After loans or credits are signed, entries are dropped from the MOS. By becoming familiar with the Bank's "project cycle," summarized in the following paragraphs, consultants or suppliers of goods and works can gauge when the timing is right for them to pursue business opportunities with Bank borrowers. Each entry in the MOS tells at what point in the project cycle a particular project resides. During IDENTIFICATION, both governments and the Bank are involved in analyzing development strategies for the borrower's economy as a whole and in identifying projects that support those strategies. When the project identification is completed, the Project Information Document will be available through the Public Information Center -see below for more information. PREPARATION, the second stage of the cycle, is the responsibility of the borrower. During preparation, the technical and institutional alternatives for achieving a project's objectives are identified and discussed. Preparation usually requires feasibility studies followed by more detailed studies of the alternatives that promise to yield the most satisfactory results. The environmental assessment is usually carried out during this phase-see below for more information on environmental assessment. In this stage of the project cycle, borrowers often supplement their own efforts by hiring consultants to carry out a major part of the work. Project APPRAISAL, the responsibility of the Bank, provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of the project (technical, institutional, economic, and financial) and lays the foundation for implementing the project and evaluating it when completed. Conducted by Bank staff, project appraisal may be supplemented by individual experts. A Staff Appraisal Report is published following this stage. During NEGOTIATIONS, discussions are held between the Bank and the borrower and agreements reached are contained in the draft loan documents. Upon completion of negotiations, the project is then presented to the Executive Directors of the Bank for their consideration. After approval, the loan agreement is signed. IMPLEMENTATION of a project usually starts after the loan is declared effective, which can normally be expected to take a few months after loan signing. Contractors and suppliers, therefore, should contact borrowers expressing their interest in specific projects. They should obtain information on what goods and services will be needed, and when and how to submit bids and proposals. During implementation, consultants are often used to provide technical assistance and other project implementation support. As contracts for consulting services are not usually advertised, consultants, in particular, should contact the responsible implementing agency early in the project preparation period to express their interest. Within each region, projects are classified by the following sector designations: Agriculture Education/Training Private Sector Development Environment Public Sector Management Finance Social sector Industry Structural Adjustment Infrastructure Transport Population, Health, and Nutrition Urban Development Power Telecommunications Water Supply/Sanitation A typical entry in the MOS looks like this: Kenya o Country Water Supply/Sanitation < ~~~~~~~~~~~Sector Mombasa Water and Sanitation: The project seeks to (a) develop ground water sources; (b) improve the transmission Title line between Baricho Well Field and Mombasa; and * Project and (c) provideemergency measures to Description improve distribution systems and reduce unaccounted for water.

Under type, timing and main issues this environmental assessment process, of environmental analysis to be performed the time that a given lending operation by the borrower are to be confirmed is initiated into the Bank's prospective at the and updated on a quarterly basis lending program and thereafter reported in the Monthly Operational Summary. In October 1991 the Bank revised its policies and procedures categories based so that projects are now assigned upon the nature, magnitude, and one of the following sensitivity of environmental issues: Category A - Environmental Assessment is normally required adverse as the project may have and significant environmental impacts. Category B - More limited environmental analysis is appropriate, as the project may specific environmental impacts. have Category C - Environmental analysis is normally unnecessary. "U" (unclassified) is being introduced to indicate structural and sectoral one of the above three adjustment loans, which do categories for purposes of the directive not fall within governing environmental assessment. The 1991 revision also introduced the use of a standard environmental main issues and schedule data sheet for all projects to identify for any required environmental analysis. the Project descriptions in every issue of the Monthly or Operational Summary include C, except in the case of structural the environmental category A, and sectoral adjustment loans which B, (in the January, April, July and are designated "U". On a quarterly October issues) the Monthly Operational basis annex which includes the environmental Summary contains an environmental data sheets for Category A projects, projects, and a listing of projects data sheet headers for Category in Categories C and T ("to be determined").

  • Facsimile Reconstruction of Villa Bozic with the Application of Energy Efficiency Measures
    Facsimile Reconstruction of Villa Bozic with the Application of Energy Efficiency Measures Siniša Cvijić Environmental Protection Fund of Republika Srpska Banja Luka e-mail:[email protected] [email protected] Tijana Glamočić1 Environmental Protection Fund of Republika Srpska Banja Luka e-mail:[email protected] Milovan Kotur2 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering University of Banja Luka e-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT The paper examines the reasons for carrying out the facsimile reconstruction of Villa Božić in Banja Luka, with the application of energy efficiency measures. The villa was built in 1912 by the prominent Croatian architect Rudolf Lubynski. It was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1969 and completely demolished in 2002. The proposal to reconstruct the entire villa in its original form takes into account its historical value, the possibility to change its use and use modern materials to reduce its energy consumption. The methods proposed concern the installation of thermal insulation, LED lighting and geothermal heat pumps. Relevant computer software was used to simulate the results of the proposed energy consumption scheme. The results obtained taking into account the proposed energy efficiency measures are compared with those obtained without their application. KEYWORDS Banja Luka, villa, Secession, facsimile reconstruction, thermal insulation, geothermal energy, geothermal heat pump 1 Corresponding author 2 Corresponding author INTRODUCTION Architectural design is one of the most important disciplines practiced by human civilization. By tracing the development of architecture it is possible to trace the development of human civilization through time, with individual structures representing indelible marks documenting the time in history in which they originated, sometimes more convincingly than any written evidence.

    DUST BOOK TWO PART FOUR BY THE WATERS OF THE BOSPORUS 'Change happens when those who do not usually speak are heard by those who do not usually listen' BLEAK MOUNTAIN Kahlenberg is the last peak of a chain of mountains, the Alps, that stretches westwards across Austria, Switzerland to France. It overlooks Vienna and beyond to the Puszta, the Hungarian Plain. Kahl means bleak. In 1683, troops from several European nations, and led by the Polish general Jan Sobieski, gathered on top of this bleak hill. They planned to rout the Ottoman army which was besieging the city, and drive the Muslim invaders across the plains of Eastern Europe back to Turkey. As Sobieski’s troops prepared for battle, they would have surveyed with terror the imposing Ottoman army, then considered invincible, camped on the slopes below. The result of that battle signified a decisive demarcation that separated Christian Europe from the Muslim world. To commemorate this momentous victory an awe- inspiring monument might have been appropriate: a cathedral or a gigantic cross to ward off any future attacks by the enemy. However, the modesty of the church built in gratitude by the municipality of Vienna, and dedicated to Sobieski and his troops, 1 suggests a different understanding of history: an awareness of the vulnerability of nations, the frailty of borders, and the ebb and flow of imperial fortunes. Like the Romans over a thousand years earlier, the Ottomans recognized the strategic value of the city’s position on Europe’s biggest river. The Ottomans reckoned on taking the rest of Europe easily, once they had seized this significant outpost of the Roman Empire, and then attempted to take the city on several occasions.

    CEEBIC COMMERCIAL GUIDE CEEBIC is a business facilitation program for U.S. firms interested in expanding into the Central and East European markets. Established in 1990 by Congressional legislation under the Support for East European Democracy (SEED) Act, CEEBIC is a one-stop shop and the US Government's clearinghouse for the most recent economic, commercial, and financial information on the 15 countries of Central and Eastern Europe. CEEBIC offers a wide array of services, business counseling, and information products designed to help primarily small- and medium-sized U.S. companies. CEEBIC's Washington-based trade specialists and dedicated overseas staff in 15 countries of the region work together to implement this unique program for U.S. firms. BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA COUNTRY COMMERCIAL GUIDE CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) has made slow but steady progress over the past year in making the transition to a market economy. At the Federation and state levels, a multi-ethnic, social- democratic coalition (Alliance for Change) has replaced the nationalist parties long viewed as the main obstacles to economic reform. The Alliance has expressed strong commitment to accelerating the pace of economic reform, to building a viable market economy and to creating a more business-friendly investment climate. As signs of that commitment, in early 2002, the Council of Ministers approved an Action Plan aimed at removing barriers to investment; adopted a Poverty Reduction Strategy to create more jobs and increase exports; and initiated an anti-corruption plan to foster greater trust and confidence in the domestic economy. Despite the plans and strategies, Bosnia's complex legal and regulatory framework, weak judicial structures and corrupt public administration system continue to discourage investment.
