The purpose of the report is to study whether it is economically profitable to start operate traffic on the Staffanstorp Line, the railway between Staffanstorp and Malmö. Also what resources and measures that are required will be studied. The activities that have been carried out are a literature study, a visit to the Staffanstorp Line and several calculations in form of cost estimates and costben

Abstract Through today’s Cloud platforms, one can easily gain access to several services that eases collaboration and data storage. This thesis focuses on developing and deploying a web application, with the help of a cloud platform, which is able to search through data with the purpose of redirecting a telephone call. The thesis is done in collaboration with Telavox, who wants to broaden the prod

Business and management are key in the transition toward a more sustainable world. Educating leaders of tomorrow, business schools bear a profound responsibility to endow students with the right tools and knowledge to successfully manage the challenges of tomorrow. As students and staff recently raised the question if Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) does justice to its r

I början av 2018 utbröt en debatt om kulturrådets utdelning av litteraturstöd i svenska dagstidningar. I samband med uttalanden från kulturminister Alice Bah Kuhnke menade vissa av bokmarknadens aktörer att litteraturstödet är utsatt för politisk styrning och att kvalitetskriteriet bortprioriteras. Uppsatsen undersöker de olika förväntningarna och föreställningarna som finns på litteraturstödet. J

During the last decades, the construction industry has struggled with negative press concerning an unethical work environment and inadequate management. The unethical work environment leads to unsatisfied employees, and both internal and external activities are rising to solve this problem.

The aim of this study is to add to the body of knowledge on racisms in Denmark with the hope that further conceptual developments on ‘hygge racism’ can be made. In order to achieve this general aim, I analyse ‘hygge racism’ based on chosen concepts that show how it is reproduced and normalised in Denmark, thus dealing with it on structural and cultural levels, while also showing how it is a discur

Single chain fragment variable (scFv) antibodies from the library Hel11 are used in microarray applications for biomarker discovery. However, some scFv antibodies have been difficult to produce at sufficient yields and purity levels. In order to optimize the production of problematic scFv antibodies, three Hel11 scFv antibodies (PC244, PC253, and PC274) were chosen and the impact of the following

This paper presents a comparison of ranking between two different performance measures, Sharpe Ratio and Certainty Equivalent Returns, on U.S. tech sector funds. Firstly, we compared the ranking of funds based on the Sharpe Ratio family, i.e. the traditional Sharpe Ratio, Reward-to-VaR and Reward-to-ES. The strong correlation between the rankings is in line with the previous studies. Further, by c

I dagens I-länder är neurologiska sjukdomar en av de främsta orsakerna bakom dödsfall. Enligt statistik från ”Disabled World” påverkas upp till 1 miljard människor världen över av någon form av neurologisk sjukdom, vilket inkluderar allt från epilepsi och migrän till Alzheimer och stroke. Till följd av detta är medicin för att såväl förhindra som att motverka skador från neurologiska sjukdomar enAQP4 is a protein in the brain which regulate the diffusion of water in and out of cells. Through studies using AQP4 null mice, a correlation between the regulation of AQP4 and the survival rate of cerebral edemas has been noted. Due to the fact that there are three different kinds of cerebral edemas, and that they require different kinds of regulation of AQP4 in order to lessen the problem, the r

Studien ämnade att undersöka huruvida det går att predicera kreativitet utifrån variablerna typ av regulatory focus, typ av motivation och öppenhet för erfarenhet då kreativitet som egenskap kan vara problematisk att mäta. Syftet med undersökningen var att företag ska kunna använda denna kunskap vid rekryteringar, bemötande av personal och samarbetsfrågor. För detta syfte använde studien sig av reThe study aimed to explain whether it is possible to predict Creativity based on the variables Regulatory Focus style, Motivation style and Openness for Experience since the trait creativity can be troublesome to measure. The ambition was that companies will find this information useful when recruiting new co-workers, handling employees and when dealing with cooperation matters. To serve this purp

This thesis investigates the influence of personality, preference for working in virtual teams, alone or in face-to-face teams on work motivation and team climate of individuals working in virtual teams. This study used mixed methods, by collecting experiences of virtual team members in regard to inhibitors and success factors of their team and data from personality and motivational scales. The re

This paper stems from understanding how fast fashion retailers market their sustainability and how the retail space drives different forms of sustainable performances and consumption. Departing from a practice-based approach and practice theory, the study gives insights on how retailers actions in the production chain are translated in-store and online for consumers sense-making, performances and

The aim of this study was to examine what factors ex-offenders consider has facilitate and prevent their turning points for leaving a criminal life. In addition, the purpose was also to investigate how ex-offenders experienced prison as a factor for re-entry in society. From those two perspectives of view we also wanted to ascertain if prison or factors that are non-legal are the most successful f

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka de attityder, hinder och möjligheter som yrkesarbetare och platsledning ser i och med yrkesarbetares användande av mobiltelefoner i den dagliga verksamheten. Målet är att resultatet ska bidra till förståelse för de svårigheter och barriärer som kan uppkomma vid implementering av digitala verktyg, att finna tillvägagångssätt för att minimera dessa samt för a

Den snabba utvecklingen av nya digitala verktyg leder till nya möjligheter för fjärrvärmebranschen inom områden som laststyrning och feldetektering. För dessa ändamål behövs tillförlitliga modeller som beskriver centralerna. Syftet med denna studie är att utveckla en grupp matematiska modeller som beskriver uppmätta värden och deras utveckling över tid, för en väl fungerande fjärrvärmecentral. FörIn the rise of digitalization, new possibilities are being discovered for district heating in areas like demand side management and fault detection. For these purposes it is necessary to have reliable models describing the substations. In this thesis, the aim is to develop a group of mathematical models to describe measured quantities and their progress through time, for a well performing substati

This thesis explores what it means to struggle for food sovereignty under belligerent occupation. It makes the argument that the deliberate suppression of agriculture in the West Bank (occupied Palestinian territories) and ensuing deterioration of food sovereignty can be understood as an example of “slow violence,” further entrenching the settler-colonial occupation of Palestine. The settler-colon

Understanding events’ impact on financial instruments are crucial for the participants in the financial markets. Here we propose an approach to model an anticipated event’s impact on the prices of FX options, represented in implied volatility. The model is implemented for anticipated event’s with both Black and Scholes and SABR as the assumed underlying dynamic. The model generates an implied vola
