This paper investigates the performance differences between sustainable and unsustainable funds, measured by ESG rating, over the time period of January 2006 to December 2020 on OMX Stockholm. It also sheds light on the performance differences between unsustainable funds and unsustainable funds claiming to be sustainable, i.e. greenwashers. The paper uses Fama and French five-factor model and time
RF-switches are key components in many electronic devices as they enable routing of higher frequency signals. Increasing demands on device performance requires new technologies as well as new approaches to designs of circuits. III-V nanowire MOSFETs are a promising device technology well suited for implementation of switches. This work investigates the design trade-off's for III-V nanowire MO
Bellahøj is an area situated in the northwestern part of Copenhagen, Denmark, 5 km away from the inner city. Considering its architectural heritage, abundance of green capital, a wide variety of resident groups and a convenient location, it has a great potential for being a well-functioning neighbourhood, yet, there seems to be a missing piece of puzzle that causes Bellahøj to feel fragmented and

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka lagändringen den 13 juni 2014 i lag (2005:59) om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Undersökningen utreder avtal på distans och avtal utanför affärslokaler mellan en konsument och en näringsidkare för varor och tjänster. Uppsatsen granskar ändringar där den svenska lagstiftningen är tillämplig men kommer även bestå av EU-rättsligt material. Anledningen This essay’s purpose is to analyze the amendment of 13 July 2014 in the Swedish Distance Contract Act. The study discusses the distance contract and off-premises contracts between a trader and a consumer for products and services. This essay analyzes the changes where the Swedish law is applicable but it will also include analyzes of EU law. The reason is that the amendment is based on an EU Direc
Nanowires provide interesting features for photovoltaic applications. Materials with desirable band gaps can be combined into heterostructures with very little strain and with a fraction of the material consumption seen in conventional solar devices. Moreover, nanowires show outstanding optical absorption and InP and GaAs nanowire solar cells have been shown to reach efficiencies of 13.8 % and 15.
Background and Objectives: With an ageing population, the number of older persons with substance use problems, particularly problematic alcohol use, is increasing. Despite growing recognition of the negative consequences of problematic alcohol use on older persons, there is a dearth of knowledge about the alcohol use profiles and the dimensionality of alcohol problems in older people. Moreover, l
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) are glandular kallikreins secreted by the prostate gland. Both enzymes are synthesized with a propeptide that is supposedly cleaved off in the prostate to yield the mature forms found in semen. We have purified and characterised recombinant PSA and hK2 produced in eucaryotic cells. Recombinant PSA was recovered as a zymogen and
The ever-increasing consumption of natural resources required for the production of consumer electronics, and the growing amount of electronic waste, underline the importance and urgency of extending the lifespan and use of such products. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) remanufacturing is a growing industry, which nonetheless faces several barriers. Consumers often have a perception
Purpose: This article aims to determine the prevalence of substance use among young festival-goers and the associations between preferences for different types of music and recent use of different types of licit and illicit drugs. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on a cross-sectional survey of 1,787 young adults attending a music festival in Denmark. Associations between preferenc
In this article, the author focuses on Big Brother in relation to audience attraction. I outline the context of factual entertainment and its audience, and the specific experience of watching Big Brother. Seen in relation to factual entertainment as a whole, Big Brother is one of the least popular examples of “documentary as diversion.” Seen in relation to gamedocs, Big Brother is one of the most
What are the consequences of a severe health shock like an influenza pandemic on fertility? Using rich administrative data and a difference-in-differences approach, we evaluate fertility responses to the 1918–19 influenza pandemic in Sweden. We find evidence of a small baby boom following the end of the pandemic, but we show that this effect is second-order compared to a strong long-term negative
This text highlights the neglected dimension of justice in the design of sustainable pension systems. This is done through an analysis of the current Swedish pay-as-you-go pension system, which is often described as exemplarily sustainable. The detailed analysis singles out four distributional effects that the system produces and which can be considered unfair: (1) that the old have to carry most
