Yan, Meilan. "An assessment of UK banking liquidity regulation and supervision". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2013. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/12666.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis assesses UK banking liquidity regulation and supervision and the Basel liquidity requirements, and models banks' liquidity risk. The study reveals that the FSA's risk-assessment framework before 2008 was too general without specifically considering banks' liquidity risk (as well as its failures on Northern Rock). The study also lists the limitations of the FSA's banking liquidity regimes before 2008. The thesis reviews whether the FSA's new liquidity regimes after 2008 would have coped with UK banks' liquidity risks if they have been applied properly. The fundamental changes in the FSA's liquidity supervision reflect three considerations. First, it introduces a systemic control requirement by measuring individual fifirm's liquidity risk with a market-wide stress or combination of idiosyncratic and market-wide stresses. Second, it emphasizes the monitoring of business model risks and the capability of senior managers. Third, it allows both internal and external managers to access more information by increasing the liquidity reporting frequencies. The thesis also comments on the Basel Liquidity Principles of 2008 and the two Liquidity Standards. The Principles of 2008 represents a substantial revision of the Principles of 2000 and reflect the lessons of the fifinancial market turmoil since 2007. The study argues that the implementation of the sound principles by banks and supervisors should be fexible, but also need to be consistent to make sure they understand banks' liquidity positions quite well. The study also explains the composition of the Basel liquidity ratios as well as the side effect of Basel liquidity standards; for example, it will reshape interbank deposit markets and bond markets as a result of the increase in demand for `liquid assets' and `stable funding'. This thesis uses quantitative balance sheet liquidity analysis, based upon modified versions of the BCBS (2010b) and Moody's (2001) models, to estimate eight UK banks' short and long-term liquidity positions from 2005 to 2010 respectively. The study shows that only Barclays Bank remained liquid on a short-term basis throughout the sample period (2005-2010); while the HSBC Bank also proved liquid on a short-term basis, although not in 2008 and 2010. On a long-term basis, RBS has remained liquid since 2008 after receiving government support; while Santander UK also proved liquid, except in 2009. The other banks,especially Natwest, are shown to have faced challenging conditions, on both a short-term and long-term basis, over the sample period. This thesis also uses the Exposure-Based Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) model to forecast UK banks' liquidity risk. Based on annual data over the period 1997 to 2010, the study predicts that by the end of 2011, the (102) UK banks' average CFaR at the 95% confidence level will be -£5.76 billion, Barclays Bank's (Barclays') CFaR will be -£0.34 billion, the Royal Bank of Scotland's (RBS's) CFaR will be -£40.29 billion, HSBC Bank's (HSBC's) CFaR will be £0.67 billion, Lloyds TSB Bank's (Lloyds TSB's) CFaR will be -£4.90 billion, National Westminister Bank's (Natwest's) CFaR will be -£10.38 billion, and Nationwide Building Society's (Nationwide's) CFaR will be -£0.72 billion. Moreover, it is clear that Lloyds TSB and Natwest are associated with the largest risk, according to the biggest percentage difference between downside cash flow and expected cash flow (3600% and 816% respectively). Since I summarize a bank's liquidity risk exposure in a single number (CFaR), which is the maximum shortfall given the targeted probability level, it can be directly compared to the bank's risk tolerance and used to guide corporate risk management decisions. Finally, this thesis estimates the long-term United Kingdom economic impact of the Basel III capital and liquidity requirements. Using quarterly data over the period 1997:q1 to 2010:q2, the study employs a non-linear-in-factor probit model to show increases in bank capital and liquidity would reduce the probability of a bank crisis significantly. The study estimates the long-run cost of the Basel III requirements with a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), which shows holding higher capital and liquidity would reduce output by a small amount but increase bank profitability in the long run. The maximum temporary net benefit and permanent net benefit is shown to be 1.284% and 35.484% of pre-crisis GDP respectively when the tangible common equity ratio stays at 10%. Assuming all UK banks also meet the Basel III long-term liquidity requirements, the temporary net benefit and permanent net benefit will be 0.347% and 14.318% of pre-crisis GDP respectively. Therefore, the results suggest that, in terms of the impact on output, there is considerable room to further tighten capital and liquidity requirements, while still providing positive effects for the United Kingdom economy.

En una societat basada en els serveis, la qualitat de les relacions entre els col·legues, el proveïdor del servei al client, els directius i els membres dels seus equips determinen una sèrie de resultats, com ara les intencions de facturació, la fidelitat del client o la retenció del talent. En efecte, la qualitat de la relació entre un client i un proveïdor de serveis pot determinar la satisfacció del client, com també la seva predisposició a oblidar els errors (p. ex., Verghese, 2003; Roter, 2006). Això explica per què les organitzacions cada vegada es gasten més diners en formació corporativa en gestió, en general, i en lideratge, en particular. El desenvolupament del lideratge i la gestió encapçalen la llista de les primeres àrees d’inversió. L’any 2013, després de dos anys d’increment de la despesa, la inversió nord-americana en formació corporativa va créixer encara un 15 % -més de 70.000 milions de dòlars als Estats Units i 130.000 milions de dòlars arreu del món (Deloitte Corporate Learning Factbook, 2014). Aquesta tesi doctoral s’inspira en el rol fonamental de les interaccions socials a la feina per tal d‘obtenir una sèrie de resultats empresarials, com la satisfacció al lloc de treball, la satisfacció del client, la retenció del talent i l‘acompliment individual i de l’organització. Cercant de contribuir a l’estudi i a la pràctica del desenvolupament del comportament social a la feina, la motivació principal dels estudis que s’inclouen en aquesta tesi és respondre a la pregunta global: Com poden ser més efectius el comportament social i les emocions de les persones a la feina? Aquesta pregunta global s’ha abordat amb tres estudis, un de teòric, un de metodològic i un d’empíric.
La finalitat del primer estudi és descriure els tipus generals del comportament social que una persona pot exhibir en funció de les múltiples vies d’interacció cognitiva-emocional i utilitzar-los com a base per proposar un model de regulació emocional que afavoreixi l’exhibició d’un comportament social més efectiu a la feina. El segon estudi pretén afavorir el desenvolupament d’un comportament social a la feina a través del primer pas fonamental que cal fer, que és avaluar-lo. Amb aquesta finalitat, el segon estudi presenta el desenvolupament i el test de validesa del constructe d’un instrument espanyol per avaluar el comportament personal i social a la feina. El tercer estudi tracta dels intents dels directius per desenvolupar el comportament social dels seus treballadors a través d’un feedback de seguiment de 360º. Investiga les paradoxes que afronta un directiu durant un feedback de seguiment de 360º, com es tradueixen en comportaments de lideratge i incideixen en les reacciones emocionals dels receptors del feedback.En una sociedad basada en los servicios, la calidad de las relaciones entre los colegas, el proveedor del servicio al cliente, los directivos y los miembros de sus equipos determinan una serie de resultados, como las intenciones de facturación, la fidelidad del cliente o la retención del talento. En efecto, la calidad de la relación entre un cliente y un proveedor de servicios puede determinar la satisfacción del cliente, así como su predisposición a olvidar errores (p. ej., Verghese, 2003; Roter, 2006). Ello explica por qué las organizaciones siguen incrementando sus gastos en formación corporativa en management, en general, y en liderazgo, en particular. El desarrollo del liderazgo y el management encabezan la lista como las primeras áreas de inversión. En 2013, después de dos años de incremento del gasto, la inversión estadounidense en formación corporativa creció un 15% -más de 70.000 millones de dólares en los Estados Unidos y 130.000 millones de dólares en todo el mundo (Deloitte Corporate Learning Factbook, 2014). Esta tesis doctoral se inspira en el rol fundamental de las interacciones sociales en el trabajo para obtener una serie de resultados empresariales, como la satisfacción en el puesto de trabajo, la satisfacción del cliente, la retención del talento y el desempeño individual y de la organización. Buscando contribuir al estudio y a la práctica del desarrollo del comportamiento social en el trabajo, la principal motivación de los estudios que se incluyen en esta tesis es responder a la pregunta global: ¿De qué modo pueden ser más efectivos el comportamiento social y las emociones de las personas en el trabajo? Esta pregunta global ha sido abordada a través de tres estudios, uno teórico, uno metodológico y uno empírico. La finalidad del primer estudio es describir los tipos generales de comportamiento social que una persona puede exhibir en función de las múltiples vías de interacción cognitiva-emocional y utilizarlos como base para proponer un modelo de regulación emocional que favorezca la exhibición de un comportamiento social más efectivo en el trabajo. El segundo estudio pretende respaldar el desarrollo de un comportamiento social en el trabajo a través del primer paso fundamental que se necesita, que es su evaluación. Para ello, el segundo estudio presenta el desarrollo y el test de validez del constructo de un instrumento español para evaluar el comportamiento personal y social en el trabajo. El tercer estudio trata de los intentos de los directivos para desarrollar el comportamiento social de sus trabajadores a través de un feedback de seguimiento de 360º. Investiga las paradojas que afronta un directivo durante un feedback de seguimiento de 360º, cómo se traducen en comportamientos de liderazgo e inciden en las reacciones emocionales de los receptores del feedback.
In a service-based society the quality of the relationships among colleagues, client-service provider, managers and their team members, determine a range of outcomes such as turnover intentions, client loyalty, talent retention. Indeed, the quality of the relationship between a client and a service provider may determine client satisfaction as well as willingness to forgive mistakes (e.g. Verghese, 2003; Roter, 2006). This explains why organizations keep increasing its spending in corporate training in management in general and leadership in particular. Leadership and management development are at the top of the list as the number 1 areas of investment. In 2013, following two years of already increasing spending, the US investment in corporate training grew by 15% - over $70 Billion in the US and $130 Billion worldwide (Deloitte Corporate Learning Factbook, 2014). This doctoral thesis is inspired by the key role of social interactions at work for a series of business outcomes such as job satisfaction, client satisfaction, talent relation, individual and organizational performance. In a quest to contribute to the research and practice of social behavioral development at work the main motivation underlying the studies that encompass this dissertation is to answer the overarching question: How can people`s social behavior and emotions be more effective at work? This overarching question was addressed through three studies, one theoretical, one methodological and one empirical. The aim of the first study is to explore the literature review of neuroscience, psychology and management and, through its integration, provide the mapping of the general types of social behavior a person can display depending on the multiple cognitive-emotion interaction pathways. This review was then used as a basis to propose an emotional regulation model that is expected to facilitate the display of more effective social behavior at work. The second study aims to support the development of social behavior at work through the first fundamental step necessary to it, which is its assessment. To do so the second study presents the development and the construct validity test of a Spanish instrument to assess personal and social behavior at work. The third study managers’ attempts in developing the social behavior of its workers through 360º follow-up feedback. It investigates the paradoxes faced by a manager during a 360º follow-up feedback, how they translate into leadership behaviors and impact the emotional reactions of feedback receivers.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis seeks to contribute to solving the debate about the framework of rules and institutions applicable to public utility sectors, by adopting both economic theories, such as natural monopoly, network effects, and public goods, and practical analysis of the telecommunications sectors for both Australia and the United States. Governments must reevaluate the framework regulating public utility sectors whenever rapid technological advancements occur. This thesis argues that the antitrust authority better enforces competition rules, and that the sector-specific authority better enforces technical and universal service rules. The justification of the special competition rule concerning bottleneck facilities access should be limited. As for the universal service scheme, the enforcer should ensure competitive neutrality and adopt pro-competitive instruments. This framework would allow for a more market-oriented and economy-wide regulatory administration, as well as enforcement of the universal service scheme based on a more accurate reflection of the fundamental values of citizens.

Texto completoResumen
The thesis assesses the degree to which the Malaysian government exerts influence over the activities of private providers in health. The government's stated objective in its mid-term Review of the Sixth Malaysia Plan (1991-1995) and Seventh Malaysia Plan (1996-2000) is to gradually reduce its role in the provision of health services and increase its regulatory and enforcement functions. The thesis examines the functioning of the regulatory system. It investigates the role of local government in licensing new hospitals and the Malaysian Medical Council and Malaysian Medical Association in regulating doctors. The study focuses on the issues of management and analysis of information, and the principal-agent relationship. The study demonstrates that many of the Government's objectives for regulating the private health sector are not realized due to lack of legal frame work as well fragmentation and lack of coordination among the relevant agencies. This is compounded by insufficient funding for a personnel policy that would increase its capacity. The study also demonstrates that the regulatory bodies of the medical profession do not reflect the interest of the users adequately. Their composition mostly represents medical practitioners and medical organisations. Their regulatory processes do not provide clear channels through which users can voice complaints. There are few sanctions for behaviour that harms patients.

Whittaker, Carly. "The importance of life cycle assessment methodology in the regulation of biofuels". Thesis, University of Bath, 2013. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.636534.
Texto completoResumen
Biofuels have been identified as a potential short-term solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transport. In order to ensure that they successfully deliver emission savings, the overall GHG balance of producing them must be calculated accurately, and compared with conventional fossil fuels. Life cycle assessment has dominated the process of assessing the GHG emissions from biofuels, though the results can vary significantly, due to real variation caused by biomass feedstock types, processing stages, and uncertainty in GHG emission from certain processes, but also due to how the GHG emission balance is calculated. This study has examined the relative importance of ‘scientific’ variation, and that caused by different methodological approaches. Three case studies with different methodological issues associated with accounting for their GHG emissions were developed. The variation in the LCA results due to the variability of inputs and outputs and from uncertainty of emissions from certain processes were assessed. The results showed that there is a high amount of variation in GHG emissions from fertiliser use, nitrous oxide emissions from soil and direct land use change. The GHG emissions from the full bioethanol production system were then calculated according to three specific GHG regulatory methodologies that are either currently used, or have been used in the UK for biofuels, products and services. This study has found that LCA methodology can cause considerable variation in differences in LCA results. The variation is sometimes caused by arbitrary decisions concerning how GHG emissions from a process should be accounted for and attributed to the main product. Variation in the results that is caused by methodology is comparable to that caused by scientific variation, which is ‘real’ that sometimes cannot be avoided without detailed study. The different results are due to the approach the methodology takes to LCA; whether the method tends toward attributional or consequential LCA. For reporting purposes, the European Directive’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) states that attributional LCA (ALCA) is best as it provides a snapshot of emissions that are released, and attributable to the production and use of the product or service. A consequential LCA (CLCA), on the other hand is better suited for policy analysis as the potential impacts are applicable to a wider, even global scope. None of the methodologies studied completely adheres to ACLA or CLCA. It appears that they have confused the two within their calculation rules; therefore they do not fulfil their goal and scope. A critical assessment of the accounting methodology within RED is also performed here. The results show that the methodology is inconsistent and arbitrary, and currently too vague to be practical for GHG reporting. The results from this study indicate that the RED penalises the use of renewable energy and its calculation methodology does not support 2nd generation bioethanol production.

Stinson, Jill D. y Judith V. Becker. "Multi-Modal Self-Regulation Theory of Sexual Offending". Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2016. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/8005.
Texto completoResumen
The Multimodal Self-Regulation Theory was first introduced by Stinson, Sales, and Becker as an integrated theory of sexual offending premised on the assumption that persons who engage in acts of problematic sexual behaviour do so because of deficits in primary self-regulatory functioning. Self-regulation—or the ability to modulate emotions, thoughts, interactions, and behaviours effectively—has been discussed within the context of varied psychological and behavioural problems, including personality disorders and self-injurious behaviour. The Multimodal Self-Regulation Theory applies self-regulatory processes to sex offending, suggesting that such behaviours may be yet another form of maladaptive self-regulatory coping. Such an approach combines extensive literatures, ranging from developmental, cognitive-behavioural, and personality theory to neurobiology and criminology. In this chapter, we summarize the main tenets of the theory and discuss examples and case conceptualization using this approach. We also describe early empirical support with several samples of sexual offenders, as well as the development and piloting of a related treatment manual. In each of these sections, we additionally highlight areas for further study, including projects currently under way by the present authors. Finally, we review the theory’s primary strengths and limitations, referencing broader contextual research needs to clarify better the role of the Multimodal Self-Regulation Theory in understanding, treating, and preventing sex offending behaviours.

Texto completoResumen
It is understood that in order for athletes to perform to their potential consistently they must learn to optimally self-regulate their psychological and physiological states. Yet, the process by which this is accomplished is not well understood. The purpose of this doctoral dissertation was to explore the concept of self-regulation in the Olympic athlete population through the use of biofeedback and neurofeedback. To address this purpose, two studies were conducted. Study One (Article 1) used a quantitative methodology to explore the relationship between Olympic athletes’ overall self-regulation ability and world ranking. Fifteen Olympic level athletes underwent a 9-stage psychophysiological stress assessment to determine each athlete’s ability to return to baseline after a stress load was applied. Findings revealed that there was a significant correlation between the athletes’ overall self-regulation ability and their ranking at the world level, meaning the better the overall self-regulation ability of the athlete the better the world ranking. Study Two (Articles 2 and 3) employed a qualitative methodology and explored what and how five Olympic level athletes learned from participating in a 20 session biofeedback and neurofeedback training intervention. Data was collected from post-intervention interviews with the athletes. In Study Two, Olympic athletes perceived that the biofeedback and neurofeedback training intervention assisted them in learning to improve self-awareness and self-regulation of their physical and mental states enabling them to feel more in control during sport performances. Engaging in active learning exercises, receiving real-time formative feedback, and utilization of the intervention exercises in training and competition environments were how athletes perceived they learned to self-regulate. Together, the findings from the two studies highlight the relevance and intricacies of self-regulation in high performance sport. Overall, the present dissertation makes a contribution to the sport psychology literature particularly with regard to our understanding of the use of biofeedback and neurofeedback for enhancing self-regulation with Olympic athletes. Thus, learning to improve self-regulation skills using biofeedback and neurofeedback training should be an integral part of a comprehensive and holistic approach used by sport psychology practitioners in assisting athletes to perform to their potential.

Texto completoResumen
Multimedia learning may be more effective than text-only methods. Researchers have not examined the effects of metacognitive strategies on self-regulated learning (SR) within multimedia learning environments (MLE). The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine potential differences in learning and SR skills between students who use a script as a self-assessment tool and students who do not, while creating a conceptual map. The cognitive-affective theory of learning with media was used to frame the study. The sample included 87 secondary school students from a public school in Puerto Rico, enrolled in 11th and 12th grade English courses. Control and treatment groups completed a questionnaire to measure group difference in goal orientations at the beginning of the study. A t-test results indicated differences between the groups in disposition, and motivation variables. SR was measured before and after the implementation process through questionnaires. A 1-way ANOVA showed no differences in SR skills used by both groups. Results showed no differences in learning in both groups. A multiple regression was run to predict learning from group, disposition, and motivation variables. Results indicated the variable group as the most significant predicting the learning process. These results may encourage more research on SR strategies including a focus on different academic content, self-assessment instruments, and variables related to SR in MLE. These findings can contribute to positive social change in guiding teachers, students, and multimedia designers to develop MLE and SR processes to enhance student performance and obtain better academic results.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis undertakes a critical assessment of a very topical and highly debated question in the development of EU competition law: does the European Merger Control Regulation apply to concentrations that result in collective (or joint respectively oligopolistic) dominance? And, if so, under what conditions?The study suggests that the Merger Control Regulation does, indeed, cover cases of collective dominance. It recommends, however, that a proposed transaction should only be blocked on grounds of collective dominance if it raises substantive doubts that the transaction will create an anti-competitive market structure (like, for example, the Gencor/Lonrho case). Should the doubts not attain the required level, then a two-stage approach is suggested. The first stage would have to screen the proposed transaction as being reasonably capable of guaranteeing a competitive environment (despite the initial doubts as to the collective dominance issue). The second stage would be opened only if the Commission has legitimate reasons to believe that the firms concerned are effectively involved in either concerted practices (Art. 85 EEC Treaty) or in a collective abuse of a dominant position (Art. 86). Interestingly, the Commission seems to have adopted a similar approach in some of the latest border-line cases. After an extensive analysis of the landmark decision Nestle/Perrier, this thesis finds that the described two-stage approach would also have been appropriate in this case.

Texto completoResumen
The Environment Agency are responsible for the regulation of radioactive substances in England, which is a highly controversial area to regulate due to the public perception regarding the associated environmental and health impacts. This is further complicated by the Environment Agency’s primary aim of contributing towards sustainable development, which is another controversial and contested concept. The principles of good regulation require a proportionate approach, which can be considered a key component of sustainable development also. However, published literature asserts that the regulation of radioactive discharges is disproportionate, which lacks verifiable data on the regulatory compliance costs and impacts imposed. This also implies that the regulation may not contribute towards sustainable development, which is compounded by the ambiguity of this requirement in the regulatory framework. This thesis therefore seeks to evaluate whether the Environment Agency is achieving its primary aim of contributing towards sustainable development in its regulation of radioactive discharges. To this end, this study sought to identify the interpretation of sustainable development that the law, policy and guidance for the regulation of radioactive discharges requires the Environment Agency to adhere to, and then collect data to assess whether this is being implemented. To achieve this, the law, policy and guidance for the regulation of radioactive discharges has been mapped on to an enhanced sliding-scale of sustainable development interpretations. This has revealed that the regulatory framework drives the Environment Agency to adhere to the newly developed interpretation of stronger sustainability, which requires a proportionate approach to be applied within the limitations of the environment. The regulation applied to Sellafield’s radioactive discharges has then been assessed against this stronger sustainability paradigm. The data collected confirms discharges are within environmental limits and that the regulation has resulted in direct compliance costs of £120 million between 2002 and 2009 without yielding any benefit to the environment in terms of a reduction in collective dose. The measured costs and benefits have been supplemented by a qualitative analysis of impacts that cannot be quantified, and these reinforce the contention that the regulatory approach at Sellafield is disproportionate and therefore inconsistent with stronger sustainability. A likely cause of the disproportionate regulatory approach is attributed to stakeholder and political pressures. Improvements have been proposed to address the disproportionate approach, which have already influenced the removal of some discharge limitations.

Adewoye, Oluwakemi. "The Effects of Professional Development and Formative Assessment Quality on Students' Self-Regulation in Primary School Mathematics". ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5599.
Texto completoResumen
Student self-regulation is associated with mathematics achievement in Nigerian primary schools, and formative assessment holds promise for increasing self-regulation. However, to date no research has explored teacher professional development (PD) for formative assessment and its effects on students' self-regulation in Nigerian primary schools. This quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design used Desimone's teacher professional development conceptual framework, Popham's model for practicing formative assessment, and Zimmerman's concept of self-regulated learning. Research questions concerned whether differences existed in teachers' practice and students' self-regulation between two groups of Nigerian primary school mathematics teachers who received variations of professional development. The sample was 13 volunteer mathematics teachers (7 in a workshop plus follow-up group and 6 in a workshop-only group) and 183 students from 7 primary schools. Teacher formative assessment quality (FAQ) data was collected from 3 classroom observations and student end-of-project self-regulation was measured via a questionnaire. Descriptive analysis at the teacher level showed that teachers in the workshop-plus group had a higher level of FAQ than workshop-only teachers. A t test showed students with workshop-plus teachers had significantly higher self-regulation scores on average than students with workshop-only teachers, although FAQ did not correlate with students' self-regulation scores, possibly due to a small sample size. This study contributes to social change by providing supporting evidence for school administrators to provide workshop plus follow-up coaching PD to teachers to increase the quality of formative assessment, which may have implications for improving mathematics achievement among primary students in Nigeria.

Assessment of social and emotional learning (SEL) in young children is critical to understanding developmental progress and informing care and instruction. The current study investigated the development of a behavior rating scale designed to measure SEL skills in preschool-age children. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the development of a new strength-based assessment prototype, the Social-Emotional Assets and Resiliency Scale for Preschool (SEARS-Pre).
Items for the SEARS-Pre were developed based on a review of literature and existing measures and evaluated by a content validation panel of ten experts in the field. Following the content validation and revision process, local preschools were recruited to pilot the final SEARS-Pre measure. Eighteen instructors from three preschool programs in Oregon participated and completed a total of 94 SEARS-Pre rating forms for students in their classrooms.
Results from an exploratory factor analysis suggested three factors: Self-regulation/Social competence; 2) Emotion knowledge/Expression; and 3) Empathy/Responsibility. The scale demonstrated strong internal consistency, with alpha values of .95 for Factor 1 (Self-Regulation/Social Competence), .92 for Factor 2 (Emotion Knowledge/Expression), .90 for Factor 3 (Empathy/Responsibility), and .97 for the total score (all three factors).

Texto completoResumen
This qualitative study identified the strategies that secondary French teachers use in their classroom to show students that they have made progress in their learning. Six teachers participated in this study. Data were collected from interviews, class observations, and artifacts used by the teachers. The findings suggest that teachers use a variety of strategies to help their students to know that they have made progress. These strategies include various forms of formative assessments, self-assessments, and self-reflections. The findings reveal that teachers choose to use these strategies because they are able to help their students develop characteristics of autonomous learners.

Texto completoResumen
The cognitive regulation of negative emotions using a situational focused strategy require the activation of prefrontal and subcortical structures, in particular the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the amygdala (Amy). These structures present structural and functional abnormalities in bipolar disorder, a psychiatric illness characterised by an abnormal mood regulation. This thesis presents the assessment of physiological responses to a paradigm designed to assess the functioning of the DLPC and the Amy. This paradigm tests the response to stimuli of different valence and assesses the down-regulation of negative emotions. We employed GSR and HR with the goals to determine whether changes occurring at the central nervous system can be recorded at a peripheral level. We also wanted to see if these variations differed between individuals either affected or non-affected by bipolar disorder. Finally, this study assesses the usefulness of the designed paradigm to be used in a future study using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Results show that the recording of Heart Rate (HR) in non-affected individuals allows the detection of the exposure to negative stimuli and that the recording of the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) is sensitive to detecting the exposure to negative stimuli and as well as the effects of the cognitive regulation of negative emotions. These effects are not observed in the group affected by bipolar disorder who seem to have an attenuated response to the exposure to stimuli of difference valence and to the effects of the cognitive regulation of negative emotions.La régulation cognitive des émotions négatives avec une concentration sur la stratégie situationnelle demande l'utilisation de structures préfrontales et subcorticales, en particulier celles du cortex préfrontal dorsolateral et de l'amygdale. Ces structures présentent des anomalies structurelles et fonctionnelles dans les troubles bipolaires, maladie qui se caractérise par une anormale régulation de l'humeur. Cette thèse présente l'évaluation des réponses physiologiques à un paradigme désigné à évaluer le fonctionnalisme du cortex préfrontal dorsolateral et de l'amygdale. Ce paradigme évalue les réponses aux stimuli émotionnels visuels ainsi que la réponse à la régulation des émotions négatives. La conductance galvanique de la peau et le rythme cardiaque ont étés employés pour déterminer si les changements qui se présentent au niveau du system nerveux central peuvent être enregistrés au niveau périphérique. De plus, nous sommes intéressés à déterminer si ces changements varient entre les personnes atteintes et non atteintes de trouble bipolaire. Enfin, cette étude vise à étudier si le paradigme employé serait utile pour une étude à venir en imagerie cérébrale avec l'utilisation de résonance magnétique fonctionnelle. Les résultats de cette étude ont démontré que chez les individus non atteint de trouble bipolaire l'enregistrement du rythme cardiaque permet la détection à l'exposition aux stimuli négatifs. Les résultats ont aussi démontré que la conductance de la peau est sensible à détecter l'exposition aux stimuli négatifs ainsi que les effets de la régulation cognitive aux émotions négatives. Ces effets ne sont pas aperçue chez les sujets atteintes de trouble affective bipolaire, lesquels semblent avoir des réponses atténués à l'exposition aux stimuli de différents types émotionnels et à l'effet de la régulation cognitive des émotions négatives.

Texto completoResumen
Unexplained variations in organisational performance in healthcare are a continued focus of research, political, and public interest. Regulatory agencies are always seeking new ways to reduce variation and improve performance, and the use of approaches to develop improvement capability is increasingly encouraged. However, the regulatory perspective on improvement capability is under researched. This research study seeks to understand how regulatory agencies in the United Kingdom (UK) assess improvement capability within healthcare organisations. It explores how improvement capability is conceptualised, compares the regulatory arrangements across the UK, and examines assessment and enforcement policies and practices, before developing a conceptual framework for improvement capability. The research study uses data from 48 interviews, 90 regulatory policy documents and 30 assessment reports. Regulatory conceptualisations of improvement capability are explored through cross-case comparison and qualitative analysis. A review of 70 instruments and frameworks for the assessment of improvement capability from the literature identifies that there are plural conceptualisations of improvement capability. The findings from the review are synthesised into eight dimensions of improvement capability which are used to analyse the empirical data and to develop a conceptual framework. The analysis finds an emergent trend towards responsive regulatory models which aim to develop improvement capability. However, the analysis identifies ambiguity in regulatory agencies' conceptualisation of improvement capability with two dimensions of improvement capability used more frequently than others in regulatory assessments. Regulatory agencies need to clarify their conceptualisation of improvement capability and supplement their assessment processes to further understand local circumstances. This can be used to inform more flexible regulatory responses, including the tailored provision of improvement support to develop improvement capability. This requires greater regulatory effort and resources, and the analysis finds there are three areas of tension, linked to regulatory roles, resources and relationships. The research study proposes a conceptual framework of improvement capability that can be used to clarify regulatory conceptualisation and assessment of improvement capability. Greater conceptual clarity will strengthen regulatory agencies' assessment, diagnosis and prediction of organisational performance trajectories, and support the advancement of more appropriate, effective and responsive regulatory interventions, including the development of improvement capability.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this thesis was to assess the possible risk of myocardial infarction in work entailing exposure to vibration, and to study whether there is any relation between short-term exposure to vibration and cardiac regulation. Epidemiological methods were applied to investigate a possible association between occupational exposure to vibration and myocardial infarction. Two study populations were used; one case-control study (n=475) and one cohort of iron-ore miners in Kiruna and Malmberget, Sweden (n=13621). In the former, the cases were first-time myocardial infarction patients and the controls were selected to match for sex, age and hospital catchment area. Job-exposure matrixes for vibration were established for both the case-control study and the cohort study. In order to study acute effects on cardiac regulation, an experimental study was conducted on healthy subjects (n=20) who were exposed to hand-arm vibration exclusively and in combination with exposure to noise. The effect on the autonomic balance was measured by heart rate-variability. In the case-control study, an increased risk of contracting myocardial infarction was found among occupations entailing vibration exposure. The results from the cohort show an increased risk of myocardial infarction mortality compared to a reference population. The increment was higher for those younger than 60 years. Relative risks for myocardial infarction mortality increased with increasing exposure to vibration in the group at working-age and the increased risk remained after adjusting for exposure to dust. In the experimental study, exposure to hand-arm vibration was found to acutely affect the autonomic nervous system as the total heart-rate variability decreased during exposure to hand-arm vibration. To conclude: work entailing exposure to vibration is a risk factor for myocardial infarction, increased myocardial infarction mortality attributed to exposure to vibration seems to be mainly observed at working-age, and exposure to hand-arm vibration acutely decreases heart-rate variability and thus affects heart-rate regulation.

Texto completoResumen
This literature review examines two major areas: firstly, the impact of teachers’ knowledge about formative assessment on teachers' practices in the classroom; secondly, the role of formative assessment in raising students’ metacognition and how formative activities lead to raising students’ self-awareness and self-regulation. This paper also aims to shed light on the interdependence relation between formative assessment and teaching in general. Ten different primary studies relevant to formative assessment and its effects on teaching/learning have been chosen to investigate the formative assessment in relation with the school subjects and particularly with English as a Foreign Language. The data was collected by exploring different electronic websites. The results of this literature review show that teachers' knowledge of the formative assessment has significant influencing factors on their practices and on supporting students’ metacognition; however, the implementation of formative assessment continues to be hazy.

Texto completoResumen
Organisational and individual Health and Safety (H&S) competence is an essential element to the successful completion of a construction project in a safe way and without hazards to the health of all workforce. Under the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations 2007, the client should take reasonable steps to ensure that the appointed duty-holders and engaged people are H&S competent to design, build or co-ordinate the project. Although the CDM Regulations 2007 and its Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) have established ‘Core Criteria’ to guide the client to assess duty-holders’ H&S competence in the outset of a project, it is still difficult for most inexperienced clients to discharge the duty of making the key decisions in H&S competence assessment. In order to help the client implement H&S competence assessment, it is important to develop a tool that can effectively and efficiently support the client to make reasonable decisions in the selection of H&S competent duty-holders. According to the findings of the case study of existing formal H&S competence assessment schemes undertaken as part of this work, H&S competence assessment was characterised as a subjective, qualitative and non-linear regulation-compliance checking process. In addition, the case study helped identify the latent shortcomings in the ‘Core Critiera’ and the operational drawbacks in current practice of implementing H&S competence assessment. Based on a review of Information Technology (I.T.) and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) applications in construction, Knowledge-Based System (KBS) is identified as being a suitable tool to support decision-making in H&S competence assessment, mainly due to its appropriateness to solve regulation-compliance checking problems and support subjective and qualitative decision-making process. Following a decision-making framework for H&S competence assessment, a KBS decision-support model was developed, applying three mechanisms to support the reasonable decision-making for H&S competence assessment. In order to develop an appropriate and practical KBS for H&S competence assessment, a textual knowledge base was developed, specifying the minimum satisfaction standards and a rating indicator system for ‘Core Criteria’. As a result, an online KBS was developed using Java Server Pages (JSP) technology and MySQL. The online KBS applied the textual knowledge base to support the screen, rating, ranking and reporting decision-supporting mechanisms. Simultaneously, the case inquiry and expert inquiry facilities were also included in the KBS for effective decision-making. Finally, construction experts and practitioners in H&S management evaluated the validity and usability of the KBS through a questionnaire survey. The prototype KBS was borne out to be an effective and efficient decision-support tool for H&S competence assessment and have the potential to be applied in practice.

Texto completoResumen
This research examines the legal issues arising in the inter-relationship between climate change law and policy on the one hand, and international trade regulation on the other. The focus is government procurement. It looks at “green” government procurement (GPP) policies and practices used by the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol as a tool for climate change mitigation, and as it relates to these countries’ obligations under the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA). GPP is government purchase practice that favours goods, services and service suppliers that are more climate-friendly and energy efficient over similar others that are less so. For example, under the EU GPP policy, for climate reasons, procurement authorities have a preference for green electricity (generated from renewable sources) as against the conventional fossil-based electricity. The two types of “electricities” are ordinarily same products as far as their performance is concerned, that is, at the consumption level. Discriminating between the two has the potential to raise serious issues of law at WTO level.Under the WTO non-discrimination disciplines (GATT Arts. I and III, and GPA Art.III) product or service standards based on non-product related processes and production methods (PPMs) such as climate friendliness should not serve to permit differentiation in treatment between “like” products. The general exceptions provisions (GATT Art. XX(b) and (g) and GPA Art. XXIII) however, may permit such climate-related differential measures if they are: (1) necessary to achieve the legitimate policy objective intended, (2) not applied in a discriminatory manner and (3) not a disguised restriction on international trade. There are two issues of major concern to this study: First, there are textual discrepancies as between the GATT and GPA provisions related both to the nondiscrimination norms and the exceptions, which may pose interpretation difficulties in the event of a dispute. Secondly, the provisions of GATT Art. XX (b) and (g) are interpreted to refer to environment in general terms. However, the current trend is to single out and address climate change separately from among other environmental problems of transboundary nature. This is in view of the urgency associated with the challenge it poses. Generally, also, in accordance with established WTO jurisprudence, the party who invokes the GATT Art. XX exceptions bears the burden to prove the measure in question as being covered under the exceptions. Some scholars suggest that this situation places at a disadvantage the subjects covered by the exception provisions (in this case climate-related procurement). Examined, therefore, is not only the extent to which GPP practices can be accommodated under these exceptions, which are also in line with the WTO’s recognition of the principles of sustainable development, but also whether climate-friendly procurement is best protected if expressly provided for as “positive norm” in the text of the GPA. The Revised GPA 2007 (not yet in force) contains a new paragraph (Art. X:6) which explicitly permits the Parties to include environmental considerations in their procurement policies. This study argues that the revision would not fundamentally address the issues observed earlier. In order to avoid the interpretation difficulties envisaged, and to promote mutual supportiveness and coherence between the climate and trade regimes further amendment would be necessary to the text of Art. XXIII of the GPA to the general exceptions, or in the alternative, to Art. X:6 of the Revised GPA. The amendment should, subject to appropriate conditions, explicitly permit discriminatory GP measures meant to address climate change subject. This amendment would effectively shift the burden of proof from the Party maintaining the measure to the one complaining against it. In the final analysis, this research will contribute to the current discourse on what role the WTO may play in the efforts to fashion out new international climate policy to succeed the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC by 2012.

Texto completoResumen
On May 25 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation from EU was introduced, which aims to protect individual fundamental rights and freedoms, in particular their right to protection of personal data. The data protection regulation replaces the EU's previous data protection directive and will help prevent the flow of data within the Union being hindered, as the data protection ordinance will apply to all members of EU. This case study aims to gaining an understanding of how different organisations’ risk management against the data protection regulation looks, and whether it will lead to compliance or not. Four Swedish organisations have been studied, presented, and then analysed based on a theoretical framework, designed after the different parts of a general risk management process. The study is of qualitative form and data have been collected through both semi structured and structured interviews. The data protection regulation was not yet implemented during the course of this study, and it was during this time that all parts were designed and the information was collected. The study concludes that the organizations will not be completely compliant against the data protection regulation, which has a number of reasons: They do not take the regulation seriously, they are wrongly doing the change which lengthens the processes, and they delay their compliance due to greater economic profit.Den 25 maj 2018 infördes EU:s dataskyddsförordning General Data Protection Regulation, som syftar till att skydda enskildas grundläggande rättigheter och friheter, särskilt deras rätt till skydd av personuppgifter. Dataskyddsförordningen ersatte EU:s tidigare dataskyddsdirektiv, och kommer bidra till att flödet av uppgifter inom unionen inte hindras på grund av att olika länder har olika lagar gällande dataskydd och personuppgifter, då dataskyddsförordningen kommer tillämpas alla medlemsstater inom EU. Syftet med denna studie är att ge en ökad förståelse kring hur olika organisationers riskbedömning gentemot dataskyddsförordningen ser ut, och om den kommer leda till att dataskyddsförordningen efterföljs eller ej. Fyra svenska organisationer har studerats, redovisats och sedan analyserats utifrån ett teoretiskt ramverk utformat efter en generell riskbedömnings olika delar. Studien är av kvalitativ form och data har samlats in genom både semistrukturerade och strukturerade intervjuer. Dataskyddsförordningen var inte implementerad under studiens gång, och det var under denna tid som samtliga delar utformades och informationen samlades in. Studien kommer fram till att organisationerna inte kommer vara helt lagenliga gentemot dataskyddsförordningens införande, vilket beror på flera olika anledningar: Förordningen tas inte på fullt allvar, förändringsarbetet görs på fel sätt vilket förlänger processen och efterlevnaden skjuts upp på grund av ekonomiska skäl.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the attention to positive emotions and to the mechanisms underlying the regulation of positive experiences. The present dissertation is composed of six studies: Five of them have already been published in indexed journals, whereas one article has been submitted to a scientifically relevant journal. Three theoretical chapters are presented, which support the use of the EMA approach to the study of daily emotional dynamics. Subsequently, three experimental studies are provided, which aim at exploring how people anticipate, savor and recall positive emotional experiences. Results show the importance of recalling and anticipating positive emotions as a strategy to increase well-being. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the existence of a highly adaptive mechanism that makes it possible to upregulate positive emotions when experiencing low affect. Overall, these studies represent a valid contribution to the field, suggesting the importance of positive regulation for mental health.La tesis se enmarca en una línea de investigación novedosa y relevante: la comprensión de la regulación de estados afectivos positivos. La tesis doctoral incluye seis estudios, cinco de los cuales ya han sido publicados en revistas indexadas en JCR y uno de ellos se encuentra en proceso de aceptación. Los trabajos iniciales fundamentan metodológicamente los estudios experimentales que se incluyen en el trabajo de tesis doctoral y apoyan la utilidad de la evaluación ecológica momentánea mediante TICs en el estudio de la dinámica de las emociones. Los resultados confirman la hipótesis de que anticipar y recordar estados emocionales positivos es una estrategia eficaz para una buena regulación emocional y está relacionado con un aumento del bienestar. Los datos también demuestran que la existencia de un mecanismo adaptativo que permite a los individuos reparar el afecto negativo y mantener el afecto positivo. En definitiva, los resultados contribuyen a avanzar el conocimiento sobre la importancia de las emociones positivas.

Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Engelska institutionen, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-144051.
Texto completoResumen
The Swedish National Agency for Education recently begun explicitly promoting teaching through self-regulation strategies in national steering documents intended for teachers, following a number of other countries world wide (Skolverket, 2012; LGY 11; Dalland & Klette, 2016). The goal of self-regulation strategies is for the students to take control of their own learning process, and though there is research on the benefits of self-regulation strategies and motivation, these ideas are based on abstract concepts and biological processes in the brain, that are very difficult to measure (Zimmerman, 1990; Hattie, 2012; Simpson & Balsam, 2016; Schumann, 2004). As such, more research on these strategies is warranted, and little has been done to evaluate their effects on Swedish upper secondary school students. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to attempt to operationalize the theoretical concepts of self-regulation strategies in order to calculate the correlation between students perceived usage of self-regulation strategies, and English performance, with a special focus on motivation. This was done by operationalizing motivation and self-regulation strategies into six variables based on previous research, and then surveying 40 English 05 (year one) students at Enskilda Gymnasiet upper secondary school in Stockholm, and then running correlation tests with their grades from a grammar test the week after the survey, as well as with their overall grade from the previous year. The results showed almost no statistically significant correlations between the students´ grades, and the students self-reported usage of self-regulation strategies. The exception was a statistically significant positive correlation between high levels of intrinsic motivation and good grades. The causes of these results are not specified within the parameters of this research project, however, it could be that there simply were no correlations between the perceived usage of self-regulation strategies and performance due to the strategies not having an effect on performance, or because the strategies were not being used properly. However, it could also be that the operationalizing of the variables in the questionnaire did not generate accurate levels of usage of these strategies. Either way, the results of this essay stress the need for further research that evaluates the effect of self-regulation strategies and motivation on learning English.

Texto completoResumen
This study examined relationships between college students’ writing achievement goal orientations, writing self-regulation, and writing grades. The study was conducted in a postsecondary setting at a large public university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Using multivariate quantitative techniques (confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling), survey and writing sample data were gathered to address the following research questions: Do college students’ writing achievement goals relate to their writing grades; do college students’ writing achievement goals relate to their writing self-regulation; and, does writing self-regulation partially mediate the relationship between writing achievement goals and writing grades in college writing classrooms? A convenience sample of 107 participants completed both the survey and writing prompt portions of the study. Findings showed that all three writing achievement goal orientations tested (mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance) were related to college students’ writing self-regulation. However, only writing performance-approach orientation was related to college students’ writing grades.
Additionally, writing self-regualtion did not partially mediate the relationship between all three writing achievement goal orientations and writing grades as expected. Writing self-regulation did fully mediate the relationships between writing mastery and performance-avoidance goal orientations and writing grades, but failed to mediate the relationship between writing performance-approach goal orientation and writing grades. These findings contradict some of the prior literature on achievement goal orientations and self-regulation. However, these results help bridge a gap in the achievement goal orientation and self-regulation research, as prior studies have predominantly focused on PK-12 settings and domains other than writing (reading, mathematics, science, etc.). The findings from this study are limited by the size and nature of the sample, and the survey items used. Future studies should attempt to gather further insight into the goals college students set for their writing, how those goals impact their self-regulation behaviors, and ultimately their writing grades.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis participates to the effort launched after the Fukushima-Daiichi disaster to improve the robustness of national institutions involved in nuclear safety because of the role that the failing nuclear regulator had in the accident. The driving idea is to investigate how engineering techniques used in high-risk industries can be applied to institutions involved in nuclear safety to improve their robustness. The thesis focuses specifically on the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the British nuclear regulator, and its process for structured inspections. The first part of the thesis demonstrates that the hazard and operability (HAZOP) technique, used in the nuclear industry to identify hazards associated with an activity, can be adapted to qualitatively assess the robustness of organisational processes. The HAZOP method was applied to the ONR inspection process and led to the identification of five significant failures or errors. These are: failure to focus on an area/topic deserving regulatory attention; failure to evaluate an area/topic of interest; failure to identify a non-compliance; failure to identify the underlying issue, its full extent and/or safety significance and failure to adequately share inspection findings. In addition, the study identified the main causal chains leading to each failure. The safeguards of the process, i.e. the mechanisms in place to prevent, detect, resolve and mitigate possible failures, were then analysed to assess the robustness of the inspection process. The principal safeguard found is the superintending inspector who performs reviews of inspection reports and debriefs inspectors after inspections. It was concluded that the inspection process is robust provided recruitment and training excellence. However, given the predominant role of the superintending inspector, the robustness of the process could be improved by increasing the diversity of safeguards. Finally, suggestions for improvement were made such as establishing a formal handover procedure between former and new site inspectors, formalising and generalising the shadowing scheme between inspectors and setting minimum standards for inspection debriefs. These results were shared with ONR, which had reached the same conclusions independently, thus validating the new application for the HAZOP method. The second part of the thesis demonstrates that computational modelling techniques can be used to build digital twins of institutions involved in safety which can then be used to assess their effectiveness. The knowledge learned thanks to the HAZOP study was used in association with computational modelling techniques to build a digital twin of the ONR and its structural inspection process along with a simple model of a nuclear plant. The model was validated using the face-validity and predictive validation processes. They respectively involved an experienced ONR inspector checking the validity of the model’s procedures and decision-making processes and comparing the model’s output for oversight work done to data provided by the ONR. The effectiveness of the ONR was then evaluated using a scenario where a hypothetical, newly discovered phenomenon threatens the integrity of the plant, with ONR inspectors gradually learning and sharing new information about it. Monte-Carlo simulation was used to estimate the cost of regulatory oversight and the probability that the ONR model detects and resolves the issue introduced before it causes an accident. Different arrangements were tested and in particular with a superintending inspector reviewing inspection reports and a formal information sharing process. For this scenario, these two improvements were found to have a similar impact on the success probability. However, the former achieves it for only half the cost.

Texto completoResumen
Traditional theories of industrial restructuring assign the most explanatory weight of the structural change phenomenon to increasing pressures via globalization and falling trade barriers. This thesis offers a new model of thinking about industrial restructuring that includes multiple stressors. The thesis focuses on three main drivers of structural change: market pressures, environmental regulation and changes in land use and land pricing, using two case studies of leather and footwear industrial clusters in Mexico, located in the cities of León and Guadalajara. Evidence of multiple drivers of structural change is found in the dissertation. Furthermore, responses to restructuring drivers in León and Guadalajara are found to be substantially different. Firms in the leather and footwear cluster in León have implemented countervailing strategies such as price competition, government lobbying, and more recently, investment in socio-economic research (competitiveness) projects. However, firms in the leather and footwear cluster in Guadalajara focused on a specific, high-end target market. At the larger, urban scale, footwear and its allied industries in the city of León resisted change and have tried to remain in operation while the city of Guadalajara has focused on a diversification strategy, attracting new (arguably more technically advanced) industries. This thesis offers empirical and theoretical advances. Empirically, it applies a firm demographics approach to the study of industrial clusters under multiple stressors. This approach has not been previously used on Mexican data. Theoretically, it demonstrates that future analyses of industrial complexes’ structural change can be strengthened through the use of an integrated assessment framework investigating the effect of multiple stressors (market forces, land pricing, technical change, environmental regulations, and consumer preferences) on industrial restructuring.

Texto completoResumen
The Common Sense Self Regulation Model (CS-SRM) proposes that individuals represent threats to their health both cognitively and emotionally. The theory proposes that how the individual cognitively represented their condition and their parallel emotional representation, combine to form an Illness Representation (IR) which directs self-regulatory behaviour. Aims were to explore the applicability of IRs to people with a diagnosis of dementia, caregivers and health care professionals. A secondary aim was to develop a dementia specific Illness Perception Questionnaire Revised (IPQ-R) to elicit the IRs of people with a diagnosis and those involved in their care. Qualitative analysis of both spontaneous writing and interviews, plus quantitative survey methodologies were used to elicit how people represent dementia and develop a dementia specific IPQ. These investigations found that people with a diagnosis of dementia do represent their condition in terms of IRs without prompting. However, when prompted, additional IR content is elicited. A Discriminant Content Validity study found that items in the IPQ-R can operationalise IRs. However, some items were judged by those unfamiliar with the model to measure constructs other than intended. Interview data was used to create a dementia specific IPQ-R. Versions were also created to elicit how caregivers and health care professionals think that the person represents their condition. Results suggest that IRs can be used to systematically explore shared and discrepant understandings. Taken together the results presented in this thesis suggest that IRs can improve our understanding of how dementia is thought about.

Texto completoResumen
Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) are used as an important regulatory instrument to protect workers’ health from adverse effects of chemical exposures. The OELs mirror the outcome of the risk assessment and risk management performed by the standard setting actor. In paper I the OELs established by 18 different organisations or national regulatory agencies from the industrialised world were compared. The comparison concerned: (1) what chemicals have been selected and (2) the average level of exposure limits for all chemicals. In paper II the OELs established by 7 different national regulatory agencies of EU member states are compared to those of the European Commission (EC). In addition to the same comparisons as performed in the first study a comparison level was introduced (3) the similarity between the OELs of these EU member states and the OELs recommended by the EC.
List of OELs were collected through the web-pages of, and e-mail communication with the standard-setting agencies. The selection of agencies was determined by availability of the lists. The database of paper I contains OELs for a total of 1341 substances; of these 25 substances have OELs from all 18 organisations while more than one third of the substances are only regulated by one organisation alone. In paper II this database was narrowed down to the European perspective. The average level of OELs differs substantially between organisations; the US OSHA exposure limits are (on average) nearly 40 % higher than those of Poland. Also within Europe there was a nearly as large difference. The average level of lists tends to decrease over time, although there are exceptions to this. The similarity index in paper II indicates that the exposure limits of EU member states are converging towards the European Commission’s recommended OELs. These two studies also showed that OELs for the same substance can vary significantly between different standard-setters. The work presented in paper III identifies steps in the risk assessment that could account for these differences. Substances for which the level of OELs vary by a factor of 100 or more were identified and their documentation sought for further scrutiny. Differences in the identification of the critical effect could explain the different level of the OELs for half of the substances. The results reported in paper III also confirm the tendency of older OELs generally being higher. Furthermore, several OELs were more than 30 years old and were based on out-dated knowledge. But the age of the data review could not account for all the differences in data selection, only one fifth of the documents referred to all available key studies. Also the evaluation of the key studies varied significantly.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis was focused on the influence of the tax practice of the courts on the assessment of a tax and the retrospective assessment in the Czech Republic. The purpose was to find out if the present law about the tax and fees administration is a sufficient procedural tax norm and if the existing practice of the courts provides us by its interpretation and integral attitude with reasonable juristic certainty of the tax subjects as well as the tax administrator when in the assessment of a tax and retrospective assessment process. Furthermore the new procedural norm which is just being approved these days in law area was examined: if it brings more suitable legal regulations in the selected areas and if it takes into account the conclusions of the practice of the courts. Finally the conclusions which confirmed expectations in the beginning of this thesis were made. The tax administration law can't act as the basic tax norm because its actual reading contains too many deficiencies. Thereunto from the downright analysis arises that the practice of the courts, which is disunited in its resolutions, for ensuring the integral and right procedure of tax assessment and retrospective assessment can't act. The present situation could be improved by coming into enter be of the new procedural tax law -- The Tax Regulation.

Texto completoResumen
The cyber domain poses great challenges to the existing international law framework, resulting in the international community's frustration in finding sustainable long-term solutions to the international regulation of cyberspace. This thesis reflects upon foundational concepts of the jus ad bellum framework, such as State sovereignty and the use of force. The principal issue discussed in this thesis is the emergence of a customary international norm prohibiting violations of sovereignty, essentially targeting lowintensity cyber attacks. Violations of sovereignty were classified as a primary rule in Rule 4 of the Tallinn Manual 2.0 (2017), which sparked a debate about the rule's true existence as a customary norm. This thesis assesses whether violations of sovereignty can currently be extrapolated as a primary rule of customary international law. It thereafter discusses the need for such a rule, as well as the risks of such a rule emerging as a customary norm.

Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2016. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=230152.
Texto completoResumen
Within the European Union, the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation 2006, requires the registration of chemicals by manufacturers and suppliers by a number of deadlines from 2008- 2018. Registrants must prepare a dossier of substance information, incorporating a chemical safety report and exposure assessment for the work activities for which the substance is used. Several computer-based screening (Tier 1) tools mentioned in the REACH guidance are used by Registrants to assess exposure: the ECETOC Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA); STOFFENMANAGER®; the EMKG-EXPO-TOOL and MEASE. As screening tools, they are expected to generate overestimates of exposure, thus allowing identification of situations of concern requiring more detailed assessment. The study aimed to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the tools' validity, by comparison of their predictions with workplace measurements of inhalation exposure and their reliability, through assessment of consistency of operation by different users. Comparison of tool predictions of exposure with measurement data (n=3941) from a wide range of European and North American sources suggested that the tools generated overestimates in the majority of cases, with exceptions noted in certain process types and substance forms. Extremely large variability was observed in tool outputs generated by a group of representative users (n=146) when assessing identical exposure situations. A small number of input parameters drove most of the variation; the task descriptor, risk management measures and type of setting. Further calibration and review of the tool predictions are required to ensure that they generate consistent overestimates of exposure. Systems should be implemented to reduce between-user variability, for example user certification; round-robin exercises and team-based assessments. The study findings will assist in increasing the consistency of use and validity of the tools, thus increasing the overall levels of worker health protection and minimising unnecessary business risk management expenditure on redundant exposure controls.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract A key challenge in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is determination of environmental flow (EF). This is relevant in all water use scenarios and river regulation work. Water use and management alter water availability for ecosystems and the timing and distribution of runoff. Increased water consumption and allocation of water to different types of consumption impose pressures on aquatic ecosystems, affecting their status and ability to deliver important services, well–known examples being the Aral Sea in Asia and Lake Chad in Africa. This thesis presents new methods to determine the impacts of hydraulic structures on the flow regime of lakes and rivers. Methods to quantify different characteristics of flow in a non–dimensionless way are also presented. These tools allow more environment–based regulation of flow regimes. By using three main flow characteristics of river regime (magnitude, timing and intra–annual), three impact factors, MIF (magnitude impact factor), TIF (timing impact factor) and VIF (variation impact factor), were developed. Combining these impact factors produced a new river impact (RI) index to assess the impacts of hydraulic structure using monthly flow data. Based on RI variations, a classification was developed rating impacts along a scale from ‘Low’ to ‘Drastic’. The importance of climate patterns and river flow regime in controlling lake levels was examined. The lake simulation results were compared using a new index, Degree of Lake Wetness (DLW) and lake response time to changes in hydrology or climate was evaluated. Environmental flow allocation and optimisation of annual EF distribution are critical for ecosystem health. Flow release from reservoirs can be partly supplemented or compensated for by natural runoff from downstream (residual) catchment areas. In a new hydrological approach, optimal intra–annual flow regime for EF can be estimated while considering water inflow from the downstream residual sub-catchment. This thesis provides methods and indices to help quantify river and lake regimes, better understand the possible impacts of changes and manage these impacts optimally. This knowledge is crucial for decision making about EF regimes and achieving water release patterns from dams and hydropower that minimise the hydrological, morphological and biological impactsTiivistelmä Integroidun vesivarojen suunnittelun ja hallinnan (IWRM) yhtenä haasteena on ympäristövirtaaman määrittäminen valuma–alue-tasolla. Tämä on tärkeää arvioitaessa säännöstelyn ja vesirakentamisen ympäristövaikutuksia. Vedenkäyttö ja hallinta muuttavat veden saatavuutta jokiekosysteemissä ja virtaaman vuosittaista ajoittumista sekä jakautumista eri kuukausien välillä. Vesivarojen lisääntyvä käyttö eri tarkoituksiin voi vaikuttaa vesiekosysteemeihin ja niiden tuottamiin ekosysteemipalveluihin. Aral–järvi Aasiassa ja Chad–järvi Afrikassa ovat hyviä esimerkkejä veden liiallisesta käytöstä ja ympäristönäkökulman huomiotta jättämisestä. Väitöstyön keskeisin tavoite oli kehittää menetelmiä, joilla voidaan arvioida miten vesirakentaminen vaikuttaa jokien virtaamiin ja järvien vedenpintoihin. Jotta vesistövaikutuksia voidaan yleistää, menetelmät kehitettiin dimensiottomiksi. Nämä menetelmät luovat perustan ympäristöystävällisemmällä vesistöjen virtaamien säännöstelylle. Käyttäen kuukausittaista keskivirtaamaa ja kolmea tyypillisintä virtaamaluokkaa (suuruus, ajoittuminen ja vuodenaikainen vaihtelu), määritettiin uusi yhdistetty jokivaikutusindeksi (RI). Tämän indeksin avulla voitiin lopulta arvioida vesirakentamisen vaikutusta. Perustuen RI-indeksiin, usean joen vesirakentamisen vaikutuksia arvioitiin luokittelemalla vaikutukset vähäisiksi tai merkittäviksi. Työssä tarkasteltiin ilmaston vaihtelun ja jokien virtaamaolosuhteiden vaikutusta järvien vedenpintoihin. Järvisimuloinnin tuloksia verrattiin puolestaan käyttäen indeksiä, joka kuvaa järvessä tapahtuvia muutoksia suhteessa hydrologisiin ja ilmastollisiin olosuhteisiin. Väitöskirja käsittelee myös ympäristövirtaamien (EF) keskeisiä kysymyksiä: vedenkäytön jakautumista ja vuosittaisen virtaaman optimointia ympäristövirtaaman näkökulmasta. Työssä käytetään uutta hydrologista lähestymistapaa arvioimaan ympäristövirtaaman optimoitua kausivirtaamavaihtelua. Tässä lähestymistavassa vesivarastoaltaista lähtevää virtaamaa voidaan osittain täydentää tai kompensoida alapuoliselta valuma–alueelta tulevalla virtaamalla. Väitöstyön tulokset lisäävät ymmärrystä vesivarojen kestävästä käytöstä. Lisäksi työssä kehitetyillä menetelmillä voidaan määrittää ja optimoida jokien ja järvien virtaamaolosuhteita erilaisissa tilanteissa. Väitöstyö tarjoaa uusia käytäntöjä päätöksentekoon liittyen ympäristövirtaamaolosuhteisiin ja -jakaumiin vesivoima- ja vedenkäyttökysymyksissä ottaen huomioon hydrologiset, morfologiset ja biologiset rajoitteet

CAPEs
Cada vez mais é necessário criar cenários de aprendizagem que oportunizem a promoção do pensamento computacional na educação básica, uma vez que tal habilidade pode promover a capacidade de resolução de problemas, além de apoiar e relacionar-se com outras ciências. Atrelado a isto, há a necessidade de engajar os aprendizes em atividades de reflexão durante sua formação em conceitos fundamentais da Computação. Sob a ótica da aprendizagem autorregulada, a reflexão, especificamente a autorreflexão, desempenha um papel primordial no processo de aprendizagem, permitindo que os estudantes avaliem o próprio conhecimento na tentativa de identificar as causas dos seus próprios erros e acertos acadêmicos. Os aprendizes podem realizar essas atividades de reflexão e avaliação da aprendizagem individualmente e em colaboração com seus pares. Neste cenário, um modelo colaborativo, intitulado penC, foi concebido para introduzir práticas de autorregulação no contexto do ensino e da aprendizagem do pensamento computacional no ensino médio. O penC foi construído a partir de um estudo exploratório e avaliado por professores, especialistas em áreas contempladas no modelo. Tal avaliação evidenciou fatores que possivelmente contribuem para a autorregulação e a aprendizagem do pensamento computacional, bem como aqueles que requerem melhorias. Ainda, trouxe implicações para o design de uma ferramenta que implementa o penC. A partir de tais resultados, o modelo foi refinado, implementado e avaliado, por meio de um quasi-experimento, durante um curso de desenvolvimento de jogos digitais que introduziu conceitos de lógica de programação em iniciantes na área. Os resultados obtidos com o estudo experimental evidenciam a contribuição da proposta na formação dos estudantes, tendo impacto positivo sobre a autorregulação e a aprendizagem do pensamento computacional repercutindo, ainda, na jogabilidade de games produzidos durante a formação dos participantes em conceitos introdutórios de programação. Adicionalmente, o professor avaliou positivamente a experiência com o uso do modelo proposto e relatou a percepção de resultados positivos sobre a formação de seus estudantes.
There is an increasing need to create learning environments that enable the promotion of computational thinking in basic education, once this ability can promote the skill of solving problems, besides supporting and relating to other sciences. Linked to this, there is the need to engage learners in reflection activities during their education on fundamental concepts of computer science. From the perspective of self-regulated learning, reflection - especially self-reflection - plays an essential role in the learning process, allowing students to assess their own knowledge as an attempt to identify the causes of their own mistakes and academic achievements. Learners can perform such activities of reflection and evaluation of learning individually and in collaboration with their peers. In this scenario, a collaborative model called penC is designed to introduce self-regulation practices in the context of teaching and learning of computational thinking in high school. The penC was built from an exploratory study and evaluated by teachers, experts in areas included in the model. Such evaluation highlighted factors that possibly contribute to the self-regulation and learning of computational thinking as well as those in need of improvement. It also brought consequences for the design of a tool that implements the penC. From these results, the model was refined, implemented and evaluated, through a quasi-experiment, during a course of development of digital games that introduced concepts of programming logic to beginners of this area. The results obtained with the experimental study demonstrate the contribution of the proposal on the education of students, generating positive impact on self-regulation and learning of computational thinking and also repercussions in playability of games produced during the education on introductory concepts of programming. Moreover, the teacher evaluated the experience with the use of the proposed model as positive and reported the perception of positive results on the education process of the students.
