This thesis explores the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize residential energy usage in a system composed of photovoltaic (PV) panels, a battery, an electric vehicle (EV), household consumption, and the electricity grid. A Deep Q-Network (DQN) agent was developed to minimize the electricity bill by optimizing battery usage and EV charging using real residential data supplied by Siemens
β Pictoris is a nearby, young planetary system hosting an edge-on oriented dust disk. It is not only the system where the first exocomets were discovered, but also the most studied exocomet system. Decades of observations since the first exocomet discovery in the 1980’s have shown spectroscopic transits of evaporating exocomets at close orbital distances to the host star. Although many observation
Denna uppsats undersöker studenters uppfattningar om singelliv, romantiska relationer och framtidsplaner i ett senmodernt och individualiserat samhälle. Syftet är att analysera hur unga studenter navigerar och förhandlar spänningen mellan trygghet och frihet i relation till singelliv och kärleksrelationer. Studien bygger på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio studenter inom samhällsve
This study explores how organizational culture, organizational learning, and leadership enable neuroinclusive practices in large Swedish high-technical multinational organizations. Despite growing interest in neurodiversity in recent years, limited research has examined how neuroinclusive practices develop and become integrated within organizations. The study draws on theories of organizational cu
Bakgrund: Barn i livets slutskede och deras familjer har olika och individuella behov. Vid vård av barn i livets slutskede är det därför viktigt med personcentrerad vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att vårda barn i livets slutskede. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes där åtta kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar sammanställdes genom
The present study explores the relevance of the geographical distribution of patenting activity in the context of gender equality in innovation. The present thesis constitutes an extensive investigation, incorporating novel data of a considerably broader scope than before. This study endeavours to ascertain the significance of country-specific variables in elucidating female participation in paten
This thesis examines the extent to which armed conflict contributed to the deterioration of vegetation and productive land-use conditions across Syrian governorates between 2001 and 2025, and how this relationship varied with rainfall and conflict actor composition. Using a governorate-year panel combining MODIS vegetation indices (EVI and NDVI), CHIRPS rainfall data, and UCDP georeferenced confli
This Master thesis investigates ZZ and ZZZ couplings in a system of three superconducting transmon qubits. Such couplings represent energy shifts arising from qubit-qubit interactions, and they are important for the performance of quantum computers. Adopting an analytical method based on the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, we extend it with new insight and compute energy corrections associated wi
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur CSRD:s tvingande regulatoriska krav påverkar implementeringen av direktivet inom inrednings- respektive byggbranschen. Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkar CSRD:s tvingade tryck företagens implementering och interna hållbarhetsarbete i inrednings- och byggbranschen? Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien tillämpar institutionell teori med fokus på tvingande, mimet
During the second half of the 1960s, emotions and the emotional individual became more frequently discussed in Swedish newspaper and journal articles. Drawing upon articles by psychologist Claes Janssen and journalist Bernt Eklundh published from 1965 to 1968 in Ord och Bild, Göteborgs-Tidningen and Göteborgs-Posten, this thesis aims to explore this tendency. By employing a theoretical framework f
During 2019–2021 the ruins of the medieval church in Edsleskog, Dalsland were excavated. Upon unearthing the church, it was concluded that it was most likely the oldest known brick building in Sweden. The church was also huge and shared many architectural similarities with contemporary cathedrals. The small hamlet of Edsleskog is located in the northern forests of Dalsland, a region that histo
The objective of the research is to investigate how Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, uses its Guidebook for Children in Return to reconcile the violence of deportation and Frontex human rights violations with a humanitarian self-image. Through an intersectional lens, the analysis focuses on how race and gender are represented and how this representation contributes to sustainin
Youth dropouts in organized sports present a significant challenge across different athletic disciplines worldwide. This thesis aims to uncover the driving factors behind this phenomenon in a specific setting - among youth orienteers in Sweden - using large-scale data analysis and statistical learning. The dataset used in this study consists of historical competition results spanning the years 201
The familiar unknown : Swedish travelers' curiosity and the making of knowledge about Edo-period Japan, 1647 - 1793. Due to the isolationist policies of the Tokugawa shogunate that came into place in the 1630s, European travel writings on Japan became more limited and scarcer resulting in an overall lesser understanding of the nation. The purpose of this essay is therefore to showcase how Swed
I detta examensarbete har jag arbetat fram metoder för att kunna öva så effektivt som möjligt med den tiden jag har i ett övningsrum. Jag valde detta ämne för att få en bättre förhållning till min övnings-/ dagsrutin och genom det ett mer hållbart liv som framtida musiker. Syftet är att kunna öva de timmarna jag behöver få gjort under skoldagen men ändå ha tid över för träning, annat kreativt skapIn this bachelor's thesis I have set out to find methods of practising as efficiently as possible with the time I have in the music practice room. I chose this subject in order to have a better approach to my daily practising routine and a more sustainable life as a future musician. The purpose is to be able to practise the hours I need during the school day and yet have enough time for physic
Introduction: Peptide therapeutics are becoming increasingly important across multiple disease areas, bringing increased structural diversity and a broader range of physicochemical properties. This diversity, together with more complex synthetic- and product-related impurities, raises the bar for liquid chromatography methods that should be efficient and sustainable. Reversed-phase liquid chromato
This study examines how the human capital of former professional athletes impacts their entrepreneurial decision-making during the venture creation process. Using Human Capital Theory and the literature on entrepreneurial decision-making, this study explores how the dispositions, knowledge, and networks accumulated through an athletic career shape the reasoning logics through which former athletes
Liquid pouring is a critical, high-precision task in laboratory automation and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Existing imitation learning methods struggle with the high demands for accuracy and robustness in contact-rich pouring tasks. This thesis presents an extension of the diffusion policy framework by integrating force feedback for a dual-arm robot pouring approach. Unlike traditional methods,
Southern Scandinavian and Scanian settlement archaeology has in the past four decades been able to highlight overarching shifts in prehistoric and especially Iron Age settlement organisation, and thus developed methods of rigorous typo-chronological analyses. Within the past two decades several publications by Late Iron Age scholars have under the influence of household archaeology emphasised the
Food consumption is one of the largest contributors to household environmental impacts and plays a central role in climate change, resource use, and biodiversity loss. Although many consumers express positive attitudes toward sustainable consumption, previous research shows that purchasing decisions are often driven by price, habits, and convenience rather than environmental concerns. This study t
