Learning from demonstration represents a powerful type of learning and a promising alternative to programming robots. However, even after years of research in the field the current level of robot imitation skills can be compared to a 2-year old child. Most of the presented works up to now have been exact imitation of trajectories without any particular understanding about the rudimentary goals of t
Combinatorial auctions allow buyers to express preferences over bun- dles of items. The Primal-Dual (PD) auction developed by de Vries et al. (2007) is an efficient ascending combinatorial auction which, given certain conditions on buyers valuations, achieves Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) payments. The Universal Competitive Equilibrium (UCE) auction by Mishra and Parkes (2007) is a generalization of
Through Bonnie M. Meguid’s theory on Position, Salience and Ownership, I analyse the two Swedish government parties Folkpartiets and Moderaternas strategic approaches towards the populist radical right party Sverigedemokraterna. The period that I analyse is 2006-2012 and the focus is on the parliament level. I use qualitative text analysis as method and concentrate on material like polical program
Föroreningar på en fastighet berör fastighetsägaren på olika sätt. En direkt effekt av föroreningarna kan vara att fastighetsägarens möjligheter att använda marken begränsas och att värdet på fastigheten påverkas. Det kan också få till följd att fastigheten blir svår att avyttra. Framförallt kan en förorening på fastigheten innebära att fastighetsägaren riskerar miljörättsliga krav på att vidta av
Prescriptive building codes have been used for many years and created a common sense regarding what an adequate fire safety design and an acceptable level of risk is. Introducing performance based building codes brought architectural flexibility, more bespoke design, and cost-benefit analysis into fire safety design previously not possible in a number of different building types. Alternative Solut
Den vattenrättsliga regleringen av vattenkraft växte fram i början av 1900-talet för att hantera den stora utbyggnad av vattenkraft som följde industrialiseringen. Den miljörättsliga regleringen av vattenkraft kom dock först vid införandet av MB år 1998, en utveckling som löpt parallellt med en växande miljörättslig reglering inom EU. MB ställer omfattande krav på verksamhetsutövare ur miljöhänsynThe legislation of hydropower emerged in the early 1900s to handle the large expansion of hydropower that followed industrialization. Actual environ¬mental demands were first placed on operators of hydropower after the introduction of the Environmental Code in 1998. The aquatic environ-ment is today one of Europe's most regulated areas and the EU Water Framework Directive set out concrete and
Det finns flera viktiga rättsliga principer inom svensk processrätt. Några av de viktigaste är principerna om muntlighet, omedelbarhet och koncentration som funnits sedan rättegångs- balkens (1942:740) ikraftträdande 1948. Principerna är därmed gamla. I dagsläget är vittnesattester som huvudregel förbjudet enligt 35 kap. 14 § rättegångsbalken. Detta betyder att de tidiga förhör som görs under föruBy far the most important principles in Swedish procedural law are the principle of oral pro- ceedings, the principle of immediateness and the concentration principle. These are long standing principles that have been in accordance with the Swedish Code of Judicial Procee- dings (1942:740) since it came into force in 1948. The society since then has changed rapidly and there is need for the Swedis
The essay is a comparative study between the Swedish regulation of spousal maintenance after divorce and the corresponding French regulation of prestation compensatoire which directly translates to provision of compensation. The regulations differ, particularly, because French law includes a ground for refusal related to the issue of fault in the divorce. To explain the difference, the significanc
Video content is the dominant traffic type on mobile networks today and this portion is only expected to increase in the future. In this thesis we investigate ways of reducing bit rates for adaptive streaming applications in the latest video coding standard, H.265 / High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The current models for offering different-resolution versions of video content in a dynamic way
Sammanfattning Ett krav på s.k. tillräknelighet, dvs. en slags ansvarsförmåga, för straffansvar är inte på något sätt främmande i svensk rätt. De straffrättsliga regleringarna i vårt land har dock utvecklats och förändrats under lång tid och straffrätten har därför sett olika ut under olika perioder. Ett tillräknelighetskrav för straffansvar fanns i svensk rätt innan brottsbalken trädde ikraft år Abstract Criminal legislation in Sweden has evolved and changed over the years. Requirements on accountability for criminal liability has previously been part of Swedish Law. However, since the enactment of the Swedish criminal code, enforced in 1965, the regulations removed the insanity and diminished responsibility defence, thereby making Swedish Law quite unique. Ever since the removal of this
This case study investigates what role the government decisions and policies have for deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. The decisions and policies are part of the immediate causes of deforestation, which exists in a theoretical framework that I have developed. This theoretical framework constitutes of three levels: underlying causes, immediate causes and sources, which lead to deforestation.
A central dimension of the conflict between Israel and Palestine concerns territorial claims and the ways in which these claims are legitimised to both domestic and international audiences. In this regard, the kibbutz is arguably the most interesting settlement form, as it has both facilitated Israeli territorial claims and attracted admiration internationally for its unique communal structure alo
In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va
