Within the last twenty years, the Swedish military has been drastically reduced in size and capability. The conscription service was discontinued which made retaining personnel difficult. The service was reinstated nine years later due to the geopolitical instability around Sweden and the national goal to double personnel by 2035. Consequently, the military must focus on retaining trained personne

In 2009, Bitcoin was introduced to the world. Today, ten years later, there are still gaps in the research of how to model the cryptocurrency. In this thesis, the capacities of different volatility models to capture the high volatility of Bitcoin returns are investigated. The models used are GARCH-type models: GARCH(1,1), IGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1). Jumps, or outliers, are also detected and fi

Female-limited colour polymorphisms provide interesting examples of intraspecific genetic diversity but, in most polymorphic taxa, we know little about the macroevolutionary origin and subsequent history of polymorphism during diversification. The damselfly genus Ischnura includes many species with multiple, heritable female colour morphs. The evolutionary origin of polymorphism in this clade is u

Idag befinner vi oss i en allvarlig situation av klimatförändringar där vi måste skapa en hållbar utveckling för att vi och framtida generationer ska överleva och tackla klimatförändringarna. Detta påverkar inte minst de mänskliga rättigheterna, då de redan mest utsatta människorna lider konsekvenserna av såväl klimatförändringar som de åtgärder vi tar för att mildra och förhindra dem. Således exi

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier har visat att Svenskt index för akutmedicinsk larmmottagning har svårt att prediktera vilka patienter som är akut sjuka respektive icke akut sjuka. Det kan innebära att ambulanssjukvården får köra ett onödigt stort antal uppdrag med hög prioritet vilket i sin tur leder till ökad belastning samt ökade risker, framförallt i trafiken. Vårdcentraler kan göra beställning av a

Early childhood education and care has been stated a key priority area for governmental investment of the education sector in Brazil since the early 2000s and was reaffirmed as the number one target of the 2014 national education plan.

Blodpropp i hjärnan, ofta benämnt som stroke, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna i världen och drabbar årligen 32 000 i Sverige. Utfallet av stroke kan variera från inga kvarstående symptom, till förlamning, bortfallen talförmåga, blindhet eller död. Behandlingen för stroke har utöver rehabilitering i många år varit begränsad till trombolys, en läkemedelsbehandling i akutskedet som syftar till atBackground and purpose: Stroke is one of the world’s most common diseases and the second leading cause of death worldwide. From 1996 to 2006 the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was limited to intravenous fibrinolytic therapy; a treatment often associated with risk and insufficiency. In 2006, treating AIS by mechanical clot removal, known as thrombectomy, was approved by the U.S. Food and

När en offentlig verksamhet avser att genomföra en upphandling av en entreprenad den tidigare drivit i egen regi eller haft ute hos annan leverantör kan den önska att de tidigare anställda ska övergå till den nya entreprenören. För att skydda anställningarna i sådana situationer har överlåtelseregleringen utarbetats. Den avser att ge ett arbetsrättsligt skydd för den fortsatta anställningen när enWhen the public sector intends to conduct a procurement of a contract, that previously have been run in-house or by another vendor they may wish that the former employees will be transfer to the new contractor. To protect employment in such situations the regulation of transfers has been developed. It aims to provide a legal working protection for the continued employment when a business is transf

Arbetsmarknadens parter är eniga om att missbruk skapar svår problematik på arbetsplatsen. Likväl menar parterna att arbetsplatsen är en social arena där den missbrukande arbetstagaren kan få hjälp. Missbruksproblematiken härstammar i att frågan är av både medicinisk- och social karaktär varför det svårt att veta hur den ska hanteras juridiskt. Arbetsdomstolen har ställts inför utmaningen att utThe social partners agree that abuse of alcohol and narcotics creates severe problems in the workplace. However, the parties state that the workplace is a social arena where the abusive employee can get help. The question about abuse of alcohol and narcotics is of both a medicinal- and a social character, why, in a legal perspective, it is difficult to handle. The Labour Court has been faced wit

Vi genomför en fallstudie av finanskrisen genom åren 2007 t.o.m. 2011 för USA, Storbritannien och Tyskland. Vi utgår ifrån den österrikiska konjunkturcykelteorin och undersöker om teorin rimligen kan förklara händelserna i våra tre utvalda länder. Vi genomför en deduktiv studie där vi extrapolerar fem hypoteser från den österrikiska konjunkturteorin för att se hur väl konjunkturförloppet motsvararWe perform a case study of the financial crisis through the years 2007 - 2011 for USA, Great Britain and Germany. The Austrian theory of the business cycle is our framework and we examine if the theory reasonably can explain the events in our three chosen countries. We perform a deductive study where we extrapolate five hypotheses from the Austrian theory of the business cycle to see how well the

Just nu utreds möjligheten för en person att få vittna anonymt i Sverige. Detta på grund av att fler ska våga vittna, framförallt i mål som rör organiserad brottslighet där hotbild från kriminella gäng kan förekomma.

Up until the late 1990s, the mining industry as a whole has been scrutinised for being unsuitable. In response to heavy criticism, nowadays several mining companies has adopted sustainable development principles, namely the ICMM sustainable development Framework. The adoption of this framework led to mining companies adapting their sustainability strategies and initiatives to best fit the framewor

In this thesis, an automatic emergency braking is developed using camera data. The vehicle used in the development is a Volvo XC90 equipped with a prototype version of a camera-based, automated parking system. The camera detection output is a 2D version of the static environment populated with obstacles represented by convex hulls. These are used to safely avoid real-world obstacles by braking if

I den här studien karakteriseras fenomenet anaerob korrosion utifrån både litteraturstudier om korrosionsprocesser och korrosionsprodukter samt genom undersökning av fältprover från betongkonstruktioner i salthaltiga undervattensmiljöer i södra Sverige. Anaerob korrosion av armering i vattenmättad betong är ett omfattande men hittills relativt ouppmärksammat problem. Detta fenomen kan leda till alIn this study, the phenomenon of black corrosion is characterized by both literature studies on corrosion processes and corrosion products, and by analyzing field samples from saline subaqueous concrete structures in southern Sweden. Anaerobic corrosion of reinforcement in water-saturated concrete is an extensive but yet relatively unnoticed problem. This phenomenon can lead to serious damages tha
