This thesis examines the effects of South Africa’s electricity crisis on the government-driven development of renewable energy from 2007 to 2023 by testing the applicability of the energy security framework. The electricity crisis presents itself through regular electricity cuts, extreme power tariff rises and a lack of long-term sustainability due to the high reliance on coal and Eskom, the monop

Verksamhetsöverlåtelser är vanligt förekommande i dagens samhälle och påverkar därmed många av oss människor som lever och arbetar i samhället. Överlåtare, förvärvare och arbetstagare påverkas alla på ett eller annat sätt när en verksamhetsöverlåtelse sker. Denna uppsats har genom rättsdogmatisk metod tillkommit i syfte att analytiskt utreda hur arbetsgivare och arbetstagare som berörs av en verksBusiness transfers are common in today’s society and affect many of us who live and work here. Transferees, transferors and employees are all in some way affected when a transfer of undertakings or business takes place. This essay is written with the aim to analytically investigate in how employers and employees who are part of a transfer is affected. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate how ter

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där energianvändningen främst består av energi för uppvärmning. Energibesparingar på en byggnads uppvärmningsenergi kan göras med hjälp av tekniska åtgärder och genom förändring av brukarvanor. Det finns i dagsläget ett gap mellan den förväntade och faktiska energianvändningen i byggnader. Detta The aim of this report is to study occupants’ behavior to investigate the impact occupants’ behaviors, with an extra focus on different window opening behaviors, has on the total annual energy use in an apartment building. Other behaviors that are included in the study are use of household electricity, hot water use, and indoor temperature. The study will be performed as a literature study combine

This thesis seeks to examine the suitability and robustness of transfer learning models in creating an efficient reCAPTCHA v2 classifier, and further evaluates their performance against various adversarial attacks. Three models - DenseNet201, EfficientNetV2, and InceptionV3 - were trained and assessed, highlighting the applicability of transfer learning techniques in the classification of reCAPTCH

There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. Rapeseed is the second-largest oilseed crop worldwide and is primarily used to produce edible oils through mechani

The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances. Given Canada’s colonial history, the Canadian government has a special res

In countries such as the U.S and Poland abortion laws have recently been made more restrictive, however this has not been the case in Sweden. The debate around abortion in Sweden quietened down after the law allowing abortion “on demand” was passed in 1974, but resurged during the 1990s with for example the group “Yes to life” (“Ja till livet”) organizing demonstrations. “Yes to life” mainly sprun

Cities and urban areas increasingly have to adapt to extreme weather events such as flooding, and droughts caused by climate change. In this context the interest for nature-based solutions has increased both within academia and political discourse. Nature-based solutions are widely understood as solutions and adaption measures inspired by or using nature while at the same time providing social, ec

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka vilka argument de boende i Nørrebro tillämpar i förhållande till användningen av visitationszoner i Danmark, samt hur dessa argument kan tolkas utifrån relevanta sociologiska teorier och tidigare forskning. Bakgrunden till studien är det eventuella införandet av visitationszoner i Sverige och den diskussion som uppstått angående dess effektivitet i arbetet m

This paper aims to contribute to the increasing popularity of machine learning in sports by predicting the winner in a tennis match using classification methods. The dataset used in this study spans a 10-year period and includes ATP singles matches from 2012 to 2022, with up to 49 explanatory variables. Six regression-based models were constructed and tested, all of which achieved an accuracy of a

Sedan ChatGPT lanserades fritt tillgängligt till världen har den gett stort inslag inom utbildningsområdet. Många nya möjligheter och utmaningar ställs fram och vissa lärosäten diskuterar hur det kan integreras i utbildningen samtidigt som andra är alltmer kritiska. Medan diskussionen är livlig saknas insikt i vad studenterna tycker och tänker. Syftet med denna studie är således att undersöka stud

This thesis aims to study obituaries in the Swedish newspaper 'Dagens Nyheter'. Newspapers are gathered from the years 1865 to 2010 with a 5-year interval and then categorized based on similarities between the issues. By approaching these categories with eye-tracking research and previous research on the cultural importance of obituaries, conclusions on the content, layout, and usage can b

Cross-professional teamwork has, according to prior studies, especially within human service organizations, shown to be a recurring theme, seemingly with the aim to provide a holistic approach to clients. Within school social work, such approaches are found to accommodate school pupils' complex problems that often go beyond one singular professional’s knowledge base. Furthermore, social polici

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

Throughout the years, Mérida has been subject of an outstanding growth, economically, socially and spatially. Starting from being a major Mayan civilization city, to a colonial Spanish settlement that grew into being the capital of the peninsula, it has always gone through changes and innovations according to the necessities of its inhabitants. By being the most secure and safe city in Mexico to

Studien undersöker integrationen av IoT-data i befintliga BI-system och dess relevans för kort- och långsiktiga beslut samt begränsningar som är förknippade med användningen av denna typ av data. IoT har blivit alltmer integrerat i organisationers verksamhet men forskningen kring dess relevans till BI-system är fortfarande begränsad. Genom intervjuer med olika organisationer och analys av insamlad

Behovet av att skapa hållbara och flexibla byggnader har vuxit under de senaste åren, inte minst för att möta högt uppsatta klimatmål. Utrymmena mellan byggnaderna, med andra ord utemiljöer, har regelbundet prioriterats sekundärt och anpassats i stor utsträckning efter det bebyggda behovet. Utemiljöer i urban kontext innehåller ofta mer eller mindre kollektiva varor, som är icke-exkluderbara och iThe need for sustainable and flexible buildings has grown in recent years in order to meet climate goals. However, outdoor environments have often been overlooked and is often strongly controlled by the built environment. These spaces hold significant social and ecological benefits but pose challenges for real estate companies as they lack direct financial returns. Well-designed outdoor environme

The Anatomy of Expectation. Dreams of Social Mobility in the Swedish Baltic Sea Area, 1680–1770 Social mobility in the early modern period has been subject to extensive research, often with an interest in quantities, ideologies, and strategies. The personal driving forces behind this mobility, on the other hand, remain obscure. Focusing on servants of the state in the Swedish Baltic Sea area betw

Utilizing the Double Machine Learning (DML) framework with both Partially Linear Regression (PLR) and Interactive Regression Models (IRM), this study examined the crucial role of parental education in the early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Analysis was conducted on comprehensive data from the National Survey of Children's Health spanning the years 2017 to 2021. A significant ne
