A numerical treatment of non-linear higher-order geometric evolution equations with the level set and the finite element method is presented. The isotropic, weak anisotropic and strong anisotropic situation is discussed. Most of the equations considered in this work arise from the field of thin film growth. A short introduction to the subject is given. Four different models are discussed: mean curvature flow, surface diffusion, a kinetic model, which combines the effects of mean curvature flow and surface diffusion and includes a further kinetic component, and an adatom model, which incorporates in addition free adatoms. As an introduction to the numerical schemes, first the isotropic and weak anisotropic situation is considered. Then strong anisotropies (non-convex anisotropies) are used to simulate the phenomena of faceting and coarsening. The experimentally observed effect of corner and edge roundings is reached in the simulation through the regularization of the strong anisotropy with a higher-order curvature term. The curvature regularization leads to an increase by two in the order of the equations, which results in highly non-linear equations of up to 6th order. For the numerical solution, the equations are transformed into systems of second order equations, which are solved with a Schur complement approach. The adatom model constitutes a diffusion equation on a moving surface. An operator splitting approach is used for the numerical solution. In difference to other works, which restrict to the isotropic situation, also the anisotropic situation is discussed and solved numerically. Furthermore, a treatment of geometric evolution equations on implicitly given curved surfaces with the level set method is given. In particular, the numerical solution of surface diffusion on curved surfaces is presented. The equations are discretized in space by standard linear finite elements. For the time discretization a semi-implicit discretization scheme is employed. The derivation of the numerical schemes is presented in detail, and numerous computational results are given for the 2D and 3D situation. To keep computational costs low, the finite element grid is adaptively refined near the moving curves and surfaces resp. A redistancing algorithm based on a local Hopf-Lax formula is used. The algorithm has been extended by the authors to the 3D case. A detailed description of the algorithm in 3D is presented in this workIn der Arbeit geht es um die numerische Behandlung nicht-linearer geometrischer Evolutionsgleichungen höherer Ordnung mit Levelset- und Finite-Elemente-Verfahren.

Eine kurze Einführung in dieses Gebiet wird gegeben. Es werden vier verschiedene Modelle diskutiert: mittlerer Krümmungsfluss, Oberflächendiffusion, ein kinetisches Modell, welches die Effekte des mittleren Krümmungsflusses und der Oberflächendiffusion kombiniert und zusätzlich eine kinetische Komponente beinhaltet, und ein Adatom-Modell, welches außerdem freie Adatome berücksichtigt. Als Einführung in die numerischen Schemata, wird zuerst der isotrope und schwach anisotrope Fall betrachtet. Anschließend werden starke Anisotropien (nicht-konvexe Anisotropien) benutzt, um Facettierungs- und Vergröberungsphänomene zu simulieren. Der in Experimenten beobachtete Effekt der Ecken- und Kanten-Abrundung wird in der Simulation durch die Regularisierung der starken Anisotropie durch einen Krümmungsterm höherer Ordnung erreicht. Die Krümmungsregularisierung führt zu einer Erhöhung der Ordnung der Gleichung um zwei, was hochgradig nicht-lineare Gleichungen von bis zu sechster Ordnung ergibt. Für die numerische Lösung werden die Gleichungen auf Systeme zweiter Ordnungsgleichungen transformiert, welche mit einem Schurkomplement-Ansatz gelöst werden.

Full textAbstract:
The prescription of R. M. Wald for determining a thermodynamic first law for stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat black holes in general theories of gravity is applied to the effective Lagrangian for the bosonic sector of low-energy heterotic super-string theory. It is found that the presence of the gauge fields necessitates an alteration of the prescription. Specifically, the Lie derivatives with respect to the Killing vector of the gauge fields are non-vanishing. This introduces new terms which ensure gauge-invariance of the final result in a natural way.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is two-fold. The first goal is to qualitatively explore what ethics is and how companies can create a lasting culture of ethics. I explore the meanings of ethics, corporate ethics, and the responsibilities that companies have to shareholders and the public. The second goal is to demonstrate how a culture of ethics can help to prevent product recalls by creating a control environment that catches potentially dangerous products before they leave the facility. This is achieved through an analysis of three case studies: 1) Johnson & Johnson’s response to the Chicago Tylenol Murders of 1982, 2) Peanut Corporation of America’s response to its peanut butter recalls in 2009, and 3) Toyota Motor Corp’s response to the recalls of 2009-2011. The paper concludes by discussing trends in product safety over the last forty years and explaining why business ethics are an economic imperative, not just in preventing product recalls but also in protecting consumers.

Le système dynamique Chaos Game Representation associe à une suite de lettres dans un alphabet fini, une mesure empirique sur un ensemble. Fournit-elle plus d'information que les méthodes de comptage de mots classiques ? A partir d'une caractérisation basée sur la CGR, on propose une nouvelle famille de tests donnant l'ordre d'une chaîne de Markov homogène. On définit ensuite une construction d'arbres digitaux de recherche, inspirés par la CGR, en insérant successivement les préfixes retournés d'une chaîne de Markov. On montre que les longueurs des branches critiques se comportent, au premier ordre, comme si les séquences insérées étaient indépendantes entre elles. La dernière partie est consacrée à l'étude de la convergence presque sûre des moments normalisés de tout ordre de martingales vectorielles dans le théorème de la limite centrale presque sûr. Les résultats sont appliqués aux erreurs d'estimation et de prédiction dans les régressions linéaires et les processus de branchementThe Chaos Game Representation is a dynamical system which maps a sequence of letters taken from a finite alphabet onto an empirical measure on a set. We show how the CGR can be used to characterize the order of an homogeneous Markov chain and to define a new family of tests. Then we propose a construction of Digital Search Trees, inspired from the CGR, by successively inserting all the returned prefixes of a Markov chain. We give the asymptotic behavior of the critical lengths of paths, which turns out to be, at first order, the same one as in the case of DST built from independent Markov chains. A last part deals with properties of almost sure convergence of vectorial martingales. Under suitable regularity conditions on the growing process, we establish the convergence of normalized moments of all orders in the almost sure central limit theorem. The results are applied to the cumulated errors of estimation and prediction in linear regression models and branching processes

Auld, Kathleen Gwynneth. "Sustainable Development of Small-Scale Fisheries and the Need for Strong Measures to Protect Small-Scale Fisheries in International Trade Law." Doctoral thesis, Faculty of Law, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/33429.
Full textAbstract:
The small-scale fisheries sector makes a valuable contribution to livelihoods and food security, particularly in under-resourced countries. Yet small-scale fishers and fishing communities are often vulnerable and marginalised, and the small-scale sector is largely ignored by governments providing subsidies to their fishing industries. Provisions seeking to ban harmful fisheries subsidies are now the subject of several large international trade agreements and negotiations. While this is a laudable and necessary goal, the binding nature and robust enforcement mechanisms of trade agreements make it imperative that small-scale fisheries are protected and provided for in these agreements in the interests of sustainable development and poverty reduction. The thesis considers how this can be achieved. In order to determine what would best serve the interests of small-scale fisheries in trade agreements, the thesis creates a framework of development needs, which underpins the analysis in the remainder of the thesis. This analysis revolves around three large trade agreements and negotiations containing provisions on fisheries subsidies – namely the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Drawing on the development framework, the thesis identifies a number of shortcomings in these agreements when it comes to protections for small-scale fisheries, including a lack of provision for important development needs and a failure to achieve an appropriate balance between development and sustainability considerations. The thesis also considers potential problems that could arise in the conclusion and enforcement of trade agreements dealing with fisheries subsidies, particularly as these relate to small-scale fisheries and sustainable development. Based on this analysis, the thesis makes a number of recommendations to be incorporated in trade agreements going forward that would adequately protect and promote the interests of small-scale fisheries, while not losing sight of sustainability concerns and the practical realities of negotiating complex international trade agreements. These include, inter alia, exemptions for important social assistance subsidies, better representation and transparency, and measures to improve equity between the small-scale sector and other fishing sectors.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude des propriétés de convergence forte du schéma de Ninomiya et Victoir. Les auteurs de ce schéma proposent d'approcher la solution d'une équation différentielle stochastique (EDS), notée $X$, en résolvant $d+1$ équations différentielles ordinaires (EDOs) sur chaque pas de temps, où $d$ est la dimension du mouvement brownien. Le but de cette étude est d'analyser l'utilisation de ce schéma dans une méthode de Monte-Carlo multi-pas. En effet, la complexité optimale de cette méthode est dirigée par l'ordre de convergence vers $0$ de la variance entre les schémas utilisés sur la grille grossière et sur la grille fine. Cet ordre de convergence est lui-même lié à l'ordre de convergence fort entre les deux schémas. Nous montrons alors dans le chapitre $2$, que l'ordre fort du schéma de Ninomiya-Victoir, noté $X^{NV,eta}$ et de pas de temps $T/N$, est $1/2$. Récemment, Giles et Szpruch ont proposé un estimateur Monte-Carlo multi-pas réalisant une complexité $Oleft(epsilon^{-2}right)$ à l'aide d'un schéma de Milstein modifié. Dans le même esprit, nous proposons un schéma de Ninomiya-Victoir modifié qui peut-être couplé à l'ordre fort $1$ avec le schéma de Giles et Szpruch au dernier niveau d'une méthode de Monte-Carlo multi-pas. Cette idée est inspirée de Debrabant et Rossler. Ces auteurs suggèrent d'utiliser un schéma d'ordre faible élevé au niveau de discrétisation le plus fin. Puisque le nombre optimal de niveaux de discrétisation d'une méthode de Monte-Carlo multi-pas est dirigé par l'erreur faible du schéma utilisé sur la grille fine du dernier niveau de discrétisation, cette technique permet d'accélérer la convergence de la méthode Monte-Carlo multi-pas en obtenant une approximation d'ordre faible élevé. L'utilisation du couplage à l'ordre $1$ avec le schéma de Giles-Szpruch nous permet ainsi de garder un estimateur Monte-Carlo multi-pas réalisant une complexité optimale $Oleft( epsilon^{-2} right)$ tout en profitant de l'erreur faible d'ordre $2$ du schéma de Ninomiya-Victoir. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'erreur renormalisée définie par $sqrt{N}left(X - X^{NV,eta}right)$. Nous montrons la convergence en loi stable vers la solution d'une EDS affine, dont le terme source est formé des crochets de Lie entre les champs de vecteurs browniens. Ainsi, lorsqu'au moins deux champs de vecteurs browniens ne commutent pas, la limite n'est pas triviale. Ce qui assure que l'ordre fort $1/2$ est optimal. D'autre part, ce résultat peut être vu comme une première étape en vue de prouver un théorème de la limite centrale pour les estimateurs Monte-Carlo multi-pas. Pour cela, il faut analyser l'erreur en loi stable du schéma entre deux niveaux de discrétisation successifs. Ben Alaya et Kebaier ont prouvé un tel résultat pour le schéma d'Euler. Lorsque les champs de vecteurs browniens commutent, le processus limite est nul. Nous montrons que dans ce cas précis, que l'ordre fort est $1$. Dans le chapitre 4, nous étudions la convergence en loi stable de l'erreur renormalisée $Nleft(X - X^{NV}right)$ où $X^{NV}$ est le schéma de Ninomiya-Victoir lorsque les champs de vecteurs browniens commutent. Nous démontrons la convergence du processus d'erreur renormalisé vers la solution d'une EDS affine. Lorsque le champ de vecteurs dritf ne commute pas avec au moins un des champs de vecteurs browniens, la vitesse de convergence forte obtenue précédemment est optimaleThis thesis is dedicated to the study of the strong convergence properties of the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme, which is based on the resolution of $d+1$ ordinary differential equations (ODEs) at each time step, to approximate the solution to a stochastic differential equation (SDE), where $d$ is the dimension of the Brownian. This study is aimed at analysing the use of this scheme in a multilevel Monte Carlo estimator. Indeed, the optimal complexity of this method is driven by the order of convergence to zero of the variance between the two schemes used on the coarse and fine grids at each level, which is related to the strong convergence order between the two schemes. In the second chapter, we prove strong convergence with order $1/2$ of the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme $X^{NV,eta}$, with time step $T/N$, to the solution $X$ of the limiting SDE. Recently, Giles and Szpruch proposed a modified Milstein scheme and its antithetic version, based on the swapping of each successive pair of Brownian increments in the scheme, permitting to construct a multilevel Monte Carlo estimator achieving the optimal complexity $Oleft(epsilon^{-2}right)$ for the precision $epsilon$, as in a simple Monte Carlo method with independent and identically distributed unbiased random variables. In the same spirit, we propose a modified Ninomiya-Victoir scheme, which may be strongly coupled with order $1$ to the Giles-Szpruch scheme at the finest level of a multilevel Monte Carlo estimator. This idea is inspired by Debrabant and R"ossler who suggest to use a scheme with high order of weak convergence on the finest grid at the finest level of the multilevel Monte Carlo method. As the optimal number of discretization levels is related to the weak order of the scheme used in the finest grid at the finest level, Debrabant and R"ossler manage to reduce the computational time, by decreasing the number of discretization levels. The coupling with the Giles-Szpruch scheme allows us to combine both ideas. By this way, we preserve the optimal complexity $Oleft(epsilon^{-2}right)$ and we reduce the computational time, since the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme is known to exhibit weak convergence with order 2. In the third chapter, we check that the normalized error defined by $sqrt{N}left(X - X^{NV,eta}right)$ converges to an affine SDE with source terms involving the Lie brackets between the Brownian vector fields. This result ensures that the strong convergence rate is actually $1/2$ when at least two Brownian vector fields do not commute. To link this result to the multilevel Monte Carlo estimator, it can be seen as a first step to adapt to the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme the central limit theorem of Lindeberg Feller type, derived recently by Ben Alaya and Kebaier for the multilevel Monte Carlo estimator based on the Euler scheme. When the Brownian vector fields commute, the limit vanishes. We then prove strong convergence with order $1$ in this case. The fourth chapter deals with the convergence of the normalized error process $Nleft(X - X^{NV}right)$, where $X^{NV}$ is the Ninomiya-Victoir in the commutative case. We prove its stable convergence in law to an affine SDE with source terms involving the Lie brackets between the Brownian vector fields and the drift vector field. This result ensures that the strong convergence rate is actually $1$ when the Brownian vector fields commute, but at least one of them does not commute with the Stratonovich drift vector field

Full textAbstract:
The ‡Khomani San people received lands in 1999 under the ‘restitution’ arm of South Africa’s land reform programme. Restitution laws, contained in the Restitution of Land Rights Act and the Communal Property Associations (‘CPA’) Act, seek not only to return lands to peoples dispossessed after 1913, but also to inculcate the ideals of South Africa’s dominant agro-pastoral-based society into defined, cohesive land-recipient ‘communities’. These ideals include centralised, hierarchical, representative, democratic leadership and decision-making structures that the West takes for granted. However, these concepts of control are not typically found among foraging or post-foraging peoples, who tend to base their societies on decentralised, small-group, egalitarian social structures that strongly oppose hierarchies, representation, or accumulation. Such social organisation remains intact even after these groups become settled or adopt non-hunting-and-gathering livelihoods, and today’s ‡Khomani self-identify as San, ‘Bushmen’, hunters, and indigenous people, despite their settlement and their adoption of varied livelihood strategies, including stock-farming. Among such groups, externally imposed governance structures tend to be viewed as illegitimate, and instead of the cohesion and order these centrally legislated structures seek to create, they instead engender dissent, conflict, and non-compliance. The ‡Khomani, as both a formerly scattered group of apartheid-era labourers and a cultural group of San people, have struggled with little success to plan and implement ‘development’, infrastructure, and livelihood projects on their lands and have ‘failed’ to operate the Restitution and CPA Acts’ required ‘community’ land-ownership and decision-making structures successfully. Thus, restitution has failed to bring the socio-economic improvements that the new ‡Khomani lands seemed to promise. Since 2008, however, the government has temporarily taken governance and approval authority from the ‡Khomani, which has led to the creation of smaller, behind-the-scenes governing bodies, as the ‡Khomani have begun taking the reins of power in their own ways. Such bodies, including the ‡Khomani Farmers’ Association and the Bushman Raad, have begun achieving some successes on the ‡Khomani farms in part, it is argued, because they allow the ‡Khomani to reproduce the focused, non-hierarchical, small-group structures that are more suitable to them as a non-cohesive group and more culturally appropriate to them as San people. The South African government, with appropriate protections for abuse of power, should provide the space within land reform laws to allow land-recipient groups to make decisions, govern themselves, and manage their lands according to their own community realities and their own conceptions of leadership and social organisation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines whether and how the EU counter-terrorism (CT) policy reconciles the demands of security with adequate protection of human rights. It starts from the assumption that human rights and security are mutually reinforcing and interdependent objectives in the CT fight where the erosion of one objective leads automatically to negative consequences in respect of the other objective. It specifically argues that the reconciliation of these two objectives has to be addressed at two distinct levels: first, in the framework of the EU primary law and, second, in the content of each EU CT provision. Consequently, the thesis examines both levels in order to respond to the research question. In the course of this investigation, the research has demonstrated that the legal framework resulting from the Treaty of Lisbon provides a basis for better addressing the human rights protection and security objectives of the EU CT policy. However, the analysis of three specific instruments – two in force and one at the level of a legislative proposal – provided contrasting results regarding the simultaneous fulfilment of the two imperatives outlined above. Moving beyond questions pertaining to the advancement of preventive criminal law and the possible reinforcement of a surveillance society, the thesis advances the hypothesis that, in the field, we are confronted more and more with what we could term ‘grey laws’ – following Dyzenhaus, Lynch and Reilly – due to their frailties as regards the tests of proportionality and legal certainty. Moreover, the thesis explores the EU’s stance as an actor in the field and the applicability of Wallace’s ‘pendulum model’ for CT decision-making, as well as the position of an individual subject to all the three measures indicated above. Solutions in order to overcome the identified shortcomings as well as further potential areas of research are also explored.

Además de su escasa respuesta al tratamiento fibrinolítico endovenoso, cosa que implica un peor pronóstico funcional a largo plazo, en su planteamiento terapéutico compiten dos conceptos que requieren un manejo prácticamente opuesto: por un lado, establecer y mantener la permeabilidad de la ACI y, por el otro, evitar la transformación hemorrágica cerebral, una de las principales causas de deterioro neurológico precoz y de mal pronóstico funcional.
Métodos: Estudio observacional prospectivo en el que se incluyeron pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron de un ictus isquémico secundario a una oclusión en tándem y que fueron sometidos a tratamiento endovascular hiperagudo con acción directa sobre la ACI extracraneal mediante stenting (con stent balón-expandible [BX] o auto-expandible [SX] en función del periodo de estudio) o angioplastia con balón. El objetivo principal del estudio fue una variable combinada positiva compuesta por ausencia de reoclusión o restenosis de alto grado de la ACI (eficacia) y ausencia de transformación hemorrágica (seguridad) a las 24 horas del procedimiento endovascular. Los objetivos secundarios incluyeron eficacia, seguridad, variables de evolución clínica y mal pronóstico funcional (puntuación en la modified Rankin Scale >2) a los 90 días tras el ictus. Se realizó un sub-análisis preespecificado para valorar diferencias entre los stents BX y SX.
Resultados: Se incluyeron 113 pacientes en el estudio. Aquellos pacientes a los que se les realizó stenting durante el procedimiento endovascular hiperagudo presentaron una mayor frecuencia de la variable combinada positiva (65’3% frente a 19’5%, P< 0’001) y una menor tasa de reoclusión o restenosis de la ACI extracraneal a las 24 horas (22’2% frente a 80’5%, P< 0.001) que aquellos tratados con angioplastia con balón. Sin embargo, la frecuencia de transformación hemorrágica, transformación hemorrágica sintomática, mejoría neurológica precoz, deterioro neurológico precoz y mal pronóstico funcional fueron similares entre ambos grupos. La reoclusión o restenosis de alto grado de la ACI extracraneal a las 24 horas del procedimiento endovascular es un predictor independiente de mal pronóstico funcional (OR 5’76, IC al 95% 1’10-14’22). En el grupo de stents BX, los pacientes tuvieron una tasa menor de deterioro neurológico precoz, (3’4% frente a 23’3%, P=0’041) y una tendencia a presentar una menor frecuencia de transformación hemorrágica sintomática (3’4% frente a 16’3%, P=0’069) respecto a los pacientes tratados con stents SX.
Conclusiones: Los pacientes tratados mediante stenting hiperagudo de la ACI extracraneal en contexto de una oclusión en tándem, presentan una mayor frecuencia de la variable combinada positiva de eficacia y seguridad en comparación con los tratados con angioplastia con balón únicamente. Los stents BX podrían plantearse como una alternativa los stents SX en este contexto, dado que presentan iguales tasas de reoclusión o restenosis de alto grado de la ACI extracraneal, una menor frecuencia de deterioro neurológico precoz y una tendencia a presentar menor transformación hemorrágica sintomática. La reoclusión o restenosis de la ACI extracraneal a las 24 horas del procedimiento endovascular es un predictor de mal pronóstico funcional.Introduction: Endovascular treatment of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) lesion in the setting of tandem occlusions (TIO) is a therapeutic challenge. On the one hand, recanalization rate with fibrinolytic agents is lower compared to isolate intracranial occlusions. On the other hand, there are two competing rationales: to establish and maintain extracranial ICA patency, and to avoid hemorrhagic transformation, one of the leading causes of early neurological worsening and poor functional outcome. Methods: Prospective observational study of consecutive patients admitted to the Emergency Room of Vall d’Hebron University Hospital with TIO undergoing EVT. Extracranial ICA lesion was treated with stenting (balloon-expandable [BX] or self-expandable [SX], depending on the study period) or angioplasty alone. Primary outcome was a combined positive outcome composed by absence of extracranial ICA high-grade restenosis or reocclusion (efficacy) and absence of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) (safety) at 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included efficacy, safety, and clinical and functional outcomes. A pre-specified subanalysis was performed to assess differences between BX and SX stents. Results: One-hundred thirteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Patients undergoing stenting presented more frequently the combined positive outcome (65.3% vs. 19.5%, P< 0.001) and less frequently extracranial ICA high-grade restenosis or reocclusion (22.2% vs. 80.5%, P< 0.001) than angioplasty alone patients. Similar rates of hemorrhagic transformation, symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, clinical, and poor functional outcomes were found between groups. Extracranial ICA high-grade restenosis or reocclusion was independently related to poor functional outcome (OR 11 5.76, 95% CI 1.10-14.22). BX-stenting presented less frequently early neurological worsening (3.4% vs. 23.3%, P= 0.041) and tended to present a lower frequency of symptomatic HT (3.4% vs. 16.3%, P=0.069) than SX-stenting. Conclusions: Hyperacute extracranial ICA stenting in the setting of TIO presents more frequently the combined positive outcome of efficacy and safety than AA. BX stents are a promising alternative to SX stents in this particular scenario, due to the similar rate of extracranial ICA reocclusion or high-grade restenosis, a lower frequency of early neurological worsening, and a tendency to present less cases of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation. Extracranial ICA reocclusion or high-grade restenosis predicts poor functional outcome.

Esta tesis examina la legitimidad de la protección constitucional de los derechos sociales. Si bien los derechos sociales habitualmente son defendidos como exigencias de la justicia social, el hecho de los desacuerdos persistentes y fundamentales sobre cuestiones sustantivas torna inviable la justificación de su control judicial de constitucionalidad. En su lugar, argumento por la protección de los derechos sociales como exigencias de la democracia. Propongo la distinción de dos niveles de derechos sociales. El primer nivel debería ser entendido como encarnando parte de las precondiciones de la legitimidad democrática. Esto es, aquellas condiciones materiales que aseguren la posibilidad de la participación política efectiva de todos los ciudadanos y, por ello, podrían ser protegidos con un control judicial robusto de constitucionalidad. El segundo nivel estaría conformado por las exigencias de la justicia social, cuyo contenido y alcance debería ser decidido por la asamblea democrática y exento de aquel control.This thesis examines the legitimacy of constitutionally protecting social rights through the mechanism of judicial review. While social rights are often defended as requirements of social justice, persistent disagreement about the substance and scope of social rights invalidates the justification of judicial review. Instead, I argue for the protection of social rights as demands of democracy. I propose to distinguish between two levels of social rights. A first level should be understood as part of the preconditions of democratic legitimacy that safeguard the effective political participation of all citizens. This level is legitimately protected through strong judicial review. A second level, by contrast, consists of social rights as demands of social justice, the content and scope of which should be decided by the democratic assembly, and remain free of judicial interference.

Full textAbstract:
Background: This study explored the differences between the seasonal mortality rates (by age and gender) between the two jurisdictions (the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and Northern Ireland (NI)). The study assessed the relationship between cold temperatures and daily mortality, and assessed for effect modification of the cold weather-mortality relationship by age and gender. Methods: Mortality rates were calculated for each cause-specific mortality group during various seasons in both jurisdictions. A time-stratified case-crossover approach was applied to examine the cold weather-mortality relationship, 1984-2007. The daily mortality risk was explored in association with exposure to daily maximum temperatures on the same day and up to 6 weeks preceding death, during the winter months and extended cold period (October-March), using distributed lag models. Model stratification by age and gender assessed for modification of the cold weather-mortality relationship. Results: The winter mortality rates were significantly greater than the summer rates. NI experienced higher mortality from cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and stroke. The impact of cold weather in the winter months persisted up to 35 days in the RoI, with a cumulative mortality increase for all-cause of 6.4% (95%CI: 4.8%-7.9%) with regards to every 1oC drop in the daily maximum temperature with similar associations for cardiovascular disease and stroke with twice as much for respiratory diseases. The associations were less pronounced and less persistent in NI. Conclusions: The study observed excess winter mortality. The cold weather-mortality associations increased with age with some suggestion of gender differences. There were strong cold weather-mortality associations in both jurisdictions, with suggestive differences in associations by age and gender. The findings suggest the potential contribution of societal differences, and require further exploration. These findings will hopefully contribute to the current efforts to modify fuel policy and reduce winter mortality in both jurisdictions.

Assimilation has been used as a tool by the federal government to further its colonial enterprise. Through assimilationist policies, the federal government gained land and resources from Indian people. The codification of a definition of "Indian" in the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) was intended to limit the number of people to whom the federal government owed a unique political and financial relationship. The application of a definition of "Indian," based on blood-quantum standards, was an attempt to assimilate Indian people out of their Indian identity and into mainstream society where they are not party to the federal relationship. The legislated definition, which differs from tribes' customs and values regarding membership, has had several effects. The definition has affected tribes' abilities to be fully self-determining and issues of "membership" have created divisions within tribes and among Indian people. This paper examines the history of blood-quantum definitions and the long-term effects of and reactions to those definitions within Indian communities.

Introdução - As leis de restrição ao fumo têm sido amplamente difundidas pelo mundo principalmente na última década. Estudos prévios e meta análises têm demonstrado uma redução nas taxas de infarto do miocárdio após a vigência dessas leis. Entretanto, para a população latino-americana, as informações ainda são escassas. Na primeira fase deste estudo foi demonstrada a implementação bem sucedida da lei anti fumo na cidade de São Paulo, com uma redução expressiva nos níveis de monóxido de carbono em restaurantes, bares e casas noturnas. Objetivo - Avaliar se a implementação da lei anti fumo na cidade de São Paulo em 2009 foi associada a uma redução nas taxas de mortalidade e internação hospitalar por infarto do miocárdio e acidente vascular cerebral. Métodos - Foi realizado um estudo de séries temporais mensais entre janeiro de 2005 e dezembro de 2010. Os dados foram provenientes do DATASUS, o principal sistema de informação pública de saúde disponível no Brasil e do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM). A análise foi realizada utilizando o método Auto-regressivo, Integrado e de Médias Móveis com variáveis exógenas (ARIMAX), modelado por variáveis ambientais e poluentes atmosféricos para avaliar as taxas de mortalidade e internação hospitalar antes da lei e prever os eventos após a lei. Também foi realizada análise utilizando o método de Análise de Séries Temporais Interrompida (ITSA), em conjunto com o ARIMAX, para comparar o período anterior à lei, o momento em que entrou em vigor e o período após a lei. Resultados - Foi observada uma redução nas taxas de internação hospitalar (-5.4% nos primeiros 3 meses após a lei) e mortalidade (-11.9% nos primeiros 17 meses após a lei) por infarto do miocárdio com o método ARIMAX e uma redução na taxa de internação hospitalar (-7,4% entre o 7º e o 12º mês após a lei) e mortalidade (-5,3% nos primeiros 17 meses após a lei) por acidente vascular cerebral, com a mesma metodologia. Conclusão - As taxas de internação hospitalar e mortalidade por infarto do miocárdio e acidente vascular cerebral foram reduzidas após o início da vigência da lei anti fumoBackground - Smoking restriction laws have spread worldwide during the last decade. Previous studies and meta-analyses have shown a decline in the community rates of myocardial infarction and/or heart attack after enactment of these laws. However, data are scarce about the Latin American population. In the first phase of this study, we reported the successful implementation of the law in São Paulo city, with a decrease in carbon monoxide rates in places like restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Objective - To evaluate whether the 2009 implementation of a smoking ban law in São Paulo city was associated with a reduction in rates of mortality and hospital admissions for myocardial infarction and stroke. Methods - We performed a time series study of monthly rates of mortality and hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction and stroke from January 2005 to December 2010. The data were derived from DATASUS, the primary public health information system available in Brazil and from Mortality Information System (SIM). Adjustments and analyses were performed using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with exogenous variables (ARIMAX) method modeled by environmental variables and atmospheric pollutants to evaluate the mortality and hospital admission rate before the law and forecast events after the law. We also used Interrupted Time Series Analysis (ITSA) in conjunction with ARIMAX to compare the period before the law, the moment of implementation of the law, and the period after the law. Results - We observed a reduction in hospital admission rate (-5.4% in the first 3 months after the law) and mortality rate (-11.9% in the first 17 months after the law) for myocardial infarction with ARIMAX method. We observed a reduction in hospital admission rate (-7,4% between the 7th and the 12th month after the law) and mortality rate (-5,3% in the first 17 months after the law) for stroke with ARIMAX method. Conclusions - Hospital admission rate and mortality rate for myocardial infarction and stroke were reduced after the smoking ban law was implemented

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca affronta una particolare forma di responsabilità concorsuale per crimini internazionali chiamata ‘joint criminal enterprise’ (JCE), creata dal Tribunale Penale Internazionale per l’ex-Yugoslavia. Il perno attorno al quale la ricerca si svolge è la suscettibilità di un tale criterio di imputazione di trasformarsi in un veicolo di responsabilità penale collettiva. Al fine di discutere dei punti di frizione di questo meccanismo ascrittivo con il fondamentale principio di responsabilità penale individuale e colpevole, l’autrice si propone di tracciare innanzitutto una cornice teorica più ampia. Il punto di partenza va individuato nella polarizzazione tra due forze che agiscono in senso opposto: una macro-dimensione, composta da fattori collettivizzanti (fattore storico, sistemico e teleologico), e una micro-dimensione che tenta di comprimere la responsabilità penale nei rigidi confini della colpevolezza. Collocata dunque al centro della “tensione” tra queste due forze opposte, la ‘joint criminal enterprise’ rivela i suoi caratteri più problematici, specialmente con riferimento ai requisiti di un nesso eziologico “indiretto” e a un elemento soggettivo fortemente indebolito. Addentrandosi infine nell’analisi comparata di sistemi di common law e civil law, l’autrice propone all’interprete internazionale diverse argomentazioni e correttivi al fine di un’applicazione della JCE che sia maggiormente conforme al principio di responsabilità penale personale e colpevole.The thesis discusses a particularly problematic mode of liability for international crimes: the doctrine of ‘joint criminal enterprise’ (JCE) created by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The core issue is the suitability of this mechanism of attribution to turn into a vehicle of collective criminal responsibility. In order to discuss its points of friction with the principle of individual culpability, the author designs a broader theoretical framework. The point of departure is a polarization between two opposing forces: a macro-dimension of collectivizing factors (historical, contextual and teleological) and a micro-dimension that strives to contain liability into the strict boundaries of individual guilt. Placed within the “strain” between these two opposing forces, JCE reveals its highly problematic features, especially in relation to the requirements of an indirect causal nexus and a very weak mens rea. Finally, by venturing into a comparative analysis of common law/civil law domestic systems, the author proposes to the international interpreter several arguments and correctives in order to apply JCE liability in a manner that is more consistent with the fundamental principle of individual culpability.

Full textAbstract:
La rumeur s'est répandue depuis plus d'un siècle dans le monde juridique que la société aurait quitté la sphère contractuelle provoquant ainsi la rupture du droit des contrats et du droit des sociétés. Et les auteurs, qui n'en sont pas convaincus, pensent néanmoins que la société se serait recluse dans une catégorie contractuelle singulière, celle des contrats-organisation au régime bien spécifique. Une des principales raisons de la remise en cause de la nature de la société réside dans l'avènement de la loi de la majorité jugée incompatible avec la conception volontariste de la force obligatoire du contrat forgée par le droit commun.Une étude approfondie de la force obligatoire du contrat de société révèle cependant que la société souffre d'une marginalisation excessive. Ses particularités ne l'empêchent pas en effet d'appliquer le principe de la force obligatoire : la société est soumise au principe d'intangibilité contractuelle et toute atteinte se résout par une sanction effective, exécution forcée ou résiliation.Mieux encore, à l'analyse, on constate qu'un certain nombre des spécificités dénoncées de la société, en particulier la durée, l'intérêt commun et l'intérêt social, se retrouvent en réalité à des degrés différents dans les autres contrats. Aussi, cette nouvelle perception du contrat à l'image de la société incite à une appréhension moins rigoureuse de la force obligatoire et de ses corollaires que sont l'immutabilité et l'irrévocabilité contractuelles. L'alliance du droit des contrats et du droit des sociétés favorise, ce faisant, l'élaboration d'une force obligatoire renouvelée plus adaptée à la réalité contractuelle.

L'ictus isquèmic és una de les principals causes de mortalitat, discapacitat de llarg termini i de morbiditat al món. Actualment, els únics tractaments eficaços són el tractament trombolític intravenós amb activador del plasminogen tissular (tPA) i les novedoses trombectomies intra-arterials, que requereixen ser administrades en la fase hiperaguda de la malaltia (<4,5 hores per al tractament amb tPA i <6 hores per les emergents la teràpies endovasculars). Per tant, és necessari investigar noves teràpies que podrien ser utilitzades per tractar un gran nombre de pacients en una fase posterior de la malaltia per reparar el teixit danyat. Alguns enfocaments terapèutics apunten que per assolir aquest objectiu és necessari potenciar la remodelació vascular i la neurogènesi en el cervell isquèmic.
L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és l'estudi de la modulació de la metaloproteinasa de matriu-13 (MMP-13) en la neurorreparación i el d’investigar diverses MMPs com a biomarcadors que serveixin per monitoritzar la millora de la funció motora durant la teràpia neuro-rehabilitadora. Utilitzant un model d’isquèmia cerebral per oclusió de l’arteria cerebral mitja en ratolins, es va trobar que expressió de la MMP-13 està implicada en el dany i en mecanismes de reparació post-isquèmia. Després de la isquèmia-reperfusió, la deficiència en MMP-13 redueix la mida de l'infart, millora l’estatus funcional en la fase més aguda i protegeix de l’aparició de transformacions hemorràgiques, però interfereix negativament en la recuperació del teixit cortical mitjançant la reducció en la migració neuroblast en proliferació, en el remodelat vascular i en un microambient amb factors tròfics reduïts. Al mateix temps les cèl·lules endotelials progenitores amb un silenciament transitori de l’expressió de MMP-13 presenten una funció aberrant en assajos de tubulogènesis, in vitro.
Com que la deficiència de MMP-13 protegia del dany cerebral en el model animal d’isquèmia al temps que participava en la recuperació del teixit en fases de reparació, aquesta tesi també estudia el perfil temporal dels nivells plasmàtics de MMP-3, MMP-12 i MMP-13 durant la teràpia neuro-rehabilitadora per investigar el seu paper com a potencials biomarcadors del teixit en recuperació. Els nostres resultats mostren que alts nivells de plasma MMP-13, així com MMP-12, estan fortament associats amb la severitat i extensió de la isquèmia, però no els de MMP-3. Curiosament, els pacients amb un millor status en la funció motora durant la rehabilitació presenten els nivells més elevats de MMP-3 i reduïts de MMP-12 / -13. També, els valors de MMP-3 estan estretament associats amb la millor recuperació motora després de l'accident cerebrovascular, el que indica el seu potencial com a biomarcador de la millora en la funció motora. Aquests resultats són importants per imaginar el futur ús d'un biomarcador per tal de poder ajustar, personalitzar i modular teràpies de neuro-rehabilitació d'acord a les necessitats dels pacients.
En conclusió aquesta tesi mostra el paper de les MMPs en el dany i reparació de teixits després de l'ictus isquèmic i ressalta la importància de monitoritzar i modular aquestes proteases en favor de la recuperació dels pacients.Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality, long-time disability and morbidity in the world. Currently, the only effective treatments are the intravenous thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and the new emerging intra-arterial thrombectomies, which require to be administered in the hyperacute phase of stroke (<4.5 hours for tPA treatment and <6 hours for endovascular therapy). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate new therapies that could be used to treat a large number of patients in a later phase to repair and rewire the damaged tissue. One approach to achieve these objectives is to enhance vascular remodeling and neurogenesis in the ischemic brain. The aim of this thesis is to study the modulation of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) in brain injury and neurorepair and to investigate several MMPs as serving biomarkers to monitor motor and functional improvement during neurorehabilitation therapy. Using a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion model of ischemia in mice, we found that the modulation of MMP-13 is involved in ischemic damage and repair mechanisms. After ischemia-reperfusion, MMP-13 deficiency reduces infarct size, improves functional outcome and protects from hemorrhagic transformation, but impairs cortical tissue recovery by reducing proliferating neuroblast migration and vessel remodelling in a microenvironment with reduced trophic factors. At the same time MMP-13-silenced endothelial progenitor cells present an aberrant in vitro tubulogenesis function. As MMP-13 deficiency protects brain injury acutely and participates in post-stroke tissue recovery, this thesis also studies the temporal profile of plasma MMP-3, MMP-12 and MMP-13 during rehabilitation therapy to investigate their potential role as biomarkers of tissue recovery. Our results show that high levels of plasma MMP-13, as well as MMP-12, are strongly associated with stroke severity acutely, but not MMP-3. Interestingly, those patients with a better motor outcome during rehabilitation present elevated MMP-3 and decreased MMP-12/-13 levels. MMP-3 is closely associated with the better post-stroke motor recovery, indicating the potential as a biomarker of final functional improvement. These are important results that envision the use of biomarkers that could help to adjust, personalize and modulate neurorehabilitation therapies according to patients’ needs. In conclusion this thesis shows the role of MMPs in tissue injury and repair after stroke and the importance to monitor and modulate these proteases in favor of patients’ recovery.

On Constate aujourd’hui une avancée significative du processus de démocratisation au Togo et au Zimbabwe grâce à la politique de la conditionnalité démocratique de l’aide européenne au développement et aux sanctions financières édictées contre ces pays. C’est la synergie des forces externes et internes qui a contribué au changement de politique au Togo et au Zimbabwe. La mobilisation de la société civile a également été utile. Cependant, le système politique produit par la politique de la conditionnalité n’est que de façade car les résultats obtenus ne sont pas à la hauteur des attentes. Le bilan est mitigé. Les réformes entreprises au Togo et au Zimbabwe ne sont qu’apparentes. La dépendance de l’aide a engendré la corruption, les dettes, et a sapé les investissements. Tant que des solutions appropriées n’auront pas été trouvées à l’aspiration démocratique des peuples africains en tenant compte de leurs réalités sociales, culturelles, économiques et politiques ; les crises sociopolitiques risquent de perdurer sur le continent. L’Afrique a besoin aujourd’hui d’une institution forte capable de concilier la démocratie et le développement. Elle a aussi besoin de l’indépendance budgétaire et monétaireToday there is a significant advance in the democratization process in Togo and Zimbabwe because of the political democratic conditionality for EU development aid and financial sanctions imposed against the country. It is the synergy of internal and external forces that contributed to the change in policy in Togo and Zimbabwe. The mobilization of civil society has been helpful. However, the political system produced by policy conditionality is only façade since the results are not up to what was expected. The results are mixed. The reforms undertaken in Togo and Zimbabwe are only apparent. In addition, aid dependence has fostered corruption, debt, and undermined investment. Unless appropriate solutions can be found to the democratic aspirations of the African peoples, taking into account their social, cultural, economic and political realities; sociopolitical crises are likely to persist on the continent. Africa today needs a strong institution capable of reconciling democracy and development. It also needs fiscal and monetary independence

Previous issue date: 2009Este trabalho propõe analisar o fenômeno da terceirização desenvolvido ao longo das duas últimas décadas em Bio-Manguinhos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado na unidade de produção de vacinas e reagentes para diagnóstico da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Inicialmente foi realizado um estudo de cenário, analisando a política de gestão do trabalho desenvolvida pelo Estado brasileiro para as instituições públicas. A seguir, a análise passou a verificar a inserção da Fiocruz nessas políticas, desde a sua criação e no decorrer de vigência de diferentes formas de contratação, alternando da extrema rigidez para a total flexibilidade sempre com foco na gestão do trabalho, e, como essas políticas se refletiram no desempenho de Bio-Manguinhos. Baseado no contexto da conformação do Estado e na análise do desempenho da unidade, o trabalho critica a falta de planejamento e de prospecção dessas políticas, que favoreça a inovação de processos, produtos e procedimentos e o desempenho pleno de uma unidade de produção de insumos para a saúde, tão necessários ao atendimento das necessidades da população brasileira. Critica também, a ausência de um modelo de Estado consolidado que sirva de arcabouço à formulação dessas políticas. Devido às fortes críticas dos órgãos de controle acerca da extrapolação dos limites da terceirização praticada nas últimas duas décadas e à falta de definição clara desses marcos legais, o trabalho apresenta uma metodologia baseada nas atribuições dos cargos do plano de carreiras da Fiocruz e culmina com a apresentação de uma matriz de atribuições passíveis de serem realizadas por contratação indireta. Conclui pela necessidade de convivência de dois quadros de trabalhadores: um permanente formado por servidores, estáveis e de carreira e outro flexível, executado por contratação indireta, de caráter eventual, temporário ou de apoio às atividades relacionadas à missão de Bio-Manguinhos. O trabalho ainda sugere a aplicação da mesma metodologia às demais unidades da Fiocruz e que a instituição afirme, frente aos órgãos de controle, quais atividades que ela precisa manter no quadro de servidores permanente e quais ela quer delegar a terceiros sem contudo, ferir a legislação vigente. Por fim, constata-se que a metodologia apresentada ameniza, mas não resolve o problema, dessa forma, recomenda-se à Fiocruz buscar mecanismos que altere o modelo de gestão pelo qual está submetida a fim de viabilizar as duas formas de incorporação de mão-de-obra.

Many versions of the strong law of large numbers have been established in the literature for measurable functions taking values on different spaces. In this paper, we prove a strong law of large numbers (it is not assumed to be identically distributed) for fuzzy random variables on a nonseparable metric space. Further, fuzzy martingales are introduced, as well as fuzzy submartingales and supermartingales. We prove some convergence results for fuzzy submartingales.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide, the remarkable diffusion of transparency and access to information laws poses a monumental challenge to the state’s most enduringly undemocratic feature— excessive secrecy. Will recent laws lead to an effective surrender of secrecy? The incipient literature on transparency reform says little about the strength of current legislation or how strong laws emerge. This dissertation addresses these theoretical and empirical gaps. First, it articulates a theory on the political determinants of strong access to information laws. Second, employing an original evaluation, it scores the strength of twelve access to information laws advanced throughout Latin America between 2002 and 2010.
Two extreme outcomes are examined in detail: a failed comprehensive reform in Argentina (1999-2005), which resulted in a limited presidential decree (2003), and the adoption of a seminal law in Mexico (2002). These cases are then compared with others across Latin America with special attention placed on Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. I find considerable variance in the strength of the region’s laws: the average score is “moderately strong,” while the median and mode scores are “moderately weak.” Evidence shows that while civic coalitions and external pressure often help drive reform, they cannot explain observed variation in legal strength. Rather, I find that laws emerge more robust and earlier-on within the electoral cycle (within the first half of a president’s term of office), in countries where 1) presidents lack control over the legislature and 2) news media coverage of access to information laws is strong. By contrast, where news media coverage is weak and presidents possess strong negative agenda setting powers (partisan majorities or constitutional means of denying a vote), I find that laws tend to emerge later-on during the electoral cycle (within the last third), and are considerably weaker. I also find that press advocacy for access to information laws tended to be greater in countries where presidents were weaker and news media ownership concentration was low.
The dissertation addresses key institutional preconditions for good governance and transparency reform. More specifically, it speaks to the determinants and power of the news media as an agent of democratic advancement (and stagnation), and the importance of weak leaders and partisan competition in promoting good governance reform.text

In this paper, we study a general sequence of random variables under some moment conditions will follow the classical strong law of large numbers. In Chapter 1, we discuss the results of previous studies in in the sequence with special structures. These special structures contain independent, pairwise independent, extended negatively dependent (END), and asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA). In Capter 2, we give our main results and prove. In Chapter 3, we show that how to use our main results to obtain classical strong law of large numbers when the sequence has special structures referred to Chapter 1.

In this thesis , we prove that the strong law of large numbers holds for a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random elements in a separable Banach space when the first moment exists. This gives an extension of Mourier's SLLN (1953). In chapter 1, we see the literature reviews ofi.i.d. and pairwise i.i.d. SLLN. In chapter 2, we list the proof of Feller'SLLN(1946).We discuss why Martikainen and Petrov extended Feller's SLLN and Marcin-kiewicz's SLLN to pairwise i.i.d random variables. In chapter 3, we list our main result.

The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the Strong Law of Large Numbers.In this paper, the independent and identical distribution hypotheses of the random variable sequence in the classical Kolmogorov's Strong Law of Large Numbers are relaxed into pairwise independents and some applications of the Strong Law of Large Numbers.Due to the Strong Law of Large Numbers is a limiting property of random variable sequences,So we first discuss some of the limit properties between random variable sequences.We will assume that the random variable sequence is defined in a complete probability space,This simplifies the various limit definitions of the random variable sequences.We will give a counterexample to explain the completeness of the probability space, the simplified definition is unreasonable.Next, we discuss the limit properties after generalizing random variable sequences to random element sequences,Since the random element is a take of the value in the measurable space,So the convergence of the random element sequence will depend on a certain distance, which is called the probability distance.We will spend some space discussing the theory and nature of probability distance.Then we discuss the topic of this paper,Relax the hypothesis of Kolmogorov's Strong Law of Large Numbers.This will introduce the concept of bounded in the Cesaro sense,and its will tell us that Strong Law of Large Numbers can be used as long as the random variable sequence is pairwise independent.Finally, we introduce the application of the Strong Law of Large Numbers in the three fields of stochastic simulation, mathematical statistics and stochastic processes.Explain the practical value of the Strong Law of Large Numbers.

The emerging technologies of prenatal human genetic enhancement give to third
parties the unprecedented power to design newborn genetic traits such as eye and skin
color, intelligence, and emotional profile. The literature has not provided any answers
to the question as to why these genetic enhancement technologies are prohibited by the
European Biomedicine Convention. This thesis will demonstrate, by way of legal
theory, that the prohibition on prenatal genetic enhancement is thoroughly justified on
grounds that it violates the human right to dignity, as expressed in Kantian philosophy.
In light of Kant’s Philosophy, genetic interventions for designing identity-related
characteristics treat human beings instrumentally, to satisfy the desires of others, as
mere means and not as ends in themselves. This thesis offers a deeper understanding
of the law and policy regarding the prohibition on human genetic enhancement in
order to safeguard future generations in the wake of a brave new world.

Lars-Erik Larsson (1908-1986), a distinguished 20th century Swedish composer, continually oscillated among Nordic Romanticism, neo-classicism and more unconventional styles (serialism and polytonality), is still considered as a Romantic composer because of the lyrical instinct, tunefulness and directness in his music. In this thesis, the author studied the Concertino for Trombone and String Orchestra (Op.45, No.7), one from a set of concertinos, which was written for twelve types of instrument and string orchestra during 1953-1957. This composition is one of the masterpieces in trombone repertoire; it is such an important work that always been performed by musicians in competitions and orchestra auditions worldwide. There are five chapters in this thesis. The first chapter is introduction, which will provide the motivation and intent as well as the structure and bibliography of this essay. The second chapter describes Larsson’s life and development of his compositions. The third chapter contains formal and harmonic analysis. The fourth chapter discusses the musical dialogue between trombone and string orchestra plus some effective suggestions for practice. The last chapter is a summary. My hope of this research is that it would contribute the study of trombone and help people who are interesting in Larsson’s music in teaching and performing.
