This paper tests the parametric estimation method for Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall estimation together with the historical simulation method to find out if the historical simulation could yield accurate enough estimations in stormy and calm periods. Given that the parametric estimation proved superior, the thesis examines which volatility forecasting models, using which distribution assump
Individer med ett kriminellt förflutet har svårare att få ett jobb än individer som inte tidigare blivit dömda. Trots detta är arbetet viktigt för att före detta kriminella ska komma ur de kriminella banorna. Handelsbranschen är en bransch som sällan anställer individer med ett kriminellt förflutet medan byggbranschen oftare gör det. Syftet med den här studien var därför att jämföra ifall det finnIndividuals with a criminal record have more difficulties getting a job than individuals with no previous conviction. For ex-convicts however, work is essential for their chances to get off the criminal path. Ex-offenders have a good chance of getting a job in the building industry, but not so good chances in getting a job in the commerce industry. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare if
Most aerosol particles emitted from shipping affect the climate by counteracting the greenhouse effect. Although, this masks the warming effect of greenhouse gases, aerosol particles also have a negative health effects, and therefore emissions need to be reduced. It is possible that the negative health effect could be a concern for not only city dwellers, but for people living in rural areas as we
After the financial crisis in 2008, many companies, as a response to stakeholders’ claims, decided to make profits and “do good”, increasing the chances of providing a positive societal impact. Social enterprises have always pursued this cause, however, very little of them succeed in changing the world due to their hybrid business model. The primary purpose of this study is to determine how social
FIPECMATCH is a cloud computing software for matching the new HRR small-scale cable test to the HRR small-scale cable test of FIPEC’s database. This package works by setting up two HRR filters, which would be able to select the most similar HRR pattern stored in the FIPEC’s database. This thesis writing will discuss the filter process in details together with the running results. The advantage of
This thesis explores stigma in regards to access to education for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Vietnam and strategies to overcome stigmatization. This study is based on previous research which claims that HIV-related stigma causes isolation, bullying and social exclusion among affected groups. As a result, Goffman’s theory of stigma was used together with Bourdieu’s theory of capital and Fouca
Studien undersöker vilka individuella och organisatoriska inlärningsmekanismer som bidrar till utveckling av evidensbaserad psykologisk praktik inom (EBPP) ett hälsoval för kognitiv beteendeterapi i Region Skåne. Sexton psykologer verksamma inom hälsovalet deltog i studien som genomfördes i form av fyra fokusgrupper. Frågeställningen utgår från de policydokument som beskriver EBPP och evidensrörel
Gas cooling is a technique used within the fire service to reduce the risks of the hot gaseous layer and create a better visibility. It is achieved by applying water into the gaseous layer. Successfully performing or implementing this technique is something that has not yet been accomplished in every brigade. This work has been focused on different parameters that affect gas cooling and is studie
Syftet med studien var att generera en teori som har möjlighet att bygga broar mellan etablerade teorier inom motivations- och gruppsykologiforskning genom att undersöka ”Hur ser mönstret ut mellan sammanhållning, motivation och autonomi i människovårdande yrken? ” samt ”Hur påverkas detta mönster mellan sammanhållning, motivation och autonomi av hur lång tid som spenderats i arbetsgruppen?” GrundThe aim of this study was to generate a theory that has the opportunity to build bridges between established theories within the research on motivational and group psychology by exploring ”What is the pattern between cohesion, motivation and autonomy in caring professions?" and “How is the pattern effected between cohesion, motivation and autonomy by how much time spent in the team?” Grounded
I föreliggande psykologexamensuppsats undersöktes adaptivt beteende hos 52 extremt prematurfödda barn vid 6.5-års ålder. Deltagarna följdes upp i den nationella studien Extremely Preterm Infant Study in Sweden (EXPRESS). Barnens adaptiva beteende jämfördes med 41 jämnåriga födda efter fullgången graviditet. Föräldraskattningar med Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System-II (ABAS-II) användes för att In the presented Master’s Thesis, the adaptive behaviour in 52 children born extremely preterm was explored, at 6.5-years of age. The participants were followed up in the Extremely Preterm Infants Study in Sweden (EXPRESS). The children’s adaptive behaviour were compared to 41 peers born at term. Parent’s ratings of their children on the Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System-II were used to evaluat
Syfte: Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad som förklarar förändringen i företags framtida utdelning. Mer specifikt ämnas undersöka om en förändring i kreditbetyg påverkar ett företags nästkommande års utdelning, samt om tidigare observerade samband och teorier håller på den europeiska marknaden. Metod: Denna kvantitativa studie har en explorativ inriktning med deduk-tiv anPurpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to examine what explains cor-porations’ future dividend change. More explicit this thesis in-tends to examine the effects of a change in credit rating as well as examine if previously observed relationships holds on the Euro-pean market. Methodology: This quantitative study has an explorative orientation with a de-ductive approach. Secondary cross-sect
Utländska direktinvesteringar är nyckeln till en global och integrerad ekonomi. Majoriteten av den forskning som bedrivs fokuserar på sambandet mellan utländska direktinvesteringar och ekonomisk tillväxt i NIC- och utvecklingsländer. Denna uppsats undersöker därför sambandet mellan utländska direktinvesteringar och ekonomisk tillväxt i OECD-länder. Data är sammanställd för 22 OECD-länder under åre
Self-levelling flooring compounds (SLCs) are mainly used on concrete floors. Their purpose is to smooth the floors and make them horizontal. The fact that they are self-levelling means that they spread out like water over the floor before hardening to a horizontal layer. Some of them are also advertised as being self-desiccating. A quote from a big manufacturer on the Swedish market regarding thei

Preparative chromatography is an important process step for separation and purification of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other biotechnical products. The technique mainly used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemistry industries is single-column batch chromatography (BC). The major drawback of BC is the trade-off between product purity and process performance. A high purity of the product co
Denna studie granskar publicerade kostnadseffektivitetsmått för malaria- och avmasknings-interventioner i syfte att utreda hur trovärdiga och fullständiga uppskattningarna är. Måtten, vilka uttrycks som kostnad per avvärjt funktionsjusterat levnadsår (DALY), utgör grunden för en rangordning av tre välgörenhetsorganisationer baserat på kostnadseffektivitet. Denna rangordning visar sig vara identiskThis study reviews cost effectiveness figures of health interventions against malaria and intestinal worms, in order to investigate how trustworthy and accurate the estimates are. The figures, measured as cost per Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) averted, lay the ground for the ranking of three charities based on cost effectiveness. This ranking is then being compared with the organization Giv
The amount of data produced is growing rapidly and organizations are struggling to make use of the generated data from the vast amount of sources. Analyzing and interpreting data to find patterns and trends has become a competitive advantage for companies working with customer oriented operations. Many previous studies have shown the value potential of working with big data. In order to create val
