Due to this purpose, interviews have been made with six junior school teachers

With the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) accessories such as network attached cameras, light bulbs and thermostats are all constantly connected to the Internet and security concerns must be taken seriously. If a bug exists in an application it could be hacked by a malicious adversary that then could harm the underlying system, leak information or attack other devices or networks. Applications sho

This essay connects to an ongoing discussion and debate on the usefulness and accuracy of the theories and the conceptual apparatus developed by the French theorist Henri Lefebvre. From an analytical reading of Lefebvre’s book The Urban Revolution, I make an original interpretation of Lefebvre’s arguments by tracing them back to Hegel’s syllogism and Marx’s two departments of social reproduction.

In this thesis three different methodologies to convert Point-in-Time (PIT) probability of default (PD) to Through-the-Cycle (TTC) PD are applied on a sample of large Danish firms for the period 2005-2014. These kind of methodologies are important for preventing pro-cyclicality in the capital requirement, i.e. how much capital banks need to hold in order to cope with unexpected losses. The methods

This thesis explores how transaction costs affect the optimality of hedging when using Black-Scholes option pricing model. Further, a number of models developed to improve the hedging results of Black-Scholes, when accounting for transaction costs, are analysed and compared. To numerically evaluate these strategies, extensive Monte-Carlo simulations are generated and the results of the strategies

Behovet av lösningsmedel som kan byta ut farliga organiska eller fossil-baserade lösningsmedel har uppstått för att minimera utsläpp av farliga restprodukter. En lösning till detta behov är att istället använda vatten. Vad man har hittat är att vissa rektioner i vatten kan sker snabbare än i organiska lösningsmedel. Att byta ut lösningsmedel är inte den enda lösningen på att minimera slöseri i kemThe effect that organic solvents have on the environment and the intrinsic risk that come with using them should be limited. By replacing organic solvents with less harmful solvents, such as water, and with more effective catalysts can risks intrinsic to organic solvents be minimized or eliminated. The focus of this project is testing if Michael addition using transition metal salt catalysts with

There is today an ongoing debate about Fair Trade and its consequences. The way to reach an understanding about the producers lives is important if the future will be liberated from the uneven access to the market.

Inom sälj antas säljare uppvisa olika beteenden beroende på vilken roll de har. Det visar sig dock att de flesta arbetar på ett mer enhetligt sätt än vad man kan tro.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate, develop and implement an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature for an ultra-light electric vehicle, focusing specifically on an Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB). The fundamental requirements, for an ultra-light electric vehicle, were found and investigated through experiments. A person detection algorithm with camera and LiDAR was developed with
