We demonstrate a tool for identifying, prioritizing and evaluating vulnerabilities in software. The tool aims to improve security in products by making maintenance more efficient and robust. Software components and release versions are matched with vulnerability information from open resources. The results are visualized on several different levels, ranging from product portfolio and individual pr

This study investigates the relationship between prior entrepreneurial intent and perceived learning outcomes of students entering a new venture creation programme.

Climate change is a fact and effects everybody on this planet, whether its humans, plants or animals. There is a comprehensive agreement about the mechanisms on how aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth, but there is a need of more knowledge to fully understand climate change and the strength of the aerosol radiative forcing. The aim of this thesis is to investigate if the SM
We have investigated the CO induced faceting of a Rh(553) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The sample was exposed to a CO pressure of 1x10^-3 mbar, at different sample temperatures. The experiment was performed in the STM lab at the division of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University. Accordin
Den här studien undersökte effekter av en stresshanteringsintervention, som genomfördes med åtta elever på en svensk gymnasieskola under hösten 2015. Hypoteserna inför projektet var att interventionen som varade under åtta veckor skulle ha en positiv effekt på användandet av adaptiva copingstrategier samt reducera upplevd stressnivå och öka självskattad hälsa.

The paper employs Jegadeesh and Titman (1993)’s overlapping ranking period method to build winner-portfolio and loser-portfolio, and thereafter conducts empirical studies on the momentum and contrarian effects on the Chinese stock market from 2000 to 2010. One thing worth mentioning here is that the author processes the data using her own Matlab codes instead of doing tremendous manual work. It is

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
