A special place among modern materials occupy dry mixes, they have undeniable advantages and high performance, both technically and economically, depends on them architectural expressiveness and urban planning aesthetics, creating comfortable living conditions, the rational use of energy resources and more more. Russia´s accession to the World Trade Company is divergent views and serious concerns among professionals of the construction sector of the country. Joining the building complex of the Russian accession to the WTO will certainly affect the development of innovative processes in the industry application of modern technologies and materials. Considering the trend of development of the production of dry building mixtures can distinguish two main factors hindering development and accelerating their production. Production of dry building mixes in Russia in the near future has favorable prospects as the increasing volume of construction determines the increase in demand for CAS, while an important factor in increasing the capacity of the market is the replacement of competitive domestic products imported counterparts.

AbstractTrade-restrictiveness is a familiar concept across various provisions and agreements of the World Trade Organization (WTO), but its precise meaning remains vague. In many WTO disputes, the existence or degree of trade-restrictiveness of a challenged measure is simply assumed or addressed in a few brief sentences. Yet whether a measure is more trade-restrictive than necessary, or more trade-restrictive than a proposed alternative measure, is crucial to the legality of a range of measures currently in place around the world, some under challenge in the WTO. A careful analysis of the existing case law and treaty text – focusing on Article 2.2 of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade and the general exceptions in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 and the General Agreement on Trade in Services – demonstrates that while the existence of discrimination is likely to restrict trade, discrimination is not necessary to establish trade-restrictiveness, which also necessarily arises from direct barriers to market access such as import bans. In the absence of an explicit barrier to imports, a WTO panel is likely to focus on the extent to which a challenged measure negatively affects the competitive opportunities of imported products vis-à-vis domestic products.

The article is devoted to understanding the prospects of possible application of advanced technological developments in order to improve the biological nature of man. It analyses the ideas of Ray Kurzweil, who is a supporter of such transformations of human nature. It is shown that Kurzweil’s conclusions are of a worldview nature: in the near future, through the cyborgization of people, it will be possible to achieve a state close to immortality and, thus, solve the world-view issues of self-knowledge and create the conditions for unlimited self-development. It is concluded that such optimistic forecasts are insufficiently justified due to the limited possibility of modern technologies to “improve” a person’s life and help with the most difficult technical and ethical problems.

Mineral Reserve

Mining is the activity carried out that aims to remove a mineral good from the earth’s crust, representing about 5% of Brazil’s GDP in 2014. Iron is an easily oxidisable, dubious and magnetic chemical element. It is the most common, cheap and most important of metals. Hematite (Fe2 O3) is the main mineral with predominant iron content in its composition. In 2010, Brazil’s iron production accounted for about 15% of world production. The steel industry accounts for 99% of the world’s iron consumption. The sea route is the main means of transport of goods between Brazil and foreign trade. The research was carried out by accessing the DNPM website, the data collected were from 2010 to 2014. In this period Australia had the largest mineral reserve of iron and China the largest production in the world. In 2013 there was a fall in Brazilian iron production and its effective consumption. The national economy and world trade were the main factors for the instability of the Brazilian mineral sector between 2010 and 2014. The decrease in the price of iron in the world market caused the drop in iron production in Brazil in 2013, when iron consumption in Brazil was severely affected by the economic crisis that affected the country. China’s high investments in the mineral sector have boosted the country’s participation in world trade, becoming the world’s leading iron producer, between 2010 and 2014 China was the main buyer of iron produced in Brazil.

Dispute Settlement System

The transatlantic Bananas dispute rambled on in the multilateral trade system for almost two decades. The convoluted conflict, standing at the centre of this chapter, provides a useful starting point for studying the goal-attainment efforts exhibited by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement System (DSS) in perennial disputes, together with the goal-shifting and goal-conflict patterns characterizing such cases. The chapter first provides a brief background of the Bananas case. It then recounts the dispute’s major turning points in the multilateral trading system, and identifies the main factors rendering the conflict so prolonged and resistant to resolution. On these foundations, the chapter turns to a close goal-based reading of EC-Bananas, tracing the DSS’s goal-attainment efforts and the goal shifts marking this lengthy dispute. Thereafter, the chapter examines the resulting conflicts between DSS goals and the mixed, noncompliant outcomes ultimately produced in EC-Bananas, while assessing their ramifications for an analysis of the system’s effectiveness.

Under the Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights, the World Trade Organization members are required to enforce product patents for pharmaceuticals. In this paper we empirically investigate the welfare effects of this requirement on developing countries using data for the fluoroquinolones subsegment of the systemic anti-bacterials segment of the Indian pharmaceuticals market. Our results suggest that concerns about the potential adverse welfare effects of TRIPS may have some basis. We estimate that the withdrawal of all domestic products in this subsegment is associated with substantial welfare losses to the Indian economy, even in the presence of price regulation. The overwhelming portion of this welfare loss derives from the loss of consumer welfare.

Professional sports are increasingly dependents of technological resources given the remarkable level of competitiveness faced by high performance athletes. With such resources, it is possible to analyze matches, avoid mistakes that may be committed by the referee or even to analyze the athletes’ performance. One of these sports is beach volleyball, one of most popular sports in Brazil. In the past 12 years, the Brazilian volleyball teams has been always among the best teams in the world. The athletes’ performance during the jump movement is one of the main factors that one team needs to improve to be successful because it is the movement that is most performed during a volleyball match. There are some approaches that study the jump movement in order to calculate its height and give evidences to improve it. Nevertheless, these solutions are expensive and are not viable to athletes with no sponsorship. Having this in mind, this works presents VolleyJump, an application created to analyze beach volleyball athlete jumps using machine learning strategies to calculate the jump height and classify it as an attack or block jump. Results show that VolleyIoT makes possible to analyze athletes’ jumps using mobile devices sensors, helping them to focus on their trainning to improve its technique.

Abstract: COVID-19 epidemic has affected our daily life disturbing the world trade and transport. Wearing a face mask has become a new necessity for safety. In the near future, many institutions will ask the customers to wear masks to avail of their services. Therefore, face mask detection has become a necessity to help society. This paper presents a simplified approach to achieve this purpose using some packages like TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV and Scikit-Learn. This method detects the face from the image in frame and then identifies if it has worn a mask or not. As in a surveillance task, it can also detect a face along with a mask in movement through image processing. The method attains accuracy up to 93% and 91.2% respectively on two datasets. We explore optimized values of parameters using the Sequential CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) model to detect the presence of masks correctly.

Near Future

<strong>English</strong><br />Indonesia and most developing countries (DGCs) are very enthusiastic to be part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in a hope that free and fair trade could materialize and bring an improvement to their economies in the near future. Recognizing the fragile of their agricultural sectors and general economies, the WTO actually confers some provisions to DGCs in their transition to more open economies. But until the time of the Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM) and Special Product (SP) introduction in July 2004, these provisions are hardly used by the DGCs for many reasons, which further provoke the DGCs to call for the SSM and SP provisions.  As the SSM and SP facilities are already in existence, Indonesia and the G-33 should not leave these facilities as blank cheque that only to be written by ineligible party. They have to be active to formulate modalities and rules for the SSM implementation.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Indonesia dan pada umumnya negara berkembang (NB) sangat bersemangat dalam perundingan Organisasi Perdagangan Dunia (OPD) dengan harapan bahwa di masa datang perdagangan bebas dan adil dapat terwujud dan memberi manfaat bagi perekonomian negara bersangkutan di masa depan.  Sebenarnya OPD telah menyadari akan rapuhnya sektor pertanian dan ekonomi negara berkembang ini dalam menghadapi liberalisasi perekonomian dunia, sehingga mereka diberikan pengecualian-pengecualian penerapan beberapa aturan OPD. Namun, sampai saat diperkenalkannya Mekanisme Perlindungan Khusus (MPK) dan Produk Khusus (PK) pada Juli 2004, pengecualian-pengecialian itu tidak dapat dilaksanakan NB sendiri karena berbagai alasan, yang mendorong mereka menuntut adanya fasilitas baru, yakni MPK dan PK. Dengan telah tersedianya fasilitas MPK dan PK ini, Indonesia dan K-33 seyogianya tidak membiarkannya sebagai cek kosong yang hanya akan ditulis oleh pihak yang tidak berhak. Indonesia dan K-33 harus aktif merumuskan modalitas dan aturan pelaksanaan MPK.
