  1. 11. Does resting vasomotor tone impact +Gz tolerance?

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Samuel Courboin; [2022]
    Keywords : Gravitoinertial tolerance; Gravitoinertial force; Resting vasomotor tone; Mean arterial pressure; Postexercise hypotension;

    Abstract : The ability of an individual to withstand elevated head-to-toe gravitoinertial (+Gz) forces is determined by the capacity of their body to maintain sufficient head-level arterial pressure. Recent studies have shown a relationship between resting blood-vessel stiffness and an individual’s +Gz-tolerance, although the mechanisms behind this relationship are unclear. READ MORE

  3. 12. Parameter Update Schemes for Hidden Markov Models applied to Financial Returns

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Sigfrid Forsberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Markov Chain; Finance; Hidden Markov Model; Generalized Autoregressive Score Model; S P-500; Nikkei; Adaptive Model; Volatility; Regime-switching Model; Line-Search Algorithm; Predictor-Corrector; Quasi-Newton; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis was dedicated to investigating the use of different parameter update schemes for Hidden Markov models with time-varying parameters, with an emphasis on developing alternatives to the quasi-Newton step. The focus was on applications to financial returns, using data from the S\&P-500 and the Nikkei index, and for comparison, a trial using synthetic data was also performed. READ MORE

  5. 14. Online Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Theodoros Panagiotakopoulos; [2022]
    Keywords : Unsupervised Domain Adaptation; Continual Learning; Curriculum Learning; Clear2Rain; Self-Supervised Learning; Semantic Segmentation; Transfer Learning; Online Learning; Unsupervised Domain Adaptation; Kontinuerligt lärande; Curriculum Learning; Clear2Rain; Self-Supervised Learning; Semantisk Segmentering; Transfer Learning; Online Learning;

    Abstract : Deep Learning models have seen great application in demanding tasks such as machine translation and autonomous driving. However, building such models has proved challenging, both from a computational perspective and due to the requirement of a plethora of annotated data. READ MORE

  6. 15. Climate Disaster-Triggered Attention Shifts: Evidence from Green Mutual Fund Flows

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Jack Arkesteijn; Simon Wießner; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate disasters; Climate change; Mutual funds; Behavioral finance; LCD;

    Abstract : This thesis empirically investigates the degree to which climate disasters have a behavioral impact on mutual fund flows into green versus non-green funds. Through a twofold analysis that studies both Google search volume-proxied investor attention as well as green and control mutual fund flows, we show that local climate disasters have a positive impact on both investor attention and behavior towards green funds.
