Background and Objectives: This project explored the needs of art galleries and collectors for Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS), in order to fill an existing knowledge gap and help companies to analyse these needs.

There is a need for a quicker and more effective way of determining a roads side areas than today’s methods, which incorporates doing ocular surveying along an entire road. Instead there is an interest of using Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for examining the road, and only need to do a complementary ocular survey on smaller parts of the road. Grid2+ is a national elevation model developed in Swed

Research on the fatherhood wage premium has found the premium to differ by race, occupation, marital status and the degree of specialization in the division of labor. This paper attempts to see if two additional aspects may be added: whether the premium varies between different regions and whether there is a difference between urban and rural areas. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth

This master thesis investigates how cruise lines choose ports of call in the Baltic Sea and to what extent port costs are a relevant factor in this decision. The thesis was developed in collaboration with Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) who operate the cruise port in Visby. Recently, the company decided to expand this cruise port with the aim to increase the number of cruise ship calls at this destina

The purpose of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of the different normative perspectives on a legalization or decriminalization of cannabis in Sweden. Since the debate on the global political arena has changed during the last couple of years concerning “The War on Drugs” we found an interesting aspect in researching what this wind of change might bring, and what it already brought, to

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

The goal of the thesis is to model stock prices as a stochastic process which exhibits reversion towards an equilibrium point, where the equilibrium point is set by fundamental data points of the company. The stochastic model is compared to the standard approach of using Geometric Brownian motion to simulate stock prices. The autocorrelations of a group of stocks are investigated. This has lead
