“The introduction of REITs in the Italian Property market”
No full textThe Italian property market, compared to other European markets, is not well established. It is dominated by the two major cities of Rome and Milan and, within those cities, the principal property investments available are offices and retail. In the residential sector, the 80% of families own their house, so that the investments in this sector are very limited. There has been a period of sustained growth in the market since the end of the 1990s and the timing of the introduction of funds in 1999 coincided with the upward trend of the property cycle. Capital value growth has been strong in all sectors, as has income return on the commercial real estate sector. The nature of the Italian market meant that it experienced significant growth from a relatively low base level. However, the lack of maturity also makes it is difficult to judge performance against an established benchmark due to data issues and the lack of transparency. Within the Jones Lang LaSalle global transparency index, Italy registered a significant improvement in its transparency score. The main issue is a paucity of available information at a national level and while there are many local databases of price information for all sectors and some national databases relating to rents and market value, none of these are complete performance indices showing full return information. In the contribution we discuss the introduction of Italian Property Funds and Reits and what they changed in the property sector
Short-term probabilistic earthquake risk assessment considering time-dependent b values
No full textLaboratory experiments highlight a systematic b value decrease during the stress increase period
before failure, and some large natural events are known to show a precursory decrease in the b value. However,
short-termforecastmodels currently consider only the generic probability that an event can trigger subsequent
seismicity in the near field. While the probability increase over a stationary Poissonian background is substantial,
selected case studies have shown through cost-benefit analysis that the absolute main shock probability
remains too low to warrant significant mitigation actions. We analyze the probabilities considering both
changes in the seismicity rates and temporal changes in the b value. The precursory b value decrease in the
2009 L’Aquila case results in an additional fiftyfold probability increase for a M6.3 event. Translated into
time-varying hazard and risk, these changes surpass the cost-benefit threshold for short-term evacuation
Erfassung motorische Basiskompetenzen in der fünften Jahrgangsstufe
No full textMotorische Basiskompetenzen werden als nachhaltig erlernbare und funktionale Leistungsdispositionen verstanden. Sie gewährleisten eine basale Handlungsfähigkeit im Sport, indem Schüler (1) Sport und Bewegung qualifiziert ausführen können. Aufbauend auf dem MOBAK-1 und MOBAK-3 Testinstrument (ausführlich Herrmann & Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015) wird das MOBAK-5 Testinstrument für die fünfte Schulklasse vorgestellt, welche mittels unterrichtsnaher Testaufgaben die Kompetenzbereiche Sich-Bewegen und Etwas-Bewegen abdeckt. Die daraus gewonnenen Informationen können neben der Evaluation des Sportunterrichts dazu genutzt werden, eine gute Passung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Schülervoraussetzungen und den Lerngelegenheiten herzustellen.
Basic motor competencies are defined as a functional level of competence which can be learned and retained. Such competencies provide a guarantee of a student’s elementary ability for students to actively participate in sports. Based on the test instruments MOBAK-1 and MOBAK-3 (see Herrmann and Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015), the author presents the adaptation for fifth graders (MOBAK-5), which uses test items closely related to the curriculum to cover the areas of competence defined as “self-movement” and “object movement.” The recorded data can be used to both evaluate the physical education class as well as better coordinate the students’ varying prerequisites and learning opportunities
Preface. World's new princedoms: critical remarks on claimed alternatives by new life
Get PDF[Extract] The way we view the world, envisage possibilities for social change and strive for improvement in the quality of life is highly complex, with significant challenges in rapidly changing landscapes of the 21st century.
This book, edited by Herrmann and with contributions from Earles and Kratzwald, revisits, with fresh insight, key sociological, philosophical, political and cultural theoretical frameworks of relevance to contemporary globalised world. The book is thought-provoking in its central thesis which posits that there is a tendency for the 'refeudalisation' of production and reproduction and where economics is enmeshed with all elements of social life. Herrmann takes us on a journey of revisiting the concept of citizenship, that all important, and yet unclear concept We are confronted with how citizenship is redefined in the face of modern globalised capitalism where the state is an instrument of global economics. The author visits key questions of rights, inclusion-exclusion within bounded territoriality and spatial boundaries in the context of globalisation where borders are porous. The notion of citizenship calls into question its inextricable links to the nation-state. Herrmann challenges us to think through the complexity of this relationship including the technocratic nature of contemporary nation-states, what is the 'common good' and the relevance of collective rights. He also presents a critique of the nation state across the different historical stages of society (from slave society to global capitalist) and how the different stages of the nation state are characterised (i) on power, (ii) territoriality and (iii) on how it is related to economic structures and class division/division of labour
