description: The Judy Field is a northwest plunging horst located on the northern part of the Josephine Ridge in Block 30/7a, UK Central North Sea. The field is subdivided by a series of north-northwest and northwest striking faults which form isolated fault blocks. The 30/7a-11z well was the fifth appraisal well in Judy Field and is located in a fault block to the north of the Judy Platform. The primary producing reservoirs of this field are the Middle to Upper Triassic Joanne and Judy Sandstone Members of the Skaggerak Formation with minor contribution from the Upper Jurassic Fulmar Formation. Detailed analysis of the Triassic core from the appraisal wells revealed 11 facies types which were grouped in four main facies associations (channel sandstone and sheetflood sandstone as reservoirs and argillaceous sandstone and lacustrine mudstone generally as non-reservoirs). The present-day porosity and permeability of these facies is the result of the relatively high primary porosity being slightly enhanced by diagenesis. The main diagenetic enhancement mechanisms were carbonate and feldspar dissolution by aggressive pore fluids. Predicting the reservoir performance from the Triassic section is difficult since the core data indicates a highly permeable reservoir whereas the interpreted depositional environment suggests a much lower interconnected permeability. Initial drill stem tests from the appraisal wells indicated horizontal permeability (Kh) values approximately one order of a magnitude lower than the core data. Based on these data, a simplistic layered reservoir model was created to mimic the relative variability in Kh seen in the core but with absolute values closer to the DST derived Kh. This model was utilised to site seven production wells which targeted the main interpreted fault blocks in the field. The long-term production from these wells indicated that the 'effective permeability' of the reservoir was another approximate order of magnitude lower than the DST Kh data. The lower than anticipated permeability resulted in a more rapid decline from plateau rate than anticipated but the anticipated reserves would be produced over a longer period of time.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf einer Skihalle in Dänemark. Den Anstoß für dieses Projekt bekam ich bei meinem Auslandsaufenthalt in Aalborg, wo ich von den Dänen erfahren konnte, dass es ihnen besonders an Freizeitmöglichkeiten, wie Skifahren, Wandern und Mountainbiken, also vor allem Möglichkeiten, die uns hierzulande unsere gebirgige Landschaft bieten kann, mangelt. Die höchste Erhebung in Dänemark ist gerade einmal 170,86 m hoch (Mollehoj). Kopenhagen, in unmittelbarer Nähe vom Kopenhagener Hauptbahnhof und den Vergnügungspark Tivoli. Ein idealer Standort, um das Skivergnügen zu Fuß oder per öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel zu erreichen. Bei dem Projekt Indoor- und Outdoor Skifahren in Dänemark war es mir wichtig, ein vielseitiges und interessantes Freizeitprojekt zu soll eine Outdoor-Piste, die in der kalten Jahreszeit genutzt werden kann, ein naturgetreueres Gefühl zum Skifahren vermitteln.
description: This master thesis is about the design of an indoor skiing centre in Denmark. The impetus towards this project was given by an exchange semester in Aalborg. I found out that they lack most of leisure opportunities like skiing, hiking and mountain biking, thus opportunities, we get from our mountainous landscape here in Austria. The highest survey in Denmark is just 170.86 m high. (Mollehoj) The site is located in a district of Copenhagen named Vesterbro, close to the central railway station and the amusement park Tivoli. Hence, the location is perfect to reach by foot or public transportation. For me it was important to create a diverse and interesting leisure project, which can offer somethingfor each user group. Besides there is an outdoor slope, which can be used in the cold season and shall give a life-like feeling for skiing.
Changes in the export instability of less developed countries – a dissenting note

description: The article provides a re-examination of Lancieri’s recent findings on export instability and his claim that there was no decline in developing countries from 1950 to 1972. The author concludes that there was indeed a mild decline and that Lancieri’s findings are actually consistent with earlier research. It is argued that export instability in less developed countries fell between the fifties and the sixties, but began to grow in the late sixties and early seventies. This places the current stabilisation issue in a consistent historical setting. JEL: F10, E20

description: Coherent Rashba spin precession along interacting multi-mode quantum channels is investigated, revisiting the theory of coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. We identify susceptibilities as the key-parameters to govern exponents and Rashba precession lengths. In semiconducting quantum wires spins of different transport channels are found to {\em dephase} in their respective precession angles with respect to one another, as a result of the interaction. This could explain the experimental difficulty to realize the Datta Das transistor. In single walled carbon nanotubes, on the other hand, interactions are predicted to suppress dephasing between the two flavor modes at small doping.

description: The relations for the polarizability of the metallic nanoparticles, coated with the shell of cyanine dyes, are obtained in the article. The frequency dependencies for light absorption and scattering efficiencies, the heating of the composite nanoparticle and the electric field amplification in its neighborhood are studied. It is established that all the dependencies have three maxima which correspond to the frequencies of hybrid plasmon-exciton resonance. It is shown that an increase in content of metal in the nanoparticle causes a blue shift of the maxima from the visible part of the spectrum and a red shift of the maximum from ultraviolet frequency range. The issue of application of metal-organic nanoparticles in nanomedicine, in particular for the photothermal therapy of malignant neoplasms is studied.

description: Excitons are neutral excitations that are composed of electrons and holes bound together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. The electron and the hole forming the exciton also interact with the underlying atomic lattice, and this interaction can lead to a trapping potential that favors exciton localization. The quasi-particle thus formed by the exciton and the surrounding lattice distortion is called excitonic polaron. Excitonic polarons have long been thought to exist in a variety of materials, and are often invoked to explain the Stokes shift between the optical absorption edge and the photo-luminescence peak. However, quantitative ab initio calculations of these effects are exceedingly rare. In this manuscript, we present a theory of excitonic polarons that is amenable to first-principles calculations. We first apply this theory to model Hamiltonians for Wannier excitons experiencing Fröhlich or Holstein electron-phonon couplings. We find that, in the case of Fröhlich interactions, excitonic polarons only form when there is a significant difference between electron and hole effective masses. Then, we apply this theory to calculating excitonic polarons in lithium fluoride ab initio. The key advantage of the present approach is that it does not require supercells, therefore it can be used to study a variety of materials hosting either small or large excitonic polarons. This work constitutes the first step toward a complete ab initio many-body theory of excitonic polarons in real materials.

description: We study the probability that three GRBs (980425, 030329, 031203) are found within z=0.17, given the luminosity functions consistent with the log N-log S relationship for classical cosmological bursts (i.e., those observed by BATSE). We show that, in order for the probability of these three low-z events to be non-negligible (thus making it more likely that they belong to the same class of the classical cosmological bursts), the bursts' luminosity function must be a broken powerlaw. By reasoning in analogy with beamed AGNs, we show that observations are consistent with the expectations if GRB 980425 and GRB 031203 are indeed normal bursts seen sideways. Within this model, no bright burst within z=0.17 should be observed by a HETE--like instrument within the next \sim 20 yr.

description: We discuss the production of W bosons at large transverse momentum in p pbar collisions at the Tevatron Run I and II. W boson hadroproduction is a process of relevance in testing the Standard Model and in estimates of backgrounds to new physics. The next-to-leading order cross section in the region of large transverse momentum is dominated by threshold soft-gluon corrections which arise from incomplete cancellations near partonic threshold between graphs with real emission and virtual graphs due to the limited phase space available for real gluon emission. In this contribution it is shown how, by including next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) soft-gluon corrections, the transverse momentum distribution of the W at the Tevatron is modestly enhanced and the dependence on the factorization and renormalization scales is significantly reduced.

description: Az emberek a munka világában sikereket, karriert szeretnének elérni. Ez természetesen egyénenként eltérő, hiszen mindenkinek mást jelent a siker, a karrier. A szervezetek egyre nagyobb hangsúlyt fektetnek a karriermenedzsmentre. A cikkben hallgatók körében végzett kutatásaink eredményeit ismertetjük. A felmérés oka az a tapasztalat, hogy az egyetemisták döntő többsége nem igazán tudja, mi az ő saját karrierorientációja, egyáltalán a munkával kapcsolatban mi motiválja. A kutatásaink során karrierhorgony-, illetve a Super-féle munkaérték-kérdőíveket használtuk. A vizsgálat során összesen 235 nappali tagozatos hallgatót kérdeztünk meg. Az eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy a mintába került hallgatók a társas kapcsolatokat alulértékelték, jelenleg még nem látják, hogy a kapcsolatok építése, ápolása kimagasló szereppel bír a karrierjük építése szempontjából. Az önérvényesítés és önmegvalósítás természetesen nagy szereppel bír a hallgatók elhelyezkedését követően is. A vállalatok részére a Balanced Scorecard-modell tanulási és fejlődési nézőpontjának alkalmazása lehetőséget biztosít az alkalmazottak elégedettségének növelésére, ezáltal a vállalati teljesítmény fokozására. ---------- People would like to achieve succes and career on the working life. This is of course different from individual to individual. Everyone else is the succes and career. The organizations are placing greater emphasis on career management. This article describes the results of research conducted among students. The reason for the survey is the experience that the vast majority of students do not really know what his own career orientation, not at all related to what motivates the work. During the resurch were used two questionnaires, Shein’s career anchor and Super’s work values inventory. Based on the results the students surveyed considered the least important social relationships. It is not yet see that construction of cultivating relationships are very important in terms of career development. The results fit to make students were interviewed. The self-assertion and self-realization, of course, has a big role even after the students get a job. The companies use the Balanced Scorecard model „learning and development” perspective provides an opportunity to improve employee satisfaction thus enhancing the performance of the companies.

description: Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as an enabling technology to achieve smart and reconfigurable wireless communication environment cost-effectively. Prior works on IRS mainly consider its passive beamforming design and performance optimization without the inter-IRS signal reflection, which thus do not unveil the full potential of multi-IRS assisted wireless networks. In this paper, we study a double-IRS assisted multi-user communication system with the \emph{cooperative} passive beamforming design that captures the multiplicative beamforming gain from the inter-IRS channel. Under the general channel setup with the co-existence of both double- and single-reflection links, we jointly optimize the (active) receive beamforming at the base station (BS) and the cooperative (passive) reflect beamforming at the two distributed IRSs (deployed near the BS and users, respectively) to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of all users. Moreover, for the single-user and multi-user setups, we analytically show the superior performance of the double-IRS cooperative system over the conventional single-IRS system in terms of the maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and multi-user effective channel rank, respectively. Simulation results validate our analytical results and show the practical advantages of the proposed double-IRS system with cooperative passive beamforming designs.

description: intra Volgian/Kimmeridgian age, of the Magnus Sandstone Member (MSM) and the Lower Kimmeridge Clay Formation (LKCF). The reservoir sandstones of the Magnus Field are enveloped by the organic-rich mudstones of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation that form the source rock. The MSM is dominated by a high net to gross, stacked accumulation of thickbedded fine- to coarse-grained sandstone units (individually about 2 m thick, but occasionally up to 7 m thick) separated by thin shale layers. The main reservoir sands were primarily deposited by high-density turbidity currents although low-density turbidites resulted in deposition of poorer quality sands. In contrast, the LKCF comprises a low net to gross sequence of thin sands (generally 0.1 up to 3m in thickness) separated by thicker shale units representing influx of dilute muddy turbidites with intermittent episodes of sand deposition from high density turbidites. The shale interbeds provide local to field-wide layering of the reservoir and may locally be pressure barriers. In recent wells, the lower parts of each sand package is shown to have been well-swept by waterflood whereas the upper part of the sands has remained relatively unswept. It is this unswept oil that is a key prize for Enhanced Oil Recovery by gas injection.

We report an experimental study on the momentum correlation properties of a pseudo-thermal field in the photon counting regime. The characterization and understanding of such a light source in the context of two photon physics, especially its similarities and differences compared to entangled two-photon states, is useful in gaining knowledge of entanglement and may help us to assess the real potential of applications of chaotic light in this context.

description: Recently Babar and Belle collaborations have measured direct CP asymmetry $A_{CP}=-0.114\pm 0.020$ in $\bar B^0 \to K^- π^+$. The experimental value is substantially different from QCD factorization prediction. We show that SUSY flavor changing neutral current interaction via gluonic dipole can explain the difference. CP asymmetries in other $B\to Kπ$ decays are predicted to be sizeable. Taking this asymmetry as a constraint, we find that the allowed SUSY parameter space is considerably reduced compared with constraint from $B\to X_s γ$ alone. We also find that the allowed time dependent CP asymmetries $S_f$ in $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^{* 0}γ\to π^0 K_S γ$ and $\bar B^0\to ϕK_S$ to be large. These predictions are quite different than those predicted in the Standard Model and can be tested in the near future.

Managers deal with their employees in different ways. Some are strict with their staff and like to be in complete control, whilst others are more relaxed and allow workers the freedom to run their own working lives. Depending on business circumstances, a manager might need to employ more than one leadership style in a more or less formal way to achieve the highest degree of effectiveness. A variety of leadership style types exist, such as autocratic, paternalistic, laissez-faire, democratic, participatory, supervisory etc. The purpose of this study is to find out how the leadership style effects on functioning of the organization. In the theory part of my paper I describe the various domestic and international concepts of leadership, its goals, the different leading styles and theories. In the practice part of my paper I analysed the leading style of some selected small and medium-sized enterprises with the help of questionnaires.
Oil push inflation?

subject: E31

description: The present work investigates the “oilpush” view of inflation, its line of reasoning and its conclusions, by examining the evolution of inflation and related variables in six countries, over the period 1968-1978. The paper is mainly empirical, using standard propositions from macroeconomics and monetary theory which are in the background, however, rather than the forefront. The oil push hypothesis is first examined and found to be lacking in empirical content. The monetary policies of the last decade are then reviewed and found to account well for the evolution of inflation. Finally, the costs of the reduction of inflations in the post-1973 period are briefly examined. JEL: E31

Subjects: subject: Interest rate policy, less developed countries
subject: E43, E52, E63

description: The work argues that many of the issues that have figured in interest rate policy discussions in the context of less developed countries are false, arising partly from terminological nuances, but largely from incorrect premises and approaches. As a result, there has been a fair amount of needless obfuscation in the design and pursuit of interest rate policies, and misdirection of effort in empirical research. An attempt is therefore made to unravel the various issues involved in the logical basis of the interest rate policies pursued in less developed countries, and after winnowing the false ones, to synthesise them in a consistent and cohesive fashion so that the real import of such policies emerges more clearly.

description: Otter is the most north-westerly of the Brent Province fields of the Northern North Sea, located in UK blocks 210/15a and 210/20d, 530 km north of Aberdeen, operated by TOTAL with partners Shell U.K. Exploration and Production, ExxonMobil and Dana. The field was discovered by the Phillips 210/15-2 well in 1977 (then called Wendy) and appraised by Fina well 210/15a- 5 in 1997, following 3D seismic acquisition in 1994. Decision to proceed with development was confirmed after the success of appraisal well 210/15a-6 drilled by TotalFina in 2000. The Otter structure is an easterly dipping tilted panel that is divided into four major blocks and several minor blocks by a network of subsidiary faults. The reservoir is the Middle Jurassic Brent Group, with the uppermost Tarbert Formation shallow marine sandstones comprising the main producing target. The oil source rock is the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay, present in the offstructure areas, though locally absent over the Otter field area, top seal being provided by the Mid to Late Jurassic Heather shales. The Otter oil is a medium gravity crude (36.5° API) with a GOR of 79m3/m3 (443 scf/bbl), in a normally pressured reservoir at a crestal depth of 1970m subsea. The core displays from the 210/15a-5 and 210/15-2 wells, illustrate the major reservoir target of the Tarbert, the upper contact with the Heather Formation caprock and the facies variations in the underlying channelised Ness formation. The 2002 to 2003 Otter field development drilling campaign utilised a combination of detailed trajectory planning and integrated geosteering techniques, including real time transmission of borehole image data and wellsite chemostratigraphy. The objective of this work was to maximise oil recovery, with a minimum number of wells, from the complexly faulted Otter structure. To achieve this, sub-horizontal production wells were planned to track near top reservoir, through the structural culminations, to connect adjacent fault blocks. Illustrations of this work are presented in the accompanying poster displays.

The strategy to meet this challenge must be multifaceted, as the issue is complex, involving not only completely differing species/taxonomic groups but also different ecosystems and locations which are influenced by varying human actions. In a report prepared by CAB International, a total of 552 exotic and 446 naturalised and/or native species belonging to 24 groupings (trees and insects, 399 and 135 species respectively, being the largest groups) have been reported in the region. A shortlist of 23 major invasive species threats was presented as those occurring in five or more (up to 16 countries for some species) Caribbean countries. Research is a pivotal component of any developed strategy to tackle any type of invasive. Although the majority of reported invasive species in the region are not agricultural pests, for the purposes of this paper, only species relevant to agriculture were considered. The two case studies selected; Hibiscus mealybug, a notable success story, and whitefly and whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses, an ongoing challenge, highlight the role, value and limitations of agricultural research interventions in the Caribbean context.

Indoartemon

description: Genus Indoartemon Forcart, 1946
 Odontartemon (Odontartemon): Kobelt, 1905: 91 (non Pfeiffer, 1856). Thiele, 1931: 730.
 Oophana (Indoartemon) Forcart, 1946: 215. Benthem Jutting, 1954: 95.
 Indoartemon: Zilch, 1960: 562. Richardson, 1988: 223–225. Schileyko, 2000: 776, 777.
 Type species. Streptaxis eburnea Pfeiffer, 1861, by original designation.
 Remark. Shells of Oophana and Indoartemon are similar but there are differences in the apertural dentition. Indoartemon possesses one parietal lamella and one palatal lamella; in addition basal and columellar lamellae are present in I. layardianus (Benson, 1853) and I. cingalensis (Benson, 1853). Apertural dentition of Oophana usually includes a single parietal lamella, palatal lamella, basal lamella, and columellar lamella. An upper palatal lamella or supracolumellar lamella are present in some species such as Oophana strangulatus (Möllendorff, 1894), O. diplodon (Möllendorff, 1900), and O. pachyglottis (Möllendorff, 1900).
 The first genital morphological study of Indoartemon presented here indicates that the following characters may be diagnostic for the genus; a long penis with a thin penial sheath extending about half of the penis length; penial hooks present. The vas deferens does not pass through the penial sheath. The seminal vesicle is about one and a half times longer than the length from the talon to the branching point of the seminal vesicle. In Oophana the vas deferens enters the penial sheath distally, penial hooks and a seminal vesicle are present (Berry, 1963).

Exotic herbivores facilitate the exotic grasses they graze : mechanisms for an unexpected "invasional meltdown"
Creators: name: Best, Rebecca Jane

description: Native communities increasingly host exotic species at multiple trophic levels, but most current hypotheses about community invasibility consider only a single invader. In addition to the simultaneous effects of native herbivores and native plant competitors on community invasibility, we must also consider the possibility of positive or negative feedback cycles between exotic species at multiple trophic levels. Though examples of mutually-beneficial interactions between exotic species have been described, and the possibility of subsequent "invasional meltdown" scenarios raised, few studies have been quantitative or mechanistic. I studied the co-invasion of an endangered island ecosystem by exotic Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and eight exotic annual grasses to estimate the synergistic effects of novel inter- and intra-trophic interactions on the invasion success of the grasses. Geese fed selectively on the exotic grasses, causing them to produce a higher number of short stems. This appeared to be an efficient reproductive and competitive strategy, allowing the grasses to form dense lawns with reduced occurrence of native forbs not adapted to compete under grazing or with grass. The demographic success of the exotic grasses was thus a product of both novel inter-trophic interactions with geese and novel intratrophic interactions with the native plant community. In combination, these interactions produced an unexpected outcome. Current theory suggests the grasses should be limited by a selective enemy, but my work shows that co-evolved grazer and grass strategies benefited exotic species at both trophic levels. Selective herbivory by geese also facilitated their dispersal of exotic grass seed between heavily invaded feeding areas and small islands used for nesting. In sum, selective herbivory by geese resulted in the spread and proliferation of their preferred food source. This unexpected case of positive feedback between invaders suggests two avenues for strengthening current theoretical frameworks. Robust hypotheses for predicting invasion success must account for multiple novel interactions, and for the degree of shared evolutionary context between multiple invaders.

Indoartemon prestoni

description: Indoartemon prestoni (Gude, 1903)
(Figs. 1, 3C, D, Table 1)
 Streptaxis prestoni Gude, 1903: 322, 323, pl. 12, figs 17–19. Type locality: Lampun, Siam.
 Haploptychius prestoni: Kobelt, 1906: 140, 141, pl. 62, figs 16–18. Zilch, 1961: 84. Richardson, 1988: 219.
 Oophana (Indoartemon) prestoni: Benthem Jutting, 1954: 96.
 Material examined. Of the two specimens mentioned by Gude (1903: 323) the single syntype in the lot NHMUK 1922.8.29.5 (Fig. 3C) is here designated as the lectotype. Additional record: CUMZ 5015 (12 shells; Fig. 3D), Wat Tam Ra-Khang, Si Samrong, Sukhothai, northern central lowlands, Thailand. Isolated limestone hills reaching about 200 m above mean sea level (17°9.6'6.0"N, 99°33'35.7"E).
 Indoartemon prestoni can be distinguished from I. laevis from Myanmar by its higher spire and distinct suture, regularly expanding whorls, deeper umbilicus and presence of a basal lamella. This species differs from I. cingalensis in its larger shell, lower spire, presence of a columellar lamella and in the last whorl being more deviated from the vertical axis. Indoartemon prestoni can be distinguished from I. eburnea by its lower spire with indistinct suture, the last whorl being more deviated from the vertical axis and a widely open umbilicus. Indoartemon prestoni has been placed in Haploptychius and Remarks. An oblique-heliciform shell with 7–7¾ whorls, white, glossy, translucent with distinct sutures. Fine transverse ridges diminish below the periphery. Smooth embryonic shell with about 2½ whorls. Periphery rounded, earlier whorls do not extend beyond the diameter of the axially deflected last whorl. Umbilicus open. Aperture subcircular, peristome thickened and expanded. Apertural dentition composed of one parietal lamella and palatal lamella (Fig. 3D).
 Oophana, but the presence of a single parietal lamella and a single palatal lamella confirm its position in Indoartemon.

description: The exotic scale, Andaspis punicae (Homoptera: Diaspididae), was detected in 1993 in Florida invading litchi groves. It caused dieback of branches, reduced tree vigor and eventually killed the trees. During 2004 this scale was detected in Puerto Rico affecting litchis. The scale has also been associated with symptoms known as 'corky bark' in Florida. Here we present preliminary results of studies on scale biology, chemical control, efforts toward biological control with parasitoids and preliminary results of the possible association between the scale and the causal agent of 'corky bark'. On-going studies on scale biology demonstrated that the life cycle of the scales is longer than 40 days. Surveys in Florida and Guam showed that the scale was found in Litchi chinensis, Euphoria longan, Mangifera indica, Annona cherimola χ A. squamosa and Rambutan, Nephelium lappaceum. In Florida, levels of parasitism by the native parasitoid Encarsia lounsburyi (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) ranged between 2.9 and 26.1 percent. E. lounsburyi was also found parasitizing the scale species in Puerto Rico. Parasitism in Guam was caused by Encarsia inquirenda. The chemicals, KnackR (Pyriproxyfen), ApplaudR (buprofezin), imidacloprid and NovaluronR (benzoylurea) provided significant scale control 50 days after their application, but their use is restricted by application costs. Effect of a fungicide and an insecticide on scale development and symptoms of corky bark were studied during 2004.
Western economic performance in the 1970s: a perspective and assessment
Creators: name: MADDISON, A.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: 1970s, growth, inflation, economic policy
subject: E31, E65

description: In the “golden age” of the 1950s and 1960s economic growth in the advanced capitalist countries surpassed virtually all historical records. Growth performance in the 1970s then deteriorated significantly, and the pace of inflation more than doubled. The present paper looks at questions related to the slowdown in growth rates and the acceleration of price increases in this period. The author first analyses to what extent favourable performance in the 50s and 60s was due to chance or good policy. Conversely, the extent to which deterioration in the 70s was due to circumstance or bad policy is then considered. Finally, the degree of success or failure of economic policy in the 70s is dealt with. JEL: E31, E65

description: Tropical islands are characterized by an abundant but fragile biodiversity. It is considered that sustainable development on tropical islands including the preservation of biodiversity can be accomplished only taking advantage of the skills of local communities. A better knowledge of interactions between ecosystems' dynamics and human activities, as well as the establishment of collaborative inter-island networks at different geographic, institutional and thematic scales is essential to generate development, which concomitantly preserves the rich insular biodiversity.

description: This paper was presented at the Second International Seminar on European Economic and Monetary Union, held in Geneva in December of 1979. The work deals with the European Monetary Fund and the challenges it faces going forward. The author’s main concern is not so much to offer solutions as to provide the proper framework for finding them. Three main subjects are identified as constituting the pillars of the next stage of the European Monetary System: credit mechanisms, exchange rate arrangements, and the ECU. Each of these three pillars has to be built on solid foundations and in such a way as to allow progress from a “looser” to a “tighter” system. JEL: F33, F36
