User Experience Design in an Axis Camera Setup Interface

I en värld där UX-standarden höjs av att använda välutvecklade vardagsprodukter, förväntas det bättre och bättre UX Design av alla produkter inom IT-branschen.

UX Design In a world where the UX-standard is rising from the use of well-developed everyday products, better UX Design is becoming more and more expected of all products within the IT-industry.

Bolagsskattens vara eller icke vara

Sedan Sverige gick med i EU har den svenska bolagsskattesatsen halkat efter nytillkommna medlemsländer. Den europeiska trenden är tydligt för en sänkning av bolagskattesatsen och Sverige tappar i konkurrenskraft. Skattesänkningar har som mål att bredda skattebasen men saCorporation tax is a controversial tax. The OECD has even called the tax one of the most dangerous taxes for business growth. Since Sweden joined the EU, the Swedish corporate tax rate has been falling behind the rest of the EU members. The European trend is clearly for a reduction in corporate tax rate, and Sweden is losing competitiveness. Tax cuts aims to broaden the tax base but also in a glob

Using GEV-regression to improve accuracy of probability of default in low default portfolios

Calculating probability of default (PD) for low default portfolios in a statistically sound way can be a daunting task. For groups of coun- terparties with no or few defaults, e.g. large corporates and nancial institutions, standard approaches like logistic regression fail due to the low number of events. In this thesis, a dierent approach is used. The logit function in logistic regression is repl

Användning av kortsiktig planering - i sex stora svenska företag

Bakgrund och Problem: Planering används inom företag för att stödja beslutsfattande och kontroll. För kortsiktig planering har budgeten länge varit det huvudsakliga styrmedlet.
