In recent years there has been a large increase in available data from the electric grid in Finland. The availability of both operational as well as financial data enables exploration of forecasting energy prices using deep learning techniques. As a result this thesis implements the Multi-Horizon Quantile Recurrent Neural Network (MQRNN) to forecast the regulating price in the Finnish energy marke
Love Addiction (an obsession with romantic relationships) is a phenomenon that has received increasing attention. This study examined whether narcissism is related to Love Addiction. The method that we used was a convenience test N = 200 and a questionnaire that measured Narcissism based on the scales Narcissistic Admiration and Narcissistic Rivalry (NARC) and Love Addiction based on the Love Addi
The Janzen–Connell hypothesis states that seedling survival increases with distance from the parent tree, which promotes regular spacing of species within a forest and thus biodiversity. Very few studies have tested this hypothesis in tropical Africa. This paper evaluates the occurrence of Janzen-Connell effects for seedlings and adult trees of the species Cola cordifolia in a dry tropical forest
This essay examines articles published on the English editorial websites of Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera that discuss the protests that have taken place in Iran following the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini. The study is based on the framing theory, the gender theory, and the theory on “primary definers”. The purpose of the essay is to present which people get their voices heard in the media's coverag
I denna uppsats har psykiskt störda lagöverträdares ansvarsförutsättningar i svensk- respektive dansk rättsordning undersökts. Sveriges val, att i samband med brottsbalkens införande 1965, avskaffa tillräknelighetsbestämmelserna, har genom åren mött en hel del kritik. Uppsatsen avser att besvara frågan kring huruvida ett tillräknelighetsrekvisit bör återinföras i svensk lagstiftning eller ej. DåThis thesis examines the conditions of liability for mentally disturbed offenders in the legal systems of Sweden and Denmark. Sweden’s decision to abolish the insanity defense provisions upon the introduction of the Penal Code in 1965 has faced considerable criticism over the years. This study aims to address whether a legal requirement for criminal accountability should be reintroduced into Swedi
Ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken som innebär straffnedsättning för unga lagöverträdare vid straffmätning har under de senaste åren varit under omfattande förändring i straffskärpande riktning. Utvecklingen bryter mot en tradition av mildare straff för unga. Unga har länge särbehandlats straffrättsligt men detta har i större omfattning börjat ifrågasättas, då särbehandlingen kan anses The reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29, Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code, which entails a reduced sentence for young offenders at the meting out of punishment has in recent years undergone significant changes in a more severe direction. The development marks a departure with a tradition of more lenient punishment for young offenders. Juveniles have long been treated differently in cri
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to have a significant effect in the use of algorithmic trading (AT). AT is already dominating the type of trading in financial markets, and ML can increase the capacity of electronic trading. The rationale of this study is to examine the current adoption of AI and ML in AT, and why trading firms in the financial industry should use
Too dangerous to forget – a semiotic and contextual study of the memorial Romanoparken – Sång om en plats This essay examines the memorial Romanoparken – Sång om en plats (2020), which embodies Roma memories. However, there are risks with memorials when they take the material form of a monument that they are seen as completed actions and the completion can lead to distancing oneself from the
Background: Seafarers constitute a global workforce exposed to unique psychosocial, organisational, and environmental stressors. Despite growing attention to maritime wellbeing, empirical evidence on how these multi level determinants interact to shape mental and physical health remains limited. This thesis aims to identify key determinants of mental health, wellbeing, happiness, and self rated he
The retina is a thin tissue layer on the inside of the eye and may be subject to tractional forces in diseases like myopia, retinoschisis, and retinal detachment. Müller glial cells (MGCs) are the only cells spanning the entire retinal thickness and hypothetically respond to mechanical stress imposed across retinal layers. We designed a device to apply force in vitro perpendicular to the retinal sThe retina is a thin tissue layer on the inside of the eye and may be subject to tractional forces in diseases like myopia, retinoschisis, and retinal detachment.

This paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness of renovating single-family houses to Passive House level, as compared to maintaining the existing buildings or renovating to building regulation level. The assessment involved life cycle cost analyses, and concerns the Swedish single-family housing stock constructed between 1961 and 1980, which accounts for about a third of Sweden’s two million single-f
It is well understood that adding to the population increases CO2 emissions. At the same time, having children is a transformative experience, such that it might profoundly change adult (i.e., parents’) preferences and consumption. How it might change is, however, unknown. Depending on if becoming a parent makes a person “greener” or “browner,” parents may either balance or exacerbate the added COIt is well understood that adding to the population increases CO2 emissions.

This study discusses economic crises and crisis preparedness in Sweden. The message may be summarized in four points: (i) economic crises are a recurrent element in Swedish economic history, (ii) economic crises have far-reaching political effects, (iii) economic crises change the design of economic policies and institutions, and (iv) new crises will occur in the future. A major method to prepare

To investigate the symbiotic interaction of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai on Chenopodium quinoa Willd. in isolation, we studied axenic co-culture of the T. harzianum isolates T-22 and BOL-12QD and the C. quinoa cultivars Kurmi and Maniqueña real. Neither T-22 nor BOL-12QD affected seedling growth during two days of co-culture in the early growth phase of rapid primary root extension.
