This paper has the purpose to determine whether the attractive rates offered by a local Investment Bank in Mexico under structured products, more specifically under structured notes without principal protection denominated “Dual Structured Notes”, are plausible to get, showing whether the strikes of the implicit options were chosen within critical price values for the foreign exchange rate MXN/USD

Catastrophic health disbursements produce numerous injuries in the families experiencing them. Increasing the level of impoverishment and reducing the expenditure on basic needs such as education, are expected to be the most disastrous consequences in which uncovered families may be involved. Through the use of a matching procedure and a diff-in-diff method, the impact of out-of-pocket health expe

This Master thesis was conducted at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB (TKMS AB), formerly known as Kockums AB. TKMS AB is based in Malmö, Sweden and is a manufacturer of conventionally powered submarines. The next generation of submarines, type A26, is currently under development and introduces many new features compared to prior submarine designs. Following increased fire and sound reduction demands

Mönsterseparation är en neural mekanism ansvarig för att skapa specifika, ickeöverlappande, minnesspår för stimuli som påminner om varandra. Trots denna mekanism, händer det att minnen överlappar och detta skapar ofta interferens i samband med att vi försöker plocka fram ett specifikt minne. För att reducera interferens vid framplockning aktiveras en annan mekanism, nämligen inhibition av relateraPattern separation is a neural mechanism for creating distinct, non-overlapping, memory traces for similar inputs. Despite this, memories may overlap, and this often produces interference during retrieval of a particular target memory. To reduce interference during selective retrieval another mechanism comes into play, namely inhibition of related, competing memories. This inhibition is believed t

Problem: Under de senaste 50 åren har människan konsumerat mer än alla generationer tillsammans. En motreaktion har utvecklats mot det stereotypa ”du är vad du konsumerar eller äger”, vilket benämns som the sharing economy. Grundtanken är att dela på sina resurser för att använda dessa fullt ut. Fenomenet är relativt nytt, men har under de senaste åren haft stor inverkan på resenärers förändrade b

Abstract Denna uppsats fokuserar på Gustaf Wingrens lära om kallelsen vilken har sin grund i Wingrens avhandling Luthers lära om kallelsen från 1942. Det är ett textstudium där den övergripande frågeställnigen handlar om Wingrens syn på Guds handlande med människan i den yttre ordningen och i det inre samvetet. Det jag kommer fram till är på vilket sätt Guds rike, det jordiska och himmelska riket,

This Bachelor thesis is assigned to interpret and visualize the degree of contamination and degradation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH) in relationship with groundwater chemistry and signals from geophysical surveys. The relationships between pollutant, chemistry data and geophysical surveys were tested through linear regression. By using the Swedish National Food Agency limits for dri

Title: ABILITY > KNOWLEDGE - Can Learning Organizational Qualities be trained in the school system through Supplemental Instruction, and if so, how early? Issue of Thesis: The acceleration of the amount of knowledge that an organization in the 21st century needs to process is growing with exponential numbers. In order to survive, the organizations need to transform themselves into Learning Organi

The waste treatment facility, Sobacken, is located south of Borås, Sweden. At Sobacken there is a lake built to collect the leachate from the area. Leachate is a term for water that has the potential of carrying environmentally hazardous substances, in this case water that might have passed through waste. This thesis focused on the development of a hydrological model that from common climate vari

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats i pedagogik har varit att undersöka vilken betydelse mellanmänsklig kommunikation har för organisationer och verksamheter. Uppsatsens utgångspunkt hamnar varken i traditionell arbetslivspedagogik eller organisationslärande. Dessa två inriktningar är en del av uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter men även pedagogisk retorik och relationell pedagogik används för att

This thesis examines the emerging scene of ensemble playing in Swedish traditional music from the beginning of the 1980s until present day. It is focused around eight interviews with some of the most influential musicians on the scene. All of them are still active today both as performers and teachers. The theoretical framework is mainly based around two different standpoints; Narrative analysis a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vart tog alla humlorna vägen? När såg du senast en humla? Har du en känsla av att du egentligen borde ha sett dem oftare? Det kan finnas en fullkomligt naturlig förklaring till den här känslan: humlorna minskar i antal och håller långsamt på att försvinna. Jag vill undersöka om detta verkligen håller på att hända. Riskerar vi att få leva i en framtid helt utaAbstract Bumble bees pollinate a wide range of crops; many of them being of importance to the global economy. It is believed that pollinators, including bumble bees, are declining due to habitat loss and transformation of high quality habitats into low quality habitats; a phenomenon often associated with modern agricultural practices. Some sources, however, claim that not all bumble bee species a

This study examines the work with the environmental goals in five small municipalities in northwestern Skåne, Sweden. The environmental goals are set nationally and are adjusted at a regional level. The municipalities then adjust the national and regional goals in varied extent to meet the local circumstances. The implementation and success of the work with environmental goals at local level is cr

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka huruvida Stockholms hyresreglering har någon faktisk integrerande effekt i jämförelse med Oslos avreglerade hyresmarknad. Metod: I denna komparativa studie har vi samlat in tidsseriedata från hyresmarknaderna i Stockholm och Oslo och data på inkomstfördelningen i de båda städerna för att avgöra hur de olika systemen påverkar ekonomisk segregation. Te

In 2006 a new legislation regarding prohibition of discrimination and violations in schools was formed. A new conception regarding this, and the right for pupils to get damages, was also included in this new law. The thesis of this paper is to analyze the courts argumentation surrounding this new area of legislation. 14 sentences, both from upper and lower courts, have been the underlying empirica

Storms cause severe damages and cost lives. In order to assess the severity of storms, historical data sets such as reanalysis data can be employed. This kind of data is based on numerical weather prediction models. The realism of model data is limited by the spatial resolution of the model. A numerical weather prediction model is only as precise as its grid distance, meaning that a model cannot d
