The Black-Scholes model has been the fundamental framework for option pricing since its publication 1973, but it is known to have shortcomings. To correct for this, plenty of research in option pricing theory has been focused on calibrating a stochastic process to match asset behavior in the financial markets better than the geometric Brownian motion that Black-Scholes assume describe asset behavi

Bestämmer genetiken hur väl frisörer och sotare klarar av sina jobb? Frisörer och sotare är två yrkesgrupper med hög exponering för kemikalier som kan tas upp genom huden. Huden har en inbyggd skyddsbarriär som ska förhindra att skadliga ämnen tas upp i kroppen. Ett viktigt protein i hudskyddsbarriären är filaggrin. Den här studien visar att frisörer och sotare skiljer sig i antalet bärare av sk

In 2007, the Swedish government implemented a tax reform on consumer services, which is known as RUT-avdraget. The aim of the reform was to reduce the size of the informal market and allow households to get more hours accessible for further work on the market. Research has mainly been conducted regarding the reform’s socioeconomic effects on areas such as integration and gender equality. However,

Under en period mellan 1700-talet till början av 1900-talet upptecknades en mängd folksånger och danslåtar i Östergötland, min hembygd. Syftet med detta arbete är att artikulera kunskap om en scenmusikalisk process som i sin tur haft som mål att synliggöra detta material: genom att välja ut, arrangera, programsätta och tillsammans med medmusiker framföra östgötska visor har jag i en processbeskrivDuring the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, many folk songs and dances were collected in the Swedish county of Östergötland, which is my home county. The purpose of this investigation is to articulate knowledge about how this historical material can be communicated. Therefore, in this case study I describe and discuss my selection, arranging, rehearsing and performing some of these songs, and how I

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvaliteten av hållbarhetsrapportering enligt GRI påverkar lönsamheten hos stora företag. Legitimitetsteorin och intressentteorin har använts för att förklara varför företag upprättar hållbarhetsrapportering. Resultaten av studien uppvisar inga signifikanta samband mellan kvaliteten på hållbarhetsrapportering och lönsamhet.The purpose of this paper is to study how the quality of sustainability reporting affects profitability in large Swedish companies. Legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory have been used to explain why companies reports on sustainability. The results of the study show no significant connection between the quality of the sustainability report and profitability.

The study aims to shed more light on the relationship between Internet penetration and labor productivity by analyzing the aggregate cross-country panel data available for a wide range of countries in the period of 2001-2015.

The development and consumption of functional food are increasing. To meet such an increasing demand, vegetable milk extracted from quinoa and fermented with lactic acid bacteria can offer an excellent alternative to fermented dairy milk which has a high nutritive value and is free from lactose, gluten and cholesterol. This research aims at: (a) isolating and identifying the autochthonous microbio

Inom komplex analys och operatorteori studerar man vanligtvis begränsade linjära operatorer mellan Banachrum bestående av analytiska funktioner. Detta görs för att kunna erhålla information om själva Banachrummets struktur. Ett klassiskt exempel är Cesaros medelvärdes operator på H^p , ett Hardyrum bestående av analytiska funktioner. En generalisering av denna operator är det så kallade Cesaros Inspired by the study of generalized Cesaro operator T_g introduced by Aleman and Siskakis we study a variation of this operator,namely P(g,a) , depending on an analytic symbol g and an n - tuple of complex numbers, a . Regarding the boundedness properties of this operator we prove that P(g,a) is a bounded linear operator from H^p to itself if and only if g is an analytic function of bounded mean

The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con

Bygg kabelkonstruktioner i trä! I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare med hållbara lösningar för att lyckas bromsa den globala uppvärmningen. Stål och betong står båda för stora klimatutsläpp och har efter industrialiseringen varit det dominerande valet av material för stora byggnader. Ett alternativt, hållbart material som lyfts fram att kunna vara framtidens material är trä. Ett exempel på eIn the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. Suspension structures is one type of structural solution that has high material efficiency, here the bending stiff properties of timber could also be utilized in order to increase the s
