  1. 16. Unconditional cash transfers to single mothers effective for child education? – Using a historical policy experiment

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Linnea Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Unconditional cash transfers; needs-based cash grants; welfare targeting; human capital development accumulation; skill formation technology; regression kink design;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I examine whether unconditional cash transfers to poor femaleheaded households have an effect on children’s educational attainment. Using a historical Swedish child allowance policy that targeted unconditional cash transfers to widow mothers with an income below a poverty threshold, I lay out a credible identification strategy, to test the hypothesis with a regression kink design.

  3. 17. Data-Driven Reachability Analysis of Pedestrians Using Behavior Modes : Reducing the Conservativeness in Data-Driven Pedestrian Predictions by Incorporating Their Behavior

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : August Söderlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Data-driven reachability analysis; Autonomous vehicles; Automated safety; Autonomous situational awareness; Datadriven nåbarhetsanalys; Autonoma fordon; Automatiserad säkerhet; Autonom situationsmedvetenhet;

    Abstract : Predicting the future state occupancies of pedestrians in urban scenarios is a challenging task, especially considering that conventional methods need an explicit model of the system, hence introducing data-driven reachability analysis. Data-driven reachability analysis uses data, inherently produced by an unknown system, to perform future state predictions using sets, generally represented by zonotopes. READ MORE

  6. 20. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
    Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.
