    Sammanfattning : Spending in social welfare areas such as healthcare, wider public health, education, and social care consumes a major part of the public budget. Cost-effective resource allocation is a moral obligation towards both taxpayers and beneficiaries: tax money should be used efficiently, and it should be transparently accounted for. LÄS MER

  3. 2. ”Kalla mig inte mamsell!” : En jämförelse av tre skandinaviska översättares behandling av kulturspecifika element i fransk- och engelskspråkig skönlitteratur

    Sammanfattning : The present study deals with the work and practice of three Scandinavian translators, namely Kjell Olaf Jensen (Norwegian), Marianne Öjerskog (Swedish) and Agnete Dorph Stjernfelt (Danish). The main question of the thesis is what strategies the translators use when translating culture-specific elements from French and English. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Simulation of rail traffic : applications with timetable construction and delay modelling

    Författare :Hans Sipilä; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Anders Holst; Jan Ekman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis covers both applications where simulation is used on parts of the Swedish rail networks and running time calculations for future high-speed trains with top speed improvements on existing lines. Calculations are part of a subproject within the Green Train research program (Gröna tåget). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nonlinear Quantile Regression for Longitudinal Data

    Författare :Andreas Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bootstrap; dependent errors; median regression; Monte Carlo simulation; panel data; repeated measures; Statistics; Statistik; Biostatistics; Biostatistik;

    Sammanfattning : The overall objective of the two papers in this thesis is to examine the properties of the weighted nonlinear quantile regression estimator for the analysis of longitudinal data. To this end, the question of which weights to be used, the bias of the estimator and the possibility to calculate confidence intervals has to be examined. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Optimal portfolios in the high-dimensional setting : Estimation and assessment of uncertainty

    Sammanfattning : Financial portfolios and diversification go hand in hand. Diversification is one of, if not, the best risk mitigation strategy there is. If an investment performs poorly, then it will not impact the performance of the portfolio much due to diversification. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is a framework for constructing diversified portfolios. LÄS MER
