  1. 1. Anomaly Detection in the EtherCAT Network of a Power Station : Improving a Graph Convolutional Neural Network Framework

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

    Author : Niklas Barth; [2023]
    Keywords : Unsupervised Learning; Multivariate Time Series; Graph Convolutional Neural Networks; Anomaly Detection; Industrial Control System; EtherCAT; Power Station; Electricity Grid;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an anomaly detection framework is assessed and fine-tuned to detect and explain anomalies in a power station, where EtherCAT, an Industrial Control System, is employed for monitoring. The chosen framework is based on a previously published Graph Neural Network (GNN) model, utilizing attention mechanisms to capture complex relationships between diverse measurements within the EtherCAT system.

  2. 2. The Swedish way : How can employees be included in internal communication during a crisis?

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för bibliotek, information, pedagogik och IT

    Author : Maria-Helena Bringeskog Miller; Lina Cederlöf Lundgren; [2023]
    Keywords : COVID-19 pandemic; internal crisis communication; higher education; crisis management; coworkership; communication channels; higher education; employee inclusion;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on internal crisis communication during the Covid-19 pandemic at the medical faculty of a major Swedish university (MSU). This thesis aims to examine how the use of internal communication channels at MSU contributed to including employees in internal crisis communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. READ MORE

  3. 3. Pricing and Modeling Heavy Tailed Reinsurance Treaties - A Pricing Application to Risk XL Contracts

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ormia Abdullah Mohamad; Anna Westin; [2023]
    Keywords : Reinsurance; Extreme Value Theory; POT-model; Hill estimator; Risk XL contracts; Generalized Pareto distribution; Method of Moments.; Återförsäkring; Extremevärdesteori; POT-modellen; Hill estimatorn; Risk XL kontrakt; generella Paretofördelningen; Momentmetoden.;

    Abstract : To estimate the risk of a loss occurring for insurance takers is a difficult task in the insurance industry. It is an even more difficult task to price the risk for reinsurance companies which insures the primary insurers. READ MORE

  4. 4. Intention and Indiscernibilia: : Against Interpretive Intentionalism

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för estetik

    Author : Alexander Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Art Interpertation; Literary Interpretation; Intentionalism; Anti-intentionalism; The Intentional Fallacy;

    Abstract : What determines the meaning of a work of art? This paper considers three theories of art-critical interpretation: moderate actual intentionalism (the artist’s intention partly determines the work’s meaning), hypothetical intentionalism (the work’s meaning is the best hypothesis of what the artist could have meant), and the value-maximizing theory (interpretations which maximize the work’s value are to be preferred). I argue that moderate actual intentionalism is incoherent, collapsing either into the intentional fallacy or into an extreme form of intentionalism. READ MORE

  5. 5. Copula approach to fitting bivariate time series

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Jun Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : VaR; Copula; ARMA-GARCH; Extreme Value Theory; GPD; Hill estimator; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : We apply the GARCH-copula method to estimate Value at Risk (VaR) for European and Stockholm stock indices. First, marginal distributions are estimated by the ARMA-GARCH model with normal, Student-t, and skewed t distributions. READ MORE
