This doctoral dissertation comprises three independent essays on information transmission and crisis spillover in the financial markets. The research questions are examined in the context of the foreign exchange market, the stock market and the global banking system.The first paper, The Response of Exchange Rates to Central Bank Communication: A Textual Analysis Approach, investigates how European
In this paper I discuss the challenge of visualising ongoing and repeated state violence and impunity in Thailand. Human rights activists commonly assume that photographs hold political power. This assumption can be doubted. Even if there are material traces of the violence, they cannot guarantee visibility, and, as Ariella Azoulay points out, photography of violence risks depoliticizing by equati
This study utilizes recently published environmental extensions to the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) to compare production-based, consumption-based and technology-adjusted carbon emissions for 44 countries and country groups for the period 2000 to 2014. Results show some significant shifts in global emission trends compared to similar studies of the period before 2009. For 20 European Union (
According to a popular view, religious fictionalism requires the atheist subject to have independent motivation/justification for all of her religious actions. I challenge this view and argue that all that is needed is a holistic justification of the subject's fictionalist engagement with religion.
The “Kioskisation” team visited four Eastern European cities to look into the kiosk situation in the microrayon. The results are kiosk trail maps, kiosk collectors’ microrayon, a manual on how to start a kiosk, a documentary film (all in four languages) and a transportable kiosk cinema.
Measurements of KS0 and Λ production in tt¯ final states have been performed. They are based on a data sample with integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb - 1 from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Neutral strange particles are separated into three classes, depending on whether they are contained in a jet,
The result of a search for the pair production of the lightest supersymmetric partner of the bottom quark (b˜ 1) using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton data collected at s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector is reported. In the supersymmetric scenarios considered both of the bottom-squarks decay into a b-quark and the second-lightest neutralino, b˜1→b+χ˜20. Each χ˜20 is assumed to subsequently decay with 100%
