This thesis investigates whether incorporating the Christoffersen independence test into regulatory backtesting frameworks can enhance financial stability by improving the detection of systemic risk. Using daily Value-at-Risk and profit-and-loss data from 13 major international banks over 2018–2022, the study distinguishes between clustered and isolated VaR exceptions, applying event studies and p

This thesis explores how the European Union implements the concept of open strategic autonomy through three recent trade policy instruments: the International Procurement Instrument, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, and the Anti-Coercion Instrument. In response to growing geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the stagnation of multilateralism, the EU has increasingly turned to

Denna fallstudie studerar och analyserar hur Arla bemöter negativa kommentarer på Instagramkontot Arla Sverige. Vi belyser hur Arla förhåller sig till teorier inom Is-sues Management i sin kommunikation på ett av sina Instagramkonton. Vi använder en netnografisk observation samt intervjumetod som insamlingsmetod. Den netnografiska metoden används för att samla in kommentarer från Instagramkontot AThis case study aims to investigate how Arla responds to negative comments posted to their social media in order to gain knowledge of how they take into consideration Issues Management in their social media communication. Through a netnographic observation and two in-depth interviews with Arlas press- and media manager we gather empirical material. The netnographic observation is used to gather co

”Seeing is believing” är ett koncept fött ur människans oändliga nyfikenhet att veta mer. Otvivelaktigt så har modern vetenskap vuxit fram ur denna naturliga strävan efter att vilja veta mer. Från ett tidigt stadium har mikroskopi varit en hörnsten i många vetenskapsdiscipliner. Redan i ett tidigt skede filosoferade mikroskopister kring vad de minsta beståndselarna av naturen är och om vi ens kan Optical microscopy is a fundamental tool in a range of disciplines encompassed by the physical and biological sciences. At the dawn of this millennium, a break-through was made in optical microscopy where super-resolution methods emerged and declared imaging beyond the optical diffraction limit a possibility. Most of these methods are based on fluorescence detection of single molecules. These meth

DescriptionThis thesis consists of two papers. The first gives a game-theoretical treatment of the institutional homogenization of value-oriented firms. It explains why intrinsically motivated, value-oriented firms like non-profits may become similar to for-profit firms in terms of organization and norms. It highlights and explains the pairs: value-oriented and flat organizations in contrast to va

For quite some time, cognitive science has offered philosophy an opportunity to address central problems with an arsenal of relevant theories and empirical data. However, even among those naturalistically inclined, it has been hard to find a universally accepted way to do so. In this article, we offer a case study of how cognitive-science input can elucidate an epistemological issue that has causeFor quite some time, cognitive science has offered philosophy an opportunity to address central problems with an arsenal of relevant theories and empirical data.

Roads are subjected to traffic loads and varying climate conditions that eventually lead to different types of damage. Moisture in asphalt is one of the major causes of premature failure in asphalt pavements. In addition, moisture in the unbound layers and temperature in the asphalt concrete (AC) layers affect the structural response of pavements under loading, such as the tensile strain at the bo

This article chronicles the most recent history of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) located in Hamburg, Germany, with particular emphasis on how this national laboratory founded for accelerator-based particle physics shifted its research program toward multi-disciplinary photon science.

Isotopic proveniencing has been applied to human inhumations and cremations as well as fauna from the Viking Age site of Birka and the surrounding Mälaren region, located in east-central Sweden. Human enamel from inhumations has been measured for strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotope ratios (petrous bone from cremations was measured for strontium only) to obtain information on mobility and diet.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to document historical trends and socioeconomic inequalities in ill health outcomes related to alcohol consumption, narcotics use and tobacco smoking over the seventeen years prior to the implementation of the Swedish government’s first strategy for alcohol, narcotics, doping and tobacco (ANDT) in 2011.

A major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery. The chapter investigates the intervention into the Haitian Turn by two scholars specialized in the history of human rights: Lynn Hunt, who advocates a universality-analysis of the HaitA major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery.

The goal of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate a proposal as how to integrate a new motor system for the top horizontal roller of an ASSA ABLOY weather shelter. This required changes to the current system, both in hardware and software. The main challenge was that the old motor could be back driven by the system, and the replacement motor could not. Thus, a solution where the new moto

The New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development constitutes a new initiative to development, created by the African states themselves with an ultimate goal to be more integrated in the global economy on more equal terms and thereby reduce poverty within the continent. NEPAD sees democracy, good governance and human rights as necessary for sustainable development. This thesis examines the ass

Med den globala uppvärmningen förutspås klimatet i arktiska och subarktiska miljöer förändras påtagligt. Enligt IPCCs senaste rapport kan både temperatur och nederbörd öka dubbelt så mycket som det globala genomsnittet, och störst ökning väntas under vinterhalvåret. Många känsliga ekosystem och miljöer kommer med stor sannolikhet att påverkas redan vid små förändringar. Ett exempel på sådana miljöThe on-going global warming is projected to have large impacts on the arctic and subarctic environment. Especially vulnerable are ecosystems with narrow climatic envelopes and with small possibilities of adaptation. An example of this is the palsa mires, subarctic mire complexes with patches of permafrost. Palsas are peat mounds with a frozen core, formed by the expansion and upheaval of the segre
