Empirical and theoretical research has for some time argued that investors also expect rewards for bearing risk related to higher moments. This thesis examines if inclusion of coskewness and cokurtosis helps to explain the variation in asset returns. These factors are added to models that also account for market risk , Fama-French factors and momentum. We use methodology of realized moments to est

The recent nationalization of museum institutions, combined with the becoming highly customer-centric society has forced museums to review their strategies. Initially products (artifacts)-oriented; they nowadays have to consider visitors and their experiences with the offered product and services as a major element within their equation as it represents their main source of revenue. According to P

Enligt 15 § anläggningslagen (AL) ska samtliga delägare i en gemensamhetsanläggning erhålla andelstal för både drift och utförande av anläggningen. Andelstal för utförande ska främst beräknas efter nyttan av anläggningen medan andelstal för drift ska grunda sig på användandet. För utförande saknas i stort sett vägledning om hur andelstal ska beräknas. Arbetet syftar till att genom undersökning av Participatory shares should be obtained by all co-owners of a joint facility. The basis of the calculation of the participatory shares is different for construction and operation. In this thesis a survey is done to determine to what extent this means that different participatory shares is calculated for construction and operation in joint facilities and if these joint facilities have something in

Svällningsstudier med gelatin Av: Victor Norgren, Lunds tekniska högskola, 2015-06-15 Introduktion Gelatin är en genomskinlig proteinbaserad biopolymer, som tillverkas av kollagen. Kollagen är bindningsvävnaden som fäster musklerna till benen i kroppen. Genom att t.ex. koka benknotorna kan man utvinna kollagenet som blir gelatin när det tillåts sätta sig igen. Gelatintrådarna behåller den spiralThis report is about the measurements of swelling gelatine films of different thickness and at different temperature. The research has been mainly focused on finding a suitable model. Results have shown that the new Pseudo-Sigmoidal Model (PSM) is superior to previous quasi-second order models such as the Robinson and Ofner model. It has also been shown that gelatine’s swelling can be divided into

Av världens befolkning är det 347 miljoner människor som har sjukdomen diabetes mellitus, där 90 % representerar diabetes mellitus typ 2. Vården vid diabetes mellitus typ 2 sköts nästan uteslutande av patienten själv, vilket ger patienten en stort egenansvar för sin hälsa. Kunskap är en central del i patientens egenansvar som kan fås genom patientundervisning. Syftet med studien var att beskriva s

The focus of this paper is the nominative/genitive case alternation phenomenon, often called ga/no conversion, which occurs in the Japanese language. In some kinds of subordinate clauses, the nominative case marker ga can be replaced with the genitive no to mark the subject of a sentence, without causing any particular difference in meaning. A survey concerning said phenomenon has been carried out

I förarbetet till fastighetsbildningslagen öppnade man upp för möjligheten att betrakta ett köp som en överenskommelse, enligt 5:18 FBL, och därmed blev det möjligt att överföra en hel fastighet till en mottagande fastigheten. Med detta alternativ till det traditionella köpet av fast egendom var det nu möjligt att undvika stämpelskatten. Efter några år utfördes en statlig utredning SOU 1983:8, ochThe aim of this thesis is to show how the number of reallotment change over time and it’s the impact on the valuation of agricultural land. The third issue is whether the reallotments was made to avoid stamp duty. Cadastral dossier has been search through from the year 1996- 2014 with a three-year interval between the measurements. There are three municipalities in southern Scania that has investi

This paper empirically examines the relationship between firm value and the usage of currency derivatives for 85 non-financial Swedish firms listed on Stockholm Stock Exchange. The sample includes firms operating in a wide range of industries and with different sizes. The time period for the data is from 2005 to 2010. There is no proof of an existing relationship between currency derivative usage

We have investigated the CO induced faceting of a Rh(553) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The sample was exposed to a CO pressure of 1x10^-3 mbar, at different sample temperatures. The experiment was performed in the STM lab at the division of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University. AccordinMy bachelor thesis deals with the change of Rhodium (Rh) stepped surface under pure carbon monoxide exposure, which will help the understanding of it as a catalyst of carbon monoxide oxidation. Catalysts are widely used in different areas and industries as catalysis can help accelerating chemical reactions without itself being consumed. Rh is a metal catalyst used in the oxidation of CO to CO2. T

Rättsläget kring implementeringen av IPRED-direktivet har varit osäkert och omtvistat. Förhållandet mellan upphovsrätt och integritet är invecklat och skyddet för de ekonomiska rättigheterna har varit i behov av förbättring samtidigt som att säkrandet av tryggheten för personlig information i ett växande informationssamhälle blivit allt större. Genom domen i ePhone-målet har det fastslagits att dThe legal position regarding the implementation of the IPRED directive has been uncertain and controversial. The relationship between copyright and privacy is complex and protection of the economic rights has been in need of improvement, while the same thing can be argue for safeguarding of the security of personal information in the growing information society. The ruling in the Ephone case has

This study examines magic idealism as well as the representation and function of music in the novel El penúltimo sueño by the Colombian author Ángela Becerra. The assumption is made that there is a connection between music and magic idealism in the novel. In the analysis several recurring trends of magical idealism and music are identified. Music is represented as a companion in times of joy and s

The terminal goal of the thesis is to come down to which types of mounts to develop for the active lifestyle user and thereafter, create a couple of 3D-printed mounts for these placements. Moreover, suggestions for optimizing the Clip itself and its user

#dagensoutfit #miljövänligt #? Marknadsföring av kläder tillverkade av bland annat återvunnen polyester får oss att tro att vi har köpt ett plagg utan ekologiska konsekvenser. Dessvärre är det inte hela sanningen. Genom energiförbrukning ger klädproduktionen av "miljövänliga material" för den svenska marknaden upphov till påverkan på både miljö och människa. Klädkonsumtionen i Sverige The consumption of clothes in Sweden has dramatically increased since the beginning of the 2000s. Changing of attitudes towards clothing in society and accessible fast fashion are a few contributing factors. To minimize the environmental effects of clothes many clothing companies aim to choose sustainable textiles like recycled polyester and organic cotton. In this comparative study energy use of

Due to a decision made by the Swedish parliament in 2010 all teachers would become required to have a teacher´s license to be qualified to; educate students, grade them and get a permanent employment. The politician’s wanted the license system to be fully incorporated in the Swedish school system by 1th of June 2012. A couple of years later the system has still not been fully enforced. The aim of

In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank stand

This thesis explores the connection between the heart rate variability and both stress and age. Two methods are used to classify the heart rate variability data, the autoregressive model and the Markov chain model. The autoregressive model is further expanded to become an autoregressive model with extraneous input using the respiratory signal as input signal. The Markov chain models are compared w
