  • Appendices Appendix 1
    APPENDICES APPENDIX 1. SOURCES AND METHODS FOR THE SETTLEMENT MAP The median figures represented on the map refer to total agricultural population. The discrimination of agricultural and non-agricultural population is available in the local detail of the census materials only from Hungary and Eastern Germany. In all other countries, the medians for total rural population have been reduced proportionately to the ratio between rural and agricultural population. This procedure risks to some extent to over-estimate the size of agricultural villages, but this is largely compensated by the fact that agglomera­ tions of an urban character, where the majority of the population belongs to non-agricultural occupations, are not included in the area for which the com­ putation is made. The "agrotowns" in some Southern areas are on the other hand included among the agricultural settlement. The results thus obtained are, of course, reliable mainly in their broad features, and details should be read with caution. For the calculations here presented, administrative subdivisions have been followed. For reasons obvious in connection with a survey like this one, the administrative units are generally on the provincial level, and sometimes even larger subdivisions have had to be accepted as basis. It has not been possible to make the distribution to correspond with homogeneous geographical regions. Contrasts occurring at short distances are therefore largely hidden. In many instances it might have been desirable to calculate more fractiles, e.g. quartiles. In regions where the settlement consists of a combination of large rural centers and scattered farms, the median values may represent a size of village which is of rare occurrence.

  • 1. Formal and Legal Basis for Combating Terrorism
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/8142-184-3.22 Michał Stępiński 1. FORMAL AND LEGAL BASIS FOR COMBATING TERRORISM The threat of the use of CBRN-E in terrorist attacks means that law enforcement agencies must always be prepared to respond to such threats. This is just one part of the fight against terrorism. Efficiency in under such conditions requires interdisciplinary knowledge of: – The formal and legal basis for combating terrorism; – Decision-making under emergency conditions (e.g. in terrorist attacks); – Terrorism as a threat to public order; – Anti-terrorist actions involving CBRN materials. Knowledge of these areas will help incident responders to identify the threats posed by terrorism to public safety, to understand the functioning of the various anti-terrorist systems, and to prepare them for decision-making in response to terrorist incidents – particularly CBRN-E. Ensuring public security is one of the basic functions of the modern state. Terrorism is one of the greatest threats to the world and forces us to take action in the fight against it, to prevent and react to attacks. Like any state activity, the fight against terrorism must be based on legally binding acts and organisational arrangements. These must be influenced by both the domestic and international environments. Escalation of the potential for terrorist threats makes it necessary to continually improve anti-terrorism systems. Understanding the formal and legal bases for combating terrorism, and knowing what the legal and public security procedures are at the site of a terrorist attack, are all necessary preparations in the fight against terrorism. Security specialists should: 1.

  • POEM Final Technical Report
    E.02.06-POEM-D6.2-Final Technical Report Document information Project Title POEM Project Number E.02.06 Project Manager University of Westminster Deliverable Name Final Technical Report Deliverable ID 6.2 Edition 01.01.00 Template Version 03.00.00 Task contributors University of Westminster Fundación Instituto de Investigación Innaxis Abstract Central to the POEM (Passenger-Oriented Enhanced Metrics) project is the design of new performance metrics and their evaluation through a European network simulation model under novel flight and passenger prioritisation scenarios. A normative day with full passenger itineraries is simulated. Trade-offs between the (new) flight-centric and passenger-centric metrics are explored. The propagation of delay through the network is characterised using classical and complexity science techniques. The importance of using passenger-centric metrics in fully assessing system performance is repeatedly observed, since key changes are not expressed through any of the currently-used flight metrics. Most prioritisation scenarios perform similarly for high cancellation and high delay days, thus demonstrating robustness in terms of their efficacy under increased disruption. Smaller airports are significantly implicated in the propagation of delay. Back-propagation is also an important characteristic of the persistence of delay in the network.

Along with the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, in March, the United States completed the destruction of the so-called “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria. In October, the United States launched a military operation that resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “caliph” of ISIS. As part of the maximum pressure campaign against the Iranian regime – the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism – the United States and our partners imposed new sanctions on Tehran and its proxies. In April, the United States designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) – the first time such a designation has been applied to part of another government.

  • Annual Network Operations Report 2016
    ANNUAL NETWORK OPERATIONS REPORT 2016 ANNEX I - USERS VIEW 1 Airspace Users’ Key Points on Network Performance Summary of Airspace Users’ views presented at the 89th meeting of the Route Network Development Sub-Group (RNDSG) held at EUROCONTROL Headquarters between 27 September and 29 September 2016. Agenda Item 5.1.1: The Users’ View of the Summer Season 2016 (Presented by the International Air Transport Association – IATA) 1.1 Airline Bottom Line By tradition, the airline industry is characterized by capital intensity in combination with relatively low average profit margins of just a few percentages. With fuel representing an important part of airline total costs (alongside overflight charges, labor, maintenance, etc.), operational efficiency including route efficiency is key to successful business performance. Airlines need to operate their declared gate-to-gate flight schedule in the most cost effective and optimized manner, based on their individual trajectory business requirements, enabled by transparency and auditability of imposed constraints, in all phases of flight. 1.2 Network Performance So far in 2016, traffic is up around 2.3% compared to 2015, with average daily traffic levels now similar to the record year 2008. An all-time high was recorded on September 9 with 34594 flights. Year-to-date network enroute ATFM delay per flight is up compared to last year (around 1 min versus 0.76 min), and year- to-date network airport ATFM delay per flight remains at the 2015 level (around 0.66 min). ATC industrial action and weather, both considered to be uncontrollable from a network management perspective, are having a significant negative impact on network delay performance.

Bulgarian authorities continue to target Romani com- munities for forced evictions, and the de facto segregation of Roma continues in all areas of life, in particular in the spheres of residential segregation and segregation in healthcare facilities. Limited progress has been made with regards to enforcing legislation persecuting racially motivated hate crimes. Hate speech continues to affect Romani minorities in particular, leading to a number of instances of violence. In a number of cases, Bulgarian authorities have failed to protect Romani citizens from violent racist mobs attacking Romani communities and individuals.
