The study is designed to empirically test the effects which different ruling party ideologies have on spending for public order and safety budget component in Central and Eastern European countries. The transitional environment and especially post-Cold War security context have altered the concept of security in former socialist societies. Our assumption, based not just on theoretical concepts of left and right ideologies, but also on studies examining this matter in more developed Western democracies, was that right-leaning cabinets will have higher levels of budget consumption for law and order than leftist governments. The empirical model confirmed this hypothesis, albeit only partially. A number of other political, economic, and contextual variables connected with transitional setting, which usually have effect on general levels of spending or certain budget areas, have demonstrated a low significance when comes to law and order spending.

This article examines the incorporation of restorative principles and practices within reforms of Northern Ireland’s youth justice system, adopted following the peace process. It considers whether restorative justice principles can be successfully incorporated into criminal justice reform as part of a process of transitional justice. The article argues that restorative justice principles, when brought within criminal justice, can contribute to the broader process of transitional justice and peace building, particularly in societies where the police and criminal justice system have been entwined in the conflict. In these contexts restorative justice within criminal justice can help civil society to take a stake in the administration and delivery of criminal justice, it can help break down hostility and animosity towards criminal justice and contribute to the development of social justice and civic agency, so enabling civil society to move forward in a transitional environment.

This study represents the lithological correlation of multi-cores taken from the various parts of the current Lake Bafa basin, BAF35, - 37 - 39 - 41, - 42, - 46. Concerning the main depositional characteristics, we reconstructed fundamental characteristics of local abrupt and gradual environmental fluctuations. The gradual changes reflect four main environmental phases are lacustrine stage (last 0.8 ky), lagoon stage (0.8–1.75 ky BP), marine-river interaction stage (1.75–2.7 ky BP) and the earliest marine-dominated stage (>2.7 ky BP).

Pros And Cons

This paper considers some of the barriers in implementing the RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for identifying, locating, tracking and tracing goods in supply chains, along with a model for adopting cloud services that can mitigate these obstacles in the transitional environment. The analysis is based on the assessments of the implementation impediments, given by the experts in the field of logistics: university professors, assistants and entrepreneurs from three Western Balkan countries (Montenegro, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina). Since the professionals’ assessments are influenced by their experiences from the transitional economies, which are faced with limited abilities to invest in expensive business information systems, the main hypothesis is that moving the logistics into the cloud may resolve or at least alleviate the considered problems. On the basis of the available secondary literature resources on pros and cons of RFID implementation into supply chains, and the statistical analysis of the consciously completed questionnaires in the survey, the model for adopting cloud services for providing RFID-enabled goods and related activities in the considered economies is proposed at a logical level. The paper also gives some directions for further research work in this domain.

The benthic system of the Golfo San Jorge was characterized from physico-chemical parameters based on samplings obtained during seasonal research cruises carried out on board the INIDEP vessels from springtime 1999 through wintertime 2000. Spatial and seasonal variations of temperature, salinity, density, oxygen content and chlorophyll-a in bottom water and concentration of total organic matter, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, chlorophyll-a and phaeopigments in sediments were analysed. The origin and nutritional value of the deposited organic matter were also assessed. The behaviour of the physico-chemical characteristics of the benthic habitat, studied applying statistical techniques, defined three sectors with particular characteristics and minimum seasonal variations: sector 1, the largest and deepest one, comprises the central area of the gulf and corresponds to a depositional environment; sector 2 comprises the areas next to the extremes of the gulf and corresponds to a flow or erosive environment; sector 3 includes the coastal area and south-east part of the gulf and belongs to a transitional environment.

ABSTRACT. The Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) is a generalization of the acoustic impedance (AI) to nonzero incidence angles θ allowing the inversion of sections created by the weighted combinations of intercept and gradient to discriminate fluids and lithology. For certain angle χ, related to θ by sin2 θ = tanχ, the IEE at that angle is proportional to some elastic parameter such as of Lame’s, the Bulk module and the Vp/Vs ratio. The technique is fruitful in offshore projects, where seismic data are generally of good quality. The Llanos basin in Colombia contains rocks of the Cretaceous transitional with stratigraphic traps of hydrocarbon deposits. The IEE inversion quantified parameters that together allowed the interpretation of lateral changes in lithology and the definition of sand channels of the transitional environment in lithic units of the Cretaceous Gachetá formation, in an onshore seismic project in the Llanos basin in Colombia.Keywords: inversion, seismic, onshore, stratigraphy.RESUMO. A Impedância Elástica Estendida (EEI) é a generalização da impedância acústica (AI) para ângulos de incidência não-zero θ permitindo a inversão de seções criadas pelas combinações ponderadas de intercepção e gradiente para discriminar fluidos e litologia. Para certo ângulo χ, relacionado a θ por sen2 = tanχ, o IEE nesse ângulo é proporcional a algum parâmetro elástico, como os de Lamé, o módulo Bulk e a relação Vp/Vs. A técnica é frutífera em projetos na mar, onde os dados sísmicos são geralmente de boa qualidade. A bacia Llanos na Colômbia contém rochas de ambientes de transição do período Cretáceo com armadilhas estratigráficas de depósitos de hidrocarbonetos. Os parâmetros conjuntamente quantificados por inversão da IEE, permitiram a interpretação de mudanças laterais em litologia e a definição de canais de areia do ambiente de transição em unidades rochosas da Cretácica formação Gachetá, em um projeto sísmico terrestre na bacia de Llanos na Colômbia.Palavras-chave: inversão, sísmica, onshore, estratigrafia.

In the Carboniferous–Permian period, several organic-rich black shales were deposited in a marine–continental transitional environment in the Linfen area on the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin. Integrated sedimentological and organic geochemical analyses are performed on an outcrop in order to clarify the relationship between paleoenvironment and organic matter accumulation. The results of this study show that the marine–continental transitional strata of the Upper Carboniferous Benxi Formation to Lower Permian Taiyuan and Shanxi Formation exposed in the Linfen area are composed of sandstone, shale, coal, and limestone. Total organic carbon (TOC) contents of the studied samples were mainly distributed in the range of 0.59%–35.4%, with an average of 7.32%. From Benxi Formation to Shanxi formation, the humidity gradually increased, and the climate gradually changed from hot and humid to warm and humid during Carboniferous to Permian. The deposition of the Shanxi Formation ended with the climate returning to hot and humid, having an oxic-suboxic conditions and a high paleoproductivity. Paleoredox conditions and paleoproductivity are the two vital factors controlling the formation of organic matter in black shales. The transitional environment characterized by oxic-suboxic, relatively high deposition rate, and various source of organic matter, although different from the marine environment, provides a good material basis for the deposition of organic-rich shales.
