During the two decades from 1990 to 2010, the Balkans was the only European region to suffer a cruel reversal. On the one hand, it welcomed the transition to a free economy, despite the difficulties it had to overcome. On the other hand, it experienced the merciless reality of war, when it was convulsed by successive waves of various armed confrontations extending over most of its territory. These left severe and far-reaching post-conflict symptoms: a shattered economic and social base; unemployment and poverty bordering on humanitarian crisis; morale broken, infrastructure in ruins. Yet at the same time this fragmented, conflict-ridden region became the theatre of international collaboration of unprecedented quality and scale. With more than 22 donor/sponsor countries and investors, as well as international and multilateral organisations, the total flow of official development assistance and foreign direct investment in the region is estimated at more than 150 billion euro during the period in question. The region is therefore a model of reorganisation, restructuring and economic development. As an integral part of this broader geopolitical and economic scene, Greece is participating economically, in common with other ‘players’, in the ‘rebirth’ and integration of the region into the international community, both directly, by providing official development assistance (ODA) under the Hellenic Plan for the Economic Reconstruction of the Balkans (HPERB), and indirectly, by promoting Greece’s foreign direct investment (FDI) in the region in a variety of ways, mainly through subsidies. Thus, Greece evolved from a long-term ‘net importer’ of investments into an ‘exporter’ focused on the Balkans, where it ranked among the top sources of ODA and FDI. This study approaches the subject holistically, examining the dual nature of Greece’s involvement and analysing the broader economic and geopolitical setting. The dual economic involvement of the Greek State in the Balkans is also examined from a dual perspective within the scope of this doctoral thesis, both from a theoretical and from an empirical point of view, using business strategy models such as PEST, SWOT, VRIO, as well as Porter models of ‘competitive forces’, and the ‘value chain’. This thesis examines the reasons why Greece’s involvement was inevitable; investigates the compatibility between Greece’s involvement and the country’s other commitments within the EU; studies the advisability and usefulness of the endeavour; compares Greece with other countries as a provider of ODA and FDI; analyses and evaluates the HPERB; assesses the role of the Greek State and any encouragement and guidance of FDI through Greek subsidies; and scrutinises the characteristics of Greek FDI, in terms of competitiveness and the links with the parent companies in Greece. This subject is novel in an academic context, because a survey of the bibliography shows that this combined dual line of inquiry has not attracted scientific attention, as the existing studies focus on one or other of the two aspects, not both together. Furthermore, this paper is original in terms of method, firstly because it examines the subject from a new viewpoint, that of business strategy, and secondly because it uses the relevant models in new ways, with new applications. The subject, through the study of what has been achieved, remains ‘topical’ and retains its significance, as guidance to future policy makers and/or investors, especially during the current unfavourable economic situation in Greece, because, apart from any conclusions regarding the impact of Greek economic involvement in the Balkans, foreign markets represent a way out of the Greek recession.

This essay is a case study which looks at interferences types in the mother tongues of two multi-lingual sisters ages 8 and 6 who each speak 5 languages. In addition to typecasting of mistakes, the influence of the predominant language on the mother tongue is shown and the areas of language and the most significant deformations are defined. The question of whether a multi-identity emerges through multi-lingualism is answered with a resounding no, and the lingual identity of children is defined as a hybrid. [less ▲]

The thesis is devoted to research of theoretical foundations, international and domestic trends of environmental taxation from the perspective of its use to reduce the excessive burden of economic activity on environment. It was developed the theoretical approaches to the study of the essence and public purpose of environmental taxation as a method of reducing the excessive burden on the environment. The features of the essential characteristics of environmental taxes were determined and include: the prevailing regulatory function on fiscal one; focus on harmonization of tax and environmental policies, reducing the tax base; providing commercial attractiveness of innovation and development of „clean” technologies; desirability manifestation of substitution effect; the prevailing of the „polluter pays” principle over paying capacity principle; internalization of negative externalities and minimization of excessive tax burden as a condition of optimal environmental taxes; imperative introducing specific rates of indirect taxes and increasing and reducing of the regulatory potential of environmental taxation depends on determined factors. It was deepened conceptual and categorical apparatus of the theory of taxation by clarifying the definition of „environmental taxes system„ as a combination of taxes and duties (mandatory payments) designed for achieving specific, well-defined environmental objectives which create price incentives for taxpayers to reduce the excessive burden on environment, compensation of environmental damage to society, improving energy and resource efficiency, which ultimately ensures the improvement of the ecological situation and welfare of population. Developed analytical research tool was used for evaluation the effectiveness of environmental taxation, the existing theoretical approaches to its development and implementation in the context of the experience of foreign countries. A structural-functional analysis of the environmental tax was conducted, and it was assessed the efficiency of energy taxes, analyzed the effectiveness of taxes on environmental pollution. That proved that, compared with developed countries, environmental taxes insufficiently perform tasks of catalyzing decoupling ties and unrealized potential of environmental energy taxes, transport taxes, taxes on resources and direct taxes on pollution exists in Ukraine. However, implementation of fiscal potential of environmental taxation should occur in interconnection with the level of purchasing power. It was defined the directions of realization of the energy taxes potential, on pollution of environment and the ways of improving information provision of administration of environmental taxes. The conclusion about expediency of introduction of adjustment coefficients tax rates depending on the environmental limits on pollution was made. It was proved the expediency of narrowing the tax base of environmental tax for focusing the regulatory impact of environmental tax on the strategic targets of environmental policy. The introduction of differentiation of excise tax rates on gas oil in Ukraine was proposed, according to environmental standards that operate in Ukraine. The scheme of inter-institutional communication on information provision of environmental taxes administration was created will shape the fiscal authorities, and tax payer’s history to draw conclusions about the completeness fulfillment of tax obligations.

В настоящее время испытания пьезоконом (CPTu, статическое зондирование с измерением порового давления) часто используются для предварительной оценки структурных и деформационных параметров грунтов. При использовании результатов тестирования пьезоконом стандартные исследования площадки, состоящие из испытаний статическим зондированием (CPT), бурения и лабораторных испытаний, могут быть оптимизированы. Коэффициент консолидации и гидравлическая проводимость (коэффициент фильтрации Кф) – параметры, необходимые для прогнозных оценок осадок во времени, могут быть получены с использованием диссипационных тестов, выполненных пьезоконом (т.е. тесты по рассеиванию порового давления, выполняемые после остановки зондирования). Тест на диссипацию основан на том, что скорость рассеивания избыточного порового давления (воды), возникающего во время вдавливания пьезокона через насыщенные водой глины и илы, зависит от коэффициента фильтрации грунтовой среды. Однако, интерпретация кривых диссипации часто проблематична, поскольку существующие методы анализа предполагают непрерывное снижение порового давления со временем, тогда как фактические кривые диссипации часто демонстрируют нестандартное поведение, интерпретация которого более сложна. В настоящей статье представлен метод интерпретации, который можно использовать для оценки коэффициента фильтрации независимо от формы кривой диссипации. Примеры результатов, полученных с использованием новой методики анализа, сравниваются с результатами, полученными с использованием лабораторных одометрических исследований.
