This paper compares credit pricing on the bond market and the credit default swap market with focus on countries of the Euro zone and in particular on Greece. For the period 2006 to 2008 we find that the two markets are closely related and that the CDS market is the main forum of price discovery. After 2008 the relationship loosened, however we find evidence that the bond market still is affected

The objective of the study was to analyse the sediment load into the reservoir Norðursjór, which would form in the case of a dam construction in Vestari kvísl, an upstream part of the river Skaftá, in southern Iceland. The main part of the problem studied was to quantify the sediment transported into the reservoir Norðursjór and to model the bed elevation change of the reservoir as a result of thi

This work has evaluated ISO 3795. It was found that ISO 3795 isn’t a suitable method to test interior materials and its use has led to a low level of fire safety in military vehicles. A different test method to be used for fire testing interior materials in military vehicles was suggested; ISO 5660 cone calorimeter. Eleven different interior materials from two military vehicles were tested in the

This paper is a qualitative study of interactions between domestic and EU-level politics. I’ll apply the model of Two-Level Games by Robert D. Putnam on the 2011 Euro-crisis scenario where Finland hindered the negotiations of the new bailout package because they wanted to get collateral as a condition for future loans for the problem countries like Greece. First, a brief overview of the scenario i

This thesis merges the two interests of the author in culture and international development by asking the question of how culture, in various definitions, has been approached in the recent discussions on the role of culture in development. A thoroughgoing question is also what role anthropologists play in these debates, whether or not they have an actual influence on matters of “culture” in intern

This thesis presents methods for estimation and autonomous control of a hexacopter which is an unmanned aerial vehicle with six rotors. The hexacopter used is a ArduCopter 3DR Hexa B and the work follows a model-based approach using Matlab Simulink, running the model on a PandaBoard ES after automatic code generation. The main challenge will be to investigate how data from an Internal Measurement

The paper intends to shed some light on the means that are in force for taxpayer protection since many developments have taken place recently that created uncertainty in this context. Further it seeks to draw more attention to the deficiencies in legislation that taxpayers face when their data is exchanged beyond borders. It is aimed at determining whether current (and accordingly the emerging aut

Sweden has a history of being seen as a tolerant and generous country when it comes to receiving refugees from countries suffering from war. In times of increased influence of radical right-wing parties across Europe, Sweden as the first country decided to grant permanent residence permits to refugees escaping the Syrian war. By applying the Multiple Streams Framework and treating Sweden as a devi

Sweden is often considered a global forerunner of family demographic shifts brought about by increasing individualization and globalization. While modern theories often depict a general movement away from romantic love sentiments and toward more rational, equal and casual exchanges and defamilization, feminist scholarship critiques the optimism of these claims in light of persisting structural ine

In this thesis we investigate the properties of a specific two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) that can be used to explain the data on B->Dtu and B->D*tu, which deviate from the Standard Model (SM) by 3.4 sigma. The 2HDM is the simplest extension of the Standard model scalar sector. Phenomenologically it is very rich with 4 new Higgs bosons: 2 neutral and an electromagnetic charged pair. The 2HDMs exhi

In this paper, it is going to discuss community building in local China by exploring peculiarity of the phenomenon of gendered staff of local community. It argues that the feature of gendered staff is a reflection of the function of local community and the more advanced of the function of local community the less of the feature of gendered staff. Additionally, the function shift of local community

The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to find and illustrate the behaviour of the roof structure of the Reformed Church in Copenhagen, Denmark. Explanatory visualisation results in an enhancement of the understanding of the statical behaviour. The introduction of the report contains the building history of the Reformed Church. A restoration took place in 1987 and our Danish supervisor was part o
