   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

   Author : Noa Almfors; Klara Stenman; [2023-07-10]
   Keywords : Sub-Saharan Africa; Financial Inclusion; Information and Communication Technology; Internet; Mobile Money;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the influence of two types of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), internet and mobile phones, on Financial Inclusion (FI) and Mobile Money Mobile Money (MM) adoption in 24 Sub-Saharan African countries in the last decade. A unique feature of this research is the incorporation of an index measuring financial inclusion, developed specifically for this study. READ MORE

3. 2. Neural correlates of pragmatic processing in adolescents

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

   Author : Christoffer Forbes Schieche; [2023]
   Keywords : Adolescence; cognitive control functions; fMRI; pragmatics; theory of mind; fMRI; kognitiv kontroll; mentalisering; pragmatik; tonåringar;

   Abstract : Understanding indirect speech, i.e., when an utterance does not match the intended meaning, is one of many pragmatic abilities at play in conversation. While the development of pragmatic abilities starts early, they continually develop throughout adolescence although this period is understudied. READ MORE

4. 3. Influence of Varying Electric Light Distribution on Melanopic Equivalent Daylight Illuminance and Lighting Energy Use

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Rebecka Ståhl; Parvathy Biju; [2023]
   Keywords : Alertness; Circadian Entrainment; Clear Sky; Correlated Colour Temperature; Daylighting; Direct Electric Lighting; Direct-Indirect Electric Lighting; Energy-Efficiency; Grasshopper; Integrative Lighting; LARK 2.0; Melanopic Equivalent Daylight Illuminance; Overcast Sky; Photopic Illuminance; Spectral Power Distribution.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Human beings in modern society spend more than 90% of their time indoors to live, work, and socialize. To improve health, quality of life and task performance, integrative lighting is designed to give the right light at the right time at the eye to stimulate circadian entrainment. READ MORE

5. 4. Bootstrapping methods for assessing causality in survival analysis: A case study on major adverse cardiovascular events

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Paulina Benthem Ciano; [2023]
   Keywords : Causality; Graphical models; Bootstrap; Survival analysis; Additive hazards model.; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The combination of graphical models with Aalen's additive hazards model, resulting in a model known as dynamical path analysis, permits assessing the effects of different variables on times until an event and decomposing these total effects into direct and indirect effects. This thesis proposes novel bootstrapping methods designed for left-truncated right-censored data, conditional on covariates within the framework of Aalen's additive hazards model, in order to obtain confidence intervals for the estimates.

6. 5. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
   Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE
