With the rapid technological advancement and innovation in Industry 4.0/5.0, digitalization has become the mainstream that transforms the paradigm of many industries, businesses, and services. In this regard, AI-enabled chatbots have been increasingly adopted by many companies for providing customer services instead of human agents. On the one hand, the use of AI-enabled chatbots provides opportunities ...

Human history is full of epidemic outbreaks that occur on a regular basis. The past epidemics have resulted in millions of deaths and economic recessions. With the increasing frequency of human-induced epidemics in recent years, effective and efficient epidemic logistics management has become vital for successfully containing the spread of the disease as well as preventing societal disruption, ...

Protective relays are an integral part of the power grid, making it reliable and secure against abnormal conditions. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) can be employed to test and validate digital protective relay devices in the real-time simulation comprising hardware and software before actual implementation. However, the HIL technique requires a complex and high-cost technical environment consisting of ...

This article addresses some challenging perspectives related to offering take-home exams in mathematics at university level. The challenges arose during work on a previous article where four perspectives originating from Bjerrum Nielsen’s framework (2003) were used to analyze universities’ assessment methods during the Covid lockdown in our country. The perspectives had some ethical considerations ...

Learning design has a multifaceted nature requiring a range of course- and institutional considerations. Analyzing the decision criteria’s influence on research-based learning design helps understand the causes of the success/failure of the approach in achieving the teaching goals to improve the study programs. This study explores the interrelationship between the curricular and pedagogical criteria ...

In this article, we analyse how energy security are woven into political discourses among Norwegian policymakers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequences of this for intergenerational justice and environmental concerns more broadly. Preceding justifications centred on state revenue and domestic economic growth, the current discourse focuses on the European need for security of ...

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a range of techniques that enable machines to perceive, learn, and make intelligent decisions and it has emerged as transformative technology in many applications. This thesis presents the development of an AI model, focusing on the significance of the primary representative dataset and the effectiveness of transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques for ...

In response to the increasing demand for construction informatics (CI) expertise, universities in the Nordic countries have developed new educational offers. This study explores how CI related education is being delivered by three different universities, two in Norway and one in Sweden. By comparing curricula and interviewing CI teachers, this paper contributes to the recent debate on the international ...

Underwater capacitive power transfer (CPT) can provide an inexpensive and light electric charging solution with good misalignment tolerance for unmanned maritime vehicles. This paper investigates the effect of the changing of the frequency and the distance on the power transfer and overall efficiency of the underwater CPT system, considering the dielectric losses of the medium. It also proposes and ...
