Machine learning (ML) started as hype and an academic dream and throughout recent years has become reality for many organizations that are working towards becoming data-driven when making vital business decisions with the use of great amounts of data. Capitalizing on ML re-quires expertise which the job market is struggling to provide. This resulted in the intro-duction of the concept of automatin

The use of tools is closely connected to the development of the human species, in both cognitive abilities and physiology. Tilting the equation of energy and time favorably, by the use of tools, has shaped us to who we are. Cooking and its benefits have created an edge for humans to develop and thrive but it also poses challenges. We have evolved alongside fire to a point where we depend on an ex

Due to climate change, cities are increasingly facing the situation of being exposed to more frequent and prolonged extreme weather events in the future, such as heat and droughts, which are exacerbated by urban heat island (UHI) effects. The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) in the form of trees is seen as a possible adaptation measure to regulate the microclimate. However, there is an

Trenden med virtuellt arbete och arbete hemifrån har snabbt accelererats av Covid-19-pandemin.

Klimatförändringar och överkonsumtion av fossila naturresurser har skapat ett behov av en energiproduktion som baseras på förnybara energikällor, däribland biomassa innehållandes lignocellulosa. Restavfall från jordbruket, som vetehalm, är material innehållandes lignocellulosa som kan bidra till energitillförseln om de används till biogasproduktion. Ett problem med biogasproduktion från sådana matClimate change and depletion of fossil resources have generated a need for energy production based on renewable resources such as lignocellulosic biomass. Agricultural residues, like wheat straw, is lignocellulosic biomass that could contribute to the energy supply if it was used for biogas production. One issue with biogas production from lignocellulosic materials is, however, the high content of

The aspect of sustainability has been a major topic in construction and real estate planning the last decade, but this seems to have fall between the cracks in the fire protection design. Therefor the aim of this thesis is to map building developer and fire engineer’s opinion and understanding about sustainable fire safety. The report also aims to develop an explanation of the concept and investig

The precarious state of affairs in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, particularly in Mato Grosso, where unsustainable cattle ranching is driving the deforestation. Brazil needs to invest in sustainable development of its cattle production. Integrated Livestock Systems is a technology which serves this purpose, but is poorly integrated into Brazil’s Agricultural Innovation system. The literature rev

Introduction: Knowing the viscosity of carbon dioxide expanded solvents is important in extraction and chromatography processes due to its effect on mass transfer. Background: Rather few studies on viscosity of carbon dioxide expanded ethanol at different pressures, temperatures, and molar ratios exist. Aim(s): Building a system and validating a method to determine the viscosity of supercritic

This research examined the experiences of 12 low-risk individuals to identify factors influential to their behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. The method used a semi-structured format of interviews conducted over June 2021. The study found that participants held a subscription like mentality towards adopted protective behaviours which focused on the protection of loved ones. Behavi

Social interaction is a basic human need that contributes to society by allowing individuals to compare and exchange opinions and perspectives, bridging the gap between different groups. The primary setting for this exchange is what we define as public space. In our daily lives, we find ourselves constantly interacting with the environment that surrounds us, influencing and being influenced by it.

With the Covid-19 pandemic coinciding with the convention as law and drastically changing the lives of many, including those of children and youth, what role do children’s rights play during a gl

I takt med att världen blir mer datadriven flyttas allt fler stora beräkningar till molnet. Då tillkommer ofta problem med filhantering. Detta examensarbete bidrar med ett nytt sätt att dela filer med molnet, där molntjänsten får tillgång till filer som lagras på användarens dator.Data science development largely revolves around working in notebooks, and these usually run in a cluster environment. These cloud notebooks do however come with limitations. Support for tools like version control, testing, refactoring and linting is limited, which negatively impacts developer experience and software quality. We propose a networked file system for sharing local files and director

The territory of Western Sahara (WS) has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, displacing many of the indigenous people now living in refugee camps in Algeria. In 2019, the EU adopted a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) with Morocco which includes WS waters. This in spite of two court rulings stating that trade agreements including WS resources are not legal without the cons
