2. 6. Practice beyond technology when programming and mathematics teaching converge

   Author : Ana Fuentes Martinez; Lars Svensson; Anders Mørch; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Programming; Mathematics; Curriculum; Strategies; Tactics; Michel de Certeau; Programmering; Matematik; Kursplan; L¨aroplan; Strategier; taktiker; Michel de Certeau; Work Integrated Learning; Arbetsintegrerat lärande;

   Abstract : This thesis examines how computer programming and mathematics teaching converge in the presence of a revised mathematics curriculum for upper secondary education. The focus is on the stratified policy strategies deployed by the institutions; how teachers tactically navigated the tensions and contradictions that arose in their everyday teaching; and how these tactics later consolidated in practice.

4. 7. Approximate Methods of Optimal Control via Dynamic Programming Models

   Author : Yuchao Li; Jonas Mårtensson; Karl H. Johansson; Moritz Diehl; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimal Control; Dynamic Programming; Rollout; Model Predictive Control; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Optimal control theory has a long history and broad applications. Motivated by the goal of obtaining insights through unification and taking advantage of the abundant capability to generate data and perform online simulation, this thesis studies the discrete-time infinite horizon optimal control problems and introduces some approximate solution methods via abstract dynamic programming (DP) models.

5. 8. Structure exploiting optimization methods for model predictive control

   Author : Emil Klintberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multi-stage robust MPC; Optimization methods.; Model Predictive Control; Distributed optimization;

   Abstract : This thesis considers optimization methods for Model Predictive Control (MPC). MPC is the preferred control technique in a growing set of applications due to its flexibility and to the natural way in which constraints can be incorporated in the control policy. READ MORE

6. 9. Sharing Good Examples, Then What? : Investigations of Contingency and Continuity in the Scaling-of-ESD-Activities-as-Learning

   Author : Martin Mickelsson; David Kronlid; Anna Danielsson; Rob O’Donoghue; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainable development; environmental and sustainability education; scaling; scaling-up; implementation gap; learning; Curriculum Studies; Didaktik;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to contribute to a deepened and nuanced understanding of scaling in environmental and sustainability education (ESE) research, specifically, to develop a conceptual framework for engaging with issues of scaling in policy and practice regarding education for sustainable development (ESD). Three research objectives are formulated. READ MORE

7. 10. Reinforcement Learning and Dynamical Systems

   Author : Björn Lindenberg; Karl-Olof Lindahl; Marc G. Bellemare; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial intelligence; distributional reinforcement learning; Markov decision processes; Bellman operators; deep learning; multi-armed bandits; Bayesian bandits; conjugate priors; Thompson sampling; linear finite dynamical systems; cycle orbits; fixed-point systems; Mathematics; Matematik; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns reinforcement learning and dynamical systems in finite discrete problem domains. Artificial intelligence studies through reinforcement learning involves developing models and algorithms for scenarios when there is an agent that is interacting with an environment. READ MORE
