Download or read book Urban Transport XXI written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Transport XXI contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The series of annual conferences organised by the Wessex Institute was first held in 1995. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for the urban citizens who need effective and efficient transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centres. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute concern, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Papers cover such topics as: Urban Transport Planning and Management; Urban Transport Strategies; Public Transport Systems; Environmental Aspects; Economic and Social Impact; Safety and Security; Travel Behaviour Studies; Customer Satisfaction; Transportation Modelling and Simulation; Infrastructure Development; Intelligent and Advanced Transport Systems; Transportation Integration; City Logistics; Resilience and Inter-modal Transport Systems; Mass Transport Strategies; Social Impacts; Freight Transport; Railway Systems; Transport Governance and Administration; Port and City; Mobility and Public Space; Life Cycle Management.

Download or read book Global Copyright written by Lionel Bently and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book celebrates the tri-centenary of modern copyright, which began with the enactment of the Statute of Anne by the British Parliament in 1709, and was soon followed by other copyright legislation abroad. The Statute of Anne is traditionally claimed to be the world's first copyright statute, and is thus viewed as the origin of a system of national laws that today exists in virtually all countries of the world. However, this book illustrates that while there is some truth in this claim, it is also important to treat it with caution.Written by leading experts from across the globe, this comprehensive (historical) analysis breaks new ground on modern copyright issues such as digital libraries, illegal downloading and distribution, international exhaustion and ?new formalities?. The expert contributors consider what lessons can be learnt from the achievements made during the last 300 years, and whether they can be used to overcome the new challenges facing copyright.This in-depth scientific analysis of the legacy of the Statute of Anne 300 years on from its origins will provide copyright practitioners, academics, policy makers and postgraduate students with a unique and fascinating read.

Download or read book Shareholder Democracy written by Lisa M. Fairfax and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a succinct, practical guide for understanding what some have referred to as shareholder democracy--efforts to facilitate and increase shareholder voting power within the corporation. In the past few years there has been a surge in shareholder activism that has had a profound impact on the corporation. Shareholders and other activists have sought to increase shareholders' voting power within the corporation based largely on the belief that increasing shareholder power will increase director and officer accountability, thereby helping to curb corporate misconduct and improve corporate performance. However, there is intense debate regarding whether increased shareholder power can achieve such objectives and whether increased shareholder power will negatively impact the corporation. This book is the first to provide a concise, but comprehensive look at the various ways in which shareholders have sought to enhance their voting power and influence within the corporation. In addition to examining shareholder activism, this book highlights and analyzes the debate regarding the propriety of increased shareholder power. This book also analyzes the impact of recent developments aimed at facilitating shareholder power such as majority voting, say on pay, and proxy access. This book will serve as a useful tool not only for those who desire a straight-forward analysis of shareholder rights and activism, but also for those seeking a reference guide on an issue of growing importance to corporate law and corporate governance.

Download or read book Il nuovo Codice degli Appalti e delle Concessioni written by Mario Canton and published by Mario Canton. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 5889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il profluvio di norme in materia di appalti emanato nelle ultime decadi mette a dura prova la memoria e l'operatività degli addetti al settore. Ogni nuovo atto normativo porta con sé infiniti rimandi e i periodi transitori sono particolarmente difficili da gestire senza scivolare in errori sempre possibili. Per venire incontro alle esigenze di rapida consultazione quotidiana si è pensato di produrre uno strumento che consenta di tenere sotto mano tutte le disposizioni e confrontarle agevolmente. Questo e-book riporta il testo del nuovo «Codice degli Appalti e delle Concessioni», approvato con decreto legislativo n. 50 del 18.4.2016, pubblicato nel supplemento ordinario n. 10/L alla Gazzetta Ufficiale - serie generale - n. 91 del 19 aprile 2016, con le correzioni apportate dal comunicato pubblicato nella Gazzetta Ufficiale - serie generale, n. 164 del 15 luglio 2016. Al testo integrale del Codice - compresivo di tutti gli allegati - sono collegate tutte le norme - legislative e tecniche - citate nell'articolato del testo (circa 150 provvedimenti «esterni»). Sono inoltre collegate tutte le norme previgenti, le disposizioni di delega e le norme attuate delle direttive 2014/23/UE, 2014/24/UE e 2014/25/UE secondo la tabella di concordanza pubblicata dal Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti nel supplemento ordinario n. 11 alla Gazzetta Ufficiale - serie generale - n. 91 del 19.4.2016. Al testo del Codice sono inoltre collegate tutte le linee guida sull'attuazione del medesimo, sin'ora approvate dall'Anac dopo il periodo di consultazione pubblica nonché l'elenco di tutti gli altri provvedimenti di attuazione previsti, con riportato il testo integrale di quelli già emanati all'atto della pubblicazione dell'e-book. Completano il materiale alcune tabelle riepilogative e/o esplicative di norme sparse nell'articolato, ragruppate per argomento e riguardanti termini, soglie, procedure, categorie, classifiche e raggruppamenti. Inoltre, è sembrato opportuno provvedere alla specifica individuazione della normativa tecnica, qualora sia citata dal Codice in forma generica. Questo e-book, strutturato in forma di ipertesto, consente di passare agevolmente da un blocco di informazioni all'altro e viceversa, consentendo la consultazione mobile dei dati su qualsivoglia dispositivo elettronico, dallo smartphone all'e-reader, dal tablet al personal computer. Tutta la normativa specifica sarà così immediatamente disponibile e facilmente consultabile per venire incontro alle esigenze di ogni giorno.

Download or read book The Future of Museums written by Gerald Bast and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores―at the macro, meso and micro levels and in terms of qualitative as well as quantitative studies―the current and future role of museums for art and society. Given the dynamic developments in art and society, museums need to change in order to remain (and in some ways, regain) relevance. This relevance is in the sense of a power to influence. Additionally museums have challenges that arise in the production of art through the use of permanent and rapidly changing technologies. This book examines how museums deal with the increasing importance of performance art and social interactive art, artistic disciplines which refuse to use classical or digital artistic media in their artistic processes. The book also observes how museums are adapting in the digital age. It addresses such questions as, “How to keep museums in contact with recipients of art in a world in which the patterns of communication and perception have changed dramatically,” and also “Can the art museum, as a real place, be a counterpart in a virtualized and digitalized society or will museums need to virtualize and even globalize themselves virtually?” Chapters also cover topics such as the merits of digital technologies in museums and how visitors perceive these changes and innovations. When you go back to the etymological origin, the Mouseion of Alexandria, it was a place where – supported by the knowledge stored there – art and science were developed: a place of interdisciplinary research and networking, as you would call it today. The word from the Ancient Hellenic language for museum (ΜΟΥΣΕΙΟΝ) means the “house of the muses”: where the arts and sciences find their berth and cradle. With the “Wunderkammer,” the museum was re-invented as a place for amazing for purpose of representation of dynastic power, followed by the establishment of museums as a demonstration of bourgeois self-consciousness. In the twentieth century, the ideal of the museum as an institution for education received a strong boost, before the museum as a tourism infrastructure became more and more the institutional, economic and political role-model. This book is interested in discovering what is next for museums and how these developments will affect art and society. Each of the chapters are written by academics in the field, but also by curators and directors of major museums and art institutions.

Book excerpt: Con il presente lavoro si intende fornire uno strumento operativo, utile agli Uffici Gare & Appalti degli Operatori Economici e delle Stazioni Appaltanti, con l’obiettivo di agevolare l’approfondimento e l’applicazione della nuova disciplina degli appalti pubblici introdotta con il D. Lgs. 36/2023 ("Codice dei Contratti Pubblici"), in vigore dal 1° aprile 2023, ma efficace dal 1° luglio 2023 (fanno eccezione le disposizioni sulla “pubblicità” e sulla “digitalizzazione”, la cui efficacia è rinviata al 1° dicembre 2024). Ogni articolo del presente testo è stato annotato con una sintesi della RELAZIONE accompagnatoria, elaborata dalla Commissione speciale del Consiglio di Stato, tratta dal Dossier ufficiale del Centro Studi del Senato, che ha commentato il testo durante la fase di approvazione dello schema da parte delle Commissioni Parlamentari. Vicino alla rubrica di ogni articolo, abbiamo inoltre aggiunto: un QR CODE per collegarsi online alla versione aggiornata disponibile su www.CodiceAppalti.it; la DATA EFFICACIA di ogni articolo e le corrispondenti NORME PREVIGENTI sostituite dalle nuove disposizioni; l’elencazione delle altre NORME COLLEGATE e le DISPOSIZIONI TRANSITORIE. Abbiamo completato l’esame di molti articoli con una sintesi delle principali NOVITÀ e un focus contenente alcuni CONSIGLI UTILI, di carattere estremamente operativo, distinti per Operatori (OE) e per Stazioni Appaltanti (SA). Nelle ultime pagine abbiamo inserito una innovativa TABELLA DI CONFRONTO, sia in relazione alle norme “interne” al codice, indicando gli articoli applicabili ai Settori Speciali e alle Concessioni, sia rispetto a norme “esterne”, indicando i corrispondenti articoli del “vecchio” Codice (D. Lgs. 50/2016) e quelli destinati ad operare per gli appalti finanziati del PNRR e PNC, oltre alla data di efficacia di ogni articolo.
