1. Benefit Design, Retirement Decisions and Welfare Within and Across Generations in Defined Contribution Pension Schemes
Sammanfattning : Essay 1 (with Juha Alho and Edward Palmer): All around the world, public pension schemes are moving in the direction of non-financial (NDC) and financial defined contribution (DC) schemes. Both rely on accurate projections of life expectancy in the creation of annuities. LÄS MER
2. Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime : Meeting Urgency with Voluntarism
Sammanfattning : The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. LÄS MER
3. Environmental etiologies of autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions : twin studies of the cumulative effect of early medical events
Sammanfattning : Background: Neurodevelopmental conditions (NDC), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are characterized by alterations in the architecture, functioning, and maturation of the brain causing cognitive challenges and impairments in social, educational, occupational, and other important areas of life. NDC are common, with a prevalence of 10 to 15%. LÄS MER
4. Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in plant mitochondria - localisation, catalytic functions and physiological roles
Sammanfattning : In addition to complex I, the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain possesses several alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, not present in animals. These enzymes allow nonenergy-conserving electron transfer from cytoplasmic and matrix NAD(P)H to ubiquinone. LÄS MER
5. Electron Tunneling and Field-Effect Devices in mm-Wave Circuits
Sammanfattning : Short high-frequency electromagnetic pulses, also referred to as wavelets, are considered for use in various short-range impulse based ultra-wideband applications, such as communication, imaging, radar, spectroscopy, and localization. This thesis investigates field-effect and tunneling based semiconductor devices and their operation in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) impulse transceivers. LÄS MER
