Den ökande handeln och transaktionerna med Kina kräver förståelse för kinesisk kontraktsrätt, som ännu inte är särskilt välkänd eller studerad i resten av världen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra och analysera likheter och skillnader mellan svensk och China has for many years been one of the world's fastest growing economies and has enormous potential for Swedish companies. The increase in trading and transactions with China requires an understanding of Chinese Contract Law, which is neither widely studied nor well known to the world. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the similarities and differences between Swedish, Chin

Bottleneck Complexity (BNC) is a fairly new metric for Secure Multi Party Computation (SMPC) protocols. Two protocols with the BNC in mind are examined in this thesis. One protocol is successfully implemented in the Python programming language, and the BNC, latency and computational complexity of the protocol is examined with positive results. The BNC is independent on the number of parties in the

Electric bikes have become ubiquitous in traffic, and with a growing user base and expensive prices, a demand for bike protection is increasing. Bike protection applications could include detecting and notifying the owner if their bike has been stolen or fallen over.

Enligt WHO är mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot kvinnors hälsa. Medan det finns många aspekter att ha i åtanke i analysen av detta, kvarstår faktumet att det är i hemmet som våldet sker. Varför är det så? Många arkitekter och teoretiker har länge konstaterat hur våra städer är byggda olika väl för olika typer av kroppar, där möjligtvis vissa kroppar stöttas According to the WHO, domestic violence is one of the most dangerous threats to women’s health. Whilst there are more things to consider, truth is that the home is where all of this violent behaviour takes the stage. Why is that? Many architects and theorists have long made out that our cities are differently well-built for different kinds of bodies, where some are possibly better supported than o

Risk matrices are tables with rows representing consequences, and columns representing frequencies. The risk matrix is considered a simple and convenient tool for visualizing risk. However, it has faced critique from the scientific community. Though risk matrices are extensively applied in practice for visualizing results from coarse risk analyses, there is limited research regarding guidance on i
