In this thesis three different methodologies to convert Point-in-Time (PIT) probability of default (PD) to Through-the-Cycle (TTC) PD are applied on a sample of large Danish firms for the period 2005-2014. These kind of methodologies are important for preventing pro-cyclicality in the capital requirement, i.e. how much capital banks need to hold in order to cope with unexpected losses. The methods

In this study artificial neural networks (ANNs) are utilized for time series forecasting. Analyzed time series includes two Google AdWords metrics and revenue for an e-commerce. Classes of ANNs included in the analysis are feedforward multilayer perceptron’s and two types of recurrent neural networks (RNNs), specifically Jordan- and Elman neural networks. Since ANNs lack econometric interpretation

Tryckmätningar underlättas ifall sensorn som används har kontakt med mediet, eller om där är ett membran mellan. Detta projekt har undersökt ifall man kan komma runt det och använda en kraftsensor på utsidan av en PVC-slang för att uppskatta trycket inuti.In peritoneal dialysis it is important to make sure the pressure doesn't exceed certain limits. It is desirable to do the measuring without inserting anything inside of the tubing containing the dialysate. This project uses a load cell pressed against the outside of the PVC tubing to estimate the pressure inside. The interval tested is approximately atmospheric pressure +- 220 mBar. The temper

In this project the concept of digital power was examined. Though not a new phenomena, the concept was new to Micropower. The company develops a wide array of battery chargers and wanted to include this concept in future generations of their products. The reasoning behind the decision is the possibilities of smoother development, better error handling and more communication. As a first step differ

Av artikel 8 i Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (nedan Europakonventionen) följer att alla och envar som befinner sig inom en konventionsstats jurisdiktion ska tillförsäkras en rätt till familjeliv. Innebörden av rättigheten är framför allt att den enskilde åtnjuter ett skydd mot ingripanden från det offentliga som kan utgöra en kränknArticle 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as the European Con-vention) states that everyone within the jurisdiction of a Contracting State shall be guaranteed a right to family life. The meaning of the right is above all that the individual enjoys protection against interference from the public sector which may constit

This study attempts to examine the existence and development of price differences in the car sector in Europe. The time period is between 1995, the year of the Swedish entrance in the European Union, and 2003. The study is based on data supplied by the European commission, on a bi-annual basis. Both price differences in general in the EU, and price differences between Sweden and other countries in

Most Favoured Nation clauses are often incorporated into agreements between online platforms and suppliers. These MFN clauses entail that the prices that are set by suppliers on these platforms, are not higher than the prices on other platforms or the suppliers’ own websites. In this thesis it will be discussed what the competitive effects of MFN clauses are and how they should be assessed under E

Almost every organizations works with projects, since a project is a onetime task with a clear beginning and an end and have never be done before. It is hard to say that a specific project method will suit all projects. It is up to the project manager who leads the project to choose a project method and use this as a tool to get the project to be successful together with a project team. Some resea

The purpose was to explore how the staff at women’s shelters handle potential conflicts as part of their overall mandate as well as in their practical day to day work. This qualitative study was based on interviews carried out with staff members at women’s shelters. The people interviewed were chosen for geographical reasons -they were staff members working in shelters in Scania- and partly for re

The conodont fauna recovered from the Arenig strata of the "Stenbrottet" quarry represents two biozones, i. e. the underlying Baltoniodus triangularis/B. navis Zone and above, the Paroistodus originalis Zone. The thickness of the sediment and the composition of the conodont fauna were compared with those of contemporaneous localities from Öland, Västergötland, Jämtland and Bottenviken. I

Behovet av lösningsmedel som kan byta ut farliga organiska eller fossil-baserade lösningsmedel har uppstått för att minimera utsläpp av farliga restprodukter. En lösning till detta behov är att istället använda vatten. Vad man har hittat är att vissa rektioner i vatten kan sker snabbare än i organiska lösningsmedel. Att byta ut lösningsmedel är inte den enda lösningen på att minimera slöseri i kemThe effect that organic solvents have on the environment and the intrinsic risk that come with using them should be limited. By replacing organic solvents with less harmful solvents, such as water, and with more effective catalysts can risks intrinsic to organic solvents be minimized or eliminated. The focus of this project is testing if Michael addition using transition metal salt catalysts with

This thesis explores how transaction costs affect the optimality of hedging when using Black-Scholes option pricing model. Further, a number of models developed to improve the hedging results of Black-Scholes, when accounting for transaction costs, are analysed and compared. To numerically evaluate these strategies, extensive Monte-Carlo simulations are generated and the results of the strategies

There is today an ongoing debate about Fair Trade and its consequences. The way to reach an understanding about the producers lives is important if the future will be liberated from the uneven access to the market. Today the free market is dominated by a few multinational companies and for poor producers there is no chance to compete at the same level. If industrial countries continue to exploit d
