In recent years, several interesting wearable products which originates from smartphone technology have been introduced on the market. One of these products which has increased in interest, but not yet received a commercial breakthrough, is smart glasses. As the technology is still young and undeveloped, few players have embarked on the market and there is still room for improvement. In this thesi
Swedish lexical word accents have been repeatedly said to have a low functional load. Even so, the language has kept these tones ever since they emerged probably over a thousand years ago. This article proposes that the primary function of word accents is for listeners to be able to predict upcoming morphological structures and narrow down the lexical competition rather than being lexically distinSwedish lexical word accents have been repeatedly said to have a lowfunctional load.

The purpose with this work has been to develop and construct a Niobium target for the production of [18F]fluoride with a MC 16 Scanditronix cyclotron. The future demand larger amounts of [18F]fluoride and to satisfy the forthcoming needs an enhanced target needs to be installed on the cyclotron. The old target could have provided the forthcoming needs but to obtain good margins it is important wit
Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. The water absorption leads to changes in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling) of the polyamide. In this work, the sorption and diffusion of water vapor are investigated through gravimetric experiments and numerical simulations. The mixture theory framework is adopted to d

The innovative efforts of the pharmaceutical sector have provided society with numerous new remedies and medicines. Innovation is considered to be of key importance to the sector. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how the relevant legal frameworks should be developed to account for the innovative need of the sector. In order to develop these frameworks it is important to understand the underlyin

The employment law in Sweden is very extensive compared to other countries. My aim with this essay is to compare the employment law for an employee with the employment protection for a CEO. The CEO is not protected by the employment Protection Act and therefore his terms of employment are completely up to the agreement he signs when he begins his employment. To do this I need to recite the main p
Today fingerprint matching software is widely used in applications such as mobile phones. Software for enrollment and verification of fingerprints is usually designed to work for "good" fingerprints, meaning that the fingerprint matching algorithms use minutiae locations. When such information is scarce due to scars, blisters or other damages, the algorithms do not work very well. In thi
In recent years new ways to deal with trade barriers, aside from the traditional tariff and quota reductions, has been introduced to trade negotiations. These have the collective name of trade facilitation and focuses on the less visible parts of barriers to trade. As this started to be discussed in policy circles economic research picked up interest as well. However, focus in the research has bee
Talking about the revolution, it sounds like a whisper, but I think even Tracy feels it’s time to scream it from the rooftops; I am fed up of sitting in the bistro of this ever speeding train of consumption, racking up a tab that our coming generations will have to pay for with their future. I want to jump off and run in another direction towards a more beautiful existence. In my life everything h
The aim of this thesis is to find an efficient simulation method of the Heston model of stochastic volatility to price path dependent derivatives. The volatility process in this model has an exact transition density defined as a scaled non central chi2 density. By implementing classic approaches of approximating the non central chi2 distribution, and modifying Andersen's Quadratic Exponential
In the quest for a better future some unemployed EU-citizens travel to Sweden. Finding a job is difficult and many are instead making a living begging. Cars, tunnels, parks and other shady places of our society become temporary homes. The authorities demolish some of these “camps” and the residents are accused for stealing bicycles, dogs and garden gnomes. Rumours and myths start to grow. In Swed
Popular Abstract in English Nowadays road, air and sea transport activities around the world are almost completely dependent on finite and polluting oil fuels. Biofuels are fuels produced from biomass which can be used to substitute gasoline and diesel in cars, busses and (soon) planes. Where oil was created millions of years ago and is soon reaching its limit, biofuels are renewable fuels which cThe dependency of transport on oil fuels is responsible for risks of energy supply security, and local, regional and global environmental problems, including the emission of greenhouse gases affecting the Earth’s climate system. Biofuels attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to these problems. However, the deployment of biofuel technologies poses as many opportunities to b
During the past few years we have experienced an extraordinary turbulence in the financial markets. Stock markets in free fall, countless of bankruptcies and government interventions to save huge financial institutions have been regular events. During these times the focal point has been risk management. Poor risk management has been one of the main reasons for the experienced crisis. To be able t

When the Torrey Canyon ran aground in 1967, there was no international regime covering liability for oil pollution damage. This changed with the adoption of the 1969 Civil Liability Convention for Oil Pollution (CLC) and the 1971 International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage (Fund Convention). While torts are mainly fault based, th
For the past fifteen years, ever since the Court of Justice’s ruling in its landmark case Bosman, the sporting rules governing player mobility have been a hot topic. The ruling prohibited transfer fees for players out-of-contract thus putting an end to the restrictive transfer system hindering the free movement of football players. The Court also abolished the nationality restriction where clubs w
Depletion of onshore and shallow water reserves, in combination with new subsea technology, has made the petroleum industry advance into deeper water. However, new technology also brings new risks. Since most widely accepted standards and regulations are not directly aimed for subsea systems, new methods have to be developed. By developing a LOPA-model, which can be used specifically for subsea co
