  4. 13. Economic development and national environmental performance: A cross-country comparison

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Suvi Heikkuri; [2018]

    Abstract : The relationship between economic development and environmental performance has gained much attention since the development of the environmental Kuznets curve, which predicted that economic growth would lead to environmental degradation at early stages of development but would eventually improve environmental quality at higher income levels. This assumption of economic growth alone driving both causing and solving environmental issues is a potentially risky idea, and thus, scholars are examining the other potential factors behind the relationship.

  5. 14. Multiband functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for functional connectivity assessments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Cecilia Björnfot; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During resting state the brain exhibits synchronized activity within all major brain networks.

  6. 15. Detecting Cardiac Pulsatility and Respiration using Multiband fMRI

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Joakim Jonsson; [2018]
    Keywords : fMRI; multiband; cardiac pulsation; respiration; correlation analysis; neuroimaging;

    Abstract : Purpose: Arterial stiffening poses an increased risk of cerebrovascular diseases, cognitive impairments, and even dementia as cardiac pulsations reach further into the brain causing white matter hyperintensities and microbleeds. Therefore it is of interest to obtain methods to estimate and map cardiac related pulsatility in the brain. READ MORE
