We investigate long-run stock–bond correlation using a model that combines the dynamic conditional correlation model with the mixed-data sampling approach and allows long-run correlation to be affected by macro-finance factors (historical and forecasts). We use macro-finance factors related to inflation and interest rates, illiquidity, state of the economy, and market uncertainty. Macro-finance fa

Although small round gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) possess only a small degree of shape anisotropy, they support localized surface plasmon resonances and exhibit intrinsic optical anisotropy. These inherent features promote depolarized light scattering, whose temporal fluctuations carry information about rotational Brownian dynamics, and thus can be used to describe the size distribution of round Au

“The implications and applications of biotechnology continue to be at the centre of public debate. In the light of rapid scientific advances and novel insights, the multi-faceted discussions are particularly fierce with regard to patents on DNA–related technology. In the often very emotionally-led debate basically two directly conflicting schools of thoughts can be identified. Some people believe

Aerosol particles affect Earth’s climate system by scattering and absorbing light. The perturbation of the climate system caused by a change in aerosol configuration due to anthropogenic emissions has recently improved. However, the radiation balance and hydrological cycle of Earth are also highly influenced by clouds: a small change in cloud configuration can have a large effect on the climate. C

Hippocampal extracellular levels of noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were monitored with the microdialysis technique in freely moving rats. In one experiment 30 min samples were collected during 24 h of continuous perfusion, and the monoamine output was compared to the behavioural activity state, as arbitrarily classified in three categories:

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new and exciting technology with wide potential implementation areas, from medical to industry. One of the fields from which AR is gaining attention is the manned security industry. Unfortunately, this is also one of the areas in which formal studies on AR is lacking. Ais study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge by evaluating an AR-application designed for the Microsof

At the time for the starting point of this master thesis, the Electrolux Healthy Home department where at a high extent looking into how a system of products that could communicate with one another could give the user a better experience in the home. Products that where looked into for coupling where for example an air purifier with a robotic vacuum-cleaner, maybe also coupled with any other

Uppsatsens syfte är att åskådliggöra den preventionistiska strömningen inom straffrätten och de uttryck den tar sig för att bekämpa terrorism. Framställningen står på två ben, förfältsgärningar och preventiva tvångsmedel, och de båda delarna redogörs inledningsvis var för sig. Först presenteras de osjälvständiga brottsformerna i allmänhet och sedan redogörs för de specifika gärningar som återfinnsThis thesis is mainly concerned with the inchoate offences and the preventive coercive measures in the Swedish criminal law, with a specific focus on the antiterrorism-legislation. My aim is to visualize the broad deterrentist trend, which in this thesis is called “preventionism”. To do so, the dependent forms of crime in general are presented in the first part, together with the specific inchoate

Sweden, often listed as one of the world’s most gender equal countries, has one of the most gender segregated labour markets in the world, as well as one of the largest gender differences in regard to the number of days with parental leave. This paper investigates whether there is an interaction between occupational groups’ gender composition and the effect of average days with parental leave on t

Inom den offentliga förvaltningen är det allt vanligare att beslut fattas automatiserat. Med automatiserat beslutsfattande menas att beslut fattas maskinellt utan att någon mänsklig beslutsfattare är en del av beslutsfattandet. I Sverige fattas dagligen hundratusentals beslut utan mänsklig inblandning. Frågor om automatiserat beslutsfattande har fått ökad uppmärksamhet genom en bestämmelse i den nThe use of automated decision-making is becoming more common in the public administration. Automated decision-making means that decisions are made automatically without any individual being part of the decision-making. In Sweden, hundreds of thousands of decisions are made every day without human involvement. Automated decision-making have received increased attention through a provision in the ne

In 2010 the Swedish armed forces ended 100-years of conscription and introduced fully employed professional soldiers in their battalions with the purpose to be more usable and have higher readiness. Almost ten years later the turnover has been more than threefold to what was expected when the change was introduced. This study looks into the motivational factors of Swedish professional soldiers. Th

Bemanningsbranschen har under de senaste årtiondena vuxit kraftigt i Sverige och är idag en etablerad del av arbetsmarknaden. Behovet av att reglera bemanningsbranschen rättsligt insåg EU redan tidigt och efter många turer och skilda åsikter i frågan så kunde EU 2008 beslutaom bemanningsdirektivet. Direktivet skulle vara genomfört i Sverige senast 2011 men blev klart först i januari 2013 då uthyrnThe temporary agency work business has grown considerably over the last decades in Sweden. The need to regulate the business by law was recognized early on by the EU. After a long process and many divergent opinions, the Temporary Agency Work directive was finally agreed upon in 2008. The directive should have been implemented in Sweden in 2011 but the law enforcing it, uthyrningslagen, was not fi

This thesis provides a critical overview of the development of corporate governance practices in the EC. It seeks to determine if the Community should follow the US response to corporate governance fallouts or instead promote its own practices, taking into consideration the legal and economic backgrounds of the Member States. The analysis is supported with economic data, practical and doctrinal vi

Abstract Author: Carina Ljungwald Title: The Social Services’ Provisions on Crime Victims – a study of their origins and purposes Supervisor: Kerstin Svensson In 2001, crime victims were introduced as a target group in the Swedish Social Services Act. Alongside special provisions concerning children, youths, elderly persons, persons with functional impairments, substance abusers and family caregiv

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how the pay-performance relationship behaves for firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange large cap list and attempt to draw inferences about how nation-specific aspects characterizing listed Swedish firms affect the relationship. Method: The method is a regression analysis using regressing performance on pay along with the control variables fir

The aim of this essay was to examine how school principals view their own and school’s responsibility when a child is suffering and in what way the principals believe that school can promote a favorable development for a child who is suffering. By thematically open interviews of four school principals at various schools in a southern swedish municipality I examined their view on their own and scho

The purpose of this analytical authoethnography is to share my experiential and theoretical reflexions on how entrepreneurs keep a positive attitude and learning approach during the entrepreneurial process, specially when facing failures. First, I will analyze some theories related to entrepreneurial learning and recovery processes. The analysis is made in the light of my own experiences, which di
