In this master thesis we investigate the predictive performance of several well-known Value at Risk (VaR) estimation methods, given a specific company setting. The thesis is conducted at a Swedish financial institution that wants to be able to measure foreign exchange (FX) risk induced by cross-currency transactions carried out by the company. The goal of the thesis is to provide empirical evidenc

Estimating 3D hand poses from RGB images is a challenging task. In this work we construct efficient neural networks to regress sparse 3D skeletons consisting of 21 keypoints in the hand. Additionally heatmaps are regressed to locate the keypoints in 2D. The networks created can be divided into three parts: feature extraction, heatmap regression and 3D pose regression. To obtain the 3D coordinates

Our purpose in this paper is to discuss Swedish nature in a specific context, namely that of ecotourism. The wider framework is the concept of cultural economy in relation to nature. Nature is culturally constructed – given meaning – by the actual doings of e.g. ecotourism operators, and this meaning is transformed into cash flows through tourist practices. It is this cultural construction of natu

The relation between intra-partum cardiotocography (CTG), cord blood acid-base status, Apgar score and neonatal morbidity was studied in 1228 consecutively live-born babies and in a subgroup of 200 babies (148 babies with a 1 min Apgar score < or = 8 and 52 randomly selected babies with a 1 min Apgar score > or = 9). The scores for the individual components of the 1 min Apgar score were strongly a

Four methods for deriving partial atomic charges from the quantum chemical electrostatic potential (CHELP, CHELPG, Merz-Kollman, and RESP) have been compared and critically evaluated. It is shown the charges strongly depend on how and where the potential points are selected. Two alternative methods are suggested to avoid the arbitrariness in the point-selection schemes and van der Waals exclusion

Business opportunities are a chance for a company to grow its activity and to further the aggregate welfare of the society as a whole. Corporate opportunities rules and their functional equivalents should enable companies to develop their business activities when directors discover those business opportunities. Companies need to be certain that they can legally appropriate those business opportuniBusiness opportunities are a chance for a company to grow its activity and to further the aggregate welfare of the society as a whole.

This paper presents a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) phase-locked loop (PLL), with an output frequency centered at 54.65 GHz. It demonstrates a mode-switching architecture that considerably improves the lock time, by seamlessly switching between a low-noise mode and a fast-locking mode that is only used during settling. The improvement is used to counteract the increased lock-time caused by cycle-slipsThis paper presents a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) phase-locked loop (PLL), with an output frequency centered at 54.65 GHz.

Det saknades länge explicit reglering avseende barns rätt till inflytande över den egna vården på hälso- och sjukvårdens område, undantaget vissa regler i speciallagstiftning. På senare år har det införts bestämmelser som uttryckligen markerar barns rätt i svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning hanterar situationer därFor a long time, there was no explicit regulation of children’s right to influence their own care in the field of health care, except for certain rules in special legislation. In recent years, such provisions have been introduced in the Swedish healthcare legislation. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how Swedish health care legislation deals with situations where children without decision

As Sweden advances toward large-scale hydrogen production for industrial applications, low-grade waste heat (≈80 °C) from electrolyzers becomes available. A proposed solution is to integrate this heat between the two condensers in a combined heat and power plant. This can be done with different configurations, which were setup and studied. At full load, introducing 15 MW of heat increased electric

Föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § stadgar att barnets bästa skall vara avgörande för alla beslut i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Barnets bästa är en princip som går att finna i såväl internationella dokument som i nationell lagstiftning. Begreppet barnets bästas innebörd är ej uttryckligen definierad i varken de internationella dokumenten, såsom barnkonventionen, eller i svensk nationell lagst

Studiens målsättning har varit att ur ett energibesparingsperspektiv samt ekonomiskt perspektiv utvärdera termostatiska cirkulationsventiler (termiska ventiler) som används i varmvattencirkulation (VVC). De frågeställningar som belystes i studien var hur värmeförluster från VVC med termiska respektive fasta ventiler varierar, om det är ekonomiskt lönsamt att installera termiska ventiler jämfört meThe study's objective was, from an energy-saving and economical perspective, evaluate thermostatic circulation valves (thermal valves) used in hot water circulation (HWC). The issues that have been highlighted in the study were how the heat losses from HWC with thermal valves varies from HWC with fixed valves, whether it is economically viable to install thermal valves compared to fixed valves

The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory in Lund performs dating on geological and archaeological samples. Examples of material that we date are wood, charcoal, peat, macrofossils, bone and marine shells. The analyses are based on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).Natural 14C can be used in numerous applications, of which radiocarbon dating, with the possibility for dating back to about 50000 years, is
