Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka sambandet mellan CDS spreaden och bond spreaden, samt att jämföra dessa över tid. Detta genomförs genom att testa för ett kointegrationssamband samt Granger-kausalitet mellan CDS spreaden och bond spreaden för varje enhet som ingår i urvalet, och för olika perioder. Också deskriptiv statistik används. Metod: Kvantitativ metod: Augmented Dickey-Fuller test, KPSS, Engl
Many modern psychological theories still assume that humans know about themselves to a wide and accurate extent, in line with the early classical cognitive frameworks. Other competing frameworks, such as dynamic cognition, propose that intelligent behavior can arise from an interaction between the brain, body, and environment, without the need of manipulating explicitly represented knowledge-state
The danger that mass surveillance poses to concepts of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ have long been a topic of fiction as well as of hard academic study. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is a work that some might disregard as mere post-apocalyptic whimsy but its arguably accurate recreation and prediction of the methods utilized by the totalitarian government to maintain absolute control over a po
This master’s thesis analyses the extent to which EU member states and EU bodies have responded coherently towards China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The master’s thesis uses a mixed method approach: it begins with a comparative study of the Dutch, German, Czech and Hungarian policy responses towards the BRI. These are: an analysis of the national policy stance, the foreign policy stance and an ana
Recently, major infrastructure projects have been started in Denmark and this research tries to answer how social aspects are investigated in planning and analysis work before the big projects are constructed. The research has interviewed representative from the Copenhagen Metro Company and Danish Road Directory to uncover the analysis work and how social aspects are included in their work. The re
Denna uppsats undersöker företags moraliska ansvar att respektera de mänskliga rättigheterna, skisserade i UNGP, som i praktiken genomförs genom en human rights due diligence-process. Den analyserar hur moderbolaget ska genomföra en sådan process i förhållande till sina dotterbolag. Uppsatsen beskriver sedan vilket juridiskt ansvar, enligt engelsk skadeståndsrätt och dess duty of care-begrepp, ett
In this thesis, the Wideband Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (WSEMA) estimator is introduced. It combines two recently developed techniques, the wideband dictionary and the Sparse Exponential Mode Analysis (SEMA) to make for an efficient estimator. WSEMA estimates the parameters of decaying sinusoids, without a priori-information about the number of modes present in the signal. WSEMA works with a
Popular Abstract in Swedish I hjärnan finns ett fantastiskt effektivt kontrollsystem för utförandet av olika typer av rörelser. Lillhjärnan är en viktig del av detta kontrollsystem eftersom skador på lillhjärnan kan leda till att fint styrda rörelser blir svårare eller kanske helt omöjliga att utföra. En förståelse av lillhjärnans funktion kan därför leda till en bättre generell förståelse av hur A modular organization has recently been described for the cerebellar control system comprising the forelimb areas of the C1/C3/Y zones in the cerebellar cortex and nucleus interpositus anterior (NIA) of the cat. A module is a group of cells in NIA which receives homogenous climbing fibre input via Purkinje cells that belong to the same set of microzones in the C1/C3/Y zones. The organization of i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jorden är ett ytterst komplext och dynamiskt system. Livet har format planeten och utvecklats i takt med förändrade livsvillkor. Ekosystemen kontrolleras i hög grad av klimatet. Snabbt förändrade villkor innebär betydande påfrestningar för åtskilliga arter och ekosystem, inklusive planetens mest dominerande art, människan. Avhandlingens huvudfokus är att undersöka samsThe Earth is a highly complex and dynamic system. Life has shaped the entire planet and evolved in response to living conditions. Ecosystems are heavily affected by climate. Rapidly changing conditions imply considerable stress on several species and ecosystems, as well as to the most dominant species on the planet. The main focus of this thesis is to investigate climate and anthropogenic interac
This paper describes in what ways hierarchical organizations influence the utilization and dissemination of knowledge. Particular attention will be paid to the role that tacit knowledge has. The reporting system of incidents is one element in a larger institutional process, often termed 'lessons learned' (LL). This process helps to suggest solutions to identify shortcomings and facilitates in maki
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning is accompanied every year by a shared task whose purpose is to promote natural language processing applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2008 the shared task was dedicated to the joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies. This shared task not only unifies the shared tasks of the previous four years under a uniq
Popular Abstract in Swedish Författaren utarbetar och försvarar en version av kantiansk etik som utgår från Kants tanke att det enda som har absolut värde är den goda viljan och att det högsta goda för människor därmed består i dygd samt lycka i proportion till dygd. Avhandlingen består av två huvudsakliga delar, dels en allmän genomgång av vad det innebär att vara en person, dvs en varelse som inThis work seeks to develop a Kantian ethical theory in terms of a general ontology of values and norms together with a metaphysics of the person that makes sense of this ontology. It takes as its starting point Kant’s assertion that a good will is the only thing that has an unconditioned value and his accompanying view that the highest good consists in virtue and happiness in proportion to virtue.
This article deals with the establishment of auteurist criticism in early 1950s Britain, particularly emphasizing the role played by Oxford university film journal Sequence and the writings of future film director Lindsay Anderson.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodomloppet innesluts av kroppens kärlsystem och ombesörjer tillförsel av näringsämnen och syre till kroppens organ och vävnader. Det svarar också för borttransport av slaggprodukter och syretömda röda blodkroppar tillbaka till lungorna för ”omladdning”. Inget organ fungerar bättre än vad som dess blodförsörjning tillåter. Våra organ och vävnader säkrar därför sin egenAngiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent vasoconstrictor that is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, heart failure and atherosclerosis. In this thesis, the efficacy and safety of Ang II receptor blockers (ARB) were evaluated. The vasomotor effects of Ang II in endothelium-denuded human coronary arteries were characterized by in vitro pharmacology and the Ang II receptor mRNA levels were qua
