2. 21. Statistical modeling in international large-scale assessments

   Author : Inga Laukaityte; Marie Wiberg; Kenny Bränberg; Ewa Rolfsman; Bernard Veldkamp; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multilevel model; plausible values; sampling weights; missing information; multiple imputation; non-monotone missing pattern; TIMSS; PISA; Statistics; statistik; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : This thesis contributes to the area of research based on large-scale educational assessments, focusing on the application of multilevel models. The role of sampling weights, plausible values (response variable imputed multiple times) and imputation methods are demonstrated by simulations and applications to TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data.

4. 22. Sustainability performance of multi-utility tunnels : Sustainability assessments for furthering knowledge and understanding

   Author : Filip Bergman; Joakim Johansson; Niclas Svensson; Stefan Anderberg; Sofia Lingegård; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-utility tunnel; Cable and pipe networks; Subsurface infrastructure; Sustainability assessment; Urban underground;

   Abstract : The multi-utility tunnel has received increased attention as an alternative method for the installation of subsurface infrastructure for the distribution of electricity, water, sewage and district heating. In previous research, the multi-utility tunnel (MUT) has been described as a more sustainable technology compared to the conventionally used technique where the cables and pipes are placed with open-cut excavation (OCE), especially when the entire life cycle is taken into account.

7. 25. Distal radioulnar joint: arthroplasty and strength assessments

   Author : Peter Axelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Distal Radioulnar joint arthroplasty; Forearm torque and lifting strength measurements; Normative data; Reliability; Validity; Responsiveness;

   Abstract : The growing interest in distal radioulnar (DRUJ) disorders underlines the need for further improved evaluations of treatment outcome. Load-bearing and optimising torque are important features of the DRUJ, but they are rarely measured when assessing DRUJ interventions. READ MORE
