Timer options are relatively new exotic options with the feature that they expire as soon as the accumulated realized variance exceeds a predefined level. This construction leads to a random time to maturity instead of having a fixed exercise day. As shown by Bernard an Cui [7], Timer options can be priced by solving a partial differential equation or by time-changing the stock price process and t

In this thesis we theoretically investigate quantum correlations and entanglement of electron scatterers through two coupled quantum dots (QDs). The interaction is described in terms of two-particle collisions modeled by two-particle scattering matrix. The correlation between the two dots is expressed in terms of density-of-states matrices. Wave packets are introduced into each system and for the

I uppsatsen behandlas unionsrättens påverkan på EU:s medlemsstaters inkomstskatteregler. De nationella inkomstskattelagstiftningarna får inte strida mot den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget, vilket gör att unionsrätten har stor påverkan på den direkta beskattningen även om den direkta beskattningen till största delen inte är harmoniserad. En medlemsstat får således inte utforma sin nationeThis thesis focuses on the impact of EU law on national direct taxation. National income tax rules may not restrict the free movement of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This means that EU law has a considerable impact on national legislation in this area, even if the member states for the most part have retained their competence to legislate. A member state may, therefo

Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa

There is a constant need for the fire and rescue service to develop new methods, materials and extinguishing media to implement the most effective firefighting operations as possible while minimizing environmental impacts. The effect of additives in the extinguishing water is fairly unknown. In this report small-scale experiments shows that additives and fire retardants can provide a significant i

This Master Thesis contains the first stages of the development process of a system to study human gait presenting a final concepts. Moreover, the Master Thesis covers the vibration analysis of a real prototype based on the concepts presented. For the development of this project, there were almost no restrictions or guidelines. Hence, it was necessary a previous process of investigation and re

The aim of this study was to examine how implementation of MI affects the social workers discretion based on the requirements of evidence-based practice and on consideration of user perspective. The study was conducted with seven semi-structured interviews. A theoretical framework including Max Weber´s Ideal types of social action and Michael Lipsky´s Street-level bureaucracy has been used to anal

Uppsatsen problemformulering undersöker hur det visuella språket påverkar, inom det sociala mediet Instagram, personers identitetsuppfattning och interaktion i sociala sammanhang. Jag har undersökt problemställningen genom kvalitativa intervjuer och deltagande observationer av danska informanters bruk av det sociala mediet Instagram. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten vilar på Erving Goffmans begrepp I

In this report a method has been developed that aims to support identification of the need for verification through performance-based design of fire safety for different buildings, i.e. when prescriptive design is not applicable. The method is based on the idea that elements or areas of fire safety that presents specific challenges and problems for the building are those in need of verification th

De senaste åren har antalet sjukskrivningar relaterade till psykisk sjukdom ökat, och en stor del av denna ökning tillskrivs stressproblematik i arbetslivet. Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga behovet av stresshantering på två mindre företag, samt att undersöka sambandet mellan självrapporterad stress och anställdas upplevelse av krav, kontroll, stöd och meningsfullhet. Tanken är att en såd

This study investigated how perceived social support may lead ostracised individuals to be more willing to participate in and recommend extreme action against a political cause. Furthermore, it assessed if rejection sensitivity, populism and social capital moderated this effect, and whether these variables are intercorrelated. The participants were asked to read an article describing the proposal

The result of using a Common Point of Reference framework decision base, to implement implicit information patterns, aimed to support business decisions during the initial phases of change and improvement projects, was examined in this study. Participants (n=30) were asked to solve four different assignments with a decision base as support consisting of fictive change project data from a fictive m

Varje år upphandlar de svenska myndigheterna för betydande summor och de offentliga inköpen har en avsevärd inverkan på samhällsekonomin. Ett problem många upphandlande myndigheter upplever är att det råder osäkerhet om miljömässiga eller sociala krav kan ställas i ett upphandlingsförfarande rent juridiskt. Ett annat problem är att myndigheterna ibland saknar kunskap om marknaden och de leverantör

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda vilken möjlighet som finns i svensk rätt att i kommersiella avtal friskriva sig från principalansvaret. Som huvudregel gäller avtalsfrihet i kommersiella avtal, men vad gäller ansvarsfriskrivningar är friheten till viss del begränsad. De oskrivna principer som reglerar vilken omfattning en ansvarsfriskrivning får har till stor del utretts i både praxis och dokt

Det fördjupade samarbetet inom EU har medfört en expansion av EU:s befogenheter. Som ett led i unionens ekonomiska integration har frågan uppstått om möjligheten för företagsgrupper att kunna utjämna resultat mellan olika medlemsstater. Gränsöverskridande förlustutjämningar av detta slag bygger på rätten till fri etablering för personer i medlemsstaterna och den närmare innebörden av rätten till fThe enhanced cooperation of the EU has resulted in an expansion of the union’s competences. As part of the economic integration of the union, the question has arisen as to the possibility of corporate groups to attain loss compensation for economic activity in different member states. Cross-border loss compensation of this kind stems from right of free establishment for persons in member states. T

År 2006 trädde datalagringsdirektivet i kraft med två terrorattentat i Europa i bagaget. Syftet var att harmonisera medlemsstaternas lagstiftning gällande lagring av trafikuppgifter samt förenkla förebyggande och utredande av allvarlig brottslighet. De uppgifter som teleoperatörerna skulle lagra rörde vem som kommunicerade med vem, när och var det skedde samt vilken typ av kommunikation som användIn 2006, following the two terror attacks in Europe; the European Council adopted the Data Retention Directive. There were two primary reasons behind the legislation; most importantly to simplify the prevention and investigation of serious crimes in the union, but also to harmonise the legislation surrounding retention of data among the Member States. The directive obligated telecommunications ope
