2. 1. Detecting, Modelling and Measuring Disturbances in Fixed-bed Combustion

   Author : Sven Hermansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD modelling; solid fuels; grate furnaces; moisture content; fixed bed; combustion;

   Abstract : Combustion of fixed fuel beds in grate furnaces is one of the most common techniques within production of heat and power from solid fuels. The grate furnace used to be a working horse for combustion of hard coal, while today the incitement of using renewable fuel sources has turned biomass and municipal waste into dominating fuel types.

4. 2. Labour Market Effects of Working Time Reductions and Demographic Changes

   Author : Oskar Nordström Skans; Magnus Wikström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi; nationalekonomi; Economics;

   Abstract : Essay I studies the impact on actual hours worked of a 5 % working time reduction for one class of shift workers in Sweden using individual level panel data from firms’ payroll records during the sec-ond quarter each year. The main result is that actual hours only decreased by approximately 35 % of the reduction in standard hours. READ MORE

5. 3. On prevention and rehabilitation of work related musculoskeletal disorders from upper extremitis

   Author : Gunder Parenmark; Östergötlands Läns Landsting; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Neck pain and shoulder impairment are the most common causes of disability pension among workers in Sweden. Women are affected to a greater extent than men. Such complaints are also costly in terms of national economy by affecting health care and social insurance. The situation is much the same in all industrialized countries. READ MORE

6. 4. Run-Up Transient Analysis for Salient Pole Wound Field Synchronous Motors : Field winding and power electronics implications for a smoother and cooler asynchronous start

   Author : Roberto Felicetti; Urban Lundin; Andreas Binder; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : apparent resistance; cable modeling; current control; transmission line model; eddy currents; field winding; frequency analysis response; Fourier Transform; impedance mismatch; main inductance; overvoltage; parasitic capacitance; partial discharge; quality factor; ringing; slew rate; stray inductance; voltage gradient; winding resonance frequency; asynchronous start; run-up; torque ripple; reluctance torque; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

   Abstract : Salient Pole Wound Field Synchronous Machines have better efficiency at full load than asynchronous machines of the same capability. Moreover, where asynchronous machines need inherently to draw a magnetizing current from the grid, Salient Pole Wound Field Synchronous Machines can work efficiently at unity power factor. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies on Household Labor Supply and Home Production

   Author : Elina Pylkkänen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Hourly wage rate; Random effects; Labor supply; Discrete choice; Policy simulation; Single mothers; Welfare participation; Fixed costs of working; Home production; Household productivity; Time use; Parental leave; Childcare; Family policies; Career interruptions;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four self-contained empirical studies on different topics in labor economics based on the Swedish data. Short summaries on each paper are given below: Paper [1]: The aim is to construct models for predicting hourly wage rates and household labor supply for a dynamic microsimulation model, Sesim.
