This study evaluates the potential of supervised and transfer learning techniques to assist energy system optimization. A surrogate model is developed with the support of a supervised learning technique (by using artificial neural network) in order to bypass computationally intensive Actual Engineering Model (AEM). Eight different neural network architectures are considered in the process of devel
This study examines the interdependence between research and development (R&D) resources, coopetitive performance, and extent of cooperation in development-related standardization settings that involve network effects. Coopetitive performance is measured as the firm’s influence on the change process of standards. Cooperation is measured as the number of firm technology partners in influencing
BACKGROUND: Smartphones have made it possible for patients to digitally report symptoms before physical primary care visits. Using machine learning (ML), these data offer an opportunity to support decisions about the appropriate level of care (triage).OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the interrater reliability between human physicians and an automated ML-based triage method.METH
Macroalgae cultivation shows potential for the application as emerging feedstock for microbial fermentation to produce biochemicals. However, metal residues in macroalgae might affect the fermentation capacity of relevant microorganisms. This aspect is currently not considered when selecting macroalgae and microorganism species for microbial fermentation. To consider this aspect for selecting viab
This study examines the interdependence between R&D resources, coopetitive performance and extent of cooperation in development-related standardization settings that involve network effects. Coopetitive performance is measured as the firm’s influence on the change process of standards. Cooperation is measured as the number of firm technology partners in influencing industry technology standard
There are multiple dimensions pertaining to the sustainability of the public pension systems. The old PAYG DB schemes were typically more focused on income adequacy than financial sustainability. The current public pension systems of Austria, Germany, Finland and Sweden are the result of recent reforms undertaken in response to a universal phenomenon. The aging of the population promised to put a
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka täckningsprincipen i svensk rätt, med ett särskilt fokus på dess tillämpning när ansvar för medhjälp aktualiseras. Målet har varit att försöka utreda dels vilka krav gällande rätt uppställer vid uppsåtstäckningen vid medhjälp och dels bidra med ett normativt perspektiv genom att granska gällande rätt ur ett konformitets- och skuldperspektiv. D
Abstract Authors: Ingrid Leandersson, Malin Jönsson Title: The situation of children at women’s shelters – A qualitative study of the work with children in women’s shelters based on the staff’s perspective Supervisor: Malinda Andersson Assessor: Mikael Sandgren The purpose of our essay was to highlight the situation among children in women's shelters in Sweden in addition to inquire into t
Agencies obligation to report according to the Swedish Social Service Law (2001:453) 14 chapter 1 § is an important obligation to uphold children’s rights. When children are maltreated due to the conditions at home, agencies have a responsibility to help. Constantly we hear from the media about children who live with anomaly. Therefore it is highly current to examine the obligation to report. Chil
The purpose of this study was to analyze and interpret how parents react after learning that their child was deceased, and the process that parents employed in dealing with this bereavement. This study also focused on the parents’ perceived ‘treatment’ received from relatives, friends and professionals. A qualitative study was conducted using interviews with seven parents who had suffered bereavem
Spending time outdoors during childhood can improve learning, promote pro- environmental behavior, and improve physical and mental health. However, most of our everyday lives are spent indoors and thus a disassociation from nature is created. Paradoxically, a positive relationship between humans and nature is vital for its preservation, and our survival. Through outdoor education in elementary sch
Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.
In the wake of the so-called Refugee Crisis in 2015, Danish Government reformed the policy framework for immigrant integration. To support and promote the new changes, the Danish Government offered project funding to set up volunteer-based mentoring programmes aimed at improving newcomers’ chances of accessing the labour market. Through qualitative interviews this thesis explores how needs of the
The project started with the question “why wouldn’t a disabled or old person want it to look nice at home?” Many assistive products on the market are designed in a way that doesn’t fit the interior trends, which is an issue for several reasons. By the aesthetics assistive products possess, the users get labeled as people who are sick and abnormal. The brief was then created and the goal was to des
The prevalence of ageing population and growing old-age consumption per capita has raised concern about the fiscal burden of state and family. As individuals age, they have increasing need for assistance in activities of daily living (ADL). Therefore, long-term care makes up the most in the consumption of elderly. State and family are responsible to meet this demand and the care distribution depen
This thesis explores how the handling, analysis and transformations of material and data affect the production of knowledge in an applied project of cultural analysis. It concerns itself mainly with the process of dislocation, transformation and transportation of meaning, by putting to work the actor-network theories of Bruno Latour. An attempt will be made to retrace the steps of creating materia
At the core of the sustainable solid waste management challenge lies increasing rates of consumption which contribute directly to problems of resource extraction and degradation. Recycling is a tool designed in part to address this problem of scarcity, however on its own it is not enough to solve the problem, particularly in relation to plastics, which are challenging to manage and often are not r
Beviskrav är en bevisteoretisk term för att beskriva vilken styrka bevisningen måste ha för att ett rättsfaktum ska kunna läggas till grund för domen i ett mål. Beviskravet riktas mot den part som bär bevisbördan i målet. Syftet med framställningen är att utforska vilka intressen som ligger bakom beviskraven i ett urval av förvaltningsmål. Uppsatsen ämnar besvara vilka faktorer som avgör höjden pEvidentiary requirement is a term to describe which height of quality of evidence is needed for a dispositive fact to be put as a basis for a verdict. The evidentiary requirement is directed towards the party which bares the burden of proof in the case. The purpose of the presentation is to explore which interests that lay behind the evidentiary requirement in a selection of administrative law ca
Den straffrättsliga legalitetsprincipen ställer upp krav på att det måste finnas stöd i lag för att en gärning ska kunna utgöra brott och straff kunna utdömas. När HD för första gången skulle tillämpa straffskalan för mord sedan den ändrats i juli 2014 var principen central. HD valde att bortse från lagändringen från 2014 med hänvisning till att dess syfte inte gick att förena med lagtexten och at
