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

When the property- and building industry moves towards new solutions targeting reduced climate impact, this puts pressure on the building owners and companies to calculate the climate impact of buildings. It may seem easy, but there are various methods and guidelines to navigate around. This study addressed the issue of which emission factors for district heating and electricity are used in climat

This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve cl

I denna uppsats ger jag en inblick i hur bibliotekarier på folkbibliotek uppfattar, förstår och interagerar med algoritmer och AI i relation till sitt yrke. Mitt främsta fokus ligger på hur bibliotekariernas uppfattningar av algoritmer och AI i slutändan formar deras handlingar. För att uppnå detta syfte tar jag min utgångspunkt i deras personliga syn på algoritmer och AI. Materialet för denna uppIn this thesis I provide insight into how librarians at public libraries perceive, understand, and interact with algorithms and AI in relation to their profession. My main focus lies in how librarians’ perceptions of algorithms and AI ultimately shape their actions. To achieve this aim I take my starting point from their privately held views of algorithms and AI. The material for the thesis is gat

This paper examines the emergence of gender-neutral clothing, particularly during the period of 2015-2016 when there was a notable increase in interest surrounding the concepts of gender-neutrality and androgyny in fashion. The objective of this paper is to contribute new research to the field, as there is a lack of specific studies on gender-neutral clothing. To achieve this, the paper conducts i

This paper aims to contribute to the growing literature on leadership by presenting an empirical (nurse’s) view of leadership interpretation in the health sector. Furthermore, the nurse’s view on leadership will be compared to the presented transformational leadership (TL) in change models. Ultimately, this will result in the presentation of matches and mismatches between the reality of the nurse’

Några utav de vanligaste orsakerna till att en brand uppkom mellan 2010 och 2020 var ”bränder som medvetet startades” samt ”bränder som startats av gnistor vid tågbromsning”. Av den totala mängden bränder som uppkom stod tågbromsning för cirka 1.1 % av dem och den anledning som stod för absolut störst andel bränder var ”bränder startade utav okänd anledning” vilket stod för 43%. KlimatförändringaForest fires can start in a variety of ways. "Fires started deliberately" and "fires started by sparks generated from a train braking" were two of the most common causes of fires between 2010 and 2020. Train braking accounted for 1.1% of all fires, whereas fires created by unknown reasons accounted for 43% of all fires. The climate is expected to change in the future, and sinc

The present study explores the value and role of the physical space of the public library from the perspective of the visitors in the context of digitalization. The qualitative research was based on semi-structured interviews with regular visitors of Idé A Drottninghög (Helsingborg, Sweden), Idé A library staff members, and collaborative organizations of Idé A that make use of the library’s physic

This thesis examines how income affects household consumption in Sweden between 1999 and 2009. Using data from SCB, the study explores how people with different income levels spend their money on various goods and services. The analysis is based on Engel’s law, which suggests that as income increases, the share of spending on basic needs like food goes down, while spending on non-essential or luxu

This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) include a large group of chemicals that has been used for many decades because of their mechanical and chemical stability. They owe these unique features due to the strong C-F bonds in their molecules. PFAS can be fully or partly fluorinated and the more fluorinated they get, the more persistent they become. They have been used in several industries such

This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration.

To fully decarbonise the energy system, electrification is needed as one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden and Europe. The deployment of renewable energy resources plays a central role in electrification and will continue to increase. In January 2024, Svenska Kraftnät published a long-term market analysis with four future scenarios regarding the devel

In response to escalating public health challenges, particularly concerning mental health issues among youth, manual-based interventions have gained prominence in Sweden. These interventions are increasingly seen as integral components of proactive measures to address the escalating rates of mental illness. This study focuses on the implementation of the evidence-based program Youth Awareness of M
