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
Den här studiens primära syfte är att jämföra och utvärdera två medborgardialogs metoder. De två metoderna är samrådsmöten och Public participatiory GIS (PPGIS). Samrådsmöten är en etablerad metod inom medborgardialog för samhällsplanering i Sverige. Uppsatser syftar till att pröva hypotesen om PPGIS är en effektivare metods för medborgardialog. Uppsatsen utvärderade först de två metoderna med hThe primary purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate two public participation methods. The two methods are public meetings and Public participatory GIS (PPGIS). Public meetings are an established public participation method for urban planning in Sweden. The thesis aims to test the hypothesis if PPGIS is more effective as a public participation method. The thesis first evaluated the two me
There is limited research conducted into the field of male victims of intimate partner abuse. Although, recent Swedish studies show that male victimization from female offender may be equally prevalent as female victimization of partner abuse. Previous international examples suggest that male victims may be less likely to acknowledge themselves as “victims” and therefore less likely to take legal
The aim of this thesis is to detect the influence from biases on capability assessments and methods to prevent them. Evaluation of the influence from biases are based on literature studies and interviews. The result suggests that some of the biases are more likely to occur depending on the context. Three biases occurred most frequently both in the literature studies and during the interviews and t
Bakgrund: Våld mot kvinnor är ett globalt hälsoproblem som strider mot de mänskliga rättigheterna. Hälso- och sjukvården har ett ansvar att stödja kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relation och om så nödvändigt hänvisa dem till rätt instans där kompetens och resurser finns. Syfte: Denna litteraturstudies syfte var att belysa forskning om sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av mötet med kvinnor som utsa
The increased use of pharmaceuticals in combination with inadequate techniques and procedures in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have resulted in higher concentrations of pharmaceuticals and other organic micro pollutants (OMPs) in the aquatic environment. It has been established that these pollutants have caused changes in the behaviour and reproduction of fishes. Furthermore, these OMPs
The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors approach towards, and experience of, working with lgbtq in school. The survey was conducted through semi-structured interviews with six school counselors working with students in age six-fifteen and sixteen-eighteen. The result of the study showed that all school counselors experienced the school environment as excluding for lgbtq-students
Introduktion: Information till patienten är ett av röntgensjuksköterskans kunskapsområde. Information är av stor betydelse i de flesta vårdsituationer, men framför allt inför undersökningar som kan innebära oro och ångest. Många patienter upplever ångest i samband med Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) undersökning. Syfte: Syftet med studie var att beskriva informations betydelse för patienter med å
The type of pattern recognition methods used for controlling modern prosthetics, referred to here as single-label classification methods, restricts users to a small amount of movements. One prominent reason for this is that the accuracy of these classification methods decreases as the number of allowed movements is increased. In this work a possible solution to this problem is presented by looking
Denna kandidatuppsats kartlägger med hjälp av en kvalitativ intervjustudie vilka förutsättningar HR-avdelningen på Sparbankens Skåne anser som väsentliga för deras möjlighet till att fungera väl. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv och en abduktiv ansats. Med hjälp av fem semistrukturerade intervjuer samlades empiriskdata in för att sedan analyseras med hjälp utav kodn
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 right of public access, in Swedish called allemansrätten, gives people the opportunity to roam freely in nature. Whether one prefers to explore nature by foot, on a bike or on a pair of skis is up to the individual since the right of public access includes all the above-mentioned types of transportation. Today there seems to be a trend that the usage of cross-country skiing tracks and mountain
This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th
För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where
I Sverige finns en lång tradition av att bygga småhus i trä. År 2022 beräknas det byggas ca 15 000 småhus varav den absoluta majoriteten byggs i trä. Att bygga mer i trä är något som eftersträvas då det är betydligt mer klimatvänligt än andra material. För att bygga tak används oftast prefabricerade takstolar där råspont eller plywoodskivor används som undertak. Det finns ofta inget extra system fIn Sweden there is a long-standing tradition of building houses out of wood. In the year 2022 it is expected that 15 000 houses will be built, where the majority are built out of wood. There is an aim to build more out of wood since it has less impact on the climate than other materials. To build roofs prefabricated trusses are often used, and the trusses are covered by tongue and groove (t&g)
This thesis is inspired by the lack of academic discourse on human rights aspects of human space settlement. It builds on the ever-growing literature on colonizing Mars and the ongoing public debate on the benefits versus disadvantages thereof. Taking on a critical approach, this thesis opens up a conversation on power, universalism, and legitimacy within space exploration, questioning both the on
Bakgrund: Hamstringsskador (HSI) är en av de vanligaste idrottsrelaterade skadorna och incidensen har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Idrottare som ofta drabbas är fotbollsspelare: 22% av alla fotbollsspelare drabbas av en HSI per säsong. Studier visar att tidigare HSI är den absolut största riskfaktorn för att drabbas igen och preventiva interventioner är därför en viktig komponent för att minska inc
A prototype of a novel 10B-based neutron detector called the Multi-Grid detector has been constructed, tested and commissioned for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector is constructed after the specifications set by the CSPEC instrument at ESS and is therefore called the CSPEC Multi-Grid detector. The detector uses multiple layers of solid coating containing 10B4C on the edges of a vo
Matters of housing are an often-discussed topic within architecture these days. As a subject, it is often recurring in architectural media, such as books, debates, podcasts, videos, and others. Sweden, like large parts of the developed world, faces right now a multitude of unique issues related to housing. It has become an expensive commodity, especially for younger people. Most of the existing ho
