Finansiell teori implicerar att höjd kapitaltäckning bör resultera i minskad risk i aktiepriset. Marknadsrisken analyseras genom att undersöka historisk volatilitet, betavärde och Credit Default Swap spread (CDS-spread) för respektive banks marknadsnoterade aktie.The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the market risk for the four largest banks in Sweden has decreased with increased capital requirements.

De höga koldioxidutsläpp som cementtillverkning medför har lett till att industrin har behövt ta till nya metoder för att minska dessa. Detta resulterar i att det kommer nya cementsorter där delar av cementet bytts ut mot tillsatsmaterial. Koldioxidutsläpp från tillsatsmaterialens framställning belastar inte cement- och betongindustrin då dessa ofta är industriella restprodukter, vilket innebär atBecause of the significant release of carbon dioxide from the production of cement, the industry has developed several new types of cement. These new cements contain different types of supplementary cementitious materials that give different characteristics. To fully understand the charactaristics of these cements and products made from them, more reserch is needed. An example of such a characteri

Kort hållbarhet på malet kött förpackat utan modifierad atmosfär kan leda till svinn i butiker. När denna förpackningsmodell används sätts ofta hållbarheten till 24 h vilket innebär en begränsad period för försäljning. Om hållbarheten förlängs till 48 h för att minska svinnet krävs det att den mikrobiologiska säkerheten bibehålls samt att den upplevda kvaliteten (doft och utseende) fortsatt är god
