In his essay, the author refers to Jan Tinbergen and distinguishes positive from negative globalisation. Negative globalisation has been happening for the last two decades and is characterized by elimination of borders and bypassing the established regulation. This process hasn't been accompanied by new regulation on a global level. In this way, democratic theory had to face the challenge of po...

This paper reviews recent work examining two topics of economic research vital for invasive species policy—integration and valuation. Integration requires bioeconomic models that blend invasive biology with economic circumstances and the feedback loops between the two systems. Valuation requires nonmarket valuation associated with human and environmental damages posed by invasive species. We ar...

Su~mary. A genetical analysis of variation in finger ridge counts of221 pairs of twins and 80 pairs of opposite sex siblings has been carried out. Negative regression ofDZ and sibling pair variances on pair means suggests the action of non-additive genes or unequal gene frequencies tending to increase finger ridge counts. Negative skewness of the distributions supports this view. While models i...

In this study I first examined whether the cognitive processes (hot versus cold cognition) under‐ lying judgments to traditional moral situations is universal to situations that are morally neutral, and whether individual differences in cognitive ability moderate these judgments. Second, I tested whether it was possible to modify the impact of hot versus cold processing systems on judgment deli...

Real-time media streams that use RTP are, to some degree, resilient against packet losses. Receivers may use the base mechanisms of the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to report packet reception statistics and thus allow a sender to adapt its transmission behavior in the mid-term. This is the sole means for feedback and feedback-based error repair (besides a few codecspecific mechan...

Interval Markov Chains (IMCs) are the base of a classic probabilistic specification theory introduced by Larsen and Jonsson in 1991. They are also a popular abstraction for probabilistic systems. In this paper we study parameter synthesis for a parametric extension of Interval Markov Chains in which the endpoints of intervals may be replaced with parameters. In particular, we propose constructi...

This paper deals with the celebrated chaotic DuÆng equation with external control force. It is shown that Lyapunov's Direct Method in conjunction with recent developments in nonlinear control yields a promising way of engineering chaotic dynamics. Among the three types of feedback controllers introduced in the paper, we particularly emphasize the value of linear feedback strategy in controlling...
