  1. 1. Recreating the aesthetic experience of Orwell’s book nineteen eighty four as a Tabletop roleplaying rule set : A systemic perspective on rules as the aesthetic space in Oceania 2084

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för speldesign

    Författare :Johan Eriksson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :tabletop roleplaying games; abstraction; game design; design process; semiotics; iterative design; aesthetics; symbols;

    Sammanfattning : By examining the results of an iterative design process, specifically a tabletop roleplaying game, Oceania 2084, this thesis aims to formulate a generalizable design process applicable when translating a work of fiction into a ruleset. The object that was translated into a ruleset was the book Nineteen Eighty-Four written by George Orwell in 1949. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Unearthing the social-ecological cascades of the fall armyworm invasion: A computer-assisted text analysis of digital news articles

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

    Författare :Kathryn Bjorklund; [2023]
    Nyckelord :emerging pests and pathogens; social-ecological cascades; fall armyworm; Spodoptera frugiperda; structural topic modeling;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the complex nature of social-ecological cascades, or chain reactions of events that lead to widespread change in a system, is crucial for navigating the challenges they present. Emerging pests and pathogens, such as the fall armyworm, provide an opportunity to study these cascades in greater detail. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Factor Models for Futures Contracts to Improve Estimation of the Correlation Matrix

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Ellen Ek; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Correlation matrix; Hierarchical Principal Component Analysis; Factor Model; Clusters; Portfolio Optimization; Futures Contracts; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : In this paper regularization of the correlation matrix between futures contracts is examined. With starting point in the recently established HPCA framework (Avellaneda, 2019), a couple of different extensions to the one-factor model is suggested. Extensions are made in terms of adjusting the model according to different cluster structures. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diversification of predators in multi-trophic communities: A trait-based theoretical approach

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Författare :Julio Antonio Ayala Lopez; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. LÄS MER
