  1. 1. IS POLITICAL CORRUPTION A MISSING PIECE IN THE PUZZLE OF AUTOCRATIZATION? A quantitative study of the relationship between changes in levels of political corruption and changes in levels of democracy

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Rebecca Sanderöd Rodin; [2023-01-30]
    Keywords : political corruption; autocratization; democracy; political trust;

    Abstract : While previous research has examined how levels of democracy affect corruption, the number of studies investigating how levels of corruption affect democracy is limited. Declining levels of democracy, or autocratization, is an unsolved puzzle with many theorized causes, such as inequality, low accountability, and economic issues. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ocean rogue wave analysis for the development of safer navigation systems. : A Thesis submitted to the University of Gävle for the degree of Bachelor of Mathematics

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Matematik

    Author : Sergio Manzetti; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Rogue waves are unexpectedly high waves of 2.5X the significant wave height and which occur in nearly all phases of nature, from  oceans, to fiber-optic cables and atmospheric air-masses. In the ocean, rogue waves pose a significant danger to shipping and fishing vessels and have been found to reach 27. READ MORE

  5. 4. EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF GENERATIVE MODELS FOR TIME SERIES SYNTHESIS

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Muhammad Junaid Haris; [2023]
    Keywords : GAN; Generative Adversarial Network; VQ-VAE; Vector Quantized Variational AutoEncoder; AutoEncoder; VAE; Time Series; Synthesizing; Data Synthesis;

    Abstract : Motivated by successes in the image generation domain, this thesis presents a novel Hybrid VQ-VAE (H-VQ-VAE) approach for generating realistic synthetic time series data with categorical features. The primary motivation behind this work is to address the limitations of existing generative models in accurately capturing the underlying structure and patterns of time series data, especially when dealing with categorical features.

    Abstract : Testing, verification and validation of sensors, components and systems is vital in the early-stage development of new cars with computer-in-the-car architecture. This can be done with the help of the existing technique, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing which, in the close loop testing case, consists of four main parts: Real-Time Simulation Platform, Sensor Simulation PC, Interface Unit (IU), and unit under test which is, for instance, a Vehicle Computing Unit (VCU).
