Pivot Point Trading in the Foreign Exchange Market - A Test for Market Efficiency

One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points.

The content, chemical state and accumulation of vanadium in a drill core of Alum shale from Kinnekulle

Alunskiffer är en svart lersten av kambrisk-tidig ordovicisk ålder som har en vid utbredning i Sverige och angränsande områden. Bergarten är rik på organiskt kol från ofullständig nedbrytning av marina mikroskopiska organismer som inlagrades i sedimentet på syrefria havsbottnar. Miljön gjorde det även gynnsamt för en del spårmetaller att deponeras, bland annat Uran, Nickel, Molybden och Vanadin. VExploitation of alum shale is a controversial subject in Sweden due to the history of pollution of the environment and groundwater, from past mining industries. The extraction of vanadium from alum shale is no different. Nevertheless the metal is a valuable resource used in tools, building, industries and aerospace materials. A look to the future reveals that vanadium may play a role in renewable

Designing a Smartphone Application for Identification of Network Devices

Idag kopplas allt fler enheter upp på Internet, vilket effektiviserar såväl enhetshantering som kommunikation mellan enheter. I hemmiljöer kan användare styra enheter genom att förse dem med beskrivande namn, som till exempel "högtalare vardagsrum". Så länge antalet enheter är begränsat är en sådan lösning ofta tillräcklig. I ett fall med ett stort antal enheter måste användaren dock hålToday, an increasing amount of physical devices are obtaining Internet connectivity for more efficient management and device communication. In home environments, users may manage devices by providing them descriptive names such as "living room speaker". For a limited set of devices such a solution is often sufficient. However, in a case where one wants to individually manage a very high

“Flowing” Village

A lovely village, which located a little bit far from the city, but still has a convenient and good connection to the city center. There are no high-rises, and the form of life returns to the previously slow pace life which is full of human kindness. Canals appear everywhere and form a drainage system which can help purify the water before it goes into Dianchi Lake. It is a self-sufficient life mo

Same sex couple discrimination: A field experiment in the Portuguese housing market

This is the first attempt at conducting a correspondence field experiment testing for discrimi

Stock Price Synchronicity in a highly informed market

I investigate how the intensity of the oil industry affects the synchronicity of large capitalized oil and gas companies in the western world. I find that despite of the high level of information available to investors of large capitalized oil and gas companies stocks of oil and gas companies move synchronous with the market when it falls, but not synchronous when it rises. I suggest also that pas

Design Concept for Thule Strollers- Improving the user experience in the dark

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and fin

"De tittar på min kropp" – En kvalitativ studie om bemötande av kvinnliga respektive manliga kunder i underklädesbutiker

Om kvinnor i åldern 16 – 29 utgör en grupp som i stor utsträckning har arbeten som inbegriper kundkontakt samt löper större risk att utsättas för sexuella trakasserier på arbetet; vad händer då när denna kundkontakt sker i butiker där såväl miljö som produkter anspelar på sexuell attraktivitet? För att undersöka detta har fyra djupintervjuer genomfört med personer som arbetar i olika underklädesbu

A Comparative Analysis of the Performance of Euro-Denominated Green and Conventional Bonds
