This article describes the meaning of circles as understood from the perspective of the electron-proton pair theory and gives some proofs why Pi should be 3.15, at least for scientists if not for ordinary people, and why the degrees around a circle should changed from 360 degrees to 315 degrees.

The project “Evaluating Policies for Sustainable Energy Investments: towards an integrated approach on national and international stage” (EPSEI) aims at improving the integration of methodologies and tools concerning the evaluation of investments for sustainable energy.

Fundamental trends in the European Union and the world at large provide an increasingly important policy agenda for financing sustainable energy in terms of energy efficiency, innovation in energy exploitation and development of renewable resources. The long-range forecasts for investments and energy market are determined by highly interconnected environmental, geological and technological research despite scientific differences in modelling the scenarios and interpreting the data. The medium-range forecasts for investments and energy market largely depend on geopolitical considerations and internal pressure by public opinion and stakeholders. States, firms and other actors play their game within the current legal framework at the international, regional and national level. Accordingly, the proper policy design for the sustainable energy needs to be complemented by research on the legal, regulatory and geopolitical side.
However, the characteristics of social sciences which drive their approach to such issues are determined by their fragmentation into sectoral domains and national traditions. It is commonly agreed that there are great benefits in overcoming the disciplinary divisions combining scientific, social and economic considerations in order to assess the policy impact of sustainable energy. The evaluation of the policies for sustainable energy investments requires to connect several
national approaches on such topics, not only in Europe, where the fragmentation of social sciences into national traditions is a matter of fact. In turn, the global nature of the questions addressed by the project needs to be implemented through an IRSES programme in order to strengthen the research partnerships between European research organisations and research organisations from crucial world regions as far as European interests for energy matters are concerned.

A molecular modeling study was conducted on a series of six natural occurring chlorophylls. Quantum chemistry calculated orbital energies were used to estimate frequency of transitions between occupied molecular orbital and unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of chlorophyll molecules in vivo conditions in standard (ASTMG173) environmental conditions. Obtained results are in good agreement with energies necessary to fix the Magnesium atom by chlorophyll molecules and with occurrence of chlorophylls in living vegetal organisms.

This paper, which prepared for the 3rd UNITAR-Yale Conference on Environmental Governance and Democracy, 5-7 September 2014, New Haven, USA, examines the paradoxical relationship between the new Hungarian Constitution (Fundamental Law) and the inefficient Hungarian environmental policy, and also referring to the fundamental role of international (and EU) environmental law in the Hungarian environmental policy. This paper proposes the hypothesis – with the demonstration of the case of Hungary – that in the 21. century procedural environmental rights, under the concept of environmental democracy, are essential factors of environmental issues: on one side these rights are part of the (customary) international law, and on the other side they need to be incorporated into the constitutional system. The new Hungarian constitutional system (adopted in 2011), in spite of having the new green values incorporated, does not seem to be concerned about the procedural environmental rights. The main pillars of environmental democracy (access to information, public participation, and access to justice) have not been incorporated into the Constitution. Although constitutional environmental rights are the ultimate drivers for enhancing environmental policy, without the guarantee of procedural environmental rights this development may be way too weak. Currently the Hungarian environmental policy is under no civilian and/or professional control by the political community. Without procedural rights the constitutional environmental rights cannot work constitutionally. It will be argued here that the environmental democracy is based on communicative political structure and policies. This communicative structure is almost entirely missing from the Hungarian political sphere. The strong constitutional bases are far less than enough to develop Hungarian environmental goals and policies. The procedural side of environmental democracy and the effective deliberative political structure need to be enhanced in Hungary.
