A prerequisite for using the facilities offered by the Bundesbank for cashless payments is a current account with the Bundesbank. 1 The Bundesbank manages current accounts for banks and public authorities and, in exceptional cases - with a limited range of services - also for companies and private individuals. Apart from the minimum reserve balances, current accounts with the Deutsche Bundesbank do not bear interest and are run on a credit basis only. In accordance with the cover principle laid down in the BBankG, payment orders are only executed if sufficient cover is available.

The current nutritional and health profiles of the Mexican population reflect notable failures in the field of social policies. Protein-energy malnutrition and infectious diseases are still relevant public health matters among poor rural and urban populations, and they remain common causes of death during infancy and childhood, and even later in life.

Dense, erudite and sometimes even esoteric, Bonfand’s book is written for the scholar rather than a more general audience. Nevertheless, one has to acknowledge the risk-taking and even the tour de force aspect of the book in which Bonfand ponders the relation between painting and cinema in a very new way. Finally, this work is very encouraging for further investigations of the phenomenology of film using the groundbreaking concepts of the French new wave in phenomenology.

An organic farm plan is central to the certification process. The farm plan describes production, handling, and record-keeping systems, and demonstrates to certifiers an understanding of organic practices for a specific crop. The process of developing the plan can be valuable in terms of anticipating potential issues and challenges, and fosters thinking of the farm as a whole system. Soil, nutrient, pest, and weed management are all interrelated on organic farms and must be managed in concert to be successful.

At the present time the majority of cases of prostate cancer in the United Kingdom are identified following “opportunistic screening” or “case finding” whereby men present to their clinician for one of a number of other reasons and then undergo PSA-testing, ideally following appropriate and adequate counselling. A smaller proportion of cases are identified following clinical presentation with lower urinary tract symptoms or with the symptoms related to advanced prostate cancer.

There is no unique definition among investors of what green investing entails. However, for the purpose of this paper, „green‟ investments refer broadly to low carbon and climate resilient investments made in companies, projects and financial instruments that operate primarily in the renewable energy, clean technology, environmental technology or sustainability related markets as well as those investments that are climate change specific.

Attempts to meet GHGE targets from the food chain must not be made in isolation because any dietary recommendations to reduce GHGEs must also meet dietary requirements for the health of the population. The most recent population-based energy and nutrient requirements were published in 1991 by the Department of Health (DoH 1991), with subsequent recommendations for specific food items such as fruit and vegetables, red and processed meat, and fish set by other organisations such as the Food Standards Agency and the World Cancer Research Fund (FSA 2007, WCRF 2007).

The initial idea that exogenous opiates can affect immune function was first floated in 1898 when Cantacuze described the effect of opium on leukocyte phagocytosis in guinea pig model. Recently findings from several investigators (Quaglio et al., 2002; Nath et al., 2002; Georges et al., 1999; Vallejo et al., 2004; Roy et al., 2006; Somaini et al., 2008) support the role of opiates in suppressing a variety of immunological end points in opiate abusers.

Limited data suggest that the risk of squamous cell carcinoma is similarly increased after first use as a teenager. Artificial tanning confers little if any protection against solar damage to the skin, nor does use of indoor tanning facilities grant protection against vitamin D deficiency. Data also suggest detrimental effects from use of indoor tanning facilities on the skin’s immune response and possibly on the eyes (ocular melanoma). Knowledge of levels of UV exposure during indoor tanning is very imprecise.

Imbalanced feeding leads to excess feeding of some nutrients whilst others remain deficient (Photo 1). This not only reduces milk production and increases costs per kg milk, but also affects various physiological functions including long term animal health, fertility and productivity. To ensure improved productivity it is necessary to augment and secure feed resources through short and long term planning. It is also essential that milk producers feed their animals the nutrients in amounts that match the physiological needs and objective of keeping the animal.

It’s important to not put too much weight on the percentage of share ownership, though; a great deal depends on who owns the other shares, as well as on the other (non-ownership) financial and operating relationships between the investor and the investee corporations. For example, ownership of 30% of an investee corporation may not give the investee significant influence (or any influence) if the other 70% is held by a single shareholder who will not tolerate any influence.

The purpose of this essay is to show how credit markets influence development and to argue that the impact of improvements in credit markets is quantitatively significant. The essay first establishes the fact that access to credit is limited, emphasizing the magnitudes. It then goes on to the potential importance of financial sector development, again quantifying the impact. Toward the end of the essay there is a discussion of the merits of different interventions.

One might expect that these regions would divide into two groups, those free of highly-infectious poultry diseases and those that are not free of disease, with trade occurring within each group. However, this is not the case. The major importers of poultry products, China, Japan, and Russia, accept imports from all exporting regions in the model. The two major exporters, the US and Brazil, do not accept imports from each other and also ban imports from China, based on recurrent outbreaks of Newcastle Disease. The EU also bans imports from the US and from China. The...

Differentiated thyroid cancer is the fastest‐growing cancer in women; it increased 2.4% per year during 1980 to 1997 and 6.5% per year during 1997 to 2006 in the USA according to the National Cancer Instituteʹs Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER). On the other hand, the refinement of new approaches for surveillance of patients with an established diagnosis of thyroid cancer is leading to the observation that many patients, previously thought to be cured, have evidence of minimal residual disease, a condition with which we still do not know how to manage properly....

Having spread its power to most parts of Europe, the Christian Church with its headquarters in Rome was by the sixteenth century the most powerful source of political legitimacy and moral authority across the territory ruled by the kings and queens of the day. Through the doctrine of ‘divine right’, the notion that a monarch ruled by the disposition of God, 32 the Christian Church positioned itself at the centre of the political order. This had not always been a comfortable relationship, and the Popes at the head of the...

Currently there is a great deal of interest within the orthopaedic foot and ankle community concerned with treating patients with arthritis of the ankle.

What investors must realise is that despite their intangible nature, the most valuable aspects of real estate assets are those that provide the best possible human outcomes into the future.
