  1. 26. There are “two kinds of international organisations”: A case study of La Vía Campesina’s reaction to the WTO and the FAO opening up

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Sofie Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : La Vía Campesina; social movements; perception; international organisations; opening up; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : A prominent movement for change of the current food system is Vía Campesina, a peasants’ movement advocating that food policy should incorporate perspectives from the most affected. Since the 1990s, international organisations (IOs) have opened up to non-state actors, allowing movements like Vía Campesina to occupy spaces ‘inside’ organisations instead of opposing from the ‘outside’.

  3. 27. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

    Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
    Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

    Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.

  4. 28. Register Caching for Energy Efficient GPGPU Tensor Core Computing

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

    Author : Qiran Qian; [2023]
    Keywords : Computer Architecture; GPGPU; Tensor Core; GEMM; Energy Efficiency; Register File; Cache; Instruction Scheduling; Datorarkitektur; GPGPU; Tensor Core; GEMM; energieffektivitet; registerfil; cache; instruktionsschemaläggning;

    Abstract : The General-Purpose GPU (GPGPU) has emerged as the predominant computing device for extensive parallel workloads in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Scientific Computing, primarily owing to its adoption of the Single Instruction Multiple Thread architecture, which not only provides a wealth of thread context but also effectively hide the latencies exposed in the single threads executions. As computational demands have evolved, modern GPGPUs have incorporated specialized matrix engines, e. READ MORE

  5. 29. Usability of Sentinel-1 C-band VV and VH SAR data for the detection of flooded oil palm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Sarah Lee Sienaert; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Sentinel-1; SAR; C-band; VV; VH; Oil Palm; Flood; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. READ MORE

  6. 30. To a Gender Equal Policy Plan and Beyond - Breaking the binary in gender policy making

    Keywords : Non-binary; Gender equality; Policy making; International organisations; Recommendations;

    Abstract : The main aim of this pilot research is to write a set of recommendations aimed at guiding international organisations in making gender equality policy plans following a gender non-binary perspective. The definitions of gender equality used by most organisations and governments - in the past few decades - do not encompass a whole range of people, who take part in society, but are not represented nor protected by reforms and policies.
