As passive investing has grown in popularity, the number of available passive investment strategies have risen as well. This paper strives to investigate one of these investment strategies, namely fundamental indexation. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate if fundamental indices are more mean-variance efficient compared to capitalization-weighted indices. Given that the supe

This paper examines the impact of the Paris agreement on firms on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the firms were also categorized into sustainable and unsustainable firms by their Environmental Pillar Score (which is part of the ESG score) in order to investigate performance differences between the two groups. On top of that, a comparison between sustainable firms with the market index OMX

Cities are experiencing substantial population growth, they generate about 80 percent of global GDP and they are in power of local legislation. This makes them crucial actors in facing sustainability challenges. A framework that allows for a holistic approach to sustainability is the triple bottom line, which advocates for joint consideration of social,economic, and environmental development. In p

This study focuses on the human factors associated with elevator use during evacuation in residential buildings. An online survey is conducted to explore seven factors that may influence people’s choice of elevators in China and the United Kingdom, including floor height, waiting time for elevators, crowd density in front of elevators, mobility limitations, instructions, fire location concerning p

During operation of a nuclear power plant the neutron radiation of the reactor core may induce activity in surrounding components and equipment. These may in turn become radiation hazards during decommissioning or component exchanges. To better plan for this, models of the degree of activation and subsequently, the dose are therefore of great importance. Building upon a previous study of the neutr

The law concerning visitation zones has been widely debated in Sweden. While some see it as a necessary measure to fight the continuous gang violence, others are concerned it will create a divide between the police and the people in the areas they are put up. These presumed areas for the visitation zones are areas of low socio-economic status and with a high crime rate. Therefore, the purpose of t

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Swedish sustainable funds, which invest in Swedish companies and are registered in Sweden, have a higher risk-adjusted return than Swedish traditional funds. The main purpose is to evaluate the risk-adjusted return during the pandemic Covid-19 and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. We construct two different portfolios; one sustainable and one traditional p

Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif

The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st

Bakgrund: Stressrelaterad ohälsa har ökat bland unga och de upplever sig ha svårighet i att hitta balans mellan olika aktiviteter. Inom vården är sjukskrivning och hög psykosocial belastning vanligt förekommande, vilket utgör en risk för unga vuxna som går ett gymnasialt vårdprogram.

Information was gathered from literature and interviews with industry players. The results from the different sources were initially presented separately and later compiled to demonstrate what they in

Barnets ställning i det svenska samhället har under de senaste århundradena utvecklats från en obetydlig människa till en individ som spelar en stor roll i människors liv. Denna utveckling är ett exempel på hur mänskliga relationer och sociala processer påverkar hur man ser på olika individer i samhället. Utvecklingen skulle också kunna ses som en bidragande orsak till varför vårdnadstvister har öIn the last centuries, the child´s position in society has evolved from being seen as an insignificant human being to an individual that plays an important role in people’s lives. This development is an example of how social processes and human relations play part in how we see different people in society. The custody disputes in Sweden has increased over the past years. The evolvement of the chil
