transfer from Er3+ to Ho3+ and Dy3+ occurs in the Er3+/Ho3+ and Er3+/Dy3+ co-doped ZBLAN glasses, respectively. This valuable discovery enables us to design and develop high power Ho3+-doped and Dy3+-doped ZBLAN fiber lasers in the 3 µm wavelength region that can be pumped with readily available high-efficiency, high-power diode laser pumps at 980 nm.
High-purity polarized multi-beams from polarization-twisting meta-surface Cassegrain systems
Authors: Yang Pei , Yang Rui , Li Yachao , Bai Li
Published: January 2020

Bi-functional meta-surfaces capable of simultaneously controlling polarization states and wave-fronts of electromagnetic fields are introduced into the design of Cassegrain system for the synthesis of multi-beams. More specifically, electromagnetic fields reflected by the secondary meta-surface with tailored diverged wave-fronts would be collimated by the primary meta-surface into multi-beams with transformed polarization states that can directly go through the secondary meta-surface without any blockage. Especially, we show that such a polarization-twisting meta-surface Cassegrain system can possess much more compact configuration by properly devising the phase distribution over the secondary meta-surface, and can also achieve high-purity polarized multiple radiations when we enlarge the secondary meta-surface as a radome. The present approach of integrating two bi-functional meta-surfaces into the design of Cassegrain system for the generation of multi-beams should pave the way for building up more advanced meta-surface based architectures with specific characteristics.

imaging system. The fundamentals of the shear amount and the spatial carrier frequency generation are analyzed mathematically, and the theoretical predictions are validated by a static experiment. Mode-I fracture experiments through the three-point bending are conducted to prove the feasibility and the capability of this method in full-field strain measurement with various shear amounts. A remarkable feature of this setup is that no tilt is required between the optical components to produce the unlimited shear amount in off-axis holography.
Light-efficient beamsplitter for Fourier-domain full-field optical coherence tomography
Authors: Auksorius Egidijus
Published: January 2020

Any full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) system wastes almost 75% of light, including 50% of the OCT signal, because it uses a 50/50 beamsplitter (BS) in the standard implementation. Here, a design of a light-efficient BS is presented that loses almost no light when implemented in Fourier-domain FF-OCT. It is based on pupil engineering and a small highly asymmetric BS. The presented signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis demonstrates almost four times improvement over the conventional design. In addition, it is shown that the light-efficient BS can be used to suppress specular reflections from a sample and, thus, further improve the SNR.

Edge solitons in Lieb topological Floquet insulator
Authors: Ivanov Sergey K. , Kartashov Yaroslav V. , Maczewsky Lukas J. , Szameit Alexander , Konotop Vladimir V.
Published: January 2020

We describe topological edge solitons in a continuous dislocated Lieb array of helical waveguides. The linear Floquet spectrum of this structure is characterized by the presence of two topological gaps with edge states residing in them. A focusing nonlinearity enables families of topological edge solitons bifurcating from the linear edge states. Such solitons are localized both along and across the edge of the array. Due to the nonmonotonic dependence of the propagation constant of the edge states on the Bloch momentum, one can construct topological edge solitons that either propagate in different directions along the same boundary or do not move. This allows us to study collisions of edge solitons moving in opposite directions. Such solitons always interpenetrate each other without noticeable radiative losses; however, they exhibit a spatial shift that depends on the initial phase difference.
Dual-chirp microwave waveform transmitter with elimination of power fading for one-to-multibase station fiber transmission
Authors: Zhu Sha , Fan Xiaojie , Li Ming , Zhu Ning Hua , Li Wei
Published: January 2020

We present a photonic approach to generate and transmit a dual-chirp microwave waveform with antidispersion performance. Traditionally, the microwave signal generated based on double-sideband (DSB) modulation suffers from power fading significantly. We propose a DSB-based dual-chirp microwave waveform transmitter that can eliminate the chromatic dispersion-induced power fading (CDIP) over fiber transmission. The CDIP elimination, rather than compensation, ensures that the working bandwidth of the dual-chirp waveform is not limited by the periodical power fading. The proposed signal modulation scheme makes the signal transmitter free from the direct current bias drifting of the modulator. Moreover, thanks to the phase modulation, the generated waveform is background-free. The proposed dual-chirp waveform transmitter features a compact structure, polarization independence, and CDIP elimination, which has great potential in radars for one-to-multibase station fiber transmission.

Dither-free stabilization of a femtosecond doubly resonant OPO using parasitic sum-frequency mixing
Authors: Cheng Yuk Shan , McCracken Richard A. , Reid Derryck T.
Published: January 2020

Stable operation of a doubly resonant femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) requires submicron matching of the OPO and pump laser cavity lengths, which is normally implemented using a dither-locking feedback scheme. Here we show that parasitic sum-frequency mixing between the pump and resonant pulses of a degenerate femtosecond OPO provides an error signal suitable for actuating the cavity length with the precision needed to maintain oscillation on a single fringe and at maximum output power. Unlike commonly used dither-locking approaches, the method introduces no modulation noise and requires no additional optical components, except for one narrowband filter. The scheme is demonstrated on a Ti:sapphire-pumped sub-40-fs PPKTP OPO, from which data are presented showing a tenfold reduction in relative intensity noise compared with dither locking.
Dress to oppress: Performing blasphemy on the red carpet
Authors: Kleiman Anna
Published: January 2020

This article will examine the ‘Jerusalem dress’ scandal, provoked by the dress worn by Miri Regev, the Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports, to the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet event in 2017. Focusing on the intersection between contemporary fashion, celebrity culture, gender and politics, I will analyse the ways in which the dress can be read as blasphemous and thus lead to a cultural scandal of such dimensions. I will point to social and religious values that were undermined, considering Regev’s political character, and to the effect of using a dress to make political statements on the international red carpet in this context. I will then draw conclusions regarding the impact of using a dress as a political statement in this particular Hollywood-style setting, as well as of its perception and unfolding in the digital media.
The Diet Prada effect: ‘Call-out culture’ in the contemporary fashionscape
Authors: Gerrie Vanessa
Published: January 2020

Fashion criticism has found a new democratic platform in this technetronic age that has been impacted by the emergence of online ‘call-out culture’, a cultural phenomenon born of this digital age. Independent voices are finding traction within the famously hermetic fashion industry who are holding fashion designers, marketers, editors and all those gatekeepers in between, accountable not only for copycat fashion products but also for racist and bigoted appropriations that appear in campaigns and editorials. In examining ‘call-out culture’ in the fashion industry this article will extrapolate on how and why these cultural phenomena have gained traction in relation to the contemporary fashion industry and what this means for the future of the industry. I do so through the wider contextualization of looking at ideas of authenticity and transparency, effects of social media, and the role of cultural criticism in fashion. The methodology utilized in this article is in the form of the close analysis of two case studies, the independent fashion critic sites Diet Prada and The Fashion Law, which have both gained traction in the past two years for their unbiased and unrelenting agenda to call out fashion’s indiscretions.
Exploring the ‘penumbra of the non-verbal’: The relationship between writing and making in a practice-based Ph.D.
Authors: Horton Sarah
Published: January 2020

The penumbra (or shadow) of the non-verbal is a phrase taken from Sarat Maharaj’s article ‘Know-how and no-how’ in which Maharaj describes a kind of making that does not solely rely on the verbal but on what he calls the ‘sticky’, somatic and material qualities of the artwork. He argues that these qualities exist independently of the discursive side of the process. This article explores the complicated dynamic between the material, ‘sticky’ aspects of making and the various texts that were written alongside the making in my own Ph.D. How can the practical and written components work to support rather than usurp each other? I will argue that the relationship between theory (as written) and theory (as practice) forms concertina-like push-and-pull tensions that each inform the other. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of ‘habitus’ the material, or ‘sticky’, qualities of artworks may be seen to link to our bodily and haptic understanding of the world. This discussion has implications for anyone undertaking practice-based research who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of the theory-practice dynamic within it.
Layering lines and thoughts: A study of musical time through drawing
Authors: Guerra-Valiente Juan José
Published: January 2020

Through the analysis of the drawing Sans Titre (Apres P. B. Notations) (2017), the following article seeks to explore the role of writing in my own artistic practice, which is concerned with the relation between music and drawing. This article examines the creative process that is carried out in relation to drawing with a musical composition, in this case Pierre Boulez’s Notations (1945), and how the imbrication of text influences and shapes the process and outcome of the artwork. In addition, this article analyses how the text engages with a wider theoretical approach of time, through ‘Chronos’ and ‘Aion’, two categories of time developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze primarily in The Logic of Sense ([1969] 2004), and the way they relate to drawing and opening up new ways of understanding it. Thus, the research will look at the role of the spiral line or helix as a visual model that could lend shape to musical time constituting the main frame of the drawing.
The phantom ‘practice-only thesis’
Authors: Wilsher Mark
Published: January 2020

As universities become accustomed to the complexities of their art and design faculties, a body of literature has emerged that explores some of the possibilities of a doctorate in the creative arts. In the area of fine art in particular, although not exclusively, there has been a drive towards a purely practice-based thesis. This article argues that the notion of the practice-only thesis is not only an unrealistic illusion that puts pressure on students, but also does not reflect contemporary professional practices. For an art practice to communicate any sort of specific knowledge it must be embedded in a pre-existing and continuously evolving flux of discourse produced through written and spoken language.

The American artist Trisha Donnelly’s 2014 Serpentine Gallery exhibition is taken as an example. Critical writing in the art press produces an accepted interpretation, and this is what the artist ‘Trisha Donnelly’ comes to stand for. So artwork that might appear to be producing its meaning autonomously should be seen as a collaborative practice involving the artist together with their professional interpreters. Research students are required to produce a self-contained project which would seem to preclude the incorporation of writing or academic interpretation by others. But it is fundamentally unfair to demand a thesis without any written component since it does not exist in an expanded notion of the contemporary art world.
Reflecting on reflection: Exploring the role of writing as part of practice-led research
Authors: Quinn James
Published: January 2020

The phrase ‘writing up’ is often framed as the point where a research project is nearing its end, with only a summarizing thesis between a student and their completion. This text seeks to interrogate this dichotomy between research practice and writing. Instead, the text engenders reflective writing as a constant undercurrent of dialogue that continually shapes research through reflective thought. The text implements concepts from two key texts to meet these ends: Kamler and Thompson’s Helping Doctoral Students Write: Pedagogies for Supervision and Bolt and Barrett’s Practice as Research: Approaches to Creative Arts Enquiry. The first of the texts problematizes the notion of a formal ‘writing up’ stage often cited by students and supervisors in research study, arguing instead for a shift towards a more dynamic role for writing in research, or indeed writing as research. The second of the contributing texts presents Barbara Bolt’s notion of the ‘exegesis’ as ancillary to this thought – outlining written practice in arts research as an intrinsic, generative process, married to any practical outcome. Using the rhetoric outlined in these two references, this article then summarizes with an application of the notion of the ‘exegesis’ to an assortment of personal written texts, such as reflective journal entries and assessed written works across three years of postgraduate study. Herein lies the key claim of this article – that exegesis permeates every meaningful or developmental step of practice-led research, forming a crucial reciprocal relationship between visual and written work not unlike other hybridized methodologies outlined by authors such as Mieke Bal in her text, Travelling Concepts in the Humanities: A Rough Guide.
All the better for being vague? The authority of text
Authors: Stewart Judith
Published: January 2020

In Middlemarch, George Eliot makes a claim for the superiority of writing over painting: ‘Language is a finer medium’, she has her character claim, because it is ‘[…] all the better for being vague’ (1871: 140). This is a perceived advantage that many artists would find it difficult to agree with as we find the use of text in both academia and in relationship to visual art to be anything but vague. On the contrary, language (and specifically writing) is the means by which hierarchies of power are established and reinforced and it is crucial in defining and conveying the meaning of images. For artists, this poses particular, well-rehearsed problems as we try to find a path between the ‘not-knowing’, the uncertainties of the visual and the authority of the written word. Rather than becoming trapped in the conventions of authoritative text, this article argues for a different way of writing in both academia and in the art world at large: one that reflects the processes of visual practice and thinking. Drawing on current experiments in collaborative writing, it argues for forms of texts that are more akin to speech: texts that forgo the authority of the word in favour of approaches that provide a space where uncertain and imperfectly formed ideas can be expressed and tested.
Allometric models for estimating aboveground biomass and carbon stock for Diospyros mespiliformis in West Africa
Authors: Ouédraogo Korotimi , Dimobe Kangbéni , Thiombiano Adjima
Published: January 2020

Accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB) strongly depend on the suitability and precision of allometric models. Hochst. ex A. DC. is a key component of most sub-Sahara agroforestry systems and, one of the most economically important trees in Africa. Despite its importance, very few scientific information exists regarding its biomass and carbon storage potential. In this study direct method was used to develop site-specific biomass models for tree components in Burkina Faso. Allometric models were developed for stem, branch and leaf biomass using data from 39 tree harvested in Sudanian savannas of Burkina Faso. Diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, crown diameter (CD) and basal diameter (D) were regressed on biomass component using non-linear models with DBH alone, and DBH in combination with height and/or CD as predictor variables. Carbon content was estimated for each tree component using the ash method. Allometric models differed between the experimental sites, except for branch biomass models. Site-specific models developed in this study exhibited good model fit and performance, with explained variance of 81â98%. Using models developed from other areas would have underestimated or overestimated biomass by between â72% and +98%. Carbon content in aboveground components of in Tiogo, Boulon and Tapoa-Boopo was 55.40%âÂ±â1.50, 55.52%âÂ±â1.06 and 55.63%âÂ±â1.00, respectively, and did not vary significantly (-valueâ=â0.909). Site-specific models developed in this study are useful tool for estimating carbon stocks and can be used to accurately estimate tree components biomass in vegetation growing under similar conditions.Diospyros mespiliformisD. mespiliformis20D. mespiliformisP

Stan nauki. Węzłowe problemy – próba niepolitycznej oceny
Authors: Matuszewski Jacek
Published: January 2020

Stan dyscyplin historyczno-prawnych w Polsce zależy od polityki naukowej państwa, zatem na stan naszej dziedziny wpływać musi działalność związana ze sterowaniem nauką przez władzę publiczną (polityczną). Diagnoza stanu tak rozległej sfery działalności społecznej, jak nauka, wymaga dla zachowania racjonalności postępowania gruntownych, rozległych i obiektywnych badań, zwłaszcza że pamiętamy o niemal permanentnym stanie reformy, czyli polskim mechanizmie elastyczności organizacyjnej. A takich niezbędnych, kompleksowych badań nie prowadzi nikt, kierując się w podejmowaniu lub wspieraniu akcji reformatorskiej intuicją. Skoro działań reformatorskich nie poprzedza rzetelna analiza stanu materii, którą zamierzano reformować, to stosowane środki mogą prowadzić do efektów przeciwnych deklarowanym zamierzeniom: zamiast naprawiać rzekomo zrujnowaną naukę, prowadzić do jej rzeczywistej destrukcji.

Problems faced by a social worker when applying the law are connected with a large volume of legal acts, their interpretive unanimity and constant variability (disrupting the sense of stability).

Equally noteworthy is the method of transferring knowledge in the field of legal issues and taking into account the practical aspect of the presented issues. The study analyzed the curricula of selected universities in Poland, in the field of social work, in terms of students’ legal education.

Reform of the budget of the European Union as a process of strengthening the European identity. Are Europeans ready for it?
Authors: Nieborak Tomasz
Published: January 2020

Stan ﬁnansów Unii Europejskiej stanowi od wielu lat przedmiot ożywionej debaty publicznej. Dotyczy to kilku elementów, z których obecnie za najważniejsze należy uznać: kryzys ﬁnansowy, sytuację w streﬁe euro, kryzys migracyjny, a w ostatnim czasie wyzwania, przed jakimi stanie Unia Europejska w sytuacji opuszczenia jej przez Wielką Brytanię. Wszystkie wymienione elementy to jedynie część aktualnych problemów mogących zadecydować o przyszłości Zjednoczonej Europy – Europy, której proces jednoczenia, mimo niewątpliwych błędów popełnionych po drodze, uznać można za zakończony sukcesem. Wydaje się wszakże, iż w pewnym momencie ideologia jednoczenia przysłoniła istotę budowania efektywnych struktur europejskich. Zaczęły bowiem dominować interesy indywidualne poszczególnych państw, a wartości przyświecające ojcom założycielom Unii Europejskiej zostały zmarginalizowane. Dowodem na to jest sytuacja budżetu ogólnego Unii Europejskiej, który w swej istocie stanowić miał instrument realizacji idei i wartości unijnych. Niestety, poprzez wprowadzanie kolejnych wyjątków od zasad nim rządzących, wyrażających się między innymi w uprzywilejowaniu poszczególnych państw, doprowadzono do tego, że w dyskusji na jego temat zaczęła dominować retoryka zamykająca się w zdaniu: „kto dał więcej, a kto mniej”. W związku z tym zatracono sens realizacji zasady solidarności, tj. faktycznego wyrównywania szans pomiędzy państwami czy też regionami, a także wartości dodanej tworzonej przez poszczególne wydatki budżetowe. Należy stwierdzić, że wzrost nastrojów antyeuropejskich w połączeniu z powolnym odchodzeniem od fundamentalnych wartości, na których historycznie budowana była Europa, godzi w kształtowanie tożsamości europejskiej. Nie wszystko jednak stracone. Konieczne jest wprowadzenie zmian, które przywrócą Europie jej europejskość i pozwolą utrzymać pozycję we współczesnym świecie. Z całą pewnością jednym z instrumentów prowadzących do tego celu powinien być budżet ogólny Unii Europejskiej, którego struktura oraz mechanizmy funkcjonowania, podobnie jak instytucje unijne, muszą być wszakże poddane reformie.
