Industrial Parks in China have played a crucial role in attracting foreign investment and in enhancing regional development. However, there is an open question: do industrial parks develop comparable effects as natural grown clusters? Following agglomeration theory that highlighted the economic advantages from proximity between firms, and making use of a rich dataset from the Chinese domestic firm

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett ledningsperspektiv studera organisationsförändringar där medarbetare involveras. Hur kan ledningen agera för att involvera medarbetare och samtidigt bibehålla en fokus på de syften och mål man har med förändringsvision? Metod: En kvalitativ ansats där empiri införskaffas genom en fallstudie av Swedbank med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Empirin har seda

This thesis aims to analyze the exports from the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to the European Union (EU) during the period 1972-2006. During this period several agreements were signed with the ambition to make it easier for LDCs to export to the EU market. The gravity model is used to examine the consequences of the agreements. The LDCs are categorized into three geographical categories: Afric

Om en EU-medlemsstat utformar en inkomstskatterättslig regel på ett sådant sätt så att den aktuella inkomstskatterättsliga regeln negativt särbehandlar en gränsöverskridande skatterättslig situation i jämförelse med motsvarande rent inhemska förhållanden, föreligger ett skattehinder för den fria rörligheten stadgad i EUF-fördraget. Inkomstskatteflyktsregler som specifikt riktar sig mot gränsöverskIf a Member State in the European Union design an income tax law rule in such a way so that the current income tax law rule leads to a negative difference of treatment in cross-border fiscal situations compared with corresponding purely domestic situations, there is a tax obstacle that hinders the free movement established in the TFEU. Income tax avoidance rules that specifically target cross-bord

With this essay I have examined the view of the saints during different epochs of the Middle Ages and what they considered distinguised a saint. The sources I have used in my examination are three different hagiographies: Dialogi de vita et miraculis patrum Italicorum part 2 by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century, Vita Ansgarii by Rimbert in the 9th century and Vita Anselmi archiepiscopi Can

I denna uppsatsen undersöks utifrån ett queerperspektiv bilden av lesbiskhet i nio skönlitterära verk och föreställningarna om homosexualitet i tre statliga utredningar (SOU 1935:68, SOU 1941:3 och SOU 1941:32). Skönlitteraturen utgörs av Agnes von Krusenstjernas romansvit om Fröknarna von Pahlen (1930-1935), Margareta Subars Charlie (1932) och Karin Boyes Kris (1934).

This paper is concerned with calculating the branching ratio of the decay A1 −→ Υ + γ of a pseudo-scalar Higgs boson, where Υ is a bound vector meson state of the quarks b and b-bar The results will then be applied to the b. phenomenology of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in the case where A1 has a mass in the interval 9.46 − 12 GeV . The paper will review the concept of spontan

This research stems from questions regarding people's relationships in the workplace, especially questions from the perspectives of minorities, such as cultural, visual, religious, and sexual minorities. The motive in pursuing this topic is illustrated by a few episodes about people whom I encountered in my life. They had difficulties being a minority in the workplaces, still the difficulties

This thesis is a qualitative case study regarding women empowerment, conducted during a two-month Minor Field Study in the island of Ukerewe, located in Lake Victoria, Tanzania. I aim to explore the term women empowerment through a critical lens whereby I problematize the instrumental understanding of women empowerment. Furthermore, I aim to explore people’s conceptions of the actual meaning of em

This thesis investigates the nonlinear detector response to Laser Induced Phosphorescence signal originating from the CdWO4 phosphor. A matrix method is utilized to map the detectors linearity for decay-time determination as function of detector gain and number of photons reaching the detector. The Matrix is created by scanning the energy of the laser beam hitting the phosphor thus changing the ph

Thirteen stellar objects known as extended globular clusters were found in the Halo of the Andromeda Galaxy. Three of these extended clusters have quantitative properties which are subsequently used to determine whether clusters of extended size could survive in the orbits of the Milky Way Galaxy. The question of whether extended clusters could survive in the orbits of the Milky Way, is interestin

In order to achieve the environmental quality goals it is required to reduce emissions, particularly carbon dioxide emissions from road transport. A step in the right direction, from an environmental perspective, is to increase the use of electric railway. This means that a well-developed and functioning network that is customized to the European standards is required in order to motivate and mana
