Final remarks. This overview of some of the folk songs’ hallmark features confirms what we have said in the first section: the binary oppositions of ‘oral/written’, ‘simple/complex’, ‘anonymous/authorial’ and ‘traditional/modern’ do not provide an adequate analytical tool for interpreting folksong of any period. This is also valid in the field of ancient Greek culture, where our understanding of the carmina popularia is less enhanced and more hampered by the aforementioned binary oppositions. These binary oppositions do not prove effective in revealing what the collection of the carmina popularia and the texts included in them really represented in ancient Greece. On the contrary, they merely reflect and perpetuate a number of simplistic and elusive distinctions between folk traditions and literary forms. Notwithstanding its many drawbacks, this idea of folksong as something distinct in its very essence and form from literate poetry still pervades modern scholarship.195 More work remains to be done in identifying methodological approaches that may account successfully and usefully for the varieties and complexities of texts such as the carmina popularia. To this effect, criteria such as functionality, orality, texture, traditionality, and anonymity are not to be dismissed, but analysed from different theoretical perspectives. The analysis of these criteria should not lead to a prejudicial categorisation of folksong, to be distinguished in form and content, as well as in origin and composition, from literate poetry. Rather, any analysis, such as my own that will follow this Introduction, will be undertaken from the perspective of the contexts of reception and perception of the various songs themselves.
Final remarks. My conceptualisation of folksong in this last part of the Introduction (§1.3) has placed especial emphasis on the contexts of reception and perception over the contexts of production and composition. From this perspective, folk songs are no longer interpreted as oral, unsophisticated, anonymous and traditional, in opposition to what is written, sophisticated, authorial and modern. Such binary oppositions result only from a preconceived distinction of folk (lowbrow) poetry and literary (highbrow) poetry, a distinction which does not really account for what a folk song is, but which instead a priori defines sets of texts as ‘folk’ after deciding on what a folk song should not be. I have tried to demonstrate that a folk song can still be considered oral, anonymous and traditional, not because it is composed under certain conditions and for specific social categories, but due to the modalities in which the song is used and perceived by its users. These users correspond to varied social groups that can be termed ‘folk groups’ (in Dundes’ terminology). Besides, texture and formal features can sometimes be helpful in determining this folk-mode of perception, but they do not necessarily result in preconceived (lowbrow) contexts of origin and composition. Folk songs are oral because they are actualised in oral reperformances, regardless of their original processes of composition and transmission, processes from which the use of writing cannot be excluded a priori. In their 282 On the relationship between communal creation and communal ownership in oral poetry as a whole, see Xxxxxxxx 1977: 201-206. contexts of reperformance – which have been interpreted as synchronic reperformances – folk songs are primarily perceived from an occasional-functional perspective over a self-standing one. Features such as basic style and simple structure may point to the universal applicability of certain songs, and they may be more apt than others to be perceived from a functionalist perspective, and therefore to be appropriated by folk groups. Accordingly, folk songs can be considered traditional not because they can be traced back to an undefined ancient origin, but because they are part of a traditional, recurring event, in which folk groups share and appropriate the event’s songs for specific purposes. Finally, the songs so used and perceived do not need to be authorised by an authorial voice/identity. In Foucauldian terms, we can speak of the folk songs’ non-operative ‘author-fun...

Final remarks. In Table 2 the above mentioned remote sensing techniques are grouped according to their suitability to detect, map and monitor landslides in different velocity ranges. Table 1: Remote sensing techniques suitable to investigate different landslides according to their expected velocity. The methods summarized here are the ones suitable in many cases (in bold) or in some cases (not in bold) as extracted from Table 2. Obviously, there are techniques not shown here that can be used successfully in some particular cases. f technique applicable during the failure state, pf technique applicable in the post-failure state.

On one handside, fast landslides (rapid to extremely rapid landslides) are also short-lived, that is to say, they move during a short time span. This makes their discovery very improbable when they are in progress, unless sensors with a very-high frequency of scanning (of a second or less) are used. Such high scan frequencies are uncommon in space- or airborne remote sensing. High scan frequency is only justified locally, for sites where landslide activity is also high, and usually involves ground-based monitoring (i.e., an automatic debris-flow video recording which is triggered by vibration of geophones at the active channel). Such type of monitoring corresponds to a long-term monitoring, in the sense used in this document and cannot be used extensively in a wide area. On the other hand, common revisiting frequencies of satellite or airborne sensors are high enough for the monitoring of slow moving landslides. Data provided by these ...
Final remarks. The overview of all the provisions of the EPA shows that, beyond the con- tent of a preferential trade agreement, the contracting parties have agreed to numerous other economic integration arrangements. For this reason, the 19 Ministry of Trade and Industry, News Release, 11 July 2018 xxxx://xxx. meti. go. jp/english/press/2017/0712_001.html, (last accessed 25 July 2018). term “Economic Partnership Agreement”, which goes back to a renaming of the original working title “Free Trade Agreement”, is appropriate. The EPA does not include a specific section on consumer protection. However, it aims to contribute to the enhancement of consumer welfare (preamble) and has a consumer clause for electronic commerce. On con- sumer policy, the SPA provides that the EU, its Member States and Japan are to promote dialogues and exchange of views on policies and legislation aiming at a high level of consumer protection and enhance cooperation in key areas, including product safety, enforcement of consumer legislation, and consumer education, empowerment and redress. The EU and Japan have advanced their cooperation in the area of data protection20. Considering the existing differences between the EU and Japan in the negotiation of an investment protection agreement, the intention to con- clude the talks swiftly seems ambitious. The entry into force of the EPA and SPA is eagerly awaited, and in the years to come we will see whether these high expectations will be met and how the economic and strategic partnership will develop. Summary On 17 July 2018, the Economic Partnership Agreement and the Strategic Part- nership Agreement were signed by representatives of the EU and Japan. Both agreements are expected to enter into force in 2019. The EPA provides the legal basis for allowing companies from Japan to access the EU’s internal market on the most favourable terms and vice versa. At the same time, it establishes a legal framework that ensures important economic policy objectives such as legal certainty, transparency, consumer protection, promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises, competition and economic, social and environmental sustainability. The EPA is therefore much more than a free trade agreement, as it provides for a much wider integration of markets beyond the reduction and elimination of tariffs and the removal of trade barriers. Based on the same negotiation context and legally linked with the EPA, the SPA covers a number of areas, including political dialogue...
Final remarks. The proposed framework takes into account the fact that the condition of banks does not decline suddenly. On the contrary, weakness and problems accumulate with time. Therefore, the answer by the supervisory authorities shall keep pace with this development in an appropriate way that reduces or attempts in the final analysis, to stop the decline and to minimize the cost thereof. - The final step of the prompt corrective actions is the removal of the banking institution from the banking system. This option shall be taken seriously always because the cost of keeping a weak institution in the banking system may be higher than the cost of its removal. - The decision to remove the banking institution from the banking system would be easy and less costly whenever this decision is made at an early stage, not after the shareholders’ capital is diminished. The reason for this is that making the decision after depletion of shareholders’ capital will mean that there is a cost that shall be incurred by the depositors, the Deposit Insurance Corporation, or public funds. - The Supervisory Committee shall recommend this action on the strength of the facts that are available thereto about the condition of the bank and its estimation of the direct or indirect cost at present and in the future. - The decision to remove the banking institution from the banking system is an important decision because it sends an important message to each of the shareholders, administrative officers and major borrowers from the bank to the effect that they will bear the consequences of their inappropriate decisions that have led to the decline of the bank's condition. Moreover, the decision to remove the banking institution from the banking system before bank's capital is depleted reduces the chances that the bank's administrative officers or shareholders might exploit the bank for their personal interests because they know that the loss will eventually be incurred by the Deposits Insurance Corporation or by the tax payers.

Final remarks. The authors have included in this chapter the approaches that are presently being used to compare measured data with design data. The following remarkable issues were noted. • The IEC-61400-13 standard [33] clearly describes how mechanical load measurement campaigns should be carried out. However, this standard does not include a procedure how to compare the measured data with the design data. • From the VEWTDC project and from interviews with designers it is concluded that the measured data are being used for checking the correctness of design models, for quantifying input parameters of design models, for estimating uncertainties in the design models, and for completing the set of design loads in case the models are not suitable. A clear procedure for doing this has not been found. • The information found about comparing design and measured data is limited to the global turbine loads. The authors have not found any publication or report on comparing measured data of mechanical components with component design data.

Final remarks. Whether you are a creditor or a debtor, the impact of COVID-19 has the potential to be profound. The various governments’ responses to COVID-19, and the short and long-term financial impact of the pandemic, are fluid situations, resulting in significant uncertainties going forward. A Forbearance Agreement may help both parties navigate this difficult business environment.
