I takt med att de finansiella marknadernas omfång och betydelse har ökat, har allmänhetens intresse för de finansiella marknaderna också ökat. Idag omsätter den svenska värdepappersmarknader flera miljarder kronor och ger upphov till ett växande informationsflöde. En anledning till det stora intresset för värde-pappersmarknader är bland annat att det internationella inslaget har ökat kraf-tigt. MyAs the financial markets grow and their importance increases, so has public interest. The financial markets in Sweden have a turnover of several billion Swedish kronor which goes some way to explain the current interest. Other reasons for the increasing public interest are the expanding transnational trade and the rapid evolution of trade technology. Illegal insider trading (insider dealing) is

The focus of this paper is the dialectal usage and divergence of the Japanese verb kuru ‘to come’ found in Kyushu, Okinawa, Toyama, Ishikawa, northern Gifu and Shimane. In said areas kuru is used in the same way as the verb iku ‘to go’ in standard Japanese. A survey concerning this aspect of the different dialects has been carried out. The results are examined to find possible differences between

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to design an appropriate channel strategy, to handle communication between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The approach for this master thesis can be described as a combination of an exploratory and problem solving study. It started with a literature study, and the knowledge and inspiration led

This thesis investigates the possible positive effects a Lean study of the, planning, production and development of products, may have on a company’s product realisation process. In an environment where a company needs to satisfy a customer demand for both standard and customised products will induce a wide product range. This can induce a lot of wasteful activities and puts pressure on the produc

Obsolete Furniture is a furniture line designed by Karl-Johan Hjerling as a part of his master thesis in industrial design at LTH. The project was made with and for ACNE, a Swedish fashion house located in Stockholm. By combining ACNE’s fashion, ACNE’s architecture and the current global recession, the general theme of reintroducing old, obsolete furniture in a modernized fashion set. Inspiration

The goal of this project was to design a tool that facilitates the work with and handling of horses in Scandinavia. After reading some literature and making visits to three different horse related businesses the choice were made to look at natural horsemanship. The goal of natural horsemanship is based on mutual respect, trust, communication and understanding. The idea is that you want to give th

Denna studie har undersökt hur landets miljöprövningsdelegationer godkänner samråd i miljökonsekvensbeskrivningsprocessen samt om de bedömer att samrådet är tillräckligt enligt lagen på samma sätt. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av 17 kvalitativa intervjuer gjorda på landets miljöenheter och miljöprövningsdelegationer, samt genom att kartlägga den rättsliga bakgrunden. Att belägga att de

Alunskiffern har i århundraden varit av ekonomiskt intresse och var en viktig naturresurs i Sveriges tidiga industriella utveckling genom framställningen av alun - ett kaliumaluminiumsulfat. Dessutom har alunskiffern varit intressant som källa och reservoar för olja och gas. Förutom de kemiska egenskaperna har även en del av de kemiska processerna i frågan om uppkomsten av petroleum, gas och uran The alum shale has for centuries been of interest and was an important resource in Sweden's early industrial history through the manufacturing of alum - a potassium aluminium sulfate. In addition to describing the chemical properties this paper also include a brief description of some of the chemical processes that are responsible for the enrichment of oil, gas and uranium. The alum shale in t

Today, package has more obligations than just protecting the product. Consumers see the product and package as an integrated part and requires luxurious and prestigious package in order to attract them. This has forced companies to improve their package design to be able to sell their products. Both companies and consumers use it for different reasons but the visibility on the shelf remains the sa

För arbetet med förorenade områden finns det nationella miljökvalitetsmålet ”Giftfri miljö”. Det är ett så kallat generationsmål och innebär att förekomsten av ämnen som har utvunnits av eller skapats i samhället inte ska hota människors hälsa och den biologiska mångfalden. Vidare innebär målet att halter av naturfrämmande ämnen är nära noll och deras påverkan på människors hälsa och ekosystem ska

Popular Science Abstract This thesis is about the construction and demonstration of time correlated single photon counting (TSCPC) setup. The technique is essentially digital and is based on detection and counting of single photon, recognizing quantum nature of light. The time is measured between excitation pulse and detected photons and is stored in histogram with x-axis corresponding to time in

Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from

Although access to the internet is increasingly recognised as a critical right, the increasing criminalisation of copyright infringements and its consequent constitutional concerns reflects not only an ever widening gap between the legislative prescriptions and the broader societal expectations but may also raise constitutional concerns that may undermine that right of access. Drawing on the premi

China is facing multiple challenges of environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and rapid urbanization. The challenges along with people's needs to improve living condition force China to value the importance of developing green buildings. In 2006 the first national green building assessment tool -­‐ Evaluation Standard for Green Building (GBS) was released and widely implemented soon aft

The objective of this study is to get new experimental data regarding to the burning velocities of ethanol, acetaldehyde and their mixture which has been performed by the heat flux method. It is known that the heat flux method for determination of laminar burning velocities is an efficient technique since the burning velocity can be determined directly, without applying extrapolations. These lamin

Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy

Organized crime has received much attention in Sweden the last decade and it is seen as a big threat against the society. In 2007 the government emphasized the importance to fight this type of criminality by taking a first initiative towards a national campaign against organized crime. Further the Minister of Justice wants to investigate whether it is possible to introduce a crown witness system i

Services of general economic interest are economic activities that public authorities identify as being of particular importance to citizens and that would not be supplied or would be supplied under different conditions if there were no public intervention. Examples of services of general economic interest are transport networks, postal services and social services They are provided by States to i
