  2. 1. Numerical optimization of pacing strategies in locomotive endurance sports

    Author : David Sundström; Mats Tinnsten; Peter Carlsson; Mikael Bäckström; Erik Bruun Simonsen; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pacing strategy; optimization; numerical simulation; equations of motion; method of moving asymptotes; cross-country skiing; cycling; Farthållningsstrategi; optimering; numerisk simulering; rörelseekvationer; method of moving asymptotes; längdskidåkning; cykling;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the optimization of pacing strategies in two locomotive endurance sports; cross-country skiing and road cycling. It has been established that constant pace and variable power distributions are optimal if purely mechanical aspects of locomotion are considered in these sports. READ MORE

  4. 2. On specification and inference in the econometrics of public procurement

    Author : David Sundström; Kurt Brännäs; Sofia Lundberg; Michael Visser; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; auctions; dependent variable transformation model; green public procurement; indirect inference; instrumental variable; latent variable; log-generalized gamma distribution; maximum likelihood; measurement error; non-linear least squares; objective effectiveness; orthogonal polynomial regression; prediction; simulation estimation; structural estimation; nationalekonomi; Economics; ekonometri; Econometrics;

    Abstract : In Paper [I] we use data on Swedish public procurement auctions for internal regularcleaning service contracts to provide novel empirical evidence regarding green publicprocurement (GPP) and its effect on the potential suppliers’ decision to submit a bid andtheir probability of being qualified for supplier selection. We find only a weak effect onsupplier behavior which suggests that GPP does not live up to its political expectations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Optimized Pacing Strategies in Cross-Country Skiing and Time-Trial Road Cycling

    Author : David Sundström; Mats Tinnsten; Peter Carlsson; John Rasmussen; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimization; numerical simulation; equations of motion; MMA; cross-country skiing; cycling; Optimering; numerisk simulering; rörelseekvationer; MMA; längdskidåkning; cykling;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the analysis and optimization of pacing strategies in cross-country skiing and time-trial road cycling. In locomotive sports, it is well known that variable pacing strategies using changes in the distribution of power output are beneficial when external forces vary along the way. READ MORE

  6. 4. Psoriasis in Sweden : observational studies from an epidemiological perspective

    Author : David Hägg; Marcus Schmitt-Egenolf; Anders Sundström; Marie Eriksson; Bernt Lindelöf; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Psoriasis; Systemic treatments; Biologic treatments; PASI; DLQI; Register-based research; Dermatology and Venerology; dermatologi och venereologi;

    Abstract : Background: Psoriasis is a heterogeneous disease with several clinical manifestations; the symptoms are characterized by redness, scaliness and thickness of the skin. There are several treatment options available for psoriasis and patients with moderate to severe psoriasis generally need systemic agents. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mutation and Diversity in Avian Sex Chromosomes

    Author : Hannah Sundström; Hans Ellegren; David W. Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; mutation rate; diversity; sex chromosomes; indels; male bias; selective sweep; effective population size; birds; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : Sex chromosomes are useful for the study of how factors such as mutation, selection, recombination and effective population size affect diversity and divergence.A comparison of gametologous introns in seven different bird species revealed a complete lack of diversity on the female-specific W chromosome.
