Since the first issuance in 1994, Swedish Government inflation indexed bonds have given a higher return then their nominal counterpart. This is despite the fact that investors can reduce the risks of inflation. Findings on other markets, as the US bond market, suggest that the higher return can be explained by the lower liquidity of inflation indexed bonds relative the nominal bonds. The aim of th
Under de senaste 15 åren har användningen av frekvenselektromagnetiska sonderingsinstrument inom geofysiska undersökningar drivit forskningen framåt för att förbättra den använda metoden. En av dessa tekniker är inversion vilket är den process som omvandlar elektromagnetiska data till djupvärden för geologiska lager. Inversion av frekvenselektromagnetiska data har länge varit förknippat med svårigThe adoption of frequency electromagnetic (EM) sounding devices in the past 15 years for geophysical exploration has fueled research into techniques associated with the method. One of these techniques is inversion which is the process of turning the EM data into measurements of depth for different geological layers. Inversion of frequency EM data has classically been difficult and unreliable. With
Uppsatsens fokus kommer ligga på de två stora principerna som genomsyrar barnkonventionen och därav också den svenska barnrätten. Barnets bästa som framkommer av artikel 3 och även barnets vilja som stadgas i artikel 12 barnkonventionen. En undersökning gällande hur artikel 3 kan tolkas görs för att vidare kunna öppna för diskussion. Frågan gällande om vaga rekvisit som argumenteras för att skapa The essay's focus will be on the two major principles that pervade in the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” (UNCRC) and hence also Swedish law regarding children's rights. The child's best interest is stated in Article 3 and also the children’s will as stipulated in Article 12 of UNCRC. The essay examines how Article 3 can be interpreted and whether the vague props that exist mai
Climate change, deforestation and poverty are big threats for today’s society. One way the United Nations has chosen to combat this is through a project named REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). In short, REDD+ allows countries to be compensated if they change their way of using the forest into methods more likely to conserve the ecosystem and eliminate or minimiz
This study of plural suffixes in written plural contexts used by lebanese learners of second language French is based on previous works by Schlyter & Bartning (2004), Granfeldt et al. (2005) and Ågren (2008). The learning process of an L2 learner passes through stages that are clearly determined and systematic. In this study twenty lebanese learners of L2 French were asked to write a text base
The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application
Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl
Abstract: This thesis examines the concept of sustainable economic growth in post-genocide Rwanda, focusing on its structural transformation from the agricultural sector towards the service sector. This exploration essentially regards the implications for catch-up growth in light of the new notion of premature deindustrialisation. The role of Human Capital and Information and Communication technol
The situation for the environment is in many ways dire. However, amidst all the negative environmental developments it is easy to neglect the successes that have actually happened. With the aim of better understanding what factors facilitated such a success this thesis analyses one such case, namely emissions of dioxins and chlorinated waste from the pulp and paper industry in Sweden. Dioxins were
The current trends for most fair-skinned populations are that the incidence of melanoma and non-pigmented skin lesions is growing, and this growing trend will continue for the upcoming years. The emergence of deep learning networks and their promising results in solving real-world healthcare problems and improving diagnostic accuracy opens new possibilities. This thesis consists of the creation o
In this text we continue the work of describing subalgebras of K[x] of finite codimension that was started in Describing subalgebras of K[x] using derivatives. In the referenced paper, the authors present how univariate subalgebras can be described by conditions based on evaluations in certain scalars, and proceed to develop a large theoretical framework to understand the nature of such conditions.
Strukturella och petrologiska studier av komplext veckade mafiskt- och felsiskt varvade sekvenser har genomförts i den paraautoktona delen av Svekonorvegiska provinsen i sydvästra Sverige. Tre deformationsfaser (D1, D2, D3) innefattande minst två veckfaser (F2, F3) och två lineationsfaser (L2, L3) karakteriserar ett flerfasigt veck i migmatiserad och mycket kompetent granatamfibolit. Denna enhet vStructural and petrological studies on complexly folded mafic and felsic layered sequences have been mapped in the parautochthonous basement of the Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3)involving at least two fold phases (F2, F3) and two lineation phases (L2, L3) characterize a polyphase fold, which is primarily defined by a migmatized and highly competent garnet am
This paper intends to investigate the impact of the two-sided market effect with nearby theories, the importance of customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the newspaper industry. It takes its theoretical references from academic research literature and interviews with the focus on customer loyalty and customer relationship management in the two-sided market environment. The resu
There are approximately 200 million international migrants in the world today as well as countless irregular migrants that would benefit from more open migration. Despite this, borders remain closed for many and the right to free mobility is only granted to a few. Theories speak of a hierarchy of power dictated by those who can move freely and those who cannot. Using this as a base, our study look
In this paper, the model of moral motivation as developed by Brekke et al (2003) is analysed with the new assumption that self-image is an increasing function of effort. While the effects of increased efficiency and new information on optimal effort levels are largely similar, different results are obtained when individuals are faced with responsibility and economic incentives. Following Brekke et
This paper examines the relation between violent conflicts and democratization in Georgia. Since independence in 1991, Georgia has grown towards increased democratization but within the political transition, many obstacles, in form of violent conflicts and war have threatened the country. In the Democratization and War theory, Mansfield & Snyder argues that increased democracy increases the ri
This thesis evaluates the EU-level tobacco products regulation and the regulation of tobacco products for oral use, in particular. The evaluation includes a historical overview of the development of relevant secondary legislation and a more detailed analysis of the current regulatory state. Following the analysis of the Tobacco Products Directive as the main legal instrument in the European tobacc
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
