In this report, the implementation of a technology called sensor-based sorting technology is analyzed from different perspectives. The technology can be used to identify individual particles in order to sort wanted material from unwanted material. Today, the technology is widely used in different industries such as the food industry, the recycling industry, and to some extent the mining and minera
Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur myndigheter och lagstiftaren kan agera för att undvika misslyckade upphandlingar. Det uppnås genom att studera det nuvarande regelverket i LOU och två upphandlingar som uppmärksammats medialt som misslyckade upphandlingar. Inledningsvis studeras LOU och det påpekas särskilt att varken förberedelse eller uppföljning av upphandling omfattas av regelverket. DärefteThe purpose of this thesis is to study how authorities and legislators can act to avoid failed public procurements. This is achieved by studying the current regulation and two public procurements that are regarded as failed public procurements by the media. Firstly, an account of current regulations for public procurement is made. Particular attention is paid to that neither preparation of procure
This report aims to investigate the possibilities to implement a high temperature heat pump at a Dow facility in Landskrona. By implementing a heat pump, waste heat from the production can be recovered and reused in the process. The question at issue is whether there will be enough energy available when needed due to an intermittent process, and if a heat pump will be feasible to implement. To inv
The purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u

Purpose: Investigate and clarify differences in the capital structure between non-profit and listed real estate companies on the Swedish market. Furthermore, the study intends to test how previous theories about capital structure with leverage as a dependent variable are able to explain the causal relationship between the studied forms of company and their capital structure. Method: A quantitativ
I mogna industrier prioriteras ofta verkningsgrad och processen snarare än själva produkten. Detta innebär att dessa industrier anpassar sig långsamt när de externa förhållandena skiftar. Exempel på sådan industri är Sveriges köttindustri. Denna präglas av stor klimatpåverkan, även stora mängder matsvinn. Nya teknologier undersökes i nuläget för att skärpa detta svinn; exempel på sådan teknologi äThe competitive landscape mature industries find themselves in tends to make them enforce practices that ruthlessly focus on efficiency and process. This narrow focus makes them slow to adapt to changes in the external environment in which they operate. One such case is the Swedish meat industry. Like many industries, there are downsides involved with meat production and for meat a significant one
The theoretical foundation of inflation targeting was laid out by the Swedish economist Knut Wicksell (1851–1926) in his groundbreaking treatise, Interest and Prices, published originally in German in 1898. Here he proposed price stability as the rule for monetary policy. Today, inflation targeting is considered the best-practice approach to monetary policy across the world. It has contributed to

For financial risk management it is of vital interest to have good estimates for the correlations between the stocks. It has been found that the correlations obtained from historical data are covered by a considerable amount of noise, which leads to a substantial error in the estimation of the portfolio risk. A method to suppress this noise is power mapping. It raises the absolute value of each ma
Textile exerts various environmental impacts throughout its life cycle. Prevention of textile waste is one means to reduce these impacts. This study seeks to map-out the flow of textile products in the three Nordic Countries – Denmark, Finland and Sweden – from the time they are put on the market until they are discarded. Based on the findings on the flows as well as on the perception of stakehold
The proportion of public procurement is nowadays more than substantial; it amounts to all the goods and services that the State, perceived as both: central and local administrations, demands in order to assure the effective and sustainable functioning of the society. Moreover, as the procurement procedures aim at simultaneously achieving best value for money and high standards in non-financial mat

This paper focuses on pricing of basket Credit Default Swaps. The credit market instruments such as CDSs and CDOs are introduced. The concepts of trading these derivatives in basket CDSs divided into tranches is also of big importance. Dierent pricing models are presented and compared. Those are Semi-Analytic Valuation model with a Copula approach used together with the methods compound and base c
Ubiquitous empirical evidence suggests that economic agents strive towards but often fail to maximize utility. Yet there is no consensus on how to best model deviations from optimal behaviour. This paper reviews and analyses the foundation of the utility maximization model and proposes a more general framework that is consistent with – but also allows for deviations from – utility maximization.
