The success of Reinforcement Learning (RL) has mostly been in artificial domains, with only some successful real-world applications. One of the reasons being that most real-world domains fail to satisfy a set of assumptions of RL theory. In the past years, a popular way to gauge the performance of RL agents has been through a suite of Atari 2600 games. This suite has been used to benchmark the pr
Swedish exophoric demonstratives have often been seen as words that encode distance-based concepts. Based on the studies of demonstrative systems of several other languages the view of demonstratives as distance-oriented has recently been put into question. Thus, this study aims to investigate the spatiality involved in the semantics of demonstratives. Specifically, the study explores Swedish two-
Language contact poses many questions in regards to language change, one of which is the question of whether some features are more easily transferable between languages than others. Previous research has mainly focused on either areal features in so-called Sprachbunds in large quantitative studies, or single language situations. The present study attempts to bridge the gap between these two diffe
Vision is often considered to top the hierarchy of the senses, reflected for example in the high relative frequency of vision verbs, in comparison to other perception verbs. Results from some previous studies, however, have shown that there is greater cross-linguistic variation concerning perception language than previously thought, emphasising other sense modalities than vision. This thesis condu
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been applied for several years in the removal process pollutants from secondary treatment plants and stormwater. In this paper, the Variable Residence Time (VART) model for solute transport in streams was extended to simulate the BOD removal process in free water surface flow constructed wetlands (FWS CWs). The double layer concept of the basic VART model was extend
Syftet med studien var att kvalitativt undersöka krav och resurser för olika typer av personal som arbetar för internationella biståndsorganisationer. Fokus låg på dynamiken mellan rollerna och de respektive krav, samt resurser till vilka de var kopplade. Detta gjordes med avsikten att identifiera hur samarbete kunde förbättras och därmed ge anställda högre välmående. Lägre grad av stress hos persThis study aimed to qualitatively examine the demands and resources of different kinds of personnel working within humanitarian aid organizations. The purpose was to examine the dynamics between the professional roles and the demands/resources to which they were connected. This was done to see if it was possible to identify what could improve cooperation. If that could be done it might make for a
Previous studies of the Chinese imperative have treated syntax and prosody separately, have not considered gestures, and have looked at sentences in isolation and not in discourse. This study therefore investigated how the relationship between grammatical components, intonation (perceived stress), and gesture are co-organized and interact in the 把 bǎ ‘Ba’ construction (i.e., BA) of Chinese imperat
Kupongskattelagen är en 50 år gammal lag i behov av modernisering på grund av den ökade globaliseringen i världen. Denna uppsats syftar till att granska förslaget till ny lag om källskatt på utdelning. Detta görs bland annat med hjälp av en jämförelse mellan gällande rätt, norsk och dansk rätt, samt EU-rätt. Förslaget innehåller förändringar som innebär att ansvaret för innehållande av källskatt Kupongskattelagen is a 50 years old law in need of modernization due to the increasing globalization in the world. This paper aims to examine the proposal for a new law for withholding tax on dividends. As part of this a minor comparison between current law, Norwegian and Danish law, and EU law will be conducted. The proposal entails changes that place more of the responsibility for withholding
Saltwater intrusion is the most challenging problem in coastal regions. To prevent saltwater intrusion, saltwater pumping from a barrier well is widely applied, which is a direct abstraction of intruded saltwater from a coastal aquifer. Owing to its easy installation, many studies have been carried out. However, quantitative relationships between barrier and inland production well have not been re

Prosodic cues such as stress and tones can help listeners predict upcoming structures and get a first crack at rapidly unfolding speech. The prosodic feature stød in Danish can distinguish word meanings but also signal imminent structures. For instance, monosyllabic nouns with stød lose stød when followed by the plural indefinite suffix -e. Suffixes invalidly cued by stød or non-stød have been fou
Background The Paris Agreement has forced the European Parliament to set a target of 35% renewable energies by 2030. In Sweden, the adaptation of the electricity supply chain to renewable energy production has created new opportunities for the electricity supply chain member. New business models between prosumers and electricity suppliers are currently being developed while the whole management of

Malmö is an expanding, globalised and multicultural city with the aim to be sustainable and green. Throughout this aim, there is the actuality of negotiating space: space for housing, space for activity and green space for nature. Many different preferences of when, how and why to use public space meet and friction is inevitable. Within this debate of urbanization and nature following the western
År 2018 meddelade EU-domstolen förhandsavgörandet C-284/16 Achmea som kom att göra investeringstvister mellan en investerare från en EU-medlemsstat mot en annan EU-medlemsstat osäker. I domslutet konstate-rade EU-domstolen att artiklarna 267 och 344 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt utgjorde hinder mot en sådan skiljeklausul som fanns i ett bilateralt investeringsavtal mellan SlovakieIn 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rendered its preliminary ruling C-284/16 Achmea, making the future of investment treaty arbitration between an investor from one EU member state and another EU member state uncertain. In the judgement’s operative part, the CJEU con-cluded that articles 267 and 344 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union precludes arbitration clause
There are many and varied benefits associated with experiences in natural environments. This thesis examines the practices and perspectives of people who professionally facilitate and thus enable such experiences. The practices, perspectives, experiences, natural environments and their associated benefits are conceptualised as cultural ecosystem services through a framework, which is theoretically
Idag dimensioneras servisledningar i Malmö/Burlövs fjärrvärmenät baserat på en efterfrågad värmeeffekt från fastighetsägare eller byggföretag som E.ON (fjärrvärmeleverantören) i sin tur möter upp med en passande rördimension. Det finns tecken på att fastigheter inte når upp till den efterfrågade värmeeffekten och att servisledningarna därav är överdimensionerade. Med anledning av detta ämnar detta
