2002-01-01

Matheys on his re-election as President and Dr M. Goossens and Mr M. Vitasse on their election as Vice-Presidents. Outcome of the June Council week The Director-General presented the main results of the meetings of the Council and its committees during the week of 17-21 June. He reported that, following discussion of the final report by the External Review Committee at the various committees, the Council had accepted the ERC's recommendations on the LHC Project and the management of the Organization, expressing the view that the report and the Management's proposals constituted an important step towards resolving the problems identified since the emergence of the LHC funding shortfall in the second half of 2001 and re-establishing an atmosphere of trust. The extra costs for the LHC Project would be covered by a balanced packa...

Meeting of the Pension Fund Governing Board
HR Department
2009-01-01
Reminder Given the current state of the financial markets and the continuing uncertainty as to their future evolution, we begin by reiterating the introductory statement of the last report from the Pension Fund: "The CERN pension scheme is based on the principle of defined benefits, so beneficiaries continue to receive the benefits to which they are entitled in accordance with the Rules of the Pension Fund. This means that pension entitlements under the Rules are not directly affected by the financial crisis and the current economic situation. However, the adjustment of pensions to the cost of living is not automatic and, under the method applied since 2006, must take into account the Fund’s financial position." Meeting of the Pension Fund Governing Board (PFGB) The PFGB held its ninth and tenth meetings on 1st December 2008 and 11 February 2009 respectively. At the ninth meeting, the Governing Board bade farewell to P. Lambert, who had been an expert member since November 2007 and a membe...

Management Board meeting of 2nd October 2003
2003-01-01
In the absence of the Director-General, the meeting was chaired by R. Cashmore, Deputy Director-General and Director for Collider Programmes. Status Report on Earned Value Management (EVM) J. Ferguson, the EVM Project Leader, informed the Management Board that EVM reporting had now entered a steady phase of operation, with few changes needing to be made to the underlying work-unit data. Since the baseline had been set on 1st September, all modifications were being logged and both budget holders and group coordinators were automatically informed of any resulting impact on cost or schedule. 1500 work units were currently active and being reported on. Work on the contract alignment tool was under way with a view to ensuring that all work units were linked with their milestones in the financial database, thus facilitating exploitation of the data by the Finance Division. The first EVM-based status report to the Finance Committee had been presented at the latter's September meeting, based on the data available as...

1st Roman Young Researchers Meeting Proceedings
Cannuccia, E; Pietrobon, D; Stellato, F; Veneziani, M
2009-01-01
During the last few decades scientists have been able to test the bases of the physics paradigms, where the quantum mechanics has to match the cosmological scales. Between the extremes of this scenario, biological phenomena and their complexity take place, challenging the laws we observe in the atomic and sub-atomic world. In order to explore the details of this world, new huge experimental facilities are under construction. These projects involve people coming from several countries and give physicists the opportunity to work together with chemists, biologists and other scientists. The Roman Young Researchers Meeting is a conference, organised by Ph. D. students and young postdocs connected to the Roman area. It is aimed primarily at graduate students and post-docs, working in physics. The 1st conference has been held on the 21st of July 2009 at the University of Roma Tor Vergata. It was organised in three sessions, devoted to Astrophysics and Cosmology, Soft and Condensed Matter Physics and Theoretical and ...

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 29th AUGUST 2002
2002-01-01
'Morges III' Manpower Planning Review The Director-General announced that at the end of September he would be visiting each division in turn with a view to discussing their projected resources and requirements prior to the CERN-wide manpower planning workshop known as 'Morges III' on 28th and 29th October. To allow the Human Resources Review Board (HRRB) and the Planning Unit to pursue their preparatory work in parallel, divisions were requested to comply with the 1st September deadline for the prioritisation of the specific work packages and services needed to fulfil their respective mandates, with consolidated data for each sector to be submitted to the Chairman of the HRRB, J. van der Boon, by 21st September. Ultimately, the results of the 'Morges III' exercise would serve as the basis for the 2003-2010 staff plan to be presented to the Council in December. Preparation of the September Committee Meetings The Director-General observed that one of the main items on the agenda of the Committee of Council's me...

Are board meetings proactive or reactive to performance?
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
Yi Wang
2008-11-01
Full Text Available The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the intensity of board activity, as represented by board meeting frequency, and firm financial performance, using data from the top 500 Australian companies. Firm performance measures include return on assets, return on equity and shareholder return; several control variables are introduced in the analysis. The results indicate that board meeting frequency has a positive impact on subsequent shareholder return. Regarding the explanatory factors for the level of board activity, it is reported that firms with more board committees tend to have relatively more board and committee meetings; firms with larger boards have less board meetings. In addition, lower managerial ownership leads to more committee meetings.

LHC The machine cooldown was continuing, and if all went well would be completed by 1st June, allowing the first protons to be injected in mid-June. This set June 1st as the working date for closing CMS. The CERN Director General’s New Year presentation to the staff could be found at http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=27271. A Phase I upgrade goal of 2013 for a luminosity of 2 x 1034 had been set. The open days on 5-6 April, and the official inauguration on October 21st had been confirmed. CMS Progress There had been good progress since the last Board meeting, with the Tracker installed and the last heavy elements lowered. Issues of concern were ensuring infrastructure readiness and stability during the cosmics runs with the detector closed and later with beam, the ECAL endcap schedule and preparations for physics. Task forces had been set up for infrastructure and the ECAL. The present goal was to have the cosmics run at full field starting in late May, with one ECAL end-cap a...

Meeting of the ITER CTA Project Board
International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
2001-01-01
Full text: A preparatory meeting of the Co-ordinated Technical Activities (CTA) Project Board took place in Vienna on 16 July 2001. The Board Members of Canada, EU, Japan, RF and of the CTA International Team participated in the Meeting, which was chaired by Acad. E. Velikhov. The major item on the Meeting Agenda was the discussion of the scope of the CTA. In this discussion the following comments were expressed: One of the prime objectives during the CTA is to develop technical specifications for procurement of critical items (magnets, vacuum vessel, and buildings). It was noted that the discussions with potential suppliers should confirm manufacturing processes in details in order to explore possible schedule reduction strategies. Safety analysis and licensing preparation should proceed on all proposed sites up to the preferred site designation, to ensure the overall implementation schedule is minimized and to resolve major technical issues needed for licensing. Several R and D issues remain to be further developed during the CTA. Special attention should be given by the Participants to two areas: Diagnostics; Heating and Current Drive Systems. Arrangements for continuation of the ITER Physics Expert Groups activities should be provided. To this end a new framework, called International Tokamak Physics Activity, is being planned. The Board encouraged the Participants' Representatives in the Co-ordinating committee of this activity to support the preparation for urgent Topical Group Meetings. The Board agreed that the Design Authority will be invested in the International Team and that proposals for site specific design changes should be agreed upon by the International Team Leader before being studied in detail. The Meeting agreed on some arrangements which will remain from the EDA, namely the ITER EDA Council Office in Moscow as Office of the PB Chair, and the ITER Office located at the IAEA in Vienna as agreed by the IAEA. The Board recommended that effective

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 21st NOVEMBER 2002
2002-01-01
Outcome of the Finance Committee Meeting on 6th November 2002 The Director-General reported that, at its November meeting, the Finance Committee had discussed various elements of the 2003-2010 long-term plan, of which he had presented an oral preview prior to submission of the final version for approval in December. In that context, the Committee had examined a proposal on the indexation of the expenditure budget during the LHC construction period, expressing general support for the approach presented, as well as information on the use of LHC contingency. It had also taken note of the proposed arrangements for the loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), recommending their approval by Council in December on the understanding that signature of the relevant agreement would be subject to approval of the long-term plan at the same Council session. In addition, the Finance Committee had recommended the Council to apply the 2003 cost-variation index, including the calculated salary adjustment index of 1.2%, an...

143rd and 144th meetings of the Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2006-01-01
During the meeting, the Board also approved a document setting out its position on the CERN debt to the Pension Fund, which would be submitted to the Finance Committee and Council in June. It underlined that the reimbursement of the debt would be advantageous for the Fund as well as for the Laboratory and that it would reduce the Fund's dependence on the employer, in line with international accounting practices. The second of the two meetings was essentially devoted to examining the actuary's report on the Fund's position with respect to its actuarial commitments as at 1st January 2006. The report, the first of its kind, follows the Board's decision to commission actuarial studies to check the Fund's position in open fund terms between three-yearly actuarial reviews. Based on the Fund's position as at the end of 2005 and taking account of the Council's decisions in December 2005, it reveals a net improvement in the Fund's long-term (30-year) financial balance. However, the actuary states in the conclusions t...

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2004-01-01
The Governing Board held its 120th and 121st meetings on 4 November and 2 December 2003 respectively. At the first of these two meetings, the Board first continued its examination of ESO's requests. In connection to this, the Board heard a presentation of the requests by M. Bloch, ESO's Head of Personnel, including a proposal that ESO's contributions and benefits to its beneficiaries be paid in euros. This option had previously been examined by the Working Group on ESO's Requests which had submitted a negative opinion to the Governing Board. Mr Bloch informed the Board that ESO was suspending that request and therefore invited the Governing Board to concentrate on the other options. After some discussion, the Governing Board decided that the euro-based request should be deemed withdrawn and that the Working Group would resume its examination of the other options put forward by ESO at the beginning of the year. At the same meeting, J.-P. Matheys reported on the recent meeting of the Working Group on Actuarial...

Governing board of the pension fund
2003-01-01
On 4 February 2003 the Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its hundred and fourteenth meeting, the first meeting to be attended by G. de la Fuente and M. Goossens, recently elected as Alternates to I. Seis and J.-P. Matheys respectively. Opening the meeting, J. Bezemer, Chairman of the Governing Board with effect from 1st January 2003, paid tribute to the outgoing Chairman, P. Levaux, on behalf of all members of the Governing Board, underlining the skill, clarity of vision and unfailing commitment to the Fund that had marked the twelve years of a remarkable chairmanship. Over that time Paul Levaux had successfully guided the Fund towards the broader-based, dynamic scheme it had now become, and towards a central role within the Organization. The special guest at the meeting, CERN Director-General L. Maiani, also warmly thanked the former Chairman for his remarkable work for the Fund on behalf of the Organization to which he had made so many contributions and for the invaluable role he had played in promot...

MATTERS PRESENTED AT THE JOINT BOARDS MEETING
T. Virdee
CMS Organisation (T. Virdee) The Management Board endorsed J. Incandela as Deputy Physics Coordinator; he would move to CERN in the middle of 2007. The Board also took note of the Level-2 Convenors in Computing, Offline Software and Physics. Suggestions for the unfilled positions were still welcome. It was urgent to appoint a Database Coordinator. In the cases where only one Level-2 coordinator was being nominated the second would be nominated in 9 months. It was stressed that the SLHC working group must do real simulations to address questions about the machine design. The Management Board took note of the proposal to formally assign Mentors to Physics and analysis groups, of the nominations of the Convenors of the Detector Performance Groups and recommended that the Trigger Coordinator be appointed soon. Discussion on Technical Recommendations (A. Ball) The Board was reminded of the conclusions presented at the Joint Boards meeting.

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 25 APRIL 2002
2002-01-01
Death of a Former CERN Director-General The Director-General informed the Management Board that Victor Weisskopf, Director-General of CERN from 1961-1965, had died in New York on Sunday, 21 April at the age of 93. Fiftieth Anniversary of the Provisional Establishment of CERN The Director-General observed that 2002 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the 1952 agreement establishing a provisional European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN), which had been signed at the second session of an Inter-Governmental Meeting held in Geneva on 15 February that year. The 'provisional CERN' had been dissolved on 29 September 1954, when Member States had ratified the Convention formally establishing the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Later in the year it would be appropriate to start to discuss plans for an event to mark CERN's official fiftieth anniversary in September 2004. Outcome of the Recent Meetings of the Resources Review Boards R. Cashmore, Director for Collider Programmes, briefly reported on the outc...

Board meeting frequency and corporate social responsibility (CSR reporting: Evidence from Malaysia
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
Nurulyasmin Binti Ju Ahmad
2017-05-01
Full Text Available This study aims at determining the effectiveness of board meeting frequency on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR reporting by public listed companies on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. A CSR reporting index consisting of 51 items was developed based on six themes: General, Community, Environment, Human Resource, Marketplace and Other. A content analysis was used to determine the extent of CSR reporting. An Ordinary Least Square (OLS regression was employed in determining the association between board meeting frequency and CSR reporting. The finding of the study is that advising tendency (frequency of board meetings is not associated with CSR reporting. Overall this study strengthens the idea that advising tendency of the board is essential to companies in order to safeguard all stakeholders’ interests. Accordingly, regulators and policymakers should be more stringent in monitoring company’s conformance towards regulations. This study provides a new avenue of knowledge and contributes to the literature on the practices of the board of directors and corporate social responsibility reporting in the context of a semi-developed country

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 24 OCTOBER 2002
2002-01-01
Outcome of the Meeting of TREF on 23 October 2002 The Director of Administration, J. van der Boon, reported that at its meeting the previous day the Tripartite Employment Conditions Forum (TREF) had examined an information document on the adjustment of the scale of basic salaries for 2003 and a proposal for the 2003 adjustment of pensions. It had taken note that, in accordance with the revised formula adopted during the last five-yearly review, the calculated salary index applicable with effect from 1st January 2003 amounted to 1.2%, taking account of the Geneva cost-of-living movement for the twelve-month period beginning August 2001 and of the average movements of real net salaries of the Swiss Federal civil servants and the civil servants of nine other Member States from June 2001 to June 2002. Given that the majority of TREF members had been in favour of applying the calculated 1.2% salary adjustment index, a formal proposal to that effect would be submitted to the Finance Committee in November in the fra...

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2004-01-01
At its one-hundred-and-twenty-fifth meeting on 1st June 2004, the Governing Board of the Pension Fund heard a report by J.-P. Matheys, Chairman of the working group responsible for examining the consequences of the death of a beneficiary of a deferred pension and of changes to the composition of a beneficiary's family, on the group's second meeting which had taken place that morning. The group had concluded that the Pension Fund Rules and Regulations clearly established the right of a surviving spouse to a pension in the event of the death of a beneficiary of a deferred pension. In such a case, entitlement to a surviving spouse's pension takes effect immediately after the death of the beneficiary and no actuarial reduction is applicable. This conclusion, which has been confirmed by the Legal Service, derives clearly and unambiguously from the current Rules and Regulations, which therefore do not require amendment. The Board indicated its formal agreement with this interpretation. Concerning the second subj...

The new provisions will enter into force on 1st July 2006. Professor Ferrini also underlined that the Finance Committee had taken note of a document prepared by the CERN Management regarding the Organization's debt to the Pension Fund. Given that the Organization's debt to the Pension Fund has grown constantly over the last twenty years, and that it represents a burden on the Laboratory's future budgets, the Management wishes to reimburse the debt as rapidly as possible...

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 4TH DECEMBER 2003
2003-01-01
Status Report on Earned Value Management (EVM) J. Ferguson, the EVM Project Leader, stated that, from 1st September to 1st December, i.e. the period covered by the EVM status report to be presented to the Finance Committee at its forthcoming meeting, over 2800 of the 10,700 or so work units had been active and about 420 had been completed, bringing the total number of completed work units to more than 3100. Earned Value had risen by some 132 MCHF, with Cost Variance increasing from a favourable 15 MCHF to 28 MCHF, mainly due to the time lag between the recording of earned value and the execution of payments; Schedule Variance had increased from an unfavourable -117 MCHF to -168 MCHF, essentially due to delays in the delivery of important components. In the coming months, all major contracts would be adjusted to ensure a better matching between probable delivery dates and reality. On the development side, the EVM team was continuing to focus its efforts on the contract maintenance functional...

The Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2007-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its 151st meeting on 7 March at which the Legal Service reported on the ILOAT's judgment concerning an appeal lodged by a beneficiary against the CERN Council's decision to index his pension by 0% for 2005. The Governing Board noted with satisfaction that the appeal had been rejected. The ILOAT recognised that the CERN Council, which had followed the Governing Board's recommendation, had been entitled to take this decision as an 'urgent protective measure' in respect of the Fund's financial position. At the same meeting, the members of the Governing Board expressed their opinions on the report by the consultancy firm Mercer which had been entrusted with the task of comparing the CERN Pension Fund with a sample of similar European funds. It endorsed the CERN Management's opinion that Mercer had not been in a position to make a pertinent comparison between the CERN Pension Fund and other pension funds, and concurred with the conclusions presented by the Management....

The Management Board's meeting on 8 November 2001 was essentially convened to review the meeting of the Finance Committee on 6 and 7 November and to examine the financial and organisational measures needed to resolve the present budget difficulties associated with the increase in the LHC materials cost announced in September. The Director-General reported that, following the Management's submission of the preliminary results of the LHC cost-to-completion review in September, revealing a final materials cost some 20% higher than originally estimated in 1996, the first day of the Finance Committee's November meeting had been devoted to a presentation of updated cost-to-completion estimates, based on a detailed review of all LHC system and sub-system components, and to the examination of initial funding scenarios and organisational measures for the remaining period of LHC construction (2002-2006) and the first years of operation (2006-2012). The Committee had taken note that the Management would provide more pre...

Full Text Available Agitation is a heterogeneous concept without a uniformly accepted definition, however, it is generally considered as a state of cognitive and motor hyperactivity characterized by excessive or inappropriate motor or verbal activity with marked emotional arousal. Not only the definition but also other aspects of agitated patients’ care are still unsolved and need consensus and improvement. To help the discussion about agitation among experts and improve the identification, management, and treatment of agitation, the 1st International Experts’ Meeting on Agitation was held in October 2016 in Madrid. It was attended by 20 experts from Europe and Latin America with broad experience in the clinical management of agitated patients. The present document summarizes the key conclusions of this meeting and highlights the need for an updated protocol of agitation management and treatment, the promotion of education and training among healthcare professionals to improve the care of these patients and the necessity to generate clinical data of agitated episodes.

For information MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 26 OCTOBER 2000
2000-01-01
Report on LEP running The Director-General recalled that on 14 September, on the proposal of the LEP Experiments Committee (LEPC), the Management had decided to continue the LEP experimental run for one month beyond the scheduled final shutdown following the observance by ALEPH in late August of candidate Higgs events at a mass of around 114 GeV. The data collected by the four experimental collaborations during the extended period of operation, due to end on 2 November, would be presented at a special LEP seminar and to the LEPC on 3 November. S. Myers, Leader of SL Division, informed the Management Board that, in spite of some recent disruption in running caused by technical problems mostly in the SPS electricity distribution network, LEP was presently on course to meet the integrated luminosity target of between 130 and 140 pb-1 set by the Research Board in order to double the available statistics. Stating that the Management would examine the conclusions to be drawn from the extended run in the light of th...

MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 19th FEBRUARY 2003
2003-01-01
Status of Earned Value Management (EVM) In his capacity as EVM Project Leader, J. Ferguson, Leader of AS Division, announced that significant progress had been made since his last status report to the Management Board the previous month and that the measures adopted in early January to accelerate completion of the current EVM data collection phase had now been applied to 16 of the 23 groups concerned. As a result, a large fraction of the materials and industrial services resources for the LHC machine had now been incorporated in the system for those groups, while the data for the final seven groups should be collected in the coming weeks in accordance with the ambitious but feasible schedule announced at the Board's January meeting. He was therefore cautiously optimistic that the end-of-March/early April deadline for completing that stage of the EVM preparations would be met. The period from April to June would then see intensive efforts to fine-tune the data and ensure consistent reporting across all the gro...

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2004-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its one-hundred-and-twenty-seventh meeting on 4, 5 and 6 October. During the meeting, the Governing Board heard a report by the actuary on the Actuarial Review as at 1 January 2004. The Governing Board then examined the conclusions to be drawn and the action to be taken as a result of the Review. During its first half-day meeting the Board heard a report on the meetings of the CERN Finance Committee and Council on 15 and 16 September. As a result, the Board asked its Chairman to consult the President of the CERN Council in order to find out about the terms of reference and the composition of the working group on pensions set up by the Council. Next the Board examined a request for compensation to the Fund for the reduction in active members between 2001 and 2003. It was the third such request which the Governing Board would be making to the CERN Council following the latter's 1995 decision to reduce staff numbers. The request related to the previous three years (...

Procedure for inscription in the list of speakers at meetings of the Board of Governors
International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
2002-01-01
Full text: 1. By Rule 23 (d) of the Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Board of Governors:' No Governor may address the Board without having previously obtained the permission of the presiding officer. The presiding officer shall call upon speakers in the order in which they signify their desire to speak. The presiding officer may call a speaker to order if his remarks are not relevant to the subject under discussion.' The following procedures are applied generally concerning the implementation of Rule 23. 2. Governors or other members of delegations who wish to speak on an item notify the Secretary of the Board of their intention to speak. A Secretariat staff member will also be present on the podium in the Boardroom each day from 9:30 a.m. until the Board meeting commences, to receive requests from delegations to be added to the list of speakers. After the meeting commences delegates wishing to speak should raise their flag to be recognized by the Secretary of the Board. The names of delegations are inscribed on a single list of speakers, maintained by the Secretary of the Board, in the order in which they have signified their wish to speak. e. It may be noted that, in the course of debate on a particular item, delegations may signify an intention to speak more than once, including speaking in response to issues raised by other delegations during the debate. When two or more delegations simultaneously indicate from the floor an intention to speak, their names are inscribed in the order in which they are brought to the attention of the Secretary. 4. The established practice is to first call on delegations wishing to speak on behalf of regional groups on any specific item, followed by individual delegations, in the order in which their names are inscribed on the list of speakers. 5. Member States will appreciate that these guidelines cannot cover all contingencies and that special cases may arise from time to time. The Chairman will exercise flexibility where

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
HR Department
2008-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund (PFGB) held its third meeting in its new composition on 18 February 2008. At this meeting, the PFGB decided to submit to CERN’s governing bodies the actuarial review as at 1st January 2007, together with an explanatory note relating, in particular, to the trends since the previous review and the recommendations. In the latter regard, the PFGB decided to support the actuary’s recommendation to increase contributions by 0.76% in order to maintain, at the end of the 30-year projection period, the same funding ratio as at the beginning of the period, in accordance with a decision taken by the CERN Council in 2002. In its explanatory note, the PFGB also made it clear to the governing bodies that it considers a comprehensive revision of the approach used for actuarial reviews to be essential in the context of the review of the Fund’s funding policy and principles. In particular, the PFGB advocated the creation of an asset fluctuation r...

An Innovative Approach to Pharmacy Law Education Utilizing a Mock Board of Pharmacy Meeting
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
D. Todd Bess
2016-03-01
Full Text Available A thorough understanding of pharmacy law by students is important in the molding of future pharmacy practitioners, but a standardized template for the best way to educate students in this area has not been created. A mock Board of Pharmacy meeting was designed and incorporated into the Pharmacy Law course at the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy. Students acted as Board of Pharmacy members and utilized technology to decide outcomes of cases and requests addressed in a typical 2 day Tennessee Board of Pharmacy meeting. The actual responses to those cases, as well as similar cases and requests addressed over a 5 year period, were revealed to students after they made motions on mock scenarios. The mock Board of Pharmacy meeting engages the students in a way that lectures alone often fail to achieve with some initial evidence of successful student learning. Utilizing this teaching format as a law education tool challenges the status quo of pharmacy education and may serve as an impetus and catalyst for future innovations.

Environmental cleanup issues at federal sites are more often than not on the agendas of meetings of the Site Specific Advisory Boards (SSABs), also called Citizens Advisory Boards (CABs), that exist at most U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites with an Environmental Management (EM) mission. In 1994, when Congress established these committees comprised of local citizens, it enabled community stakeholders to become more directly involved in DOE EM cleanup decisions. This involvement is to help the agency make cost-effective and environmentally sound decisions which lead to faster, safer cleanups. Eight local Boards that fall under the Federal Advisory Committee Act-chartered EM SSAB charter are found in Hanford, Washington; Idaho; Northern New Mexico; Nevada; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Paducah, Kentucky; Portsmouth, Ohio; and at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. These boards provide advice and recommendations about EM site-specific issues such as cleanup standards (how clean is clean?), environmental restoration, waste management, the stabilization and disposal of non-stockpile nuclear materials, future land use and long-term stewardship, risk assessment and management, and cleanup science and technology activities. These issues are, by their very nature, loaded with complicated technical terms and strategies, scientific data and interpretations, and long histories of studies and reports. The members of SSABs and CABs rotate on and off the Boards according to defined terms of office, thereby routinely opening the Boards' ranks to new members, many of whom are new to the issues. In addition, members of the public who have access to public comment periods at each Board meeting run up against the same daunting menu of obscure acronyms, scientific terms and notations, and an historical trail which is not always evident except to those involved with the issues over many years. How does a facilitator effectively guide such a group of citizens, each of whom arrives to

For information MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 26 APRIL 2001
2001-01-01
The Management Board's meeting on 26 April was essentially devoted to discussion of the Organization's medium-term plan, to be set out in the document 'Scientific Activities of CERN and Budget Estimates for the Years 2002-2005' and presented to the Council and its committees for approval in June, after submission of a preliminary draft to the Scientific Policy Committee (SPC) at its meeting on 7 May. The Director-General reviewed the main changes with respect to last year's plan and indicated that the document would take into account a number of significant developments over the past twelve months, which had enabled the Management to build up a much clearer picture of the Laboratory's medium-term future. These included the final closure of LEP, the completion of the Five-Yearly Remuneration Review, the elaboration of a LHC final machine and detector commissioning schedule, and, more recently, the completion of the LHC Computing Review. The conclusions and recommendations of the latter review would be presente...

Health care is a business. Health care providers must become familiar with terms such as opportunity costs, the potential loss or gain when one choice is made in lieu of another. The purpose of this study was to calculate the opportunity cost of two orthopaedic surgery society board meetings and discuss these in the context of behavioral economics and regret. A literature search was conducted to determine an orthopaedic surgeon's average yearly salary, hours worked per week, and weeks worked per year. The details of two orthopaedic surgery professional society meetings that one senior author (CSR) attended were used to calculate opportunity cost. Although the true benefits are multifactorial and difficult to objectively quantify, awareness of the cost-benefit ratio can help guide time and resource management to maximize the return on investment while minimizing buyer's remorse and perhaps influence the media by which medical meetings are held in the future.

For information MANAGEMENT BOARD MEETING OF 7 DECEMBER 2000
2000-01-01
Report on the 2000-2001 Shutdown Activities S. Myers, Leader of SL Division, reviewed the status of the LEP shutdown programme and the main modifications to be made to the SPS during the 2000-2001 winter shutdown beginning 20 November in preparation for future LHC activities. Presenting the 2001 SPS schedule approved by the Research Board on 23 November, which provided for a proton run starting on 12 July, he stressed that meeting the planned completion dates for the upgrades and alterations to the various buildings and equipment concerned was critical to avoid any delays in SPS physics in 2001. In that context, it was hoped that the present delay in the civil engineering for the water-cooling tower at Point 1 could be offset later on during the cooling and ventilation work phase. Following the Directorate's decision on 8 November not to extend LEP physics into 2001, work on the LEP shutdown was now well under way, with several zones currently in the process of being made safe and dismantling occurring in oth...

21st Nantes Actualités Transplantation: "When Stem Cells Meet Immunology".
Anegon, Ignacio; Nguyen, Tuan Huy
2017-01-01
"When Stem Cells Meet Immunology" has been the topic of the 21st annual "Nantes Actualités en Transplantation" meeting (June 9-10, 2016, Nantes, France). This meeting brought together pioneers and leading experts in the fields of stem cells, biomaterials and immunoregulation. Presentations covered multipotent (mesenchymal and hematopoietic) and pluripotent stem cells (embryonic and induced) for regenerative medicine of incurable diseases, immunotherapy and blood transfusions. An additional focus had been immune rejections and responses of allogeneic or autologous stem cells. Conversely, stem cells are also able to directly modulate the immune response through the production of immunoregulatory molecules. Moreover, stem cells may also provide an unlimited source of immune cells (DCs, NK cells, B cells, and T cells) that can operate as "super" immune cells, for example, through genetic engineering with chimeric antigen receptors.This meeting report puts presentations into an overall context highlighting new potential biomarkers for potency prediction of mesenchymal stem cell-derived and pluripotent stem cell-derived multicellular organoids. Finally, we propose future directions arising from the flourishing encounter of stem cell and immune biology.

2000-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its ninety-first meeting on 1st February 2000. A special morning session was devoted to questions concerning the asset allocation of pension funds. This subject was presented by J.-F. Boulier, research and management director at Sinopia in Paris, a subsidiary of the Crédit Commercial de France. Mr Boulier first presented the general context surrounding pension funds in Europe. He underlined the significant differences between the various European countries in the development of pension funds and their effects on the financial markets. He also addressed the long-term profitability of the different types of investment and, in the same connection, the essential role played by the time horizon inequity investments in not only achieving a positive real return but also exceeding the results of the other forms of investment. The last part of his presentation covered management strategies and the impact of an improvement in performance on the technical balance o...

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2007-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its penultimate (158th) and final (159th) meetings in its current form on 24 September and 25 October 2007 respectively. A number of items, notably the triennial actuarial review and the Fund's Budget for 2008, appeared on the agenda of both meetings. The Governing Board took note of the Fund's financial position as at 30 June 2007 on the basis of the intermediate closing of the accounts on that date. In the first half of 2007, the Fund had achieved a satisfactory return on its assets compared with the position on 1 January 2007. Regarding the indexation of pensions, at the second of its two meetings, the Governing Board took note of the inflation rate in Geneva between August 2006 and August 2007 - no rise was observed in the cost-of-living during the period under consideration. As a consequence, the adjustment rate for the forthcoming three-year period, calculated by the Actuary pursuant to Article II 1.15 – Anne...

The year 2012 is already rich in highlights for the Pension Fund Governing Board (PFGB)
2012-01-01
In this new column, the Chairman of the Pension Fund Governing Board (PFGB) will regularly present the latest main decisions, initiatives and accomplishments of the Governing Board to the members and beneficiaries of the Fund. At the start of the year, the PFGB examined the question of the contribution rate for new members joining the Fund after 1st January 2012. The PFGB confirmed that, on the basis of the independent expert's calculations, the proposed total contribution rate of 31.6% for new members is sufficient to finance their pension promise. The proposed new contribution rate was subsequently approved by the Council at its March 2012 meeting. The PFGB has also approved the assumptions to be used in the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Fund for the year 2011. The assumptions for longevity will reflect the latest Swiss publicly available longevity tables (see here). The investment return assumption will continue to reflect the objective set by the Council, w...

The Problem: Low-Achieving Districts and Low-Performing Boards
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
David E. Lee
2014-10-01
Full Text Available Effective school districts maintain superintendent and school board collegiality which can foster success and connectedness among members. Delagardelle and Alsbury (2008 found that superintendents and board members are not consistent in their perceptions about the work the board does, and Glass (2007 found that states do not require boards to undergo evaluation for effectiveness. In the current study, 115 board meetings were observed using the School Board Video Project (SBVP survey, which was created in 2012 by researchers to uncover school board meetings’ effectiveness. MANOVA, Univariate ANOVA, and Pearson Chi-Square test results revealed significant differences between low-, medium-, and high-performing districts’ school board meetings. Evidence indicated that low-performing districts’ board meetings were: less orderly; had less time spent on student achievement; lacked respectful and attentive engagement across speakers; had board meeting members who seemed to advance their own agenda; had less effective working relationships among the governance team; had fewer board members who relied on the superintendent for advice and input; had one member, other than the board president, stand out for taking excessive time during meetings; and did not focus on policy items as much as high- and medium-performing school districts. The research concluded that more school board members from low-performing districts needed training to improve their effectiveness. Furthermore, highly refined and target-enhanced school board training programs might lead to lasting governance success and more effective teaming that could improve district, and ultimately, student achievement.

ACRR fission product release tests: ST-1 and ST-2
International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
Allen, M.D.; Stockman, H.W.; Reil, K.O.; Grimley, A.J.; Camp, W.J.
1988-01-01
Two experiments (ST-1 and ST-2) have been performed in the Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNLA) to obtain time-resolved data on the release of fission products from irradiated fuels under light water reactor (LWR) severe accident conditions. Both experiments were conducted in a highly reducing environment at maximum fuel temperatures of greater than 2400 K. These experiments were designed specifically to investigate the effect of increased total pressure on fission product release; ST-1 was performed at approximately 0.16 MPa and ST-2 was run at 1.9 MPa, whereas other parameters were matched as closely as possible. Release rate data were measured for Cs, I, Ba, Sr, Eu, Te, and U. The release rates were higher than predicted by existing codes for Ba, Sr, Eu, and U. Te release was very low, but Te did not appear to be sequestered by the zircaloy cladding; it was evenly distributed in the fuel. In addition, in posttest analysis a unique fuel morphology (fuel swelling) was observed which may have enhanced fission product release, especially in the high pressure test (ST-2). These data are compared with analytical results from the CORSOR correlation and the VICTORIA computer model

Cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) constitute a family of Phase II detoxification enzymes that are involved in the protection against potentially harmful xenobiotics as well as the regulation and homeostasis of endogenous compounds. Compared with humans and rodents, the zebrafish serves as an excellent model for studying the role of SULTs in the detoxification of environmental pollutants including environmental estrogens. By searching the expressed sequence tag database, two zebrafish cDNAs encoding putative SULTs were identified. Sequence analysis indicated that these two putative zebrafish SULTs belong to the SULT1 gene family. The recombinant form of these two novel zebrafish SULTs, designated SULT1 ST7 and SULT1 ST8, were expressed using the pGEX-2TK glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene fusion system and purified from transformed BL21 (DE3) cells. Purified GST-fusion protein form of SULT1 ST7 and SULT1 ST8 exhibited strong sulfating activities toward environmental estrogens, particularly hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), among various endogenous and xenobiotic compounds tested as substrates. pH-dependence experiments showed that SULT1 ST7 and SULT1 ST8 displayed pH optima at 6.5 and 8.0, respectively. Kinetic parameters of the two enzymes in catalyzing the sulfation of catechin and chlorogenic acid as well as 3-chloro-4-biphenylol were determined. Developmental expression experiments revealed distinct patterns of expression of SULT1 ST7 and SULT1 ST8 during embryonic development and throughout the larval stage onto maturity.

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2000-01-01
Since the last report, the Governing Board has held three meetings, on the 5 September, 4 October and 9 November. At its September meeting, the Board took note of the results of the half-year closure of the accounts on 30 June and examined the expenditure of the Fund's Administration to the end of July and its operating budget for 2001, which it approved. The Chairman of the Investment Committee, G. Maurin, reported on the Committee's activities in regard to the monitoring of the fund managers and their results. After an exchange of views, the Governing Board proposed to the Finance Committee and the Council an adjustment of pensions of 1.4% with effect from 1.1.2001. It took note with satisfaction of the decision of the French tax authorities to consider that CERN's investments in France on behalf of its social security scheme formed part of the official activities of the Organization and as such benefited from exemption from direct local taxes in addition to its exemption from national taxation.

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2001-01-01
The Governing Board held its ninety-eighth meeting on 6 February 2001. On that occasion, it was informed of the problems encountered with its local real-estate property management agency in Geneva. The Administrator reported on the financial difficulties of the agency which had led the Fund, through its management co-ordinator in Paris, to cancel the contract with immediate effect. The emergency measures taken at the end of the year had allowed the tenants to avoid continuing to pay their rents to the agency and had cleared the way for a call for tenders which had led to the appointment of the Moser Vernet & Cie agency with effect on 1st January 2001. In order to minimise the risk of loss as far as possible and to explore all possible ways in which CERN could claim its rights, an emergency committee has been set up consisting of members of the CERN Legal Service, the two Vice-presidents and the Administrator with the task of determining all possible legal action and steps that could be taken with the ...

2006-01-01
The Governing Board held its 146th and 147th meetings on 19 September and 1 November 2006 respectively. At the first of these two meetings, a technical amendment to the Rules of the Fund was discussed regarding the annual adjustment of pensions. The Governing Board made a proposal, which was approved by the CERN Council at its meeting on 19 October 2006, to make an amendment to Article II 1.15 of the Pension Fund's Rules (see below). As a result, in future years, as long as the funding ratio of the Pension Fund is below 100 %, only a fraction of the observed inflation will be granted, so that the funding ratio reaches 100 % by the end of 2033. The cumulated loss in purchasing power incurred by any beneficiary shall be limited to 8 % maximum (including, for those concerned, the 1.7 % loss as at 1 January 2005). The parameters of this mechanism shall be reviewed after each actuarial review, to take into account the updated financial position of the Fund.

Electricity market readiness plan : Ontario Energy Board
International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
2001-03-01
This document informs electric power market participants of the Ontario Energy Board's newly developed market readiness plan and target timelines that local distribution companies (LDCs) must meet for retail marketing. The Ontario Energy Board's plan incorporates relevant independent market operator (IMO)-administered market milestones with retail market readiness targeted for September 2001. The market readiness framework involves a self-certification process for LDCs by August 10, 2001, through which the Board will be able to monitor progress and assess the feasibility of meeting the target timelines. For retail market readiness, all LDCs will have to calculate settlement costs, produce unbundled bills, provide standard supply service, change suppliers and accommodate retail transactions. LDCs must be either authorized participants in the IMO-administered market or become retail customers of their host LDC. Unbundled bills will include itemized charges for energy price, transmission, distribution and debt retirement charge. 1 tab., 1 fig

ShooT specific/Specific Tissue (ST) belong to a protein family of unknown function characterized by the DUF2775 domain and produced in specific taxonomic plant families, mainly Fabaceae and Asteraceae, with the Medicago truncatula ST family being the largest. The putative roles proposed for this family are cell elongation, biotic interactions, abiotic stress and N reserve. The aim of this work was to go deeper into the role of three M. truncatula ST proteins, namely ST1, ST2 and ST3. Our starting hypothesis was that each member of the family could perform a specific role, and hence, each ST gene would be subjected to a different type of regulation. The search for cis-acting regulatory elements (CREs) in silico in pST1, pST2 and pST3 promoters showed prevalence of tissue/organ specific motifs, especially root- and seed-specific ones. Light, hormone, biotic and abiotic related motifs were also present. None of these pSTs showed the same combination of CREs, or presented the same activity pattern. In general, pST activity was associated with the vascular cylinder, mainly in roots. Promoter activation was highly specific and dissimilar during reproductive development. The ST1, ST2 and ST3 transcripts accumulated in most of the organs and developmental stages analysed - decreasing with age - and expression was higher in the roots than in the aerial parts and more abundant in light-grown plants. The effect of the different treatments on transcript accumulation indicated that ST1 behaved differently from ST2 and ST3, mainly in response to several hormones and dehydration treatments (NaCl or mannitol), upon which ST1 transcript levels decreased and ST2 and ST3 levels increased. Finally, the ST1 protein was located in the cell wall whereas ST2 and ST3 were present both in the cytoplasm and in the cell wall. The ST proteins studied are ubiquitous proteins that could perform distinct/complementary roles in plant biology as they are encoded by differentially regulated genes

Open Access Publication Policy ATLAS had recently issued a short statement in support of open access publishing. The mood of the discussions in the December CMS Collaboration Board had appeared to be in favour and so it was being proposed that CMS issue the same statement as that made by ATLAS (the statement is attached to the agenda of this meeting). The Collaboration Board agreed. Election of the Chair of the Collaboration Board Following the agreement to shorten the terms of both the Spokesperson and the Collaboration Board Chair, and to introduce a longer overlap period between the election and the start of the term, the election for the next Collaboration Board Chair was due in December 2007. If the old standard schedule specified in the Constitution were adapted to this date, then the Board should be informed at the present meeting that the election was being prepared. However, it was felt that the experience of the previous year's election of the Spokesperson had shown that it would be desirable to...

Full Text Available This paper gives an overview over the number of women serving on corporate boards both in Iceland and abroad. Women hold only around 20% of boards seats and similar number of women is in top managements. It will analyse the development and find plausible explanations of the present situation and introduce recent research papers in this field and explore the impact of more diversity and on firm performance. Are more gender diverse boards likely to perform better then firms lacking the diversity? Will diversity and increased number of women on boards have positive influence on the number of women in top management positions in the same firms? The evidence in the research papers is inconclusive of the effects of gender diversity on firm performance, but better performing firms tend to have more women on the board. We will see positive relation between corporate and board size and the representation of women the boards but find the inverse relation in Iceland. The requirements by law that a minimum fraction of the firm´s board members to be of a certain gender will call for a dramatic improvement on the current situation. Finally we explore the possibilities in the ways firms will increase the number of women on boards to meet the mandating gender diversity before the deadline set by the regulators.Í þessari yfirlitsgrein er farið yfir stöðu kvenna í stjórnum fyrirtækja, bæði hér á landi og erlendis.

Survival rates after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for Fanconi anemia (FA) have increased dramatically since 2000. However, the use of autologous stem cell gene therapy, whereby the patient's own blood stem cells are modified to express the wild-type gene product, could potentially avoid the early and late complications of allogeneic HCT. Over the last decades, gene therapy has experienced a high degree of optimism interrupted by periods of diminished expectation. Optimism stems from recent examples of successful gene correction in several congenital immunodeficiencies, whereas diminished expectations come from the realization that gene therapy will not be free of side effects. The goal of the 1st International Fanconi Anemia Gene Therapy Working Group Meeting was to determine the optimal strategy for moving stem cell gene therapy into clinical trials for individuals with FA. To this end, key investigators examined vector design, transduction method, criteria for large-scale clinical-grade vector manufacture, hematopoietic cell preparation, and eligibility criteria for FA patients most likely to benefit. The report summarizes the roadmap for the development of gene therapy for FA. PMID:21540837

Hospital board structure: changing form and changing issues.
Tregoning, S
2000-01-01
Economic and social pressures are compelling many hospitals to consider their current board structure in an effort to position their hospital to meet changing demands. A national profile of the structures of hospital boards has been compiled from a questionnaire completed by hospital board representatives from both government and non-government sectors. Results show that hospital board structures are a hybrid of both philanthropic and corporate models. New structures may be required to meet future challenges. In developing new structures, consideration should be given to identifying the skills and processes required to undertake board business.

1st Advanced Marine Renewable Energy Instrumentation Experts Workshop
Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)
none,
2011-10-01
The U.S. marine energy industry is actively pursuing development of offshore wind and marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy systems. Experience in the wind energy sector demonstrates that new technology development requires thorough measurement and characterization of the environmental conditions prevalent at installation sites and of technology operating in the field. Presently, there are no turn-key instrumentation system solutions that meet the measurement needs of the marine energy industry. The 1st Advanced Marine Renewable Energy Instrumentation Experts Workshop brought together technical experts from government laboratories, academia, and industry representatives from marine energy, wind, offshore oil and gas, and instrumentation developers to present and discuss the instrumentation needs of the marine energy industry. The goals of the meeting were to: 1. Share the latest relevant knowledge among technical experts; 2. Review relevant state-of-the-art field measurement technologies and methods; 3. Review lessons learned from recent field deployments; 4. Identify synergies across different industries; 5. Identify gaps between existing and needed instrumentation capabilities; 6. Understand who are the leading experts; 7. Provide a forum where stakeholders from the marine energy industry could provide substantive input in the development of new marine energy field deployable instrumentation packages.

Board members’ contribution to strategy: The mediating role of board internal processes
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
Carmen Barroso-Castro
2017-05-01
Full Text Available This study aims to explore what directors do on the board, to what extent the processes occurring in the board allow the sharing and integrating of the existing knowledge, thus facilitating the board members’ contributions to strategy. We adopt the view that the internal board processes increase the impact of the cognitive resources on board performance. Using survey data from 200 large Spanish companies we demonstrate that directors’ level of knowledge of the firm and board job-related diversity positively influence the degree of the board's strategic involvement. Additionally, the internal processes that take place within the board – particularly Cognitive Conflict, the Critical and Independent Approach and the Comprehensive Discussion Process – influence the board's strategic involvement and play a partial mediating role on the aforementioned relationships. However, our results show no evidence for a positive relationship between Board Meeting Dynamics and the board's strategic involvement.

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2006-01-01
Most of the discussions at the meetings of the Governing Board of the Pension Fund on 20 September, 13 October and 15 November 2005 led to decisions by the Council at its Session on 15 and 16 December 2005 that will shape the future of the Pension Fund in more ways than one. The summary of these three most recent meetings of the Governing Board therefore focuses on the Council's decisions concerning: a package of equilibration measures for the CERN Pension Fund, consisting of proposals by the Governing Board and by the CERN Management; amendments to the Rules of the Pension Fund concerning family composition; an amendment to the Rules of the Pension Fund introducing a new Article III 1.06, 'The extension of the contract of a staff member beyond the age limit of 65'; the payment of compensation to the Pension Fund for the reduction observed in staff numbers between 2001 and 2004; the indexation of pensions for 2006.

The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its one-hundred-and-twenty-third and one-hundred-and-twenty-fourth meetings on 6 April and 11 May 2004 respectively. At the first of the two meetings, the Governing Board took note of a summary by Mr F. Bello, one of the representatives appointed to the Board by the Council, of the highlights of the Council's latest meeting on 18 March 2004. Those highlights include the signing of the protocol on the Organization's privileges and immunities. Once ratified by a majority of the Member States, this protocol should, as a consequence of recognition of the Organization's international status, allow the Organization's right to tax exemption to be extended to all the Member States. The Governing Board then examined and approved the Annual Report of the Pension Fund for 2003, subject to a few amendments of a technical nature. This document will be examined at the Finance Committee and Council in June. Once approved, it will be made available for consultation on the Fund's ...

The dBoard: a Digital Scrum Board for Distributed Software Development
DEFF Research Database (Denmark)
Esbensen, Morten; Tell, Paolo; Cholewa, Jacob Benjamin
2015-01-01
In this paper we present the dBoard - a digital Scrum Board for distributed Agile software development teams. The dBoard is designed as a 'virtual window' between two Scrum team spaces. It connects two locations with live video and audio, which is overlaid with a synchronized and interactive...... digital Scrum board, and it adapts the fidelity of the video/audio to the presence of people in front of it. The dBoard is designed to work (i) as a passive information radiator from which it is easy to get an overview of the status of work, (ii) as a media space providing awareness about the presence...... of remote co-workers, and (iii) as an active meeting support tool. The paper presents a case study of distributed Scrum in a large software company that motivates the design of the dBoard, and details the design and technical implementation of the dBoard. The paper also reports on an initial user study...

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2005-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its one-hundred-and-thirtieth meeting on 18 January 2005. At the meeting, it took note of the Preliminary Draft Report by the CERN Council Working Group on the procedures for the appointment of the Chairman and the terms of office of members appointed by the Council to the Governing Board of the Pension Fund (Osnes Report). As the report constituted a preliminary version, the Governing Board took the view that it was not appropriate for it to state its position on the content for the time being, especially since some aspects, particularly those relating to the procedure for the appointment of the Council's representatives fell within the latter's remit. Nevertheless, given that a number of the issues raised in the report also related to the general operation of the bodies of the Pension Fund (Governing Board, Investment Committee, Administrator), the Governing Board instructed its Chairman, J. Bezemer, to inform the Council, at its session in March, that the Board...

The Governing Board held its 116th meeting on 6 May 2003, which was mainly devoted to two presentations, the first by J.-P. Matheys, Chairman of the Working Group set up to examine a request from ESO, who reported on the group's first meeting, and the second by Guy Maurin, Chairman of the Investment Committee, on the latter's meeting of 9 April. Concerning ESO's request to the Governing Board of the Pension Fund relating to changes that ESO wishes to make to the conditions of membership of its staff members, J.-P. Matheys reported that at the first meeting of the Working Group specially set up to examine this request the members had agreed that the Group should give priority to ensuring that ESO's request had no financial or legal repercussions for the Fund. The Group had also expressed its agreement with the Governing Board's opinion that any amendment to the Pension Fund Rules and Regulations should be avoided. Furthermore, the Group had reached the conclusion that it would be impossible to submit recommend...

Areva - Press release from the Supervisory Board
International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
Marie, Patricia; Briand, Pauline; Floquet-Daubigeon, Fleur; Michaut, Maxime; Scorbiac, Marie de; Repaire, Philippine du
2012-01-01
During its meeting held on December 12, 2011, devoted in particular to the examination of the 2011 closing estimates, the AREVA Executive Board indicated that it expected to book a provision of 1.46 billion euros (2.025 billion US dollars) in the company's accounts for fiscal year 2011 for impairment of assets for the reporting entity UraMin, a mining company acquired by AREVA in 2007, which, given the provision booked in 2010 (426 million euros), brings the value of these assets on the AREVA balance sheet down to 410 million euros. Given the size of these provisions, the Supervisory Board decided to make three of its members, meeting as an ad hoc committee, in charge of analyzing the terms of acquisition of this company, as well as the key decisions made in this reporting entity up to 2011 and, based on the outcome of these analyses, to recommend to it any appropriate measures in AREVA's interest. This committee reported on its work during the Supervisory Board meeting held on February 14, 2012. In light of this report, the Supervisory Board found that the fairness and reliability of the financial statements of previous years were not in question. Nevertheless, considering the malfunctions raised, the Board considers it appropriate to thoroughly review AREVA's governance in order to ensure that decisions concerning large acquisitions or investments be reviewed and validated in the future under conditions ensuring better legal and financial security and enabling a more transparent dialogue between management and the Supervisory Board. It thus asked the Executive Board to recommend, at the next General Meeting of Shareholders, that the by-laws of the company be modified to make the Supervisory Board's prior approval of investments, stake acquisitions and acquisitions mandatory above a threshold of 20 million euros. It also decided to set up a business ethics committee within the Supervisory Board responsible for ensuring that rules of conduct are properly applied

ON-BOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR KITSAT-1 AND 2
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
H. S. Kim
1996-06-01
Full Text Available KITSAT-1 and 2 are microsatellites weighting 50kg and all the on-board data are processed by the on-board computer system. Hence, these on-board computers require to be highly reliable and be designed with tight power consumption, mass and size constraints. On-board computer(OBC systems for KITSAT-1 and 2 are also designed with a simple flexible hardware for reliability and software takes more responsibility than hardware. KITSAT-1 and 2 on-board computer system consist of OBC 186 as the primary OBC and OBC80 as its backup. OBC186 runs spacecraft operating system (SCOS which has real-time multi-tasking capability. Since their launch, OBC186 and OBC80 have been operating successfully until today. In this paper, we describe the development of OBC186 hardware and software and analyze its in-orbit operation performance.

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2001-01-01
The Governing Board held its one-hundred-and-first meeting on 5 June, during which it took note of the external auditors' report on the accounts of the Fund for the financial year 2000, and the comments by the Administration of the Fund on the report. It should be noted in this regard that, in the light of a remark by the auditors regarding the procedures followed by the Fund in paying out transfer values, the Governing Board decided to propose to the CERN Council at its December session a change in the wording of Article II 1.13 of the Rules and Regulations so as to bring it into line with the Fund's regular practices. The effect on the Fund of the introduction of the new salary scales was considered and a small working group was commissioned to undertake the necessary technical adjustments. The Governing Board then heard a report by the Chairman of the Investment Committee on its meeting of 3 May 2001. G. Maurin stated that the Committee members had agreed to invite a second consultants' firm to carry out a...

This means that pension entitlements under the Rules are not directly affected by the financial crisis and the current economic situation. However, the adjustment of pensions to the cost of living is not automatic and, under the method applied since 2006, must take into account the Fund’s financial position.

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
2005-01-01
The Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its one hundred-and-twenty-eighth and one hundred and-twenty-ninth meetings on 2 November and 7 December 2004 respectively. At the first of these two meetings, the Governing Board was requested to deal with an urgent request relating to the procedure for the election of two members and two alternates to the Board. The members of the Board decided to cancel the voting procedure under way at that time on the grounds that one of the candidates had benefited from special publicity from the Staff Association that ran counter to the spirit of the Rules and Regulations of the Fund and could potentially influence the outcome of the elections. It was decided that a new round of voting should be organised to ensure a fair procedure. As announced in the Weekly Bulletin of 6 December 2004, the new vote was deferred to January 2005. The Governing Board then took note of a document setting out the large number of proposals from its members concerning possible measures to impr...

E-st@r-I experience: Valuable knowledge for improving the e-st@r-II design
Corpino, S.; Obiols-Rabasa, G.; Mozzillo, R.; Nichele, F.
2016-04-01
Many universities all over the world have now established hands-on education programs based on CubeSats. These small and cheap platforms are becoming more and more attractive also for other-than-educational missions, such as technology demonstration, science applications, and Earth observation. This new paradigm requires the development of adequate technology to increase CubeSat performance and mission reliability, because educationally-driven missions have often failed. In 2013 the ESA Education Office launched the Fly Your Satellite! Programme which aims at increasing CubeSat mission reliability through several actions: to improve design implementation, to define best practices for conducting the verification process, and to make the CubeSat community aware of the importance of verification. Within this framework, the CubeSat team at Politecnico di Torino developed the e-st@r-II CubeSat as follow-on of the e-st@r-I satellite, launched in 2012 on the VEGA Maiden Flight. E-st@r-I and e-st@r-II are both 1U satellites with educational and technology demonstration objectives: to give hands-on experience to university students and to test an active attitude determination and control system based on inertial and magnetic measurements with magnetic actuation. This paper describes the know-how gained thanks to the e-st@r-I mission, and how this heritage has been translated into the improvement of the new CubeSat in several areas and lifecycle phases. The CubeSat design has been reviewed to reduce the complexity of the assembly procedure and to deal with possible failures of the on-board computer, for example re-coding the software in the communications subsystem. New procedures have been designed and assessed for the verification campaign accordingly to ECSS rules and with the support of ESA specialists. Different operative modes have been implemented to handle some anomalies observed during the operations of the first satellite. A new version of the on-board software is

COLLABORATION BOARD 21/09/07 (CB57)
Week Outside CERN 2008 (L. Foa)) The Management Board had agreed to the holding a CMS Week outside CERN in 2008, preferably in June, which the Collaboration Board was invited to consider. It should be in a location where it would be possible for younger members of the Collaboration to attend. One of¬fer had already been received. The Collaboration Board agreed that offers be solicited, for a meeting in June. Constitution Update (L. Foa) There had been little progress over the summer on updating the Constitution but it was intended to have this com¬pleted in time for approval in the December CMS Week. Input of sections from persons outside the Collaboration Board Advisory Group were still needed. Because there were a number of important changes to be approved, it was proposed to schedule a special Collaboration Board meeting for this, to be held on Thursday 13th December.

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2003-01-01
On 8 October the Governing Board of the Pension Fund held its 119th meeting, at which the members continued discussing the requests of ESO. It was noted that the Governing Board's working group as well as CERN's Legal Service and the Administration of the Pension Fund had already spent much time and effort examining the various possible options. In that context, given the considerable legal and financial consequences the requests could have for the Fund, especially regarding amendments to the Rules and Regulations, the investment costs and even administrative overheads associated with the currency overlay, the Governing Board decided that it was appropriate to invite the ESO Director of Administration to come and present ESO's position. At the same meeting, the Governing Board decided to recommend the Director-General to propose to the CERN Council a pension indexation of 0.7%, which was equivalent to the cost-of-living in Geneva up to August 2003 and would ensure purchasing power was maintained. In its reco...

The 1st of April 2470 BC Total Solar Eclipse Seen by the Prophet Ibraheem
Yousef, S. M.
The Holy Quran describes a phenomenon seen by young Abraham that can only fit a solar eclipse. Two criteria were given for this particular eclipse; first only one planet was seen as soon as it got dark and second no corona was seen. In order to justify the first selection rule, examinations of solar and planetary longitudes for total solar eclipses passing over Babel were carried out. Only the eclipse of the 1st of April 2470 BC meets this condition, as it was only Venus that was seen at that eclipse. The second selection rule was also naturally fulfilled, as Babel happened to be on the border of the totality zone hence no corona was seen, however all the time the moon glistened as Baily's beads. There is no doubt that the prophet Abraham witnessed the 1st of April total solar eclipse that passed over Babel. This will put him about 470 years backward than it was previously anticipated.

Governing Board of the Pension Fund
HR Department
2008-01-01
The Pension Fund Governing Board (PFGB) held its first two meetings in the new configuration on 16 November 2007 and 14 January 2008. Most of the items examined, such as the actuarial review, the strategic asset allocation, accounting standards and the new governance of the Pension Fund, were on the agendas of both meetings. At its first meeting, held at ESO in Munich, the PFGB took note of matters pending referred to it by the previous Governing Board and addressed issues relating to its own functioning and to the measures to be taken with a view to gradual implementation of the new governance principles. In the interests of continuity, it extended the terms of office of the members of the Investment Committee appointed by the Board until the new Committee is set up, as well as those of the members of the Working Group on Actuarial Matters to allow them to complete the three studies referred to in a recent issue of the Bulletin (No. 6 of 5 and 12 February 2007).

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2002-01-01
The Governing Board held its hundred-and-tenth and hundred-and-eleventh meetings on 3 September and 2 October respectively. At the first of these meetings, the Governing Board first heard a report presented by B. Strange and F.-X. Douin of JPMorgan Fleming Asset Management on currency overlay. This system has been in operation since 1997 and has fully achieved its objective of allowing the Fund to diversify its investment positions outside Switzerland while reducing portfolio risk. Although the implementation of this currency overlay policy has resulted in substantial disbursements in the first few years, cashflow over the whole period and especially since the weakening of the dollar has been positive. The Governing Board, on the basis of a proposal by the Investment Committee, will have to take a decision on the average level of overlay to be maintained for the Fund's assets. The ordinary meeting held on the afternoon of the same day was mainly devoted to the examination of a number of technical amendments t...

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)
Vicente, J. de; Castilla, J.; Martinez, G.
2007-09-27
Decamp (Dark Energy Survey Camera) is a new instrument designed to explore the universe aiming to reveal the nature of Dark Energy. The camera consists of 72 CCDs and 520 Mpixels. The readout electronics of DECam is based on the Monsoon system. Monsoon is a new image acquisition system developed by the NOAO (National Optical Astronomical Observatory) for the new generation of astronomical cameras. The Monsoon system uses three types of boards inserted in a Eurocard format based crate: master control board, acquisition board and clock board. The direct use of the Monsoon system for DECam readout electronics requires nine crates mainly due to the high number of clock boards needed. Unfortunately, the available space for DECam electronics is constrained to four crates at maximum. The major drawback to achieve such desired compaction degree resides in the clock board signal density. This document describes the changes performed at CIEMAT on the programmable logic of the Monsoon clock board aiming to meet such restricted space constraints. (Author) 5 refs.

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2000-01-01
The Governing Board held its 97th meeting on 5 December. On this occasion, it took note of the Draft Resolution on the Conclusions of the Five-Yearly Review 2000, one of which relates to the adjustment of the contribution rates to the Pension Fund which would rise from 9.37 % to 10.12 % of the reference salary for the members and fall from 21 % to 20.25 % of the reference salary for the Organization with effect from 1.1.2001. The Governing Board noted that those adjustments would not alter the overall contribution rate, which remains at 30.37 %. Consequently, it agreed to the proposed changes. The corresponding amendments to the Rules and Regulations of the Pension Fund will come into force with effect from 1.1.2001. The Board also took note of a request in the draft Resolution relating to three studies in addition to the triennial actuarial review as at 1.1.2001, namely 1) to study the financial consequences for the Fund of the proposed increase in the staff of 170 posts over the period 2002-2008, 2) to asse...

GOVERNING BOARD OF THE PENSION FUND
2002-01-01
The Governing Board met on 9 April and 4 June. The first of these two meetings was essentially devoted to the examination and approval of the draft 2001 Annual Report of the Pension Fund and the allocation of the year's results. In the latter connection, the Governing Board decided, on the basis of the recommendations by the two firms of actuaries involved in the last actuarial review, that the amounts previously referred to in the accounts as "reserves" should be considered as part of the Fund's capital. The description of part of the Fund's assets as reserves as opposed to capital hitherto had been a matter of form rather than anything more fundamental. The Governing Board therefore formally approved this change in the Fund's accounting practices for the sake of consistency between the Accounts of the Fund and the approach adopted by the actuaries in the actuarial review. Among the other items examined during the meeting, the Governing Board approved a new strategic allocation for investments, which essenti...

Social Responsibility in the Board Room
DEFF Research Database (Denmark)
Ege, Mette; Geisler, Kathrine; Knudsen, Jette Steen
When do board directors pay attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues? Board directors have traditionally focused on maximizing shareholder profit and viewed corporate governance narrowly as a way to meet this goal. They have paid little or no attention to CSR issues because...... they see CSR as a contrast to profit maximization. We argue in this article that companies can no longer ignore CSR. We propose that three conditions must be met in order for boards to pay attention to CSR. First, the board must have a mind-set that considers CSR as contributing value to the firm. Second...

The Kostyuk report: Corporate board practices in Ukraine
Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
Alexander N. Kostyuk
2005-01-01
Full Text Available The author reports on the corporate board practices in Ukraine. The roles of board of directors are mainly about control. The strategic and advisory roles are not developed. The mode of strategic involvement of the members of supervisory boards in Ukraine is mainly about reviewing and approving. Thus, the board of directors in Ukraine is "a rubber stamp". The degree of independence of directors is very low. Major board practices in Ukraine are: small number of independent directors on the board; low frequency of meeting of the board; small number of committees on the board; the management board influences the supervisory board. Board practices in Ukraine need a sort of recommendations, similar to those, made in UK at the end of 1990s, and at the start of the third millennium.
