Actionable Subsidies

This chapter focuses on the concepts of subsidy control under World Trade Organization (WTO), prohibiting certain types of subsidies that might have a harmful effect on economic activity in other WTO members. A major innovation of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) was the classification of subsidies into three categories, often referred to as ‘red light’, ‘yellow light’, and ‘green light’. ‘Red light’ subsidies are prohibited per se, with no need to actually prove any adverse effect. The ‘yellow light’ or ‘actionable subsidies’ are not prohibited, but may be challenged only if they cause ‘adverse effects’. Under the ‘green light’ category, certain selected types of subsidies were non-actionable even if they were specific and caused one of the harms listed in Articles 5 and 6 of the SCM Agreement.

Potato Plantlets

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of yellow light (Y), green light (G), and two blue lights (B) at different wavelengths in conjunction with red light (R) on the growth and morphogenesis of potato plantlets in vitro. Randomized nodal explants were cut into 1.0–1.5 cm pieces and were grown under five different light conditions: fluorescent white light (FL); the combined spectra of R, Y, and B at 445 nm (R630B445Y); the combined spectra of R, G, and B at 445 nm (R630B445G); the combined spectra of R, Y, and B at 465 nm (R630B465Y); and the combined spectra of R, G, and B at 465 nm (R630B465G). Morphogenesis and physiological parameters were investigated. The results showed that R630B445Y and R630B465Y increased the fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW), stem diameter, blade number, leaf area, specific leaf weight (SLW), and the health index of potato plantlets in vitro; root activity increased significantly; and soluble sugar, soluble protein, and starch also increased. The addition of Y to the combined spectra of R and B contributed to the growth, development, and morphogenesis more than the combined spectra of R and B with G, and B at 445 nm was more effective at promoting plant growth than was B at 465 nm.

Gatt 1994

In the global era with all demands and expectations for a better economic condition in a country that an international trade is needed. Fair competition can be carried out in competition between business actors and commodity (goods or services) in overseas with business actors and commodity (goods or services) in country. One form of creating justice in international trade competition is by providing subsidies. The issue of subsidies created the problems and disputes. The problem formulations of this research were: (1) how are the effects of subsidies and countervailing in international trade regulations? (2) how is the case analysis related to subsidies and countervailing measures according to the provisions of the GATT 1994, The SCM Agreement and other legal provisions? The results showed that (1) the effect of subsidies and countervailing measures based on their types (red light, yellow light, green light) in international trade regulations had provided clear provisions as well as the impact and limitations in implementing these provisions in accordance with the provisions. GATT 1994 and The SCM Agreement. (2) The several cases described regarding subsidies that were not allowed because they created injustice that the subsidies were only carried out in an emergency situation and their nature rescued them from an economic crisis.

Photosensitizing Agent

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists of the association of a photosensitizing agent with a light source in order to cause cellular necrosis. Methylene blue, toluidine blue and malachite green are photosensitizers derived from dyes that are widely accepted in medicine, as they have low toxicity and are low cost. PDT is an alternative treatment for cancer, with significant advantages over procedures such as surgery/chemotherapy. Our laboratory has studied the Fricke solution doped with photosensitizers in an approach to obtain a quality control for PDT. The Fricke solution was prepared with ammoniacal ferrous sulfate, sodium chloride and sulfuric acid in water. The solutions modified with photosensitizers were prepared by adding 0.1 g/100 mL of the dyes. A volume of 2.6 ml of the Fricke solution modified with photosensitizers were transferred to test tubes and irradiated. The irradiated solutions had their optical densities measured in a spectrophotometer. The samples were irradiated with LED (Light Emitting Diodes) in acrylic phantoms. The FATA samples irradiated with LED showed the sensitivity of the dosimeters to red, blue, green and yellow light. A calibration curve with correlation coefficient of 0.9884 for the red light was obtained; 0.9752 for blue light; 0.9644 for the green light and 0.9768 for the yellow light. The fact that a sensitivity of the dosimeters to the LED has been occurred indicates that the PDT could be realized with LED, with lower costs than with laser. This work suggested that FATA dosimeters can be used for quality control of PDT.

The pot cultivar of <i>Chrysanthemum</i> × <i>grandiflorum</i> 'Leticia Time Yellow' was cultivated and stored in a growth room under fluorescent light of white, blue, green, yellow and red colour. Quantum irradiance was 30 μmol · m<sup>-2</sup> × s<sup>-1</sup>. The colour of light exerted a significant influence on the opening of closed inflorescence buds and on post-harvest longevity of pot chrysanthemums grown earlier in an unheated plastic tunnel. Under florescent lamps emitting blue light at a wavelength of 400-580 nm, inflorescence buds opened and coloured the earliest. The number of developed flower heads was the greatest under blue and white light. Flower heads developing in blue light were bigger than flower heads developing in white and green light. In red light at a wavelength of 600-700 nm, plants flowered latest and they produced the smallest flower heads. Post-harvest longevity was preserved longest in chrysanthemums kept under blue, white and green light. In red and yellow light, the flowers were overblown earliest.

e19067 Background: Individuals with cancer experience fatigue, pain and decline in function. The Bellarmine Norton Assessment Tool (BNAT) was developed to give an objective measure identifying a person’s overall functional ability through a variety of physical assessments focused on mobility and strength. The purpose of this study was to develop a referral tool to provide health care professionals an easy determinant for physical therapy referrals. The referral tool was designed as a Red, Yellow, Green light for easy interpretation and use. Methods: The BNAT is composed of 1 self-reported physical activity question and 4 objective tests: 2-Minute Step Test (2MST); 30-Second Sit-to-Stand; Timed Arm Curl; and Timed Up and Go. A previously collected data set of BNAT scores was utilized to develop the referral tool with the poorest performance corresponding to Red and the best corresponding to Green. Three variations of normative scaling examined optimal distribution for classification. The first model averaged normative data of 70-74 age group of healthy individuals. No participants in our study achieved 50% of population norms. Therefore, the Green light represented 35% of the normative values, the Yellow light ranged from 15-34% and the Red light identified < 15%. A second model used frequency histograms for each BNAT elements. Groupings were made based on the natural break of the data to depict the Red, Yellow or Green light. A third approach combined normative and frequency distribution for each element as compared to the respective BNAT scores. The outcome assigned BNAT score of 1 and 2 to Red light, 3 to Yellow light and 4 and 5 to Green light. Except for the 2MST, these models were similar for the cutoff between color categories. The third model best fit the study population with respect to the individual’s total BNAT score. Results: Of the 161 subjects, 47 subjects (29%) fell into the Red category, 81 (50%) into Yellow and 33 (21%) into Green. Using this scaling system for the total BNAT score, 13 score combinations result in Red light, 6 scores for Yellow light and 6 scores for Green light. Regardless of the model, most individuals were assigned a Yellow light. Conclusions: The literature is void of functional cut off scores and normative distributive data for the oncology population. We defined a referral tool with scaling based off normative scores and functional assessments that reflect the distribution of oncology patients. The third model may be used as a simple referral tool among multiple health care professionals aiding in a referral for physical therapy.
