  3. 42. Trade-induced Environmental Impacts Connected to a Policy Promoting Agricultural Biofuels in Sweden; A sensitivity analysis on an Agent-based Life Cycle Assessment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Fanny Elfgren; [2023]
    Keywords : AB-LCA; Life Cycle Assessment; Energy crops; Trade; Import; Biofuel; Sensitivity Analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. READ MORE

  4. 43. Life cycle assessment on sodium-ion cells for energy storage systems : A cradle-to-gate study including 16 environmental perspectives, focusing on climate change impact

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Rebecca Nibelius; [2023]
    Keywords : Sodium-ion batteries; Life cycle assessment; Cradle-to-gate; Natriumbatterier; Livscykelanalys; Vagga-till-port;

    Abstract : Because of the changing energy supply landscape, with the transition towards renewable energy, an emerging demand for energy storage systems (ESS) is expected in the near future. Battery energy storage is promising to contribute to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions, but face issues considering resource use (IEA, 2023; IRENA, 2022). READ MORE

  5. 44. Human Rights Violations and Machine Learning - Cluster Analysis of Countries using the CIRIGHTS Dataset

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Emilie Ståhle; Emilie Haubrich; [2023]
    Keywords : Human Rights Violation; Clustering; K-Means; Latent Class Analysis; Transition Matrix; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This master's thesis explores the use of unsupervised machine learning techniques to cluster countries based on their degree of human rights violations. Accordingly, the study evaluates the performance of two clustering methods, K-Means clustering and Latent Class Analysis (LCA), using two cluster validation metrics (Silhouette Coefficient and Dunn Index), as well as an Accuracy measure using the Human Rights index.
