1. 1. The Exploitation by the Blue Helmets : A Qualitative Cross-Case Comparison of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Central African Republic and the United Nations Mission in Burundi

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

   Author : Elsa Svärd; [2024]
   Keywords : United Nations; Peacekeeping; Sexual Violence; Transactional sex; Internal displacement; Unemployment;

   Abstract : UN peacekeeping operations have received a significant amount of backlash during the past decades when allegations of sexual misconduct conducted by its personnel against civilians have unravelled. The purpose of this study is to answer the research question: How does unemployment amongst internally displaced women, within the host state, affect the probability of United Nations peacekeepers perpetrating Transactional Sex against them? The suggested hypothesis yields that a high level of unemployed internally displaced women has a positive effect on peacekeeper-perpetrated transactional sex occurrence. READ MORE

3. 2. A temporal Hawkes process model for shooting occurrences in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Sara Kopelman; [2024]
   Keywords : Point processes; stochastic processes; statistics; conditional intensity; crime; shootings; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluating probability weighting among lottery bond investors: an observational study on Cumulative Prospect Theory

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Anton Eriksson Nyberg; Olof de Blanche; [2024]
   Keywords : Cumulative Prospect Theory; CPT; observational study; field study; lottery bonds;

This paper is one of the first to apply it to observational data. Risk attitudes in the bond market have not been studied in a CPT framework. We fill this research gap. READ MORE

6. 5. Quantum Optical Description of High-order Harmonic Generation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Isabel Moreno; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear process in which an atom interacts with a strong laser field. The laser field lowers the atomic potential barrier allowing bound electrons to escape into the continuum through tunnel ionization, propagate, and, with some probability, recombine with the parent ion.
