In this paper, we assess the relationship between the environmental pillar score (the ‘E’ in ESG) and stock returns in the Swedish stock market. Specifically, we analyze the OMXS60 index, which comprises the 60 most traded assets on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Exchange, examining how environmental ratings correlates with the development of returns. Additionally, we investigate how this relationship i
As many arthropods, telecoprid dung beetles are deeply affected by anthropogenic pressures, including the extensive use of pesticides. Ivermectin, the main endectocide employed to treat livestock nowadays, drives population and species loss, and causes locomotion and sensory disorders in dung beetles. Imidacloprid, the major insecticide used to combat crop pests, is highly toxic towards pollinator
Cellmodell för analys av Tau klumpar vid Alzheimers sjukdom Sjukdomar som drabbar hjärnan kan klassas som neurodegenerativa och ge olika symptom, exempelvis demens, svårt med finmotorik och svårt att finna ord. Både Alzheimers sjukdom och Parkinsons sjukdom delar dessa symptom, fastän det finns olika bakomliggande orsaker. Denna sammankoppling mellan olika neurodegenerativa sjukdomars symptom pekAlzheimer’s disease is classified as a neurodegenerative disease and have the misfolding and aggregation of the protein Tau as an underlying cause. Tau loses its regular function to support the cytoskeleton and to protect DNA and RNA. The loss of function results in prion-like spread where regular Tau can bind and add to the formation of fibrils or neurofibrillary tangles. The aim with this thes
The Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutation, especially FLT3- internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITD), is common in AML and associated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy. This study explores an alternative approach by investigating the role of MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) in AML, known for its oncogenic properties. Previous research has linked miR-155 to poor AML prognosis, particularly in
This master’s thesis investigates the development and suggestion of a model for adapting and revising the technology strategies concerning Stationary Charging Stations (SCS), based on insights from relevant markets and stakeholders. This study particularly focuses on High-Tech Stationary Charging Stations in the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging industry, emphasizing Elonroad’s new Stationary Chargin
Mutualistic interactions between, for example, plants and pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems, while non-pollinating insects (exploiters) that exploit plants are commonly thought to have destabilizing effects. The long-term, i.e., evolutionary time scale, effects of such potential destabilization is however largely unknown. The eco-evolutionary implication
Den som tittar noggrant upptäcker ofta hur samma djur- eller växtart kan ha varierande former, till exempel utseenden och färger. Bland det vanligaste fenomenet är tydliga könsskillnader mellan hane och hona, eller sexuell dimorfism där hanen vanligtvis är större, har ornament eller är mer färgglad jämfört med honor. Detta går även att observera bland insekter där honor och hanar varierar i färg oSex-limited polymorphism is an interesting evolutionary phenomenon, which is widespread across organisms. Studying ultimate mechanisms that result in the evolution of sex-limited polymorphism can provide a window into how natural and/or sexual selection can result in the evolution of complex phenotypes. Here, I use butterflies from the tribe Polyommatini to study the evolutionary mode and tempo of
In the past decade, problematic school absenteeism has become a well-known concept in society and research. This study aims to research professionals’ perspectives on problematic school absences in elementary school and high school, and their alternative solutions and thoughts about preventative work. The study is conducted by several semi-structured interviews with six professionals who work or h
Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning har visat på låg kunskap gällande fertilitet, i synnerhet hos unga män. Medelåldern för förstagångsföräldrar ökar och man kan se att personer senarelägger barnafödandet till förmån för utbildning och karriär. Med bakgrund av detta har en internationell expertgrupp utvecklat en poster med fertilitetsrelaterad information: “Vill du ha barn i framtiden? Nio saker som kan
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om de fyra dimensionerna av identitetsledarskap (prototypikalitet, avancemang, entreprenörskap och direktörskap) predicerade olika former av socialt stöd (upplevt stöd från närmaste chef och stöd från medarbetare) samt social gemenskap på arbetsplatsen. Insamlingen av data utfördes i Sverige i form av en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades av personerThe purpose of this study was to examine if the four dimensions of identity leadership (prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship) could predict different forms of social support (perceived supervisorial support and collegial support) as well as social community in the workplace. The data was collected in Sweden through a digital survey which was answered by people who had
Bakgrund: Aktivitet och delaktighet är viktigt för hälsa och välbefinnande. En funktionsnedsättning kan medföra inskränkt delaktighet i fritidsaktiviteter. Fritidshjälpmedlet Joëlette, kan beskrivas som en en-hjulad rullstol med två handtag fram och bak. Joëlette används för att möjliggöra för personer med funktionsnedsättning att delta i turer i naturen. Bara ett fåtal tidigare studier finnsBackground: Activity and participation are important for health and wellbeing. A disability may lead to limited participation in leisure activities. The assistive device Joëlette can be described as a one-wheeled wheelchair with two handles at the front and back. Joëlette is used to enable persons with disabilities to participate in tours in nature. Only a few previous studies exist on similar as
This thesis investigates the inflationary impact of the European Electricity Market on its member countries, including the EU28, Norway, and Switzerland, from 2003 to 2019. The research question particularly focuses on whether this market impacts the level of inflation in its net exporting member countries. Utilising two panel data regression models, we explore the market's impact on the rate
Refusal to work is a term that falls under misconduct concerning termination and dismissal. The employee and the employer each have obligations due to the employment relationship. Refusal to work can be a breach of the duty of loyalty and thereby a breach of the employment contract. There is no clear definition of refusal to work in Swedish legislation, why this essay aims to investigate the meani
As the amount of high dimensional data becomes increasingly accessible and common, the need for reliable methods to combat problems such as overfitting and multicollinearity increases. Models need to be able to manage large data sets where predictor variables often outnumber the amount of observations. In this study the frequentist and Bayesian framework is tested against each other based on three
In 2017 the Swedish government issued an official report containing proposed changes to the compulsory care legislation to strengthen the child rights perspective and provide extended knowledge to the workers within psychiatry. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the reasoning regarding the proposed changes in the comment letters following the official report of the Swedish government:

Ett av de viktigaste målen inom experimentell fysik, om inte det viktigaste, är att utföra precisa mätningar för att nå bästa möjliga resultat. Inom högenergifysik görs mätningarna med hjälp av specialbyggda detektorer som bland annat finns vid världens största partikelaccelerator the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Vid LHC utförs flera experiment och ett av dessa är A Large Ion Collider Experiment This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. A strategy was also developed to be able
