I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo
A modern automotive vehicle is a complex technical system, containing many electronic, mechanical, and software parts. Typically, a high-end vehicle contains 70 or more electronic control units (ECUs) on average.

The unique feature of SVK being the only voluntary organisation in Sweden that operates in the maritime domain, does not come without problems. I have in this study made clear to the reader where the problem lies and why there are prob
This thesis is a critical reflection on the metanarratives that are often employed to describe ‘Nordic exceptionality’. In particular, this thesis will look into the anniversary project of ‘Finland100’ as an example of these narratives and approach it as a political project that promises belonging. Narratives surrounding the anniversary will be discussed through a deconstructive narrative reading,

Laglotten regleras i ärvdabalken (1958:637) 7 kap. 1 § och fungerar som ett arvsrättsligt skydd till förmån för bröstarvingar. Skyddet aktualiseras i de fall då en avliden valt att testamentera bort all kvarlåtenskap. Bröstarvingar har i dessa fall en lagstadgad rätt till hälften av den dödes arvslott. Laglottsregleringen infördes år 1857, men har som institut funnits betydligt längre inom svensThe statutory share of inheritance is regulated by the inheritance code (1958:637) 7 chap. 1 § and work as a protection for the forced heir to secure its right for inheritance.

The objective behind this bachelor’s thesis is to survey what kinds of threats exist, which our society is more prone to, and how to help people to use internet in a secure way. A system is then to be developed which will help allevia

Abstract Recent financial crises have demonstrated the importance of accurately measuring financial risks in order to be able to employ mitigating risk policies. This essay investigates the question whether a GARCH model augmented by an autoregressive conditional jump intensity component can improve value-at-risk forecasts in comparison to common GARCH models. Therefore, the VaR forecasting perfor

Moti-vet är att bevara eller återupprätta en persons eller familjs, släkt eller annan liknande grupps heder.

This thesis experiments with the data structure of a sparse voxel octree (SVO)to see if it may improve the performance of empty space ray marching in volumes. While ray marching is a somewhat new technique it is used more often in traversal of volumes. It can be used for realistic volumetric effects in computer games or it can be used in the medical field when examining and visualizing MRI scans.
