2. 1. Choosing environmental policy instruments : Case studies of municipal waste policy in Sweden and England

   Author : Åsa Maria Persson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : municipal waste policy; environmental policy instruments; environmental policy; Sweden; England;

   Abstract : European governments have during the last couple of decades shown an interest in new types of environmental policy instruments (EPIs) such as environmental taxes, tradable permit schemes and voluntary approaches, as opposed to relying on traditional forms of regulation. The interest in so-called ‘new’ EPIs (NEPIs) has led many governments to commit both to a more diverse EPI mix and to a policy process characterised by procedural rationality, in terms of considering a wide range ofalternative instruments and assessing them in a systematic and transparent way.

4. 2. Optics for Earth Observation Instruments

   Author : Arvid Hammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; off-axis; free-form mirrors; measurements; stray light; spline horns; THz; reflector optics; satellites; scientific instruments; diamond turning; tolerancing; telescopes;

   Abstract : The optical system is an essential part of every remote sensing instrument used for detecting electromagnetic waves. Careful design, fabrication and characterization is therefore crucial, especially for satellite-borne missions where the possibility of post-launch repairs is highly limited. READ MORE

5. 3. Precision measurement instruments for machinery's mechanical compliance: design and operation : Measurement instruments for physics-based calibration of advanced manufacturing machinery

   Author : Nikolas Alexander Theissen; Andreas Archenti; Alexander Slocum; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Measurement instruments; Machine tools; Industrial robots; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

   Abstract :  Precision Measurement Instruments (PMIs) for machinery’s mechanical compliance are tools to quantify mechanical load as well as length for measurement ranges of 0.1 µm to 10 m at uncertainty levels of 0.1 µm to 100 µm while exerting mechanical loads. READ MORE

6. 4. On the instruments of governance : a law & economics study of capital instruments in limited liability companies

   Author : Robert Sevenius; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem;

   Abstract : The foundation of this thesis is the connection between corporate finance and corporate governance. Corporate finance has predominantly been analysed by financial economics models and thereby not recognised significant intrinsic features of the capital instrument design. READ MORE

7. 5. Energy based surgical instruments : With particular focus on collateral thermal injury

   Author : Johan Carlander; Kenth Johansson; Leif Bergkvist; Oliver Gimm; Martin Almquist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Iatrogenic post-operative nerve dysfunction is a significant problem in many areas of surgery and can be caused by collateral thermal injury from activation of energy based surgical devices (EBD).The aims of this thesis were to: create an animal model in order to compare mono- and bipolar electrosurgery (ES) and an ultrasonic dissection (UD) with regard to collateral thermal nerve injury, and with data of a national multicenter register to study the use of EBD and their potential effects on operation time and complication rates in thyroid surgery.
