The article is devoted to the analysis of urban “highways-barriers” (on the example of the South-West of Moscow) – the largest highways and railways, which are characterized by a combination of a high level of contact and barrier functions. Three of their key functions are identified: limiting, stabilizing, function of unevenness and no equilibrium growth. The main transport hubs have been identified on the basis of which highway barriers are divided according to the degree of contact (barrier) into three categories. It is shown that, as a rule, the larger the spatial size of the highway-barrier, the larger its volume of traffic flow, however, there are many exceptions. In the South-West of Moscow, with a relatively even settlement, the placement of metro stations plays a key role in overcoming the barrier. On less significant highways, the role of metro stations in overcoming the barrier is especially great. In some areas, highways-barriers form barrier topological tiers. A key feature of the South-West of Moscow is the presence of two barrier tiers. Inside the first barrier tier there are objects that mark it as a special urban area. A characteristic part of the first tier is the approach to the periphery in the area where Leninsky Prospekt and Vernadsky Prospekt meet. The second barrier tier is quite small and in- cludes the area between the Cheremushkinskiy market and Profsoyuznaya street. The existing system of highways-barriers was formed by the time of registration in 1968–1970. South-West of Moscow as a whole and manifests itself at the present time.

Proper Analysis

The judgment of the International Court of Justice of 18 July 1966 in the South-West Africa case throws revealing light on the role of that Court in the international community. A proper analysis of this case may also help to dispel some of the mystification about international law and the attitude of the new nations to it.

Application Rates

The effect of soil acidity on barley growth in Western Australia and the role of aluminium toxicity and nutrient deficiencies were examined at 9 sites using 5 application rates of lime and 3 levels of supply of nutrients. Nutrient plant analysis was also used to assess the mechanisms involved in any response to lime.Lime application increased barley yields at 3 sites, by 9-30%, by alleviating aluminium toxicity. Nutrient treatments did not interact with the lime response. The largest reduction in grain yield (>15%) that was due to aluminium toxicity occurred at the site which had the lowest pH (4.3 in 0.01 mol CaCl2/L) and the highest concentration of CaCl2-extractable aluminium (5 �g/g).

Purpose This paper aims to report the findings of a study that explores the contribution volunteers make to social care for older adults, identifying lessons for the social care sector and policymakers. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory multiple case study design was used to capture the perspectives and experiences of managers of services, volunteer co-ordinators, volunteers, paid care staff and older people. Seven diverse social care organisations took part in the study drawn from three locations in the South West of England. Findings This study identified three distinct models of volunteer contribution to social care services for older people. Although the contributions made by volunteers to services are valued, the study drew attention to some of the challenges related to their involvement. Research limitations/implications The organisations taking part in this small-scale study were all based in the South West of England, and the findings are therefore not generalisable but contribute to the growing evidence base related to this important field. Practical implications This study demonstrates the importance of the volunteer co-ordinator role and suggests that it is properly funded and resourced. It also confirms the importance of volunteers receiving appropriate training and support. Originality/value Given the increasing involvement of volunteers in the provision of social care, this paper provides lessons to ensure the role of volunteers in social care enhances rather than diminishes the quality of care provided.

High Level

The emphasis on corporate sustainability as against liquidation in the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 creates an important figure in the person of the business rescue practitioner. The practitioner in that capacity supplants the board and is insulated from the relevant elements of shareholder control in the discharge of the task of rescuing the financially distressed company. The article interrogates, through doctrinal approach, the efficacy of the statutory provisions relating to the role of the business rescue practitioner in the business rescue process and argues against the disqualification of juristic persons from appointment as business rescue practitioners. While respecting the subjective decision of the practitioner in the preparation of the rescue plan, the paper considers that such subjective decision should withstand some level of objective assessment to enjoy credibility, just as the practitioner should conform to a high level of judicial scrutiny as an officer of the court to be absolved from any liability arising from a breach of duty.

Hydrocarbon Development

The South West Queensland Gas Project is the first greenfield gas development in the Cooper Basin for around 10 years. This has allowed a decade of operating experience from wet gas fields in the region to be applied in the design of the new facility. The design also took into consideration potential future expansion of the facility for increased throughput and the production of sales gas to service markets to the east and north.A greenfield hydrocarbon development in such a remote location is much more than just a gathering system and processing facility. A full range of infrastructure was also developed including telecommunications, roads, airstrip, accommodation and utilities.The project offered opportunities for a wide variety of Australian vendors and construction contractors. Many demonstrated a high level of capability to meet the cost, schedule and quality demands of a hydrocarbon development in the 1990s. Unfortunately, a number failed to demonstrate that capability.

The general point of this paper is to highlight the important role of Christian missions in the development of language planning. We document this with a case study: the attempt of the South Seas Evangelical Mission to devise a simplified English, intermediate between Pidgin English and full Standard English for their mission work in the south west Pacific. The relatively unsophisticated approach to corpus planning by this body is contrasted with Ogden’s more elaborate proposals for Basic English.

Abstract unga Resolution 69/292 requires that the development of an international legally binding instrument (ilbi) for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (abnj) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea should not undermine existing relevant legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional and sectoral bodies. The South West Pacific regional oceans governance framework is reviewed, highlighting the importance of dedicated mechanisms for cooperation in the integration of regional institutions and in collective diplomacy for the development of an ilbi. It is argued a sufficiently inclusive description of existing arrangements under an ilbi is needed to not undermine the competence or integration of the regional architecture for oceans’ governance. Shared governance principles between an ilbi and existing regional governance architecture could play an important role in preserving coherence and contribute to ensuring regional standards for conservation of bbnj are not diminished.
