Statistical Modelling and Risk Analysis of Bitcoins Exchange Rate
2018
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2018 Bitcoin is a phenomenon that is new and there is little information on how and why it behaves as volatile as it does. This thesis uses existing data on Bitcoin’s exchange rate to estimate a model that describes the pattern and use it in a financial risk analysis. We also aim to contribute as a foundation for further studies in this field. The statistical properties of the log-return of the exchange rate are analysed and it is deemed to be iid. From the eleven distributional candidates we study is the fitted skew generalised t distribution proven to represent the data best after evaluation by criteria and statistics. Th…
Pārejas metālu halkogenīdu 1D un 2D nanostruktūru sintēze un raksturošana
2016
Darbā tiek aplūkotas divdimensiju (2D) pārejas metālu halkogenīdu - volframa un molibdēna disulfīdu - īpašības un iegūšanas metodes. Ir demonstrēta šo 2D mikrokristālu sintēzes metode no gāzveida reaģentiem, kā arī izstrādātas jaunas metodes viendimensiju (1D) metālu oksīdu nanovadu core-shell heterostruktūru izgatavošanai, veidojot plānus disulfīdu pārklājumus uz ZnO nanovadiem, izmantojot ar reaktīvo magnetrona izputināšanu iegūtu pārklājuma sulfurēšanu vai attiecīgo pārejas metālu amonija sāļu pārklājuma termolīzi gāzveida sēra klātbūtnē. Iegūtās nanostruktūras tika izgatavotas un raksturotas, izmantojot LU CFI pieejamās zinātniskās iekārtas. Darbs sastāv no literatūras apskata un eksper…

2017
Masteroppgave velferdsstudier ME509 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å få en forståelse for de som kommer til Norge, samtidig å tilby norske lesere å se hvordan «de andre» ser dem som vert og hvordan det er å velge å være gjest på et sted som de har valgt å kalle «et hjem».

‘Health in All Policies’ and the Urge for Coordination: The Work of Public Health Coordinators and Their Impact and Influence in Local Public Health …
2022
Building heavily on the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, Norway implemented the Public Health Act in 2012 to reduce social inequalities in health. Local public health coordinators (PHCs) at municipal levels were seen as tools to provide local intersectoral public health work. In this study, we examine factors related to intersectoral agency and if intersectoral work is understood as relevant to securing social justice in local policy outcomes. A national web-based survey in 2019 of all Norwegian PHCs (n = 428) was conducted with a response rate of 60%. Data were analysed through multiple linear regression, hierarchical regression modelling and structural equation modelling. Neither f…
