The Kyoto target for Romania was to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 8 % from the 1989 levels. The 1989 emissions were around 260 million tones. In 2000 the net CO2 emission - some 125 million tones - were 54% of the net CO2 emission in the reference year -1989, leaving some 115 million tones as a reserve or as a tradable resource to other countries that can not met their Kyoto targets.

This paper revisits Richard Hare's classical and much discussed argument for preference utilitarianism (Moral Thinking, 1981), which relies on the conception of moral deliberation as a process of thought experimentation, with concomitant preference change. The paper focuses on an apparent gap in Hare's reasoning, the so-called No-Conflict Problem. A solution to this difficulty which was proposed i
Experiments have shown that the time is now ripe for a new generation of interactive learning tools for control. The tools are based on objects which admit direct graphical manipulation. During manipulations, objects are updated instantaneously, so that relations between objects are maintained all the time. The tools are natural complements to traditional education, and allow students to quickly g
An academic journal is a special place – even more so an online journal. On the one hand, it is surely one of the main stages of professional qualification, presentation and academic discourse, though regulated through its gatekeeping structures of peer review, official invitation, of academic critique and corrections: it represents an open and accessible, yet not unregulated public space in the b

This essay aims to investigate how Amnesty International handles the so called peace versus justice dilemma in post-conflict societies. This is done by studying a number of Amnesty publications published between 1996 and 2000, concerning various aspects of justice within the peacebuilding-process in Sierra Leone. More concretely, what is studied is whether Amnesty tends to prefer judicial (trials)
In this study four different types of PIR materials have been tested to examine the possibility to use the cone calorimeter (ISO 5660) as a screening tool to evaluate the fire properties of the insulation. As such, manufacturers can be able to make a quick control of the insulation without having to spend resources on full scale testing. One of the materials was from an FM-approved (standard 4880)

Animal bedding, a mixture of straw and manure, could be used as a feedstock for bioenergy production, but its heterogeneity poses new challenges in its use in biorefineries. We have investigated the origin of this heterogeneity and quantified it, and discuss its impact on bioenergy production. Samples were collected from the bedding at different points and depths and analysed by first separating t

It is claimed that the complete trading system impedes the development of the more shattered environmental system and that conflicts between them are likely to increase. Some argues that a solution would be to incorporate the environmental system should in the WTO. The purpose of this thesis is t

Pharmacotherapy is of great importance to all mankind. Drugs are however powerful and must be handled appropriately. This is especially important for elderly patients. D
