The world today is experiencing an AI summer, urging us to engage with its technologies on a daily basis. Recently, researchers have begun to voice concerns about the potential risks if we do not address the inherent biases in these systems. After all, AI is merely code based on mathematics produced by humans.

In this work an assessment of the compressed air system in the facilities of Vattenfall Heat Uppsala has been conducted. The facilities constitutes, among others, a combined heat and power plant, and two waste incineration plants. The compressed air is supplied primarily by seven rotary screw compressors and yearly electric energy consumption in these has been determined. Furthermore, the usage of compressed air has been mapped in order to find processes with energy savings potential. Several suggestions how to reduce the usage of compressed air have been presented, resulting in decreased need of electric energy and reduced CO2-emissions.The results show that total need of electric energy in the compressors, during a standard production year, amounts to 5.83 GWh.

Many people perceive a division between an online world and the ?real? world outside of the World Wide Web.

Fokus läggs också på att undersöka synskadade som målgrupp för den här typenav spel. Under arbetet skapas en prototyp av ett ljudbaserat spel där syftet är att undersökaolika navigeringsmetoder för ljudbaserad navigering. Ett antal deltagare får sedan spelaspelet och resultaten sammanställs för att få en bild av hur deltagarna klarade att lösauppgifterna som spelet är konstruerat med och även hur spelaren upplevdespelgenomgången.
