The aim of this study is to describe the status and evolution of forest management in Romania in terms of forest regime, as well as to highlight the most frequent problems and common expectations of forest district managers. Underlying the presented results are an analysis of the compiled statistical indicators used in Romanian forestry and the outcome of a sociological survey conducted on a sample of 345 forest district managers. In early 2013, over 4.4 million hectares of state, public and private forest land were administered by state and experimental forest districts, and over 1.7 million hectares of forest land, other than state-owned, by private forest districts. Note that approximately 0.36 million hectares (over 5% of Romania’s forest area) are not in the care of specialized units, contrary to the legal provisions. The most frequent problems faced by forest district managers arise in relation to the owners of forests or are caused by illegal logging. This study is a contribution to making the concrete problems faced by foresters and especially the structure and ownership related characteristics of forestland the driving force of legislative changes in the forestry sector.

Ambon City and West Seram Regency (SBB) or SBB Regency, especially in Kairatu sub-district, the condition of the forest was once beautiful and green, but now, that condition has changed, the beautiful and green has changed into a stretch of land and barren grasslands. The above conditions will affect the water cycle by decreasing water discharge as a source of life for the community. The problems that will be examined in this study are is why the legal provisions in the forestry sector are not effective in communities living around State forest areas in the Maluku Province? What factors are lead the community members who live around the State forest to be obliged to implement the legal provisions in the forestry sector in the State forest area in the Maluku Province? This research was conducted by an empirical juridical approach which is descriptive qualitative analysis. The research seeks to illustrate what is happening in the communities living around the State forest in Maluku Province. The result of this research is Law No. 41 of 1999 on Forestry in Maluku province, in the city of Ambon City and West Seram District (SBB). Factors that cause residents living in the forest in the region of Maluku, the illegal logging and the second factor is the low level of awareness of the people living around the State forest area in the location of this study.

The One

Could there be a win-win situation for both pension funds and the Swiss forestry sector? On the one hand, developments in the forestry sector suggest that the Swiss forest presents a new lucrative investment opportunity. If this is so, then pension funds could be particularly interested, as the low correlation between Swiss forest and other classes of investment, and the long investment periods involved are ideal for pension fund portfolios. On the other hand, large investments made by pension funds could mean that existing problems in Swiss forestry, in connection with its fragmented nature, could be more rapidly solved, and the potential for rationalization in the wood value chain could be fully realized. This would in turn make investments in the forest even more profitable. This hypothesis was investigated through a comprehensive literature analysis, yield calculations for private forestry enterprises of over 50 ha made by the Swiss Federal Office for Statistics 2004–2008, and an interview with the investments director of a large Swiss pension fund. Despite the optimistic assumption that the greater efficiency gained by the investment of pension funds into the forestry sector could lead to costs lower by 50% and a 20% increase in profits, the hypothesis must be rejected, because a calculated annual return of only 0.82% is too low for pension funds. The conclusion is that the price for forest land is high, and forest owners are not only interested in the monetary value of holding forest. Other immaterial values influence prices. It is suggested that a greater emphasis on socioscientific studies concerning the link between the price of forest land and the motivation to buy and sell forest could lead to some important findings.

TWO months ago when some of the salient features of the National Health Assembly were reviewed in this column (July issue), the report of the Maternal and Child Health Section was reserved for more complete presentation. This Section report is far too bulky to be quoted fully here. It includes first a factual summary of the present status of maternal and child health under the heading: "Where are we now in Maternal and Child Health?" Sub-committees, each of which submitted separate reports, were appointed to consider the following topics: 1. Training of personnel 2. Health of the School Age Child 3. Parent Education 4. Program to Raise Standards of Maternity, Newborn, and Pediatric Hospital Care 5. Research Program in Child Life 6. Care of the Handicapped, Including Prevention of Accidents Because other sections of the Assembly considered nutrition, dental care, environmental sanitation, mental hygiene and the chronic diseases common in childhood, these important factors were not considered in detail by the Maternal and Child Health Section. The most important part of the report is a summary entitled: "Goals for Maternal and Child Health." This statement includes the Sub-committee recommendations which were agreed upon as the most significant. This summary is therefore quoted in full as follows: Goals for Maternal and Child Health Whenever stock is taken of achievements designed to increase the chances of a good life and to improve the conditions of living, the people turn to examine the status of public and private action in behalf of children and to assess the extent and quality of care provided. This is natural because we recognize that the good life for mankind and world peace lies in the health and vigor of children, in their capacity to learn, in their ability to grow as thinking, reasoning human beings, and to develop from infancy through childhood and youth until they reach adulthood as fully mature persons, secure in their ability to take their places as citizens and as parents.

Allocation of the burden of proof is a key issue of criminal procedure that is affected by multiple legal and social factors. Under due process principles, the defendant’s right to a fair and impartial trial is deemed to be the epicenter of the whole structure. However, efficient law enforcement is a prominent public interest that must be considered. This article explores the correlation between public and private interest in proving insanity under the law of New York, which provides great empirical background due to its long history of legal disputes and legislative changes. Considering the nature and structure of the burden of proof, the author concludes that there are several principles for its fair allocation: the due party that bears both the burden and the risk of its nonperformance; the feasibility of the burden; the adequate opportunity for the other party to rebut; the concentration of resources upon needs that are not presumed but in fact exist. All the mentioned principles lay the ground for the harmonization of constitutional guaranties for the defendant as well as the successful enforcement of criminal law. The current New York approach to insanity defense as an affirmative one along with the history of its implementation tends to prove its compliance with such requirements. This finding suggests that bearing the burden shall not be treated as impairment by default, but can protect both the interest of this party and the integrity of the whole process.

The articles in this special issue of Practicing Anthropology grew out of a symposium on "Women Anthropologists in the Public and Private Sectors: Opportunities for Non-Academic Career Advancement" sponsored by the Committee on the Status of Women (COSWA) at the 1981 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association. As organizers of the panel, Donald Lindburg and I sought participants from each subfield of anthropology working in both the public and private sectors. In the first regard we were successful, with presentations by social, linguistic and physical anthropologists and two archeologists. In the second regard we were less successful, with four of the five panelists—Sibley, Wynn, Wildesen, and Brockman—employed by private concerns.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the status of coaching and coach education in Spain. Particular emphasis is placed on legislative evolution of the qualifications of sport coaches and the repercussions it has had on the sport and education system. The formal training of sport coaches in Spain has undergone many legislative changes since the promulgation of the Constitution in 1978. This period of legislative changes has been long and has not ended as a single process. Transitory provisions are still being used to impart and approve training courses. The changes adopted have served to introduce sport teaching into the Spanish education system as a special education system; and to homogenize the study plans, the requisites for teachers who give the courses and the administrative procedures, among the different sport disciplines. The equalization of professional sport qualifications at the European level is now more feasible.

Report B1: This report therefore aims at displaying the Status Quo of PVT Characterization in order to support PVT technology in its further development and applications. The report is hence of interest for researchers as well as public and private sector stakeholders. A key finding is that the reliability and durability of PVT modules are especially challenged at elevated temperatures and higher humidity loads. The test methods available from the IEC and ISO standards are covering the specifics of PV and ST module’s, most of which are similar for PVT modules, too.

Special Protection

In International law, the status of persons with mental disabilities is regulated within the framework on the protection of persons with disabilities. Their rights are protected not only by international treaties comprising legal provisions of binding character for the parties but also by means of the so-called "soft law" comprising international documents which are not legally binding. Most of the general and subject specific treaties on human rights do not explicitly deal with the status of persons with disabilities. Only recently have some treaties been made containing legal provisions on special protection of persons with disabilities. The most important treaty of this kind is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in the year 2006. The protection of such persons is regulated in much more detail by "soft law" which includes a number of documents adopted by the UN, the Council of Europe and the European Union. Although most of these documents primarily pertain to the rights and the status of persons with disabilities, there are a few that exclusively deal with the protection of persons with mental disorder.
