Preliminary conclusions • Security is not a rationale for reducing global
population growth • Local effects more likely due to:
- Local resource management failure - Adaptation failure
• Climate change and security: desperate need for solid research

Competence of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in decision-making regarding
siting, designing and construction of nuclear installations and radioactive waste management
facilities of national significance
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine makes decisions regarding siting, designing and
construction of nuclear installations and radioactive waste management facilities of national
significance by passing a relevant law on siting, designing, and construction of a nuclear
installation or a radioactive waste management facility of national significance.
(...) The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine submits a draft law on siting, designing and construction
of a nuclear installation or a radioactive waste management facility of national significance to
the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Article 3. (...) Procedure of expanding existing nuclear installations and radioactive waste
management facilities of national significance
A decision to expand existing nuclear installations and radioactive waste management
facilities of national significance, if the expansion is necessitated by the construction of reactors
or storage facilities (except for interim storage facilities within the industrial site of a nuclear
installation) not governed by this Law, shall be approved according to the same procedure as the
approval of siting, designing and construction of nuclear installations and radioactive waste
management facilities of national significance.

Significance bits are those bits indicating whether a given residual coefficient has already become significant, i.e. whether its most significant bit (MSB) has already shown up in the enhancement layer. (...) If the current bit is 1, then the significance state of the related coefficient switches from insignificant (0) to significant (1), thus that its significance propagates to the context formation of coefficients in future coding decisions. (...) The intermediate variables h and v used for computation of sign contexts are generated according to the formulas given in Fig. 12, where the meaning of these operations is as follows:
h = (1
if both significant horizontal neighbours have negative sign or the only significant horizontal neighbour has negative sign
h = 0
if both significant horizontal neighbours have different signs or no horizontal neighbours are significant
h = +1
if both significant horizontal neighbours have positive sign or the only significant horizontal neighbour has positive sign
V = (1
if both significant vertical neighbours have negative sign or the only significant vertical neighbour has negative sign
V = 0
if both significant vertical neighbours have different signs or no vertical neighbours are significant
V = +1
if both significant vertical neighbours have positive sign or the only significant vertical neighbour has positive sign

Results analysis 5.2.1. Most significant business disincentive 5.2.2. Percentage of significance of business disincentives 5.2.3. (...) The disincentives were assessed on a scale of significance from 1: less restrictive to 10: highly restrictive (the scale of significance was reversed)
b. (...) We created three categories of significance: highly significant (7-10), important (5-6), and less important (1-4), the sum of which for every disincentive is 100.
§ We can see that «Negative business environment» and «Inadequate policy towards foreign investment» were assessed as being highly significant by the least number of respondents: only a quarter (1/4) of those responding considering «Negative business environment» to be highly significant, and less than half the respondents (47%) considered «Inadequate policy towards foreign investment» as a highly significant disincentive. § In contrast, «Political and Economic Instability» was assessed by 71% of respondents as Highly Significant and by 23% as Significant; while «Insufficient Legal and Administrative Framework» was considered by 70% of respondents to be highly significant and by 13% to be significant.

Referring to figure below, the principle for bit order is “maintenance of bit significance”. Bits from older vector are more significant than bit from newer vectors. the MSB of the frame goes to MSB of B1 and the LSB of the frame goes to LSB of B5.

For example:
B1 contain 8 most significant bits of V1, MSB of V1 is MSB of B1.
B2 contain 2 Least Significant bits of V2, the more significant of the two in its MSB, and 6 most significant bits of V2, the most significant of them is more significant at B2 also.
B1 Shall be put first to the packet (most significant byte in RTP) and B5 last.
