3. 2. Extreme renovation of concrete buildings

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Simon Hardo; Daniel Maher; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The global climate crisis and the need to reduce carbon emissions have brought attention to the construction and real estate sector, which has a significant environmental footprint. However, many real estate developers opt for demolition and new construction instead of renovating existing buildings due to challenges such as low floor heights and stringent sustainability requirements.

4. 3. Optimization-Based Path Planning For Indoor UAVs in an Autonomous Exploration Framework

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Marco Cella; [2023]
   Keywords : Optimal Path Planning; B-Splines; Autonomous Exploration; Indoor UAV; Crisis and Disaster Management; Trajectory Estimation; SITL; Optimal Banplanering; B-Splines; Autonom Utforskning; Inomhus-UAV; Kris- och Katastrofhantering; Uppskattning av Banor; SITL;

   Abstract : Exploration is a fundamental problem in robotics that requires robots to navigate through unknown environments to autonomously gather information about their surroundings while executing collision-free paths. In this project, we propose a method for producing smooth paths during the exploration process in indoor environments using UAVs to improve battery efficiency and enhance the quality of pose estimation.

5. 4. Prefigurative politics as applied to the climate crisis : A game theoretical assessment

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Nathan Carlshamre; [2023]
   Keywords : Prefigurative politics; game theory; prefiguration; climate activism; activism; environmental activism; tragedy of the commons; anarchism; left-libertarianism; political theory; Montgomery bus boycott; constructive program; ecotage; non-violence; violence; cartel theory; salience;

   Abstract : In this paper, I make use of the game-theoretical concepts of cartel theory and coordination theory via salience and Schelling points in order to assess the viability of prefigurative politics when used by group actors to address the particular case of the climate crisis. I show that prefigurative politics as a strategy faces significant systematic disadvantages when used by social movements attempting to address climate change as compared to when it is used by social movements focused on other causes.
