Anknytningens påverkan på implicita emotionella åsikter gentemot vårdnadsgivare studerades genom ett experiment som innehöll en affektiv priming uppgift liknande den välkända lexikala beslutsuppgiften ”lexical decision task” (LDT). Reaktionstiden i millisekunder för varje prime och mål ord kombination registrerades och användes som indikator för den associativa styrkan mellan de två. Två anknytninThe influence of attachment quality and style on implicit emotional opinions towards caregivers was measured using an affective priming task very similar to a lexical decision task. The reaction time in milliseconds for each prime and target word combination was recorded and used and indication of associative strength between the two. Two attachment tests was administered, the ASQ-Sw questionnaire

Using the methodology introduced by Campbell et al. (2001), we decompose and evaluate the historical volatility patterns of the Swedish stock market in the time period 1985 - 2012. The volatility at all component levels, including idiosyncratic risk, appear to be fairly stable throughout the sample, with the exception of temporary dramatic increases during periods of economic distress. As opposed

The issue of the study is to find common denominators among successful analytical competitors and to analyze how the analytical capability is composed and how one can assess a higher maturity of it. Furthermore, is it to give suggestions on a road map to develop the analytical capability at FINN. To leverage analytics leadership is essential. Furthermore, a process orientation, experimental cultur

This study illustrates in detail the Hull and White reduced-from model for pricing CDS spreads and applied the model to real bond data. Following the assumption of the model, that the yield spread between a defaultable bond and a default-free bond only captures the probability of default, we aim at calculating a number of static CDS spread. To attain the CDS spread for different reference entities

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
