We observe that, while predicting returns remain difficult and uncertain, volatility exhibit more persistence and predictability due to well-known patterns such as volatility clustering (Mandelbrot, 1967). We test whether short-horizon volatility forecasts can be used to time leverage in a passive index strategy so as to mitigate the growth penalty from volatility drag in leveraged exchange-traded

rapidly and on a large scale, judging from the very short introduction phase for late Slavic pottery and the absence of hybrid forms between this tradition and the local Scandinavian ware. Late Slavic ware became a Scanian cultural trait after only one generation; this tradition is today called “Baltic ware”, as it was produced outside the Slavic area by an increasing number of local potters. AfteThe existence of slavery in Viking-Age and high medieval Scandinavia is accepted as a fact. Law codes, literary sources and some few burials vouch for that. It is, however, more complicated to ascertain regional differences in the use of slaves, their ethnic identities and geographical distribution, as well as changes in the intensity of their exploitation over time. A new source, household potter

While originally, protein-energy deficiency was considered the main factor of malnutrition, it is now understood that micronutrient deficiencies play a fundamental role in a variety of health and disease outcomes. Zinc and iron deficiencies are still highly prevalent in low-income countries, whereas insufficient intakes and diets with low mineral absorption are the major causes. Sustainable and fe

Maintenance activities and strategies have been studied extensively, but few studies discuss maintenance costs. This paper presents a model for calculating performance-driven manufacturing costs (in currency/piece), including parameters for determining the maintenance costs in relation to the
A key message from this chapter - and the book as such - is that the Nordic Barnahus model is a step in the right direction in terms of meeting victimised children's needs and legal rights, and that it could be recommended as a promising practice for other countries.

Many exegetes set out to analyse not only rhetorical features in Galatians but also other features relating to Paul’s argumentation. Still, the use of insights from modern argumentation theory has been modest and no full-fledged argumentation analyses of Paul’s argumentation have yet been attempted. However, modern methods for argumentation analysis provide useful tools for such an undertaking.

The article analyzes power structures and relations in the Soviet Union in the mid-1960s, i.e., in the first years of Leonid Brezhnev's rule. It shows how Brezhnev limited the control mechanisms of power introduced by Nikita Khrushchev in order to consolidate his own position. The analysis contributes to a better understanding of the failure of Khrushchev's "reform communism" and the construction

Whether cognitive impairment at hospital discharge is associated with recovery defined as functional status and fatigue measured at 1-month post-discharge is not known.Methods: Consecutive CA patients admitted at an academic center (May 14, 2021–June 23, 2023) were assessed for cog
This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. We find some support for income inequality affecting the ecological footprint in the United States and that the relationship has changed over time. We find no such result This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021.
