16. A Further Step of Causal Discovery towards Real-World Impacts
Sammanfattning : The goal of many sciences is to find causal relationships and understand underlying mechanisms. As the golden standard for finding causal relationships, doing randomized experiments can be difficult or impossible in some applications; hence, determining underlying causal relationships purely from observational data, i.e. LÄS MER
17. Stereoselective Nucleophilic Additions to Aldehydes and Synthesis of α-Amino-β- Hydroxy-Esters
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the development of new reaction methodology as well as stereochemical investigations. The first part concerns the investigation of 1,2- and merged 1,2- and 1,3- asymmetric induction in Mukaiyama aldol additions to α-heteroatom and α,β- heteroatom substituted aldehydes respectively.

18. The Cambrian lophotrochozoans of the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Sammanfattning : The origin of many lophotrochozoan groups can be traced to “small shelly fossil” (SSF) faunas of the Early Cambrian. Antarctica is a key region of study, due to the continent’s known close geographical proximity to well-studied Australian and Indian basins in in the Cambrian. LÄS MER
19. Electronic structure and spectroscopy calculations in fuel cell catalysis
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents joint experimental and theoretical studies of surface phenomena at an electronic structure level in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM-FC's). The fuel cell activity can be related to the oxygen reduction taking place at the cathodic surface through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). LÄS MER
20. Automation and the Consequences of Occupational Decline
Sammanfattning : Essay I. Automation affects workers because it affects the return to their skills when performing different tasks. I propose a general equilibrium model of occupational choice and technological change which takes two important labor market features into account: (i) automation happens to tasks and (ii) workers have bundled skills.
