Kazakhstan’s Food Market: Conditions, Problems and Suggested Solutions

"market-based Solutions to Environmental Problems"

There is rapidly growing interest in the use of market-based (MB) instruments in environmental policy. The papers in this session discuss three relatively new areas for such policies: groundwater contamination, nonpoint source surface-water pollution and carbon sequestration. The papers point out the potential for MB policies in these areas, but significant challenges remain. This comment highl...

Necessary Conditions for Solutions to Variational Problems

Ω [F (∇v (x)) + g (x, v (x))] dx with F a convex function defined on RN , it has been conjectured in [2] that the suitable form of the Euler-Lagrange equations satisfied by a solution u should be ∃p(·) ∈ L(Ω), a selection from ∂F (∇u(·)), such that div p(·) = gv(·, u(·)) in the sense of distributions. Equivalently, the condition can be expressed as ∃p(·) ∈ L(Ω) : div p(·) = gv(·, u(·)) and, for...

Paradigms and information systems as an applied discipline - a model-based representation, problems, and suggested solutions

Information Systems Discipline (ISD) is dominated by the two contrary paradigms of design science on the one hand and behavioral science on the other. Apart from that, research results are considered more or less relevant for practice depending on the respective paradigm. Conclusively, research communities following the paradigms are partly incompatible while, due to the notion of relevance for...
