Bitcoin has become a mainstream in the financial world. It has several similarities with Gold as low correlation with stocks, inflation hedge, government decentralization and the no currency attachment. Therefore, the name of the new “Digital Gold”. This study compares Gold and Bitcoin, offered as an alternatives financial assets. Thus, there are two research questions. First, if Bitcoin helps to

During this project, flows of textile waste in Sweden were mapped and analysed. Much of the information in the report was based on a literature review performed in the beginning of the project. It was concluded that textile waste should firstly be re-used, thereafter recycled and as a last option incinerated. Turning textile waste into biofuel is not a reasonable option compared to incineration wi

Hushållsberedskap för översvämningar – hur ser den egentligen ut och varför? Översvämningen i Malmö 2014 visade sig vara den enskilt största faktorn till den hushållsberedskap som finns i Malmös högriskområden, tillsammans med tidigare erfarenheter av andra översvämningar. Hushållsberedskapen är viktig för det enskilda hushållet men de mest utsatta hushållen är beroende av kommunens mer omfattandeAs global warming and more extreme weather makes the threat of flooding more prominent, it is vital to identify what can be done and by whom. The individual household preparedness is a big factor that this study aims to evaluate. The core of this study includes interviews with people living in high-risk areas for flooding in Malmoe, Sweden. The aim was to map out the motives behind the preparednes

The goal of this thesis is to design an artificial neural network for self-driving vehicles in regards to steering the vehicle. The performance of the networks is evaluated on a simulated race track in addition to more conventional metrics such as cost/loss. In the main part of the project the networks were trained on data from real-life driving and validated/tested on simulated data, which is an

Introduction: In recent years, the e-commerce industry has developed at extremely high speed all over the world and becomes the sunrise industry. Besides, there is a megatrend that customers are pursuing better experience along the whole shopping journey. Statistics show that good reverse logistics service is an efficient way to improve customers satisfaction level. Among the reverse logistics, th

Snabba cykelstråk, eller snabbcykelleder, är benämningar som beskriver cykelstråk anpassade för längre transporter med god framkomlighet, tillgänglighet och säkerhet. Detta examensarbete undersöker framkomligheten på denna förhållandevis nya typ av cykelstråk. Syftet är att konkretisera behoven och brister i utformningen utifrån ett framkomlighetsperspektiv. Till grund för arbetet har teorin om fr

In this thesis, the Wideband Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (WSEMA) estimator is introduced. It combines two recently developed techniques, the wideband dictionary and the Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (SEMA) to make for an efficient estimator. WSEMA estimates the parameters of decaying sinusoids, without a priori-information about the number of modes present in the signal. WSEMA works with a

I denna kandidatuppsats visas vissa grundläggande satser inom algebraisk geometri. Satserna tillämpas slutligen på elliptiska kurvor, vilka är intressenta, bland annat för deras tillämplighet inom talteori, och speciellt kryptografi. Bezouts, Max Noethers, Pappus, Pascals och Chasles satser, vilka visas här, har varit kända länge. Det äldsta resultatet, Pappus sats, visades nämligen redan på 300-In this thesis we state and give elementary proofs for some fundamental results about intersections of algebraic curves, namely Bezout's, Max Noether's, Pappus's, Pascal's and Chasles' theorems. Our main tools are linear algebra and basic ring theory. We conclude the thesis by applying the results to elliptic curves.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur pensionerade lärare som undervisat på låg- och mellanstadiet upplever och beskriver sin tillvaro. Deltagarnas upplevelser av övergången från arbete till pension, identiteten som pensionär samt möjligheter och svårigheter under pensionärslivet och hantering av dessa undersöks.

Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fPurpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how retired teachers, who had worked in a primary school setting, experience and describe their lives. The study investigates the transition from working to retired life, retiree identity and possibilities and difficulties in the retired life. Method: The study has a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five part

Bakgrund: Kommunikation är avgörande för ett fungerande teamsamarbete och brister i kommunikation kan leda till missförstånd och allvarliga konsekvenser. Forskning visar att brister i kommunikation kan leda till ineffektiva och försenade operationer samt att kommunikation är en sårbar punkt inom vården som kan hota patientsäkerheten. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa operationsteamets erfarenhe

The European Takeover Bids Directive has been at the centre of criticism since it was adopted on 21 April 2004. This study adds a voice to the enduring discourse on the extent to which the Directive is fit for purpose. Specifically, the study considers whether and, if so, how the Directive could be reformed in order to facilitate the exercise of the freedom of establishment of companies through ta

Kan patientdata användas för att prediktera förestående behov av sjukhusvård hos njursjuka patienter? En stor hälsofara bland världens befolkning är kronisk njursjukdom, som både kostar pengar och orsakar lidande. Predikterande system kan användas för att hitta de patienter som har en hög risk att bli inlagda på sjukhus.End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a chronic kidney disease which results in lifelong care and regular dialysis treatments. It is both an expensive and extensive diagnosis that causes a lot of suffering for the patients. The workload on the healthcare system is increasing drastically, due to a population that lives longer with more chronic diseases. In this project, input data to an AI system was i

Korea is characterized by the state's low responsibility for welfare provision and low political trust, while Sweden exemplifies a welfare state with universal welfare provision and high political trust. These characteristics in Sweden arouse interest in the question of whether political trust is causally linked to welfare attitudes and what factors influence political trust. Thus, the present

This thesis will deal with two competition law issues, a substantive one as well as a procedural and somehow political one. The substantive issue is the joint sale of television rights of football clubs from a EU competition law perspective. The procedural subject of this thesis is the impact of Regulation 1/2003 on competition law enforcement and on the uniform application of the competition rule

With the shift from collective to individual, people started to increasingly reflect on their position in the society and potential for individual growth. Previously inaccessible services and initiatives promoting self-development emerged. However, women were found to have rather limited access to those opportunities, due to boundaries of social and cultural nature. In tourism and risk studies, th

The new-economy encompasses a variety of industries, particularly pharmaceuticals and online-based companies. These may hold strong market positions, or be strong future competitors, despite having low turnover. Where foreclosure techniques to curtail competition are employed, the concentration may result in a long-lasting anti-competitive impact on the market. However, due to low or insufficient
