1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Kimon Letzner; [2024]
   Keywords : Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

3. 2. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

4. 3. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Ilia Iarkov; [2023]
   Keywords : Low-temperature district heating; Modelica; BTES; LCA; LCC; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE

5. 4. On The Evaluation of District Heating Load Predictions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Herman Hansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : District Heating is a technology with the potential to enable a fossil-free society. However, to realize this potential, some improvements need to be made in order to improve District Heating operation at large, decrease losses in the systems, and thus increase the competitiveness of District Heating as a technology.

6. 5. EMONAS : Evolutionary Multi-objective Neuron Architecture Search of Deep Neural Network

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

   Author : Jiayi Feng; [2023]
   Keywords : DNN Deep Neural Network ; NAS Neural Architecture Search ; EA Evolutionary Algorithm ; Multi-Objective Optimization; Binary One Optimization; Embedded Systems; DNN Deep Neural Network ; NAS Neural Architecture Search ; EA Evolutionary Algorithm ; Multi-Objective Optimization; Binary One Optimization; Inbyggda system;

   Abstract : Customized Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerators have been increasingly popular in various applications, from autonomous driving and natural language processing to healthcare and finance, etc. However, deploying them directly on embedded system peripherals within real-time operating systems (RTOS) is not easy due to the paradox of the complexity of DNNs and the simplicity of embedded system devices.
