This paper investigates sin stock characteristics through relative return performance compared to the global market index MSCI World, defining stock defensiveness towards market movements (i.e. recession resistance) and abnormal amounts of excess returns. This was achieved by constructing a sin stock portfolio; SINDEX, containing stocks from the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapons and defence, fos

We employ Non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to describe the real-time dynamics of an adsorbate-surface model system exposed to ultrafast laser pulses. For a finite number of electronic orbitals, the system is solved exactly and within different levels of approximation. Specifically i) the full exact quantum mechanical solution for electron and nuclear degrees of freedom is used to benchmark

Easy Languages is a channel on YouTube that focuses on language learning through street interviews. The channel is the result of dynamic participatory culture on the Web 2.0 and it has a main producer and several co-producers who constantly upload language-learning videos on the channel. Participatory culture is the main theme of this thesis. This thesis investigates the motivations behind the par

Många sjukdomar idag beror på en felaktig kost, tex övervikt, diabetes, Alzheimers sjukdom, bara för att nämna några. Vi intresserar oss för hur aptitreglering går till och vilka hunger och mättnadssignaler som bildas beroende av vad vi äter. Huvudfrågeställningen är om vi kan äta på ett sådant sätt att hunger och mättnad regleras på ett optimalt sätt. Vår arbetshypotes är att kroppen själv producMy research group's interest is focused on the consequences of diets rich in energy for the brain and the energy metabolism. Obesity is steadily increasing in the Western world. One reason for this is an increased possibility to choose tasty food, such as high-fat and sucrose-rich food. Obesity hence develops due to the inability to burn excess calories from this energy-dense food. We have identi

From a universal design perspective, products should attract both people with disabilities and other persons. Design of chairs has decisive importance for activity and independence of users with physical disabilities. In an experimental study aiming at an easy chair with universal design qualities, six able-bodied young adults were asked to position a wide range of photo-represented chairs, includ

För kroppens vävnader är omvandling av syrgas och näringsämnen till energi av stor vikt, och detta särskilt vid sjukdomsprocesser. Vi vill klargöra mitokondriens roll för organpåverkan, framför allt vid sjukdomar som drabbar det centrala nervsystemet men även vid organsvikt till följd av sepsis samt läkemedelsbiverkan. Forskningen är inriktad mot utveckling av nya strategier för diagnostik, behand

Introduction: Rockwell Automation needs to understand how a lean company wants to visualize different KPIs. Ambu wants to see the value of using such visualization in their company and the effect it might have.Thus the two parts fulfill each other's needs and are the perfect match. Purpose: The purpose of the master thesis is to identify essential KPIs in a medical production process and desi

Background Sometimes, patients with a history of metal intolerance react negatively or doubtfully to nickel at patch testing. Objective The aim of the study was to investigate whether aqueous nickel sulfate hexahydrate at 15% and 30% traces more contact allergy than the nickel preparation in the baseline series at 5%. Methods In the period 1995-2015, more than 800 of 16,059 patients with a negativ

Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.

Sustainable energy storage and conversion utforskar innovativa metoder för att effektivt lagra och omvandla energi från olika förnybara källor. Fokus ligger på teknik som avancerade batterier, vätgasproduktion, bränsleceller och termokemiska system samt säkerhetsaspekter på batterilagringssystem. Forskningen syftar till att öka energitätheten, minska kostnaderna och förbättra skalbarheten, vilket

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Renal function decreases with age. Dosage adjustment according to renal function is indicated for many drugs, in order to avoid adverse reactions of medications and/or aggravation of renal impairment. There are several ways to assess renal function in the elderly, but no way is ideal. The aim of the study was to explore renal function in elderly subjects in nursing homes and
