The Oncology ETF: How Retail Traders Can Utilize Custom Growth ETF’s
Get PDFExchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are potent investment vehicles to generate returns from systematic gains in any market. However, they have historically been products created and distributed by large financial institutions. Due to various drawbacks of institutionally available ETFs, many retail traders have begun to create their own custom ETFs. These custom ETFs operate as mini-portfolios and have significant potential to generate alpha, or positive risk-adjusted return, when positioned specifically in growth markets.
In this work I aim to show the potential for custom ETFs in retail trading. In achieving this goal, I have broken this work into two sections. The first section will give a history of ETFs and explain the various ETF investment strategies. The second section will then be a case study detailing the process of creating a custom ETF for the oncology pharmaceuticals industry. In this section I will first give a brief overview of the oncology economy to explain why it is an ideal candidate for a custom ETF. I will then detail the process of creating said custom ETF, including search tactics, inclusion principles, a case study of a high potential passed security, and how I determined portfolio weightings by optimizing the projected portfolio Sharpe ratio
Spectrophotometric Device for Early Malaria Detection
Get PDFMalaria remains a significant global health challenge, with millions of cases reported annually, particularly in resource-limited regions. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and disease management. Unfortunately, there are still significant challenges in existing testing procedures, which are often expensive, inaccurate, or impractical for mass testing. While spectrophotometry has been proposed as a detection tool for other tropical diseases such as dengue fever, no prototype has been made for any disease, including malaria. This report addresses this gap by presenting a spectrophotometric-based malaria detection tool that achieves high sensitivity at a low cost. The inclusion of a user-friendly interface ensures simplicity in its operation, making it suitable for deployment in field settings
A Salutogenic Program for Menopause - Enhancing Well-Being with Yoga Therapy
Get PDFMenopause, a natural transition for women, often brings about a multitude of physical, psychological, and emotional challenges. As life expectancy rises, a significant portion of a woman\u27s life is spent post-menopause. This thesis explores the potential of yoga therapy as a complementary approach to enhance well-being and improve quality of life during this significant phase. It describes IRB research about Yoga Therapy for Menopause- a salutogenic program that aims to create a safe and educational platform for women who are navigating the changes that menopause brings. This research underscores the effectiveness of yoga therapy as a complementary approach to coping with menopausal symptoms. It further emphasizes the importance of creating supportive spaces for women navigating this transition
The Human Affectome
Get PDFOver the last decades, theoretical perspectives in the interdisciplinary field of the affective sciences have proliferated rather than converged due to differing assumptions about what human affective phenomena are and how they work. These metaphysical and mechanistic assumptions, shaped by academic context and values, have dictated affective constructs and operationalizations. However, an assumption about the purpose of affective phenomena can guide us to a common set of metaphysical and mechanistic assumptions. In this capstone paper, we home in on a nested teleological principle for human affective phenomena in order to synthesize metaphysical and mechanistic assumptions. Under this framework, human affective phenomena can collectively be considered algorithms that either adjust based on the human comfort zone (affective concerns) or monitor those adaptive processes (affective features). This teleologically-grounded framework offers a principled agenda and launchpad for both organizing existing perspectives and generating new ones. Ultimately, we hope the Human Affectome brings us a step closer to not only an integrated understanding of human affective phenomena, but an integrated field for affective research
