  1. 1. An Institutional Analysis of Insurance Regulation - The Case of Sweden

    Author : P Göran T Hägg; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Misguided Trust; Prime Move Problem; Trust-sensitive Contracts; The Economics of Trust; The Special Interest Theory; The Public Interest Theory; Transaction Costs; Institutional Theory; Insurance Regulation; Institutions; Reputation; Quality.; Actuarial science; Försäkring ej försäkringsrätt S137 ;

    Abstract : The thesis is a broad attempt to analyse economic forces behind, and economic rationales for, institutions that constrain the organisation and operation of insurance companies. The basic task is threefold: (i) to develop institutional theory by providing an outline of a transaction cost explanation of the origin of, and the rationale for, institutions that constrain the organisation and the operation of insurance organisations; (ii) to apply our institutional theory and explain recorded institutional structures in order to make them intelligible with respect to the contractual context in which they have been nested; and (iii) to appraise the explanatory power of our institutional theory with respect to conventional economic theories on the economics of public regulation.

  2. 2. Regulating Vessel-Source Air Pollution - Standard-Setting in the Regulation of SOx Emissions

    Author : Philip Almestrand Linné; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ships; air pollution; SOx emissions; regulation; regulatory design; command and control; standard-setting; international environmental law; regulatory studies;

    Abstract : Emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) cause considerable global environmental and human health impacts including acidification, climate change, and increased premature deaths in human populations due to serious heart and lung diseases. Although recently revised regulations in MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI are expected to decrease SOx emissions from ships, it is clear that these regulations will need further development. READ MORE

  3. 3. The interactome of the yeast mitochondrial ribosome : Organization of mitochondrial post-transcriptional regulation, membrane protein insertion and quality control

    Author : Braulio Vargas Möller-Hergt; Martin Ott; Michal Minczuk; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mitochondria; mitochondrial post-transcriptional regulation; mitochondrial ribosome; membrane protein insertion; mitochondrial quality control; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The proteins found in mitochondria originate from two different genetic systems. Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and post-translationally imported into the organelle. However, a small subset of mitochondrial proteins is encoded in an organelle-resident genome. READ MORE

  4. 4. Risk-based methods for reliability investments in electric power distribution systems

    Author : Karin Alvehag; Lennart Söder; Kjølle Gerd; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Distribution system reliability; risk management; quality regulation design; customer interruption costs; weather modeling; Monte Carlo simulations; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Abstract : Society relies more and more on a continuous supply of electricity. However, while underinvestments in reliability lead to an unacceptable number of power interruptions, overinvestments result in too high costs for society. READ MORE

  5. 5. Simulation in university chemistry education : cognitive and affective aspects

    Author : Mikael Winberg; Leif Hedman; Michael Sjöström; Helge Strömdahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Simulation; knowledge accessibility; discourse quality; cognitive load; task design; affective experiences; learning; attitudes; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik;

    Abstract : This thesis undertakes two main tasks; to explore, within the authentic educational context, variables that influence the quality and outcomes of the knowledge-constructing activity during the simulation exercise; and to find appropriate instruments and methods to measure these variables, processes and outcomes. Closed-ended tasks that provided a high degree of structure, i. READ MORE
