This research addresses the role of social capabilities over the growth trajectory of natural resource (NR) rich developing countries through a case study – an analytical narrative using data from various sources – of the Chilean experience since the early 1900s to the present. The paper adopts a novel framework, which identifies four distinct but interrelated dimensions of social capabilities: tr

Sammanslagningar mellan organisationer är idag ett vanligt förekommande fenomen inom näringslivet, detta på grund av en strävan efter att bli mer kostnadseffektiv och konkurrenskraftig på den rådande marknaden. Det här examensarbetet syftar till att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever kommunikativa insatser i samband med en sammanslagning, vilken inverkan dessa kan ha på medarbetarnas inställning tMergers between organisations is a commonly occurring phenomena in the business world of the 21th century, due to a pursuit of becoming more cost-effective and competitive on a national or international market. This bachelor thesis aims to investigate how employees experience communication strategies and which impact they may have on attitudes when an organisation has been merged, and if it is pos

Kollektivtrafik är ett bra sätt för människor att resa mer socialt och miljövänligt. Det är därför viktigt att ha ett välfungerande system för kollektivtrafik. En stor del av det är att de pendlare som reser med tåg har en bra upplevelse. Om tågen är överdrivna med människor förlorar den sin konkurrenskraft med andra transportmedel som bilar. I denna rapport har undersökt hur andelen pendlare har

The world is currently facing many great challenges, including a rising inequality as a result of the benefits occurring from economic development accrues to some individuals on the expense of others. This is an issue which is even more significant in the Global South. Hence, social innovations have been proposed as an important factor to tackle this problem. Yet, many social innovations fail not

Både i varumärkesrätten och marknadsföringsrätten förekommer situationer när en part i en tvist behöver bevisa att dess märke eller produkt uppfattas på ett visst vis på marknaden. Omständighetens uppfattning om ett föremål (en vara/tjänst eller ett märke) är bland annat av relevans för de markandsföringsrättsliga bestämmelserna för vilseledande efterbildning och renommésnyltning, men även för de Both in trademark law and marketing law there are situations when a party in a case needs to present evidence that supports that its trademark or product is perceived in a certain way by the relevant public. The relevant public’s perception of the object in question is relevant in marketing law including the provisions for passing off and misleading imitations and in trade mark law including the p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Felaktig DNA-reparation av typen mismatch repair (MMR) uppkommer i 15-17% av cancer i tjock- och ändtarm (kolorektalcancer). MMR defekter är av betydelse i tre situationer: • MMR defekta tumörer har en bättre prognos än övrig tjock- och ändtarmscancer, vilket kan användas för att avgöra huruvida en patient skall erbjudas sk. adjuvant Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is carcinogenic and can either have somatic/sporadic causes (i.e. epigenetic silencing or somatic inactivation) or hereditary causes (Lynch syndrome due to a germline mutation in one of the MMR genes ¬- MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2). The identification of MMR defective colon cancer is clinically relevant for diagnostic, prognostic and potentially also for treatment-predi

Information management is today a matter of great importance for every organisation. It is therefore necessary for organisations to see information and its management as a significant part of the organisation s key to success. In this essay we have chosen to study the implications of information policy and information strategy for The Nordic Council/The Nordic Council of Ministers. These two inter

Abstract Following the 2004 EU-enlargement, the UK granted free movements of workers to nationals from the eight new member states (A8). There was a widespread concern in other European countries regarding the expected large inflow of A8 migrants, and consequently twelve of the old EU member states decided to implement transitional restrictions. This lead to a relatively large inflow of A8 migrant

Avskogning är ett globalt problem och har många negativa effekter. Det största hotet mot skogen är dessvärre människan. Trots ökade satsningar på hållbar skogshantering och skogsvård så fortsätter avverkningen av skog i snabb takt världen över, för att ge plats åt andra typer av markanvändning så som jordbruks- och betesmark. Världens population fortsätter att öka och Afrika är den kontinent med sDeforestation is a widespread problem and has many negative impacts. The biggest threat to forest is human activities. Despite increasing efforts regarding forest management and forest conservation, the deforestation continues at a high rate to give space for other land uses such as agriculture and pasture. The world’s population continues to grow and Africa is the continent with fastest growing p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen i världen bland kvinnor och bara i Sverige insjuknar varje år runt 7000 personer. Vi vet att omkring 10-15% av fallen troligen beror på ärftliga faktorer och det har under senare tid gjorts stora insatser för att klargöra exakt vilka arvsanlag som har betydelse för utveckling av sjukdomen. Under början av 90-talet identifieradeHereditary breast cancer constitutes a considerable fraction of the total number of breast cancer cases occurring each year. Up until recently very few breast cancer predisposing genes were known, but many new common polymorphisms contributing to increased cancer susceptibility are continuously being identified. This thesis has focused on familial breast cancer and identifying as well as investi

The aim of this essay was to examine, from the relative's angle, which actions and behaviour that had an effect on how the relatives valued the encounters with the personnel at so called group housing for persons with cognitive disabilities. The constructional frame of the investi-gation originated from two presumptions. Firstly that the encounter between people is af-fected both by the person

Blood parasites (Haemosporidia) are thought to impair the flight performance of infected animals, and therefore, infected birds are expected to differ from their non-infected counterparts in migratory capacity. Since haemosporidians invade host erythrocytes, it is commonly assumed that infected individuals will have compromised aerobic capacity, but this has not been examined in free-living birds.

An ongoing continuous process of automatization of the production lines is used in industry to reduce production costs. Automatization of quality control should be seen as part of a cost reduction process, as well as of quality control of the welding. Mostly the time-consuming and expensive checking procedure of the weld joint is carried out off-line by an experienced welding operator. The need fo

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have attracted consider- able interest in recent years as a convenient, flexible and low-cost alternative to wired communication infrastructures in many contexts. However, the great majority of research on metropolitan-scale WMN has been centered around max- imization of available bandwidth, suitable for non-real-time applications such as Internet access for the genera

Time series analysis of population abundances is a common approach to making inferences about population dynamics, and especially for estimating density dependence. Traditionally the impact of potential errors in observations or measurements of the abundances on inference has been ignored. Following the increased availability of appropriate software as well as statistical awareness among ecologist

Objective: To explore whether clinical balance and gait tests can predict instability (falls and/or near falls) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).Background: Current PD-studies suggest that multiple balance tests should be used in order to predict falls. However, few studies have included near falls when investigating falls prospectively as recommended.Methods: The study included 74 people w

Urbanisation and industrialisation has led people spending more time indoors than ever before. Many buildings have small windows and contain large windowless spaces. Therefore, the natural daylight outdoors has to be replaced by light from artificial sources. If light affected vision only, this situation would be difficult enough. Since light also affects both well-being and health, the design of

The tropical carbon balance dominates year-to-year variations in the CO2 exchange with the atmosphere through photosynthesis, respiration and fires. Because of its high correlation with gross primary productivity (GPP), observations of sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) are of great interest. We developed a new remotely sensed SIF product with improved signal-to-noise in the tropics, and use it here t

Understanding the mechanisms that regulate the dynamics of spatially structured populations (SSP) is a critical challenge for ecologists and conservation managers. Internal population processes such as births and deaths occur at a local level, while external processes such as dispersal take place at an inter-population level. At both levels, density dependence is expected to play a critical role.
