This thesis explores the use of machine learning to detect anomalies in OTC derivatives. The purpose is to evaluate whether machine learning can be used in a new domain within the financial industry and to investigate whether anomaly detection can enhance the portfolio reconciliation process. The study compares three different approaches to anomaly detection: logistic regression, isolation forest
This thesis examines the rationale and justification of imputing liability for infringements of EU competition law to entire corporate groups rather than on the legal entities within that group that actively participated in the infringement. It explores the presumption of decisive influence, a legal mechanism which attributes liability on a parent company without adduc-ing any further evidence of
Den svenska partipolitiken kännetecknades länge av en tydlig klassdiskurs, och ansågs vara undantaget för nedgången i den klassbaserade röstningen. Under de senaste decennierna har däremot även Sverige genomgått förändringar i den klassbaserade röstningen där arbetarklassens väljare alltmer förflyttats från socialdemokratin till högernationalistiska partier. Följande undersökning avser därför att
Swedish municipalities are placed in a decision-making position as the nation looks to bolster the nation's energy strategy with increased nuclear power. New nuclear power is posed as an exciting potential solution to the energy crisis and the need for more decarbonized energy sources. New nuclear power also consists of uncertainty, emerging technologies, and planning difficulties. This thesis
This study examines the relationship between institutional ownership and firm performance, with a particular focus on how such ownership may influence outcomes under conditions of financial distress. Using a panel dataset of Swedish firms listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm from 2014 to 2024, we explore whether institutional ownership and its short-term changes (ΔIO) are associated with improved fi
Sustainable development and sustainable urbanism has been receiving an increasingly influential role in urban development throughout the last decades, and many cities label themselves as ‘green’, ‘smart’, and ‘sustainable’. At the same time municipalities have been experiencing increasing economic pressure due to decentralization processes, which has resulted in them carrying a central role in dev
A fluid and undefined existence that tears in all directions, a total chaos swirling like a storm that diminishes the recognisable, creating confusion and disorientation. The question is whether to shape something in the outer, or whether something in the outer should be allowed to shape the inner: to let oneself be shaped by what is external, or to let what is external shape the internal. The two
This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa
The political debate surrounding criminal policy in Sweden has largely focused on orga- nized crime, and the issue has been central during the 2022 election. With this under- standing as a backdrop, this bachelor’s thesis seeks to understand how Swedish politicians from the social democrats (S) and Sweden democrats (SD) parties frame organized crime and criminal policy surrounding it. For this pur
This thesis investigates the pattern formation of supersolid states in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of highly magnetic Dysprosium-162 confined in a flattened trap geometry. This is done by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation (eGPE), a framework that was developed to examine BECs. The eGPE incorporates contact interaction, the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI), and quantum fluc
This thesis explores how Hannah Arendt’s idea of the "banality of evil" can clarify human rights abuses within bureaucratic systems, concentrating on the Nazi Holocaust and the internment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China. By examining historical documents, official records, and accounts from survivors, the research investigates how administrative frameworks normalize and facilitate s
The topic of this study is the phosphorylation dependent interaction between aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the FERM domain of ezrin. AQP2 is an important water channel for finetuning the water content of the urine based on the needs of the body. The main way of regulating how much water is reabsorbed is by regulating the amount of AQP2 present in the apical membrane. This regulation is controlled throug
This study looks at how Agapi Boat Club, a company that offers boats through a membership service, affects consumer behavior in the boating industry. Instead of owning a boat, members pay to access a fleet of boats across different locations. This research explores whether people are choosing membership instead of owning a boat, and what this change means for the boating market. To find out, we c
Detta arbete behandlar beskattningstidpunkten för derivatinstrument som säkrar skulder i utländsk valuta, enligt svensk rätt. Detta är intressant eftersom svenska företag i en globaliserad ekonomi exponeras mot valutarisker. Det råder dock osäkerheter om när säkringsderivatet ska beskattas. Uppsatsen analyserar därför hur den rättsliga regleringen i IL påverkar beskattningstidpunkten av värdeföränThis thesis examines the timing of taxation of derivatives hedging foreign-currency liabilities under Swedish law. The issue is interesting given the currency risk exposure of Swedish enterprises in a globalized economy, yet uncertainty persists as to when hedging derivatives are recognized as taxable income. The study analyses how the Swedish income tax law governs the recognition of value change
Sweden's decision to reopen arms exports to Turkiye in the context of the NATO process has provoked strong reactions and raised a familiar dilemma: how does a state balance its security policy interests against its ethical principles? This paper aims to investigate how different actors such as politicians, researchers, security policy experts and civil society representatives argue for and aga
This study aimed to investigate how a Swedish standard, developed by the Swedish Institute for Standards, can support local governments in their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. Local authorities have been identified as key actors in the transition towards sustainable development, making the standard a potentially valuable tool. To achieve this aim, interviews were conducted with local govern
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur upplevd distributiv rättvisa samt intern och extern motivation korrelerar med och förklarar variansen i anställdas organisatoriska medborgarskapsbeteende riktat mot organisationen (OCBO). Studien utgick således från två huvudsakliga frågeställningar: (1) Hur starka är sambanden mellan OCBO, distributiv rättvisa och extern/intern motivation hos anställda?This study aimed to examine how perceived distributive justice and internal/external motivation correlate with and explain the variance in employees organizational citizenship behavior directed towards the organization (OCBO). Hence, two main questions were addressed: (1) To what extent are OCBO, distributive justice and external/internal motivation correlated among employees? (2) How much of the
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur digitala secondhand-plattformar påverkar unga kvinnors konsumtionsbeteende i skärningspunkten mellan fast fashion och secondhand. Studien baseras på sju kvalitativa intervjuer med unga kvinnor som är studenter och befinner sig i generation Z. Det har även gjorts en netnografi på secondhand-apparna Vinted och Sellpy samt två Facebookgrupper där innehåll
The crucial effects of climate change have made the question about sustainability even more urgent and important in today's society. To avoid further consequences, and create a sustainable future for future generations, we need a green transition. A key part of the green transition is the transition to sustainable, renewable energy which also is essential for phasing out the use of fossil fuel
This study explores how individuals engaged within the Swedish architectural resistance association ‘Arkitekturupproret’ experience modernist architecture. Through 12 interviews with people active within the association and a participant observation conducted during the 2025 Arkitekturupproret gala, the study investigates how architecture affects human actors through the lenses of atmosphere, mate
