This model of the constitutional economics is based on the understanding that it is necessary to narrow the gap between practical enforcement of the economic, social, and political rights granted by the constitution and the annual (or midterm) economic policy, budget legislation and administrative policies conducted by the government. In 2006, the Russian Academy of Sciences officially recognized constitutional economics as a separate academic sub- discipline.Peter Barenboim, Natalya Merkulova.

It also promotes volunteer work and other activities that increase social cohesion, in part by awarding of the "Mein gutes Beispiel" (My Best Practice) prize. Social justice and intergenerational equity are also important concerns, and one of the reasons the foundation addresses these subjects is to narrow the gap between rich and poor. The Bertelsmann Foundation wants to promote social integration and diversity.

MFGM supplementation in infancy is hypothesized to have programming effects that may influence circulating lipid levels later in life. Breastfed infants are known to have a higher total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol than formula-fed infants in infancy, but lower levels in adulthood. A clinical study in infants has suggested that MFGM supplementation could narrow the gap between breastfed and formula-fed infants with regard to serum lipid status. Specifically, as compared with a control formula, infants receiving MFGM-supplemented formula had higher total serum cholesterol until 6 months of age, similar to breastfed infants.

A victory for Tipp would put them one title ahead yet again, while a victory for Kilkenny would give them their 18th All-Ireland title and would narrow the gap between them and the other two big teams in hurling's trinity.

Centralized authority was not abandoned, however, as evidenced by the creation of the State Education Commission. Academically, the goals of reform were to enhance and universalize elementary and junior middle school education; to increase the number of schools and qualified teachers, and to develop vocational and technical education.

Conga drums In the 1990s, most groups maintained the five-man lineup of accordion, sax, tambora, güira, and bass guitar, though a few new innovations have been made. Some modern band leaders have also added congas, timbales (played by the tamborero), and keyboards to their groups in an attempt to reach a wider audience and narrow the gap between the típico and orquesta styles. The most popular artist at present is El Prodigio, a young accordionist who is respected among típico musicians of all ages. Though he has become famous for recording his own compositions in a modern style, he is also able to perform all the "standards" of the traditional típico repertoire and is a talented, jazzy improviser.

Third-placed Notts County beat Small Heath 3–1 to narrow the gap between the clubs to just one point. Charles Partridge, making his Football League debut after Hollis was taken ill, played behind an experimental defensive pairing of half-back Ted Devey and reserve- team player George Short. Despite the scoreline, the Nottinghamshire Guardian described them as "a very useful pair of backs", although not up to the home team's standard, and the Daily Post rated Devey as "easily the best left-back the club have played this season". Two of Notts' goals were fortunate: an attempted clearance by Devey ricocheted off Jenkyns' head for their second goal, and for their third, the ball appeared to be heading safely over the crossbar until caught by a gust of wind.

Although the subcontinent enjoyed economic prosperity during the Mughal era, growth steadily declined during the British colonial period. Since independence, economic growth has meant an increase in average income of about 150 percent from 1950–96, But Pakistan like many other developing countries, has not been able to narrow the gap between itself and rich industrial nations, which have grown faster on a per head basis. Per capita GNP growth rate from 1985–95 was only 1.2 percent per annum, substantially lower than India (3.2), Bangladesh (2.1), and Sri Lanka (2.6).Learning from the Past: A Fifty-year Perspective on Pakistan’s Development The inflation rate in Pakistan has averaged 7.99 percent from 1957 until 2015, reaching an all-time high of 37.81 percent in December 1973 and a record low of -10.32 percent in February 1959.

In addition, it is strictly forbidden to link the donated funds to the enrollment of students. The opinion also points out that the fundamental measures to solve the problem of school selection and unreasonable charging are to speed up the adjustment of school layout and attach importance to the construction of weak schools. These measures can narrow the gap between schools and thus implement the policy of “nearby enrollment”in a fundamental sense. since then, in the stipulations of the various policy documents issued by the Ministry of Education, the principle of “free admission to the nearest school” in the primary school and junior high school has been repeatedly mentioned and emphasized. On June 29, 2006, at the 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People's Congress, the revised “Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China” further restricts the “nearby”.

In early works like It’s a Wonderful Life, 1986 [named after the 1946 Frank Capra film], Lemieux incorporated multiple forms of popular media to create a narrative in the form of self-doubt, personal vulnerability, along with an awareness of the absurdist political/religious/economic histories we accumulate as a civilization in a never-ending current. Following the legacies of Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage, she works to narrow the gap between “art” and “life”. Lemieux's works resist the traps of a “signature style,” and she has referred to her shows looking more like group shows rather than a single artist's. Her work surprises us, challenges her audience to keep up, and resists the conformity of the brand. As stated by Peggy Phelan, “For Lemieux, the art object offers her thoughts and feelings a way to travel . . . Art is her way of responding, both publicly and intimately, to the ongoing predicament of our lives”.

According to Yasukatsu Matsushima, Professor of Ryukoku University and the representative of the civil group "Yuimarle Ryukyu no Jichi" ("autonomy of Ryukyu"), the 1879 annexation was illegal and cannot be justified on either moral grounds or international law, as the Ryukyu government and people did not agree to join Japan and there is no existing treaty transferring sovereignty to Japan. He notes that the Kingdom of Hawaii was in a similar position, at least the U.S. admitted illegality and issued an apology in 1992, but Japan has never apologized or considered compensation. Japan and the United States are both responsible for the colonial status of Okinawa - used first as a trade negotiator with China, later as a place to fight battles or establish military bases. After the 1972 return to Japan, the government economic plans to narrow the gap between Japanese and Okinawans were opportunistically abused by the Japanese enterprises of construction, tourism, and media which restricted living space on the island, and many Okinawans continue to work as seasonal workers, with low wages while women were overworked and underpaid.

NanGate addresses this gap by providing the IC designer with a range of software products that allow him to specify and create new standard cells with custom transistor layout in an automated manner. The IC designer can thereby augment and optimize the cell library used to implement the IC. This process of growing and tweaking the cell library enables higher performance, lower die area and lower power consumption which serve to narrow the gap between the standard-cell and full-custom design methodologies. This patent-protected technology is core to NanGate's range of software products. During 2004-2006, the NanGate team worked on developing a library creation platform with built-in automation for layout creation and library characterization (the process of SPICE simulating the extracted circuit netlist with parasitics and building a model used for static timing analysis). This resulted in two software products, NanGate Library Creator(TM) and Nangate Library Characterizer(TM), the prototype versions of which were introduced at the annual Design Automation Conference in 2005 and the first official releases of the two products the following year, DAC-2006. Nangate Library Characterizer(TM) got on John Cooley’s best-of-DAC 2006 list.
