Light dark matter is a hypothesized form of dark matter in the 1 MeV to 1 GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of light dark matter, by colliding an electron beam with a tungsten target and assembling a set of events that potentially indicate the existence of light dark matter. The three main detector components of the LDMX are a s

Research has shown that the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial teams, in terms of educational background, has a positive impact on venture performance as a result of the access to diverse skill sets and perspectives. However, the heterogeneity of the team can also lead to communication inefficiencies due to the diverse viewpoints and cognitive differences. Forewarning methods, understood as the prep

It is very important for an investor to choose an accurate and effective risk measure when optimizing a portfolio of different assets. Recently, in addition to the standard risk measures such as variance or Value-at-Risk (VaR), more developed risk measures have emerged and one of them is the entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR). This paper is testing the hypothesis stated by Ahmadi-Javid and Fallah-Tafti

Intressenthantering är ett område som i många byggprojekt är essentiella för att projektet ska bli lyckat, ändå är det ett område som emellanåt negligeras av både projektledning och entreprenör. Att ha missnöjda intressenter som är negativt inställda till projektet kan leda till ökade klagomål och eventuella störningar i byggandet vilket kan drabba både budget och tidplan. Denna fallstudie har st

Many citizens in Ranchi, Jharkhand, suffer from the consequences of contaminated drinking water. The city’s water governance system therefore urgently needs to find ways to bring safe drinking water to its people. Prevalent models in water governance however do not provide effective guidance for the necessary transition process. They lack heuristics that facilitate an in-depth understanding of con

Denna uppsats är en undersökning av hur pactum turpe, det vill säga att avtal mot lag eller god sed, har utvecklats och förändrats under 1900- och 2000-talet. Både innebörden av begreppet pactum turpe och dess tillämpning kommer att undersökas genom att analysera och jämföra rättsfall från 1920-talet till tidigt 2000-tal. Rättsfallen delas upp i fyra kategorier efter ämne: Hedersskulder, Den persoThis thesis is an investigation of how pactum turpe, namely contracts that go against legislation or good practices, has developed and changed over the course of the 20th and and 21st centuries. Both the meaning of the term pactum turpe and its legal application will be examined by analyzing and comparing cases starting in the 1920s and ending at the beginning of the 21st century. The cases are di

I detta rättsvetenskapliga arbetet har laglotten samt dess bestämmelser behandlats. Syftet har varit att utreda rättsläget kring laglotten, dess funktion och huruvida den är föråldrad idag. Den rättsdogmatiska metoden har använts i denna uppsats tillsammans med rättshistoriska inslag. Under 1800-talet växte laglotten fram i avsikt att garantera bröstarvingar hälften av kvarlåtenskapen, vilket ledThis essay focusses on the statutory share of inheritance. The purpose has been to investigate the legal matter of the statutory share of inheritance, its function and if it is outdated today or not. A legal dogmatic method with a legislative development perspective has been used throughout this essay. The statutory share of inheritance was initially established in the 1800s with the intention of

Denna uppsats behandlar konsumentköplagens reglering av hästköp. Konsumentköplagen tillämpas vid tvister rörande köp av lösa saker, däribland levande djur, där säljaren är näringsidkare och köparen är konsument. Genom användandet av en rättsdogmatisk metod undersöker uppsatsen, utifrån ett kritiskt perspektiv, huruvida konsumentköplagens felregler är förenliga med hästaffärers särdrag. Dagens utfThis thesis addresses the regulation of horse sales in the Consumer Sales Act. The Consumer Sales Act applies in disputes regarding movable property, including living animals, when a business sells to a consumer.

We investigated CDS-bond basis trading strategies during five different events, which possibly have caused market uncertainty on the European market. Those events include the peak of the Greek debt crisis (2015), Brexit announcement (2016), French presidential elections (2017), Tariffs on European Union (2018) and COVID-19 crisis (2020). Further, using the companies from two different iTraxx indic

Using data from OMXS30, we study which of the models block maxima and peaks-over-threshold, based on extreme value theory, are the most accurate when estimating the risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. To perform this analysis, the risk measures are backtested. The extreme observations are fitted to the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution u

Hallen på taket är en undersökning av en del av ett kvarter i centrala Landskrona. Platsens såväl som stadens förutsättningar diskuteras utifrån ett arkitektoniskt och socialt perspektiv. Ramen är idrottens tillgänglighet och den centrala stadens identitet. Arbetet utmynnar i en sportanläggning som fyller ut mellanrummet mellan två byggnader samtidigt som den etablerar en urban genväg genom kvar

In this thesis, we conduct an empirical analysis to investigate how incorporating environmental criteria in equity investment affects the portfolios' risk and return. The sustainability performance is

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on aggregate foreign trade. We use annual data from 15 Asian countries over 30 years. The exchange rate volatility is derived primarily based on GARCH models and MASD.

Denmark and Sweden, as the rest of Europe, face a dilemma of whether to repatriate their citizens who travelled to the so-called Islamic State, from the wretched refugee camps in Syria and Iraq after its fall, and how to deal with those already returned. This thesis examines the two countries’ policy-approaches and discourses to the issue of foreign fighters (FF’s) through a comparative case study

Inom det folkrättsliga regelverket för mänskliga rättigheter är förbudet mot tortyr absolut och okontroversiellt. Trots de betydande insatser som gjorts för att bekämpa tortyr, kvarstår det dock som ett allvarligt och utbrett problem, delvis på grund av att faktisk straffrihet förblir vanligt. Universell jurisdiktion har därför identifierats som ett verktyg för att försöka säkerställa straffrättslWithin international human rights law, the prohibition of torture is absolute and uncontroversial. However, despite considerable efforts to end it, torture remains a pervasive problem all over the world, in part due to the widespread impunity for such acts. Many have hence identified universal jurisdiction as one of the ways whereby accountability for torture may be enhanced. The present thesis ex

Over the past few decades, Japan and South Korea have experienced unprecedented levels of population ageing brought about by the countries’ persistent sub-replacement fertility rates. This fertility decline has to be addressed in order to ensure future social stability and economic growth. The primary purpose of this thesis is to determine the primary drivers behind these low fertility rates. The

This thesis explores the legal position of permanent residents as compared to that of citizens in the case study of Georgia. With this aim, the thesis first examines the general legal system of the case study and delves into its sphere-specific regulations, which restrict access to different areas of life to permanent residents. The thesis then applies the standards extrapolated from the internati
