Using LSTM for predictions of the regulating direction on the Swedish electricity intraday market

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

Emission factors and methods used in climate impact assessments of energy use in Swedish heated buildings - Assessing district heating and electricity as energy source

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

Towards low carbon buildings: A case study in Sweden

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

“One can imagine one’s making a conscious choice” : AI and algorithmic awareness among Swedish public librarians

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

Two strategies for gender-neutral anti-fashion: A case study of Swedish and Belarusian designer collections

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

Leading ‘The’ healthcare revolution in Sweden

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’

How do fires affect the railway? - A Swedish study on what factors influence fire risk and how it affects railway traffic.

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

Living room or library? The roles of physical spaces in public libraries. A case study of Idé A, Drottninghög library in Helsingborg, Sweden

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

Adapting Household Energy Consumption: How Consumers in Germany and Sweden Managed the European Energy Crisis

Residential energy consumption in Europe is unsustainable, relying heavily on fossil fuels and contributing to climate change. The European energy crisis, as a naturally occurring experiment, disrupted energy consumption in households due to drastically increased prices and raised public awareness while creating a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of change in household energy consumption.

Administrative Transfers by Settler Colonial States and Their Subjugation of Native Populations’ Land Use - A study on mechanisms of settler colonial states in Sweden and Canada during the second half of the nineteenth century

This thesis examines how administrative transfers by settler colonial states in nineteenth-century Sweden and Canada contributed to the subjugation of indigenous land use. Using qualitative analysis of historical documents and legal sources, the study reveals the pervasive presence of administrative transfers and their implications. In Canada, the study highlights the imposition of non-physical bo

Mussel farming along the south-Swedish coasts - a possible solution to eutrophication?

The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. The study presents a suitability analysis using GIS to find potential locations for blue-mussel farm establishment, and the outcome was produced as maps. A mul
