Compensation Procedure Design Sample Clauses

Compensation Procedure Design. PlastiCircle aims to implement a compensation procedure to encourage citizen to collect and sort packaging waste through positive reinforcement as previous research shows how incentives are useful to change attitudes and behaviour toward generation and disposal waste in individual households. The compensation procedure proposed is composed by: a) A module of information and education aimed to spread the initiative and to create an understanding of what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how it can be done as it is necessary in order to implement a successful procedure as the bibliographic review point out the need to provide it (Xxxxxx, X. X., 2000). Policy incentives to minimize generation of municipal solid waste (Xxxxxx, 2018), (Xxxxxxx, 2008). b) A contingency contract using a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement. In this case, the reinforcement occurs after a fixed number of responses have been emitted since the previous reinforcement. The variable ratio schedule typically yields a very high, persistent rate of response but fixed ratio schedule is more commonly used as it is more easy to apply (Labrador F. J., 2008). The compensation procedure is going to use only the positive reinforcement as method to improve, control and change the behaviour of others as at this stage it is not mandatory to participate, so it is not allowing to cause perjury to whom show interest. Once the target behaviour has been acquired long enough an extinction phase (a phase fade out of reward) will ideally starts as the goal is eventually to have natural supports/rewards to take over. Due to the duration of the pilot phase and that it will require an individualized stage it is not possible to carried out this phase. As the objectives of the PlastiCircle project do not chase to achieve citizen reaching the behaviour without reward them, there is not sense to explain these phase in the present deliverable.

  • Contribution Procedure Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party (“contributing party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid 15 days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available.
