Since the economic reforms in 1978 the Chinese economy has shown remarkable growth rates. The countries in East Asia all had very high growth rates before they were hit by the economic crisis in 1997. Could the same thing happen to China? The aim of the thesis is to investigate if China is heading for an economic crisis. Based on theories and empirical studies of other economic crises we study the
Smad5 is known to transduce intracellular signals from bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and are involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Recent findings suggest that BMP4 stimulates proliferation of human primitive hematopoietic progenitors in vitro, while early progenitors from mice deficient in Smad5 display increa
Label-free LC-MS methods are attractive for high-throughput quantitative proteomics, as the sample processing is straightforward and can be scaled to a large number of samples. Label-free methods therefore facilitate biomarker discovery in studies involving dozens of clinical samples. However, despite the increased popularity of label-free workflows, there is a hesitance in the research community
Revised simulation theory (Goldman, 2006) allows mental state attributions containing some or all of the attributor’s genuine, non-simulated mental states. It is thought that this gives the revised theory an empirical advantage, because unlike theory theory and rationality theory, it can explain egocentric bias (the tendency to over attribute ones’ own mental states to others). I challenge this vi
With growing concern over organised crime in Sweden, increased attention has been directed towards children's involvement in escalating violence. Children are portrayed both as victims of coercion and as voluntary participants, reflecting a dual approach in governmental policy. This study investigates how the issue of children's involvement in criminal activities is problematised in three
The practice of using quantitative risk assessments (QRAs) for managing risks in land-use planning varies between countries. Some regulatory regimes are highly prescriptive in terms of explicit requirements on methodology, assumptions, modelling tools, input data, risk criteria, etc. Others require risk analyses to support decision-making without regulating the details. The present study seeks to
Affärsrättsligt centrum vid Lunds universitet, ACLU , bildades 2016 av förmögenhets- och affärsrättsligt verksamma forskare vid Lunds universitet. Avsikten med ACLU är att såväl samla som stärka de vitala och kraftfulla forskningsmiljöer på det affärsjuridiska området som finns inom Lunds universitet och göra dem såväl nationellt som internationellt konkurrenskraftiga. För en framgångsrik forskninLund University Centre for Business Law (Swedish abbr: ACLU) was founded in 2016 by researchers at Lund University. The purpose of ACLU is both to assemble and to strengthen the necessary and forceful research environments that exist at Lund University, and to make them both nationally and international competitive. An intense exchange of experiences and knowledge between the University and the pu
Avd. bedriver grundforskning inom mikrobiologi, immunologi och glykobiologi, samt överbryggande forskning med klinisk inriktning. Molekylär bakteriell patogenes avser de mekanismer bakterier använder för att orsaka sjukdom med särskilt fokus kring infektioner i luftvägar, magtarmkanal, urinvägar och hud. Patogenerna orsakar intrikata cellbiologiska effekter. Den immunologiska forskningen inom avd.
Chemical cross-linking was used to analyze the binding sites for the agonist bradykinin (BK) and the antagonists NPC17731 and HOE140 on the bovine B2 bradykinin receptor. [3H]BK and [3H]NPC17731 bound with high affinity to the same B2 receptor in bovine myometrial membranes as determined by the total number of specific binding sites and pharmacological specificity of the binding of these two radio
Soils play a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle by regulating the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and correspondingly the Earth’s climate. However, there are still countless questions of how biological and geochemical soil processes affect the C cycle. To be able to predict future implications on the Earth’s climate, we need to understand these processes. Globally, soils store more C tIron oxide nanoparticles are involved in several important biogeochemical processes. The interfaces between aqueous solutions and iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces are found everywhere in nature, and the chemical and microbial processes occurring at these complex interfaces control e.g. nutrient and contaminant availability and transport. Recently, it has been shown that certain ectomycorrhizal (EC
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore and critically challenge the potential and limitations of servant leadership to solve the human- related problems in the hospitality industry. Method: Based on the exploratory purpose of this thesis, qualitative data was obtained in a methodology informed by the strategy-as-practice perspective through observations and semi-structured interviews.
