In this paper we show that a Kelly trader is indifferent to trade a derivative if and only if the no-arbitrage price is uniquely given by the minimal martingale measure price, thus providing a natural selection mechanism for option pricing in incomplete markets. We also show that the unique Kelly indifference price results in market equilibrium in the sense that no Kelly trader can improve the mag
”Djuren! Våra moraliska och nationella gränser” (Gränsløs nr 11 2021) har fokus på hur människor, framförallt i Sverige och Danmark, kan förhålla sig till hästar, grisar och oxar, i både nutid och dåtid. Numret är redigerat av Johanna Rivano Eckerdal och Mia Krokstäde. Författarna i numret är verksamma inom filosofi, etologi, etnologi, medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, sociologi, historia, arkeo
Objectives: The aim was to describe the patients' experience of undergoing prostatic artery embolization.Methods: A retrospective qualitative interview study was undertaken with 15 patients of mean age 73 years who had undergone prostatic artery embolization with a median duration of 210 min at two medium sized hospitals in Sweden. The reasons for conducting prostatic artery embolization were clea
Industrial chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been associated with reduced fertility in women, including longer time-to-pregnancy (TTP), higher odds for infertility, and earlier reproductive senescence. Fertility is highly dependent on the ovarian reserve, which is composed of a prenatally determined stock of non-growing follicles. The quantity and quality of the follicles
High-resolution paired analyses of δ13Ccarb and δ13Corg from a new drill core from Gotland, Sweden, demonstrate asynchronous positive change in the carbon isotope records during the onset of one of the major Silurian biogeochemical events known as the Mulde Event or “Big Crisis”. The detailed carbon isotope record presented here provides Δ13C (the difference between δ13Ccarb and δ13Corg) and allow
The short-distance behaviour of the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contribution to (g − 2)μ has recently been studied by means of an operator product expansion in a background electromagnetic field. The leading term in this expansion has been shown to be given by the massless quark loop, and the non-perturbative corrections are numerically very suppressed. Here, we calculate the perturbative QCD c
The literature on catch-up cycles has not yet systematically conceptualized how catch-up dynamics differ between the various industries that are emerging in the green techno-economic paradigm. We address this gap by connecting catch-up cycle theory with an industry typology from global innovation systems (GISs) literature, which distinguishes four generic industry types with footloose, spatially s
The evolution of sex chromosomes, and patterns of sex-biased gene expression and dosage compensation, are poorly known among early winged insects such as odonates. We assembled and annotated the genome of Ischnura elegans (blue-tailed damselfly), which, like other odonates, has a male-hemigametic sex-determining system (X0 males, XX females). By identifying X-linked genes in I. elegans and their o
Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a more extensive distal arterial occlusive disease compared to non-diabetic patients. Diagnostic imaging is a necessity to identify the location and extent of the arterial occlusion in acute limb ischemia (ALI). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the most commonly used modality and the diagnostic performance with CTA of calf arteries may
The velocity of the COVID-19 pandemic spread and the variable severity of the disease course has forced scientists to search for potential predictors of the disease outcome. We examined various immune parameters including the markers of immune cells exhaustion and activation in 21 patients with COVID-19 disease hospitalised in our hospital during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia
The 21st century has seen a rise of optimism about the prospects for African economic development, and Ethiopia, with its rapid economic growth in the last two decades, is at the forefront of this current wave of optimism. The rapid growth has been achieved under a policy focus on the agricultural sector – another aspect of development that has seen a renewed wave of optimism in the 21st century.

Context. We present the early installment of the third Gaia data release, Gaia EDR3, consisting of astrometry and photometry for 1.8 billion sources brighter than magnitude 21, complemented with the list of radial velocities from Gaia DR2. Aims. A summary of the contents of Gaia EDR3 is presented, accompanied by a discussion on the differences with respect to Gaia DR2 and an overview of the main l
In translation from preclinical to clinical studies using photoacoustic imaging, motion artifacts represent a major issue. In this study the feasibility of an in-house algorithm, referred to as intensity phase tracking (IPT), for regional motion correction of in vivo human photoacoustic (PA) images was demonstrated. The algorithm converts intensity to phase-information and performs 2D phase-tracki
Context. High-precision stellar analyses require hydrodynamic 3D modeling. Testing such models is feasible by retrieving spectral line shapes across stellar disks, using differential spectroscopy during exoplanet transits. Observations were presented in Papers I, II, and III, while Paper IV explored synthetic data at hyper-high spectral resolution for different classes of stars, identifying charac
Context. High-precision stellar analyses require hydrodynamic 3D modeling. Such models predict changes across stellar disks of spectral line shapes, asymmetries, and wavelength shifts. For testing models in stars other than the Sun, spatially resolved observations are feasible from differential spectroscopy during exoplanet transits, retrieving spectra of those stellar surface segments that succes
Long-term stability is one of the major challenges for p-i-n type perovskite solar modules (PSMs). Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of fully laser-patterned series interconnected p-i-n perovskite mini-modules, in which either single Cu or Ag layers are compared with Cu/Au metalbilayer top electrodes. According to the scanning electron microscopy measurements, we found that Cu or Ag top electro
Dark matter is abundant in the universe, yet its composition and nature are unknown. If dark matter consists of new particles with nonzero interactions with Standard Model particles, it could be produced and detected or inferred by collider experiments. This thesis describes searches for dark matter models with new spin-1 force mediators coupling dark matter to quarks, using the ATLAS detector at
