Abstract:

This study examined the effects of behavior change on psychological health among gay and bisexual men of Portland, Oregon who were at risk for contracting AIDS. Cross-sectional self-reports of personal experiences were obtained in Summer, 1991. Sexual behaviors were used as predictors of self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, and subjective well-being. Adopting safer sexual behaviors was psychologically more costly than continuing to engage in high risk behaviors, or long-term adherence to safer behaviors. Behaviors amenable to short-term change differed from those conducive to long-term maintena

Abstract:

The airline industry has been the subject of numerous studies both before and after deregulation. None of these, however have explicitly modelled the cost savings due to deregulation. This thesis develops a number of testable hypotheses about technological and managerial choice as they pertain to regulatory reform. The results of the tests show that the production technology the airlines developed post-deregulation is not unambiguously more efficient than the pre-deregulatoin technology. The unregulated output and network structure, however, appear to be more efficient than those utilized duri

Abstract:

This thesis analyses transaction costs emergence and impact within the Nicaraguan coffee istry under the Sandinista Regime (1979-1990). It is argued that traditional transaction cost economics requires adjustment to be successfiilly applied in developing countries since it gnores the role of governmental policies and institutional change. Although North linked transaction costs to economic development theories, it is yet not clear how these influence particular industrial an:angements. A framework combining Williamson's and North's theories is therefore devised to explain industry evolution in

Abstract:

Flexible pavements are environmentally sensitive elements of infrastructure and their performance can be influenced by climate. Climate change poses a challenge to design and management of flexible pavements in the future. Climate change can occur worldwide and thus all flexible pavements can be exposed to the impact. However, an assessment framework is not available to evaluate the impact of climate change on flexible pavements in terms of performance, maintenance decision-making and the subsequent life-cycle costs (LCC). This research has attempted to develop such a framework. Case studies o

In the face of stagnation in efforts to tackle the global increase of greenhouse gas emissions, there is a great need to broaden our understanding of normative processes that maintain and change social norms in relation to environmentally (un)sustainable lifestyles. My research aims to address this gap in the literature by examining the normative processes associated with climate change.

Abstract:

In order to make an informed decision on the optimal reduction in greenhouse gas emissions it is necessary to understand fully the damage costs of climate change. However, current modelling techniques fail to provide adequate emphasis on important components of the costs and benefits of avoided climate change. This approach risks over or underestimating true damage costs. Disregard for the amenity value that climate may hold and assumptions that restrict geographic mobility and determine the rate of social discounting may all contribute to significant error.

Abstract:

This study examines, comparatively, the effects of Zambia's post-colonial (1975 and 1995) land policy reforms on the urban land market transactions. It focuses on land delivery, land transfer and exchange, and land valuation and pricing. The central thesis of the study is that land policy reforms matter even for the urban land market. Proceeding from this premise, the study conceptualises the effects of land policy on the land market as one set of institutions (namely, land policy reforms) modifying or radically restructuring (and, hence, impacting on) the other set of institutions (viz. prope

Urban environments have been identified as a non-point source contributor of nutrient loadings into watersheds.

However, there are few studies that provide a predictive framework for abating nutrient loadings under CC. Thus, there is a lack of information regarding how effecti

Abstract:

<p>Utsikterna att kunna genomföra en återstart av de två små vattenkraftverk som behandlas i denna rapport år goda. Förutsättningarna är gynnsamma i så måtto att planerna för återstarten ligger väl i linje med praxis som etablerats genom avgöranden i de högre rättsliga instanserna gällande liknande fall. Ägaren planerar att driva verksamheten i stort sett så som den ursprungligen bedrevs, vilket visat sig betydelsefullt för att få återupptag av nedlagd vattenkraftverksamhet godkänt Dessa kraftverk är små, väldigt små. Detta betyder att investeringskostnaderna måste minimeras om det skall finns

Abstract:

Möjligheter att förbättra Hofpartner ABs beräkningsmall för rullaxlar har undersökts. Undersökningen har fokuserat på användarvänlighet, ekonomi samt hållfasthet. Målet var att göra mallen mer lättanvänd. Nuvarande mall undersöks med resultat att den är väldigt svår att följa samt att dess värden inte överensstämmer särskilt bra med verkligheten i de flesta avseenden. Arbetet koncentreras därmed på att identifiera de existerande problemen och att åtgärda dem. Mallens funktioner utvärderas och beslut fattas om att reducera mallen till att endast hantera information som regelbundet används av fö

Abstract:

La compréhension des interactions qui associent les plantes et les microorganismes du sol est une étape incontournable pour une gestion durable de nos écosystèmes notamment en agriculture. Parmi les services écosystémiques résultant de leurs interactions, on peut citer la productivité végétale répondant, en partie, aux besoins alimentaires de la population mondiale et la régulation des cycles biogéochimiques. Les services écosystémiques, qui émergent de telles interactions, reposent sur des liens trophiques pouvant être représentés par un compromis entre coûts et bénéfices pour les différents

Abstract:

This dissertation examines rural families responses to global and local situations that have made earning a livelihood as a farmer very difficult. Drawing from original research, including a household livelihood census of 195 households, interviews with 72 people, participant observation, and archival research, the dissertation explores how rural families have responded to declines in domestic agricultural markets fueled by global and national forces and local environmental change. It asks: what impact will small farming families responses to these forces of change have on peoples identities a
