Electricity price prediction is increasingly important as the prices become more volatile due to the expan- sion of weather-dependent renewable electricity sources. The electricity market of focus in this thesis is the Nord pool intraday market and the regulating prices occurring on it. For actors trading on the intra- day market increased volatility implies greater risks since the regulating pric

Sentinel-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

The purpose of this study is to gain insights regarding the identity work and identity struggles of medical professionals that play out in response to the “NPM change” in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department at Skåne University Hospital.
