A distinguishing component of the mortgage bond market in Denmark is the option to prepay a loan before its maturity date. From the debtors perspective, this is often done with the purpose of refinancing to a lower lending rate. Thus, interest rate modelling becomes a natural part of the pricing process of Danish callable mortgage bonds. Today, yield curves are modelled and thought of differently

This study investigates the perceptions and experiences of school counselors working with adolescents amidst the increasing influence of social media and digital platforms. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with six different school counselors in two Swedish municipalities and then analyzed through a theoretical framework focusing on dy

Utsläppen av växthusgaser genom mänskliga aktiviteter, framförallt inom sektorer som energiproduktion, markanvändning, livsstil, och produktion, medför att jordens medeltemperatur fortsätter att öka till ohållbara grader. En viktig del i att återfå kontroll över situationen är att förändra hur vi producerar energi världen över, från fossila bränslen till hållbara och förnybara energikällor. Ett exEmissions of greenhouse gases through human activities, predominantly in sectors such as energy production, land use, lifestyle, and production, are continuing to warm the planet to unsustainable degrees. An important way to regain control of the situation is a worldwide adjustment in the way we produce energy, from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy sources. An example of such a ren

Sustainability reporting has become the primary measure of corporate sustainability in the EU, with increasing awareness among companies about the importance of disclosing sustainability matters. Concurrently, the European Union has enacted several pieces of legislation regarding sustainability reporting, notably the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. While blockchain technology initial

This thesis explores the structural power dynamics and agency within WWF's Leading the Change (LtC) program, focusing mainly on its implementation in Kenya. By analyzing how the institutional structure within the program influences decision-making and how the practical implementation either facilitates or impedes inclusion and the representation of stakeholders, the study employs the framework

Bakgrund: Under föräldraledigheten ändras vardagens aktiviteter där nya rutiner, vanor och upplevelser skapas. Varje aktivitet genererar ett aktivitetsvärde som har betydelse för upplevelsen av välbefinnande. Välbefinnande innefattar fysiska, psykiska och sociala aspekter. Att utforska upplevelsen av aktivitetsvärde samt upplevt välbefinnande under föräldraledigheten, kan öka kunskapen om behovet Background: During parental-leave, occupations change, new routines, habits and experiences are created. Each activity generates an occupational value that is significant for the experience of well-being. Well-being includes physical, mental and social aspects. Exploring the experience of occupational value and perceived well-being during parental-leave, can increase knowledge about the need for o

The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic correlations and volatility spillover effect between the financial stress index (FSI), exchange rates, and gold prices among Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS countries) over the period between February 2014 and February 2024. The FSI is established using the principal component analysis approach for each country to evalu

In times of climate change, climate-related disaster displacement is becoming a growing issue. While the vast majority of disaster displaced people move within their country or to a neighbouring country (within a region), there are also people who move between regions and to Europe (interregional). However, there is currently no global legally binding framework that regulates the protection of the

Independent inventors typically start to develop a solution to a problem they have personally experienced. They quickly move from realization of a problem to an iterative process of sketching, building and testing. During these activities, little interaction with customers and other stakeholders was found. The main reason for this at an early stage was that they did not want to risk patentability.

To maintain a high position accuracy in robots is essential in today’s industry. Because of different factors, as for example wear and tear, the robots may need to be recalibrated after a while to maintain their high precision. Today the calibration can be costly. The robot is often sent away to be calibrated and will therefore cause stoppages in production, and if the calibration is performed in-
