    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of Swedish marine insurers' choices of business strategies under the potentially difficult business circumstances of the interwar period 1918-1939. Little previous research exists on marine insurance during the interwar period. READ MORE

  4. 17. Air transport liberalisation in the European community 1987-1992 : A case of integration

    Author : Robin Travis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political science; European Union; air transport; aviation; liberalisation; integration theory; game theory; neo-functionalism; intergovernmentalism; Statsvetenskap; Political science; Statsvetenskap; statskunskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : Commercial aviation in the European Community was regulated by a system based on bilateral negotiations until the late 1980s. Regulation ensured that airlines did not compete. The lack of competition conflicted with the aim of the Treaty of Rome of having a common economic market. READ MORE

  5. 18. Perceived Accessibility : Living a satisfactory life with help of the transport system

    Author : Katrin Lättman; Lars E. Olsson; Margareta Friman; Ingrid Zakrisson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Perceived accessibility; accessibility measure; transport planning; travel experience; sustainable transport; public transport; Upplevd tillgänglighet; tillgänglighetsmått; transportplanering; hållbara transporter; hållbart resande; kollektivtrafik; Psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : This thesis fills a gap in contemporary transport research and planning as it introduces perceived accessibility as a theoretical and methodological concept for incorporating the individual dimension of accessibility in current practice. Perceived accessibility is defined as “how easy it is to live a satisfactory life with the help of the transport system”, and is proposed as a complement to objective measures and understandings of accessibility.

  6. 19. A Microdata Analysis Approach to Transport Infrastructure Maintenance

    Author : Kristin Svenson; Lars Rönnegård; Karin Edvardsson; Nasir Gharaibeh; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transport Infrastructure Asset Management; Transport Infrastructure Maintenance; Statistical Modeling; Microdata Analysis; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Maintenance of transport infrastructure assets is widely advocated as the key in minimizing current and future costs of the transportation network. While effective maintenance decisions are often a result of engineering skills and practical knowledge, efficient decisions must also account for the net result over an asset's life-cycle. READ MORE

  7. 20. Phase dependent heat transport in superconducting junctions with scattering theory

    Author : Fatemeh Hajiloo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heat transport; heat conductance; scattering theory; superconducting hybrid devices; conductance fluctuations; phase dependent heat currents;

    Abstract : The operation of nanoscale devices at low temperatures is highly sensitive to heating effects. This motivates current research on controlling heat currents in these devices. READ MORE
