With the implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book in January of 2022, financial institutions will be obligated to implement Expected Shortfall as a means of determining market risk capital. With the transition from Value at Risk to Expected Shortfall, the question of how to accurately forecast Expected Shortfall arises. This paper investigates the forecasting ability of non-par
Purpose: We aim to develop a deeper understanding of non-managerial organisations by exploring the implications of this way of organising on the identification processes and professional identity of consultants. Theoretical Background: In our theoretical background, we highlight previous literature on different aspects of identity and identification as well as the interrelation of these topics w

Background. In the past years, there has been a major shift towards the consumption of healthier, more sustainable, and more convenient food products. These trends have triggered a response from the food industry, instigating the reformulation of several products. The challenge is removing or replacing certain ingredients, without sacrificing certain elements such as taste, texture, or shelf-life.
This study maps the intersection of homelessness and migration in Europe by focusing on Italy and Sweden; in the study, ‘Europe’ is defined by the Schengen Common Area Agreement, by the Common European Asylum System and by the Dublin Regulation. Using Kimberlé Crenshaw’s Intersectionality as one of its main theoretical reference points, the study argues that different dimensions of power relations
Building functional and effective railway station infrastructures has become a strategy to encourage sustainable mobility. Addressing on commuters, this thesis aims to investigate how station infrastructures frame commuters' commuting experience. Departing from the theory of rites of passage by Victor Turner, this thesis draws on autoethnography, interviews with six Øresund commuters and obser
Gender diversity has gained a lot of attention in the corporate governance literature, reaching conflicting results whether board gender diversity has an impact on financial performance. As a consequence, we set out to investigate how board gender diversity affects financial performance through innovation using a mediation technique. We constructed three hypotheses grounded in the resource depende
NIB - Visualisering av biologins många ansikten. Livsvetenskaperna är ett samlingsnamn för forskningsgrenar som studerar biologiskt liv och dess förutsättningar. Området har vuxit snabbt de senaste åren och stora landvinningar har gjorts med ny teknisk utveckling. Teknikerna är dock behäftade med viss osäkerhet, då det kan vara svårt att skilja biologiska fynd från tekniska störelement. Jag har dLife-sciences have developed at a rapid pace during recent years. From experiments investigating single molecules such as proteins or single genes to large scale projects mapping entire organisms in one single experiment. However, data generated from this kind of large scale projects need to be interpreted and integrated with the base of prior knowledge in an efficient, reliable and correct way. T
This paper is about our relation to the physical book in our homes, the use and how we choose to store it, and the use of it in libraries with focus both on the visitors and the libraries itself. For a closer loook about the physical books status, the theoretic aspects is used for at look at the physical books as a product for our way to preciate the book, booth by economy and personal relations.
The thesis investigates how a norm-critical perspective on learning can impact the architectural design, and the aim is not to challenge the school as a form but to mediate a more supportive learning environment. The norm-critical, feminist and public pedagogy highlights the necessity of change towards collective learning with the individual in mind that includes introvert and extrovert personalit
Melaniner är en grupp pigment som förekommer hos en rad olika organismer tillhörande växter, djur och bakterier. Människor har melanin i huden, vilket skyddar mot solens farliga UV-strålning, men även i ögonen, hjärnan, inneröronen, håret, och i vissa organ. Melaniner kan delas upp i eumelanin, som har en brun till svart färg, och feomelanin, med en gul till röd färg. Det är bland annat andelen avMelanin is a group of pigments present in almost all kingdoms of life. It has many interesting properties such as high fossilizing potential and the ability to chelate metals. The binding of metal ions is believed to have two major functions within biological systems: metal reservoir and metal scavenger. However, eumelanin’s chemical structure is still unknown and there is a knowledge gap regardin
Vad händer bakom stängda luckor? Människan har sedan urminnestider försökt förstå hur naturen fungerar. Länge har vi anat varför en fiskart, eller flera fiskarter, återfinns i en specifik miljö. Nog måste ni hört ”gäddan lurar i vassen”? Miljöfaktorerna fungerar då som ett filter, där enbart de arter som är anpassade och konkurrenskraftiga för den specifika platsen tar sig genom filtret och överlIn the last couple of decades, it has become apparent in ecology that community structure can be governed by both local (e.g. abiotic and biotic filtering) and regional processes (e.g. dispersal) – known as Metacommunity theory. However, management and restoration projects have lagged, still mostly focusing on the local environment for the benefit of certain species or communities – leading to fai
Små parker med vatteninslag och blandad struktur är bäst för Malmöbor Den rådande stadsplaneringstrenden är att förtäta städer. Detta har många fördelar, men städer med mycket hårdgjord yta är också känsligare för klimatförändringar. Genom att planera för gröna ytor på platser som inte är lämpade att bygga hus på kan man hjälpa till att klimatsäkra staden. Målet med detta arbete var att identifieThis study aimed to examine how pocket parks should be designed in order to promote visits from the inhabitants in Malmö, as well as which of six design is the best from an ecological perspective. By examining these two aspects the goal was to identify how a pocket park can be designed to work as a multifunctional place in the city. Firstly, a literature study was carried out in order to identify
Green Roofs (GRs) have been used worldwide as a solution for greening cities, while providing useful services to society such as storm water management, improved air quality, energy savings, and increased biodiversity, to name a few. However, the environmental impact of their structure has been understudied, and more importantly, the carbon cost related to the use of materials that have a high car
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om företag inom besöksnäringen använder sig av mitigation policyer och CSR vid utveckling av sina hållbarhetsstrategier. Undersökningen behandlar vilken betydelse samverkan har på en lokal nivå vid implementering av företags inom besöksnäringens hållbarhetsstrategier, som CSR och mitigation policyer, och hur detta kan bidra till företags hållbarhetsarbete. För
According to the UNESCO, the COVID-19 outbreak has forced millions of students to take virtual classes. For that reason, more than 80% of Higher Education institutions expect a big disruption in the sector in the next five years and 60% of them in the next 24 months (Holon IQ,2020). In Colombia, the big disruption is much needed. Currently, Physical Higher Education holds the lead regarding the pe
Cultural differences in emotion recognition have been found numerous times in the literature, especially when emotions are presented in social context (Masuda, 2017). However, we need to find a socioecological difference that explains such differences as current theoretical viewpoints fail to explain why these differences only arise later in life. This study aims to see if friendship habits, how w
Många läroböcker i Moderna språk innehåller stora delar historia, vilket tycks svara mot en idé om att eleverna ska lära sig om t.ex. Frankrikes historia när de studerar franska, trots att ingenting sägs om detta i Skolverkets läroplan. Denna uppsats undersöker utifrån ett bildningsperspektiv klyftan mellan styrdokument och den verklighet som läroböckerna utgör. Syftet är att, genom en jämförande
