Scania is a region vulnerable to climate change and climate models project an increase in extreme precipitation events for this area. Pluvial flooding in urban areas is mostly associated with the large amount of impermeable surfaces and sewer system overload. In 2014 the County Administrative Board of Scania released a regional action plan for adaptation strategies and stormwater is described as a
Supply chain management (SCM) and packaging solutions are essential in the food industry due to their impact on the environment and economics, necessitating innovation. How to efficiently move goods through the supply chain therefore involves a complex network involving a great amount of stakeholders and processes. Food distribution logistics are particularly complex, requiring standard procedures
Purpose: The primary aim of the study is to investigate the influence of AI-driven personalized advertising on customer loyalty and brand engagement within the B2C market. The research will also examine how consumer perceptions of privacy and transparency in the use of AI impact these relationships. Theoretical perspective: The study’s literature review explores AI-driven personalized advertising
Mat är väsentligt för människan och är även en stor del av hennes kultur. Då mat är en så stor del av människans vardag så är det inte konstigt att det även förekommer i det innehåll hon publicerar på sociala medier som Instagram. Vi har myntat begreppet slampig matlagning som innefattar det matinnehåll på internet som likt food porn enbart ska konsumeras med ögonen. Till skillnad från food porn,
Höllviken is a part of Vellinge county located in the south west of Skåne with about 15 000 inhabitants. The town is expected to grow in the following years and a new residential area is being planned. Public transportation must be available and it has to reach the important destinations to make the area attractive for new residents. Today there is a local bus service, number 152, that runs in a l
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people continue to face discrimination and persecution in their daily lives, often from both the state and their communities. Where states do not provide for the basic human rights and physical security of their lesbian, gay, and bisexual citizens, many such citizens would flee their countries of origin in search of refuge in more hospitable countries. If other countries
A well-balanced exploration-exploitation trade-off is crucial for successful acquisition functions in Bayesian optimization. However, there is a lack of quantitative measures for exploration, making it difficult to analyze and compare different acquisition functions. This work introduces two novel approaches - observation traveling salesman distance and observation entropy - to quantify the explor
Bayesian optimization (BO ) is an effective method for optimizing expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions. While high-dimensional problems can be particularly challenging, due to the multitude of parameter choices and the potentially high number of data points required to fit the model, this limitation can be addressed if the problem satisfies simplifying assumptions. Axis-aligned subspace appro
Scholars have identified challenges to protecting individuals from discrimination in contexts where organisations deploy artificial intelligence decision-making processes. While scholarship on 'digital discrimination' is growing, scholars have paid less attention to the impact of the use of artificial intelligence decision-making processes on persons with disabilities. This article posits that whi
Many problems in computer vision can be formulated as geometric estimation problems, i.e. given a collection of measurements (e.g. point correspondences) we wish to fit a model (e.g. an essential matrix) that agrees with our observations. This necessitates some measure of how much an observation 'agrees' with a given model. A natural choice is to consider the smallest perturbation that makes the o
We summarize the theory and implementation of an open source solver for rotationally symmetric scatterers. The purpose of the code is to compute reference solutions for electrically large radome problems. The rotational symmetry decouples the azimuthal modes, enabling the three-dimensional problem to be broken down into a sequence of decoupled two-dimensional problems which require much less memor
Under 2023 tilldelades Emma Pihl Skoog, lektor i arkivvetenskap vid Södertörns högskola, och Ann-Sofie Klareld, lektor i arkivvetenskap vid Lunds universitet, ett stipendium från Stiftelsen Riksarkivarie Ingvar Anderssons fond. Syftet var blandannat att färdigställa en forskningsartikel om arkivariers arbetsuppgifter och de kompetenser som efterfrågas i samtida platsannonser på Arbetsförmedlingens
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing (RS) technology is an ideal tool to map flooded areas on account of its all-time, all-weather imaging capability. Existing SAR data-based change detection approaches lack well-discriminant change indices for reliable floodwater mapping. To resolve this issue, an unsupervised change detection approach, made up of two main steps, is proposed for detectin
Currently, most research and public datasets for video sports analytics are base on detecting players as bounding boxes in broadcast videos. Going from there to precise locations on the pitch is however hard. Modern solutions are making dedicated static cameras covering the entire pitch more readily accessible, and they are now used more and more even in lower tiers. To promote research that can t
In this chapter, the author examines the European Union’s (EU) strategic choices and challenges in confronting the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, and how these crises influence the EU’s ability to achieve its sustainability ambitions. The purpose is to analyse the coherence and effectiveness of EU climate and biodiversity policies, with a particular focus on the European Gree
The literature on diversity has grown rapidly in the last decade. Research from different areas has suggested that diversity is a critical factor in creativity, knowledge generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the level of organizations, cities, regions, and whole countries. This chapter introduces the topic of diversity and discusses its role for creativity, knowledge production, innovat
Background: Low-cost particulate matter sensors have enabled new opportunities for exposure monitoring but require evaluation before application in epidemiological studies. This study assessed the performance of the SPS30 sensor integrated into the ARMIE portable monitoring sensor-node under controlled laboratory conditions. Methods: Sensors were co-located with two comparison instruments—the opti
