The fundamental principle of investing, applicable at both systematic and individual levels, is the art of balancing the portfolio between expected returns and acceptable risk exposure. Risk management involves predicting the direction of the underlying asset’s movement and taking appropriate actions accordingly. Traditionally, statistical models such as GARCH have been used to achieve this object
The Swedish school has a democratic mandate to prepare students for life in a society where many important decisions need to be made which require an ability to critically examine and evaluate different arguments. This applies particularly to climate change that will bring changes at all levels of society. Textbooks are important for the education provided in schools as they often define the topic
I samband med nyemissioner är det vanligt att det emitterande bolaget hittar en garant för att garantera den stundande nyemissionen. I utbyte mot betalning förbinder sig garanten att teckna ett visst antal aktier, under förutsättning att dessa blir över i nyemissionen. En garanterad nyemission har ett starkt reklamvärde samt säkrar kapitalinflöde och emissionsgarantier är därför vanligt förekommanIn connection to new share issues it is common that the issuer finds a guarantor, which is willing to secure the new issue. In exchange for a payment, either in cash or in shares, the guarantor commits to subscribe a certain amount of shares, provided that others are not subscribing all shares. Considered that the subscription is a regulated act of law with forms prescribed by law, and not subject
Guantanamo Bay has been in the centre of medias attention for a while, especially since the United States in the year 2002 began placing taliban and al-Qaida detainees there. Much of the attention has concerned the United State's lack of compliance with the Geneva Conventions and the protection that it affords prisoners of war. This thesis takes a look behind the scene, in order to try to esta
The aim of this report is to increase the knowledge about the use of infrared cameras within fire services. A construction made up of several different types of walls and ceilings was built and used in a large scale fire test. The actual temperature was measured with thermocouples and compared to the temperature given by infrared cameras. The heat wave and the infrared images themselves were also
During the beginning of the 1990’s the world witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequently the end of the Cold War. This gigantic change within the international system had large ramifications on how states interacted with each other. Within this context, Sweden had a unique position due to its identity of non-alignment combined with an interest for participation in international pea
Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum can be detected by microscopy, histidine-rich-protein-2 (HRP2) capture test or PCR but the respective clinical relevance of the thereby diagnosed infections in pregnant women is not well established.METHODS: In a cross-sectional, year-round study among 839 delivering women in Agogo, Ghana, P. falciparum was screened for in both, peripheral and placental blood samp
This study focuses on the production of subject–verb (SV) agreement in number in L2 French and investigates the role of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in this particular morphosyntactic domain. CLI is a well-known phenomenon in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research but it has rarely been investigated systematically in relation to SV agreement in French. The participants of the study are 114
Introduction: Anxiety disorders are common and debilitating in children and adolescents. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), delivered both in-person and by the internet (ICBT), is efficacious, but access for young individuals is limited and it remains unclear how to structure the care pathway to maximize benefit.Methods: To inform a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT), a pilot RCT wil
Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to increase and protect crop production. A substantial percentage of the active substances applied is retained in the soil or flows into water courses, constituting a very relevant environmental problem. There are several methods for the removal of pesticides from soils and water; however, their efficiency is still a challenge. An alternative to current me
Current syntheses of CsPbBr3 halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) rely on overstoichiometric amounts of Pb2+ precursors, resulting in unreacted lead ions at the end of the process. In our synthesis scheme of CsPbBr3 NCs, we replaced excess Pb2+ with different exogenous metal cations (M) and investigated their effect on the synthesis products. These cations can be divided into two groups: group 1 d
Metallic nano-particles embedded in transparent dielectrics are very important for new technological applications because of their unique optical properties. These properties depend strongly on the size and shape of the nano-particles. In order to achieve the synthesis of metallic nano-particles it has been used the technique of ion implantation. This is a very common
This chapter delves into the challenges encountered by victims of human trafficking and other forms of labour exploitation in Sweden as they struggle to access social rights and justice. By drawing from theories of victimisation as an interactional process, the study examines the role of professionals such as government agents, social services, unions, and NGOs as facilitators in assisting victimsThis chapter delves into the challenges encountered by victims of human trafficking and other forms of labour exploitation in Sweden as they struggle to access social rights and justice.

Very little is known about what family life looked like for settlers in colonial South Africa during the 18th or 19th century, nor how events over these centuries might have affected demographic change. The primary reason for this lacuna is a shortage of adequate data. Historians and genealogists have, over the last century, worked to combine the rich administrative records that are available in t
For 20 years, induced hypothermia and targeted temperature management have been recommended to mitigate brain injury and increase survival after cardiac arrest. On the basis of animal research and small clinical trials, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation strongly advocated hypothermia at 32-34 °C for 12-24 hours for comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initi
Two methods of setting clocks to show correct time during the 17th century by French Jesuits in China are investigated and their computations and accuracy are analysed. These methods were used to rectify the clocks used for timings of eclipses of the Galilean moons or for lunar eclipses that in turn were used to determine geographical longitudes by Jesuit missionaries in Siam and China. It is f
BackgroundAdvanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most widely adopted form of trauma life support training worldwide, but there is no high-quality evidence that it can improve patient outcomes. The aim of this trial is to compare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients.MethodsADVANCE TRAUMA is a batched stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled
