Perhaps the Year of the Snake began earlier, given all that has been happening both here and in the world. We have seen both positive and negative events, and some developments are still unclear. At the s
Finding the optimal subset of individuals to observe in order to obtain the best estimate of the average opinion of a society is a crucial problem in a wide range of applications, including policy-making, strategic business decisions, and the analysis of sociological trends. We consider the opinion vector X to be updated according to a DeGroot opinion dynamical model with stubborn agents, subject
Sammanfattning Denna uppsats kommer att behandla två regler i ABL vilka finns till i syfte att skydda de ägare i ett aktiebolag som utgör minoritet. Regelverket kring skydd för minoriteter i aktiebolagslagen är tämligen omfattande och jag har därför valt att begränsa mitt arbete till att endast fokusera på två av dessa; likhetsprincipen och generalklausulerna. Det är idag omstritt hur dessa två reAbstract This paper will address the two rules in the Companies Act (2005: 551), which are added in order to protect the owners of a corporation as a minority. The regulations concerning the protection of minorities in the Companies Act is quite extensive and I have therefore chosen to limit my work to only focus on two of these; the principle of equality and the general clauses. Today, it is deba

The BSc thesis’ analysis covered IP protection provided through international treaties, statutory law an
I believe that vision, image and identity, brand and positioning are all parts of repositioning process. When repositioning, company has to decide if it is going to compete with same attributes as before or if company is entering totally new competitive domain with new dimensions. Fleur de Santé has changed its identity and chose which parts of it to point out; history, brand and natural ingredien
My paper will focus on the expanding tourism connected to popular crime novels in Sweden. The Swedish crime genre has been exploding during the last decades, and several Swedish crime writers have had an immense success abroad, e. g. Henning Mankell, Liza Marklund and Karin Alvtegen. Some of these writers have chosen to connect their stories to a specific place or region; a fact, which has been ex
The rising price and demand for energy are significant issues for the food sector, which consumes a substantial amount of energy throughout the supply chain. Hence, improving energy efficiency has become an essential priority for the food sector. However, most food businesses have limited awareness of the recent technological advancements in real-time energy monitoring. Thus, the concept of “Inter
The perspective in the paper is the coast as a place for health, leisure, and recreation, and it takes its examples from southern Sweden and the city of Malmö. In Malmö the coast has been an essential and integrated part of the city’s business and image for centuries. It has been utilised and physically re-moulded for different purposes. By looking at the city coast from these perspectives, it is

Instead of applying Markowitz’s portfolio optimization, mean-CVaR framework is used in order to deal with non-normality of return of financial assets as well as exchange rates. In this paper, the finding shows t
