Die Neuauflage des Handbuchs zeigt den erreichten Stand der Technik und spiegelt die aktuelle Vorschriftenlage wieder. In den teilweise ausführlicher gefassten Kapiteln werden die technischen und operativen Grundlagen der Eisenbahninfrastruktur und der Interaktion von Infrastruktur, Fahrzeug, Betrieb und Leit- und Sicherungstechnik sowohl in ihren Zusammenhängen als auch in Maß und Zahl dargestellt. Das neu aufgenommene Kapitel zur betrieblichen Infrastrukturplanung und Spurplangestaltung schlägt die Brücke zu den Anforderungen, die jeder Planer von Eisenbahninfrastruktur kennen sollte. Es wird Wert darauf gelegt, dass der Nutzer durch eine knappe, aber fakten- und detailreiche Darstellung mit Bildern, Zeichnungen, Diagrammen und Tabellen einen schnellen Zugriff auf das gesuchte Wissensgebiet bzw. auf die nachzuschlagenden Einzelheiten erhält. Systematisch organisierte Querverweise vermitteln die Komplexität und Vernetzung der Ingenieurdisziplinen der Eisenbahninfrastruktur. Aus dem Inhalt • Zusammenwirken von Rad und Schiene, Eisenbahnoberbau • Ingenieurbauwerke, Eisenbahndämme und Einschnitte • Querschnittsgestaltung der Bahnanlagen • Spurplangestaltung und betriebliche Infrastrukturplanung • Trassierung und Gleisplangestaltung • Energieversorgung elektrischer Bahnen • Stromversorgungsanlagen der Infrastruktur • Umweltschutz Die Zielgruppen Praktisch tätige Ingenieure, Planungs- und Consultingingenieure des Bahnsektors Studierende und Lehrende des Verkehrs- und Bauingenieurwesens Führungskräfte und Entscheidungsträger in Unternehmen des Bahnsektors mit Technikverantwortung Die Herausgeber Professor Dr.-Ing. Lothar Fendrich war bis 2010 Vorstand Unternehmensentwicklung der SPITZKE AG in Großbeeren/Berlin. Er ist derzeit Geschäftsführer des Verbandes Betonschwellenindustrie e. V. in Berlin.

In recent years, natural and man-made disasters have confronted the international community with its most demanding reconstruction challenges since the aftermath of World War II. Managing the inflow of resources and spending those resources well have proven to be two of the main difficulties in such reconstruction projects, particularly after large-scale disasters. A central dilemma of the public financial management of reconstruction is the need for very high levels of accountability to demonstrate fiduciary credibility, while at the same time ensuring the rapid implementation of recovery programs. This paper identifies options and lessons for managing post-disaster reconstruction finance in three key areas: (i) the establishment of special institutions to manage the reconstruction process; (ii) the selection of public financial management systems with respect to the application of country systems, special fiduciary arrangements, or donor/NGO execution; and (iii) monitoring and evaluation systems. The authors synthesize the phasing of assistance and approaches in eight recent post-natural disaster reconstruction efforts (Aceh-Indonesia, Yogyakarta-Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Colombia, Grenada, and Honduras) to help guide the priorities and options for future instances of public financial management for disaster reconstruction. The paper also compares the challenges posed by post-conflict versus post-natural disaster public financial management.

What are the current trends and main characteristics of public education spending in Indonesia? Is education spending insufficient? Are expenditures in education efficient and equitable? This study reports the first account of Indonesia's aggregated (national and sub-national) spending on education, as well as the economic composition of education spending and its breakdown by programs. It presents estimations of the expected (average) level of education spending for a country with its economic and social characteristics. This analysis sheds light on the efficiency and equity of education spending by presenting social rates of return by level of education, by assessing the adequacy of current teacher earnings relative to other paid workers and the distribution of teachers across urban, rural, and remote regions, and by identifying the main determinants of education enrollment. It concludes that the current challenges in Indonesia are no longer defined by the need of additional spending, but rather the need to improve the quality of education services, and to improve the efficiency of education expenditures by re-allocating teachers to undersupplied regions and re-adjusting the spending mix within and between education programs for future additional spending in the sector. The study finds that poverty and student-aged labor are also significant constraints to education enrollment, stressing the importance of policies aimed at addressing demand-side factors.

This report examines the underlying economics of different types of digital technologies. It highlights what the new drivers of change are, why the dynamics with this latest round of technological change may be different, and what the distributional impacts may be within and across countries. It then examines the evidence for how different digital technologies are - or are not - contributing to competitiveness and opportunities for small and young firms, and firms in less developed areas, and what can be done about it. Europe faces a digital dilemma. European firms are particularly strong in operational technologies such as smart robotics and 3D printing. While this helps Europe's competitiveness, it also widens the divide between large and small firms, and leading and lagging regions. On the other hand, digital technologies, such as transactional technologies or matching platforms, have the greatest potential for market inclusion and convergence, but this is where Europe remains less competitive. The report lays out how Europe 4.0 is attainable. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has highlighted the importance of the data economy - and raised the risks if the digital dilemma is not addressed. This report provides a framework, evidence and recommendations on how governments can respond. Europe has the chance to attain a dynamic and inclusive technologically enhanced future, it should take that chance.
