Following rapid economic growth and industrialization in China, environmental problems from waste batteries are rising as a consequence. There is an urgent environmental demand to establish a waste battery management system in China. With the purpose to contribute to the development of waste battery policy in China, this study presents the environmental problems from waste batteries in China and e

α-Synuclein (αSyn) is a neuronal protein predominantly found at the synapse, involved in vesicle trafficking. αSynaggregates are also the main component of Lewy bodies, the hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease. Interactions between the N- and Cterminiof αSyn play crucial roles in its behavior in solution, membrane binding, and aggregation.

Online sexual activities (OSA) are any sexual behaviours done using the Internet and are divided into non-arousal, partnered-arousal, and solitary-arousal activities. The means of accessing the Internet have extended past the traditional home computer and the rapid evolution of personal digital devices has lead to a lag in the measurement of OSA. There is also little understanding of the underlyin

Multi-dimensional harmonic retrieval (HR) in white noise is required in numerous applications such as channel estimation in wireless communications and imaging in multiple-input multiple-output radar. In this paper, we propose two R-dimensional (R -D) extensions of the subspace-based MUSIC model order selection scheme, for R≥2R≥2, to detect the number of multi-dimensional cisoids. The key idea in

Recent evidence suggests that the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene product BRCA1 is involved in at least two fundamental cellular processes: transcriptional regulation and DNA repair. However, the mechanism of action of BRCA1 in either of these processes is still unknown. Here, we report the characterization of a disease-predisposing allele of BRCA1, identified in a family with severa

Background: Rat models of peritoneal dialysis (PD) are useful for studying the physiology of peritoneal transport and evaluating new osmotic agents. Intraperitoneal (IP) solute concentrations and their evolution over time are easy to measure, but IP volume (IPV) is not. Direct volumetric measurements are the "gold standard;' but they are expensive and do not allow for repetitive measurements in th

This study examines the relationship between global news narratives and market volatility, focusing on the VIX index as a measure of investor sentiment. By analyzing financial news headlines from 2023, the research investigates whether keyword frequencies related to terms like conflict, recession, and bullish can predict changes in VIX. The study employs multiple regression, time series analysis,

The empirical prediction of outcomes in competitive sports, particularly basketball, remains a complex challenge due to inherent game variability and the difficulty in discerning replicable strategic adaptations from random fluctuations, especially in the case of unexpected results ("upsets"). This thesis addresses this by introducing and evaluating novel features designed to enhance the

I Sverige har vi idag en civilrättslig diskrimineringslag (2008:567) som täcker en rad samhällsområden och sju olika diskrimineringsgrunder. Denna lag är resultatet av att en samling lagar mot diskriminering som kom till runt millennieskiftet slogs samman och delvis förändrades. Lagen innehåller diskrimineringsförbud och aktiva åtgärder och dess syfte är att ”motverka diskriminering och på andra sSweden currently has a civil law against discrimination (2008:567) that covers several aspects of society and seven different grounds for discrimination. This law is the product of the consolidation – and to some extent modification – of a number of laws primarily passed between 1999 and 2006. The law contains prohibitions against discrimination and proscribes certain active measures to foster equ

This paper is about policy agenda and climate policies in Sweden. It examines why the alternative of a meat tax isn’t placing on the Swedish policy agenda. The study uses John W. Kingdon’s theory on agenda change presented in his book Agendas, Alternatives and Public Policies, to analyze why a meat tax isn’t seriously considered as a climate policy to reduce GHG-emissions from meat consumption. Th

Modern ship design and construction is striving to make sea transportation more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly. One of the possible solutions is to make the ships lighter by reducing the weight of the superstructure, constructing it completely or partially with lightweight materials such as Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), like glass fiber composites or carbon fiber composites. H

This thesis deals with the topic of climate mainstreaming in development cooperation. In particular, the current transformation of German Financial Cooperation is discussed, in light of the fact that the KfW Development Bank is introducing a Climate Mainstreaming Tool in spring 2020 to enable climate mainstreaming across all projects. The challenges of implementing climate mainstreaming and subseq
