A distinguishing component of the mortgage bond market in Denmark is the option to prepay a loan before its maturity date. From the debtors perspective, this is often done with the purpose of refinancing to a lower lending rate. Thus, interest rate modelling becomes a natural part of the pricing process of Danish callable mortgage bonds. Today, yield curves are modelled and thought of differently
The problem of pricing American stock options is far more complex than pricing European options due to the possibility of early execution. This feature means that the decision to either hold on to the option or exercising it early must be continually evaluated, leading to closed form solutions such as the Black-Scholes Formula to not be applicable on American options written on dividend paying ass
IKEA, a company well known around the world for their furniture, is also keen on using digital solutions to improve the customer experience. One of these solutions is the self-serving kiosk, a 27" touchscreen, that helps the customers find and buy products.

The blue economy emerged as sustainable, inclusive and equitable alternative to traditional oceans economy. However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries.

For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with. To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event
This study aimed to determine the protective effects of three main lyoprotectants (sucrose, maltodextrin, GOS) and two sub-lyoprotectants (mono sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate) and their effectiveness on the survival of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri after freeze drying and during storage. The objective of the freeze-drying method with the formulation is to enhance the storage stability of La
The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin. An alternative to these non-ren

Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease which affects about 3 % of children in Sweden where most of them have an asymptomatic form making it difficult to detect. The bacterial composition in the gastrointestinal microflora can affect the intestinal barrier properties and the immune systems response to various dietary components. An unfavourable composition of the microflora can activate par
The noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and body dynamic performance of automotive vehicles is highly dependent of the components included in the body structure and compartment, since they add mass, stiffness and damping to the overall structure. Today, the noise levels in the compartment are predicted using complex and detailed computational models during both early and late stages of the vehicl
För att minska miljöpåverkan och minimera exploateringen av de begränsade tillgångar som finns så krävs en övergång till cirkulär ekonomi. Det innebär minskad materialkonsumtion och mer återanvändning och återvinning av plast och andra material. Förra året producerades i världen 359 millioner ton plast och av det insamlade avfallet i Europa blev endast en tred-jedel återvunnet. Bland de fem mest pTo reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. Only last year, 359 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide and only a third of the col-lected waste in Europe was recycled. A

Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups.

Barn har ett särskilt skyddsvärde och när de utsätts för brottsliga gärningar har de, precis som vuxna, ett behov av upprättelse men också en rätt att få uppleva att rättvisa skipas för att få ett avslut på brottsupplevelsen. I Sverige tillmäts den rättsliga hanteringen av unga brottsoffer stor betydelse för utgången i målet och det ställs således höga krav på att barnets särskilda behov tas i beaChildren have a specific need for protection and especially when subject to criminal acts. Similar to adults, children also have a need for redress and a right to experience that justice will be served in order to find a closure to the process associated with crime victimization. In Sweden, the legal treatment of young victims of crime is of great importance for criminal judgement and thus high de
In the later Middle Ages there was a vivid activity of preaching at the Abbey of Vadstena. Apart from the ordinary Sunday preaching at High Mass, or in connection to it, there were a number of feasts due to the saints. At heart of the medieval pastoral theology was The Way of Salvation and the conundrum was how to make people understand how to correct their living in order to get into Heaven as qu
