Overall Conclusion. With this doctoral thesis we aimed to improve the understanding of the prevalence and treatment of anxiety in later life. Our systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence studies suggests that subthreshold anxiety might be at least equally prevalent to full-blown anxiety disorders in later life, and that for some types of anxiety prevalence rates seem to decrease throughout the later life span. The review article also highlights that little is still known about the ways in which age is associated with the prevalence and manifestation of anxiety. As earlier studies have indicated that anxiety is among the most common mental health problem in later life, it is important that future research focuses on answering more delicate questions regarding the presentation and prevalence of anxiety in older adults. Considering the psychological treatment of anxiety in later life, we found that a brief blended ACT intervention and a brief CBT intervention did not differ regarding their effects on anxiety symptom severity and related clinical outcomes. In both treatment conditions, large reductions of anxiety symptom severity were observed. Also, in terms of cost-effectiveness and cost-utility, there is no clear preference for one of the two interventions. Furthermore, we explored whether baseline participant characteristics moderated treatment response to the two interventions. We did not identify moderator variables, which indicates that there are no specific subgroups of patients that benefitted more from one of the two treatments. Lastly, we examined potential working mechanisms of the two interventions, but did not found evidence that the examined candidate mechanisms were related to anxiety symptom change during the ACT and CBT intervention. The results are promising, because they show that older adults with mild to moderately anxiety symptomatology can be effectively treated in a primary care setting with two low-threshold, brief psychological interventions. Mental health counselors and clients can together decide on their preferred treatment approach. These psychological interventions form a more constructive alternative to psychotropic drugs, which are still often prescribed to older adults with anxiety. Low-intensity psychological interventions for anxiety in later life have not previously been studied on such a large scale. This doctoral thesis therefore makes a timely and important contribution to the evidence- based treatment of the highly prevalent prob...
Overall Conclusion. 4.1.1 The findings of this EIA have provided information on the nature and extent of environmental impacts likely to arise from the construction and operation of the Project. The EIA has, where appropriate, identified mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental legislation and standards.
4.1.2 Overall, the EIA Report concludes that the Project would be environmentally acceptable with the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures for construction and operation phases. An environmental monitoring and audit programme has been recommended to ensure the effectiveness of recommended mitigation measures.
Overall Conclusion. 4.1.1 The findings of the EIA provided information on the nature and extent of the environmental impacts likely to arise from the construction and operation of the ARQ development. The EIA has, where appropriate, identified mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental legislation and standards.
4.1.2 Overall, the EIA concluded that the ARQ development would comply with the requirements of the EIAO and TM-EIAO with the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures during the construction and operational phases. The schedule of implementation of the proposed mitigation measures has been provided in the EIA report. An EM&A programme has also been recommended to check the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures.
Overall Conclusion. Based upon the forgoing, it is our opinion that:
(i) The Merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC; and
(ii) Pulaski Financial and CWE will each be a party to that reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the IRC.
Overall Conclusion. To what extent are the TIEAs based on the OECD model TIEA adequate tools for combating tax ▇▇▇▇▇▇?
Overall Conclusion. Before we went to the Kraft Manufacturing Plant in Garland, Texas, and in accordance with the Kraft agreement, we requested and received a certificate of compliance to certify that the company employed at least 230 full-time employees in the period from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. ▇▇▇▇▇ provided us with a list of full-time employees which contained 244 names. From this list, we developed an interval sample of employees to check during our visit to their location. The sample included 31 names of employees.
Overall Conclusion. The environmental impact assessment (covering air quality, noise, waste management, water quality, ecology, fisheries and landscape and visual) has concluded that no unacceptable environmental impacts are envisaged due to the construction and operation of the Proposed Beach Development. No adverse residual air, noise, water quality, waste management and landscape and visual impacts are anticipated from the construction and operation of the Project with the implementation of the recommended mitigation measures and good site practices. Although permanent loss of habitats (including backshore vegetation, village/modified area, intertidal and subtidal bottomed) and existing seabed are identified as residual ecological and fisheries impacts, the impacts are considered low/ negligible due to the low quality habitats and high mobility of faunal species and the fish can rehabilitate in the intertidal part of beach area. Thus, no long term unacceptable impacts on the environment are anticipated. Lung Mei is considered to be the best location for the proposed beach development in view of the following:
Overall Conclusion. 4.1 The findings of this EIA Study have determined the likely nature and extent of environmental impacts predicted to arise from the construction and operation phases of the Project. The EIA has, where appropriate, identified mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental legislation and standards.
4.2 Overall, the EIA Study for the proposed TM54SPS has predicted that the Project, with the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures for construction and operation phases, would comply with all applicable environmental standards and legislation. This EIA has also demonstrated the acceptability of the residual impacts from the Project and the protection of the population and environmentally sensitive resources. Environmental monitoring and audit mechanisms have been recommended to verify the effectiveness of recommended mitigation measures.
Overall Conclusion. 4.1.1 The findings of this EIA have provided information on the nature and extent of environmental impacts arising from the construction and operation of the Project. The EIA has, where appropriate, identified mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental legislation and standards.
4.1.2 Overall, the EIA for WDII and CWB has predicted that the Project will generally comply with environmental standards and legislation after the proposed construction and operation stage mitigation measures are implemented. This EIA has also demonstrated the general acceptability of the residual impacts from the Project and the protection of the population and environmentally sensitive resources. Environmental monitoring and audit mechanisms have been recommended before and during construction and operation, where necessary, to verify the accuracy of the EIA predictions and the effectiveness of recommended mitigation measures.
Overall Conclusion. Republic is in partial compliance with the Recyclables Processing and Marketing Agreement. Major concerns include the following: Republic did not provide the minimum reporting requirements per the Agreement. Republic has been charging the City $30 per ton for glass, instead of giving the City 80% of the gross revenues derived from the sale of glass. Republic did not perform audits every quarter as required per the terms of the Agreement. There were timing issues with various reports and payments. EWS has not monitored the Agreement: o Reconciliation of tonnage was not performed by EWS. o EWS does not re-calculate the OMB (High Southwest Board Market) pricing support for newspaper and OCC (Old Corrugated Cardboard), market price per ton, and gross revenue per commodity for amounts paid to the City on the MRF Pricing Analysis. The City did not verify if Republic maintained liability insurance which was required upon renewal of the Agreement.
