En av typegenskaperna för finansiell data är dess långa minne och för att modellera detta är Fractionally Integrated GARCH (FIGARCH) en möjlighet. Denna rapport låter FIGARCH jämföra sig med GARCH, IGARCH och EGARCH för volatilitetsprediktering på två index med olika långt minne. Både hur väl olika modeller passar data och hur väl de predikterar out-of-sample value at risk (VaR) studeras. Som test
Microplastics in marine environments are an emerging environmental problem of international concern. This review focuses on the sources, quantities and effects of microplastics, to assess whether or not they pose a threat to marine biota. Microplastics are ubiquitous in marine environments, and have been reported along shorelines, in surface waters, seabed sediments, watercolumn and in a wide rang
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka den sociala omgivningens betydelse för människor som går i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex personer som hade gått i psykoterapi för mindre än ett år sedan.

Continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) and batch reactors were used to examine the difference in methane yields and process stability between fractionated and non-fractionated sugar beet leaves. The hypothesis of this project was that by reducing the amount of juice in the sugar beet leaves the amount of soluble sugars and other easily fermented compounds in the substrate will also decrease, and

The purpose of the thesis is to examine if the Swedish Central Bank, the Riksbank, reacts to changes in asset prices and the strength of the currency when regulating the short term interest rate. The application of backward- and forward-looking Taylor rules will help us evaluate the outcome of the Riksbank’s inflation forecast. The thesis is based on the Taylor rule, augmented with the deviation o
För 10 000 år uppfanns jordbruket – en av mänsklighetens absolut viktigaste uppfinningar som gett oss oanade möjligheter till utvecklig. Sedan årtusende har vi brukat jord för matproduktion, men bara under de senaste 50 åren har det skett stora förändringar i hur vi bearbetar och behandlar våra jordbruksmarker. Extensiva tillsatsmedel, såsom besprutningsmedel och kemisk gödsling, i kombination medAgricultural soil quality is decreasing as a result of the expansion and intensification of agriculture. A key indicator of soil quality is soil organic carbon (SOC) which is degraded when land is converted from natural to cultivated systems and subject to intensive agricultural land use, reflecting reduced soil fertility and productivity. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of crop di
Förnyelsebar energi kan generera jobb i Tyskland Trots ökade elräkningar för hushåll och firmor kommer Tysklands satsningar att öka användandet av förnyelsebar energi kunna verka positivt för den tyska arbetsmarknaden. Fram till år 2030 kommer andelen förnyelsebar elektricitet i Tyskland att öka från dagens ca 30 % till ca 55 %, om republiken lyckas uppfylla sina ambitiösa mål. Även om detta koEmployment is a potential socioeconomic co-benefit of renewable energy deployment. However, renewable energy is often more expensive than conventional resources, putting pressure on the economy, and during an energy transition employments can be lost from the conventional energy sector, e.g. from phased out nuclear plants. The purpose of this study was to clear the field of whether a promotion of

Abstract: During the last couple of decades the spread of wages has increased throughout the western world. Sweden is no exception from this trend, and the increased wage inequality in Sweden can be traced back 1980. This thesis aims to answer whether technology driven changes in demand for labor can explain changes in relative wage, and if increased foreign competition can explain increasing wage
The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a serious pest of honey bees, Apis mellifera, damaging the quality of honey produced and creating a problem for bee industry. Mating behaviour in this species takes place with the help of a male-released pheromone tracked by females over long distances. Previously, the male pheromone was identified to be a blend of nonanal and undecanal but this aldehy
