ECE/CEP/133 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. 07.II.E.6 ISBN 978-92-1-116958-4 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs) for countries in transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second “Environment for Europe” Conference in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1993. As a result, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the EPRs a part of its regular programme. Ten years later, at the fifth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers confirmed that the UNECE programme of EPRs had made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the efforts of countries with economies in transition to manage their environment. The Programme has addressed tailor-made recommendations to the Governments concerned on improving environmental management to reduce their pollution load, to better integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. The Ministers also reaffirmed their support for the EPR programme as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and they decided that the programme should proceed with a second cycle of reviews.

  • Gender Equality at Local Level: Challenges and Opportunities in Ukraine 21-22 February 2018 Hotel “President”, 12, Hospitalna Str., Kyiv, Ukraine
    Gender equality at local level: challenges and opportunities in Ukraine 21-22 February 2018 Hotel “President”, 12, Hospitalna Str., Kyiv, Ukraine Context Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured. The Council of Europe Congress of Local and Regional Authorities (the Congress) is organising jointly with the Association of Ukrainian Cities (AUC) a workshop to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to gender equality at local level in Ukraine. This workshop aims to promote gender mainstreaming in the work of local authorities, and more particularly the role of national associations of local authorities in supporting their members in this respect. Through an interactive programme which combines peer exchanges between representatives of European associations of local and regional authorities and inputs from local and international experts, the participants of the workshop will debate on topical issues specific to gender equality, gender mainstreaming and gender sensitive policies at local level. The workshop is organised within the Council of Europe Congress project “Strengthening capacity of local elected authorities” which aims to improve the implementation of democratic principles in Ukraine by enhancing the institutional and leadership capacities of local elected representatives, and by disseminating

The common tendency of mine rail haulage improvement is to increase axial power of electrical equipment traction, wagon capacity, and enhancing the speed of movement. In this context, it is typical for mine machine-building design to equip only locomotives with brake facilities. Thus, specific value of braking force of a train cannot exceed basic specific resistance to its movement. Test results of carriage rolling stock as for its braking efficiency as well as for its structural and dynamic analysis of braking mechanism have shown that a shoe-wheel brake of mine locomotives is not efficient under operation brake conditions in terms of the parametric reliability indices; hence, it is not applicable as an analogue for a trailing train part. The objective of the research is to determine a type of structural uncertainty while identifying brake conditions for adaptive control of alternative-structure tribologic system.
