  1. 1. ”There is a need for people who can provide a transition”: A case study of how educational activities empower actors to engage in a local transition of the waste system on Bornholm, Denmark

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Författare :Kathrine Gjesing Hansen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :socio-institutional transitions; Denmark; power; education; municipal waste management; Sustainability Science; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Sustainable waste management is a complex task within environmental governance, and municipalities play a key role in governing a transition of the waste system toward prevention and reuse. This calls for an enhanced understanding of local capacities for change, and therefore this thesis adopts a socio-institutional perspective on the power of actors to influence local transitions.

  4. 3. Imagining and Enacting Desirable Futures : A Study of French Eco-Communities

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

    Författare :Hélène Clouet; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Eco-communities; imaginaries; transformative change; local change; desirable futures; Écolieux;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis departs from the assumption that the current socio-ecological crises require new and alternative imaginaries as well as lifestyle changes. Following a qualitative research method, seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with eco-community members and analysed thematically to determine their motivations, values and beliefs, and search for a potential common imaginary.

  7. 5. Uncontrolled intersection coordination of the autonomous vehicle based on multi-agent reinforcement learning.

    Master-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Författare :Isaac Arnold McSey; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Autonomous Vehicles AVs ; Road Safety; Fuel Efficiency; Business Dynamics; Intersections; Human-Driven Vehicles HDVs ; Pedestrians; Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning MARL ; Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient MADDPG ; Algorithmic Interactions; Uncontrolled Intersections; Global Insights; Safety Improvements; Comfort Improvements; Learning Process; Global Experiences; Complex Environments; Passenger Comfort; Navigation;

    Sammanfattning : This study explores the application of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to enhance the decision-making, safety, and passenger comfort of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)at uncontrolled intersections. The research aims to assess the potential of MARL in modeling multiple agents interacting within a shared environment, reflecting real-world situations where AVs interact with multiple actors. LÄS MER
