What happens when global market-oriented models for auditing and quality assessment are taken up by local parishes? The paper is based on case studies where a number of parishes and auditing models provide the object of study. Parishes are to some extent restrictive about embracing new ideas on auditing and quality control. With assistance from neo-institutional theory it can be shown that the co
The dual control problem for time-varying or non-linear systems is inherently analytically and computationally untractable due to the demand of alternating minimizations and mean value computations. Hence, it has to be approached using approximations leading to suboptimal dual control. The core of the successful approximative controller is its ability to be able to consider future changes in the d
Since 1970s the development and introduction of heat pumps have been supported as a strategy to improve energy efficiency in Sweden and Switzerland. Several policy instruments have been applied, such as R&D, subsidies/electricity price incentives, labelling and quality test centres. The justification of introducing heat pumps as an energy-efficient end use technology was, in general, to decrea
The aim of this report is to give an overview on previous research on HMI, relevant for the concept of “Safe Speed and Safe Distance”. The review of the literature shows that providing the driver with relevant, timely information is of paramount importance. The ideal HMI system gives the driver concise but comprehensive timely information allowing him/her sufficient time for reading and understan

This doctoral dissertation deals with a phenomenon that is often referred to in sports, but still poorly understood from a scientific angle: psychological momentum (PM). No consensus has been agreed on how to label this phenomenon, and other terms such as momentum or behavioural momentum (BM) are often used interchangeably. In everyday language, PM can be explained by periods in a match where ever
