The rapid growth in hedge funds has triggered an international debate on the risks involved with their operations and potential negative effects on the financial system. The rise and fall of Long Term Capital Management - which prompted the US Federal Reserve to engineer a bail-out - still haunts the sector 10 years on. Simultaneously we have to admit that markets and investors benefit from a wide

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze how Instagram as a platform refer to the traditional flagship store regarding the transmit of a fashion house brand identity. More specific will the thesis investigate and analyze the Swedish fashion house Totême’s digital presence and communication in relation to the flagship store on Biblioteksgatan 5 in Stockholm, Sweden. Furthermore, was the thesis

Hur väl fungerar tillämpningen av ersättningsreglerna för miljö- och företagsskada? När en väg anläggs, omläggs eller breddas kan det orsaka olägenheter för närliggande fastigheter. Finns det en klar och samlad tillämpning av ersättningsreglerna som aktualiseras vid dessa situationer? Den huvudsakliga frågan som examensarbetet undersöker är hur marknadsvärdeminskningen på småhus till följd av During the construction, realignment, or widening of roads, various disturbances can occur that affect the market value of nearby properties. These disturbances typically include things such as increased noise, vibration, changes in soil conditions, increased sensitivity to wind, and all contibute to severe disruption of the property. In order to provide appropriate compensation to property owners

EU har antagit mål att till år 2030 minska koldioxidutsläppen med 40%, Sverige har gått steget längre och beslutat att år 2045 ska nettoutsläppen av koldioxid i landet vara noll. Av världens totala utsläpp står betongtillverkningen för 7% vilket innebär att det är ett område med stor potential till förbättring. Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att bidra med kunskapsutveckling kring återanvändThe EU has established a binding target to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030, Sweden has taken one step further and has decided to be carbon neutral by 2045. 7 % of the world´s total CO2 emissions comes from concrete production which makes it a field with great potential to improvement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the requirements for reusing concrete elements in practice in the c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ljusets växelverkan med materia är fascinerande och av oerhörd stor betydelse i naturen. Genom vår optiska synförmåga, kan vi och andra organismer få tillgång till en enorm mängd information om vår omgivning. Informationen inkluderar först och främst den geometriska strukturen på världen och dess föremål, men även informationen i färgerna spelar stor roll. Med hjälp av This thesis deals with optical spectroscopy and imaging of complex and strongly scattering turbid media. Focus is mainly placed on three topics, being i) diffuse optical spectroscopy of choroidal tumors, ii) gas spectroscopy in scattering materials using the GASMAS (gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy) technique, and iii) luminescence diffuse optical imaging and tomography of tissues.

A method to study total deposition of aerosol attached radon progeny in children and adults have been validated and used in home environments. Two persons, one child and one adult are tested simultaneously, thus inhaling from the same aerosol and allowing for a direct comparison. The aim of the study was to increase the knowledge of the lung deposition and thereby the knowledge of the radiation do

Background: High activity of cysteine proteases such as legumain and the cathepsins have been shown to facilitate growth and invasion of a variety of tumor types. In breast cancer, several recent studies have indicated that loss of the cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin E/M leads to increased growth and metastasis. Although cystatin E/M is normally expressed in the skin, its role in cysteine pro

Attaining high peak bone mass (PBM), the highest bone mass value in life which is reached in young adulthood, is important as it reduces the risk of having low bone mass in old age69, 80. Low bone mass is associated with high fracture risk3, 60. Osteoporosis is the result of bone loss, a physiological process related to aging and/or low PBM. It would therefore be of great value to identify childre

Background: The most common intrarenal cause for acute kidney injury/renal failure is tubular damage. The kidney tubules are arranged as compartments of cellular mosaics to perform their functions, and at rest almost a fifth of the human ATP consumption is allotted to the reabsorption of substances from the filtrate, rendering especially the proximal tubules highly sensitive to oxygen and/or nutri

Attosecond pulses are used to study electron dynamics in atoms and molecules. In this thesis, schemes to control the generation of attosecond pulses and pulse-shaping techniques to compress the pulses are presented. Generation of attosecond pulses requires high intensity, which is reached by focusing a pulsed femtosecond laser. The emitted pulses come isolated or in an attosecond pulse train (APT

When the United Nations was created in 1945, states were the only significant decision-makers. Even with the construction of the human rights regime in the aftermath of the Second World War, states were designated as the only duty-bearers who could violate international human rights law. States alone were held responsible for implementing human rights principles by enforcing treaty-based obligatio
