Return models and covariance matrices of return series have been studied. In particular, GARCH and SV models are compared with respect to their forecasting accuracy when applied to intraday return series. SV models are found to be considerably more accurate and more consistent in accuracy in forecasting. Covariance matrices formed from Gaussian and GARCH return series, and in particular, return s
The focal point of this thesis is the peacebuilding environment in Nepal following the end of the civil war in 2006. A fieldwork investigation was conducted focusing on the perceptions of inhabitants of Kathmandu on peace and peacebuilding issues using semi-structured interviews. By investigating these perceptions the study seeks to answer three main questions: -How can the contrasting perspecti
This essay is a rational choice study sculptured after Allison, Zelikows famous study, Essence of decision. It debates the options Putin had when he annexed Ukraine’s, Crimean peninsula? We try to put ourselves into the shoes of Putin to see what he sees and to make an investigation. What else could he have done and for what reasons? There are four options debated, 1, to annex Crimea with illegal
Over the past few years the EU has seen a surge in reports showing that analogical products of dual quality are being sold in different parts of the Union. An East – West divide has been noticed in the way that products of identical branding and packaging are of poorer quality in the Central and Eastern European shops, but not in the Western ones. The aim of the research is to investigate if the l
This thesis aimed to discover the underlying causes for the drastic loss in support for the Sunshine Policy and the role of the Ministry of Unification throughout its duration. The Sunshine Policy was a new approach to inter-Korean relations by the progressives in South Korea which, despite initially strong support, would eventually become disfavoured among large parts of the population. An establ
We live in a busy world, where the demand of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad products has increased rapidly in a relatively short time. Despite of being an easy and fast way to add more vegetables to the daily diet, RTE salads have a serious underlying risk and the amount of vegetable-derived foodborne disease outbreaks has been increasing. The aim of the present study is to protect plants against contam
In this project, an electromagnetic side-channel attack has been made by exploiting the information leakage from a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and an implemented advanced encryption standard with a 256-bit key (AES-256). The FPGA-board was a Nexys-4 from Digilent with Artix-7 FPGA. The attack was partially successful. A few subkeys were successfully extracted from AES-256 with only 2000-3
Recent advances in upstream production of biopharmaceuticals have not yet been matched by equivalent advances in the downstream processing. As chromatography is currently the primary downstream processing method in production of biopharmaceuticals new methods for multicolumn processes are being developed. This paper investigates one such method, the three-column periodic counter-current (3C-PCC) p

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological processes that occur in women who are in a psychologically violent relationship and what it is that causes them to leave the relationship. We have selected five autobiographies whose content relates to the purpose of this thesis. Our method is a thematic content analysis used for analyzing texts. The autobiographies that we choose show wome
Det finns brister gällande tillgängligheten och delaktigheten för alla när det kommer till den allmänna kollektivtrafiken. Personer med funktionsnedsättning exkluderas på så sätt att de möts av barriärer och hinder som exempelvis stora avstånd mellan hållplatslägen, höjdskillnader och obekväm väntetid. Variationen av barriärer är stora och hur de vidare upplevs och skapar hinder. Trots utförda tiThere are flaws when it comes to accessibility and participation for all people when it comes to public transportation. People with disabilities are sometimes excluded when it comes to dealing with barriers and obstacles, for example large distances between stops, height differences and uncomfortable waiting periods. The variation of barriers, how they are perceived and how much of an obstacle the
Buildings worldwide account for 30% of energy consumption and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) represent roughly 38% of a building’s consumption. Therefore, energy savings are crucial for sustainability. The complexity of buildings, with diverse physical domains and large-scale components, presents challenges to achieving energy-efficient operation. Implementing high-performance co
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of cancer, characterized by a particularly poor prognosis. Subsequently, it has a very low five-year survival rate of only 6%. At the clinic, patients are either diagnosed at advanced stages where care is more palliative and with few therapeutic options or, when diagnosed at earlier stages, respond very positively to first-line treatments b
This thesis explores how companies should manage their digital customer journey in a business-to-business context. In prior research, academic gaps related to diverse customers and internal capabilities’ influence on the digital customer journey have been identified. Thus, this thesis aims to explore how a case company should manage their digital customer journey and what internal capabilities, re
Under de senaste åren har en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål uppkommit i de svenska domstolarna; sexsomniinvändningen. Med denna invändning påstår försvarssidan att den sexuella handlingen har begåtts i sömnen, vilket medför avsaknad av medvetenhet och uppsåt. I brottsbalken stadgas att om inget annat är föreskrivet är en gärning endast ett brott om den företas med uppsåt. Om åklagaren inte lyckas moIn recent years, a new objection in rape cases has arisen in the Swedish courts; the sexsomnia objection. With this objection, the defense claims that the sexual act was committed during sleep, leading to the perpetrator lacking awareness and intent. The Swedish Criminal Code stipulates that, unless otherwise prescribed, an act is only a crime if committed with intent. Granted that the prosecutor
År 2017 antogs lag (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, LFF, med syftet att fungera som ett alternativ till systemet för godmans- och förmyndarskap i föräldrabalken (1949:381). LFF infördes för att ge enskilda möjligheten att kontrollera sina framtida ekonomiska och personliga förehavanden. Målet med den nya lagstiftningen var att öka den enskildes integritet och rätt till självbestämmande. FramtidsfIn 2017, the Act on powers of attorney for the future (2017:310) was adopted with the aim of serving as an alternative to the system for limited guardians and administrators in the Parental Code (1949:381). The Act was introduced to give individuals the opportunity to control their future financial and person-al affairs. The goal of the new legislation was to increase the individual´s integrity an
Skogsbruket utgör en ekonomisk tillgång för enskilda skogsägare. Samtidigt spelar skogen en central roll för bevarandet av den biologiska mångfalden, då den fungerar som livsmiljö för många skyddsvärda arter. Artskyddsförordningen (2007:845) innehåller bestämmelser om fridlysning av vissa djur- och växtarter. Fridlysningsbestämmelserna kan inverka på skogsägarens frihet att bruka skogen genom att Forestry serves as a valuable economic resource for individual forest owners. Simultaneously, forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity by providing habitats for protected species. The Swedish Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) contains provisions aimed at safeguarding these species, which can restrict forest owners' freedom to use their properties through prohibiting logging
