The pivotal aim of this book is to explain the creation, development, and impact of good governance from a conceptual, principal perspective and in the context of national administrative law. Three lines of reasoning have been worked out: developing the concept of good governance; specification of this concept by developing principles of good governance; and implementation of these principles of good governance on the national level. In this phase of further development of good governance, it is important to have a clear concept of good governance, presented in this book as the third cornerstone of a modern state, alongside the concepts of the rule of law and democracy. That is a rather new national administrative law perspective which is influenced by regional and international legal developments; thus, we can speak about good governance as a multilevel concept. But the question is: how is this concept of good governance further developed? Six principles of good governance (which in a narrower sense also qualify as principles of good administration) have been further specified in a systematic way, from a legal perspective. These are the principles of properness, transparency, participation, effectiveness, accountability, and human rights. Furthermore, the link has been made with integrity standards. The important developments of each of these principles are described on the national level in Europe, but also in countries outside Europe (such as Australia, Canada, and South Africa). This book gives a systematic comparison of the implementation of the principles of good governance between countries.

The information system “Scientific Heritage of Russia” has been created in stages since 2007. Currently, the existing software does not meet the needs of the system and complicates its further development. It was decided to implement the new version of the software in the asp.net core crossplatform environment. The article describes the decisions made in the implementation of software and modernization of the data structure. Particular attention is paid to the development of information retrieval tools.

The purpose of this article is to describe recent actions for sport organizations and coach development in Finland. Finnish Sport organizations and systems especially in high-performance sports have been in a transition phase in recent years. The high-performance sport systems have been analyzed and reorganized and new strategic goals were set. Coach development was chosen as one of the focus areas and the leadership of coach development is at the new High Performance Unit of the Olympic Committee. There are different education paths for coaches and all the organizations which provide coach education belong to a network for coach development. This network works for developing programs, learning concepts and tools and sharing of expertise. One key idea of the development work has been to conduct systematic research among Finnish coaches to gain objective information of coaches’ needs and learning experiences. As a result of this work, the Finnish Coach Competence Model was created as a tool and for creating common understanding of coaches’ competences and for developing education programs and coaches’ assessment. Creating a new learning culture and a network have been the main steps so far and the further development for those are also the main goals in future.

This article deals on an improved version of the recently developed Artificial Social Cockroaches (ASC) algorithm based on several modifications. The EASC has as input a set of artificial cockroaches and N selected shelters. It is based on a random displacement step and a set of operators (selection cockroaches, shelter attraction, congener's attraction, shelter permutation). Each cockroach must be hidden in the shelter where it feels safer (evaluation function). In the recent years with the coming of the world wide web, the amount of unstructured documents available in the digital society increases and becomes easily accessible, all this has led that satisfy the needs of users in terms of relevant information has become a substantial problem in the scientific community. The second component of the authors' study is to apply the algorithm (EASC) as an information retrieval system using multilingual pre-processing and thesaurus to solve the problems of multilingual query and searching with synonymy. The relevant documents will be rendered as a list of ranked and classified documents from the most relevant to the least relevant. Lastly the authors apply the benchmark Medline and a series of valuation measures (precision, recall, f-measure, entropy, error, accuracy, specificity, TCR, ROC) for the experimentation, also they have compared their results with the outcomes of set of existed systems (social worker bees, taboo search, genetic algorithm, simulating annealing, naïve method). The third component of the authors' system is the visualization step that ensures the presentation of the result in the form of a cobweb with some realism to be understandable by users.

Two Populations

AbstractThe maximal emergence of Pissodes notatus (F.) adults takes place during July and August. It results from the different evolution of two populations:— a first population, whose complete development (from egg to adult) takes 11 or 12 months. This population corresponds to eggs laid after the middle of July (maximum egg laying during September). Most of the larvae having reached the third instar, it shows no more evolution during the winter; the further development takes place during the next spring, and adults emerge from mid-June to mid-July.— a second population resulting from egg laying, between February and July, of hibernated adults (maximum egg laying during April and May). The whole development being very short (2 to 3 months), the adults, corresponding to these eggs, emerge from the middle of July to the end of August.The observed differences between durations of the under-bark development (from 2 to 12 months) appear free of diapause and probably result from rates of development changing with temperature and instar.In our regional field temperature conditions, all the individuals reach finally their under-bark development approximatively at the same time, so that the adult emergence period takes place in July and August.

The Voice

The approach to the Satires of Juvenal via the persona theory is well-known and has been productive. Somewhat less notice has been given to the fact that a considerable number of the satires have their persona moulded around another character, an addressee or an interlocutor, or sometimes an important narrative figure. Such characters ‘justify’ the persona, which can now be seen as a kind of ad hominem irony. This matter is intricately linked with the role of indignatio. Thus indignation, programmed in the first satire, becomes a little suspect in Laronia's mouth in the second. Laronia is a small scale character, but the techniques used in her regard appear again in the third satire, where the difference between Juvenal and Umbricius reveals the inadequacy of indignatio a little more clearly. The difference between the treatment of Crispinus and of Domitian in the fourth satire carries this process further. In the fifth, Juvenal tries to rouse the abject Trebius, but in his own apostrophe to Virro (Sat. 5.107f.) shows that indignatio is not, perhaps, appropriate at all. The role of indignatio diminishes further in the later satires, noticeably in the ninth, where Juvenal's tone is one of banter and Naevolus reveals his own unpleasantness. Much of this process has been charted by S. Braund in a book on the seventh, eighth, and ninth satires. The argument can be resumed with the eleventh satire where there is a further development. In the earlier satires which use address or dialogue there is an impressive realism in dramatic terms about the confrontation and psychology. In the eleventh (and even more, the twelfth) the development of the techniques of irony begins to intrude on the dramatic plausibility: the voice assumed in the poem becomes more aware of the audience as well as the addressee. As the beginning of a demonstration of this change I now provide an analysis of the use of Persicus in the eleventh satire.

Further Development

Further development of nuclear engineering is inseparably linked with the requirement of vast application of the passive systems of heat removal running without human intervention. Creation of such systems is impossible, if only conventional engineering solutions are used. As known, to prevent propagation of the fission products into the environment there are three safety barriers. To provide operation of the third safety barrier (containment shell), in particular, of the reactor cavities both in operational and emergency modes a passive evaporation-and-condensation (EC) system of heat removal is proposed. The features of thermal design of the EC systems for thermal shielding of the reactor cavities are considered. They make it possible to determine the optimal main design variables of the EC systems and prove reasonability and efficiency of their application. The performed study validates engineering feasibility of an efficient EC system for thermal shielding of the reactor equipment.
