A frequently asked question is if owning real estate is a good asset to diversify one's portfolio from the stock market. A common perception is that it favors the portfolio since the two assets are segmentated. Earlier studies came to the conclusion that there is a weak or even negative correlation which is often considered as the basis for this argument. The question is if the stock market an

Matchfixning är ett är problem som hotar att rubba fotbollens integritet fundamentalt. Fotbollens värdegrund är och ska alltid vara kännetecknat av tävling på lika villkor vilket ska locka fram det bästa av utövarna. Matchfixning riskerar att omkullkasta den här värdegrunden. Vadhållningsrelaterad matchfixning innebär att en idrottslig aktör medvetet underpresterar i en tävling, i enlighet med en Match fixing is an issue that threatens to fundamentally distort the integrity of football. The basic principles and common values of football are, and should always be, characterized by competition on equal terms, designed to bring the players to perform at their absolute top. Match fixing puts this core value at risk of being toppled over. Match fixing related to betting implies that an athlete

Parallelltak är en takkonstruktion som är väl använd vid nyproduktion av småhus. Takkonstruktionen är svåråtkomlig för inspektion och risk föreligger för fuktskador. Det ställs i BBR höga krav på fuktsäkerhet i takkonstruktioner samtidigt som det saknas tydliga riktlinjer för hur kraven ska uppfyllas. Fuktsäkerheten i parallelltak har undersökts i en mängd tidigare studier där luftomsättningen i Parallel roofs are commonly used in Sweden when constructing new small house buildings and are also difficult to access for inspection. Furthermore, high demands are set in the Swedish building regulations, although there are no clear guidelines for their compliance. Many previous studies investigating moisture safety in parallel roofs applies a constant air exchange in the ventilated air cavity.

This thesis addresses different aspects of the legal perspective on the patentability, valuation, and scope of biotech patents in the European Union and the United States when mergers & acquisitions transactions are in question. To facilitate mergers & acquisition of a biotechnology company a specific regulatory environment must be established, particularly what effects the most such trans

According to researches, China is aging faster than any other country in history. Meanwhile, China has been a country with a close-family-ties-tradition for over thousand years. However, as the family structures are getting smaller, people’s lifestyle is also changing over time. Nowadays, the word ‘a distance of a bowl of soup’ is quite popular in between all generations. It represents an ideal wa

Sustainable development requires a change of values, norms, and capabilities within individuals and societies, and education is a crucial means to achieve these goals. However, transformation is not a simple task as dominant structures due to path-dependency and lock-in processes resist change, put pressure on innovative approaches, and hinder their potential for change. Thus the question is how s

The transgression of Earth’s nine planetary boundaries is a phenomena that will have consequences shared by us all. Contemporary political and economic paradigms vow for the substitution of Earth’s limited natural capital with growing human capital for our self-aggrandizing interests. Based on the lack of collective action towards sustainability, international bodies such as the Intergovernmental

I en undersökning från 2012 som publicerats av Statskontoret uppgavs det att Sveriges markanvisningssystem hade fått kritik för att vara för oförutsebart och det ifrågasattes om dåvarande system gynnade konkurrens och likabehandling av byggherrar. För att öka transparens och konkurrens samt för att hitta ett verktyg som kan utgöra ett bra stöd för kommunerna, infördes 1 januari 2015 lag (2014:899)This master thesis evaluates the outcome of the Law (2014:899) on guidelines for municipal land use that were adopted in 2015. According to this, all the municipalities who work with the land allocation processes, must adopt guidelines for this process. The law does not regulate in detail and it is therefore open for interpretations. The reason to adopt the law was to increase transparency, predic

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om körsång kan användas som ett verktyg för att motverka psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar genom elevhälsan. Vidare undersöktes även huruvida körpedagoger ser fördelar med att beakta körsångens hälsoeffekter i sin egen undervisning, och hur möjligheten för att använda körsång inom elevhälsan i dagens gymnasieskola ser ut. För att genomföra studien gjordes tre kThe purpose of this study is to investigate if choir singing can be used as a tool to prohibit mental illness or bad mental health amongst youths through student health services. The study also investigates if choir teachers can see benefits of teaching choir with choir singings health effects in mind, and what the possibility is to use choir singing as a tool in today’s high schools (Swedish gymn

Products and systems form the bridge between production and consumption, helping to shape our society and lifestyles. Biomimicry uses design principles based on those seen in nature, aiming to emulate the natural sustainability seen from the 3.8 billion years of life on earth. However, there is no current measure to determine how sustainable applications of biomimicry actually are. The aim of this

Indonesia, as per their stance on the Paris Agreement and social development goals (SDG), has been on a winding journey to meet their renewable energy targets. In providing the national electricity, the state electricity company (PLN) is still deriving more than 70% of its energy sources from coal and oil As per 2018, only up to 8% of on-grid power is generated from renewable energy sources, and t

This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale

After almost two years living in Malmö, I discovered Nyhamnen by reading about the municipality plans for the area in a local newspaper. The mere realization that I was not aware of such a large area, only five minutes walking from the central station was both surprising and challenging. Since then, the aim of this thesis has been to develop an urban proposal that even though it is an academic exe

I takt med att agila metoder utvecklats har flertalet agila ramverk utformats. I och med detta har även ledarskapet genomgått en utveckling. Utvecklingen av ledarskapet har lett till mer engagerade och självorganiserade team. Ett av de agila ramverken är SCRUM. I ramverket har scrum mastern i uppgift att skapa ett meningsfullt ledarskap genom att bland annat visa empati, bygga gemenskap och låta t

In this thesis, we consider a deep learning approach to predict material properties. Primarily we study artificial neural networks (ANN), which predict the energy distance to the convex hull (measure of stability) of perovskites. Further, we explore if the networks can be generalised to predict band gaps and unit cell volume. We also demonstrate total energy calculations using density functional t
