Competition Law And State Aid For Failing Banks In The Eu And Its Specific Implications For Cee Member States, Virag Blazsek Dec 2016

Competition Law And State Aid For Failing Banks In The Eu And Its Specific Implications For Cee Member States, Virag Blazsek

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The bank bailouts following the global financial crisis of 2008 have been subject to prior approval of the European Commission (EC), the competition authority of the European Union. The EC was reluctant to reject rescue efforts directed at failing banks and so it consistently approved all such requests submitted by Member States. Out of the top twenty European banks, the EC authorized State aid to at least twelve entities. In this context, the paper outlines the gradually changing interpretation of EU State aid rules, the “temporary and extraordinary rules” introduced starting from late 2008, and the extension of the “no-State …

Merger Control In Georgia – National Legislation And Case Law Review, Solomon Menabdishvili Dec 2016

Merger Control In Georgia – National Legislation And Case Law Review, Solomon Menabdishvili

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Georgia has amended its Law on Competition in 2014 in order to fulfil its obligations set out by the Association Agreement with the European Union. Despite further approximations of its laws with those of the EU, some serious flaws remain. Merging parties are obliged to submit a prior notification to the Competition Agency of Georgia if their total turnover exceeds 20 million Georgian lari (GEL) or if the value of their assets exceeds 10 million GEL (7,692,307 EUR). One of the most interesting aspects of the Georgian merger control system rests in what the Competition Agency is authorised to do …

Overview Of Kazakhstani New Anti-Monopoly Regulation, Alexander Korobeinikov

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The main statute governing competition in Kazakhstan is the Entrepreneurial Code, first adopted in October 2015.

Review Of The New Polish Model Of Abstract Control Of Standard Forms Of Agreements Concluded With Consumers, Paulina Korycińska-Rządca

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

The Polish Act of 5 August 2015 amending the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection and certain other acts introduced several changes intended to strengthen consumer protection. Its substantial part concerns the abstract control of standard forms of agreements concluded with consumers. The Amendment Act of 2015 has completely changed the previous model of abstract control of standard forms of agreements concluded with consumers by replacing the court proceedings model with the administrative proceedings model. This article presents an analysis of Polish legal rules on the abstract control of standard forms of agreements concluded with consumers as amended by the …

Shhh …… Silence …… Is Normal In Transnational Higher Education Classrooms, N Arunasalam Dec 2016

Shhh …… Silence …… Is Normal In Transnational Higher Education Classrooms, N Arunasalam

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Internationalisation via partnerships and collaboration appears to be the way forward in western higher education and is also developing fast in Asian countries. One growing area of collaboration is part-time Transnational Higher Education (TNHE) courses where western ‘flying faculty’ academics from ‘exporter’ universities in, for example, the UK or Australia, ‘fly in’ to the Eastern ‘importer’ country to deliver teaching, and then ‘fly back’ to their country and their role in their university after one or two weeks of intense teaching. Such western higher education institutions collaborate mainly with Asian countries where strong cultural factors continue to affect local society. …


Evolutionary View Planning For Optimized Uav Terrain Modeling In A Simulated Environment, Ronald A. Martin, Ivan Rojas, Kevin W. Franke, John Hedengren Dec 2016

Evolutionary View Planning For Optimized Uav Terrain Modeling In A Simulated Environment, Ronald A. Martin, Ivan Rojas, Kevin W. Franke, John Hedengren

Faculty Publications

This work demonstrates the use of genetic algorithms in optimized view planning for 3D reconstruction applications using small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The quality of UAV site models is currently highly dependent on manual pilot operations or grid-based automation solutions. When applied to 3D structures, these approaches can result in gaps in the total coverage or inconsistency in final model resolution. Genetic algorithms can effectively explore the search space to locate image positions that produce high quality models in terms of coverage and accuracy. A fitness function is defined, and optimization parameters are selected through semi-exhaustive search. A novel simulation …
