  1. 1. Benchmarking Object Detection Algorithms for Optical Character Recognition of Odometer Mileage

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Mandus Hjelm; Eric Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Computer vision; machine learning; neural networks; object detection; optical character recognition; odometer; transfer learning;

    Abstract : Machine learning algorithms have had breakthroughs in many areas in the last decades. The hardest task, to solve with machine learning, was solving tasks that humans solve intuitively, e.g. understanding natural language or recognizing specific objects in images. READ MORE

  3. 2. Consequences of using Quantitative Risk Assessment as a verification tool

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Joey Öström; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantitative Risk Assessment; QRA; performance-based design; verification tool; performance solution; performance requirements; fire risk assessment; residential building; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : What are the consequences of using Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) as a verification tool? Performance-based building codes differ from prescriptive-based codes in that they define specific objectives to be met, enabling the building designer to choose which solution to use so long it meets the objectives. This master’s thesis explores the consequences of using QRA as a verification tool in comparison to existing verification methods currently in use in Australia. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : David Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

    Abstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

  5. 4. Strategic targets and KPIs for improved value chain circularity and sustainability performance : A case study of a large manufacturing enterprise within the energy sector

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Jonas Jansson; Herman Holmberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Circular Economy; Circular Economy business; Key Performance indicator; Circular indicators; Sustainable value chain; sustainable business models. sustainability; circular business model; resource efficiency; Environmental strategy; sustainability strategy; energy efficiency; Circularity; Circular business; KPI; Sustainability KPI; Renewable Energy; Circular targets; sustainability target; Circular transformation; Industrial manufacturing; sustainable manufacturing; Cirkulär ekonomi; hållbar utveckling; Mätetal; Hållbarhetsstrategi;

    Abstract : Global consumption levels currently extend far beyond what planet Earth in terms of natural resources can regenerate in a sustainable manor and will by 2050 reach levels corresponding to what it would require three Earths to sustain. This overexploitation and unsustainable management of the Earth’s resources in combination with the necessity of mitigating climate change and reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 require action across all sectors, not least the manufacturing industry.

  6. 5. The Performance of Socially Responsible Investments : Are Swedish mutual funds forced to pay a price for doing good?

    University essay from Jönköping University

    Author : Gordon Molander; Carl Jönsson Asp; [2021]
    Keywords : SRI; ESG; Mutual Equity Funds; Conventional; Fund Performance; Portfolio Analysis;

    Abstract : The financial performance of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) strategies is heavily debated in the modern age. Due to lack of evidence on Swedish SRI performance, Swedish investors are uncertain about placing their financial assets in these strategies as they are afraid expected to sacrifice their financial return for doing good.
