The aim of this thesis is to find an efficient simulation method of the Heston model of stochastic volatility to price path dependent derivatives. The volatility process in this model has an exact transition density defined as a scaled non central chi2 density. By implementing classic approaches of approximating the non central chi2 distribution, and modifying Andersen's Quadratic Exponential
The recital is focused on my research involving contemporary voice. My approach to singing research is becoming more systematic as the result of beginning to work on concepts central to the extra-normal voice, term coined by Michael Edward Edgerton. This approach to voice is based on voice science, the aims of which are to investigate the boundaries and/or limits of vocal sound production. In this
The literature suggests that executives still doubt the real contribution of HR, and one reason for this is that it is difficult to measure the Return on Investment in HR activities. In addition to this, earlier studies on the value creation of IT seems to discount the intangible value creation that IT investments bring to organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare how
The aim of this study is to explore the importance of a diagnosis when it comes to gaming addiction. The study is based on the professionals perspective, which was done by interviewing those working with gaming addiction and similar behavioral issues. The empirical material is analysed from a social constructive perspective to shed light upon how gaming addiction has come to be defined in differen
Because of increased volumes in trade, maritime transport has been developed into an important determinant for economic development. Considering 124 countries over three time periods, this study aims to present the general correlation between economic growth and seaborne trade. The result is achieved by constructing a two-way error component model with fixed time and country effects consisting of
In order to grow, the founder must go. This is the conventional wisdom which states that when entrepreneurial firms enter a stage of rapid growth the new business quickly surpasses the skills and capacity of the founder. In this phase of rapid growth this paper aims to understand how entrepreneurs perceive their role as founder CEO as their company grows, and what impact this has on their “decisio
It has been previously shown that an increase in the relative value of tea increases female survival rate by enhancing their economic value. By combining contemporary district-level census data with historical data on tea production, in this paper I examine whether contemporary regional variations in gender disparities across India can be traced back to the tea production induced by the British Ea
A concern about the democratic legitimacy of the European Union is a frequent topic when discussing European integration. How can democratic principles be withheld when political power is delegated from the nation-state to a supranational level? Can democracy be secured beyond the nation-state? This thesis derives from a deliberative perspective, which emphasises the need for debate in democratic

The commercialization of athletes has been an important aspect of the sports industry and personal branding in the contemporary landscape of digital media and sports communication. However, the commercialization of the athletes will be interpreted under the framework of national symbolism when the athletes are constructed as national symbols at the same time. Starting by researching the case of Ei

Even though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values. In this respect, the urban cemetery has an abiding attitude to change in building on past traditions and designs to addr
This thesis uses a discourse analytical approach based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to critically analyze long term migration policies. Hegemony and antagonism are used to show the development of the “Root cause discourse”. The discourse is based on the assumption that mainly illegal migration from underdeveloped sender states to more developed receiving states will in time diminish due to

The decision to own or lease real estate is a vital part of the strategy. What factors are decisions to own or lease CRE based on? The authors seek patterns in decision factors for different industries. Identified patterns will provide an understanding of
The deteriorating European economic situation has suggested the necessity of risk management in the exchange rate of EUR for governments and corporations, but there is few researches studying in this field. In this thesis, by choosing USD/EUR, JPY/EUR and GBP/EUR as subjects, with a focus on the availability of different methods to the estimation of exchange rate risk of EUR, we aim to calculate t
Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery. Surgery is the only option to cure a hernia. Symptoms of an incisional hernia depend on the size of the abdominal wall defect and the protruding tissue. About 30% of the patients with an incisional hernia will have an operation performed. Traditional surgical sutured techniques have very high recurrence rateIncisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery.

The stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) is a key tool in tracing the source of carbon within and across ecosystems. In isotope mixing models dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial sources is often assigned a fixed δ13C of roughly -28‰ to -27‰ in C3 plant-dominated areas. However, the claim of a uniform δ13C distribution for terrestrial DOC sources of different reactivity has seldom been te
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network constituted by uniquely identifiable commodity objects or devices equipped with some sensing system. To achieve high data rates required for IoT devices, a modern wireless communication system, known as Advanced Antenna Systems(AAS), leads to significant improvement, by increasing not only the data rate but also spectrum efficiency and the channel capacity.
