Abstract:
Web attacks pose a prime concern for cybersecurity, and whilst attackers are leveraging modern technologies to launch unpredictable attacks with serious consequences, web attack detectors are still restricted to the classical misuse and anomaly detection methods. As a result, web attack detectors have limited resilience to novel attacks or produce impractical amounts of daily false alerts. Advances in intrusion detection techniques have so far only partly alleviated the problem as they are still tied to existing methods. This thesis proposes Distress Detection (DD), a detection method providin

Abstract:
Given the economic importance of distressed firms, this thesis was motivated by an apparent lack of financial economic research examining distressed firms and their securities. The thesis principally focuses on the following two areas: (1) the costs of Chapter 11, and (2) the financial performance of low-grade bonds (i.e., "risky debt"). In addition, the laws and regulations affecting distressed firms are reviewed. Therefore, the main contributions of this thesis are empirical in nature. Regarding the costs of Chapter 11, the evidence presented suggests that they are large. Specifically, the c

There is a consistent research base that shows that class and inequality is associated with poorer mental health and experiences of distress.

Abstract:
Dementia is a common comorbidity in older people admitted to general hospital. People with dementia have a high prevalence of psychological symptoms, pain and delirium, which if left untreated can cause distress and predispose the person to worse outcomes. Identifying individual symptoms or the causes of distress can be difficult because people with more severe dementia often struggle to communicate. Systems are in place to help healthcare professionals recognise and treat individual symptoms, but they require the user to be able to apply and use them appropriately. This thesis describes the d
