Taxes and the Economy

Taxes and the Economy

This book discusses the impact of taxation on economic growth, employment, investment, consumption and the environment. The public finance literature commonly distinguishes between three major functions of taxation: the traditional function of raising revenue to finance government expenditure; the distributional function as an instrument to alter the distribution of income and wealth amongst households; and the regulatory function that uses taxation at the benefit of stabilization and other economic policies. Especially after the Second World War, OECD countries have increasingly used taxation to achieve a variety of economic and social objectives. Today many governments use the tax system to stimulate economic growth and employment. Fiscal measures also play a role in creating a favourable climate for business investment and to promote a long-term sustainable environmental policy. Currently, in the debate on global warming, the use of tax instruments to tackle climate change is on the top of the international agenda.The authors aim to provide the reader with the necessary empirical information, while at the same time presenting an overview of the latest theory and best practices. In doing so, many relevant policy issues are touched upon. Based on theoretical and empirical studies and practical experiences in OECD countries, the book establishes guidelines for effective tax policy. The book offers tools for tax design in a globalising economy and the world of the internet with increasing tax competition and a growing battle for companies and brains between countries. The book also presents a 'carrot and stick' model to promote clean technologies, reduce pollution and combat climate change. The message from the authors is straightforward: broad, low, simple, and a shift from income to consumption taxation. These principles are illustrated in a concept proposal for a so-called Second Life Tax system.

This monograph sheds new light on pulmonary sensory receptors. Diving into the pulmonary microenvironment, the book focuses on the role of pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) as potential receptors and effectors, able to store and release neurotransmitters. It explores NEBs as potential stem cell niche and highlights the multidisciplinary approach taken to identify and study NEBs, including functional morphological investigation, live cell imaging, genetic models, and laser microdissection combined with gene expression analysis.Complexly organized NEBs are an integral part of the intrapulmonary airway epithelium of all air-breathing vertebrates. For decades a quest has been going on to unravel the functional significance of these intriguing structures that appear to be modified in the course of many pulmonary diseases. The NEB microenvironment (ME) is composed of organoid clusters of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) that are able to store and release neurotransmitters and are closely contacted by extensive nerve terminals, emphasizing a potential receptor/effector role and probable signalling to the central nervous system. PNECs are largely shielded from the airway lumen by a special type of Clara cells, the Clara-like cells, with potential stem cell characteristics. So far, functional studies of the pulmonary NEB ME revealed that PNECs can be activated by various mechanical and chemical stimuli, resulting in a calcium-mediated release of neurotransmitters. In the past decades, a number of publications have exposed NEBs as potential hypoxia sensors. Recent experimental evidence unveiled that the NEB ME is a quiescent stem cell niche in healthy postnatal lungs, and silencing may involve bone morphogenetic protein signalling mediated by vagal afferents. Only an integrated approach that takes all current information into account will be able to explain the full role of the pulmonary NEB ME in health and disease. This highly informative and carefully presented book, provides insights for researchers, PhD students with an interest in (bio)medical and veterinary science, especially in the field of the autonomic innervation of the lung, chemo-and mechanoreceptors

Reinhard Stelter har om nogen været med til at præge udviklingen af coachingfeltet og coaching som samtaledisciplin – både nationalt og internationalt. Han har i mere end 20 år beskæftiget sig med coaching og er ophavsmand til tredje generations coaching®, hvor drivkraften bag er at skifte fra et snævert fokus på præstationsoptimering til at se menneskelig interaktion som fælles meningsskabelse. I denne bog gør han status og ser på, hvordan coachingfeltet har udviklet sig. Han giver sit bud på, hvor coaching som samtaledisciplin er på vej hen, og han forklarer, hvorfor han gerne ser den udvikle sig til transformative dialoger, hvor vi i højere grad viser os som medmennesker, hvor vi ikke bare går op i os selv, men også rækker hånden ud til hinanden for at støtte hinanden til at nå nogle af de drømme, ambitioner og livsønsker, som gør livet værd at leve. I den ånd har han inviteret en perlerække af dygtige fagpersoner til at bidrage med deres perspektiv på coaching og dialoger i fremtiden: Mette Mejlhede, Ole Fogh Kirkeby, Lone Hersted, Pia Søltoft, Jette Ammentorp, Connie Timmermann, Knud Ryom, Camilla Bakkær Simonsen, Marie-Louise Haurum, Randi Dahl Kristensen, Conny Henneberg, Sine Agergaard, Mikael Trolle, Jacob Sønderskov, Michael Skjøt og Stefano De Dominicis. De bevæger sig rundt om og ind i emner som bl.a. protreptik, responsivitet, resonans, økosocialitet, filosofi, karakterdannelse, etik, relationer, familie, sundhedssystemet, teknologi og AI samt hele organiseringen og kvalificeringen af coachingfeltet. Formålet med bogen er at give et bud på coachingfeltets fremtid og at skabe et fundament for dialogpraktikere i livet og arbejdslivet til at kvalificere deres tænkning og praksis og fremadrettet ruste dem til at bevare og udvide deres virkningsfuldhed som refleksionspartnere i forskellige former for transformative samtaler.
Customer-driven Manufacturing

Customer-driven manufacturing is the key concept for the factory of the future. The markets for consumer goods are nowadays marked by an increase in variety, while at the same time showing steadily decreasing product life-cycles. In addition, tailoring the product to the customer's needs is becoming increasingly important in quality improvement. These trends are resulting in production in small batches, driven by customer orders. Customer-driven Manufacturing adopts a design-oriented approach, splitting the realisation of customer-driven manufacturing into three main steps. Firstly, you must understand the primary process of your business. The second step is to analyse and re-design the management and control of the organisation. Finally, the organisation's information system must be analysed and redesigned.

In 2019, it will be 450 years since the death of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/28-1569). To mark this anniversary, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is organising the first ever retrospective of Bruegel's work, while The World of Bruegel will be shown in the Bokrijk Open-Air Museum. The two institutions are joining forces to bring Bruegel's masterpiece The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559) to life. An important key in this respect are the numerous everyday objects that are depicted in the painting. In collaboration with the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam) and the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), the props that Bruegel depicted have been examined and interpreted from a contemporary perspective. The authors allow the objects to speak for themselves, preceded by an introductory essay by curator Sabine Penot of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Just as Bruegel's paintings were 'conversation pieces' in their day, intended to trigger a discussion between guests during dinners, this book presents a three-way conversation about The Fight Between Carnival and Lent through Bruegel realia, in which art history (Katrien Lichtert), historical design (Alexandra van Dongen and Lucinda Timmermans) and literature (Abdelkader Benali) enter into a dialogue. In A Conversation Piece, the authors reveal the humour, symbolism, imagery and hidden stories behind the everyday objects in the painting. The exhibition Pieter Bruegel the Elder will run from 2 October 2018 to 13 January 2019 in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and the exhibition The World of Bruegel will be on display in the Bokrijk Open-Air Museum from 6 April to 20 October 2019.

Dans ce quatrième ouvrage, qui vient s'ajouter aux trois premiers tomes du «Dictionnaire de Logopédie», les auteurs se sont penchés sur un concept dont l'acquisition va sans doute conduire l'enfant à s'élever de plus en plus dans l'abstraction et le raisonnement logique. Le parcours terminologique, qui est le nôtre, met ici en lumière un lexique qui n'est peut-être pas d'emblée attribué aux logopèdes-orthophonistes, même si ceux-ci ont été sollicités très tôt pour venir en aide aux enfants en difficulté d'apprentissage dans le domaine des mathématiques. La recherche en cette matière nous a permis de découvrir un monde où la linguistique côtoie le cognitif et l'épouse, donnant ainsi naissance à un langage du raisonnement dont il faut comprendre les tenants et les aboutissants, si l'on veut espérer pouvoir aider l'enfant dans sa découverte des mathématiques. Notre réflexion suit un parcours génétique du raisonnement logico-mathématique et tente de montrer combien l'acquisition du nombre est, en effet, une lente et longue construction dont les fondations s'appuient sur les premières expériences sensori-motrices du nourrisson. La cheville ouvrière de cette construction, sans doute infinie, est ce que Jean Piaget appelle, tout au long de son oeuvre, la «fonction symbolique». Source vive de la représentation et de l'abstraction, elle alimente l'ensemble des capacités cognitives, contribuant ainsi à l'essor des mots et des nombres.

Volume 45 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains eight reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with neuro­ peptides as native immune modulators, with Calmodulin and with effects of cell stimuli and drugs on cellular activation, with recent advances in benzodiazepine receptor binding studies, with the medicinal chemistry and therapeutic potentials of ligands of the histamine H3 receptor, with Serotonin uptake inhibitors, with computer-aided drug design, with natri­ uretic hormones and with the recent developments in the chemotherapy of osteoporosis. In the 36 years that PDR has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valu­ able help and advice of many colleagues. Readers, the authors of the reviews and, last but not least, the reviewers have all contributed greatly to the success of this series. Although the comments received so far have generally been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze and to reassess the current position and the future direction of such a series of monographs. So far, it has been the Editor's intention to help disseminate information on the vast domain of drug research, and to provide the reader with a tool with which to keep abreast of the latest developments and trends. The reviews in PDR are useful to the nonspecialist, who can obtain an overview of a particular field of drug research in a relatively short time.
