The following study explores the economical and political determinants influencing the Swedish parliamentary election outcomes, through the lens of statistical modeling. With analysis of election data from 1970-2022, we employed both multiple regression and ridge regression to explore the following key variables: immigration, taxation, unemployment, inflation, poll performance, incumbency, margina
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
This thesis aims to aid the consultancy Living Institute in evaluating the perceived effects of the cross‐cultural training courses it provides to a wide variety of clients. To do this we study the company in relationship to its clients, mapping out its theoretical foundation as well as its strategies for teaching culture. In order to gain a deeper understanding of what the company teaches and how
The aim of this thesis is to study the legitimacy of interventionism which is based on human rights protection. In order to provide a wide and deep presentation of this complex phenomenon, this thesis is related to liberal democracy perspectives and the wider liberal tradition. To tie this study empirically this thesis provides a case study of humanitarian intervention in Yugoslavia in 1999. By se

Despite extensive efforts through various international initiatives to reduce global warming, it has been determined that human induced climate change is here, that the present scale of disruption of the climate is unprecedented and will continue. Increasing weather volatility can be expected, which will most likely increase exposure to weather related hazards, e.g. wildfires, flooding.

This master thesis explores the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) within the European Union, focusing on how it integrates the concept of double materiality into corporate governance. The directive mandates that companies not only account for the financial impact of sustainability on their operations but also consider their broader environmental and societal effect. This stu

The city of Malmö has seen growing media attention recent years in light of increased reporting on its anti-Semitism. The media image is one where the Jewish population is constantly harassed and threatened. This study aims to clarify whether or not there has been an actual increase of anti-Semitism in Malmö, what might be causing it, and with this shed light on modern anti-Semitism. Limiting the
Women have succeeded in management positions for over a generation. These positions have conventionally been understood as male and thus difficult for women to be in. On the basis of a qualitative study this thesis investigates the everyday practices and positions of women in management. Material has been collected from ethnographic methods primarily based on participant observations and interview
Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. The water absorption leads to changes in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling) of the polyamide. In this work, the sorption and diffusion of water vapor are investigated through gravimetric experiments and numerical simulations. The mixture theory framework is adopted to d
National University of Singapore When applying for my exchange semester I knew that I wanted to go far away to experience new and exciting cultures. In addition, I wanted to apply for schools that have a good reputation, and considering that National University of Singapore is ranked as one of the top universities in the world, I found it as a perfect match for me. The fact that Singapore is a hig
A literature review of methods where different hazards are combined into a multi-hazard index or method are presented in this report. The purpose of the review is to get an insight into approaches to combine different hazards into a multi-hazard index or method. To directly combine hazards, it is necessary to present them with the same unit of measure. This can be done with different measures for
Different strategies have been used to stimulate a return to work (RTW) among individuals suffering from long-term ailments. In Sweden a new law on "resting disability pension" permits disability pensioners to go back to work without jeopardising their benefits. In this study different variables related to RTW during 2000 by means of this legislation were identified among disability pensioners wit
Although the interpretation process of emotional meaning through email communication has been researched through a broad set of theoretical lenses, this particular area of research has not adequately addressed this process of deriving emotional meaning within the scope of the modern multicultural organization. The cultural diversity found in modern global organizations fosters the research inquiry
To fully decarbonise the energy system, electrification is needed as one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden and Europe. The deployment of renewable energy resources plays a central role in electrification and will continue to increase. In January 2024, Svenska Kraftnät published a long-term market analysis with four future scenarios regarding the devel
The global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, no low-emission primary steel production technology has yet been commercially feasible or deployed. Through analysing revisions and additions of European Union climate policy, we show that green hydrogen-based steelmaking in competitThe global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement.

The concept of run-o triangles is widely used within the actuarial eld. Its purpose is to estimate Incurred But Not Reported claims for insurance portfolios, in order to set appropriate reserves that are in compliance with regulatory requirements as well as the company's risk appetite.
