  1. 11. Encouraging Mothers : The effect of German regional childcare policies on maternal employment between 2006 and 2018

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Sociologiska institutionen

    Author : Henrik-Alexander Schubert; [2020]
    Keywords : Family policies; maternal employment; German childcare reform; piecewise-constant exponential model; life-course studies;

    Abstract : Childbearing is often associated with employment interruptions in women’s careers. Since 2005, the German federal government has implemented childcare reforms aiming at expanding the suitable infrastructure for children under the age of three, which should facilitate and accelerate the return to employment.

  3. 12. Summation By Parts Finite Difference Methods with Simultaneous Approximation Terms for the Heat Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för matematik (MA)

    Author : Niklas Kåhlman; [2019]
    Keywords : Finite Difference Method; FDM; Summation By Parts; Simultaneous Approximation Terms; SBP-SAT; Heat Equation; Poisson s Equation; Discontinuous Coefficients; Piecewise Constant Coefficients; Convergence; Dual Consistency; Stability;

    Abstract : In this thesis we will investigate how the SBP-SAT finite difference method behave with and without an interface. As model problem, we consider the heat equation with piecewise constant coefficients. The thesis is split in two main parts. READ MORE

    Abstract : Data mining is the art of extracting information from data and creating useful knowledge. Itemset mining, or pattern mining, is an important subfield that consists in finding relevant patterns in datasets. READ MORE

  5. 14. Childbearing among Polish migrant women in Sweden : A country-of-origin and country-of-destination approach

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Sociologiska institutionen

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2019]
    Keywords : Immigrant fertility; Poland; Sweden; adaptation; socialization; selection Piecewise-exponential model; Event-history analysis;

    Abstract : This paper examines childbearing among Polish migrant women and their descendants in Sweden. While many studies have focused on immigrants' childbearing in relation to women in the destination country, this study uses a country-of-origin and a country-of-destination approach in order to more thoroughly examine the socialization, selection and adaptation hypotheses.

  6. 15. Propagation of Radio Waves in a Realistic Environment using a Parabolic Equation Approach

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

    Author : Jonas Ehn; [2019]
    Keywords : Electromagnetic fields; wave propagation; radar; parabolic equation; split-step Fourier method;

    Abstract : Radars are used for range estimation of distant objects. They operate on the principle of sending electromagnetic pulses that are reflected off a target. This leads to the propagation of electromagnetic waves over large distances. As the waves propagate, they are affected by several aspects that decrease the performance of the radar system. READ MORE
