Evolución histórica de la autonomía de la voluntad en el Derecho matrimonial

2021

The autonomy of the will or power of self-regulation of relationships derived from marriage is a subject that is on the rise and that we can qualify as novel. More and more couples are opting to proceed making use of this power to self-regulate both personal and property effects derived from their union or its future breakdown. In the Spanish legal system there is no precise and complete regulation of the subject, without all these figures being equally legislated, although all are admitted without any doubt by jurisprudence. In recent years there has been an evolution of Family law, traditionally very reluctant to give space to self-regulation. Our Constitution marks a turning point by cha…

Modelling and Simulation of a Novel Liquamatic Fire Monitor A fully automated fire recognition- and suppression system based on infrared machine visi…

2015

Masteroppgave i mekatronikk - Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Background: Fire monitors are effective fire extinguishing apparatuses which combine high accuracy with long range. As part of the mechatronic trend, research has during recent years started to delve into the automation of re monitors. This involves proper actuation and control of re monitors in order to extinguish re. Up to this point, however, research has primarily been concerned with indoor operation. The aim of the present thesis is to develop a system for an electrically actuated re monitor which detects, localizes and suppresses re in an outdoor environment without the need for manual operation. Solution & Experiments: Fire is…

Redesign of Utility Robot for Carbothermic Test Reactor

2015

Masteroppgave i mekatronikk - Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Production of aluminum based on a carbothermic reaction is an exciting field of research. It could potentially reduce the energy consumption of aluminum production drastically. Alcoa Norway Carbothermic has been involved in the field of carbothermic aluminum research since 1998. As a part of development of their newest carbothermic test reactor, the Hot Bowl reactor, Alcoa Norway Carbothermic has proposed a thesis regarding redesign of a machine used to lower different types of measuring equipment down into the reactor, called the utility robot. This thesis describe the process leading up to a new utility robot solution. The new util…

Raske karrierer eller harmoniske familieliv? : En tematisk analyse av førsteamanuensers verdier i et kjønnsperspektiv

2021

Master's thesis in Sociology and social work (ME524) This thesis mainly centers around associate professors and what they express to be their core personal values with respect to work and life, in general, where these values are discussed in a gender perspective. Fewer women, than men, reach professorship at universities, and men on average also achieve this academic goal faster than women. The relationship between this gender imbalance and the personal values is the focal point of the discussion. The empirical evidence is based on five interviews with three female, and two male associate professors. Through qualitative methods and thematic analysis, the personal values such as teaching/sup…

Automatic stabilizers, fiscal rules and macroeconomic stability

2006

This paper analyzes the effect of the fiscal structure upon the trade-off between inflation and output stabilization in the presence of technological shocks in a DGE model with nominal and real rigidities. The model reproduces the main features of European economies and it integrates a rich menu of fiscal variables as well as a target on the debt to output ratio. The main result of this paper is that distortionary taxes tend to increase output volatility relative to lump-sum taxes unless substantial rigidities are present. We explore in detail the mechanisms that generate such a result, and the conditions under which the supply-side effects of distortionary taxes and the procyclical behavio…

Financialisation, regional economic development and the coronavirus crisis: a time for spatial monetary policy?

2021

Abstract This paper argues that ‘spatial monetary policy’ may be needed to achieve more territorially balanced economic development. Central banks have been key in fostering financialised economies while also preventing their collapse in times of crisis—a role further strengthened by the coronavirus pandemic. Central banks have thus become the most powerful economic policy-making institutions, just when spatial disparities are likely to deepen. In the context of crisis-ridden financialised capitalism, regional development policies should consider the spatial implications of central bank interventions and recognise monetary policy as a key element of spatial policy. Simultaneously, monetary …

The effect of body mass index, lower extremity performance, and use of a private car on incident life-space restriction: a two-year follow-up study

2018

Background: The purpose of the study was to explore the single and combined contributions of body mass index (BMI) and lower extremity performance as modifiable physical factors, and the influence of use of a private car as an environmental factor on prevalent and incident life-space restriction in community-dwelling older people. Methods: Community-dwelling people aged 75–90 years (n = 823) participated in the Life-Space Mobility in Old Age (LISPE) two-year follow-up study. Participants who reported that the largest life-space area they had attained, without aid from any device or another person, was the neighborhood or less were considered to have life-space restriction. Incident life-spa…
