The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the legal conditions and process for triggering Credit Default Swaps, which are derivative instruments to shift credit risk exposure between parties in an underlying financial instrument. The condition is called credit event and a case study has been done on the Greek credit event in 2012. The thesis shows that there is a clear and robust framework o
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
PURPOSE: Paramedial mandibulotomy facilitates access for the resection of tumors in the oral and oropharyngeal space; however, severe complications related to surgical techniques and radiotherapy have been reported for this procedure. This study evaluated whether preservation of the periosteum during a mandibulotomy would decrease postoperative complications owing to the increased healing capacity
We examined background information and course of labour from a cohort of 2,810 low-risk nulliparas to identify possible lifestyle and anthropometrical risk indicators for dystocia. Criteria for dystocia: cervical dilatation <2 cm over 4 h during labour's active phase, or no descent during 2 h (3 h with epidural) in the descending phase, or no progress for 1 h during the expulsive phase. After adju
This project examines how to achieve the best possible capture of incoming acoustic signals in a surveillance camera without overspending. This will be done by designing a complete analogue microphone system to be integrated into a surveillance camera and identify the critical stages in terms of performance. The project will cover the complete analogue signal chain from incoming acoustic signals t
För att klimatförändringarna inte ska bli för stora har Sverige som mål att till år 2020 reducera utsläppen av växthusgaser med 40%. För att klara detta arbete behöver Sveriges kommuner hjälpa till med lokala mål och åtgärder, och Ängelholms kommun har då valt att i sin miljöplan bestämma att kommunen år 2021 ska vara helt fossilbränslefria i alla transporter som kommunen äger eller brukar. SyftetSweden has a goal to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases with 40 % until 2020 to prevent the climate change from becoming too big. Too succeed in this work, the Swedish municipalities need to help with local goals and arrangements. The municipality of Ängelholm has chosen to decide in its environmental action plan that the municipality by 2021 is going to be completely free of fossil fuels in
In this study the willingness to pay and conformity-seeking behaviour of Swedish consumers when purchasing fair trade coffee were examined. It was conducted through a conjoint analysis on data collected from two different questionnaires; one that presented objective information on fair trade, and one that linked fair trade to aspirational cues. The results indicated that ethical claims of fair tra
The aim for this study was to explore how social workers describe their work with children’s placed in foster care when it comes to making desicions about custody transfer to foster parents. The law regulates that a custody transfer should be based on the best interests of the child which requires that an assessment is made by the social worker about the needs of the specific child. The method use
The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva was constructed as a discovery machine. So far, the Higgs boson has been the only discovery at the Large Hadron Collider, but physicists keep on pushing the limit in order to discover new particles. With the two major runs at the Large Hadron Collider showing some alluring surpluses of activity in multi-lepton final states, beyond the Standard Model theories are
Resource consumption is becoming increasingly scarce with an increase in the global population. Due to the increased resource consumption, the current linear economy model is unsustainable in the way it operates. The limitations of the linear economic model have been at the forefront to aspire circular economy in practice. Numerous factors have identified the need for the circular economy to emerg
Gestures are used in a pragmatic way in interactive contexts such as conversation. Agreement between interlocutors is an ordinary aspect of talk-in-interaction, which is expressed through various types of utterances and gestures. The interlocutors’ status, such as gender and familiarity, may affect both their verbal and non-verbal behavior as previous research has shown. This study investigates th
There is a great need to figure out how to reach our many ambitious climate goals. This thesis focuses on municipal goals concerning reducing car traffic, and studies three municipalities (Göteborg, Borlänge and Jönköping) who have all adopted clear goals concerning decreased car traffic. The aim of this thesis is to identify potential goal conflicts and challenges within the municipalities’ work
The sustainable production and consumption of foods is gaining traction and globally, it is believed that there is nutritional transitional taking place from animal-based protein to plant-based protein. Product requirements, supply chain conditions, and consumption patterns for animal-based proteins and plant-based proteins will vary. This ensures that the packaging of plant-based foods must now m
The Nuremberg Charter introduced the crime of aggression into international law. The American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a famous promise that offenders who commit acts of aggression shall be prosecuted and international criminal law would be applied against them. However, only at the first Review Conference of the ICC Statute in Kampala 2010, agreement on a universally accepted
The aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s

In a progressively globalized world the catapults of economic globalization, is in large, due to increased flows of foreign direct investments (FDI) across the world. FDI flows are considered essential vehicles for economic growth and development. The complex entities that embody a multinational company (MNC ) are often simplified to encompass either an exploitation approach of LDCs by MNCs or the
This report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than
The market uptake of solid-state lighting (SSL) is slow, even though it has many advantages and could deliver a variety of benefits to the society. The public sector is a large actor in the lighting market and could play an important role in accelerating SSL market penetration. Nevertheless, it faces many challenges to adopt SSL. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to provide a better
