This thesis deals with technical analysis, exploring the profitability of a trading strategy based on buy/sell signals after N-day lows/highs. The strategy is tested on 10 years of data in the Forex market and the Swedish stock market. The results show that significant profit can be made, and this is discussed in light of the hypothesis of weak market efficiency.
This paper examines what the local impact of the research installation ESS might be on the region of Lund and its surroundings. Done by looking at literature concerning agglomeration and clustering, reports on large research installations and interviews with local actors. The impact of the ESS will be much dependent on whether the local actors respond correctly to the opportunities from the instal
The subject of this paper is ship carvings in Skåne, Blekinge, Halland, Småland, Västergötlandand Östergötlandand to investigate if there is any difference between the ship carvings at the shores compared to the ship carvings in the inland. But there is a lack of these carvings in what would be called inland so a third category is used. This category is ship carvings at larger lakes and is central
This report discusses the implementation of machine learning algorithms for personalising question selection in a questionnaire-based self-report app for individuals suffering from mental health issues. A so-called \textit{Random Forest - Genetic Algorithm} (RFGA) hybrid prediction method is used to find an optimal set of relevant questions to pose to new users in the app. A complementary ad-hoc p
Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri
Thanks to simple and straightforward calculation methods it is rather easy to estimate gas temperatures in small- or medium sized enclosures; however, the problem becomes more complex if fire safety analyses are to be performed in large spaces where the hot gas layer cannot be regarded as uniform. Using a multi-zone modelling concept could be a good alternative for such situations. However, few su
This thesis examines so-called pancake sentences, an agreement anomaly found in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In these languages, predicative adjectives typically agree with their subjects in number and grammatical gender. However, with certain subjects the predicative takes a t-form, corresponding to singular neuter, regardless of the number and gender of the subject. Such sentences are commonlyThis thesis examines so-called pancake sentences, an agreement anomaly found in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian.

Astrocytes play a crucial role in the onset and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal disorder marked by the degeneration of motor neurons (MNs) in the central nervous system. Although astrocytes in ALS are known to be toxic to MNs, the pathological changes leading to their neurotoxic phenotype remain poorly understood. In this study, we generated human astrocytes from induce
Background: This study evaluates deep learning (DL) using gene expression (GEX) and preoperatively available clinical data (PreopClinic) to predict sentinel lymph node macro-metastasis (SLNM), and explores their potential for guiding axillary surgery de-escalation and supporting prognostic assessment.Methods: We retrospectively included 6,836 clinically node-negative (cN0) T1-T2 patients with inva
Climate change and disasters pose a serious risk to sustainable development. In the South local coping strategies are an important element of adaptation to climate and disaster risk. Such strategies have arisen because of the limited assistance provided by urban actors and associated social security and governance systems. In contrast, in the North local coping strategies are comparatively poorly
In 1736 Samuel Hesselius, former pastor for the Swedish parishes in Pennsylvania, donated a collection of ‘American curiosities’ to Lund University in Sweden. Within less than twenty years, however, the collection had apparently disappeared. In the course of the past three decades the lost ethnographic artefacts have received increasing attention, but for a variety of reasons the collection has reIn 1736 Samuel Hesselius, former pastor for the Swedish parishes in Pennsylvania, donated a collection of ‘American curiosities’ to Lund University in Sweden.

The presence of graphite particles in gray cast iron commonly implies a good machinability, especially if compared to common steels. However, increasing industrial demands have resulted in a new interest for high-speed machining of these materials with higher performing tool materials than the traditionally used. Thus, the research presented in this paper focuses on evaluating the active tool wearThe presence of graphite particles in gray cast iron commonly implies a good machinability, especially if compared to common steels.

In this paper we present a computational offloading strategy with graceful degradation for executing Model Predictive Control using the cloud. We show a method which allows for seamless control assistance and design of flexible controllers using the edge cloud. We examplify using a cyber-physical-system at high frequency and illustrate how the system can be improved while keeping the computational
This review summarizes the involvement of vitamin K and the extrahepatic Gla proteins matrix Gla protein (MGP), Os-teocalcin (OC) and growth arrest-specific gene 6 protein (Gas6) in the development and progression of diabetes: in particular, complications related to angiopathy and inflammation. High vitamin K intake has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Training and exercises programmes are not independent activities, forming part of a larger, risk-based, process of disaster management preparedness. In order to have an impact on an individual's skills knowledge or behaviours, or to influence organizational learning or procedures, the programmes needs a cyclic and holistic approach. It should focus on clearly identified outcomes that are designed
This paper introduces the concept of 'dynamic capability' (DC) in relation to disaster management - in particular to disaster management exercises (DME). Firstly this paper discusses changes and challenges in DME and the concept of dynamic capabilities as one potential approach dealing with the existing challenges in DME. Thereafter it outlines basic contents of developing DC in DME. The paper con
