Following the adoption of the "double carbon" policy in China, the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has gained considerable attention within the Chinese market, significantly impacting investor decision-making. This thesis examines the impacts of ESG principles on the overall financial performance of investment portfolios. Through the classification of Chinese A-lis
Proteins are tiny chemical machines that play many critical roles in our body. Some proteins send important messages, some carry crucial supplies, some fight with invaders and protect body from diseases, some clear trash etc. Proteins are strings of hundreds and thousands of small units called amino acids. If the string is built from less than hundred amino acids, it is called a peptide. DNA, a loThe pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease is widely believed to be due to production and deposition of the amyloid β-peptide. Several variants of the Aβ peptide are known to exist in in vivo. Variations include mutations or additional functional groups attached to residue side chains and may affect the aggregation process. Early on-set Alzheimer’s is caused by a variety of single amino acid substitu

During the summer of 2012, over 1,000 quantitative Social Return on Investment surveys were collected for the city to assess the park’s ‘value’ to visitors compared to the municip
We are daily moving in different landscapes for various reasons; sometimes we are looking for specific activities and sometimes just to move from one place to another. Common for this is the affect the landscape can have on us and how it gives us different experiences. In this essay I seek answers to what is important for people when they visit the nature for recreational purposes. What factors do
Diffusion MRI is an imaging technique capable of inferring information about the tissue microstructure, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Diffusion MRI data can be analysed using tractography, a tool able to represent the structure of the white matter (WM) in the brain. Tractography is commonly used qualitatively, but in this report, an algorithm for quantitative tractography was develope
BACKGROUND: Although intensive blood pressure (BP) control has not been shown to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), intensive BP control has been shown to reduce the risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in the CKD population. The aim of this post-hoc study was to study the interplay between a self-monitoring BP system and glomerular function.METHODS: In all, 949 participants

Konstruktiv länkning, studentaktivitet och föreläsningar är tre grundstenar i högre utbildning. Men föreläsningen som undervisningsform har kritiserats: ”Det finns gott om högskolepedagogisk litteratur som förklarar varför föreläsningen är olämplig för att stimulera lärande. Ändå fortsätter vi föreläsa”, skriver Andreas Håkansson (2017, s. 40) i en artikel som trots allt landar i att denna undervi
Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI or DTI) is an imaging technique that is sensitive to the diffusion movement of water contained in tissue. It is used to quantify parameters such as the diffusivity and its directionality. Because diffusion is intimately connected to the tissue microarchitecture DTI is one of the few techniques that can quantify tissue microstructure non-invasivel

In 2008 occurred the beginning of what was to become the most comprehensive, global, financial crisis in modern time. The recent crisis has been substantial for most developed countries, where almost all Eurozone members have showed negative economic results. Our goal is to determine, with as much accuracy as possible, if austerity contributes to the Eurozone-countries’ recovery process from the E
