När datorstödda informationssystem avvecklas behöver den information som systemen innehåller i vissa fall långtidsbevaras (arkiveras). Detta kan bero på att informationen måste sparas på grund av lagstiftning eller för att den har ett historiskt värde. Denna uppsats behandlar digital långtidsbevaring utifrån OAIS-modellen, som är en generell och tekniskt obunden standard för digital långtidsbevari
Denna uppsats börjar med att anta en definition av global rättvisa baserad på John Rawls teori om rättvisa. Utifrån rättvisedefinitionen dras slutsatsen att världen inte är rättvis och därefter analyseras vad Thomas Nagel kallar för problemet för global rättvisa: avsaknaden av en global Leviathan. Önskvärdheten med en global Leviathan ifrågasätt och utifrån detta dras slutsatsen att en global geme
Då mobila system utvecklas, finns det ett antal aspekter som bör tas hänsyn till i denna process, för att den mobile användaren ska få ett så komplett verktyg som möjligt att arbeta med. I vår studie har vi, med utgångspunkt ifrån Task Closure Theory, studerat huruvida ett mobilt system behöver kompletteras med stödjande teknik. Vi har i denna uppsats undersökt aspekten om support technologies (st
In this paper, we investigate the predictive performance of eight common Value at Risk (VaR) estimation methods with the daily data of OMX Stockholm 30 and FTSE 100 indexes. These methods include non-parametric, parametric as well as Extreme Value Theory approaches whose daily and 10-day estimates are then evaluated using the Christoffersen frequency test. The reason why we choose these two stock

Denna uppsats ämnar ge en inblick i Basel II-reglernas pelare II och undersöka hur dessa reglers utformning uppfattas dels av storbankerna och av finansinspektionen, samt hur de ser på det utökade samarbetet med varandra. Vidare ämnar undersökningen också försöka ta reda på hur det kommer att påverka stabiliteten på finansmarknaden och vad de nya sätten att arbeta får för effekt på förutsebarheten
