Plenty of research has been made on strategic asset allocation, but the focus on foreign market exposure is sparse. This paper analyzes how the investor’s portfolio choice is affected when exposed to four foreign assets, one domestic asset, and the risk free interest rate. Two models are developed using dynamic programming for an investor with iso-elastic utility and lognormal asset returns. The p
Beginning with the question of whether, and how, gender equality can be measured, this thesis is written with the ambition to evaluate one aspect of the Swedish government’s equality goal, equality in power and influence, with the help of an index. It departs from a discussion within the field of gender studies where gender equality is found to be an “empty” word that can be used for a variety of
Corporate bankruptcy prediction has become a popular research topic since 1960s, and default risk management plays a more significant role among investors, debtors and the lenders. The Altman’s z-score model, the KMV model, and the Naïve model are well-known and widely used bankruptcy prediction models. This paper focuses on examining the bankruptcy prediction accuracy of these three models in the
Förhandlingsoffentligheten gäller som huvudregel för svenska domstolar enligt 2 kap. 11 § RF samt i enlighet med vad som gäller enligt art. 6.1 EKMR angående rätten till en rättvis rättegång. Inskränkningar av förhandlingsoffentligheten får göras utifrån förutsättningarna i 5 kap. 1 § RB och 16 § FPL om de särskilda sekretessbestämmelser som finns uppställda i OSL är tillämpliga. Vad jag undersökePublic attendance is the general rule for hearings in the Swedish courts accordingly to the Swedish constitution and art. 6.1 ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) which states the right to a fair trial. Under certain statutory conditions there are possibilities for holding hearings in camera, even though this is a restriction of the principle of public attendance. In the general courts the
The C99 standard for the C programming language introduced the new type qualifier restrict which acts as a hint for the compiler and the programmer that the specified pointer is not aliased by any other pointer if the pointed object can be modified. By using restrict on pointers the compiler may, if implemented and allowed, optimize code even further. This thesis investigates how well the C compil
This thesis examines the effects of a low real interest rate environment on household savings. It specifically analyses whether there can be an increased importance of the income effect relative to the intertemporal consumption substitution effect and whether there can be an increased potency in the wealth effect of the stock market due to the financial assets substitution effect in this environme
En av cykelns största fördelar, förutom att den bidrar till ett hållbart transportsystem, är att den är snabb och smidig att använda. Biltrafikens köer eller kollektivtrafikens tidtabeller påverkar sällan cykelns möjligheter att ta sig fram. Trots att cykeln är gjord för att vara i rörelse står den parkerad större delen av tiden. I examensarbetet ”Cykelparkering vid bostaden – En studie av MalmöcyThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the needs and preferences of cyclists when it comes to bicycle parking at the residence. Although knowledge of bicycle traffic is growing and the Swedish Transport Administration states that bicycle traffic needs to be emphasized, the importance of bicycle parking is often overlooked, especially in residential areas. This thesis shows that good bicycle
Following a time period where a large number of refugees and immigrants had been received by Germany, the German minister of development proposed a new framework for Africa policy in the beginning of 2017 targeting the root causes of poverty and large migration flows. Titled Marshall Plan with Africa, the project aims to establish a new partnership between the continents, highlighting private inve
Youth present either a risk or a great opportunity for change. Traditionally youth have been perceived in binary terms of either as victim of wars or as threats to peace and security. The UNSCR 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security presents a shift in the perception of young people, now regarding them as agents of peace and security. This thesis will shed light on young Palestinians through a case stu
Är vilda humlor hotade av köpehumlor? Tänk dig att det är sommar. Det är soligt och varmt, nästan lite för varmt, och du söker skydd i skuggan. I en hängmatta, med en god bok, en kopp kaffe och nyplockade jordgubbar kan sommaren nästan inte bli bättre. Att vi får lyxen att njuta av solvarma jordgubbar och andra frukter och bär, det har vi bin, humlor och andra pollinerare att tacka för. Så myckePollinating insects are important, not only to wild flowering plants, but also for crops. But the number of pollinators is decreasing all over the world. This is thought to happen mainly because of the lack of suitable habitats but also of diseases and pesticides. The decreasing number of pollinators have led to an increased need of managed honeybees and bumblebees for pollination of crops. This c
A quantitative evaluation method for nonlinear elastic characteristics of piezoelectric materials in high-power operation using constant current (CC) measurements was established. The admittance curves obtained from conventional constant voltage measurements are unsuitable for curve fitting to determine the nonlinear coefficients, due to the hysteresis and jump phenomena in the admittance curve. T
This study aimed to examine which organizational demands social workers experience in their work with women exposed to intimate partner violence and how these demands influence their professional discretion. The study was conducted as a quantitative survey targeting social workers in Sweden working with intimate partner violence. A total of 58 responses were collected. The results show that high w
Projektet handlar om att studera hur en kraftfull V8 motor med extrem prestanda orsakar vibrationer i en växellåda och motorns vevaxel. Kraftiga vibrationer kan både skada bilen och störa föraren. Idén till att studera vibrationerna är att bygga två modeller parallellt: en analytisk approach med Pythonkod och en med den specialiserade simuleringsmjukvaran GT-Suite.The master’s thesis includes a torsional vibrations analysis of an engine crankshaft and transmission in a hypercar. A torsional model is implemented in order to analyze how excitations produced by the engine affect the vibrational dynamics of the system. This is done by analyzing resonance frequencies and response amplitudes at critical speeds. A frequency-domain driven Python model is built in p
