    Sammanfattning : Preferences for Improved Electricity Services in Developing Countries: Household’s Defensive Behavior and Willingness to Pay Access to electricity has received much attention but its reliability has been given less focus. Thus, uninterrupted power supply remains a critical challenge facing households in low-income developing countries. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Towards Automatically Correcting Robot Behavior Using Non-Expert Feedback

    Författare :Sanne van Waveren; Iolanda Leite; Hadas Kress-Gazit; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Non-expert robot correction; robot failure; human-robot interaction; robotics; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Robots that operate in human environments need the capability to adapt their behavior to new situations. Most robots so far rely on pre-programmed behavior or machine learning algorithms trained offline with selected data. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Paper [I] theoretically analyzes how the level and uncertainty of future prospects affect incentives to abstain from sexual risk taking in the presence of HIV. The results suggest that, for individuals with limited access to HIV treatment, uncertainty of future health may be an important factor driving unsafe sex practices and support the empirical finding of a weak link between sexual behavior, HIV prevalence, and HIV knowledge in poor countries; therefore suggesting that AIDS policy needs to be calibrated in order to fit within different social contexts.

    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; performance measures; municipal; design; use; intended; assigned; cybernetic; Management of enterprises; institutional.; formal control systems; Företagsledning; management;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study is to develop a frame of reference within which formal control system performance measures can be described and their design and use can be analyzed for control systems in municipalities. From a cybernetic control approach measures are used as instruments to plan and gain feedback from employee actions, and adjust them to the internal and external environment of which they are a part.
