Abstract Konrad Maurer’s Letters in Public Library and Archive Collections. This paper accounts for both the hitherto little known depositories and the considerable amount of widely dispersed letters that came down to us written by Konrad Maurer, professor of law in Munich, between 1846 and 1900 to colleagues and friends in Germany, England, the Nordic Countries, and the United States of America. This account is supplemented by lists of letters both of Konrad Maurer’s wife Valérie on his behalf and of the relatively few letters to Konrad Maurer that have survived.

For as long as academic libraries have participated in the federal depository library program, there has been an inherent conflict between their academic and depository mandates. While state and public libraries are tasked with serving the greater public, academic libraries have an imperative to meet the specific needs of their institutions. As institutional priorities have evolved and new needs emerged, many academic depositories have come to face pressures of staffing and physical space that lead to the desire to downsize their physical government documents holdings in favor of digital surrogates. Because the government documents received through the federal depository library program are not the libraries’ property, withdrawing these materials is a time consuming, labor intensive, costly, and complicated undertaking.

The human population is continuously exposed to natural radionuclides in environmental elements. The concentration of these nuclides is usually low, but different technological processes and activities can concentrate them in products, by-products, or wastes. These activities are, for example, coal mining, fertilizer production, ore mining, metal production, etc. These materials are labelled as NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material). The most common method of disposal for NORMs is deposition in different types of depositories. The long-term effects of these depositories on the environment and on human health are hard to estimate. The aim of the study is to assess radiation risk from the five selected NORM depositories (Ajka coal ash, Ajka red mud, Almásfüzitő red mud, Zalatárnok drilling mud, and Úrkút manganese residue) for members of the public and biota. The radionuclide concentrations were determined by HPGe gamma-spectrometry. The measured concentration was between 31 Bq/kg and 1997 Bq/kg for Ra-226, between 33 Bq/kg and 283 Bq/kg for Th-232, and between 48 Bq/kg and 607 Bq/kg for K-40. The dose estimation was investigated using RESRAD-ONSITE and RESRAD BIOTA, which are computer codes developed by the Argonne National Laboratory (USA). RESRAD-ONSITE can estimate the radiation risk from the radionuclides in the contaminated sites. The highest dose was observed in the case of the Ajka coal ash depository–without cover (12.38 mSv/y), and the lowest was in the case of Zalatárnok (0.53 mSv/y). The most significant contributors to the population dose are the uptakes through plants and external pathways, which account for more than 80% of the total dose on average. RESRAD-BIOTA code was used to estimate the radiation exposure of terrestrial organisms (plants and animals). During this work, the values of sum ratio factor (SRF), biota concentration guide (BCG), external dose, internal dose, and total dose were determined.

Hebrew incunabula amount to a rather modest, in terms of number, group of around 150 editions that were printed within the period from the late 60s of the 15th century to January 1, 1501 in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. Despite such a small number of Hebrew incunabula, the role they played in the history of the formation of European printing cannot be overlooked. Even less possible is to overestimate the importance of Hebrew incunabula for understanding Jewish spiritual life as it evolved in Europe during the Renaissance.Russian depositories house 43 editions of Hebrew incunabula, in 113 copies and fragments. The latter are distributed as following: the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences — 67 items stored; the Russian State Library — 38 items; the National Library of Russia — 7 items; the Jewish Religious Community of Saint Petersburg — 1 item. The majority of these books came in public depositories at the late 19th — first half of the 20th century from private collections of St. Petersburg collectors: Moses Friedland (1826—1899), Daniel Chwolson (1819—1911) and David Günzburg (1857—1910). This article looks into the circumstances of how exactly these incunabula were acquired by the depositories. For the first time there are analysed publications of Russian scholars that either include descriptions of Hebrew incunabula (inventories, catalogues, lists) or related to various aspects of Hebrew incunabula studies. The article presents the first annotated bibliography of all domestic publications that are in any way connected with Hebrew incunabula, covering the period from 1893 (the first publication) to the present. In private collections, there was paid special attention to the formation of incunabula collections. It was expressed in the allocation of incunabula as a separate group of books in printed catalogues and the publication of research works on incunabula studies, which belonged to the pen of collectors themselves and haven’t lost their scientific relevance today.

Introduction. The article examines issues of accumulation, formation, preservation, usage arrangements, and peculiarities of historical sources in accordance with the adopted periodization of Kalmykia’s history by geographic and chronological parameters (the Central Asian and European periods, respectively) from earliest to modern times. Historical sources from the mentioned periods differ in degrees of preservation, volume and availability. Goals. So, the paper aims at surveying actual circumstances to have influenced the shaping of Kalmykia’s historical scientific sources and arrangements undertaken to have facilitated the use of multiple documents in exploring events of the past. For that purpose, the work shall attempt to identify certain unbiased factors of sociopolitical development at different stages of history (in a temporal perspective), determine roles and impacts of respective government agencies (depositories) of Russia in the shaping and accumulation of sources in Kalmykia’s history and development of archival affairs nationwide. Materials and methods. The study primarily employs diverse reference apparatuses of public and departmental depositories, collected documents, and data from scientific publications. The research principles are those of historicism, objectivity, comprehensiveness. Results. The Kalmyk people’s history is characterized by an extensive documentary base that includes different types of sources currently housed by federal and regional archives all across Russia. However, the problems of the former’s further growth and usage arrangements can be successfully solved under certain circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses how the introduction of the Directive for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions through the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) affects third country relations. It argues that effective resolution of internationally active institutions requires cooperation between the Union, Member States, and third country resolution authorities. The BRRD establishes that the objectives of resolution authorities are to ensure the continuity of critical functions; to avoid significant adverse effects on Financial stability, including to prevent contagion and to protect insured depositors and client relations, while minimizing the public and private costs of resolution. Cooperation with third country resolution authorities will be facilitated if their resolution regimes are also consistent with those principles; hence, the importance of international coordination.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter starts by looking at resolution as understood in the United States. ‘Resolution’ refers to the way bank failures are dealt with in the United States. Similar to the traditional bankruptcy model, the chapter explains, two of the main goals of resolution are to maximize the value and minimize the losses of an institution for the benefit of its depositors and other stakeholders and, at least in a receivership situation, to determine who receives the residual value of the institution in satisfaction of their claims. However, resolution is also aimed at promoting a third goal: to deal with a failed institution in a manner that reduces the risk of contagion, preserves or restores public confidence in the banking or wider financial system, and otherwise promotes financial stability. The chapter then describes the history of financial resolution in the United States and outlines the fundamentals of resolution authority.

The 2008–11 Icelandic financial crisis involved the collapse of all three of the country’s major banks. All domestic assets were transferred to new public-owned domestic versions of the banks, while leaving the foreign parts in receivership and liquidation. The Icesave case relates to the dispute between Iceland, on the one hand, and the United Kingdom and Netherlands, on the other, over the protection of depositors with the UK and Dutch branches. A few years later, in Cyprus, a €10 billion international bailout by the Eurogroup, European Commission, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund was announced, in return for Cyprus closing its second-largest bank, the Cyprus Popular Bank, and imposing a one-time bank deposit levy on uninsured deposits of the Cyprus Popular Bank and the Bank of Cyprus. This chapter discusses the two cases, focusing on their impact and the lessons learnt in relation to deposit insurance arrangements.

In the next two chapters, the authors focus on the most marginalized fathers in the study. While it is apparent that prisons have become institutions for warehousing the most marginalized populations, public housing developments in the 1970s and after provided a similar institutional mechanism—they became depositories for the poorest families in urban America. A little less than one-fourth of the men in this study spent some of their childhood growing up in public housing, and nearly all of them were racial minorities (93 percent). Further, nearly three-quarters of this group were either locked up or unemployed at the time of the interview. This does not include fathers who grew up in surrounding neighborhoods, many of whom had similar reputations as the “PJs” themselves. It is in these urban spaces that fathers became exposed to the drug trade, robberies, and structural and interpersonal violence, and it is here where they became fathers.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes the emergence of national and international central securities depositories (CSDs) and the systems of tiered account-based security ownership they support. It examines clearing and settlement risks, including principal risk now largely removed by DVP, and liquidity risk reduced but far from fully removed by multilateral netting. Liquidity demand and the complexity of some underlying transactions results in a surprisingly high volume of postponed settlements (trade fails). Systems of clearing and settlement were resilient during the crisis of 2008, but the remarkable complexity of these networks suggests two policy concerns that need further examination. Problems in clearing and settlement could still magnify or transmit systemic financial risk in a future crisis, if firms do not again obtain public sector support; and the sheer complexity of clearing and settlement arrangements may both create operational risks and heighten barriers to entry, hence reducing competition and raising costs to investors.

This chapter traces the evolution of financial market infrastructures (FMIs) mainly exchanges, central counterparties, and central securities depositories in the last 30 years. Technological innovation and the structural reforms that supported cross-border trade supported the global expansion of FMIs over the past decades. The FMIs landscape went through substantial changes not just in their business models but also in ownership structures. While exchanges, central counterparties, and central securities depositories, for a long time, used to be either public entities or mutual enterprises, they have since been transformed into for-profit companies, in many cases listed on stock exchanges. What used to be a monopolistic market structure has become a highly competitive, globalized market, where one provider's services easily can be substituted by alternatives in a large variety of marketplaces. In addition to providing indirect services to financial intermediaries, FMIs increasingly have come to offer and distribute services directly to wholesale and even retail investors, thereby reducing transaction costs and enhancing efficiency. All of this has a dramatic impact on regulation and supervision: the traditional micro-prudential and investor protection issues are now more and more intertwined with macro-stability and antitrust issues which may lead to some reshape in the institutional architecture, especially in the framework of Capital Markets Union in the European Union.

This chapter studies the US central securities depositories (CSDs) landscape, reviewing the market structure and regulatory regime of CSDs. The US financial system has a unique structure for CSDs. The only CSD in the United States, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), is both (i) member-owned and operated and (ii) not directly affiliated with any trading venue. The chapter provides a general overview of the services that DTC offers and the touch points where different practitioners will generally interact with DTC. Particularly, it discusses the process for becoming a member of DTC or making a security eligible in DTC. The chapter also looks at the different transactions DTC provides and why practitioners would want to use those transactions or seek to transact through a stock exchange or similar trading venue. Finally, the chapter examines the general legal framework for CSDs in the United States and how practitioners and members of the public can influence DTC policy.

Abstract The Indian banking system was initially thought to be insulated from the global financial crisis owing to heavy public ownership and cautious management. It was thus a surprise when some banks experienced deposit flight, as depositors shifted their money to government-owned banks and specifically towards the State Bank of India, the largest public bank. While there was some tendency for depositors to favour healthier banks and banks with more stable funding, the reallocation of deposits towards the State Bank of India cannot be explained by these factors alone. Rather it appears that the implicit government guarantee of the liabilities of the country’s largest public bank dominated other considerations.

This chapter assesses the link between insolvency and liquidation, focusing on the orderly protection of depositors. There are differences in approach to safeguard the public interest at the regional and domestic levels. The misalignment of domestic insolvency-liquidation law and depositor protection mandates is likely to lead to wider techniques being needed to effectuate an orderly insolvency-liquidation proceeding and payout to banks’ depositors. This means the competent authority, the resolution authority, and the management of the bank, or administrator-liquidator will need to coordinate their responsibilities through a court-based process during the timeframe of failing or likely to fail to achieve an orderly payout to depositors. The potential coordination risks would need to be factored into the process of a failing or likely-to-fail timeframe.

This chapter begins with a discussion of the reasons for bank regulation. Traditionally the focus of bank regulation has been the protection of individual institutions' stability from a depositors' run, and of depositors and deposit guarantee schemes from incurring losses in the event of bank failures. Another fundamental goal was the protection of taxpayers from a public bailout and from the kind of moral hazard that arises when public bank rescues are likely. However, in recent years, and especially since the global financial crisis the focus of bank regulation has broadened to include eliminating too-big-to-fail institutions; increasing capital cushions and introducing liquidity requirements; and enhancing the resilience of the financial system to withstand system-wide shocks. The remainder of the chapter covers prudential regulation, capital regulation, the different phases of the Basel capital framework, and the total loss absorbing capacity standard.

Full textAbstract:
An overview and discussion of the private law liability of financial supervisors in the Republic of South Africa are provided. The supervision of the South African financial system is in the process of change. The supervisory liability historically was limited and currently, since the introduction of a twin peaks model of regulation in 2018, potential supervisory liability is again limited and now only to instances where one can prove the absence of good faith. If a supervisor has acted in bad faith, there is no immunity from liability. In such an instance, the determination of wrongfulness in the light of public and legal policy considerations and constitutional principles may point in the direction of holding the supervisory authority liable. However, supervisory liability has not been tested in the South African courts and the proving of such will not be an easy task. In the absence of a deposit insurance and banking resolution scheme (both of which have been tabled in Parliament) the position of depositors is not secure and indeed precarious. Public law remedies exist to potentially alleviate and correct the impact of wrong decisions made by supervisors, but very little protection exist as yet to depositors, and they have to rely on the goodwill of the government to step in when a financial institution has to be resolved.

Full textAbstract:
There are numerous circumstances in which a member of the public may be aggrieved by the conduct of the authorities who supervise the financial services sector. Claimants might include bank depositors who lose monies when a bank collapses, or the financial institution itself which is denied a licence or has its licence withdrawn. Recovery and resolution measures may similarly trigger grievances from the affected financial institution, or from adversely affected shareholders or creditors. In Hong Kong and Singapore, financial authorities are protected from civil claims by extensive immunity provisions. These provisions do not, however, protect from bad faith conduct, and the financial authorities can be sued for the tort of misfeasance in public office. There are also other limited avenues of recourse for claimants to challenge decisions, including judicial review.

This chapter examines the potential civil liability to depositors and investors of the financial supervisory authorities—the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Bank of England—in the UK. Both at common law and by express statutory provision significant hurdles have been erected for claimants in such cases, including a general requirement of bad faith and difficulties establishing causation, and therefore there have been no successful reported cases. In contrast various public inquiries have revealed very significant failures in supervision of financial firms in the UK, but where compensation has eventually been paid, in cases where political pressure has made it difficult for governments to refuse, such sums have been ex gratia and typically modest.

Abstract One of the greatest challenges in the use of nuclear energy is the high radioactive long-lived waste which is generated during production. It must be dealt with safely and effectively. While technical solutions exist, including deep geological repositories, progress in the disposal of radioactive waste has been influenced, and in many cases delayed, by public perceptions about the safety of the technology. One of the primary reasons for this is the long life of many of radionuclides, actinides and fission products, with half-lives on the order of a hundred thousand to a million years. Problems of perceptions could be reduced significantly, according to our and many others author’s opinion, if there were a way to burn or destroy the most toxic long-lived radioactive wastes. As there are no industrial methods for waste destroying today, in this paper it was suggested a new hybrid approach: instead of final waste disposal, long-termed but yet temporal storage only, striving towards final destruction once a appropriate conditions are maintained. This new or modified old approach could affect current HLLLW management and related activities in: changes of processing technology; prolonging the time period of waste storage at temporal depositories; increasing the investment into research regarding the methods and technologies for destructions of these materials, and slowing down the investments into the very expensive final disposal repositories. It’s authors opinion that such conceptual approach would contribute the reviving interest in nuclear energy, all over the world and especially in small and developing countries.
