Abstract:
As a result of penal reform (1999-2001) Georgian legislator redefined its concept of dolus directus, based on a view presented in own penal theory two decades ago. By reducing the concept to its intellectual component ([precise] knowledge of illicit effect) penal legislation introduced a new kind of guilty behavior – dolus directus intellectualis as dolus directus of the second degree (theoretical description). On the other hand: Through adding intellectual segment of dolus indirectus to the voluntative one of dolus directus here emerged a further kind of guilty behavior, when person aspires a

Future dispersal of Ensis directus could be used as a biological tracer of coastal water movements between the Southern Bight of the North Sea and the English Channel.The American jack knife clam, Ensis directus (Conrad, 1843), synonym Ensis americanus (Binney, 1870)sensu van Urk (1964,1972), was discovered in Europe

Through the use of specialized literature as well as the main court rulings in the country of origin, this paper offers an analysis of the central components of the theory of intentional danger (Vorsatzgefahr), proposed by the German Criminal Law Professor Ingeborg Puppe, to characterize the cases in which possible dolus is attributed. The cognitive element is analyzed; the competence to assess the known risk; and the content of the intentional danger, as a rational strategy for producing the result.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the unresolved question of how director tenure relates to director monitoring. Multiple sources of data, gathered over two interrelated qualitative studies, provide a unique and up close perspective of the phenomena. The results highlight the value of incorporating theories that explain director motivation into traditional corporate governance research. Overall, the relationship between tenure and director monitoring is shown to be more complex than generally assumed, and as such, policies using a single approach for director tenure may not be appropriate.

Razor clams (Ensis directus) are one of nature’s most adept burrowing organisms, able to dig to 70cm at nearly 1cm/s using only 0.21J/cm. Ensis reduces burrowing drag by using motions of its shell to fluidize a thin layer of substrate around its body. Although these shell motions have an energetic cost, moving through fluidized rather than packed soil results in exponentially lower overall energy consumption.

The Atlantic razor clam (Ensis directus) reduces burrowing drag by using motions of its shell to fluidize a thin layer of substrate around its body. We have developed RoboClam, a robot that digs using the same mechanisms as Ensis, to explore how localized fluidization burrowing can be extended to engineering applications. In this work we present burrowing performance results of RoboClam in two distinctly different substrates: ideally granular 1mm soda lime glass beads and cohesive ocean mudflat soil. Using a genetic algorithm to optimize RoboClam’s kinematics, the machine was able to burrow in

Abstract:
Nintama Rantaro is a long running TV anime series in Japan, which is produced by a large number of staff members. In the present study, 228 episodes of this series were selected to analyze the relationships among the staff members and the elements in the episodes, using correspondence analysis and cluster analysis. Numbers of storyboard writers, animation directors, screenplay writers and directors, and factors of the stories, e.g., representative expressions, motions of the main characters and emotions of the main characters, were counted, and a cross-tabulation table was constructed.

Abstract:
El objetivo de este estudio es iniciar una evaluación de aspectos básicos para el análisis económico de los costos directos de la violencia intrafamiliar en Panamá, para poder comparar el costo directo provocado por la violencia intrafamiliar, con los costos de su prevención. Como este estudio se concentra en los costos directos de la violencia intrafamiliar, en términos de costo de oportunidad, el costo directo de una acción tendiente a evitarla podría compararse con el costo resultante de que la violencia efectivamente se practicara, porque de prevenirse, no sólo aumentaría en un sentido amp

Abstract:
Due to the increased utilization of mass-based flowmeters for flow measurement of hydrocarbons, there is a requirement for a direct method for proving/calibrating a mass flowmeter directly using a measured mass. The project objective was to identify, review and rank suitable methods for proving/calibrating a mass-based flowmeter directly using a measured mass. The preferred method has been recommended and potential changes to industry standards have been highlighted. This report has a related webinar.

Full text
Abstract:
Enforcing disability employment quotas through inspections and fines increases hiring of persons with disabilities by about 7 percent. Compared to direct fines, enforcement spillovers through firm networks can have up to twice the impact on disability employment. Targeted enforcement strategies can amplify policy effectiveness beyond directly affected firms even in economies with low compliance.

Abstract:
Farmers used to learn about new scientific research and knowledge relevant to their practices through direct interaction with someone introducing them to new methods. Now farmers can directly and swiftly receive information about agricultural innovation on their phones. But digital information is also likely to be misunderstood, ignored or buried under a sea of other notifications.

En este trabajo se estiman los efectos directos e indirectos del apoyo recibido por productores de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) ubicados en la ciudad de Córdoba, entre los años 2003 y 2007 en el marco del Programa de Desarrollo de Cadenas Productivas de la Provincia de Córdoba. Para estimar el efecto indirecto se consideran dos enfoques complementarios: externalidades asociadas a la movilidad laboral y externalidades asociadas a la proximidad geográfica. La estimación del efecto directo e indirecto se realizó usando un modelo de efectos aleatorios en los cuales el sesg

Abstract:
Small firm owners facing idiosyncratic shocks adjust production by cutting spending and reducing their demand for external workers. These shocks propagate to other local households with whom shocked firms trade inputs and labor through local supply-chain and labor market networks, leading to declines in transactions, income, and consumption. The total indirect effects are larger than the direct effects: a US$1 decline in a shocked households business spending reduces aggregate consumption by US$1.7. Both the direct and indirect effects are mitigated by incoming transfers to shocked households
