American and Bermudan options have a wide range of applications in financial markets, e.g. in commodities markets among others. The pricing literature of such contingent claims is broad and many different algorithms and frameworks have been developed. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the Least-Squares Method (LSM), \cite{LSM}, can be extended to incorporate stochastic convenience y
This thesis looks at the role played by racial threat mechanisms in the persistence of felon disenfranchisement laws across the 50 American states. The US has a long history of disenfranchising its felons, and the motivations behind implementation of these laws has been mixed. The analysis employs two main theoretical frameworks: one of racial threat as an activating mechanism of mass opinion, as
Grey cast iron is one of the most used materials in the automotive industry. The material has a range of properties that makes it suitable for machining applications, but manufacturers still experience machinability problems. Automotive Components Floby (ACF), who currently experience machinability issues with brake discs, initiated this study to gain further understanding of tool deterioration in
This project started in the complex field of silence and ended up in an even more complex area; emotions. In silence we experience our emotions the most, and in order to appreciate the sometimes so fearful silence we need to relate to our emotions and understand them. If we see, accept and learn to relate to them, the silence will be much more serene and delicious. During the process I used myself
In recent years, the construction industry has faced unprecedented challenges related to abnormal price increases on building materials, which have not been experienced since the 1970s oil crisis. These price hikes have been caused by a various of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Europe, trade sanctions and high energy prices.

Denna komparativa uppsats undersöker de likheter och skillnader som finns mellan den svenska och danska regleringen av medborgarskap, samt huruvida återkallandeinstitutet som finns i Danmark hade lämpat sig i svensk rätt med bakgrund av den svenska och danska historiska utvecklingen av medborgarskapet. Den svenska regleringen präglas av en liberalisering medan den danska av en restriktivitet. DeThis comparative essay examines the similarities and differences between the Swedish and the Danish citizenships laws, and how the Danish citizenship revoke system would fit into Swedish legislation, considering the historical development of the citizenship in both countries.

Not long ago Sierra Leone and Sudan experienced violent civil wars and both situations were perceived by the UN to constitute a threat to international peace and security. Because of this, the UN deployed two different peace operations, UNAMSIL and UNMIS, which have had various success regarding Sierra Leone and Sudan’s current level of peace. This thesis aims to investigate if the degree of local
Modern-day opportunities allow musicians to divert from normalised, widespread perceptions of their artistic needs and pursue diverse career paths. This thesis uses autoethnographic methods to explore a classical pianist's navigation between contrastingfields, such as international relations, higher education management, and music and performance.Artistic citizenship and discourse theory have been

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how Russia communicates with their religious and ethnic minorities on the invasion of Ukraine. To do this I have studied the use of the words “shaytany”, “shaytanizatsia” and “desatanizatsia” describing Ukrainians and the invasion of Ukraine in Russian state-controlled media during 2022. My hypothesis was that these words are used in a narrativ
Several Swedish municipalities, in particular Stockholm inner city, suffer from excessive housing shortage – demand exceeds supply by far. The result of this is for example a market with a long housing queue, illegal trade with lease agreements and rental houses being transformed into building societies. These problems are due to the fact that the rental housing market in Sweden is controlled and

Description: It is stated that even though plentiful of studies over the last decades have been concerned with internationalization in/of higher education, it has not been from the perspectives from the teachers and students and their experiences of aspects of internationalization in relation to their educational context (that is, as a student, and as a teacher). To emphasize the quality dimension
How does costly communication affect organizational coordination? This paper develops a model of costly communication based on the weakest-link game and boundedly rational agents. Solving for the stochastically stable states, we find that communication increases the possibilities for efficient coordination compared to a setting where agents cannot communicate. But as agents face a trade-off betwee
The goal of total hip replacement(THR) with a prosthesis is to improve the quality of life in the patients with hip disease. Loosening of the prosthesis is the most common cause of deteriorating long-term results. Reaction to wear products and stess-shielding giving rise to resorption of bone are usually blamed for this deterioration. There was no correlation between migration of the prosthetic co
It is becoming increasingly evident that the field of language documentation and the docu¬mentary multimedia resources it produces rely on expanding their relevance and usability to disciplines beyond linguistics in order to increase their chances of being sustainable in the long term. This paper argues that more attention should be paid to the needs and interests of such disciplines in language d
We present high statistics MC calculations of the static potential in three-dimensional SU(2) for a wide range of β values on a 243 lattice. The deviations from area law are unambiguously demonstrated by use of 2nd lattice R derivative. After a clear crossover at β=4.5 the data show signs of an effective string roughening up to β=6.5, while scaling is not strictly obeyed in this interval. Pure fer
