Abstract:

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Nevertheless, the global tobacco epidemic continues to spread throughout much of the world, particularly in developing countries. Previous research suggests that smoking status may be associated with a variety of social, economic, and cultural factors. This study examines the impact of development, tobacco taxation, and tobacco prices on estimates of global adult male smoking prevalence. Data for this study was obtained from the United Nations’ Human Development Indices: A Statistical Update, 2008 and the World Health Orga

Occupational regulation is a well established, yet largely under researched, labour market institution in the UK. This thesis investigates the prevalence and impact of licensing, certification, accreditation and registration. The results indicate that occupational regulation is present across a large portion of occupations and that it can have a significant impact on wages, skills and quality.

Millions of dollars are spent each year on preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), yet the rates of chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) and neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) infection continue to be high. Health literacy and its impact have been recognized in diabetes maintenance, control of hypertension, medical adherence, and reproductive health outcomes, yet no research has been conducted regarding the relationship between health literacy and chlamydia and gonorrhea prevalence.

Climate change is a global issue and the effects on fish populations remain largely unknown. It is thought that climate change could affect fish at all levels of biological organisation, from cellular, individual, population and community.

Abstract:

Every manufactured product has an environmental impact, a social impact, and an economic impact. As engineers, we should do our best to understand how our design decisions influence these impacts (the three pillars of sustainability), and at the same time make decisions that collectively lead to maximum positive impacts, or minimum negative impacts on the economy, environment, and society. Many times, engineers show interest and want to design for all three pillars of sustainability but are often constrained to focus on the environmental and economic aspects, leaving out social sustainability

Clouds have a decisive impact on the Earth’s radiation budget and on the temperature of the atmosphere and surface. In global weather and climate models, however, cloud-radiation interaction is treated in an approximate way that contributes to the large uncertainty due to clouds in climate predictions. One of the simplifications is to only consider radiative transfer in one vertical dimension and neglect horizontal radiative transfer.

Abstract:

This work analyses the effect of the carry trade factor, statistically derived from a comprehensive basket of currencies, on currencies in various heuristically defined global risk appetite regimes. Findings of a heightened (lessened) impact of this factor for Emerging/Commodity (Developed/European) currencies in the presence of high risk are presented. The risk appetite process is additionally analysed by modelling it as a Markov-switching model, providing evidence of three inherent regimes, with properties roughly consistent with findings in the literature.

Abstract:

This thesis reports on work I carried out within the Borexino collaboration in the past three years. The main purpose of my work was to collect, analyze and understand the implications of the Borexino results in neutrino oscillation physics and in solar physics. We first studied the impact of each single piece of information coming from the Borexino experiment in determining the allowed regions of the (tan(theta_12), D m2_21) space of parameters. Concerning the neutrino oscillations field, we combined the Borexino results with those obtained by the other solar experiment (Gallex/GNO, SAGE,

Abstract:

L'ecosistema sovraglaciale è ricco di vita e ospita soprattutto numerosi microrganismi (es. batteri, alghe, funghi). A seguito del surriscaldamento globale rischiamo di perdere questa biodiversità, ed è necessario quindi studiarla ora per capire le sue dinamiche. In questa tesi di dottorato sono state quindi affrontate diverse tematiche che aiutano a colmare questo grande gap e ad ampliare la nostra conoscenza sugli ecosistemi sovraglaciali. Innanzitutto, sono state studiate le comunità batteriche delle coppette crioconitiche (piccole depressioni della superficie dei ghiacciai che contengono a
