It should be pointed out, that one of the existing negative points with bad economical and social consequences is the appearance of false and counterfeit securities, documents, notes as well as traveling cards, identity cards and etc. Each year the number of confiscated counterfeit notes is increased on 10%. [Pg.911]

Higher incomes, higher automobile ownership, and a decline in the population and workplaces that can be sciwcd by mass transit has lead to the declining mass transit demand. Criticism of this shift toward the private automobile comes mainly because the individual driver receives the short-term benefits (privacy, comfort, speed, and convenience), while the negative social consequences (air pollution, traffic jams, and resource depletion) are shared by all. Moreover, if people drove less, and drove more-fuel-efficient vehicles, the positive national goal of less dependence on imported oil would be achieved. [Pg.134]

The decision on the selection of measures has to be made by politicians/managers. Scientists can provide transparency for the decision makers by clarifying the current and potential future status of the system, the possible measures and their ecological, economical and social consequences. Scientists should learn the language and the interests of the public, because often information handed over from the scientists/ water managers to the public is perceived not reliable and/or relevant for them, moreover taking into account that public participation is mandatory according to the WFD. It is clear that public participation is important for the implementation of measures and for acceptance, because measures can have an impact on specific interests of the public (see example described in the previous section). [Pg.416]

Social impact assessment can be defined as the process of assessing or estimating the social consequences that are likely to follow from specific policy actions or project development, particularly in the context of appropriate national, state, or provincial environmental policy legislation (Vanclay 2003 Burdge 2004). It includes all social and cultural consequences to human populations of any public or private actions that alter the ways in which people live, work, play, relate to one another, organize to meet their needs, and generally cope as members of society... [Pg.34]

There is something distinctly human about social anxiety. Mark Twain once remarked, Man is the only animal that blushes—or needs to. Although there are other mammalian species with complex social pecking orders, we, as humans, are particularly sensitive to how we are perceived by others. This sensitivity, when marked by a fear of evaluation by others, can become maladaptive. If that fear is transient and leads to little or no avoidance of social interactions, then it is considered normal shyness. However, when the social consequences of that fear become more pronounced, then the diagnosis of social phobia, now more commonly referred to as social anxiety disorder, is warranted. [Pg.159]

As a relatively new diagnostic entity, the treatment of BED is in its infancy. Treatment offerings to date have been predicated on two key observations. First, BED is phenomenologically similar to BN therefore, treatments known to be effective for patients with bulimia will likely benefit those with BED.

In view of these findings, FDA has placed no restriction on the commercial use of milk and meat from cows treated with rBST. In contrast, the European Union has opposed the use of this hormone, thus complicating the trade of dairy products with the United States.

In this context, concerns have been expressed about the safety to humans, animals, and the environment the quality of milk the economic and social consequences in agriculture the climate for research and development, industrial competitiveness, and trade implications. [Pg.426]
