Year: 2010

description: I foråret 2010 trådte en større ændring af bustrafikken på Vestegnen i kraft. Ændringen omfatter bustrafik i 4 kommuner og 1 region, og Movia forventer at det resulterer i 300.000 ekstra passagerer, uden at de samlede omkostninger til bustrafikken vil stige bemærkelsesværdigt. Strategien er et mere enkelt linjenet, for at få flere passagerer til at tage busserne og dermed opnå en bedre økonomi. Samtidig er der igangsat en række fælles tiltag i alle 7 kommuner på Vestegnen, som skal udbrede Erhvervskortet, sikre bedre trafikinformation og skabe øget fremkommelighed for busserne. De mange indsatser er resultatet af et langt forløb, som har understreget de mange udfordringer, som den kommunale busplanlægning står overfor, men som samtidig har vist, at det er muligt at skabe resultater gennem et vedholdende samarbejde.

Patterns of Translation of Metaphor in Annual Reports in American English and Mexican Spanish
Creators: name: Rodriguez Marquez, Maria de Montserrat
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2011

description: The main aim of this study is to identify patterns of translation between American English and Mexican Spanish of metaphors in the specialist language of economics, more specifically in the LSP of annual reports, using a bidirectional American English ⇔ Mexican Spanish parallel electronic corpus compiled specifically for the purpose. The chosen framework is Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) since it brings a new perspective: the study of metaphor in translation is no longer simply a matter of finding linguistic correspondences between two different languages, but of finding correspondences between two conceptual systems corresponding to two different cultures. Annual reports are one of the most frequent means of communication between companies and between companies and their shareholders, investors and financial authorities leading to a growing demand for their translation. Nevertheless, little or no attention has been paid to the study of annual reports from a translation perspective. Starting from the identification of linguistic metaphors and their underlying conceptual metaphors in the chosen source texts (US English; MX Spanish), the study sets out to explore how the linguistic metaphors identified are translated in the target texts (MX Spanish; US English) and whether the translations of the linguistic metaphors from the source texts (ST) are also instantiations of same conceptual metaphor as in the STs. Other possibilities include instantiations of a different conceptual metaphor, or the neutralisation of the metaphor. The method used to process the Bidirectional US English⇔ MX Spanish Parallel Corpus (BESPC) is based on the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) proposed by the Pragglejaz Group (2007), which has been extended for the purposes of this study to accommodate semi- automatic procedures for the identification of linguistic metaphors in running text and to infer conceptualmetaphors. The study reveals three patterns of metaphor translation, one anticipated and two new patterns. With regard to the conceptual analysis, no cultural differences are identified in the transfer of conceptual metaphors. The analysis also demonstrates that the extended MIP can be used to identify metonymy-motivated conceptual metaphors despite the fact that the procedure was not designed for that purpose. The first and foremost contribution of this study is that two new patterns of translation of metaphors have been identified. Another important contribution is that the extended MIP allows the semi-automatic identification of linguistic metaphors in a large data resource as well as the inference of the underlying conceptual metaphors in a systematic way. A ready-to-use bidirectional parallel specialised corpus of US English and MX Spanish is also a valuable output of this work for studying other issues in Translation Studies.

description: Artiklen vurderer effekten for emissionen og luftkvaliteten af miljøzonereglerne, som kræver partikelfiltre på ældre tunge køretøjer i de største byer. Det sker gennem målinger og modelberegninger. Det er vanskeligt, at måle en effekt af de nye miljøzoner på partikelforureningen, da reduktionen er beskeden, og andre forhold spiller ind. Samme resultat viser modelberegninger. Modelberegninger er gennemført for koncentrationen af PM10, PM2.5 og NO2 for 138 undersøgte trafikerede gader. Beregninger viser, at miljøzonekravene vil reducere antallet af overskridelser af grænseværdien for NO2 i 2010 fra 65 gader ud af de 138 gader til 35 pga. miljøzonekravene.

Microphone array beamforming for spatial audio object capture.
Creators: name: Blanco Galindo, Miguel
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020
Subjects: Microphone arrays Beamforming Spatial audio

description: Microphone arrays can capture a sound scene and can be combined with signal processing to spatially filter or beamform the scene to extract the source of interest by suppressing unwanted sounds. Microphone array beamforming has been widely used for speech enhancement, giving rise to a vast number of beamforming methods to optimally suppress interfering sounds. However, the opportunities of these systems in broadcast and consumer audio recording have not been investigated, where wideband capture is a requirement. In this case, the microphone array design plays a significant role, yet despite the various designs from the literature, it is not clear which geometry provides the best performance under a range of criteria relevant for these applications. Moreover, the interactions between the array geometry, the beamformer and other design parameters and their impact on both physical and perceptual quality of extracted audio sources have not been established. The main contribution of this thesis is to determine the uniform microphone array design that maximises the quality of extracted audio sources (or objects) from horizontal sound scenes, since most sound scenes have much larger variation in azimuth than elevation. Both physical and perceptual performance evaluations are conducted with a range of microphone geometries and beamforming methods showing that baffled circular arrays outperform alternative geometries both objectively (in terms of frequency range, spatial resolution, directivity and robustness) and perceptually (based on interference suppression and quality of target and overall sounds). New insights of the interactions between array geometries and beamformers are provided. Moreover, a subjective evaluation of beamforming methods is undertaken showing the benefits of the on-axis distortionless response in combination with very high directivity from the superdirective beamformer, particularly for wideband signals. In addition to the array geometry, the effects of directivity order and regularisation are further investigated to synthesise frequency-invariant directional responses with the least-squares beamformer. The results exhibit the trade-offs between directivity and robustness with regularisation and between directivity and frequency range with directivity order. Baffled circular arrays perform best consistently for different orders and regularisation parameters. Furthermore, an optimal regularisation parameter is derived that minimises the error between the target and synthesised responses in presence of manifold errors, outperforming constant robustness constraints particularly for gain and positioning errors whose optimal regularised responses are frequency dependent. The combination of simulation and perceptual results presented in this thesis represents a significant addition to the beamforming literature, potentially influencing the design of future compact microphone arrays.
France and the Forum

description: Buried in the communique of last month's Pacific Islands Forum, at item 30, is a single sentence: 'Leaders accepted French Polynesia and New Caledonia as full members of the Pacific Islands Forum.' Just a few words signalled a momentous change. Since its founding in 1971, the Forum has been an organisation made up exclusively of sovereign nations, linking Australia, New Zealand and independent island nations. But during their forty-seventh annual meeting at Pohnpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia, the Forum's leaders had decided to welcome two French-controlled territories as full members. The lack of any explanation or declaration in the communique reflects ongoing concerns about France's objectives among some member states, and awareness that other territories might also seek membership. The consensus decision was forged despite calls by leading Kanak and Maohi independence activists to defer a decision, in New Caledonia's case until after a scheduled referendum on independence in 2018.

description: Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) living with HIV often experience sub-optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment outcomes, including HIV plasma viral load (PVL) rebound. While previous studies have identified risk factors for PVL rebound among PWID, no study has examined the perspectives of PWID who have experienced PVL rebound episodes. We conducted an ethno-epidemiological study to investigate the circumstances surrounding the emergence of rebound episodes among PWID in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Methods Comprehensive clinical records linked to a community-based prospective observational cohort of HIV-positive drug users were used to identify PWID who had recently experienced viral rebound. In-depth qualitative interviews with 16 male and 11 female participants explored participant perspectives regarding the emergence of viral rebound. A timeline depicting each participant’s HIV viral load and adherence to ART was used to elicit discussion of circumstances surrounding viral rebound. Findings Viral rebound episodes were shaped by interplay between various individual, social, and environmental factors that disrupted routines facilitating adherence. Structural-environmental influences resulting in non-adherence included housing transitions, changes in drug use patterns and intense drug scene involvement, and inadequate care for co-morbid health conditions. Social-environmental influences on ART adherence included poor interactions between care providers and patients producing non-adherence, and understandings of HIV treatment that fostered intentional treatment discontinuation. Conclusions This study describes key pathways which led to rebound episodes among PWID receiving ART and illustrates how environmental forces may increase vulnerability for non-adherence leading to treatment failure. Our findings have potential to help inform interventions and supports that address social-structural forces that foster non-adherence among PWID.

The in-situ measurement of spacecraft internal charging currents.
Creators: name: Ryden, Keith
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Internal charging is a major cause of environmentally-induced malfunctions on satellites: the risk arises wherever light-to-moderately shielded dielectrics, or isolated metallic items, collect charge deposited by penetrating electrons so creating high potential differences between elements of the spacecraft. Observations from the US CRRES satellite in 1991/2 showed that electrostatic discharges are probable if the internal charging current, when averaged over ten hours, exceeds 0.1pAcm-2 and engineering practice today still relies heavily on this simple result. On CRRES internal charging currents had to be estimated from on-board electron flux measurements followed by radiation transport calculations. This thesis describes the first direct in-orbit measurements of internal charging currents: to do this a shielded current sensor (SURF) was invented and deployed into both geostationary transfer and medium Earth orbit. Currents were measured under shielding levels representative of those used to protect dielectrics in many real spacecraft. Being of the order of fAcm-2, measuring such currents presented practical challenges but these were overcome and SURF has now worked successfully for over a decade in medium Earth orbit. Data from the sensor can be used ‘in reverse’ to determine external electron fluxes via unfolding techniques. In this role SURF has some advantages over conventional electron counting instruments: first, when very intense fluxes occur there are no dead time effects so the readings can still be relied upon and second, SURF is largely immune from proton contamination in mixed environments, something which tends to plague traditional detectors. A disadvantage, however, is that the threshold of sensitivity for SURF is higher than for a traditional counting instrument. Overall it is concluded that shielded current sensors are a valuable new aid to quantifying the risk from internal charging and at the same time they are able to provide fresh insights into the external environment.

Partikelfiltre til biler

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2010

description: I de seneste år har der været øget fokus på partikelemissionerne fra dieselmotorerne, idet især partiklerne har negativ indvirkning på den generelle folkesundhed og luftmiljøet i storbyerne. Ved forbrænding af dieselbrændstof bliver der dannet mange forskellige stoffer, der er mere eller mindre skadelige. De vigtigste emissioner fra en dieselmotor er: • Kuldioxid - CO2 • Kulbrinte - HC • Nitrogenoxid - NOx (fællesbetegnelse for NO og NO2) • Kulstofpartikler – C (sodpartikler) • Kulmonooxid – CO • Svovldioxid – SO2 For at mindske udledningen af de skadelige stoffer, kan man enten regulere forbrændingen vha. f.eks. indsprøjtningen, udformningen af forbrændingskammeret, turbotrykket, EGR forholdet eller lave efterbehandling af udstødningsgasserne med f.eks. en katalysator eller et partikelfilter. Betegnelsen partikler dækker over en kompleks blanding af faste komponenter, der varierer i både størrelse, overflade, form, kemisk sammensætning m.m. Partiklerne kan komme fra både naturlige og menneskeskabte kilder. Partikler kan udsendes di-rekte til luften (primære partikler), eller de kan dannes i luften ud fra andre forureninger (sekundære partikler). De primære partikler kan stamme fra menneskeskabte kilder såsom trafik, kulfyrede kraftværker, industrianlæg m.m. De kan også stamme fra naturlige kilder såsom pollen, vindblæst jord m.m. De sekundære partikler består primært af sulfat, nitrat og forskellige organiske forbindelser, der dannes langsomt, når luftmasser transporteres over lange distancer. Luftens indhold af partikler forekommer typisk i tre tydeligt adskilte størrelsesfraktioner: ultrafine partikler, fine partikler og grove partikler. De ultrafine partikler stammer typisk fra dieselmotorer. De er enten dannet ved høje temperaturer i motorerne eller ved kondensation i udstødningsrøret. De fine partikler dannes typisk, når de ultrafine partikler samler sig ved kondensering. De sekundære partikler tilhører også denne gruppe. De grove partikler er typisk mekanisk dannede partikler (vindblæst støv, ophvirvlet vejstøv samt sliddele fra dæk og bremser). Partikler, der stammer fra forbrændingsmotorer, består primært af sod (uforbrændt kulstof), kulbrinter, svovlforbindelser og aske. I dette paper er der en kort gennemgang af de miljømæssige udfordringer, en teknisk beskrivelse af partikelfiltrenes virkemåde samt en beskrivelse af godkendelsesprocedurerne for de åbne og lukkede partikelfiltre til eftermontering på lette og tunge køretøjer.

The development of a performance auditing framework for public sector enterprises in Vietnam: the case of state owned commercial banks
Creators: name: Nguyen, Quan Hong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The thesis adopts a stakeholder approach to justify the rationale that the performance of public sector commercial banks in Vietnam could be evaluated on the basis of the performance auditing criteria established by performance auditors. The employment of quantitative methods using confirmatory factor analysis, in combination with the results from the qualitative study, the study proposes a comprehensive performance measurement framework with 23 individual measures incorporated into four discrete performance dimensions. The findings also indicate the likelihood of the resulting performance measurement framework to be used as auditing criteria by auditors at the State Audit Office of Vietnam.

The impact of repetitive vascular occlusion stimulus on muscle, peripheral vasculature, and systemic inflammation in healthy controls and ICU patients
Creators: name: CHHETRI, ISMITA
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) impairs hospital outcomes and causes a long-term physical disability among ICU survivors. No treatment has yet been identified. Repetitive vascular occlusion stimulus (RVOS) induces brief repeated ischaemia and reperfusion cycles using a cuff and could be a novel intervention to prevent ICU-AW. RVOS limits disuse muscle atrophy and weakness in both healthy controls and bed-bound orthopaedic patients improves vascular function and induces systemic anti-inflammatory effects.
description: This thesis investigated the feasibility and efficacy of RVOS application to ICU patients and examined the underlying mechanisms of its reported protective effects in healthy controls. Methodologies utilised included: ultrasonography to assess the skeletal muscle size and vascular function, strength and physical function tests to assess functionality, immunoassays on plasma and muscle biopsies to assess blood biomarkers and signalling pathway, NIRS to assess microcirculation, and flow cytometry to assess inflammatory markers on circulatory leukocytes.
description: Recruitment of ICU patients was low due to high ineligibility and low consent rates. RVOS application appears safe and acceptable and indicated a positive effect against target organ failure (lower AKI incidence and greater SOFA score reduction) (Chapter 3). No effectiveness against muscle wasting and vascular dysfunction were detected, however, an increase in growth factor IGF-1 and reduction in vascular dysfunction and inflammatory markers syndecan-1, IL-4, and TNF-RII were observed (Chapter 4). In healthy controls, no upregulation in the Akt/mTOR protein synthesis signalling pathway was observed in local muscle tissue, despite inducing significant ischemic and reactive hyperaemic stimulus. No remote effects on vessel and microcirculation of skeletal muscle were observed (Chapter 5). Downregulation of CD11b, Hsp70, NF-κBp65, and p38MAPK levels in activated NK and monocytes and upregulation in p38MAPK were observed in activated neutrophils, suggesting subset specific effect (Chapter 6).
description: RVOS application to ICU patients was not feasible, however, the observed effects on target organs, biomarkers, and leukocyte subsets warrant further investigation.

description: By the use of noise robust compression, separate error correction can be reduced. This paper studies a number of neighbourhood functions for the SOFM for designing image vector quantiser codebooks for noisy channels. They include a neighbourhood recently proposed for the scalar coding of speech and a novel neighbourhood which makes the SOFM functionally equivalent to the popular LBG algorithm. The simulation results of these neighbourhood functions on two images provide insight into the problem of selecting an appropriate topology for the design of vector quantiser codebooks for noisy channels.

Integrating Structure and Causality into Machine Learning
Creators: name: VOWELS, MATTHEW
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: With the rise of modern neural network and deep learning techniques, rapid progress has been achieved on highly complex problems such as computer vision and natural language processing. The principal strengths of these methods lie in their ability to approximate complex functions from high-dimensional data without requiring carefully, hand-designed models of the underlying phenomena. However, if the methods are not constrained in ways that reflect the structural constraints underlying the data generating processes which brought about the observations, these methods will suffer from a number of limitations. These limitations include bias, poor model robustness, a dependence on expensive, annotated datasets, and an inability to reason about cause-effect relationships in the world. We demonstrate that each of these limitations can be addressed by integrating structural and causal constraints, thus highlighting that a hybrid between modern deep learning and a more traditional infusion of domain expertise represents an important approach to designing machine learning systems today. This is particularly true if researchers wish to use machine learning to develop trustworthy, interpretable, and/or causal decision processes

An exploration of the good life narratives of young people
Creators: name: Loukianov, Anastasia
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Young people’s understandings of living well are informed by shared sociocultural stories of the good life which have social and environmental implications and affect the possibility of sustainable and fair futures. As visual culture and social media gain importance in young people’s lives, they increasingly shape young people’s processes of meaning-making in relation to living well. This thesis aims to progress the search for fairer and more sustainable understandings of the good life by identifying which good life narratives young people use and have access to; speculating on their implications for sustainable and fair living; and exploring the role of visual mediums and social and material infrastructures in shaping these narratives and their availability. Research material is approached through a phenomenological hermeneutic framework. Analysis is based on two studies: a) a filmmaking project with four groups of 10-14 year-olds in which participants created short films about living well and; b) an exploration of the understandings of the good life accessible on Instagram through hashtag #goodlife. Each project identifies three narratives: a) the good life as luxury, as normal life, and as caring life in the filmmaking project; and b) the good life of the affluent entrepreneur, of the world-traveller, and as shared experience on Instagram. Two of these narratives (the good life as caring life and as shared experience) are less common but have more potential to support fair and sustainable futures. Findings suggest that infrastructures, which are disproportionately shaped in favour of less sustainable understandings of living well, are key in making resources available for meaning-making. Considering the theoretical possibilities of a shift in dominant narratives by linking ethics and aesthetics, the thesis concludes by making the case for injunctive normativity in research and beyond in our appraisals of good life narratives.

description: Kortlægning af trafikafviklingen på vejnettet har traditionelt været baseret på snittællinger og krydstællinger – udført ved både manuelle og automatiske tællinger. Metodemæssigt har det givet en meget detaljeret viden om trafikken i enkeltpunkter i vejnettet, men ingen præcis viden få meter væk fra målepunktet. Med logdata fra GPS modtagere i biler er situationen omvendt: En detaljeret viden om enkelte bilers adfærd på hele vejnettet, men til gengæld kun data fra en lille stikprøve af bilerne. I denne artikel præsenteres en metode til beregning af køretider, trængsels og forsinkelse på baggrund af GPS data fra biler – de såkaldte floating car data. Metoden er implementeret og afprøves på to signalregulerede kryds i Aalborg. Hovedkonklusionen er, at den afprøvede metode kan give en god indikation for hvor og hvornår, der er trængsel i et kryds.

description: The emergence of the Internet as a key weapon in the arsenal of the educator has opened up more possibilities than originally conceived. It not only provides mechanisms for communications and management of on-campus courses but with the development of integrated multimedia extensions, the Internet can deliver course material in a rich and engaging manner. Educators are always quick to exploit the full possibilities of new technologies and as such we now see the emergence of institutions that can offer courses to students world-wide. The introduction of on-line education is making the late 1990s a significant make-or-break time for many higher education institutions. This paper presents one university's response to the challenges of on-line education through a systematic and strategic development project.
Tuning the absorption and emission properties of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes by ligand design

description: A series of Ru complex ions, [Ru(bpy)2X]+ (bpy = bipyridyl) were synthesized. This was with a view to studying their photophysical properties by experimental and computation methods. In particular the effect of pH, concentration, temperature and the nature of ligand X has been investigated. The X-ligand represents pyridine, pyrazine or pyrimidine derivatives of 1,2 and 1,3 diazolates, 1,2,3 and 1,2,4 triazolates and 1,2,3,4 tetrazoles. Four of the compounds were studied by experimental photophysical and computational methods, namely pyridine and pyrazine derivative of 1,2-diazolate and 1,3-diazolate. The selection of the ligands also demonstrates the effect of the nitrogen content and nitrogen position on the absorption and emission properties of the complexes, as well as on the pH optical response of the [Ru(bpy)2X]+/[Ru(bpy)2XH]2+ in the absorption spectra. The dual state emission behaviour has also been studied in detail to elucidate the unexpected switching of the most prominent low energy emission band. The absorption and emission properties of the deprotonated and protonated complex ions were characterised by UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy, as well as by time-dependent density functional theory. The 1MLCT transition with d-πazo-π*bpy character exhibit a tunability range of ~17 nm from experimental results and estimated to be ~33 nm from calculations. The X ligand shows a relatively small change on the first absorption band. When the six-membered ring of the X ligand has a higher nitrogen content the absorption wavelengths for the (d-πazo)-π*bpy transition shifts to lower wavelengths. A blue shift is also observed when comparing the position of the N atoms at the 1, and 2 or 1 and 3 positions of the azolate on the X ligand. Modification of the nitrogen content and nitrogen position within the protonatable/deprotonatable ligands is an effective approache for modulation of the pH-optosensing properties of Ru-polypyridyl complexes. The dual emission is shown to arise from the presence of two excited states consisting of a triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer state localized on a bipyridine ligand - 3MLCT (bpy), and either a state that is entirely localized on the X ligand or is partially delocalized also spanning part of the bipyridine ligands - 3MLCT(X). The choice of the X ligand modulated the emission of the 3MLCT(bpy) and 3MLCT(X) states between 743 - 865 nm and from 555 - 679 nm, respectively. A blue shift of the 3MLCT(bpy) emission on increasing the nitrogen content of the six-membered ring of the X ligand is observed while by contrast a redshift for the 3MLCT(X) emission. The energy difference between 3MLCT(bpy) and 3MLCT(X) emissions can be tuned from 84–310 nm.

Physico-biochemical properties of extruded Cape Horse mackerel (Trachurus capensis).
Creators: name: Barrion, Stephen C.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Cape horse mackerel (Trachurus capensis) is an underutilized pelagic fish from Namibia. In this study, the physico-chemical characteristics, nutritional composition and functionality (thermal and rheological) properties of horse mackerel and local cereals found in Namibia were investigated. This knowledge of the physico-chemical composition and functionality of these ingredients and their behaviour in mixed food model systems was applied to optimize the extrusion process, used to make snack foods. Proximate, biochemical, amino acid and fatty acid analyses, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheology and Raman spectroscopy studies were conducted on horse mackerel mince, cassava, maize, pearl millet flour, mixtures of these ingredients, an extruded horse mackerel snack and a commercial shrimp cracker. Differences in the protein bands identified by Raman spectroscopy provided detailed information on the protein structure of the raw materials, protein denaturation and gel formation of the extruded snacks. Products of similar textural properties were developed despite the varying composition of mixtures. A mixture comprising 20% horse mackerel, 20% maize flour, 30% pearl millet flour and 30% cassava flour showed the optimum starch and protein interactions as evidenced by thermal and rheological properties; this formulation was used to develop the horse mackerel extruded snack. Extrusion provided an efficient method for combining essential protein and lipids from fish and starchy cereal mixtures into a balanced and nutritious snack food. The horse mackerel extruded snack product had a higher protein quality compared to the commercial shrimp cracker. The raw material quality used in the development of an extruded horse mackerel snack significantly influenced its final quality and total cost. Poor quality fish used in the processing of the extruded horse mackerel snack resulted in an increase in failure costs and consequently the total quality cost. Failure costs decreased from 80% to 40% of Total Quality Costs when good raw material was used.
Digital television and its discontents: competition policy and broadcasting in Australia
Creators: name: Thomas, Julian
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In Australia the problem of sustaining competition in a digital broadcasting environment does not arise, because competition is all but prohibited by existing media law. Instead the issue is whether digital broadcasting can facilitate the appearance of new players and new services. In 1999 media law in Australia was for the first time subjected to a review guided by the principles of the country's competition policy. A powerful, highly concentrated industry with a history of protection and politicking was examined by the Productivity Commission, an independent economic advisory body. The Commission recommended far-reaching changes to almost every aspect of mediapolicy, but was especially critical of the anti-competitive aspects of Australia's rules for digital television. This article describes the Commission's approach to the problems of applying competition policy to broadcasting regulation. It seeks to explain a problem at the heart of the Commission's deliberations: for reasons which may well be specific to Australia, the conversion to digital broadcasting is crucial to achieving greater competition in Australian media. But at the same time, it appears unlikely that a successful switch-over to digital can occur without new services and new players creating demand. A resolute new policy direction is therefore essential.

Year: 2009

description: DTU Transport forestår opbygning af en national godstrafikmodel. Tetraplan har i den forbindelse henover foråret og sommeren 2010 gennemført indsamling af data, herunder data der beskriver lastbil- og varebiltrafik i Danmark og over den danske grænser. De nye data har koncentreret sig om tre forskellige områder, der hver især giver viden om transportmønstre indenfor godstrafikken. Til at belyse trafikken over grænsen er der blevet gennemført en række analyser, både over den grønne grænse og i færgehavne langs Østersøen. Disse analyser har givet information om mængde, type og destination af gods. Til beskrivelse af lastbil- og varebiltrafik i Danmark er der undersøgt forskellige erhvervsområder, havne, bycentre etc. for at forsøge at belyse godsmønstrene fra disse områder, med hovedformål at bestemme destination og turlængde, og sekundært at fastlægge godstypen og mængden. Der er desuden foretaget en række virksomhedsinterview der bidrager med oplysninger om bl.a. transportkæder, transporttider og transportomkostninger, dels på et disaggregeret niveau til brug ved modelestimation, og dels på aggregeret niveau til brug for etablering af godsmatricer. De indsamlede data forventes at medføre en meget stor forbedring i forhold til dagens viden om godstransport i Danmark. De indsamlede data skal eksempelvis anvendes til afdækning og beskrivelse af godstransportstrømme nationalt og international. Artiklen vil for det første indeholde et overblik over godstrafikmodellen, og hvorledes data skal bruges til udvikling af modellen. For det andet gennemgås den praktiske dataindsamling og de indhøstede erfaringer. Endelig forventes at kunne præsentere enkelte resultater fra dataindsamlingen.
