Competition law and economic regulation ::making and managing markets /
No full textNiamh Dunne undertakes a systematic exploration of the relationship between competition law and economic regulation as legal mechanisms of market control. Beginning from a theoretical assessment of these legal instruments as discrete mechanisms, the author goes on to address numerous facets of the substantive interrelationship between competition law and economic regulation. She considers, amongst other aspects, the concept of regulatory competition law; deregulation, liberalisation and 'regulation for competition'; the concurrent application of competition law in regulated markets; and relevant institutional aspects including market study procedures, the distribution of enforcement powers between competition agencies and sector regulators, and certain legal powers that demonstrate a 'hybridised' quality lying between competition law and economic regulation. Throughout her assessment, Dunne identifies and explores recurrent considerations that inform and shape the optimal relationship between these legal mechanisms within any jurisdiction

The Irish PECADO project: Population Estimates Compiled from Administrative Data Only
No full textThis thesis proposes a new system of Population Estimates Compiled from Administrative Data Only (PECADO) for Ireland. Ireland does not have a Central Population Register (CPR) upon which to develop population estimates in the manner of the Scandinavian and Dutch models. Ireland does have a strong system of Person Identification Numbers (PIN) that are used across public administration systems when a person interacts with public services. To the knowledge of the author no statistical agency in the absence of a Population register has yet compiled population estimates using administrative data only. The PECADO system of population estimates takes as its starting point the compilation of a Statistical Population Dataset (SPD) from administrative data sources using a signs of life (SoL) approach. The SoL approach only includes persons in the SPD where there is strong evidence that a person is alive and living in the state for a significant part of the reference year. The SPD is compiled with respect to a reference year. The SoL approach does not accept a person's registration on an administrative system as sufficient evidence for including that person in the SPD. The SPD counts are then adjusted for under-coverage using an adaptation of Dual System Estimation (DSE) methods. The second list or list B that is used in the PECADO DSE setup also comes from an administrative data source not previously used in the compilation of the SPD.The thesis considers the traditional DSE approach in the context of a Census under-coverage survey (UCS) (Wolter, 1986) and presents an alternative formulation of DSE methods that allows a relaxing of the strict assumptions associated with the traditional approach. This alternative formulation now facilitates DSE methods being applied in a much broader set of circumstances, in particular, where one list is derived from administrative data sources and the second list acts as the capture list where each person in the population has an equal probability of being caught (homogeneous capture assumption). The thesis then proposes an extension to the DSE methods, Trimmed Dual System Estimation (TDSE), that provides a tool to allow for the evaluation of suspect parts of the SPD for erroneous records. The thesis also considers the situation where the homogeneous capture assumption is weak and discovers that in certain situations this assumption may also be relaxed without introducing bias to the population estimate. We label these set of tools and methods the PECADO toolkit.The thesis presents and evaluates a set of population estimates using the PECADO toolkit. In particular, the thesis shows this system of population estimates to be plausible. The plausibility of the estimates is demonstrated by using the tools in the PECADO toolkit to provide reassurance the SPD does not contain erroneous records and to provide some reassurance that the second list compiled from administrative data sources does not introduce bias. The population estimates show some differences when compared with the Social Census counts. The conceptual differences can be reconciled when migration is factored in but the differences between the estimates are too large for this to be the sole explanation.The underlying DSE methodology is also considered with respect to using an administrative data list in place of a second eld operation to adjust traditional Census counts for under-coverage. We consider the 2016 Census. Ireland to date has not conducted a Census coverage survey and has relied on the diligence and motivation of the Census field force to ensure everybody is counted. Ireland plans to conduct a traditional UCS with a field operation as part of Census 2021. If an administrative list can be used instead of a second field survey then this approach will save significant time and money while also simplifying the application of underlying DSE methodologies.The PECADO system of population estimates is then further extended to estimate population flows, reusing the same administrative data sources as were used to compile population (stock) estimates. The resulting estimates of population flows (inflows= births + immigration, outflows = deaths + emigration) readily reconcile with the PECADO population (stock) estimates as this extension incorporates a coherent demographic accounting framework.The thesis concludes with some consideration of possible next steps that could be taken to disaggregate population estimates by detailed geography, how to incorporate attributes and how to build household units with a view to being able to compile Census like estimates on an annual basis
Psychopath characteristic on Amy Elliott Dunne as the main character in Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
No full textThis thesis attempts to analyze a good novelwritten by an author named Gillian Flynn, entitled Gone Girl. Gone Girl tells the story of a woman named Amy Elliott Dunne who haspsychopathicsyndrome due to pressure fromher parents and her husband. The purpose of this thesis is the first to find out the characteristics of Amy Elliott Dunne. The second to know some of the pressures that affect to her psychological conditions and make her become psychopath, especially the pressure in her marriage. While this thesis using descriptive analysis method. In the first method is to read the story of the novel; Second, the gathering of important parts which deal with the issues that will be discussed; third, analyze, use two theories, namely new criticism as the supporting theory and psychoanalisis Sigmund Freud as the main theory. And the fourth ended with a conclusion. In the results from this analysis, the researcher found that a lot of pressure can affect a persons’s psychological condition, as in natural by Amy Elliott Dunne a psychopath because of too much oppression in her lives
Non-invasive water content estimation in a tuff wall by DTS
No full textUndesired presence of water in historical masonries has a negative effect on the walls and causes deterioration of decorative works covering the walls, such as frescoes and valuable plasters. To prevent this, non-invasive moisture measurements are needed that avoid damage during masonry inspection caused by sample taking or probe insertion. Active heated distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with optical fibres is widely used in hydrology to assess soil moisture content. The aim of this study is to examine the potential of this technique for non-invasive water content measurements in a real scale wall. The tested masonry is made of yellow Neapolitan tuff bricks, a material widely used in historical buildings of Campania (Southern Italy). Distributed temperature measurements are carried out with three different heating strategies (different power and duration) during the drying process following the complete saturation of the wall. The acquired temperature data are then processed with three different methods (estimators), so to identify the best combination of heating strategy and data processing approach. Despite the presence of a significant bias, it is possible to identify relationships between the gravimetric moisture content and the different estimators. Those relationships are influenced to a large degree by the thermal contact between the DTS cable and the masonry. This research shows it is possible to measure water content in tuff masonry using non-invasive active heated fibre optic cable when establishing good thermal contact between the cable and the masonry.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Water Resource
