We present a data-driven proof of concept model capable of reproducing expected counterparty credit exposures from market and trade data. The model has its greatest advantages in quick single-contract exposure evaluations that could be used in front office xVA solutions. The data was generated using short rates from the Hull-White One-Factor model. The best performance was obtained from a GRU neur
Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel
Environmental tax measures have the potential to be great tools for achieving sustainable development goals in the EU. The different dimensions of sustainability need to be balanced in order to achieve sustainable development goals. In the EU, tax law has been focussed too much on the economic dimension, and too little on the environmental dimension, which could lead to environmental sustainabilit
This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse
This thesis investigates how impact assessment can contribute to organisational learning and whether there are ways to enhance it. To answer these questions, the research takes a form of a qualitative case study carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Reach for Change which represents a single case. The research data is drawn from two primary sources of evidence: organisation
Despite the entrenched and acknowledged rational and emotional duality characterizing the organizational nature, much academic research tends to favor both the former aspect and quantitative approaches to study organizational emotionality. As the process of organizing is itself emotional, this lack of problematizations on emotional organizational constructs calls for more qualitative studies that
The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. Recent modelling s
The purpose of the Master Thesis is, on one hand, to develop a traction control system, integrating and implementing two controllers in the vehicle, each of them previously designed and tested separately, to test them together to evaluate their performance. On the other hand, to develop accurate and well-performing controllers, the data acquisition needs to be precise so parameters and devices nee
With the evolving technology of mobile electronics and other forms of communication methods, an increasing demand of speech intelligibility is introduced. In a conference room for example, multiple microphones are placed directly in front of the speaker in order to pick up clean speech. However, several challenges still exist. For instance the distance between speaker and microphone will not be fi
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on aggregate foreign trade. We use annual data from 15 Asian countries over 30 years. The exchange rate volatility is derived primarily based on GARCH models and MASD. This thesis applies both the static fixed-effect panel data model and dynamic GMM model, then compares the obtained results and uses the OLS method
This study is an analytical look at how new ventures approach keeping individuals within their organizations in order to ensure the long-run success of the venture. There is a particular focus on the non monetary incentives that are offered by employers and the influence they have on the intention for the individual to remain in a new venture. This has been done by following the framework of the j
I denna studie undersöks bildningsprocesser och klimatologisk betydelse av hur av årsmoräner bildas vid Gornergletscher, en stor alpin dalglaciär i de södra schweiziska Alperna. Ett särskilt fokus ligger på moränryggar som har bildats mellan 2007 och 2019, en period då glaciären har retirerat snabbt och det har skett en tydlig förtunning av isfronten. Dessa moräner uppvisar olika geomorfologiska oThis study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. These morai
The participation of grassroots communities became a must of development projects. International organizations advocate for the inclusion of community members to ensure projects’ success and sustainability. However, community engagement is often undermined by existing power dynamics between implementing agencies and communities. Power imbalances result from the lack of interdependency between acto
This paper examines the sufficiency of a trading method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of past stock prices. The SVD method is frequently used as a tool to reduce data noise, compress big-data, and analyse data components. Hence, the method is well suited to form a ground for a predictive tool of price developments. From the predicted pattern, a strategy was formed by construction of
Aim: Phantoms are used daily in the clinic for radiotherapy. As more realistic phantoms are requested, 3D printing could be used but the design of a realistic phantom is difficult. The purpose of this project was to design and 3D print an anthropomorphic phantom that could be used for verification of complex treatment such as stereotactic arrhythmic radioablation treatments without the use of pati
This report presents and discusses the status quo of Chinese ricewine culture. It’s unfortunate to note that many Chinese young people prefer beer/red wine rather than our own wines because they think it is out of date, from the wine packaging to drinking utensils. I use five main methods for the research: history reviewing/ interview/ field trip/ mind-mapping/ gesture video. Findings sho
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure
