  1. 1. Constructing a Social Profitability Index: Socially Responsible Investing in Electric Utilities

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Odessa Bäckfors; Ebba Jernmark Burrows; [2023]
    Keywords : Socially responsible investing; Social Profitability Index; Sustainability ratings; Shareholder activism; Renewable electricity;

    Abstract : Building on a theory about the Social Profitability Index (SPI), this paper is the first to construct an SPI in practice ranking investment opportunities based on social and financial returns within the electric utility industry. The social return is the investor-preference weighted social gain from avoiding carbon emissions by changing to renewable production technology in a firm. READ MORE

  3. 2. Developing a reproducible bioinformatics workflow for canine inherited retinal disease

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Melina Toni Marie Martin; [2023]
    Keywords : CanFam4; Nextflow; Inherited Retinal Degeneration; dog; whole-genome sequencing; bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Inherited Retinal Degenerations (IRDs) are a heterogenous group of diseases which lead to vision impairment and can be found both in humans and in dogs. About 1 in 1,380 humans is estimated to suffer from an autosomal recessive IRD, which would be 5.5 million people worldwide, and many more are estimated to be unaffected carriers. READ MORE

    Keywords : Stochastic Resonance; climate cycle;

    Abstract : Historically, the earth’s fluctuation between interglacial and glacial climates has been observedto have a period of 105 years [1]. However, simulations of the global average temperature didn’tmanage to reproduce this cycle period until 1982, when Benzi et al. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving performance of BWA alignment of short sequences with coroutines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : David Jonsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA), previous experimentation has shown that alignment of short sequences (reads) can benefit fromincreased instruction level parallelism (ILP) using hyperthreading.This thesis investigates and demonstrates that one can increase the performance of short read alignemnt with BWA without hyperthreading enabled, by employing coroutines in order to increase ILP.

  6. 5. Quantifying changes in soil bioporosity in subarctic soils after earthworm invasions

    University essay from

    Author : Joel Fransson Forsberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Biopores; macropores; geoengineering earthworms; X-ray tomography;

    Abstract : Pores provide important hotspots for chemical and biological processes in soils. Earthworm burrows affect the macropore structure and their actions may create new preferential pathways for water and gas flow within soils. This, in turn, indirectly affect plants, nutrient cycling, hydraulic conductivity, gas exchange, and soil organisms. READ MORE
