  1. 1. BALLOT STRUCTURE, DISTRICT MAGNITUDE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY STRINGENCY. A Quantitative Study of OECD Countries

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Thi Thu Le; [2024-01-18]
    Keywords : ballot structure; open-list proportional representation; environmental policy; personal vote; district magnitude;

    Abstract : The role of the electoral rules, and the ballot structure more specifically, in determining environmental policy outcomes has received minimal attention in the literature. This paper contributes to this gap by analyzing the environmental policy consequences in proportional representation (PR) systems with different ballot designs. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optical Communication using Nanowires and Molecular Memory Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik

    Author : Thomas Kjellberg Jensen; [2024]
    Keywords : neuromorphic computing; nanowire; molecular dye; DASA photoswitch; OBIC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is strongly motivated as the reliance on AI-models increases.

  4. 3. Multicriteria Evaluation in Real Estate Land-use Suitability Analysis: The case of Volos, Greece

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Panagiotis Dimitrios Tsachageas; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Real Estate; Multicriteria Evaluation; Fuzzy; AHP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. READ MORE

  5. 4. Crimes of Obedience: Well-meaning auditors in dysfunctional systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Abhijith Balakrishnan; [2024]
    Keywords : ISM Code; Audits; Maritime; Safety; Safety Management; Safety Management Skills; Human Factors; Seafarer; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The ISM Code requires companies to establish a safety management system and verify its effectiveness through internal safety audits done by internal auditors. The Code is replete with words that are open to interpretation. The ISM code conveys what its objectives are and what it intends to achieve by the language in the code. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mutual Enhancement of Environment Recognition and Semantic Segmentation in Indoor Environment

    University essay from

    Author : Venkata Vamsi Challa; [2024]
    Keywords : Semantic Segmentation; Scene Classification; Environment Recognition; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Image Classification; Vision Transformers; SAM Segment Anything Model ; Image Segmentation; Contour-aware semantic segmentation;

    Abstract : Background:The dynamic field of computer vision and artificial intelligence has continually evolved, pushing the boundaries in areas like semantic segmentation andenvironmental recognition, pivotal for indoor scene analysis. This research investigates the integration of these two technologies, examining their synergy and implicayions for enhancing indoor scene understanding. READ MORE
