Sverige anses vara i framkant när det gäller äldrefrågor oh stöd för äldre. Samtidigt behöver lagstiftningar och stödfunkt
The purpose of this report is to implement and compare the two Basel III standard methods on how to calculate the capital requirement for finan- cial institutions, related to counterparty credit risk. The models being the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) and the Internal Model Method (IMM). The SA-CCR model is a simpler and more standardized model with prescribed methods

This study aimed to understand gamers on a deeper level and investigate how certain in-game purchases and avatars can assist gamers with their self-expression. Through 12 semi-structured interviews and the support of two theories, we have been able to understand gamers in-depth.
This master thesis examines positions to long-term preservation of digital games in Sweden. Digital games are a new artform and type of cultural heritage but few actions have been taken to preserve them in an institutional context. If nothing is done now digital games risk disappearing very soon. The majority of long-term preservation of digital games has been performed by individual or groups
Sustainability is increasingly a matter of key strategic importance for organisations across all sectors as stakeholders from all directions are demanding it as the "new normal". Consequently, organisations worldwide are incorporating sustainability into their business operations. A shared sustainability vision among internal stakeholders can provide the necessary guidance to develop via
Chillers are large and complex machines that are used for temperature regulation in large buildings and plants. An undetected fault in the machine can lead to extended downtime and cause both great financial losses and increased environmental impact. Therefore Carrier, as manufacturer of chillers, is interested in developing fault detection algorithms capable of detecting the faults early so that
Perceptions of where the “natural” place for women is, vary considerably across societies. This is especially true in heterogeneous countries like Ethiopia, where stark variations between ethnicities and their attitudes towards gender roles exist. A much-debated question is how these differences emerge. Some research suggests that gender roles originated from traditional agricultural practices whe
Sharing music and displaying one’s musical preferences have become an inseparable part of the content circulating on social media, dating apps, and the online world as a whole. Accordingly, music-streaming services are providing users with more and more functions to share musical content on other platforms and even introduced summaries of their annual music consumption. How consumers are using the

We investigate the problem of risk averse robot path planning using the deep reinforcement learning and distributionally robust optimization perspectives. Our problem formulation involves modelling the robot as a stochastic linear dynamical system, assuming that a collection of process noise samples is available. We cast the risk averse motion planning problem as a Markov decision process and prop
Galectin-8 is a β-galactoside-binding protein, participating in many homeostatic and pathological functions, such as regulation of cellular adhesion, T-cell homeostasis, apoptosis, as well as playing a major role in tumor development and progression. Galectin-8 has two CRDs, namely galectin-8 N-terminal (galectin-8N) and C-terminal (galectin-8C) domains, that exhibit differential glycan binding sp
Cities around the world are employing strategies to become greener and more sustainable, and urban forests can play a major role in providing environmental benefits. However, it has been found that in many cities those benefits are not equally experienced by citizens, highlighting the importance of examining environmental justice. Environmental justice is commonly conceptualised as composed of thr
Different actors identified the circular economy (CE) as a solution to tackle global environmental challenges and foster sustainable growth. Transitioning to CE requires new circular business models (CBM), which create, capture, and deliver value, based on the principles of the CE. It is, however, a challenging process for companies see through the wide variety of CBM types and to identify which C
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is any difference in payout policies between firms that adopt a dual-class share structure compared to a single-class share structure. Methodology: We are using an unbalanced panel data set of firms that are listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (SSE). The econometric approach is based on pooled ordinary least square regressions, rand
