Authors: Hybka Małgorzata Magdalena
Published: July 2018

In the European Union Member States, value-added tax (VAT) is undergoing a continuous process of harmonization, which was initiated in the 1960s by the introduction of the First and Second Council Directives and which resulted in the implementation of the common tax assessment base. Currently, the European Union VAT system faces multiple challenges related in particular to the negative side effects of certain design features and progressing globalization. The main aim of this article is to discuss some dilemmas of the common VAT model. Particular attention is placed on the fiscal consequences of VAT preferences, as well as on the origins, components, and implications of the VAT gap. For the purpose of this analysis, 2 neighboring countries were selected, namely, Germany and Poland. On the basis of the national and Eurostat data, the author calculates the most significant VAT performance indicators and reviews the factors decreasing VAT efficiency in these countries in comparison to other European Union Member States.

Authors: Szymaniak Mariusz
Published: July 2018

The paper presents modernisation of the steam turbine stage situated in front of the turbine extraction point, based on a 225 MW turbine LP stage as an example. The modernised design is intended to better control the steam flow in this area. In the presented design a special ring is used to drive the steam leakage flow directly to the heat exchanger. The performed experiments and numerical analyses confirmed measurable exploitation and efficiency advantages of the introduced modernisation. So far, it has been successfully applied in a number of turbines working in inland power plants, but its use can be easily extended, without need for further modification and without advantage loss, to marine turbines, especially those used as main propulsion in sea-going vessels.
A New Approach of Coastal Cliff Monitoring using Mobile Laser Scanning
Authors: Ossowski Rafał , Tysiąc Paweł
Published: July 2018

The article proposes a new approach of coastal cliff monitoring which bases on a new comprehensive monitoring system, being a combination of mobile scanning from the sea with the geotechnical stability analysis. Mobile laser scanning is an innovative solution for 3D data collection which allows the monitored object geometry to be precisely measured, thus providing opportunities for series of analyses contributing to the development of an improved monitoring system. The authors present selected cliff profiles obtained from mobile scanning in the area of Jastrzebia Gora, complemented by relevant geotechnical analyses. The analysis of current cliff geometry is accompanied by calculations of hypothetical cliff profile changes resulting from possible action of nature forces. Finally, a comprehensive strategy for coastal cliff monitoring is proposed.

PUFF dağılım modellemesi ve hava kalitesi değerlendirmesinde kullanımı
Authors: DEMİRARSLAN Kazım Onur
Published: July 2018

Toplumların gelişimini sağlayan ve tek tek bireylere kadar yaşantılarını kolaylaştıran 21. Yüzyılın teknolojik gelişmeleri, faydacılığının yanında birçok çevre sorununu da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çevre sorunlarından birisi de hava kirliliğidir. Özellikle çarpık kentleşme, alt yapı eksiklikleri nedeniyle ısınmada karbon salınımı fazla olan katı yakıt kullanımı, plansız sanayileşme ile sanayi işletmelerinde filtrasyon eksikliği, hava kalitesi üzerinde kirletici etkilere neden olmakta ve hava kalitesini insanların yaşam standartlarını etkileyecek düzeye kadar düşürmektedir. Bu nedenle gerek mevcut hava kirletici kaynaklarından çıkan maddelerin dağılımı, gerekse yeni planlanacak sanayi, otoyol ve konutlar gibi potansiyel kirleticilerin hava kalitesi açısından yer seçimlerinde çeşitli dağılım modelleri kullanılmaktadır. Atmosfere bırakılan kirleticiler, hava akımlarıyla uzun mesafelere; hatta kıtaları aşacak kadar dahi uzaklara taşınabilmekte, yerel hava koşullarıyla veya türbülanslarla seyrelebilseler bile, kirlilik oranları yine de kabul edilebilir seviyelerin üzerinde ölçülebilmektedir. Hava akımlarıyla yayılan kirleticiler, atmosfer içerisindeki farklı ölçeklerdeki türbülanslar nedeniyle oldukça karmaşık yapıya sahiptirler. Kirletici konsantrasyonları önemli derecede, zamana göre değişiklik gösteren hava koşullarından (özellikle rüzgar, yağmur, kar, sis) etkilenmektedir. Meteorolojik olaylar kirletici dağılımlarında ana rolü teşkil etmektedir, bunun nedeni ise, kirleticilerin atmosferde seyrelme etkisinin tanımlanmasında birincil faktör olmasındandır. Dağılım modelleri ise atmosferde meydana gelen tüm bu olayları matematiksel yollarla hesaplayarak kirletici dağılımlarını kaynaktan itibaren metrelerce veya kilometrelerce uzaklıktaki konsantrasyonlarını hesaplayabilmektedir. Literatürde birçok dağılım yöntemi geliştirilmiş olup hepsinin birbirlerine avantaj ve dezavantajları bulunmaktadır. Sözü edilen bu dağılım tahmin yöntemlerinden birtanesi de PUFF dağılımdır. Yapılan bu çalışmada hava kirliliği dağılım tahminlerinde sıklıkla kullanılan PUFF dağılım yöntemi hakkında literatür taraması çalışması yapılmış ve bu modelleme yönteminin özellikleri hakkında Türkçe kaynak boşluğunun doldurulması hedeflenmiştir.

Is Liberalism Committed to Its Own Demise?
Authors: Joshi Hrishikesh Suhas
Published: July 2018

Are immigration restrictions compatible with liberalism? Recently, Freiman and Hidalgo (2016) have argued that immigration restrictions conflict with the core commitments of liberalism. A society with immigration restrictions in place may well be optimal in some desired respects, but it is not liberal, they argue. So if you care about liberalism more deeply than you care about immigration restrictions, you should give up on restrictionism. You can’t hold on to both. I argue here that many restrictions on contractual, economic, and associational liberties seem to be justified by considerations other than liberty – thus the (undischarged) task for Freiman and Hidalgo is to tell us why such restrictions are justified but immigration restrictions are not. Moreover, even if this worry can be addressed, I argue, liberalism is not committed to its own demise in scenarios where there exist large enough numbers of would-be immigrants who accept and endorse illiberal norms in a way that is sufficiently resistant to change. Such a commitment requires thinking of border coercion as violating an absolute deontological constraint. This, I contend, is implausible.
