2. 1. Incentives and Forest Reform: Evidence from China

   Author : Yuanyuan Yi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Forest devolution; Household management; Forest investment; Deforestation; Allocative efficiency; Household welfare; Forestland rental markets; Collective forest tenure reform; Managerial incentives; Environmental protection; State-owned forests; State-owned enterprises; Chinese-style federalism; Two-principal; one-agent model; China;

   Abstract : Chapter I: Forest Devolution Reform in China: A Trigger for Investment or Deforestation? I investigate whether and how the devolution of forestland to households in China triggered investment in forestland, and its effect on forest resource conditions. The investment analysis is based on a panel dataset of a two-round survey of 3,000 households in eight provinces before and after the implementation of the forest devolution reform, while the analysis of resource conditions is based on satellite imagery on forest cover and vegetation during 2001-2012.

4. 2. Long-range decision models in mining

   Author : Nils-Erik Norén; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Decision models for optimizing decisions in mining. Two principal models are presented:1) For optimizing the rate of production in a mine2) For optimizing the cut-off grade. The models are based on dynamic programming and simulate the economic consequences of alternative decisions. Computer programs containing the models are presented. READ MORE

5. 3. Oral health-related quality of life and young adults

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ODONTOLOGY; ODONTOLOGI;

   Abstract : The aims were to describe and analyse measures for oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) from a Public Health perspective and to determine young adults' views on dental care. The methods used included one literature review (Paper I) and one empirical study with qualitative design (Paper II). READ MORE

6. 4. Estimation of state and identification of complex modulus based on measurements om a bar traversed by waves

   Author : Lars Hillström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Wave; extensional; flexural; bar; rod; beam; elastic; viscoelastic; complex modulus; non-parametric; parametric; standard deviation; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Solid Mechanics; hållfasthetslära;

   Abstract : Estimation of state and identification of complex modulus based on measurements on non-uniform rods and beams have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Two principal cases were studied. In the first case, the material properties are fully known and the state at a section is to be estimated. READ MORE

7. 5. Aspects on the lacrimal drainage function

   Author : Sven Sahlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this project was to increase the knowledge on the function of the lacrimal passages. For this purpose, a quantitative test for the lacrimal drainage function is established: the drop test. Two principal parameters are introduced: the lacrimal drainage capacity and the blink output.
