Traditional methods for evaluating corporate credit risk rarely consider the impact of the macro economy on corporate value and performance. We argue that lenders and management can obtain valuable information about the need for and approach to restructuring by decomposing default predictions into intrinsic and macroeconomic factors. We apply a method previously used for measuring macroeconomic ex

Blekinge är ett landskap som trots sin litenhet hyser en variationsrik natur. Skärgården blandas av små, kala skär och större trädbevuxna öar. Kusttrakternas mosaik av lummiga lövskogar, samt öppna ängs- och åkermarker, övergår norrut i barrskogar och slingrande åar eller små sjöar. Floran presenterar alla Blekinges arter med beskrivning av deras utbredning, miljö, samt förändringar i frekvens. Et

While research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support has not emerged so far, and thus the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high abstraction levels makes the quality of the resulting im

Artikeln diskuterar utfrån ett förslag av Eide (2007) hur finithet kodas i verbmofologin i ett västerbottniskt dialketområde (Lycksele lappmark). Eides förslag gäller engelskan, och hon lyfter fram finithet som ett eget särdrag som kan kodas i verbmorfologin. Hon menar att engelskan har slutat koda finithet och att det därför finns sammanfall mellan infinitiv och presens respektive mellan preterit

Abstract in Undetermined Särskilt när en kurs läses av många studenter är en fungerande kommunikation mellan studenter och lärare väsentlig. PBL-metoden är i sig ett sätt att etablera en tvåvägskommunikation genom att låta studenterna komma till tals. Vi diskuterar några av de problem vi mött när en kurs har utvecklats från valfri med relativ få studenter till obligatorisk kurs för ett hundratal,

The NorduGrid middleware, ARC, has integrated support for querying and registering to Data Indexing services such as the Globus Replica Catalog and Globus Replica Location Server. This support allows one to use these indexing services for for example brokering during jobsubmission, automatic registration of files and many other things. This integrated support is complemented by a set of command-li

This paper explores the concept of organizations as complex human activity systems, through the perspectives of alternative systemic models. The impact of alternative models on perception of individual and organizational emergence is highlighted. Using information systems development as an example of management activity, individual and collective sense-making and learning processes are discussed.

Closely spaced local gate electrodes are used to electrically define a double quantum dot along an InAs nanowire crystal. By applying a periodic pulse sequence to two plunger gate electrodes controlling the double quantum dot charge configuration, the device is operated as a single electron pump. The authors find that within measurement accuracy, the pumping current equals one electron per cycle f

Vehicle-to-vehicle (VTV) communications are of interest for applications within traffic safety and congestion avoidance, but the development of suitable communications systems requires accurate models for the VTV propagation channel. This paper presents a new wideband MIMO (multipleinput- multiple-output) channel model for VTV channels based on extensive MIMO channel measurements performed at 5.2
