When an AI is developed, it may need to be trained with a dataset

I dagens samhälle är hållbar utveckling av största vikt, och Sverige arbetar aktivt för att uppnå målen i Agenda 2030. Bland annat inom byggbranschen är det nödvändigt att vara sparsam med resurser och minska utsläppen av växthusgaser (Co2). Under senare tid har det byggts ett stort antal bostäder i Sverige men behovet är fortsatt stort (även om branschen just nu är inne i en lågkonjunktur). Vi viDo we build better buildings with today’s requirements? This work concerns a comparative study between a political investment in apartment buildings for families with many children [Barnrikehus] from the 1930s and 1940s and newly produced apartment buildings with a focus on daylight and energy performance. The study employs various methods, including the comparative method, literature search, arc

Thermoacoustic mixing can be a method of enhancing mixing in micro channels by utilizing temperature differences in fluids and applying an acoustic field. The main goal of the project was to build a functional thermal setup, to investigate the significance of input parameters, and to find the optimal parameters in order to achieve the best mixing enhancement. The project was executed at the depart

Sammanfattning: Mantelsignaturen HIMU ( High μ/ High U/Pb) som får sitt namn från dess höga 238U/204Pb innehåll är en av normalt fyra mantelsignaturer som är funnet på flera oceaniska basaltöar över världen så som St Helena. Ursprunget av detta material är okänt men flera hypoteser kring dess bildande finns, där de flesta verkar ha subdukterande oceanskorpa med i bildningsprocessen. Denna litteratAbstract:The mantle signature HIMU (High μ / High U/Pb) which gets its name from its high 238U/204Pb ratios is one of four mantelsignatures which is found on several oceanic basalt islands around the world such as St Helena. There are also several hypotheses about the origin of this HIMU material where most have subducted oceanic plates as part of the formation. The purpose of this literature anal

Med hänvisning till den europeiska pelaren för sociala rättigheter antog unionslagstiftaren den 19 oktober 2022 ett direktiv om minimilöner. Direktivet mötte under lagstiftningsprocessen stark kritik från Danmark och Sveriges regeringar vilka var de enda medlemsstater som röstade emot kommissionens förslag i rådet. En förklaring till detta är att både Sverige och Danmark saknar lagstadgade minimilFollowing the European Pillar of Social Rights, the union legislator adopted a directive on minimum wages on 19 October 2022. During the legislative process, the directive was heavily criticised by the Danish and Swedish governments, which were the only member states to vote against the Commission's proposal in the Council. One explanation for this scepticism is that neither Sweden nor Denmark
