The purpose of this study is to compare the different short-term interest rate models, and to identify the better model within multiple countries. We selected three different types of data from the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. We compare the models with the historical data within these three countries, and figure out whether different countries could have their own best mode

Tanken om en skola för alla har satt sig. Delaktiga under ett och samma tak, med samma möjligheter. Trots detta finns en ganska stor grupp av elever som får underkänt i ett eller flera ämnen. En del elever kan misstänkas vara svagbegåvade, d.v.s. i den nedre delen av intelligensskalan, dock inom ramen för vad som anses vara normalt. Det sociokulturella perspektivet på inlärning och utveckling tar

Studien utfördes i Lunds studentliv och det som undersöktes i studien var vilka personligheter enligt Big five teorin som hade mer eller mindre benägenhet att utveckla ett riskbeteende kring alkoholkonsumtion, att ha destruktiva dryckesmotiv. Sociala strukturer och press, men även fysiska och kognitiva konsekvenser av alkoholkonsumtion var relevant och betydelsefullt för våra hypoteser och slutsatThis study examined which of the Big five theory personality traits that had more or less inclination to develop a risk behavior connected to alcohol consumption, during the time as a student at Lunds University. Social structures and pressures, but also the physical and cognitive consequences of alcohol consumption were relevant and significant for our hypotheses and conclusions. The study result

This thesis explores the way how far-right populist movements manifest themselves through social media. It approaches the problem by taking a political psychology perspective of ontological security which informs the behavioural need of an individual and groups to search for stable identity narratives to create a secure feeling of biographical continuity. The theoretical assumptions further incorp

This study examines the dividend announcement effect on the common stock price by a signaling hypothesis approach on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The event study shows a positive significant cumulative average abnormal return (CAAR) of 1,54 % for positive dividend announcement in the analyst model. For negative- and neutral announcement, the reaction is non-significant. Although, negative dividen

In the regulation of Trafikverket there is many technical requirements that the railway facility should face. The reason for its existence is to create a standardized facility with well balanced requirements that includes implementation and management. But still, sometimes there is a need for violating some requirements, for example when the motive of the requirements are not holding against the m

The punctuality of passenger transport within the Swedish railroad network has been featured heavily in Swedish media. A study done by the European Commission proclaim that the levels of dissatisfaction towards the railroad system is among the top within Europe. The punctuality is strongly connected to faults related to railroad switches, which stands for a quarter of total delays. The switches wi

Modern cars have a wide range of safety features to ensure that the driving is as safe as possible. One of these safety features is called electronic stability control, often abbreviated as E.S.C. The goal of the E.S.C. is to make sure that the car stays on the road even under dangerous circumstances such as a slippery road or the driver committing mistakes. During this project, a simulation progr

This thesis was an investigation to survey how the new automated testing tool LeanFT compared to the older tool UFT. The thesis was an exploration into the tool LeanFT, examining how well LeanFT performed with GUI testing, what features the tool offered and how usable it was for a tester of software. The purpose of this thesis work was to come to a resolution on whether the LeanFT tool was a more

Syftet med offentlig upphandling är att offentliga medel ska användas på ett så effektivt och konkurrensfrämjande sätt som möjligt. Det är viktigt att upphandling genomförs affärsmässigt samt att fri rörlighet för varor och tjänster inom EU främjas. Som medlemsstat i EU är Sverige skyldigt att harmonisera svensk lagstiftning med EU-rätt. Efter att ha läst Andrea Sundstrands artikel Jäv och self-clThe purpose of public procurement is to use public funds in as efficient and competitive terms as possible. It is important that procurement is conducted commercially and that free movement of goods and services in the EU is promoted. As a member of the EU, Sweden is obliged to harmonize Swedish legislation with EU law. After reading Andrea Sundstrands article Jäv och self-cleaning i offentlig upp

I studien vänder vi oss till en privat vårdaktör inom närsjukvården där syftet är att bidra med kunskap kring effektivitet och kvalitet samt den eventuella konflikten däremellan. För att möjliggöra undersökningen har vi utgått från följande två frågeställningar: Hur resonerar Capio Närsjukvård kring kvalitet och effektivitet? Samt hur förhåller sig Capio Närsjukvård till den konflikt som eventuell

During the last decade there has been many advances in the field of research focusing on term structure models that include macroeconomic risks. The fact that such risks adds to the predictive power of risk premia is evident. However, there is no such models that includes exchange rate dynamics and accounts for these potentially latent effects on the yield curve. This thesis presents a discussion

A lowered mineral density in the skeletal bones may indicate osteoporosis and an increased risk of fragility fractures. However, lower bone mass does not reveal the whole truth about the status of the bone quality. This thesis investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of 14 trabecular bone plugs in order to get a comprehensive understanding of how the trabecular network changes fro

Since its first recorded instance, the state of emergency has become an integral aspect of the modern nation state’s legal apparatus and is a crucial mode of government crisis management. A state of emergency entails a temporary suspension of the rule of law and deviation from the protection of civil liberties. Emergency powers have been examined considerably within the fields of political science

Både värme och elbolag har krav på sig att mäta sina kunders förbrukning över tid, för att kunna göra en exakt debitering. Denna mätning resulterar i stora mängder data, och på sikt byggs en stor bank med kundspecifik information upp. Informationen kan bland annat användas för att ta fram användarspecifika kostnadsmodeller eller för att förbättra simuleringar över energianvändning i näten. E.ON ä

Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med arbetet är att utifrån ett konsumentperspektiv skildra hur detaljhandlare inom den svenska modebranschen kan använda hållbar marknadsföring för att uppmuntra kunder att välja hållbara plagg i sin konsumtion. Huvuduppgiften är att kritiskt granska den bevisat ineffektiva gröna märkningen av modeplagg som ska indikera ett bättre miljöval, för att sedan undersök

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011,the number of Syrian refugees reached approximately 3 million; nearly half of them are children. Although primary education has always been available, education services for Syrian refugees were subject to frequent changes particularly between 2011-2014. The biggest and most significant step was taken in the 2016/2017 school year as a result of long-

In this study, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), induced polarization (IP) and transient electromagnetic (TEM) measurements were carried out to investigate two possible bedrock depressions as well as possible thermal water intrusion in the Challapampa aquifer, located on the Bolivian Altiplano north of the city of Oruro. Oruro presently cannot satisfy the demand for water and Challapampa aq
