General Introduction. The UN scale of assessment was applied to calculate AEWA contributions at MOP1, MOP2 and MOP3. Since MOP4 (2008), however, the apportioning of annual contributions to the AEWA core budget has not strictly followed the UN scale of assessments. At MOP4, the contributions to the remaining budget - after deduction of the minimum contributions and the amount to be withdrawn from the reserve – were negotiated among the Parties. The contributions calculated at MOP4 were then frozen for the next ten years (same figures used at MOP5 and at MOP6) regardless of the economic situation of the individual countries. The strict application of the UN scale of assessment for the AEWA budget 2019-2021 would create considerable increases in the case of a number of Parties, even if the budget was maintained at a zero nominal growth level. Other countries, however, would benefit from the application of the UN scale of assessments, although they might be willing to, at least, maintain the current level of financial commitment. The Secretariat would like to point out that it will be crucial for the further functioning of the Agreement to choose a scale which will have no negative impact on the total budget to be shared by Parties. For this reason, the AEWA Standing Committee has advised the Secretariat to apply the following criteria for the development of the scale of contributions for 2019-2021: To keep the minimum contribution at 2,000 EUR; To fix the EU contribution at the original 2.5 %; To retain the maximum threshold at 20 %; To return to the UN scale of assessments while implementing a gradual transitional period consisting of the MOP cycles (six years); To freeze the contributions which would otherwise decrease; To direct contributions from new Parties into the AEWA Trust Fund. To follow up on Resolution 6.18 and the intersessional decisions of the AEWA Standing Committee the Secretariat has developed a scale of contribution which returns to the UN scale of assessments, as primarily foreseen by the Agreement, but with a gradual transitional period consisting of two MOP cycles (six years). The minimum contribution of 2,000 EUR was kept; the EU contribution was fixed at 2.5 % and the maximum threshold of 20 % was retained (see above a) - c). Following additional measures were taken to calculate the final contributions (step d) and e)) of the above criteria): All contributions that would decrease compared to MOP6 were frozen at their current amount. This has led to a "savin...

General Introduction. The principal aim of this book is to study three important construction rituals of the Hindu tradition: the laying of the first stones, the placing of the consecration deposit and the placing of the crowning bricks. These rituals are described in numerous Sanskrit texts on architecture and religion, which date from ca. 7th to 16th centuries AD.1 It is therefore hardly surprising that the present study is based mainly on textual sources. The chief source is the Kâśyapaśilpa, a South Indian treatise on art and architecture and ritual, written in Sanskrit, usually dated 11th – 12th century AD. Three chapters from the Kâśyapaśilpa, which deal with the three construction rituals mentioned above, have been critically edited, translated and provided with a commentary (see Chapter 4). For this purpose, unpublished manuscripts of the Kâśyapaśilpa were collected in various Southern Indian libraries. In order to place the three chapters of the Kâśyapaśilpa in a broader context, the descriptions of the construction rituals given by cognate texts, some of them still unpublished, have also been studied (see Chapter 5). The construction rites play an important role in Sanskrit texts on ritual and architecture. Nevertheless, this topic has thus far largely been neglected by scholars. This is particularly striking in view of the numerous publications, which have appeared on the outer appearance of temples, the technical aspects of temple building and temple worship. With the exception of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1946), whose interpretations should be treated with caution (see, for example, Chapter 6 note 12), there has never been an attempt to study the construction rituals as a whole and to explain their function and meaning. For those who want to arrive at an understanding of the construction rituals, textual sources alone are not sufficient. The texts are mainly technical treatises, which provide only a very limited interpretation for the actions they describe. Moreover, for the questions about the relation between the textual data and practice the answer has to be sought outside the textual sources. Have rituals, such as those described by the Kâśyapaśilpa and the related works, ever been performed? And if so, were the rituals performed according to the textual prescriptions? 1 The placing of the first stones is mentioned in a few earlier texts, for example in the 6th century AD ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (BùS 52.110, ed. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; 53.112, ed. Bhat). In order to answer this question, I began a se...

General Introduction. The studies presented in this thesis stem from an interest in Roma’s fate which entails a challenge of immense practical importance. Negative attitudes towards the Roma have been a common denominator of widespread rejection, exclusion and outright hostility that marked the eight-century-long Roma history in Europe (Crowe, 2008). In recent years, an increasing ethnic mobility within the European Union enabled the Roma to travel from one country to another to escape discrimination and search for a better life (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 2009). Most of Roma, however, remain excluded from the mainstream population, and face continued poverty and discrimination (Kostadinova, 2011). The goal of this dissertation is to provide an insight into social-psychological mechanisms that underlie this appalling situation of European Roma. We refer to negative attitudes towards the Roma as Romaphobia1. Like other type of outgroup attitudes, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ reflects negative emotions associated with group membership, i. e. being Roma. The Roma group membership is strongly determined by common ancestry (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1995). Nevertheless, the label “Roma” does not refer to a homogenous group, but to a highly diversified minority, which adheres to multiple cultural and religious traditions (Liegeois, 1994). Cross-cultural research shows that the label “Roma” pertains to Roma ethnicity (i.e. heritage), but also reflects transparent status differences from the mainstream population (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2001; ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2006). The integrated threat theory (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1996) offers a theoretical framework for studying Romaphobia. It focuses on perceived cultural discrepancies and status differences in the form of threat to material (i.e. realistic threat) and immaterial resources (i.e. symbolic threat). In the following sections, we present the theoretical rationales for perceived threat and its antecedents to be the main causes of Romaphobia. 1 In the following chapters, the words prejudice, negative feelings and anti-Roma attitudes are used interchangeably. The idea that perceived threat constitutes a key for negative outgroup attitudes has extensively been discussed within the realistic group conflict theory (Sherif, 1966), and symbolic racism theory (Kinder & Sears, 1981). More recently, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (1996) unified these conceptually different notions into the integrated threat theory. The integrated threat theory suggests that the social psychologi...

General Introduction. The purpose of this annexure is to provide information for developers about the different, most common types of highway works agreements, when each is applicable, and the procedures to be followed in each case to ensure matters can be dealt with expeditiously. A condition or conditions imposed on a planning consent may require alterations or improvements to the public highway to be completed before a development is occupied or, in some instances, before it is commenced. For the necessary works to be executed the developer must enter into an appropriate form of highway works agreement with the Highway Authority. In some cases, where a condition has not been imposed, the requirement may be in the form of a planning obligation contained in an agreement made between the developer and Local Planning Authority under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to the planning consent. The highway works agreements discussed are;
