Scientific assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), inform policymakers and the public about the state of scientific evidence and related uncertainties. We studied how experts from different scientific disciplines who were authors of IPCC reports, interpret the uncertainty language recommended in the Guidance Note for Lead Authors of the IPCC Fifth AssessScientific assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), inform policymakers and the public about the state of scientific evidence and related uncertainties.

Many scholars agree that current fast fashion system is highly unsustainable and causes many environmental and social challenges worldwide.

In this master thesis it's concluded that Swedish municipalities performs various traffic data collections in recurring measurement points annually and beside those complementing measurements are done at additional areas of interest. The study shows that most often traditional measurement methods, like pneumatic tubes, are used since they are considered reliable and accurate. Pneumatic tubes,

In this study we compare different volatility models on their ability to forecast one day ahead volatility and value-at-risk (VaR). We compare five different GARCH specifications: GARCH, IGARCH, GJR-GARCH, EGARCH and APARCH, as well as EWMA, each paired with six different conditional distributions. These models are used to forecast volatility and VaR one day ahead using daily return data from the

Although previous researches have covered various kinds of identity studies, the identity issues particularly among the Chinese immigrants to Sweden remain poorly understood. Therefore, this thesis contributes to the vast amount of research by focusing on how and why the Chinese immigrants’ identities have developed after immigration. Based on nationalism and national identity theories in modern C

There is also little understanding of the underlyin

Such an analysis gives a more complete picture of Paul’s argumentation and helps us understand and evaluate it. The analysis indicates that Paul is attempting to
