Main conclusions Clause Samples
The 'Main conclusions' clause serves to summarize the key findings, decisions, or outcomes established in the agreement or document. Typically, this clause distills the essential points that have been agreed upon, such as the parties' obligations, the resolution of disputes, or the final terms of a negotiation. By clearly outlining the main takeaways, it ensures that all parties have a shared understanding of the most important aspects of the agreement, thereby reducing ambiguity and helping to prevent future misunderstandings.
Main conclusions. Although parrotfish and grunts are increasing in size and biomass, fishery stocks remain low in Bluefields Bay. Future increases are probably limited by the relatively small amount of coral reef habitat that’s currently under active protection within the BBSFCA. Corals are relatively abundant. A few are diseased, but as of Fall 2018 there are no signs of the new stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) that’s been devastating the north coast reefs. Coral recruits (< 4 cm. diameter) average ~15/m2, affording good potential for continued reef growth, especially if the reef surfaces currently occupied by their detractors (macroalgae, turf algal sediment mats, cyanobacteria and aggressive invertebrates) can be minimized by increases in herbivory and water quality. In 2015, the key herbivore, Diadema antillarum, was present in such high densities at some locations on two shoal crest sites (BL08, BL11) that crustose coralline algae and the underlying reef rock were being whittled away by their bioeroding feeding activities. Transplanting any “excessive” individuals as still remain onto reefs lacking urchins might help prevent the build- up of the macroalgae that are currently outcompeting corals on the deeper reefs outside the BBSFCA. Sediment and nutrients in runoff and groundwater, especially near the river mouths, may be stimulating the growth of cyanobacteria and algae in Bluefields Bay. Effects, if any, of additional water-borne pollutants (pesticides or other synthetic chemicals, enteric bacteria, viruses, etc.) are unknown.

Main conclusions. The objective of this research was to compare two different interface agreements, the Min- max interface agreement and the Lead-time interface agreement. For both interface agree- ments, models were developed and simulated in order to answer the research questions. The generate results input data of the repair group Electric at the repair shop of NedTrain is used. The main conclusions of the research are itemized below. Research question 1: The performance of the Min-max interface agreement can be improved by changing the parameters of the turn-around stock and the minimum levels. The performance can be improved for all KPIs; EBO, fill rate, minrate and investment costs. There is a parameter setting obtained, which results in an investment costs decrease from €9,119,108.38 to €3,436,193.45, an increase in fill rate from 0.84 to 0.92, an increase in minrate (percentage of the time the repair shop is able to adhere to the interface agreement) from 0.82 to 0.90 and a decrease in EBO from 13 to 2.5. Depending on the preferences, other parameters settings can be obtained using the optimization model developed. The optimization model works well in case of the Min-max interface agreement.
Main conclusions findings and limitations
1. Develop a limited number of designed languages for education. 218 Language, Education and Identity in Africa
2. Designed languages should be chosen in such a way that they are easy to learn for as many speakers of discerned languages as possible.
3. Strive for inclusivity: choose designed languages in such a way that all have to exert a relatively low but relatively equal effort to learn them.
4. Make use of existing bilingualism as a resource. The case study on Ethiopia led me to propose a fifth principle:
5. Build incentives for linguistic collaboration, especially for related linguistic communities. I tried to show how the theoretical insights thus gained could be applied, presenting five brief country case studies, of Botswana, Congo Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania. They reinforced the point that cultural and linguistic differences cannot be mapped onto one another. However, they also made clear that indeed, in all cases it is possible to propose rational language policies, using a limited number of designed African languages. Such rational policies would represent a tremendous improvement compared to the current situation. For Botswana, I argued in favour of special arrangements for speakers of the Khoisan languages in the country, in addition to the use of Tswana. For Congo and Tanzania, most people would be well-served by one of the Bantu languages spoken in those countries. For Ghana, the situation is more complicated and as many as six languages might be needed (still below the number of nine languages currently supported by the Government, but only up to primary school level). For Ethiopia, by far the most complicated country language-wise in my list of cases studies, in theory only five languages would be sufficient,2 although in practice this seems unrealistic. The study provides an additional way of looking at decolonization of African education: changing the University curriculum will not be enough. In addition, it will be necessary to re-think the ‘educational pyramid’ from the bottom up and to think about rational choices for increased use of African languages. A developed society requires a productive population and a productive population means an educated population. In many African countries, primary education is now almost universal. However, there is a scope and need for considerable expansion of (appropriate) education at secondary and tertiary levels: Africa will need to educate all its brains. In ...
Main conclusions. Project implementation effectiveness: CRS and its implementing partners were effective in mobilizing and delivering direct services to beneficiary children and households. Overall, the project implementation team demonstrated strong capacity to efficiently set up offices in local communities, identify appropriate beneficiaries, mobilize resources, and deliver planned goods and services.
Main conclusions. Based on the working sessions described and the data analysis produced several conclusions can be drawn from the evidence, particularly the program’s previous work is considered. With regards to specific profiles Data Analytics was the profile consistently identified as the most demanded and, as it derives from the analysis, such demand can be partly explained by the need for a greater user-centric capacity builder. Likewise, when pondering the new suggested profiles, and looking into the group’s insights for justifying such new profiles, it is plausible to identify future demanded positions as those with a more holistic perspective of the IoT ecosystem, introducing profiles such as that of the IoT Architect. On the other hand, ▇▇▇ Cloud expert was the profile for which consensus was unanimous when locating it in a low demanded position in the future. The IoT Cloud Expert’s loss of relevance is also indicative of the validation of the Expert Group’s opinion that the transition from cloud to the edge continuum will define the incoming years. This perspective is consistent with the IoT framework in its perspective of interpreting the IoT transition in such a direction. There is agreement among the Expert Group that IoT-related skills are currently in high demand. When taking into consideration the profiles on which the experts coincided, all profiles were classified as in high demand. This confirms the general framework in which the IoT project is based that acknowledges a gap between the IoT skills demand and the market's current capacity to supply such demand, reinforcing the need for programmes and whole system approaches to narrow that gap. Moreover, closely related to the existing gap, the data also seems to indicate the agreement among consulted Experts that the gap is expected to increase in the next five years (by a high demand increase) before being closed significantly by 2032. Both when the overall composition of high, medium and low demand profiles is analysed and taking the top and bottom profiles, a progressive increase of medium and low demanded profiles towards 2032 is observed. Regarding the current profile mapping as well as the skills mapping, there was an even distribution of skills mapping within all relevant profiles. This can be indicative of the growing need for a complementary and integral perspective on IoT profile formations. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Programming Skills, among others, were all identified as equ...
Main conclusions. The European steel industry together with other energy- and carbon-intensive industries is presently engaged in a fierce debate with the European institutions about ‘carbon leakage’. In this debate about the proposed EU climate measures and the competitiveness of European industry several issues are discussed, with most attention paid to the extent to which industries qualify and to what extent for the free allocation of emission rights after 2012. In December 2008, European Council and Parliament reached an agreement on this issue, stating that in sectors exposed to carbon leakage 100% of allowances will be allocated free of charge “at the level of the benchmark of the best available technology”. It was also decided that the list of exposed sectors shall be determined after taking into account the extent to which third countries also engage in climate measures “to an extent comparable to that of the EU” and “the extent to which carbon efficiency of installations located in these countries is comparable to that of the EU”. On 31 December 2009 the latest it will be decided what sectors are supposed to be exposed to carbon leakage and on 30 June 2010 the latest the Commission will hand it a report reviewing the proposed measures in the light of the outcomes of the December 2009 Kopenhagen negotiations.
Main conclusions. Based on the modelling and simulation work carried out in task 6.6, it can be observed that each of the three evaluated applications from a techno-economic point might be interesting under certain conditions. Off-grid hydrogen may represent benefits compared to competing technologies: ✓ For electrification of isolated site with high seasonality of renewable power is observed; ✓ For gas grid injection when renewable power factor is high and gas grid constraints are limited; ✓ For mobility when renewable power factor is high and low carbon mobility is valued. Main purpose is to analyse literature and other H2 projects to identify what seems most promising based on studies at European levels. Table 1 identifies main public studies that were consulted to contribute to the identification of most promising business cases for off-grid hydrogen.

Main conclusions. As of today, very few demo projects can be considered real off-grid projects as there have a connection to electric grid. This is because the current status of electrification in off-grid location with hydrogen is facing the challenge of managing the unpredictability and volubility of the renewable sources rather than demonstrating a totally off-grid operation. In other words, it is needed to analyze the electrolyzer behavior and its production ratios whit renewable sources before to be totally isolated. However, it is expected to create replicability with the few real off-grid projects, pushing demonstration facilities all over EU in order to meet the future standards of decarbonization. The only real off grid configurations are for electrification of isolated sites or isolated villages. From the previous analysis of (i) ELY4OFF deliverables, (ii) public literature and (iii) on-going hydrogen demonstration projects, opportunities and most promising business cases for off-grid hydrogen may be identified. The critical elements for opportunities identifications are of different nature: • Off-grid justification: o Real isolated areas 🡪 rural areas, mountains in Europe, developing countries o Grid not sized to absorb and transport renewable power potential • High value Hydrogen market • High value for low carbon content of hydrogen • Limited or poor competition Table 5 identifies selected promising business cases associated to the 4 main market applications.

Main conclusions. Main conclusions from this chapter outlining the steel sector are: • Nine countries and regions dominate the world steel markets. These are China, Russia, Ukraine, the EU-27, the United States, Japan, Brazil and South Korea. China is by far the largest steel producer, with 36% of world production in 2007 and a five fold increase of production in recent years. The EU-27 covers nearly 16% of world steel production and is as a region world’s second largest producer. • Steel is traded globally, although most steel trade takes place within geographical regions. This also holds for the European Union. However, 22% of EU imports and 24% of EU exports were extra-regional in 2006, thus signalling a significant influence of external trade on the position of the EU steel sector37. 32 Speech by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ - CEO of Corus Group and Chairman of the World Steel Association Climate Change Policy Group - at the 2008 annual conference of the World Steel Association in Washington DC., 5-7 October 2008, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/index.php?action=storypages&id=306 33 Eurofer Annual Report 2007, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/index.php/eng/News-Publications/Annual-Report/2007-Annual- Report 34 Corus Group website, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/en/responsibility/climate_change/strategy/ 35 Corus Netherlands website, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/Issues/CO2%20Emissiehandel 36 Corus Corporate Responsibility Report 2007/08, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/file_source/StaticFiles/Functions/HSE/CorusCRR0708.pdf 37 World Steel Association, World steel in figures 2008, second edition, 2008, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/?action=programs&id=64
Main conclusions. According to Article 440 (1) of the Civil Code, performance of a contract is paid for at a price\established by agreement of the parties. The second part of the same article provides that the change in price after conclusion of a contract is allowed in cases and on conditions provided by contract or statute. Article 466 (1) of the Civil Code provides that change and rescission of a contract are possible by agreement of the parties, unless otherwise specified by statute or contract. The loan contract signed between the bank and the client established that changes and/or supplements to the contract could only be made through another document subject to the signing by the parties. Further, Article 468 (2) provides that an agreement to change or rescind a contract shall be made in the same form as the contract unless it follows otherwise from a statute, other legal acts, contract, or customary business practice. As was noted before, Mediator had requested the bank to provide the terms and conditions for its employees to use bank services, yet these terms have no provisions on granted insider loans in the event they are dismissed. The procedure, as provided by the bank, telling that the terms and rates of service after expiry and/or rescission of the employment contract will change subject to the terms applicable in any given period of time, was approved after the loan contract had been signed with the client.
