Denna masteruppstats ämnar utröna lönsamheten och de faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten vid ingåendet av en kort position i finansiella derivat på den nordiska elmarknaden samtidigt som motsvarade position anskaffas genom handel på Nord Pools day-ahead (DA) marknad och via så kallade pay-as-produce Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), samt genom tillämpandet av batterilager för att mitigera effekterna This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spike

EU Copyright and Competition Law - "Under which conditions may a refusal to license copyright-protected content constitute an abuse of a dominant position?"

The topic that this thesis aims to investigate is that of the intersection of intellectual property rights (more specifically copyright) and EU competition law. The research is carried out with the purpose of exploring the following two questions; namely to what extent the interest of further competition is reflected internally within the scope of copyright protection, as well as, under what condi

From Kink and Fetish to BIPOC and Trans: The Diversification of a Multi-Generational Nonprofit

Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become an important part of justice work in today’s society. Nevertheless, many non-profits still fail to diversify. While previous research has examined methods for an organization to successfully diversify, there has been a distinct lack of research on how these methods play out in an intersectional manner. This study aims to better understand these processe

Around year 2005, there was a significant increase in the production of liquid biofuels. Hence, the thesis aims to explore the reasons behind the increase. Acts of government have been analysed while enlisting the help of summaries and overviews accessed through v

Loneliness cannot be seen, but it can be talked about

Studies and public health reports indicate that newly arrived refugees in Sweden experience poorer health and well-being compared to the general population, particularly among women. Research has also demonstrated that migrants' health not only starts off deprived upon arrival but also deteriorates over time. This thesis investigates the health challenges faced by immigrant women in Malmö and

Determination of Oxidized Phosphatidylcholines and Lysophosphatidylcholines in Exhaled Particles : Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method

Introduction: Identification and quantification of OxPCs and LPCs in the lung surfactant with non-invasive sampling techniques and validated analytical methods are of great importance in terms of exploring biomarkers of oxidative stress in lung and other lung related diseases. Background: Although there are some well-structured analytical methods for the detection and quantification of OxPCs, the

Canada’s Approach to Idealistic Public Diplomacy: Projecting Values Through Strategic Narratives

In the 21st century, soft power is at the heart of public diplomacy. For political players to exert influence on the global stage, strategic narratives allow for indispensable opportunities to increase foreign support to achieve national and international agendas. This is especially beneficial for small and middle-power states to leverage soft power through public diplomacy initiatives to capture

Cr-substituted Fe3O4 nanoparticles : The role of particle size in the formation of FexO sub-domains and the emergence of exchange bias

Here we study the influence of particle size on the formation of antiferromagnetic FexO subdomains and the emergence of exchange bias in novel ferrimagnetic Cr-substituted Fe3O4 nanoparticles generated using an aerosol technique based on spark ablation. Cooling in an applied magnetic field across the Néel temperature of the FexO subdomains results in significant shifts in the hysteresis loops, whi

Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium. The efficiency of this separation process depends on the relative acoust
