em voz alta (TLVA). Os estímulos experimentais consistiram em 64 palavras correspondentes a
uma manipulação fatorial 2 x 2 de N e NF. No primeiro experimento, uma TLVA do tipo Go/NoGo,
observou-se um efeito inibidor de NF quando as palavras tinham muitos vizinhos ortográfi cos. No
segundo experimento, uma TLVA na qual tanto as palavras quantos as pseudopalavras deviam ser
pronunciadas em uma mesma sessão, observou-se um efeito facilitador de N. Os efeitos de N e NF
foram atribuídos a diferenças de ênfase entre as tarefas no processo de acesso lexical.

Abstract
Two experiments were carried out to investigate the orthographic neighborhood density (N) and
neighborhood frequency effects (NF) in reading aloud tasks. The experimental stimuli consisted of
64 words corresponding to a 2x2 factorial manipulation of N and NF. In the fi rst experiment, during
a Go/NoGo reading aloud task, an inhibitory NF effect was observed when the words had a high
number of neighbors. In the second experiment, a reading aloud task in which the subjects had to
pronounce words and pseudowords mixed in the same session, a facilitative N effect was observed.
N and NF effects were attributed to different task demands on the process of lexical access.
Keywords: Visual word recognition, orthographic neighborhood, lexical access, reading.

The Netherlands investment climate - Main tax featuresLoyens & Loeff
The aim of this booklet is to high-light the crucial features of doing business in the Netherlands together with a snapshot of the main tax features. It also gives sufficient background to facilitate communications with tax counsel in the Netherlands.
The Loyens & Loeff series on Investment Climate consists of four separate booklets, one for each of our home markets: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
This brochure offers potential investors an overview of how they can organise their logistics activities in Flanders and what incentives come with each scenario.
Want to set up & invest in Flanders, please contact our project managers in Brussels or our colleagues closest to you in your country: http://www.investinflanders.be
Over 1,150 international companies have operations in Ireland. These companies are involved in a wide range of activities and sectors including technology, pharmaceuticals, biosciences, financial services and manufacturing. The attraction of Ireland as an investment location can be attributed to the positive approach of successive Irish Governments to the promotion of inward investment, its membership of the European Union (“EU”), a very favourable corporate tax rate and a skilled and flexible labour pool.
The purpose of this Guide is to provide an introduction to the major commercial and legal issues to be considered by international companies establishing business operations in Ireland and it provides general observations and guidance in relation to the many questions we have encountered from clients. Particular businesses or industries may be subject to additional legal requirements and specific advice may be required in these circumstances.
If you are considering Ireland as a location for your business we look forward to hearing from you.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Netherlands
• Netherlands has been playing a special role in
the European economy for many centuries.
• It has a highly mechanised agricultural and dairy
sector employs 4% of the labour force but
provides large surpluses for the food-processing
industry and for exports.
• The Dutch rank third worldwide in value of
agricultural exports, behind the United States
and France, with exports earning $55 billion
annually.
3. Why???
• The receptive international perspective, that the Dutch have long been know for,
has turned their economy into one of the most accessible in the world. The
Netherlands are in particular praised for its outward-looking business culture, its
strategic location within Europe, its productive, skilled and multilingual workforce,
and its sound macro-economic underpinnings.
• Gateway to Europe - The Netherlands is an ideal location from which to penetrate
markets throughout Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa and beyond, by
establishing operations here.
• Business environment - Known for centuries as a nation of successful traders, the
Dutch are internationally oriented by nature and know instinctively how to
anticipate and fulfill the needs of a customer, no matter where he or she is based.
• Superior logistics and technology infrastructure - The Port of Rotterdam is the
worlds largest seaport, and Schiphol Airport is recognized as one of the major
business hubs in Europe and has claimed over 100 international awards over the
last couple of decades. The Netherlands is also classified as one of the most wired
countries in the world, a dynamic force in electronic commerce, communications
and outsourcing.
5. Business opportunities in Netherlands
• The Ministry of Economic Affairs promotes:
• A competitive business climate. By abolishing unnecessary
regulation and creating business-friendly fiscal policy.
• Specific policy for innovation and enterprise to support businesses
in areas where it is really necessary. Additional attention is paid to
creating favourable conditions for key areas like chemicals, water
and energy.
• A world-class agri-food sector, that can be further strengthened
through investment in innovation and sustainability.
• Support for Dutch business abroad. Through economic
diplomacy, for example, and assistance from embassies and
consulates.
• Clean, reliable energy. Clean energy is not only essential, it is also a
prime export product.
• Business practices that take nature and animal welfare into
account. This creates a balance between economy and ecology.
6. Business opportunities in Netherlands
• And while they manufacture a widely diverse array of
food products, they’re all here for the same reasons.
• As a manufacturing location, the Netherlands has an
excellent selection of industrial space in key locations, a
high standard of education and worker training,
employees with an excellent work ethic and high
productivity relative to other EU nations, plus high
levels of automation and efficiency in production
processes.
• In short, you’ll find everything you need to make food
products of better quality, faster and more costefficiently.
• Taking this into consideration we like to go ahead with
the dairy product CHEESE.
7. • Second largest agricultural exporter
• One out of 10 workers has a job in the agricultural sector. The Netherlands
is the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, after
the US. With an average of 1,300 people per square mile, the Netherlands
is one of the most densely populated countries in the world.
• 7.3 million households
• The Netherlands has 7.3 million households (2.2 people per household).
On average, each family spends 14 percent of its income on food,
beverages, and tobacco. Holland is also one of the world’s wealthiest
nations, excelling at trade and high-quality financial and professional
services.
• Dairy is a cornerstone of the Dutch diet. A typical Dutch lunch consists of a
sandwich with cheese and a fresh glass of milk. The daily average dairy
consumption in the Netherlands is above that of other countries in the
European Union. Our love of dairy stems from a long tradition, as the
Dutch climate allowed pastures and cows to flourish and become a natural
part of our lives. Today, dairy farming remains one of the most important
elements of Dutch agriculture.
• 1.5 million cows
• Dairy farmers use about 60 percent of the agricultural land in the
Netherlands. Milk alone accounts for 17 percent of the production value
of Dutch agriculture. The Dutch dairy sector has 20,000 farms with nearly
1.5 million cows.
8. GDP in terms of business

11. Dutch working environment
• Labour contracts in the Netherlands
• In general, there are three labour options that differ on the employment
period and dismissal procedures. As always, specific arrangements with
the employer can be made.
• › Temporary labour contracts
• This type of contract has a pre-specified startand end date. In other words,
there is no dismissal procedure at the end of the contract.
• › Permanent labour contracts
• In this case, there is no end date. The contract can be terminated by either
the employer or the employee only under pre-determined conditions.
• › Contracts with a recruitment agency
• The recruitment agency is your legal employer even though you work for a
specific organisation. Note that there is no arrangement for your
protection against dismissal.
12. Employment Conditions
• Remuneration packages
• Salaries, holidays and bonuses are offered as a package in the
Netherlands. Yet, what you should ask for and expect depends on your
academic background and work experience. As an example:
• › For an entry-level position with a Master's degree, the monthly salary
varies between 2.300-2.500 euros gross.
• › Every May there is a bonus equivalent to 8% of annual earnings.
• › The number of vacation days is usually 24 per year. However, it is
common for companies to offer more days off as an additional incentive.
• › Some employers offer the possibility to "buy" extra days off.
• › The nation's minimum wage can be changed every six months to adjust
to inflation.
• Minimum wage in the Netherlands
• For an employee aged 23 or over in full employment, the gross minimum
wage as of January 1, 2013 is 1.469,40 per month.
13. Political Environment
• Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy with a
parliamentary system of government
• The parliament is bicameral
• The upper chamber is the senate
• The lower chamber is the house
• The executive branch is formed by the council of
ministers headed by Prime Minister.
• The council of minister is appointed and
dismissed by the monarch.
14. FDI
• Around 6,300 foreign companies have established 8,800
operations, including the likes of Coca-Cola, BASF, Cisco
Systems, Microsoft, Nike, Sabic, Siemens and Yakult.
• - The Netherlands is the eighth -largest recipient of FDI in
the world (2010). Foreign companies made inward direct
investments worth 590 billion US dollars (445 billion euros).
Foreign investors provide 15% of Dutch employment.
• The legal system is fair and transparent and well equipped
to deal with business, trade, taxation and patent issues.
There are specialized courts for dealing with criminal and
administrative issues, as well as with tax law, planning law,
environmental law and trade and commerce.
15. FDI

•
The relevant factors include a corporate income tax rate of 20 % on the
first 200,000 euros, and 25.5 % for taxable profits exceeding 200,000
euros, which is well below the EU national average.
·
Companies can benefit from an effective tax rate of only 5% for R&D
income from self-developed patented intangible assets and also from selfdeveloped unpatented intangible assets which qualify for the so-called
WBSO.
·
The Dutch ruling practice, which provides clarity and certainty on tax
assessments in advance, can be obtained on future
transactions, investments or corporate structures.
·
There is also a broad tax treaty network. The Netherlands has signed
treaties with more than 80 countries that ensure the avoidance of double
taxation on income and capital. This reduces withholding taxes on
dividends, interests and royalties (for interest and royalties, in some
cases, taxes are reduced to 0 %).
· Investors can benefit from a 30% tax break for highly qualified foreign
employees
16. FII
• The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets is the body
responsible for regulating behaviour on the financial markets in the
Netherlands. This includes regulating the behaviour of all parties involved
with the savings, loans, investment and insurance markets. It includes
regulating all organisations that provide financial products and those that
issue products, including stock exchanges.
• The AFM has the following three aims:
• making the financial markets more accessible
• promoting the smooth operation of the financial markets
• promoting confidence in the financial markets.
• The public, the business sector and the government all depend on the
financial products offered on the various markets for many of their
activities. Confidence in the orderly and honest operation of these
markets is therefore crucial.
• The AFM works in conjunction with the De Nederlandsche Bank which is
responsible for prudential regulation in the Netherlands.
17. FII
• This guideline addresses the Bank’s policy with respect to two
categories of foreign investment institutions, namely:
• foreign investment institutions subject to adequate supervision by
their home-country supervisory authority that apply for a license in
the Netherlands Antilles,
• foreign investment institutions not subject to adequate homecountry supervision that apply for a license in the Netherlands
Antilles.
• CONCLUSION
• If a foreign investment institution considers itself eligible for a
dispensation of the requirements as indicated in this policy
guideline, it should, along with its request for a license, submit a
copy of the following documents to the Investment Institutions
Supervision Department of the Bank
