Handeln med varumärkesförfalskade produkter, som länge har ansetts som en ganska harmlös företeelse som konsumenten varit väl införstådd med, har utvecklats till en väloljad miljardindustri där såväl rättighetsinnehavaren, samhället och konsumenten riskerar att lida skada. De varumärkesförfalskade produkterna består inte längre av dåligt imiterade solglasögon utan av professionellt utformade kopioCounterfeiting has long been considered a rather harmless phenomenon. However, counterfeiting has evolved from a small-scale activity into one on an industrial scale. It has come to pose a serious threat, not only to the interests of the right holder, but to the consumers and the society as a whole. Counterfeit products are no longer just poorly crafted copies of sunglasses; today they are profess

Aim: Phantoms are used daily in the clinic for radiotherapy. As more realistic phantoms are requested, 3D printing could be used but the design of a realistic phantom is difficult. The purpose of this project was to design and 3D print an anthropomorphic phantom that could be used for verification of complex treatment such as stereotactic arrhythmic radioablation treatments without the use of pati

Japan’s influence in Southeast Asia has been enormous throughout history, whether in its military occupation, culture, or economic ties, and there is no doubt that Southeast Asia has developed under its influence. Have Southeast Asian states then developed and improved their human rights situation because of Japan? Or has Japan aggravated the situation being “blue washed”, by performing its busine

English Summary This master thesis concerns the lives of spouses to someone who is incurably sick and dying. The study took place in the homes of married couples where one of them is incurably sick with cancer. I have visited the couples talked with them and interviewed them, some together and some separately. This has made the empirical foundation for the present thesis. It becomes clear that th

A recombinant Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase, BVMO4 from Dietzia sp. D5 has been previously reported. The enzyme exhibited good thermostability and was active with a wide range of cyclic ketone substrates but catalysed poorly the conversion of cyclohexanone to caprolactone. The present work focuses on protein engineering of BVMO4 to improve the conversion of cyclohexanone. Thus, a structural model

Ecosystem phenology plays an important role in carbon exchange processes and can be derived from continuous records of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange data. In this study we examined the potential use of phenological indices for characterizing cumulative annual CO2 exchange in four contrasting northern peatland ecosystems. We used the approach of Jonsson and Eklundh (2004) to derive a set of phenolo

An archaeological excavation made within contract archaeology almost invariably means that the site is destroyed. This means that the documentation, which can be seen as the site’s remaining archive, is extremely important. In this master’s thesis the written digital documentation from eight excavations made within Swedish contract archaeology between 2000 and 2013 is examined using the technique

Previously, a method for computing binding free energies between different poses of a ligand bound to a protein using alchemical perturbation was developed. The methodology is to perturb the ligand into a smaller version, common to both poses, from which the difference in free energy between poses can be computed. Here, the method is further improved by finding low-error setups for the method, by

The recent European sovereign-debt crisis has made it clear that exposures towards sovereigns contain credit risk. However, according to the Basel framework's standardized approach banks are not required to hold any regulatory capital for highly rated sovereigns. In response, this thesis develops a shadow rating approach model for sovereign probability of default estimation, subsequently deter

The thesis argues that systemic banking crises and inequality go hand in hand, with inequality in front. Through showing how factors commonly found to influence banking crises, such as household and business debt levels, asset prices, default ratios, and credit growth (all important in Minsky-type bubbles) theoretically can be attributed to decreasing relative wages of households, and/or concentra

This thesis explores the parametric and nonparametric approaches for estimating Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall through foreign exchange exposure. The data for this study was provided by Trelleborg Group. We look at the translational risk on the balance sheet when translating the Groups investments in foreign subsidiaries to SEK. In the parametric approach we make the assumption that the po

The vegetation component in climate models has advanced since the late 1960s from a uniform prescription of surface parameters to plant functional types (PFTs) PFTs are used in global land-surface models to provide parameter values for every model grid cell With a simple photosynthesis model we derive parameters for all site years within the Fluxnet eddy covariance data set We compare the model pa

Genom att lägga ut verksamhet utomlands hoppas företag på att bli mer konkuranskraftiga då detta kan innebära lägre kostnader, expansionsmöjligheter och tillgång till välutbildad och flexibel personal. Detta benämns som offshoring vilket står i centrum i detta arbete. Offshoring av IT verksamhet är ett aktuellt och växande fenomen i dagens globaliserade värld. Som många andra IT projekt så är det
