Law & Economics Perspectives on Electricity Regulation
No full textThis paper first reviews some of the main contributions of the new institutional economics to the analysis of the process of competitive transformation of network industries. It shows that neoinstitutional analysis is complementary to the microeconomics of rational pricing, since it accounts for the decisive role of an institutional framework adapted to new transactions. It emphasizes the importance of the political reform process, which draws on the conditions of attractiveness and feasibility to define an initial reorganization of property rights in these industries. The paper then analyzes in this light some of the main challenges ahead for electricity regulation: the question of investment in generation capacities and the link to long term contracts, the regulation of wholesale market power, the support to Renewable Energy Sources for Electricity (RES-E) and the design of new regulatory authorities.Electricity Markets; New Institutional Economics; Law & Economics

A PORTRAIT OF ADRIEN PAUW AT THE STROSSMAYER GALLERY
No full textDosada neiddentificirani »Portret muškarca« iz Strossmayerove galerije u Zagrebu (SG-200) autorica otkriva kao portret nizozemskog državnika Adriaena Pauwa (Amsterdam 1585. - Dan Haag 1653.), jednoga od potpisnika Munsterskoga mira (1648.) Komparativnom analizom autorice dokazuje, da među brojnim Pauwovim portretima najjače usporednice vežu zagrebački portret uz »Portret Adriaena Pauwa« Jana Baptista Florisa (oko 1617. - Antwerpen 1655.). Ta je slika nastala po izgubljenom, ali često u grafički medij proširenom Pauwowom portretu Anselmusa van Hullea (1594. - nakon 1668.), a Florisovo se djelo nalazi u Friedenssaal Gradske viječnice u Munsteru.The figure in The Portrait of a Man at the Strossmayer Gallery (SG200) which until now was unnamed is identified by the author as a likeness of the Dutch statesman Adriaen Pauw (1585-1653). As a rich and notable citizen he was the representative of the provinces Holland and West Friesland in talks which put an end to eighty years of war between the Spanish Crown and the Provinces of the Netherlands. Pauw was one of the signatories of the final document of the Munster Treaty (1648). The author suggests that of the numerous surviving portraits of Pauw the greatest likeness with the portrait in Zagreb is that found in The Portrait of Adrien Pauw by Jan Baptista Floris after Anselmus van Hulle (1594-after 1668?) at the City Hall in Munster

Cello techniques and performing practices in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
No full textThis thesis comprises a study of cello performance practices throughout the nineteenth century and into the early decades of the twentieth. It is organised in terms of the increasing complexity of the concepts which it examines, as they are to be found in printed and manuscript music, instrumental methods and larger treatises, early recordings, concert reviews and pictures. Basic posture is considered along with different ways of holding the
bow. The development of the tail-pin shows that even when it was widely used, the older posture was still referred to as a model. Some implications for tone quality and tonal
projection are considered in the light of the shape of the arms. Some connections between the cellist's posture and that recommended by etiquette books are explored. The
functionality of the left hand and arm, and the development of modem scale fingerings, show that there was a considerable period of overlap between newer and older practices, with modern scale fingerings evolving over a long period of time. Similarly, views on the function of the right wrist in bowing are shown to change gradually, moving towards a more active upper arm movement with less extreme flexibility of the wrist. Two central expressive techniques especially associated with string playing arc considered in the context of the cello, namely vibrato and portamento. These topics are examined in the light of written indications in music, recommendations in cello treatises, and the practices evidenced in early recordings. The sources for this study can be brought into an overall
framework of a constant dialogue between `theory', as expressed in verbal instructions to the learner, or general a priori reflections about the cello, and `practice', manifested in performing editions and early recordings, or in individual acts of reception. A wide divergence is noted, both between theory and practice in general, and in terms of different styles of playing observable at any one time. It is suggested that tensions between practice
and critical disapproval can be resolved in terms of Lacanian discourse. Several test cases are used in order to compare several different recordings of the same works. The question of the musical character of the cello is discussed in terms of widespread assumptions about its gendered identity. A wide range of sources suggest that this moved from a straightforwardly `masculine' identity expressed through a controlling, elevated eloquence to a less clearly defined one, incorporating the 'feminine', with a greater stress on uninhibited emotional expression. Some performance implications for this change of view are pursued with respect to specific repertoires. Broad conclusions stress the importance of the diversity of performance practices as opposed to unifying generalisations
