  1. 21. State Learning and Role Playing : International environmental cooperation in the Arctic Council

    Författare :Sandra Engstrand; Monica Tennberg; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Learning; international cooperation; role theory; arguing; symbolic interactionism; environmental norms; the Arctic Council; the Arctic; International relation IR ; International cooperation;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates state interaction as a social learning process, where the ultimate aim is to enhance an understanding on how states learn of environmental norms. An entry into the domain on such learning processes is offered through a Constructivist approach and more specifically through the employment of a role theoretical perspective; a role here is signified as a state's repertory of behavior and its social position within a group.

  2. 22. Participatory approaches to strengthening district health managers' capacity : Ugandan and global experiences

    Författare :Moses Tetui; Anna-Britt Coe; Anna-Karin Hurtig; Elizabeth-Ekirapa Kiracho; Suzanne N Kiwanuka; Bart Criel; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Participatory Action Research; Qualitative Research; Management; Health Managers; Systems Strengthening; Health Systems; Districts; Uganda; folkhälsa; Public health;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction:Residents of low in-come countries have persistently suffered poor health outcomes, modest progress made over time notwithstanding. Weak health systems are one of the key reasons for the less than optimum progress. These health systems are constrained by inadequately equipped managers who play a main role in curbing this progress. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Realistic Real-Time Rendering of Global Illumination and Hair through Machine Learning Precomputations

    Författare :Roc Ramon Currius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neural Networks; Real-time rendering; Lightfields; Realistic Rendering; Global Illumination; Hair Rendering; Machine Learning;

    Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, machine learning has gained a lot of traction in many areas, and with the advent of new GPU models that include acceleration hardware for neural network inference, real-time applications have also started to take advantage of these algorithms. In general, machine learning and neural network methods are not designed to run at the speeds that are required for rendering in high-performance real-time environments, except for very specific and typically limited uses.

  4. 24. The reinforcement learning method : A feasible and sustainable control strategy for efficient occupant-centred building operation in smart cities

    Författare :Ross May; Kenneth Carling; Mengjie Han; Pascal Rebreyend; Zoltan Nagy; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Markov decision processes; Reinforcement learning; Control; Building; Indoor comfort; Occupant; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Over half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a trend which is expected to only grow as we move further into the future. With this increasing trend in urbanisation, challenges are presented in the form of the management of urban infrastructure systems. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Challenges of learning and practicing motivational interviewing

    Författare :Lena Lindhe Söderlund; Per Nilsen; Preben Bendtsen; Lennart Nordenfelt; Boel Andersson-Gäre; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Children; counselling; health promotion; motivational interviewing; nurse; overweight; pharmacist; Social medicine; Socialmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The past three decades have seen a growth in health promotion research and practice, stimulated by the epidemiologic transition of the leading causes of death from infectious to chronic diseases. An estimated 50% of mortality from the 10 leading causes of death is due to behaviour, which suggests individuals can make important contributions to their own health by adopting some health-related behaviours and avoiding others.
