  1. 1. Credit risk and forward price models

    Författare :Raquel M Gaspar; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three distinct parts. Part I introduces the basic concepts and the notion of general quadratic term structures (GQTS) essential in some of the following chapters. Part II focuses on credit risk models and Part III studies forward price term structure models using both the classical and the geometrical approach. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism

    Författare :Margrét Leosdottir; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Age; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; echocardiography; gender; glucose; left ventricular function; Nt-proBNP; self-rated health;

    Sammanfattning : The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Dietary intakes of Swedish children and adolescents

    Författare :Emma Patterson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :24-hr recall; nutritional epidemiology; dietary patterns; cardiovascular disease; food-based dietary guidelines; risk factor clustering; tracking;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Knowing what children and adolescents eat, how stable their diets are, and how diet relates to other chronic disease risk factors are important issues for public health nutrition. Setting and design: In 1998-9, 1120 children (grade 3) and adolescents (grade 9) took part in the European Youth Heart Study in Sweden. LÄS MER
