  1. 6. The (in)effectiveness of financial incentive on fertility behaviour : Childcare –a safety net for children?

    Författare :Aino-Maija Aalto; Helena Svaleryd; Anders Forslund; Kristiina Huttunen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Childcare; Health of children; Unemployment; Quasi-experiment; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Is childcare a safety net for vulnerable children? This paper investigates the role of childcare for the health outcomes of children whose parents are unemployed. Exploiting time variation in childcare access resulting from a reform requiring Swedish municipalities to provide childcare also for children with unemployed parents, we estimate causal effects on health, as measured by register data on hospitalizations.

  3. 7. Studies of a Vertical Axis Turbine for Marine Current Energy Conversion : Electrical system and turbine performance

    Författare :Johan Forslund; Karin Thomas; Cameron Johnstone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : Ocean energy is a field of growing interest when it comes to renewable energy thanks to its high density of energy per unit area, and to the high predictability. Conversion of hydrokinetic energy, found in marine currents, is the utilization of the energy in free-flowing water for conversion to electric energy. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Meal patterns and obesity - does snacking play a role?

    Författare :Helene Berteus Forslund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; meal patterns; meal frequency; snacking; snacks; temporal distribution; obesity; weight loss; obesity treatment; adherence; life style changes;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To describe meal patterns, especially snacking, in obese subjects compared to a reference population and to evaluate the importance of meal frequency in obesity treatment. Methods: Two cross sectional studies; 1. Women from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) registry study (n=83) and SOS reference study (n=94); 2. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Experimental Results of a Load-Controlled Vertical Axis Marine Current Energy Converter

    Författare :Johan Forslund; Mats Leijon; Karin Thomas; Jan Sundberg; Tom Blackmore; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Marine Current; Vertical Axis; Load Control; ; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the load control of a marine current energy converter using a vertical axis turbine mounted on a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The purpose of this thesis is to show the work done in the so far relatively uncharted territory of control systems for hydro kinetic energy conversion. LÄS MER

  7. 10. 1D to 3D Magnetism in Quantum Materials: A study by Muons, Neutrons & X-rays

    Författare :Ola Kenji Forslund; Martin Månsson; Robert Kiefl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; muon; magnetism; scattering; quantum materials; Material and Nano Physics; Material- och nanofysik;

    Sammanfattning : A collection of works stretching from low- to three-dimensional magnetism are presented, studied mostly through muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (µ +SR). The theoretical background of this technique is outlined in Chapter 2, which introduces the subject from the muon particle as an astro[1]nomical particle to how they are produced here on Earth.
