Automation and AI application in SME

Introduction and Background: The current industrial landscape grapples with inflexible processes, limited innovation, and declining profit margins, necessitating a transformative shift. Industry 4.0 emerges as a beacon of change, offering advanced solutions such as big data analysis, autonomous robots, and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the widespread adoption of these technologies, especially among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), faces hurdles like technical expertise gaps and organizational complexities. Purpose of the Project: In response to the challenges faced by SMEs, this project is dedicated to leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize automation and manufacturing processes.

ENSURE

The project aims to develop a better understanding of how research quality and societal impact of energy systems research can be described and assessed, with a particular focus on its contribution to sustainable transitions. This includes understanding how research affects different aspects of transitions, from scientific advances and innovations, to changes in individuals' behaviour, policy making and organisational direction. 

Existential issues and needs during the childbearing period

Being pregnant, giving birth, becoming a parent and breastfeeding are life-changing events that evoke existential questions and needs. Such are meaningful for the woman and the partner in the context they are in. This means that the body changes, that the woman leaves the life she is used to or that life changes. Existential questions and needs concern human existence and means thinking about what the meaning of life is and how the new existence as a mother or father will be.
