Målrelaterad ersättning i diabetesvård

Att ersätta vårdgivare baserat på prestation och kvalitet har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag inom vården och ett allt mer beprövat sätt att skapa incitament till förbättrad vårdkvalitet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka effekten av så kallad målrelaterad ersättning på kvaliteten i den vård av patienter med diabetes typ 1 som bedrivs inom den svenska primärvården. Undersökningen består a

Systemic Risk of China’s Financial Sector: Evidence from the Stock Market

China, with the fast developing financial market, experienced two dramatic stock market crisis in recent ten years under government constrains. Thus, monitoring the systemic risk in China is crucial and meaningful. This paper applies CoVaR methodology to measure the dynamic systemic risk of China’s financial market from 1996 to 2016. The financial market is divided into bank and non-bank sectors.

The Impact of Economic Centres on City Level Growth in China - A panel data analysis of urban economic growth

China’s space economy is highly fragmented with a few mega cities and a large periphery with less advantageous cities lagging behind. While this have been the explicit approach of China’s policymakers to achieve rapid growth, less developed cities have been challenged as the suppliers in the process. The purpose of this paper is with the use of a production function examine the spatial spill overs

Situating Gender in a Postnational Military: An Analysis of Changing Gender Attitudes in Peacekeeping Operations

This thesis looks at the Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations and sees how the centre constructs its own identity to align with the discourse of postna¬tional defense, and how it evaluates NATOs peacekeeping operation in Afghani¬stan. Through this, the thesis aims to analyse the hegemonic struggle between the discourses of traditional military structure and the cosmopolitan postnational

Can Demographics improve the forecast accuracy of Inflation? Evidence from United Kingdom

This paper seeks to determine whether demographics can increase the forecasting accuracy of United Kingdom’s inflation rate. Five forecasting models were employed, namely: the benchmark ARMA model, the SW (2002) model with and without a demographic factor and the FHLR(2003) model with and without a demographic factor. Both the out of sample and the in-sample forecast results indicates that, factor

Capital flows and non-performing loans: An empirical study of the European debt crisis

This study investigates the relationship between capital imports and non-performing loans (NPLs) in the context of the European debt crisis. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data set covering 22 countries in the European Union (EU) between year 2001 and 2014. All individual estimations in the empirical analysis indicate a significant and negative relationship between capital imports and

Kindergarten, Parents’ Education and Reading Literacy Achievement - a multiple regression model

Skolelevers läsförmåga är ett komplext fenomen som har många bakomliggande faktorer, men kan möjligtvis förutsägas av en mindre modell. Påverkas läsförmågan vid slutet av årskurs fyra av dagisnärvarande och föräldrars utbildningsnivå? Kan läsförmåga förutsägas av kombinationen av dagisnärvarande och föräldrars utbildningsnivå? Resultat från IEA PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy SurStudent achievement in reading is a complex phenomenon that depends on many factors, but perhaps it can be predicted with a smaller model. Does attending kindergarten as well as parental education affect reading achievement at the end of the fourth grade? Can reading achievement be predicted by the combination of attending kindergarten and parental education? Results from the IEA PIRLS (Progress i

Robustness Analysis when Estimating Economic Capital for Credit Risk

Credit risk modeling is an important part of the nancial protection used by banks during times of turbulence in the economy. More precisely, the modelling is about estimating how much economic capital a bank needs to hold in order to survive during an extreme loss. This thesis is about improving the robustness for the estimation of the economic capital, when it is updated as time passes. A decreas

Modern professionell dualitet - Hur chefer i hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisationer jämkar verksamheternas arbete

I studien framgår det att i problematiken som organisations- och styrprinciper inom hälso- och sjukvården har skapat är det verksamma chefer som anpassar och styr verksamheterna för att hantera just denna problematik. Genom att utforma egna hybridorganisationer där de verksamma cheferna kombinerar olika organisationsformer skapar de en struktur anpassad enligt verksamhetens kontext. Samtidigt infl

Har paketering har lett till ökad nyproduktion av kommersiella fastigheter?

Efter en regeländring i inkomstskattelagen i juli 2003 gjorde en ny typ av fastighetsförsäljning entré på marknaden: paketering, vilket innebär att en fastighet säljs i bolagsform snarare än som fast egendom. Genom detta förfarande blir fastighetstransaktionen skattefri (eller lågt beskattad), vilket också har lett till att paketering numera är en vanlig företeelse i Sverige. Detta innebär en uteb

Employees’ Information Systems Security Policy Compliance: Understanding employees’ perception of their ISSP compliance through the theoretical lens of the social bond theory.

Företag har traditionellt koncentrerat sig på den tekniska biten av IT-säkerhet, med brandväggar, virusskydd och så vidare. Men eftersom många säkerhetsincidenter sker på grund av att företagets anställda inte följer företagets informationssäkerhetspolicy bör IT-säkerhet även innefatta den mänskliga faktorn. Med min studie så vill jag undersöka hur anställda uppfattar hur de sociala banden på arbe

Vikten av mätbara mål i Scrums retrospekt

I vår uppsats har vi tittat närmare på sprint retrospective meetings som är en av ceremonierna i den agila utvecklingsmetoden SCRUM. Vi har undersökt vikten av att använda sig av ett målfokuserat arbetssätt och om det är nödvändigt att sätta upp mätbara mål för att nå framgång i retrospektet. Genom en litteraturstudie har vi skapat en generell bild av vad ett retrospekt ska innehålla och hur man p

Mitigating Default Risk in the Consumer Credit Market

This paper aims to evaluate recent policy updates in a credit scoring model and determine if the new model is efficient, as well as further investigate other potential risk factors. In order to evaluate the policy changes, the proprietary dataset is first categorized and estimated by a logistical regression model and secondly the dataset is transformed according to new policies and then simulated

Massively Parallel BVH Construction Using Mini-trees

Med mer kraftfulla grafikkort har möjligheterna utökats för vilka grafikmetoder som kan utföras i realtid. För en sådan metod, raytracing, används speciella data- strukturer, och för att kunna användas i realtid behöver dessa byggas upp snabbt.The Bounding Volume Hierarchy is an acceleration data structure used in ray tracing, allowing for faster intersection tests between rays and triangles. The goal of this thesis was to take one algorithm for rapidly generating such data structures, the Bonsai algorithm, which was initially implemented on a CPU, and instead implement it on a graphics processing unit. Many parts of the al- gorithm go

Cognitive Assisted Blogger

In this thesis a cognitive application is developed using IBMs cloud platform Bluemix and its Watson services. The goal of the application is to make it easier for bloggers and journalists to publish online during conferences. To reach the goal the application was designed with, among other things, functionalities for speech to text, publish on social media and automatically generated hashtags. Th

Experiences of (in)security: An analysis of the Women, Peace and Security agenda

The Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS) argues for women’s rights and recognition of women’s situations in all stages of a conflict. Previous research has shown how refugee women seem to be overlooked in international legislation. Existing research considering the WPS agenda has mainly focused on issues of implementation and discourses. This study aims to explore how conceptualizations of secur
