    Författare :Philip Olhager; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to design controllers for safety critical systems is an important research area. On the one hand, RL can function in and adapt to complex and changing environments without requiring a model of the system. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Applicability of simulation analysis for planning agri-food supply chains : A case study at a Swedish farmer-owned cooperative

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Författare :Marcus Ahlqvist; [2021]
    Nyckelord :agri-food supply chain; simulation; applicability; planning; system analysis; strategic; tactical; operational;

    Sammanfattning : Agri-food supply chains (ASCs) are becoming increasingly complex, and its actors are in need of sophisticated planning tools to remain competitive in an industry that have been moving away from small individual actors towards large multi-national, highly vertically integrated cooperatives. This case study views reality from an objectivist point of view and utilises a positivist approach to study this reality. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Extraction for the Green Transition: An Eco-Marxist actor analysis of lithium governance in Bolivia

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Julian Dannefjord; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Bolivia; lithium; extractivism; climate change; energy transition; actor analysis; Eco-Marxism; John Bellamy Foster; metabolic rift; ecological imperialism; Law and Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Att föreställa sig världen En jämförande studie mellan två världslitteraturteorier

    Sammanfattning : This thesis takes interest in a theoretical turn in world literature studies; from a focus on extratextual aspects, such as the global circulation of literary works, to intratextual aspects, such as literary works’ world-reflecting and world-creating abilites. I analyze two recent theories within this turn: the Warwick Research Collective’s Combined and Uneven Development and the postcolonial researcher Pheng Cheah’s What is a World?. LÄS MER
