Overview: Corruption in Professional German Sports LeaguesThe constantly growing number of arising referee corruption cases as well as their damage to the integrity of the sports society raises the question of why sports associations started availing themselves of referees as an instrument of contest design in the first place? Cedric Duvinage shows that economic theory allows to develop a deeper understanding of the role of a referee in a contest as well as of the danger of sports corruption by considering a referee’s influence on the competitors’ strategies in a contest. These insights provid

Overview: Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit hochaktuellen und grundlegenden rechtlichen und rechtsethischen Fragen der Regulierung der modernen Biotechnologie, insbesondere von genetisch veränderten Organismen. Zentraler Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Rechtssache Confédération Paysanne des EuGH, in der die Anwendung des Vorsorgeprinzips im europäischen Gentechnikrecht gestärkt wurde. Dies wurde von naturwissenschaftlicher Seite als gegenwärtig nicht angemessen und veraltet kritisiert. Das Vorsorgeprinzip, verankert im europäischen Umweltrecht und in verschiedenen Verträgen des internationalen Re

Overview: Following the presentation ofChina‘s Agenda XXIin 1994, the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei began a fruitful collaboration with the SSTC (State Science and Technology Commission) on Natural Resource Accounting of the People‘s Republic of China. Among other initiatives, the Fondazione organised a seminar held in Beijing in March 1996, entitled "Resources Accounting in China". This volume brings together 11 papers as the result ofthat seminar. Our main attempt was to compare approaches and knowledge of specific issues in this area. As far as the approach is concerned there appear to be so

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: .In der deutschen, französischen und britischen Integrationspolitik hat sich in den letzten zehn Jahren ein erstaunliches Interesse an Religion und Religionsgemeinschaften entwickelt.

It presents new laboratory data, theoretical and numerical rock physics models and field observati

Overview: This compact volume is meant as a modest contribution to the ongoing debate on how to transform in particular the radically reforming Eastern European economies into more productive sociopolitical organizations. Although my main focus here is on the economics of reform and east-west assistance, I have tried to embed the multiple technical aspects of restructuring such a resource alloca­ tion into the context of remaking Eastern Europe. That the volume coincides with the seminal transformations of the communist countries of Eastern Europe is, of course, not fortuitous. But I shall hav

Overview: Allows the reader to successfully work with sets of indistinguishable values and missing values.Develops decision-making systems in two configurations: iterative and collective.Written by respected exThis book demonstrates an original concept for implementing the rough set theory in the construction of decision-making systems. It addresses three types of decisions, including those in which the information or input data is insufficient. Though decision-making and classification in cases with missing or inaccurate data is a common task, classical decision-making systems are not natural
