  1. 6. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

  2. 7. Between climate justice and climate finance

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Cornelia Fjelstrenius; [2024]
    Keywords : Loss and Damage; Alliance of Small Island States AOSIS ; European Union EU ; Discourse analysis; Climate change; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : The conceptualization of loss and damage reflects diverse perspectives, evident in the disparities observed in climate negotiations. This thesis examines how the Alliance of Small Island States and the European Union portrayed loss and damage during the establishment of the loss and damage fund. READ MORE

  3. 8. Measuring the Utility of Synthetic Data : An Empirical Evaluation of Population Fidelity Measures as Indicators of Synthetic Data Utility in Classification Tasks

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Alexander Florean; [2024]
    Keywords : Synthetic Data; Machine Learning; Population Fidelity Measures; Utility Metrics; Synthetic Data Quality Evaluation; Classification Algorithms; Utility Estimation; Data Privacy; Artificial Intelligence; Experiment Framework; Model Performance Assessment; Syntetisk Data; Maskininlärning; Population Fidelity Mätvärden; Användbarhetsmätvärden; Kvalitetsutvärdering av Syntetisk Data; Klassificeringsalgoritmer; Användbarhetsutvärdering; Dataintegritet; Artificiell Intelligens; AI; Experiment Ramverk; Utvärdering av Modellprestanda;

    Abstract : In the era of data-driven decision-making and innovation, synthetic data serves as a promising tool that bridges the need for vast datasets in machine learning (ML) and the imperative necessity of data privacy. By simulating real-world data while preserving privacy, synthetic data generators have become more prevalent instruments in AI and ML development. READ MORE

  4. 9. The Role of Uni- and Multivariate Bias Adjustment Methods for Future Hydrological Projections and Subsequent Decision-Making

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Merle Liebenehm-Axmann; [2024]
    Keywords : Bias adjustment methods; future hydrological climate projections; statistical analysis; future streamflow analysis; biasjusteringsmetoder; framtida hydrologiska projektioner; statistisk analys; framtida vattenförings analys;

    Abstract : Climate models are essential for generating future climate projections. However, due to simplifications, the models can produce systematic differences between output and reality, which is referred to as model bias. Bias adjustment methods aim to reduce this error, which is important for making future projections more reliable. READ MORE
