This thesis investigates a methodology for quantification of model risk in option pricing. A set of different pricing models is specified and each model is assigned a probability weight based on the Akaike Information Criteria. It is then possible to obtain a price distribution of an exotic derivative from these probability weights. Two measures of model risk inspired by the regulatory standards o
During the past decade, scholars have produced a vast amount of research using linked historical individual-level data, shaping and changing our understanding of the past. This linked data revolution has been powered by methodological and computational advances, partly focused on supervised machine-learning methods that rely on training data. The importance of obtaining high-quality training data
A subpopulation of neurones in the cerebellar nuclei projects to the inferior olive, the source of the climbing fibre input to the cerebellum. This nucleo-olivary projection follows the zonal and, probably also, the microzonal arrangement of the cerebellum so that closed loops are formed between the neurones in the olive, the cerebellar cortex and the nuclei. The nucleo-olivary pathway is GABAergi
It has been suggested that speakers with an L1 with lexical tones may have an advantage when it comes to perceptually discriminating between different tones in another tone language (Kaan, Wayland, Bao & Barkley, 2007). Other studies in L2-learning show that this is not entirely the case (van Dommelen & Husby 2009, So & Best 2010). A model of typological pitch prominence (Schaefer &
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige insjuknar två barn i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1 diabetes) varje dag. Typ 1 diabetes (T1D) är en kronisk autoimmun sjukdom som kan få livshotande konsekvenser vid utebliven behandling. Sverige har den högsta incidensen av T1D i hela världen efter Finland. Förutom att den delvis är ärftlig vet man inte vilken eller vilka faktorer som triggar sjukdomen. Sedan mittType 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13266634 in th
‘The model of crisis’ is a culturally shared and widespread idea of human reactions to a number of misfortunes, such as accidents, diagnosis of disease, divorces, becoming a parent of a disabled child, etc. The crisis model conveys the idea of coming to terms with unwanted experiences while advancing through different “phases”, for example phases of “denial”, “processing”, and “acceptance”. The
The objectives of the work presented in this thesis have been to develop molecular methods for (i) detection of Clostridium botulinum in food and clinical samples, and (ii) monitoring the expression of the neurotoxin gene, cnt, during different growth phases and under different growth conditions. For the diagnosis of botulism, a real-time PCR-based method including an internal amplification contr
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur, och under vilka omständigheter, könsfördelning i ledningsgruppen påverkar företags lönsamhet i forskningsintensiva branscher. Vi föreslår att innovationsförmåga utgör en mellanliggande variabel i sambandet mellan könsfördelning i ledningsgruppen och lönsamhet. Metod: En tvärsnittsstudie utförs där vi genomför en kvantitativ analys på 291 fPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how, and under what circumstances, gender diversity in top management teams affect firm performance in R&D intensive industries. We suggest innovation capabilities as a mediator in the relationship between gender diversity and firm performance. Methodology: A cross-sectional study is conducted based on quantitative data of 291 compani
In many cases different projects encounter unexpected problems, even though careful planning has been done. In most situations it is possible to derive problems from a lack of communication. This study is done by reviewing structures in an organization in order to investigate why problems in communication arise. The study tries to identify methods that are believed to help minimize the errors. Th
This master thesis aims at improving vehicle positioning in high-speed movement scenarios where global navigation satellite system (GNSS) does not work well. The standard 802.11p, as one of the WiFi family members, it can support to share vehicle information between vehicle and vehicle or between vehicle and infrastructure in a high-speed movement environment. Without the help of GNSS, the vehicle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advances quickly through society, with driverless cars presented as a revolutionary technological advance that can make roads safer and transport more efficient, whereas automated weapons are either viewed as undesirable, or as an unavoidable development. The objective of the present work is to, through the comparison between automated driving and automated
År 2017 anger 255 av 290 kommuner i Sverige att de har bostadsbrist. Detta innebär att utbudet av bostäder inte möter det behov och den efterfrågan som finns i kommunen. Den nationella prognosen för antalet bostäder som ska byggas fram till år 2025 är 710 000 och grundas på den förväntade befolkningsutvecklingen. Något som inte förklaras av siffran är vilken typ av bostäder som ska byggas. De finnThe lack of housing in Sweden is a problematic question of big importance. Based on the clarification of the Swedish law related to municipal housing responsibility, this study has been conducted with the purpose of investigating whether a statutory housing supply liability is of importance to municipal housing planning. To clarify its importance, interviews have been held with 21 representatives

The purpose of this study was to analyze hospital social workers experiences of asking patients and relatives about violence within the family. This study was based on a qualitative research design where we interviewed six hospital social workers at two children's hospitals located in the southern part of Sweden. We analyzed the collected data with selected theoretical perspectives about profe
This thesis discusses the appraisal that deals with the standpoint of risks in criminal cases, i.e. the courts risk evaluation. This thesis answers the following questions: 1. How does the court set the existence of a risk in an actual case? and 2. What type of proof makes the foundation for that type of hypothesis? and 3. What should the court act to avoid the production of a pure guess in the en

I svensk rätt finns det ett begränsat ansvar för underlåtenhet att förhindra andra personers brottsliga gärningar. Den 1 juli 2016 infördes ett nytt stycke i Brottsbalken, 23 kap. 6§ 2st. Lagen infördes för att kunna hålla ledare inom kriminella sammanslutningar ansvariga för brott som begås med deras vetskap inom sammanslutningen. Remissinstanserna till lagförslaget uttryckte kritik mot kriminaliIn the Swedish legal system there is limited responsibility for failure to hinder other people´s criminal acts. As of July 1st of 2016 there is a new paragraph in the 6th section of the 23rd chapter of the Swedish Penal Code. It was introduced in order to be able to keep leaders of organized crime responsible for the crimes that are, with them knowing, taking place within the organization. During
Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. The aim of this thesis was to identify and quantify residual anthropogenic radioacti
