Forecasts and analysis on real estate values and house prices are an ever-present problem for several different players. Often there is debate about the values of housing prices or housing bubbles in the Swedish cities. The difficulty with the valuation of housing, compared with other products, is their unique location. No housing is another comparable, and because of this there is no certain mark

Detta examensarbete behandlar olika aspekter av internationell investeringsrätt. Bilaterala eller regionala investeringsavtal tillsammans med internationell sedvanerätt reglerar mestadels rättsområdet. Sedvanerätten är inte harmoniserad på området vilket gör den osäker för investerare. För att främja investeringar och göra investeringar säkrare började länder förhandla bilaterala investeringsavtalThis thesis deals with various aspects of international investment law. Bilateral or regional investment treaties together with international customary law mostly govern international investment law. The area of customary law is not harmonized leaving it uncertain and unsafe for investors. Countries therefore started to negotiate bilateral investment treaties, BITs, in the late 1950´s as a way of
Cannabis is the most common illegal drug in Sweden today. It is used by millions of people all over the world and has been used for thousands of years. The purpose with this essay is to try to understand why people smoke cannabis. To be able to answer the main questions, five persons who smoke cannabis regularly have been interviewed. Information has also been obtained from prior research in the s
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka återförsäljares uppsägningsskydd och rätt till ersättning vid avtalets upphörande. För ett företag som önskar etablera sig på en ny marknad gäller det att välja rätt exploateringsmetod. Ett alternativ är då att utse en representant som säljer produkten på den nya marknaden. En lokal representant som känner till marknaden och eventuellt redan har ett etablerat försThe purpose of this essay is to examine the retailer’s dismissal protection and the right to compensation for termination of contract. For a company who wishes to establish themselves in a new market it is important to choose the right development approach. An alternative is then to appoint a representative who sells the product in the new market. A local representative who knows the market and po
In any storage ring or synchrotron based light source one of the most important factors for generating light with desirable properties is the electron beam itself. The dynamics of the beam must be properly characterised and, ideally, adjusted to the desired values for the light source to be able to deliver radiation of the quality which was decided during its design. This thesis is limited to som
Kering is a multi-player in the luxury industry, owning high-end brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, among others. A range of product lines of these brands use exotic skins as raw materials. Some argue that the use of such materials is too cruel and that the animal welfare cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, exotic skins are presented as more sustainable than other types o
I detta projekt har jag fokuserat på färg och färgens roll för arkitekturen. Jag har försökt undersöka ämnet brett och skapa mig en bild av vad färg har för betydelse för arkitektur och hur färgen påverkar ett arkitektoniskt uttryck. Kan jag, bara med hjälp av färgsättning, påverka den upplevda karaktären av en byggnad och dess omgivning? Projektet har blivit en undersökning av vår upplevelse av fThis project focuses on studies of colour and the role of colour in architecture. I’ve tried to look at the subject from different perspectives to form myself a picture of what colour means for architecture. I asked myself how colours affect the architectural expression. Can I, by only working with colours, influence the character of a building and its specific environment? This project has become
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda gällande rätt avseende meddelarskyddet i skolverksamhet, såväl offentlig som privat, med särskilt fokus på privat anställda vid fristående skolor. Vidare undersöks hur meddelarskyddet och den rättsliga regleringen på området skiljer sig åt för skolanställda beroende på om huvudmannen för skolan är offentlig eller enskild, samt vad en förändring av meddelarsThe aim of this essay is to examine the applicable law regarding the informant protection in school activities, both public and private, with a particular focus on private sector employees at independent schools. This essay further focus on how legal regulations of informant protection are different for school workers depending on whether the principal of the school is public or private, and what
För att uppnå hållbar stadsutvecklings samtliga aspekter krävs en väl genomtänkt stadsplanering. Ökad befolkning i kombination med bostadsbrist är två faktorer som förstärker behovet av nybyggnation. Frågan är snarare var och hur det ska byggas än om det ska byggas. Skånes värdefulla jordbruksmark är viktig att ta i beaktande och därför är planerare på Malmö stadsbyggnadskontor överens om att motvThe concept of urban density is lacking clarity since it can be defined in different ways, but has tradionally consisted of one numerical measurement. To obtain further information about the density of a city, better methods with more variables and therefore including more aspects of the urban fabric, must be used. Spacemate consists of four variables, which are quantitative measures describing ur
BACKGROUND: Septic shock may cause splanchnic hypoperfusion. We hypothesized that levosimendan would improve systemic and hepatosplanchnic perfusion during endotoxemic shock. METHODS: In 16 anesthetized pigs (31.4 +/- 3.4 kg), a jugular vein, a carotid artery, the Pulmonary artery (thermodilution), the portal vein, and a hepatic vein were cannulated for hemodynamic monitoring and blood sampling. U
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hårdare krav på lägre energianvändning i byggnader samt ökade energipriser har gjort att välisolerade hus har blivit vanligare. Ökad medvetenhet om koldioxidens påverkan på klimat-förändringarna har också ökat intresset för trähus. Tjockare isolering ökar dock risken för höga fukttillstånd och med detta också risken för fuktskador. För att förutse och undvika fuktskadorDue to increased awareness of climate change and higher energy costs, well-insulated buildings have become more common. Furthermore, interest in the use of wood in building to produce more carbon dioxide-efficient buildings has increased. However, thicker thermal insulation in building envelopes increases the risk of high relative humidity levels and the risk of mold-related damage in wood frame b
Kidney disease is a growing problem in the whole world. It is important to find these patients in an early state of the disease because then they can be treated and dialysis treatment can be avoided. To measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) an invasive technigue is used. In this thesis an equation to estimate GFR (eGFR) by drawing a blood sample and measure the concentration of cystatin C i
The European Union today consists of 25 Member States. The Member States all have different tax systems and different rates of taxation. A few Council Directives have been adopted in order to harmonize direct taxation between the Member States, but none regarding cross-border losses. Losses are negative profits, they do not give rise to the levy of taxes but they may reduce the tax burden that wou
Executive summary This master thesis was originally based on a specific assignment given to the authors from ABB Full Service, a unit specializing in providing maintenance outsourcing: “How can ABB Full Service expand its offering of providing fundamental maintenance by seamlessly incorporating the business concept with competencies and solutions from other ABB divisions?” The academic issue was d
A general introduction to the use of feed-back artificial neural networks (ANN) for obtaining good approximate solutions to combinatorial optimization problems is given, assuming no previous knowledge in the field. In particular we emphasize a novel neural mapping technique which efficiently reduces the solution space. This approach maps the problems onto Potts glass rather than spin glass models.
What mechanisms are needed in a cognitive system, such as an animal or a robot, and how do these mechanisms interact with each other? The thesis presents a study of this problem within the field of behavior-based systems and artificial neural networks. The thesis brings together ideas from behavior-based robotics, control theory and machine learning and combines them with models from ethology, ps
Tumors can induce the generation and accumulation of immunosuppressive cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in a tumor microenvironment, contributing to tumor escape from immunological attack. Although dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines can initiate antitumor immune responses, tumor-educated dendritic cells (TEDCs) involved in the tolerance induction have attracted much attenti
