För ett mer hållbart samhälle står världen inför stora utmaningar vad det gäller miljön i form av effektivisering av energiförbrukning. Byggsektorn stod för 30 % av Sveriges totala energiförbrukning år 2014. Därför har regering en vision att minska energiförbrukningen med 50 % fram till år 2050. Enligt Boverket byggdes 1 005 578 bostäder mellan 1965-1974 vilket senare kallades för ”miljonprogrammet”. Idag är många av dessa byggnader i dåligt skick och uppfyller inte dagens energikrav eller livsstil, därför är de i stort behov av ombyggnation eller omfattande renoveringslösningar. Flerbostadshuset som undersöks i Sundsgatan 10 i Säffle kommun är ett sådant flerbostadshus från miljonprogrammet som har en hög energiförbrukning. Målet var att finna och jämföra energieffektiva renoveringsåtgärder för flerbostadshuset. Resultat av liknande projekt har studerats för att undersöka renoveringsmöjligheter och begränsningar. Beräkningar har utförts med hjälp av olika datorprogram och SundaHus databas. VIP-Energy har använts vid beräkning av energi för flerbostadshuset. Priset för åtgärdsmaterial hämtades från nätet samt utförda kalkyler har upprättats med BidCon. SundaHus användes för att finna renoveringsmaterial som är anpassat för miljö och hälsa. Resultat redovisas i form av tre renoveringspaket: Renoveringspaket 1 innefattar: en energieffektiv renovering där specifik energiförbrukning blev cirka 32 kWh/m2 och kostade 5,7 miljoner kr. Renoveringspaket 2 innefattar: en ekonomisk renovering som klarar av BBR-kravet för flerbostadshus. Specifik energiförbrukning blev cirka 99 kWh/m2 och kostade 1,5 Mkr. Renoveringspaket 3 innefattar: en kombination av både ekonomisk och energieffektiv renovering där specifik energiförbrukning blev cirka 68 kWh/m2 och kostade 2,1 Mkr. / For a more sustainable society to be attained, the world is faced with major setbacks ranging from environmental factors to the efficiency of energy consumption.  The construction sector accounted for over 30 % of Sweden's total energy consumption in 2014. Consequently, the government developed a vision to reduce energy consumption by 50 % by 2050. According to the Boverket, 1,005,578 residential units were built between 1965-1974, and subsequently called for the million program project. Today, many of these buildings are in poor condition and do not meet today's energy requirements or lifestyle which has led to the need for rebuilding or providing extensive renovation solutions. The multi-family house is located in Sundsgatan 10 in Säffle county, is from the million program that has a high energy consumption. The goal was to find and compare energy-efficient renovation measures for the multi-family house. Results of similar projects have been studied to investigate renovations and limitations. Various analyses have been performed using computer programs and SundaHus database. VIP-Energy has been used to calculate for energy extraction for the multi-family house. Also, the price for action material was retrieved from the network and execution calculations have been made with BidCon. Furthermore, SundaHus was used to find renovation materials adapted to the environment and health. Results were presented in the form of three renovation packages: Performance package 1 introduces energy-efficient renovation where the specific energy consumption was approximately 32 kWh/m2 and cost 5,7 MSEK. Performance Package 2 introduces an economic renovation that meets the BBR requirement for multi-family houses. Specific energy consumption was approximately 99 kWh/m2 and cost 1,5 MSEK. Performance Package 3 incorporates a combination of both economic and energy efficient refurbishment where the specific energy consumption was approximately 68 kWh/m2 and cost 2,1 MSEK.

Atualmente é bem conhecido que o uso de dispositivos passivos de dissipação de energia, tais como amortecedores por atrito, reduzem consideravelmente a resposta dinâmica de estruturas. Entretanto, os melhores parâmetros de cada amortecedor e também a melhor posição para instalá-los dentro da estrutura permanecem difíceis de serem estabelecidas. Assim, a otimização de amortecedores é uma área que vem sendo estudada de forma crescente nos últimos anos, tendo grande impacto no projeto ótimo de dispositivos para o controle de vibrações de estruturas, possibilitando obter soluções seguras e ao mesmo tempo econômicas. Contudo, apesar dos amortecedores de vibração por atrito possuírem algumas vantagens em relação a outros dispositivos passivos, poucos trabalhos são encontrados sobre a otimização de seus parâmetros ou sobre a sua melhor posição dentro de uma estrutura, devido à maior dificuldade de se calcular sistemas que envolvem atrito, por este ser não-linear. Entretanto, é interessante se levar em conta as incertezas presentes nas propriedades estruturais e/ou na excitação dinâmica no processo de otimização, o que leva a um problema de otimização sob incerteza, como otimização robusta e otimização baseada em confiabilidade. Assim, nesta Tese é proposta uma metodologia para a otimização simultânea dos parâmetros e das posições de amortecedores de vibração por atrito a serem instalados em edifícios submetidos à excitação sísmica levando em conta as incertezas presentes tanto nas propriedades estruturais quanto no carregamento sísmico, assim como nas forças de atrito dos amortecedores. A fim de ilustrar a metodologia, dois exemplos de aplicação são apresentados, sendo o primeiro sobre otimização robusta e o segundo sobre otimização baseada em confiabilidade. Os resultados mostraram, em ambos os exemplos, que o método proposto obteve sucesso, melhorando consideravelmente o comportamento dinâmico dos edifícios estudados, mesmo para um número limitado de dispositivos instalados. Portanto, acredita-se que a metodologia de otimização desenvolvida constitui uma ferramenta eficaz para o projeto ótimo de amortecedores por atrito. / Nowadays it is well known that the use of passive energy dissipation devices, such as friction dampers, considerably reduces the dynamic response of structures. However, the best parameters of each damper and also the best position to install them within the structure remain difficult to be determined. Thus, optimization of dampers is an area that has been increasingly studied in recent years, having a big impact in the optimal design of devices for the vibration control of structures, allowing to obtain safe and at the same time economic solutions. However, although friction dampers have some advantages over other passive devices, few contributions are found on optimization of their parameters or on their optimal position within a structure. This fact can be explained due to the greater difficulty in determining the response of systems involving friction, because their nonlinear behavior. In addition to the lack of studies on optimization of friction dampers, the few studies found in the literature consider the problem in a deterministic way. However, the uncertainties present in the structural properties and/or in the dynamic excitation can alter the optimal solution. Thus, it is important to take into account these uncertainties in the optimization process, which leads to an optimization problem under uncertainty, such as robust optimization and reliability-based optimization. Thus, in this Thesis, a methodology is proposed for the simultaneous optimization of parameters and positions of friction dampers to be installed in buildings subjected to seismic excitation taking into account uncertainties present in both the structural properties and the seismic load, as well as in the friction forces of the dampers. In order to illustrate the approach, two examples are presented, the first one on robust optimization and the second on reliabilitybased optimization. The results show, in both examples, that the proposed method considerably improves the dynamic behavior of the studied buildings, even for a limited number of installed devices. Therefore, it was shown that the proposed procedure is an effective tool for the optimum design of friction dampers.

Este estudo trata dos processos de subjetivação de três grupos diversos de formandos de Psicologia, partindo da constatação de que o neoliberalismo vem fazendo com que haja um aumento da vulnerabilidade social, a partir do conceito de Castel, para indivíduos com terceiro grau completo, no que se incluem, evidentemente, os egressos dos cursos de Psicologia. Neste contexto acontece a emergência de um tipo de sujeito que sofre pela distância entre o ideal profissional (projeto identificatório) construído a partir de condições que não são mais vigentes e a realidade do mercado de trabalho que a eles se oferece e cuja dor se mostra diferente conforme a inserção social do estudante e as ênfases dadas nos diferentes cursos. Fundamentado metodologicamente na abordagem biográfica segundo os aportes de Cabanes e Bertaux, no aspecto teórico a discussão procura estabelecer o diálogo interdisciplinar a partir de conceitos oriundos da psicanálise, em sua vertente crítica, e do pensamento de Michel Foucault e de Robert Castel. O desenvolvimento do trabalho ocorre, portanto, dentro de uma permanente tensão epistemológica pelo esforço da criar um distanciamento crítico da filosofia do sujeito (recentrado após Freud e seu inconsciente, pela leitura de grupos hegemônicos de psicanalistas), através de uma ótica (des)disciplinarizada encontrada na abordagem foucaultiana , expressa na Arqueologia do saber e na noção de processos de subjetivação. Na discussão enfatiza-se a manutenção do ideal da clínica visto como um lugar de prestígio, apesar da ocorrência de trabalho aviltado neste terreno, assim como se ressalta a força individualizante do dispositivo “psi”. Este se apresenta como heterogêneo, a partir de seu acoplamento com determinados aspectos da formação acadêmica (dispositivo de pesquisa, dispositivo de clínica), com tratamentos psicoterápicos e analíticos e, principalmente, com a inserção social (dispositivo de ascensão social ou de manutenção do status quo) dos estudantes. / Understanding that Neoliberalism caused an increase in the social vulnerability of undergraduates, including the ones who have a Psychology’s degree, this study discusses the subjectification processes of three different groups of senior Psychology students. In this context, a sort of “suffering subject” emerges, produced by the distance between the “professional ideal” (identity project) built in conditions that no longer exist, and the reality of the labor market that they have to face. This “suffering subject” is the site of an affliction that seems to differ according to the student’s social insertion and to the psychological knowledge emphasized by their undergraduate formation. The interviews were based upon a biographical approach (R. Cabanes and D. Bertaux) and the theoretical frame searches to establish a dialogue between Psychoanalysis and the thought of Michel Foucault and Robert Castel. The development of this work was subject to constant epistemological tension caused by the effort to create critical distance from the subject’s philosophy and to establish a point of view free of disciplinary constrains, with the help of Foucault’s Archeology of knowledge and his concept of subjectification process. In the discussion we point out the excessively valued ideal of the private clinical practice (despite its gradual loss of ground) as well as the individualizing power of the psychological theoretical framing devices (dispositif in french). Being heterogeneous, this “framing” takes different forms according to the coupling determined by aspects related to the academic trajectory (research framing devices, private practice framing devices), psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytical treatments and, most of all, the social insertion of students (social rising or status quo maintenance possibilities related to a psychology degree).

abstract: The attractiveness of a reward depends in part on the delay to its receipt, with more distant rewards generally being valued less than more proximate ones. The rate at which people discount the value of delayed rewards has been associated with a variety of clinically and socially relevant human behaviors. Thus, the accurate measurement of delay discounting rates is crucial to the study of mechanisms underlying behaviors such as risky sex, addiction, and gambling. In delay discounting tasks, participants make choices between two alternatives: one small amount of money delivered immediately versus a large amount of money delivered after a delay. After many choices, the experimental task will converge on an indifference point: the value of the delayed reward that approximates the value of the immediate one. It has been shown that these indifference points are systematically biased by the direction in which one of the alternatives adjusts. This bias is termed a sequencing effect. The present research proposed a reference-dependent model of choice drawn from Prospect Theory to account for the presence of sequencing effects in a delay discounting task. Sensitivity to reference frames and sequencing effects were measured in two computer tasks. Bayesian and frequentist analyses indicated that the reference-dependent model of choice cannot account for sequencing effects. Thus, an alternative, perceptual account of sequencing effects that draws on a Bayesian framework of magnitude estimation is proposed and furnished with some preliminary evidence. Implications for future research in the measurement of delay discounting and sensitivity to reference frames are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Psychology 2018

abstract: Image Understanding is a long-established discipline in computer vision, which encompasses a body of advanced image processing techniques, that are used to locate (“where”), characterize and recognize (“what”) objects, regions, and their attributes in the image. However, the notion of “understanding” (and the goal of artificial intelligent machines) goes beyond factual recall of the recognized components and includes reasoning and thinking beyond what can be seen (or perceived). Understanding is often evaluated by asking questions of increasing difficulty. Thus, the expected functionalities of an intelligent Image Understanding system can be expressed in terms of the functionalities that are required to answer questions about an image. Answering questions about images require primarily three components: Image Understanding, question (natural language) understanding, and reasoning based on knowledge. Any question, asking beyond what can be directly seen, requires modeling of commonsense (or background/ontological/factual) knowledge and reasoning. Knowledge and reasoning have seen scarce use in image understanding applications. In this thesis, we demonstrate the utilities of incorporating background knowledge and using explicit reasoning in image understanding applications. We first present a comprehensive survey of the previous work that utilized background knowledge and reasoning in understanding images. This survey outlines the limited use of commonsense knowledge in high-level applications. We then present a set of vision and reasoning-based methods to solve several applications and show that these approaches benefit in terms of accuracy and interpretability from the explicit use of knowledge and reasoning. We propose novel knowledge representations of image, knowledge acquisition methods, and a new implementation of an efficient probabilistic logical reasoning engine that can utilize publicly available commonsense knowledge to solve applications such as visual question answering, image puzzles. Additionally, we identify the need for new datasets that explicitly require external commonsense knowledge to solve. We propose the new task of Image Riddles, which requires a combination of vision, and reasoning based on ontological knowledge; and we collect a sufficiently large dataset to serve as an ideal testbed for vision and reasoning research. Lastly, we propose end-to-end deep architectures that can combine vision, knowledge and reasoning modules together and achieve large performance boosts over state-of-the-art methods. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Computer Science 2018

Studien undersökte samvarians mellan juriststudenters attityder till isolering under häktningstiden ur ett brottsutredande perspektiv, ur ett integritetskränkande perspektiv och den kritik som riktats mot det svenska rättssystemet. Det undersöktes även om dessa attityder skiljde sig åt mellan män och kvinnor. En enkät besvarades av 244 juriststudenter från fyra lärosäten i Sverige (106 män och 138 kvinnor, M = 23,6 år, SD = 3,0). Resultaten visade ett negativt starkt samband vilket indikerar att perspektiven står i kontrast till varandra. Perspektiven samvarierade även med kritiken, där de som uppvisade en mer accepterande attityd till isolering ur ett brottsutredande perspektiv var mindre benägna att hålla med om kritiken. De som istället uppvisade en mindre accepterande attityd till isolering ur ett integritetskränkande perspektiv var mer benägna att hålla med om kritiken. Samtliga samband var starkare för männen, dock var skillnaden i styrka på samband för män och kvinnor mellan de båda perspektiven inte signifikant. Det identifierades signifikanta könsskillnader då män uppvisade en mer accepterande attityd till isolering ur ett brottsutredande perspektiv samt i lägre utsträckning höll med om kritiken. Kvinnor uppvisade istället en mindre accepterande attityd till isolering ur ett integritetskränkande perspektiv och höll i högre utsträckning med om kritiken. / The study examined the association between law students’ attitudes towards solitary confinement in remand prisons from a criminal investigation perspective, a violation of integrity perspective and the criticism directed against the Swedish Criminal Justice System. Differences in these attitudes between men and women were also examined. A questionnaire was answered by 244 law students from four Swedish universities (106 males and 138 females, M = 23,6 years, SD = 3,0). The results showed a negative strong correlation indicating a contrast between the perspectives. The perspectives also correlated with the criticism, where those displaying a more favourable attitude from a criminal investigation perspective tended to disagree with the criticism. Those displaying a less favourable attitude from a violation of integrity perspective tended to agree with the criticism. All correlations were stronger for males. However, the difference in strength of correlation for males and females between the perspectives, was not significant. The study identified significant gender differences where males had a more favourable attitude from a criminal investigation perspective and, to a lesser extent, agreed with the criticism. Females had a less favourable attitude from a violation of integrity perspective and agreed with the criticism to a greater extent.

A Faculdade de Medicina de Marília (FAMEMA) foi escolhida por utilizar, desde 1997, no lugar do método tradicional, uma nova metodologia de ensino, a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (ABP). Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram quatrocentos e treze estudantes, do ano de 2003, equivalente a 87,5% dos estudantes matriculados naquele ano. Foi aplicado o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp aos sujeitos da pesquisa durante os meses de abril a outubro de 2003. Observou-se a presença de estresse em 57,83% dos estudantes. A prevalência de estresse foi menor nos estudantes do primeiro ano em relação aos estudantes dos demais anos, e essas diferenças foram estatisticamente significantes. A prevalência de estresse foi maior no gênero feminino em relação ao masculino (p < 0,05). Nos estudantes que apresentaram estresse, 63,71% apresentaram predominância de sintomas psíquicos, 24,05% de sintomas físicos e 12,24% sem predominância. Nos estudantes que apresentaram estresse, 88,19% encontravam-se na fase de resistência, 4,64% na fase de alerta, 5,06% na fase de quase exaustão e 2,11% na fase de exaustão. Esses resultados sugerem que o curso médico é um agente estressor, mesmo numa faculdade que utiliza em seu currículo a ABP e, também, que há uma associação maior entre o estresse e o gênero feminino. Os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa fazem considerar a necessidade de repensar o ensino médico, dando condições ao estudante de aprender a lidar com o estresse causado pelo curso, pois a maioria dos estudantes ainda se encontra na fase de resistência, portanto, sem uma doença instalada. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of stress among medical students of the Faculdade de Medicina de Marília (FAMEMA). This institution was chosen as it utilizes the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method of teaching, instead of the traditional one since 1997. The research subjects were four hundred and thirteen students, equivalent to 87.5% of all registered the students in 2003. Between April and October of this year was applied to the research subjects the Lipp's Inventory of Symptoms of Stress for Adults. It was observed the presence of stress on 57.83% the students. The prevalence of stress was minor in the sophomore students in relations to those of the other years, and these differences were significant. The prevalence of stress was higher on the female genus comparing to the male genus (p < 0.05). Of the students that presented stress 63.71% presented predominance of psychic symptoms, 24.05% physical symptoms, and 12.24% with no predominance. On the students that presented stress, 88.19% were on the resistance phase, 4.64% on the alert phase, 5.06% on the almost exhausted phase and 2.11% on the exhausted phase. These results suggest that the medical course is a stressor agent; even in a College that utilizes on its curriculum the PBL, as well as there is an association between the stress and the female genus. The results obtained in this research make us to considerer the possibility of acting on the medical teaching, giving conditions for the student to learn to struggle with the stress caused by the course, as the majority of the students still are on the resistance phase, consequently, without an installed disease.

thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree: Master of Technology: Electrical Engineering in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology / Rural communities are often unable to access electrical energy due to their distant location away from the national grid. Renewable energy sources (RESs) make it possible to provide electrical energy to these isolated areas. Sustainable generation is possible at a local level and is not dependant on connection to a national power grid. Microgrids are small scale, stand-alone electricity networks that harness energy at its geographical location, from natural resources. These small scale power grids are either connected to a national grid or operate separately by obtaining their power from an RES. Microgrids are becoming increasingly popular because they can provide electricity, independently of the national grid. The size of microgrid systems are dependent on the amount of energy that needs to be drawn and the amount of energy that has to be stored. Mechanical and electrical system component sizes become bigger due to increased operational energy requirements. Increases in component sizes are required on growing power networks when higher current levels are drawn. Energy management of microgrids must thus be introduced to prevent overloading the power grid network and to extend the operational life of the storage batteries. Energy management systems consist of different components which are seen as operational units. Operational units are responsible for measurement, communication, decision–making and power supply switching control, to manipulate the power output to meet the energy demands. Due to the increasing popularity of DC home appliances, it is important to explore the possibility of keeping these microgrids on a DC voltage basis. Electrical generation equipment such as photovoltaic panels can be used to generate DC at designed voltage levels. The energy management system connects the user loads and generation units together to form the microgrid. The aim of this study was to carry out the design of an agent–based energy management system for rural and under-developed communities. It investigates how the control of the output of the energy management system can be carried out to service the loads. The simulations were done using the following software packages: Simulink, Matlab, and SimPowerSystems. PV sources, energy management system (EMS) and user load parameters are varied in the simulation software to observe how the control algorithm executes load shedding. A stokvel-type charge share concept is dealt with where the state-of-charge (SOC) of batteries and user consumption will determine how grid loads are managed. Load shedding within the grid is executed by monitoring energy flow and calculating how much energy is allowed to be used by each consumer. The energy management system is programmed to always provide the largest amount of energy to the consumer with the lowest energy consumption for each day. The batteries store surplus electrical energy during the day. Load shedding starts at 18:00 each day. Users will be disconnected from the grid whenever their allotted energy capacity were depleted.
