The first part of this thesis presents an analysis on the factors contributing to groundings when ships transit in and out of ports. The study has been part of a three-year project on "Ship Transit Risk". By verifying the grounding location database generated during the first two years of the project against the United States Coast Guard's grounding accident data, an updated database was established in this research. Within the frame of this new database, two factors were analyzed-tide and time of day. The results suggest that tide forecast error (predicted tide water level minus observed tide water level) had no significant effect as a risk factor, and that night navigation was far more risky than day navigation. The second part of this thesis presents a complementary point of view for risk analysis human factors. Many papers indicate that human beings are the most significant factors contributing to groundings. Nevertheless, few or no historical data sets recorded the information required for human factors analysis. Hence this part focuses mostly on literature review, introduces briefly the concept of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, and some maritime regulations and final rules of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). OSHA contributes to much research in human factors, yet few maritime related papers pay attention to it. Thus, we suggest that for further research on human factors, the collaboration of OSHA and maritime related research organizations such as USCG is necessary. The cooperative research would greatly contribute to the success of a risk model for groundings that may be also applied to other accident analysis. In addition, the exploration of a risk model for groundings may have a positive effect on the ISM code and OSHA's final rules in the future.

Full textTiivistelmä Säännöllinen aktiivinen elämäntapa on yhteydessä pienempään fyysisten ja psyykkisten sairauksien riskiin. Tutkimuksissa on kuitenkin havaittu raskaampaan liikuntaan liittyvä väliaikaisesti lisääntynyt akuutin sydäntapahtuman, kuten äkkikuoleman, riski. Väitöskirjatutkimuksessa tutkitaan rasitukseen liittyvän sydänperäisen äkkikuoleman erityispiirteitä ja fyysisen aktiivisuuden merkitystä hyvinvoinnille. Ensimmäisessä osajulkaisussa havaittiin, että rasitukseen liittyvissä kuolemissa oli ruumiinavauslöydöksenä merkittävästi enemmän sepelvaltimotautia, sydänlihaksen arpeutumista ja sydänlihaksen liikakasvua verrattuna äkkikuolemiin levossa. Miessukupuoli oli selkeästi yliedustettuna rasituspopulaatiossa, sillä peräti 94 % oli miehiä. Yleisimmät rasitusmuodot olivat hiihto, pyöräily ja lumenluonti. Toisessa osatutkimuksessa tutkittiin edeltävien EKG-muutosten yhteyttä rasitusperäisiin äkkikuolemiin. Havaitsimme, että QRS-kompleksin pirstoutuminen etuseinäkytkennöissä oli selkeästi yleisempi löydös rasitusryhmässä. Tämä löydös oli erityisen merkittävä sepelvaltimotautipotilailla. Kolmas julkaisu sisältää tiedot sairaalan ulkopuolisista sydänpysähdyksistä Pohjois-Pohjanmaalla vuosina 2007–2012. Tässä aineistossa havaitsimme, että rasitukseen liittyvän sydänpysähdyksen alkurytmi oli useammin defibrilloitava, potilaat olivat nuorempia ja terveempiä, ja maallikkoelvytys aloitettiin useammin. Rasituksessa elottomaksi menneillä oli suhteellisen hyvä selviämisennuste. Neljännessä tutkimuksessa havaitsimme selkeästi paremman ennusteen niillä stabiilia sepelvaltimotautia sairastaneilla, jotka olivat liikunnallisesti aktiivisia. Sydänperäinen kuolleisuus oli pienempi myös niillä potilailla, jotka onnistuivat lisäämään liikunnallista aktiivisuuttaan. Samankaltainen tulos todettiin sydänperäisten äkkikuolemien osalta. Sepelvaltimotauti ja miessukupuoli ovat hyvin yleisiä löydöksiä, kun sydänperäinen äkkikuolema tapahtuu rasituksessa. Myös QRS-kompleksin pirstoutuminen etuseinäkytkennöissä liittyi rasitusperäisiin kuolemiin. Toisaalta potilaan ennuste selvitä on selkeästi parempi sydänpysähdyksen tapahtuessa rasituksessa. Osoitimme myös, että liikunnallinen aktiivisuus ja sen pienikin lisäys parantavat sepelvaltimotautipotilaiden ennustetta

Full textDet övergripande syftet med doktorandprojektet är att utveckla ett ramverk för att fatta optimala beslut på aktiederivatmarknaderna. Att fatta optimala beslut syftar till exempel på hur man optimalt ska hedga en optionsportfölj, eller hur man ska göra optimala investeringar på aktiederivatmarknaderna. Ramverket för att fatta optimala beslut kommer att baseras på stokastisk programmerings-modeller (SP-modeller), vilket betyder att det är nödvändigt att generera högkvalitativa scenarier för marknadspriser för en framtida tidpunkt som indata till SP-modellen. Detta leder till en situation där de traditionella metoderna, som finns beskrivna i litteraturen, för att modellera marknadspriser inte ger scenarier av tillräckligt hög kvalitet för att fungera som indata till SP-modellen. Följaktligen är huvudfokus för denna avhandling att utveckla metoder som, jämfört med de traditionella metoderna som finns beskrivna i litteraturen, förbättrar estimeringen av ytor som impliceras av en given mängd observerade optionspriser. Estimeringen kompliceras av att observerade optionspriser innehåller mycket brus och möjligen också arbitrage. Det betyder att för att kunna estimera optionsimplicerade ytor som är arbitragefria och av hög kvalitet, så behöver estimeringsmetoden hantera bruset i indata på ett adekvat sätt. De första två artiklarna i avhandlingen utvecklar ett icke-parametriskt optimeringsbaserat ramverk för estimering av högkvalitativa och arbitragefria options-implicerade ytor. Den första artikeln behandlar estimeringen av den risk-neutrala täthetsytan (RND-ytan) och den andra artikeln estimeringen av den lokala volatilitetsytan. Båda metoderna ger upphov till jämna och realistiska ytor för marknadsdata. Estimeringen av RND-ytan är ett konvext optimeringsproblem men resultatet är känsligt för valet av parametrar. När den lokala volatilitetsytan estimeras är parametervalet mycket enklare men optimeringsproblemet är icke-konvext, även om algoritmen inte verkar fastna i lokala optima. SP-modellerna som används för att fatta optimala beslut på aktiederivatmarknaderna behöver också indata i form av genererade scenarier för de underliggande aktiepriserna eller indexnivåerna. Den tredje artikeln i avhandlingen behandlar estimering och evaluering av existerande modeller för aktiemarknaden. Den tredje artikeln tillhandahåller preliminära resultat som visar att, av de jämförda modellerna, ger en GARCH(1,1)-modell med Poissonhopp en bättre beskrivning av dynamiken för det svenska aktieindexet OMXS30 jämfört med mer komplicerade modeller som innehåller stokastisk volatilitet.

Full textPhysical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for major non-communicable diseases, which contribute substantially to the global burden of chronic diseases, disability and death. The burden of disability, morbidity and mortality, attributable to non-communicable diseases, is currently enormous in the developed countries and is increasingly growing in the developing countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between participation in physical activity and health risk behaviours among high school students in the Mtwara region, Tanzania. The objectives of this study were to identify the physical activity levels among high school students in Mtwara region, Tanzania, to identify health risk behaviours among the above mentioned high school students, to identify the factors that influenced them to engage in health risk behaviours and to establish the relationship between physical activity and health risk behaviours.
