  1. 1. Beyond the Big Five Factors: Using Facets and Nuances for Enhanced Prediction in Life Outcomes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Maiken Due Nielsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Personality traits; IPIP-NEO; facets; nuances; items; life outcomes; predictive validity; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Objective: Previous research using personality traits to predict life outcomes has typically utilized the Big Five factors and, occasionally, their facets. However, recent research suggests that using items (reflecting personality nuances) can account for greater predictive variance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Spatial Statistical Modelling of Insurance Claim Frequency

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Daniel Faller; [2022]
    Keywords : Insurance risk; claim frequency; Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC ; Riemann manifold Metropolis adjusted Langevin algorithm MMALA ; spatial statistics; Gaussian Markov random field GMRF ; preconditioned Crank Nicolson Langevin algorithm pCNL ; Gibbs sampling; Bayesian hierarchical modelling; high dimensional; shrinkage prior; horseshoe prior; regularisation.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : In this thesis a fully Bayesian hierarchical model that estimates the number of aggregated insurance claims per year for non-life insurances is constructed using Markov chain Monte Carlo based inference with Riemannian Langevin diffusion. Some versions of the model incorporate a spatial effect, viewed as the relative spatial insurance risk that originates from a policyholder's geographical location and where the relative spatial insurance risk is modelled as a continuous spatial field.

  4. 3. The Green Area Factor, Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity : An investigation of the preservation of urban biodiversity within the city of Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Alice Wikström; [2020]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Urban Areas; Ecosystem Services; Green Infrastructure; Biotope Area Factor; Urban Planning; Urban Biodiversity; Sustainable Environment; Development District; Green Area Factor; Stockholm; Sweden; Green Infrastructure; Sustainable Urban Planning; Sustainable Development;

    Abstract : Urbanization is increasing around the world and causes distress on the urban green areas as more and more people moves into cities. This leads to expansion and densification of the city and green areas within and around the cities run the risk of being exploited and fragmented. READ MORE

  5. 4. Experimental Tests of Pre - placed Aggregate Concrete for Concrete Repairs

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Husseen Hassan; Abdifatah Sahal; [2020]
    Keywords : Shrinkage; Compressive strength; Splitting tensile strength; Freeze-thaw; resistance; Pre-placed aggregate concrete; PREPAC; Slag; Krympning; Tryckhållfasthet; Spräckhållfasthet; Frostbeständighet; Injekteringsbetong; PREPAC; Slagg;

    Abstract : Since a large part of the hydropower structures in Sweden was built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of them are slowly but surely exhibiting deterioration. The hydropower companies are facing big challenges and are consequently investing in effective repairing methods since a hydropower structure failure could pose serious consequences and dangers to people, the environment, and the community.

  6. 5. Study of crack width within a suspended concrete slab with different amount of cement clinker considering lower climate impact

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sedige Feizi; Fateha Yasmin Khan; [2018]
    Keywords : concrete; lower climate impact; carbon dioxide emission; cement clinker; fly ash; laboratory test; slab; crack width; analytical calculation; FEM-design; betong; lägre klimatpåverkan; koldioxidutsläpp; exponering klass; cementklinker; flygaska; laboratorium; platta; sprickvidd; analytisk beräkning; FEM-design;

    Abstract : This master thesis investigates the possibility of using a concrete recipe with only 70 % cement clinker for a building project named Gretas Glänta, regarding the demands of cracking for a suspended slab. The requirement to fulfill was a maximum crack width of 0.2 mm due to drying shrinkage and long- term loading. READ MORE
