Building operations account for a large amount of energy usage and the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems are the largest consumer of energy in this sector. To reduce this demand, more energy-efficient control algorithms are implemented and a popular choice for a controller is the model predictive control. However, this demands a precise model. Modeling the indoor climate in
Despite a growing interest in the conflict-disaster nexus, major knowledge gaps persist on operational knowledge and guidance on conflict considerations in disaster risk management programming. The objective of the study was to identify potential pathways for strengthening disaster risk management efforts in fragility-, violence-, and conflict-affected contexts. A collective case study was conduct
Högupplöst satellitdata erbjuder intressanta möjligheter för jordbrukssektorn och för precisionsodling. Sentinel-2 är ett jordobservationssystem som med sin höga rumsliga upplösning (10x10m) möjliggör analyser även inom jordbruksfält. En produkt framställd från Sentinel-2 är fenologi och produktivitetsdata från High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP). HR-VPP är en produkt meSentinel-2 based data provides interesting opportunities for land monitoring and applications in agriculture. High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) is derived from Sentinel-2 data and offers up to 13 metrics. These metrics have a high spatial resolution (10x10m) and enables the possibility for in-field agricultural monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate four of t
Syfte: Studien syftar till att skapa djupare förståelse till varför juniora managementkonsulter arbetar i den utsträckning som de gör. Vidare ämnar vi bidra med kunskap till forskning kring övertidsarbete och work life balance på kunskapsbaserade tjänsteföretag genom att, utifrån respondenternas redogörelser, undersöka juniora managementkonsulters upplevelser om deras arbetssituation. Metod: Det
Antalet äldre förväntas att öka och i samband med urbanisering är det enligt WHO en av dagens största sociala transformationer. För att försäkra inkluderande och rättvis stadsmiljö för samtida och framtida äldre har WHO utvecklat ett program med kriterier för städer att följa. Sverige anses vara i framkant när det gäller äldrefrågor oh stöd för äldre. Samtidigt behöver lagstiftningar och stödfunkt
The purpose of this report is to implement and compare the two Basel III standard methods on how to calculate the capital requirement for finan- cial institutions, related to counterparty credit risk. The models being the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) and the Internal Model Method (IMM). The SA-CCR model is a simpler and more standardized model with prescribed methods

This study aimed to understand gamers on a deeper level and investigate how certain in-game purchases and avatars can assist gamers with their self-expression. Through 12 semi-structured interviews and the support of two theories, we have been able to understand gamers in-depth.
This master thesis examines positions to long-term preservation of digital games in Sweden. Digital games are a new artform and type of cultural heritage but few actions have been taken to preserve them in an institutional context. If nothing is done now digital games risk disappearing very soon. The majority of long-term preservation of digital games has been performed by individual or groups
Sustainability is increasingly a matter of key strategic importance for organisations across all sectors as stakeholders from all directions are demanding it as the "new normal". Consequently, organisations worldwide are incorporating sustainability into their business operations. A shared sustainability vision among internal stakeholders can provide the necessary guidance to develop via
Chillers are large and complex machines that are used for temperature regulation in large buildings and plants. An undetected fault in the machine can lead to extended downtime and cause both great financial losses and increased environmental impact. Therefore Carrier, as manufacturer of chillers, is interested in developing fault detection algorithms capable of detecting the faults early so that
Perceptions of where the “natural” place for women is, vary considerably across societies. This is especially true in heterogeneous countries like Ethiopia, where stark variations between ethnicities and their attitudes towards gender roles exist. A much-debated question is how these differences emerge. Some research suggests that gender roles originated from traditional agricultural practices whe
Sharing music and displaying one’s musical preferences have become an inseparable part of the content circulating on social media, dating apps, and the online world as a whole. Accordingly, music-streaming services are providing users with more and more functions to share musical content on other platforms and even introduced summaries of their annual music consumption. How consumers are using the
The purpose of this work is to map which factors connected to the rescue service response to forest fires that has the biggest impact on the rescue service ability to limit fire spread and/or put out the fire. The factors are linked to the event forest fire and the actions performed by the rescue service. The background for this paper is a new law that requires the rescue service to be able to ass
The purpose of this study is to research how consumers adopt discourses to make sense of their experiences with brand co-creation on social media platforms. We wish to bring forward how the interactions of the stakeholders involved in the co-creation process affects the consumers, through the theoretical lens of governmentality and exploitation. The literature review outlines the conversation tha

We investigate the problem of risk averse robot path planning using the deep reinforcement learning and distributionally robust optimization perspectives. Our problem formulation involves modelling the robot as a stochastic linear dynamical system, assuming that a collection of process noise samples is available. We cast the risk averse motion planning problem as a Markov decision process and prop
