Dual-listing has become a popular approach for companies to seek funding and international expansion. Typically companies grow big from less developed domestic markets and march into developed markets. However, China, as an emerging market economy has witnessed a wave of Hong Kong-listed companies returning to the mainland for a second IPO. One primary assumption for companies’ motivation to retur

We have investigated the CO induced faceting of a Rh(553) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The sample was exposed to a CO pressure of 1x10^-3 mbar, at different sample temperatures. The experiment was performed in the STM lab at the division of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University. AccordinMy bachelor thesis deals with the change of Rhodium (Rh) stepped surface under pure carbon monoxide exposure, which will help the understanding of it as a catalyst of carbon monoxide oxidation. Catalysts are widely used in different areas and industries as catalysis can help accelerating chemical reactions without itself being consumed. Rh is a metal catalyst used in the oxidation of CO to CO2. T
The purpose of this study is to understand the reason for pick up orders within construction maintenance sectors. Also why alternatives to pick up orders such as deliveries aren´t being utilized as frequently and what can be used to increase the usage of these alternatives is being reviewed. Via interviews with local managers, artisans and other staff within the case company, the opinions on diffe
The expansion of e-commerce and the consequent spatial changes raise questions about how accessibility and liveability for older people is considered in increasingly ageing societies. The aim of this article is to enhance the understanding of how digitally literate older people perceive e-commerce as a tool to accommodate their needs. The study therefore poses the question: How do digitally litera
Mitigating climate change will affect energy systems and have consequences that reach beyond environmental policies.

Background: Implementing the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model in welfare states like Sweden faces contextual challenges that often necessitate local adaptations to enhance fit and effectiveness. While fidelity assessments aim to ensure effective outcomes, adaptations may lead to unintended drift from core components.

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of application of the cluster based rural development approach in Armenia to promote its structural transformation. Case study was selected as a research methodology, and both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Analysis of the key findings from the ‘field’, i.e. - the potential cluster, shows that rural households pract
The aim of this essay is to create a more nuanced picture of board games during the viking age, through a qualitative study of the gaming material from Birkas graves. The focus of the study is to see if there is any correlation between status and board games, what social groups were the one playing them and how widespread the activity was in this town. This is based on the raw materials of the gam

Popular Abstract in English Neuroplasticity is the brain´s capacity to respond to inner and outer challenges with functional and structural reorganizations. An aberrant activation of neuroplasticity pathways may contribute to the development of neurological disease. In the case of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the induction of motor complications by L-DOPA pharmacotherapy is generally regarded as an eNeuroplasticity is the brain´s capacity to respond to inner and outer challenges with functional and structural reorganizations.

Popular Abstract in English Retailers are increasingly expected to use their market power to support the societal goal of sustainable consumption and production (SCP). For retailers, the challenge herein lies in the difficulty to translate the abstract societal discourse into concrete action in the marketplace. This thesis argues that retailers are well advised to give more attention to the indiviRetailers across Western Europe are faced with the challenge to integrate the idea of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) into their operations. The difficulty hierin lies in the the lack of any clear understanding or agreement for what the term implies for retailers and how to implement it in retailers’ daily operations. Instead, retailers need to handle a number of different – at times
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in humans, with a subset of susceptible individuals who experience recurrent episodes. The increase in antibiotic resistance in gram-negative uropathogens, due to antibiotic overuse, is a strong rationale for developing therapeutic alternatives and to improve diagnostics.

Populations of Dactylorhiza incarnata (early marsh orchids) with spotted leaves appear in widely separate parts of Europe including Scandinavia and the Baltic area, The Alps, and Britain and Ireland. Forms with spotted leaves have often been segregated as a separate subspecies, D. incarnata subsp. cruenta. Although previous studies have indicated that the taxon is heterogeneous, it is not known hoPopulations of Dactylorhiza incarnata (early marsh orchids) with spotted leaves appear in widely separate parts of Europe including Scandinavia and the Baltic area, the Alps, and Britain and Ireland.

Purpose: To address the systematic bias in whole-brain dual flip angle (DFA) T1-mapping at7T by optimizing the flip angle pair and carefully selecting RF pulse shape and duration.Theory and Methods: Spoiled gradient echoes can be used to estimate whole-brain maps ofT1. This can be accomplished by using only two acquisitions with different flip angles, i.e., aDFA-based approach.

Popular Abstract in English Fruits are a key complement to the diet of many people in the southern region of Africa, especially in rural areas. maphilwa (Vangueria infausta L.), maçanica (Ziziphus mauritiana), maçala (Strychnos spinosa), mapsincha (Salacia kraussi), cajú (Anacardium accidentale L.), mavungwa (Landolpia kirki) are some of the most commonly found fruits in sub-Saharan Africa, particThis study concerns the identification and characterisation of volatile components of fruits, and evaluation of the effect of heat treatment and drying on retention or loss of volatiles of fruits. The investigation included developing a procedure to extract volatile components from the fruit matrix, a purification step, separation, identification and quantification.
