This thesis investigates methods that estimate the Expected Shortfall correctly by passing the Acerbi-Szekely (2014) backtest in both stressed and calm periods. This backtest is added to in this thesis to test against both under- and overestimation of ES. This research is relevant due to the recent shift in the Basel’s Fundamental Review of the Trading Book from using Value-at-Risk as the leading

Det finns ett behov av att fylla kunskapsluckor gällande psykologiska konsekvenser av rasism för personer med arabiskt ursprung.

I stället för att se barn som offer i kriser skulle man kunna använda deras anpassningsförmåga och förändringsvilja som resurser i krisberedskapsprocesserna. Ett sätt att öka samhällets motståndskraft kan vara att lägga till krisberedskap i skolans läroplan (s.k. School-based Disaster Preparedness, SBDP). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka uppfattningar om SBDP i Sverige genom en fältstudieChildren are valuable resources when it comes to disaster preparedness and they should no longer be seen as vulnerable. Since they spend about five days a week in school for almost the whole year, it is natural to consider preparing them for hazards while there. The purpose of the present research is to explore the perceived importance and feasibility of implementing school-based disaster prepared

Dagens samhälle digitaliseras i en allt snabbare takt i samband med tekniken utvecklas och möjligheterna blir flera. En teknik som på allt senare tid har börjat få uppmärksamhet är maskininlärning, men vad är det och hur kan det användas inom byggbranschen? Vad maskininlärning betyder är att man låter en algoritm gå igenom stora mängder av data för att lära sig om ett specifikt problem. Detta görMachine learning has the potential to improve processes and revolutionizeeconomies on a global level and that is also true for the construction indus-try. Machine learning has started to get attention in recent years as computerpower have increased and the cost has reduced. The purpose with machinelearning is train an algorithm to process large quantities of data for essentialinformation. This can

Especially people that live in areas where grains and legumes are the staple food source, as well as vegan and vegetarian groups, may be more vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The presence of phenolic compounds i

With low cost and high efficiency, use of airborne infrared thermography imaging from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has become a widely used technique to measure plant water stress. With that, the use of UAV mounted thermal camera as a precision agriculture technique to map crop water stress is not trivial and its success is depended on variety of factors which are still needed to be studied an

Salt inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is found abundantly in adipose tissue and may have a role in the development of diabetes. SIK2 is downregulated in insulin-resistant and obese individuals, thereby providing a new potential target for therapeutic solutions. Dysfunctional adipose tissue is observed in obesity and this is correlated with impaired insulin signalling, which might contribute to imbalanced
