  4. 2. Troubled childhoods cast long shadows : Studies of childhood adversity and premature mortality in a Swedish post-war birth cohort

    Author : Josephine Jackisch; Ylva B. Almquist; Alyson van Raalte; Olle Lundberg; Naja Hulvej Rod; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mortality; Health Equity; Adverse Childhood Experiences; Child Welfare; Adult Survivors of Child Adverse Events; Life Course Perspective; Birth cohort; Longitudinal Studies; Public Health Sciences; folkhälsovetenskap;

    Abstract : Taking a life course approach can help us to understand health inequalities. This thesis illustrates that socially-patterned childhood experiences might play a critical role for inequalities in mortality. The association between childhood adversity and premature mortality is investigated in the context of a 1953 Stockholm birth cohort. READ MORE

    Abstract : The research reported here is an investigation of instruction and assessment in architectural education. The focus is on the practice of critique, an educational activity in which instructors and professional architects give students feedback on their finished projects. READ MORE

  6. 4. Roll pass design for improved flexibility and quality in wire rod rolling

    Author : Conny Eriksson; Ulf Ståhlberg; Magnus Jarl; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; wire rod; roll pass design; working range; productivity; swedish wire rod mills; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The thesis treats roll pass design in wire rod rolling of stainless steel for sequences and series built up by two-symmetrical grooves. It is focused on predicting rolling flexibility, also called working range, as well as product quality. For analysing the flexibility a computer program has been developed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Control Rod Homogenization in Heterogeneous Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors

    Author : Mikael Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Homogenization; Monte Carlo; Fast Reactors; Reactivity Equivalence; Control rod;

    Abstract : The sodium-cooled fast reactor is one of the candidates for a sustainable nuclearreactor system. In particular, the French ASTRID project employs an axiallyheterogeneous design, proposed in the so-called CFV (low sodium effect) core, toenhance the inherent safety features of the reactor.
