The life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) is used to assess the results of the LCA and evaluate the impact on the environment in the various impact categories. These impact categories include, for example, human health, GWP, energy, water use, eutrophication, ozone depletion, aquatic toxicity, and land use (ISO, 2006b). LCA may focus on one or more impact categories. The results may be normalized, weighted, and aggregated in optional steps of the LCIA for comparison to political objectives, for example. In addition, sensitivity analyses are often conducted over the entire LCA to evaluate the variation in the results due to selected factors. 

Looking back at an earlier era s race consciousness from the vantage point of the 1940s, Ruth Benedict wrote, In all the American racist volumes there was an immediate political objective revision of the immigration laws. The American temper had changed since the days when our motto was No distinction of race, creed, or color and we offered an asylum for the oppressed. 91 And when, we ought to ask, was thatf At the time that... 

At the beginning of this chapter two primary political objectives for a manager were specified linking in to the organization s decision-making processes, and enlisting the organization s staff and resources in your projects and causes. 

Sediments can be relocated within water bodies only if they meet certain quality requirements. In Europe, this is known as the eco-political objective. However, a generally accepted concept to adequately define sediment quality criteria is still lacking, because effects-based scientific knowledge still needs to grow to ameliorate management guidelines and regulations. 

The other political objective of 20th-century mental health policy was deinstitutionalisation. The asylums, which had formed the 19th century s segregational response to madness, were costly to run and... 

Christopher Hill, George Mason University I want to ask two quick questions about the political objectives of the program and whether they have been achieved. And the questions are impertinent, but they are highly relevant. In the year 2000 Democratic primary in Michigan, will the United Auto Workers support Bradley or Gore ... 

It is, of course, possible to produce an uneconomic chemical commodity, such as when required under the exigencies of war or with particular political objectives. But to achieve this objective requires artificial inducements such as tax concessions, subsidies, or the economics of an organized economy. 

It became clear, however, that such an approach could only be partially implemented within the political process. Ultimately, the effective compliance factor, i.e. the relation between the allocated allowances and the historical emissions of the base period, played the central role in all of the negotiations. In order to meet the maximum fulfilment factor of 0.97, which constituted the political target, special allocation rules were modified on the one hand (e.g. a reduction of the special allocation for CHP), and the new entrants reserve was reduced on the other hand. Furthermore, the aggregated emission cap for the pilot phase 2005-2007 was increased. Nevertheless, contrary to the stated political objective, the underestimation of the effects of the flexibilisa-tion option finally led, to rise up to a 0.926 of the effective compliance factor for the affected plants. 

Furthermore, the difficulties encountered with using forecasts as a primary basis for allocations in the new Member States can expected to re-emerge in the preparation of the second NAP. Under the current rules, the 2008-2012 NAPs in new Member States would have to rely on forecasts made in 2006 for a period that is two to six years from then, well beyond a reasonable time-span necessary for the predictability that is required when distributing valuable assets. (The outcome of the public consultations on forecasts in Hungary was discussed above in detail.) The proposed total quantities will therefore be based more on the outcome of a political process that decides on the level of emissions that is considered acceptable. It was mentioned before that reducing CO2 emissions is not a primary political objective in countries that are still far from their Kyoto Protocol targets. We should not therefore expect very ambitious proposals. 

Basically the European approach can be described as progress through continuous adaptation of its legislation to the state of the art achieved by the European motor industry. Conversely American Legislation had from the outset been shaped by political objectives such as Senator Musky s 1970 demand that vehicle emissions be reduced by 90% within ten years. 

The elements included in the receivers are the aspects that should be monitored to evaluate the possible impacts of the biorefinery industry in the rural area. In most cases, they are political objectives, of great concern to the local stakeholders. From the monitoring of their evolution over time, the contribution of the industry to the socioeconomic development of the area can be assessed. 

With more neutrons available than in an ordinary reactor, the production of would increase and become greater than the consumption of This may be achieved by extra enrichment of the fuel and removal of the moderator. A fast breeder reactor is then obtained. The advantage of such a reactor is, as already mentioned in section 52.14.2, that both and u are used to produce heat. Up to 60 times more energy can be obtained compared with a conventional reactor [52.17]. There are however many serious political objections to the use of the breeder technology, as plutonium may be used to produce nuclear weapons. 

The Council of the European Union should not be confused with the Council of Europe, which is an international organization of 40 European countries, based in Strasbourg. The Council of the European Union, also known as the Council of Ministers, sets out the political objectives of the European Union and coordinates national policies. Each member state is represented by one minister on the Council, depending on the subject under discussion (e.g. foreign affairs, finance).
