Frågor om brottslighet står högst upp på agendan bland Sveriges politiker och tidningsrubriker avlöser varandra med nyheter om de kriminella gängen och skjutvapenvåldet. Uppfattningen är att brottsligheten går ner i åldrarna, blir grövre och att kriminella gäng rekryterar unga personer för att utföra allvarliga brott. Det är enkelt att få intrycket att vi befinner oss i en tid av ökad brottslig-heQuestions about crime are at the top of the agenda among Sweden's politicians and news about the criminal gangs and gun violence dominate headlines.

Social Network Games (SNGs) first appeared in Asia in the latter half of the 00s, and soon became a widespread phenomenon all over the world. In the West, US developer Zynga quickly rose to fame with their hit title FarmVille, and now enjoys a nearly monopolistic position among games on Facebook. In Japan as well, the SNG industry has grown at an exceptional pace since its birth and is predicted t

Tonvis av betong används på svenska byggen varje år. Detta trots att tillverkningen av en av huvudingrediensenserna - cement - ger stora mängder koldioxidutsläpp. Genom att ersätta en del av cementet med ett visst specialcement minskar koldioxidutsläppen samtidigt som betongen torkar fortare. För de flesta höghus som byggs i Sverige idag används betong som byggmaterial. Enorma mängder betong gårThis master thesis work concerns the effect of high-alumina additives on the selfdesication of concrete. The purpose of the work was to examine the possibilities to optimize the binder-content of concrete with regards to self-desiccation. Two highalumina additives have been examined. In the experiments 10% of the binder mass has been replaced with one of these additives. Commercially available ceme

Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries.

Background: Globalization is a phenomenon which has been around since the mid- 19th century, influencing companies to either expand existing markets or entering new markets, to seek new profits. For companies with a global supply chain, the total supply chain cost is a vital factor. It is of high importance to reduce the costs in the supply chain, as lower costs will increase the profit. The case

Elnätet står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren med frågor såsom decentraliserad produktion, planerad nybyggnation och ett mer elektrifierat samhälle. Detta lyfter frågan om vad som kan göras idag för att använda elnätet mer effektivt och med vilka metoder elnätsbolag kan bedöma hur mycket kapacitet som finns tillgänglig i nätet. Arbetet bygger på kunddata från ca 4 500 kunder under en fördel\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract} \section*{\Large \textbf{Abstract}} The power grid needs to develop substantially the next few years to accommodate decentralized production, planned expansions and a more electricity dependent society. This raises the question of what can be done today to use the existing grid more efficiently and which methods the distribution system operator (DSO) can

The project was aimed at numerically assessing exoplanetary systems to distinguish their capabilities of hosting additional planets. The shortcomings of the radial velocity method sometimes causes hindrance in the detection of terrestrial planets. Although modern spectrometers have evolved and improved drastically, the process of distinguishing signals from smaller planets is still difficult and c

Stimulation of innovation is a hot topic around the world. The developed economies are nowadays significantly dependent on innovation for further growth. One central source of innovation is universities and their ability to turn new knowledge into value-adding innovations. One of these technology transfer measures is through the creation of university spinoffs (USOs). High-tech startups, however,

The measurement of the jet energy resolution is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1). Jets are reconstructed from energy deposits measured by the calorimeters and calibrated using different jet calibration schemes. The jet energy resolution is measured with two different

Conventional dairy sections are often small and most customers pass through them quickly. Arla saw this as an under-utilisation and launched a new concept called Dairy Square. This is a store within the store where the temperature is lower, the environment more pleasant for the customer and the interior specially designed to increase sales. The concept has so far been a success. Arla have complet

Abstract The IT- business is a fast growing business trade. This expansive line of business continuously demands flexibility both economically and legally. It is, today, of great importance to have knowledge about your own trade especially when it comes to new agreements. Laws and regulations are seldom flexible and adaptable tools, this is due to the fact it takes time to create new laws and, abo

The structural approach to credit risk modeling has gained a growing attention in both the academics and in the industry. In this dissertation, we outline the basic ideas and structures of the KMV (Merton) model and also explain some related issues before implementing this model. Referring to the KMV model, we use the KMV model to identify the credit risk of listed companies in China. We use real
