1. The Persistence of Unemployment: Does Competition between Employed and Unemployed Job Applicants Matter?
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four self-contained essaysEssay 1 (with Nils Gottfries) investigates why unemployment is so persistent in Europe. We formulate an efficiency wage model with on-the-job search where wages depend on turnover and employers may use information on whether the searching worker is employed or unemployed as a hiring criterion.

2. Electronic Structure and Atomistic Spin Dynamics of Nanostructured Materials
Sammanfattning : The theoretical studies of several magnetic materials are presented in this thesis. To each of them, it was investigated the electronic structure, by means of density functional theory calculations, and/or magnetization dynamics, in the context of atomistic spin dynamics (ASD).

3. Exploring magnetocaloric materials by ab-initio methods
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the characterization of magnetocaloric materials from first-principles calculations, emphasizing entropy variation associated with the magnetocaloric effect. The study happens in the context of the search for new magnetocaloric materials to be applied in domestic magnetic refrigerators, as environmentally friendly and energy-efficient alternatives to conventional vapor-compression devices.

4. An Informed System Development Approach to Tropical Cyclone Track and Intensity Forecasting
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Tropical Cyclones (TCs) inflict considerable damage to life and property every year. A major problem is that residents often hesitate to follow evacuation orders when the early warning messages are perceived as inaccurate or uninformative. LÄS MER
5. Embedded real-time software using TinyTimber : reactive objects in C
Sammanfattning : Embedded systems are often operating under hard real-time constraints. Such systems are naturally described as time-bound reactions to external events, a point of view made manifest in the high-level programming and systems modeling language Timber. LÄS MER
