Abstract

"Belgische armoede moeilijk in te dijken." '680.000 Vlamingen onder armoededrempel.' "Eén Vlaming op de vijf kan zich geen weekje vakantie veroorloven." Zulke krantentitels lees je met de regelmaat van de klok. Maar cijfers en statistieken zijn leeg en droog. Alsof de mens eruit verdwenen is. In Aan de onderkant ligt de lat altijd hoger, opgetekend door ATD Vierde Wereld-medewerkers Marijke Decuypere en Guy Malfait, lees je de levende verhalen van wie de realiteit achter de cijfers meemaakt. Over Kevin, die op school de foto's van zijn bezoek aan de Kalmthoutse Heide toont en zegt dat hij op safari naar Kenia is geweest. Over Elsa, moeder van drie, die van de VDAB te horen krijgt: wij gaan u activeren. Maar ook over congé in Frankrijk, over voor het eerst in uw leven naar de opera gaan, en ook wel over Lucy die ondanks haar eigen miserie Emiel aan een referentieadres helpt en zelfs nog geld voor een straatbibliotheek weet in te zamelen.Bron: https://www.epo.be/nl/mammoet/4031-aan-de-onderkant-ligt-de-lat-altijd-hoger-9789462671874.html

Abstract

A careful basic theoretical and econometric analysis of the factors determining the real exchange rates of Canada, the U.K., Japan, France and Germany with respect to the United States is conducted. The resulting conclusion is that real exchange rates are almost entirely determined by real factors relating to growth and technology such as oil and commodity prices, international allocations of world investment across countries, and underlying terms of trade changes. Unanticipated money supply shocks, calculated in five alternative ways have virtually no effects. A Blanchard-Quah VAR analysis also indicates that the effects of real shocks predominate over monetary shocks by a wide margin. The implications of these facts for the conduct of monetary policy in countries outside the U.S. are then explored leading to the conclusion that all countries, to avoid exchange rate overshooting, have tended to automatically follow the same monetary policy as the United States. The history of world monetary policy is reviewed along with the determination of real exchange rates within the Euro Area.

Abstract

This textbook aims to be the bridge between plate theory and FE-software. Structural engineers must translate elastic analysis results into economic structure dimensions and reinforcement, which raises difficulties. Not all engineers are well enough equipped for the increasingly easy-to-use powerful programs. The problem is not lack of FE-knowledge, but rather ignorance of plate behaviour. Therefore, this book starts with classical plate theory for membrane and bending states, and proceeds to FE-practice. This volume can be used for university courses, serving as practical preparation for the engineering profession, and as a guide to structural designers.

Abstract

"Roughly a billion people around the world continue to live in state of chronic hunger and food insecurity. Unfortunately, efforts to improve their livelihoods must now unfold in the context of a rapidly changing climate, in which warming temperatures and changing rainfall regimes could threaten the basic productivity of the agricultural systems on which most of the world’s poor directly depend. But whether climate change represents a minor impediment or an existential threat to development is an area of substantial controversy, with different conclusions wrought from different methodologies and based on different data. This book aims to resolve some of the controversy by exploring and comparing the different methodologies and data that scientists use to understand climate’s effects on food security. In explains the nature of the climate threat, the ways in which crops and farmers might respond, and the potential role for public and private investment to help agriculture adapt to a warmer world. This broader understanding should prove useful to both scientists charged with quantifying climate threats, and policy-makers responsible for crucial decisions about how to respond. The book is especially suitable as a companion to an interdisciplinary undergraduate or graduate level class. "This book provides a much needed analysis of the interactions between climate change and the food system, with emphasis on how food security is likely to be affected and interventions needed to adapt to a warmer world." Per Pinstrup-Andersen, Cornell University, New York, USA."--Publisher.
