The purpose of this study is to compare the different short-term interest rate models, and to identify the better model within multiple countries. We selected three different types of data from the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. We compare the models with the historical data within these three countries, and figure out whether different countries could have their own best mode
With this research I have answered the twofold question of how Cuba played a part in the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what differences and similarities that can be found between the Cuban draft of Human Rights versus the final product of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most
The literary heroic ideal changed with the Great War, as the Victorian hero ideal was no longer plausible in a post-war world. The new ideal was pacifist and non-heroic but not everyone who had been through the Great War agreed that there was no heroicism. This essay discusses the development of the heroic ideal in the mid twentieth century in relation to the two brothers Boromir and Faramir in J.
Då andelen äldre ökar globalt kommer allt fler personer vara i behov av medicinteknisk utrustning, såsom hygienstolar, för att genomföra olika basala hygienrelaterade aktiviteter. Kommodpannor är vanliga tillbehörsprodukter till hygienstolar som traditionellt har fästs under hygienstolens sitts med hjälp av skenor, en fästmetod som medför hygienproblem samt en klämrisk för vårdtagaren.This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
Abstract Customer demands for board adapted for their specific needs make a flexible production with many different qualities advantageous. The board quality changes can include a change in the composition or only a change in grammage. A grade change is a product quality change in a paper or board machine. Grade changes may however cause problems in the production. When changing the production fro
The worlds shipping must reach a 55 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2050. This is a massive challenge that will have an effect on every ship, every shipowner and every yard all over the world. At the same time, it appears to be challenging to implement new technologies and the transition is so far too slow for the industry to reach its target. The purpose of this study examines how shipping
During the summer of 2018, Sweden’s crisis management experienced a massive challenge due to widespread forest fires. After the fires the Swedish public authority, Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB), got an expanded mandate and therefore ability to operate the Swedish crisis management system. This essay aims to find the answer to why MSB got this mandate and what was the reason beh
The society is constantly changing because of the globalization and the requirements of specialization increases. In regional growth policies regional expansion is advocated as a mean of increasing economic growth. Increased mobility is a prerequisite for regional expansion, something that conflicts with established climate and transport policy objectives. This essay examines how municipalities in
I samband med Ädelreformen öppnades möjligheter att införa Medicinskt ansvarig för rehabilitering (MAR) i den kommunala hälso- och sjukvården. Kunskapen om hur MAR påverkade arbetsterapeuter i deras arbete var outforskad. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuter upplevde att MAR påverkade deras arbete och yrkesroll. Studien hade en kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervj
The global climate change negotiations are experiencing a rescaling of international actors. Several of these actors are scientific communities that aim at providing policy recommendations based on expert knowledge for the negotiations. The literature within the science-policy nexus is applied to investigate the significance of expert communities however the literature does not target environmenta
This thesis investigates Twitter posting in Greek during the period of the Greek referendum in 2015 and in particular between June 27, when the referendum was announced, and July 6, one day after the referendum was completed, and how the Greek people use various external sources to express themselves (i.e. political thoughts, actions, inquires). The main research question is “What is the role of i
This study seeks, with an internet based survey containing ten pages taken from five different manga, to identify if people who read manga (Japanese comics) absorb every part of a presented manga page. It will attempt to see how well they understand various aspects of the Japanese language and what the readers focus lies on within each page, as well as touch upon the subject of using manga as a to
At Haväng in eastern Scania, South Sweden, an underwater landscape occurs on the seabed. The landscape consists of deep-rooted pines standing in organic deposits. Due to sea level changes, the area was exposed during two phases (11,700 to 10,700 and 10,000 to 8,500 years ago) so that pines could live there, to subsequently drown and end up submerged. This study aims to show how the Baltic Sea form
The evaporative gas turbine (EvGT), also known as the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle, is a novel advanced gas turbine cycle that has attracted considerable interest for the last decade. This high-efficiency cycle shows the potential to be competitive with Diesel engines or combined cycles in small and intermediate scale plants for power production and/or cogeneration. A 0.6 MW natural gas-fired EvG
BACKGROUND: To investigate, in a rabbit model, the effect of two different doses of vigabatrin (VGB) on retinal function and morphology. METHODS: Twenty-nine rabbits of mixed strain were divided into two groups, receiving either high-dose (n = 15) or low-dose (n = 14) oral VGB treatment (cumulative dose 29.8 +/- 2.9 g and 14.2 +/- 0.6 g respectively). Ten rabbits receiving water served as control
The modeling of soot formation and oxidation under industrially relevant conditions has made significant progress in recent years. Simplified models introducing a small number of transport equations into a CFD Code have been used with some success in research configurations simulating a reciprocating diesel engine. Soot formation and oxidation in the turbulent flow is calculated on the basis of a
Our aim was to analyze retinal structure in young patients with Best disease with reference to future gene therapy. This was a retrospective observational spectral domain optical coherence tomography study of four patients aged 10 years or less with Best disease. Findings ranged from subtle thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor interdigitation line, to subretinal
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på ifall man kan tala om ett oberoendekrav på styrelseledamöter i svenska börsbolag utifrån aktiebolagslagen och Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning. Jag har valt att använda mig att rättskälleläran med inslag av rättsvetenskaplig metod. De klassiska rättskällorna lag, förarbeten och doktrin har legat till grund för uppsatsen, kompletterat
