2. 1. Reducing uncertainties in climate change impact studies through uni- and multivariate methods : A Nordic perspective

   Author : Faranak Tootoonchi; Claudia Teutschbein; Jan O. Haerter; Olle Räty; Thomas Grabs; Alex J. Cannon; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; precipitation and temperature; bias adjustment; bias correction; univariate and multivariate methods; hydrologic signatures; drought; Sweden; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

   Abstract : Climate change poses undeniable impacts on hydroclimatic processes due to simultaneous effects of rising temperature and changing precipitation patterns. To quantify these impacts, simulations of climate variables are typically retrieved from climate models, which are then downscaled and bias-adjusted for a particular study site. READ MORE

4. 2. Religion in Nordic Politics as a Means to Societal Cohesion : An Empirical Study on Party Platforms and Parliamentary Debates 1988–2012

   Author : Jonas Lindberg; Mia Lövheim; Magnus Hagevi; Pål Repstad; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Religion; politics; Nordic; Scandinavia; church; diversity; secularisation; globalisation; politicisation; cleavage; civil religion; human rights; nationalism; right-wing populist; privatised religion; content analysis; mixed methods; Sociology of Religion; Religionssociologi;

   Abstract : In this study, I address the relationship between religion and politics in the Nordic countries, 1988–2012, against a background of increasing religious diversity alongside more or less continuous relationships between church and state. My aim is to analyse possible changes in the way religion is referred to by Nordic parliamentary parties, and in the way these parties use religion as a means to societal cohesion. READ MORE

5. 3. Common Energy and Climate Strategies for the Nordic Countries - A Model Analysis

   Author : Thomas Unger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MARKAL; tradable green certificates; electricity trade; Nordic countries; climate policy; energy systems modeling;

   Abstract : Increased competition and market integration into a wider geographical context are currently on the energy- and climate-policy agenda in Northern Europe. It is likely that several energy-and environment-related markets will coexist within a near future, for example markets for electricity and emission permits for CO2. READ MORE

6. 4. Investigation into sustainable energy systems in Nordic municipalities

   Author : Robert Fischer; Andrea Toffolo; Erik Elfgren; Danica Djuric Ilic; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Renewable energy sources; Nordic municipalities; municipal energy system; electrified transport; biofuels; multi-objective optimization; EnergyPLAN; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract : Municipal energy systems in Nordic environments face multiple challenges: the cold climate, large-scale industries, a high share of electric heating and long distances drive energy consumption. While actions on the demand side minimize energy use, decarbonization efforts in mining, industries, the heating and the transport sector can increase the consumption of electricity and biofuels.

7. 5. A new non-linear GARCH model

   Author : Gustaf E. Hagerud; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This dissertation contains four papers in the field of financial econometrics. In the first paper, A Smooth Transition ARCH Model for Asset Returns, a new class of ARCH models is introduced. The model class allows for non-linearity in the equation for the conditional variance.
