VIX indexet, även kallat "the fear gauge" är världens ledande indikator för framtida volatilitet. Indexet beräknar ett 30 dagars framtida förväntat värde på volatiliteten kring USA’s börs S&P500. Indexet baseras på köp och säljoptioner med S&P500 indexet som underliggande tillgång. Optionerna som används in- nehar två olika löptider som vi kallar för nära och nästa periods-optionThe purpose of this paper is through an empirical approach understand the dynamics of VIX and investigate to what degree the benchmark computed by CBOE is representative of its definition. The method implemented is of a design where one constructs a hypothetical world in which synthetic options data are produced by the Bates-Heston model. This implies an underlying and known volatility with chosen

Despite this global consistency there is a variation within countries with a higher prevalence of obesity within rural areas. The overall aim was to explore the prevalence of obesity and factors that influence the development of obesity in a rura

Popular Abstract in Swedish Anhöriga – aspekter på börda, livstillfredsställelse och effekter av stöd. Med en ökande befolkning av äldre och en samtidig minskning av möjligheter till hjälpinsatser inom såväl kommunalt som landstingsstyrd vård och omsorg, kommer många av oss ta hand om äldre familjemedlemmar, släktingar och vänner. Hur kommer detta att påverka oss? Ungefär 20 % av den vuxna befolWith an aging population and a reduction in social services provided by the municipality, a huge majority of us will take care of elderly family members, relatives and friends in need of assistance. How will this affect our lives? Approximately 20% of the adult population in Sweden, mainly middle-aged persons, identify themselves as family caregivers. Many of these caregivers are working and, at

The Profiles of Occupational Engagement in people with Severe mental illness (POES) instrument was developed to study time use profiles of occupations and measure the extent they are characterized by engagement. However, the dimensional factors are not known. The aim of the present study was to establish the internal construct validity of the POES using the Rasch measurement model.

Övervikt och sjuklig fetma är ett ökande problem i hela världen och ett hot mot folkhälsan. Sjuklig fetma definieras som ett BMI på över 40 och är en kronisk genetisk sjukdom. Fetma förknippas ofta med nedsatt livskvalitet. Fysiska, känslomässiga, och sociala funktioner försämras vid fetma. Magsäckskirurgi (Gastric bypass) kan vara en bra metod för patienter med sjuklig fetma att få en långvarig v

Studies have shown that people with mental illness are at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Contributing causes may be lifestyle and atypical antipsychotic drugs that this patient group normally takes. At this point psychiatry have focused on treating the patient’s psychiatric symptoms and not physical health problems such as high BMI, abnormal waist/hip ratio, elevated blood pressure, and di

The development of this paper was inspired by the increase in the number of different eco-label like quality assurance schemes established in the European Union in the past few years. These schemes are flooding the market and the researchers raise the question, is there enough credibility in these schemes? This piece of research is based on 58 eco-labeling like food schemes and dissects them into

The purpose of this study was to investigate patients' experiences of care in connection with hip fracture.

There is an increasing expectation from research funding bodies that projects in working life and policy research (and other fields) should demonstrate clear and demonstrable impacts on policy and practice. In turn, many also argue that impact, beyond scientific impact, can be leveraged by stakeholder engagement. But what do we mean by stakeholder engagement in the conduct of working life research?

Air quality standards are set to protect public health. The values of the standards are often based on health effect studies, without any statistical considerations. In order to judge if a standard is met measurements of ambient air quality are taken at monitoring stations, and these measured values are used to decide whether or not the standard has been violated. In this paper we examine the stat
