This thesis aims to investigate if Moody’s is more accurate than logistic regression and the Merton model in predicting default by firms issuing corporate debt after the financial crisis. This is achieved by comparing the Expected Default Probabilities (EDPs) in Moody’s migration table published in their annual default study reports against the calculated EDPs from logistic regression and the Mert
Theoretical option prices can be computed using several different pricing models which make numerous assumptions about the markets and the underlying asset. Depending on those assumptions, the models have different strengths and weaknesses which make them more suited to a specific type of market. This study evaluates six different pricing models implemented in MATLAB, and introduces a combined mod
Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra och förklara för vilka åtgärder som lagstiftaren kan vidta för att skapa konkurrens på marknader som innehåller ett naturligt monopol. Denna åtgärden är viktig för att kunderna ska känna sig trygga då monopolisten inte har möjlighet att ta ut vilket pris som helst. De olika regleringsmöjligheterna är upphandling, tillsyn, prisreglering och tredjepartsinträde, dessaThe purpose of this paper is to list and explain which precautions the legislator can take to create competition on a market that is part of a natural monopoly. The regulation is important to make the customers feel protected and by prohibiting businesses to price the commodity however they want. The different legislation possibilities are public procurement, supervising by a regulatory authority,
Denna studie ämnar undersöka samspelet mellan den mediala gestaltningen av en stad samt de strategier som används i försök att påverka densamma. Studien avser därmed öka kunskapen om skapandet och förmedlandet av platsvarumärken samt den strategiska kommunikationens betydelse för denna process. Med en hermene-utisk ansats har kvalitativa intervjuer samt kvantitativ såväl som kvalitativ inne-hållsa
Äldre personer riskerar i större utsträckning än yngre att utveckla malnutrition. Malnutrition uppstår på grund av otillräckligt intag av näringsämne vilket i sin tur leder till obalans i kroppens fysiologiska processer. Bakomliggande sjukdomar, läkemedelsinteraktioner, åldrande i sig är orsaker som kan leda till malnutrition. Malnutrition medför fysiska, psykiska och sociala konsekvenser. Därför
Den här masteruppsatsen handlar om Gunnel Vallquists svenska översättning av Marcel Prousts roman På spaning efter den tid som flytt (1913−1927). Uppsatsen inleds med en presentation av författaren och romanen samt en genomgång av tidigare forskning om romanens stil. Här presenteras några drag som är utmärkande för Prousts stil, närmare bestämt bildspråk, precision och rytmiska element. Därefter f

AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

This article analyses the development of FinTech companies in relation to traditional banks in four countries: Denmark, Estonia, the Netherlands and Sweden. Based on approaches drawn from the sociology of markets and field theory, we analyse and theorize about empirical data from secondary sources, official documents and 38 interviews with key actors. Whereas digital technologies have been commonl
The first chapter investigates the relationship between economic media sentiment and individuals’ expectations and perceptions about economic conditions. We test if economic media sentiment Granger-causes individuals’ expectations and opinions concerning economic conditions, controlling for macroeconomic variables. We develop a measure of economic media sentiment using a supervised machine learnin
In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

Denna studie behandlar bemanningsföretag, och mer specifikt vilken roll de har i dagens vårdsektor i Sverige. Diskussionen har avgränsats till att främst behandla hyrläkare. Min ansats är att få en överblick över fenomenet, samt undersöka varför det vuxit fram:
• Var finns hyrläkarna och vilken eventuell problematik finns kring dem
• Varför använder sig de svenska landstingen av hyrläkar
I detta examensarbete behandlas integrationsklausuler i svensk, engelsk och amerikansk rätt. Syftet är dels att utreda vilken rättsverkan integrationsklausuler är avsedda att medföra och i vilken grad de fyller sin funktion i engelsk respektive amerikansk rätt, dels att undersöka i vilken utsträckning samma rättsverkan kan tillerkännas integrationsklausuler i avtal på vilka svensk rätt är tillämplThis thesis deals with merger clauses, also known as integration clauses or entire agreement clauses, in Swedish, English and US law. The purpose is firstly to examine what legal effect merger clauses are designed to achieve and to what extent they are recognized as having that legal effect in English and US law respectively, and secondly to examine to what extent merger clauses can achieve the sa
Multi-component reflection methods have gained acceptance for near surface mapping during recent years. Two case studies from Denmark employing shear wave reflection at different survey scales are presented. The first case study is a small site scale investigation to image the near surface lithology of a contaminated site. Here the S-wave reflection mapping was employed to update the Conceptual Si
Avhandlingens syfte är att utveckla kunskapen om vård som en situerad praktik såväl inom som utanför den medicinska miljön. Avhandlingen problematiserar fenomenet med förfalskade och illegitima medicinska produkter, vilket är ett problem som angår mellanstatliga organisationer, som exempelvis WHO (Världshälsoorganisationen). Samtidigt som rättsliga sanktioner och teknologisk innovation förespråkasThe aim of this dissertation is to advance knowledge about care as situated practices within and beyond medical institutional settings. It addresses the phenomenon of substandard and falsified medical products, an issue that concerns state governments globally and organisations including the World Health Organization. While legal sanctions and technological innovation are strongly advocated to pro
