Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone är geografiskt utmärkt placerad vid bedrivande av handel och utgör idag en internationell hub. Området har också tillgång till en god infrastruktur som ständigt förbättras. Waigaoqiao erbjuder sakkunniga konsulter och har ett starkt styrelsestöd. I framtiden då Free Trade Zones inte kommer att vara det enda valet för svenska företag som vill etablera sig i Kina,
The communicating home concept has been defined by identifying the dominating communication technologies to/from and in the homes, the most important customer behavior and user needs, the dominating products and the dominating actors of the industry.

I Sverige pågår just nu en harmonisering till IASB:s redovisningsstandarder, IAS, vilka från och med den 1 januari 2005 skall tillämpas av de börsnoterade företagen. En av dessa standarder, IAS19 ”Employee Benefits”, har översatts av redovisningsrådet och fått namnet RR 29 ”Ersättning till anställda”. Denna skall gälla under en övergångsperiod och fungera som en förberedelse inför den slutliga öve
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur företag använder celebrity endorsers i sina marknadsföringsstrategier. Vi valde att studera detta genom att välja tre svenska idrottsstjärnor i form av Susanna Kallur, Carolina Klüft och Kajsa Bergqvist. Vidare undersöker vi strategierna med hjälp av följande företag; AXA, HTH och V6. Valet av företag gjorde vi utifrån att de tre företagen med respekti
The Choice Blindness-methodology has introduced a novel way of investigating the properties of confabulation in introspective verbal reports. Johansson et al (2005a) showed participants 15 picture-pairs of female faces and asked them to, for each pair, choose the one they found most attractive. By asking participants to motivate their choices and by, unknown to the participants, manipulating the o
Uppsatsen handlar om negationens placering i huvudsats. Min hypotes är att negationens placering ändras under 1500-talet, från fundament till satsadverbialsplats. Undersökningens material består av sju texter, Järteckensboken är den äldsta och Johan Runis: Prosatexter på svenska är den yngsta.
This thesis examines whether Swedish quoted firms exhibit any asymmetries in macroeconomic risk exposure towards exchange rate risks and interest rate risks across bear and bull markets. Empirical research suggests that events in the stock market influence the real economy and that stock prices tend to lead real economic activity, and thus could bearish and bullish market give rise to conditional
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad det innebär att som musiker uttrycka sig inom flera musikaliska stilområden. Utifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv har intervjuer gjorts med fyra musiker som studerat jazz eller västerländsk konstmusik vid någon musikhögskola. Gemensamt för informanterna är ett utvecklat intresse för någon form av populärmusik vilka de med jazzen eller den västerländska Titel: Restricting, fortifying or liberating? - An interview study about expressing yourself in several musical style areas The purpose of this study is to find out what it means to a musician to express him- or herself in several musical style areas. From a hermeneutical perspective, interviews have been made with four musicians, who have studied jazz or classical music at a academy of music. Com
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett kundperspektiv undersöka användandet av hållbarhetsredovisningar vid val av leverantör. Uppsatsen syftar även till att undersöka vad som krävs av hållbarhetsredovisningar för att de skall kunna ligga till grund för en leverantörsbedömning. Uppsatsen har en abduktiv ansats. Information är inhämtad genom kvalitativa intervjuer och telefonintervjuer. Komplettera
This book is a contribution to the discussion about religion in contemporary Western society, characterized by the privatization of religion. The concept religion is not easily operational and does not carry meaning or implications that remain valid or consistent over time. It must be re-substantiated in order to remain descriptive and operational. This book’s ambition is to explore a means of re-
Abstract—Rhythmic movement of the arms while walking is an important feature of human gait. In this paper, we present an approach to analyze the movements of the arms while walking by using three wearable wireless devices placed around the torso. One of the devices is transmitter placed at the back and the other two are symmetrically placed receivers that record the power variation due to movement
Pressure overload activates cardiac fibroblasts leading to excessive production of extracellular matrix which may contribute to compromised heart function. The activated fibroblast acquires smooth muscle-like features such as expression of smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMA) and SM22 and is therefore referred to as myofibroblast. The molecular mechanisms underlying mechanical stress-induced myofibrobl
The fibrillatory rate of the surface ECG during atrial fibrillation (AF) has been suggested for quantification of the individual atrial remodeling, to monitor interventions and to predict the response to different therapies. In this dissertation, the relation between fibrillatory rate of the surface ECG and (1) clinical and echocardiographic variables, (2) the outcome of cardioversion, (3) circula
If water stays on wood surfaces or is trapped in gaps, the wood is supplied with water for a long period of time and high local moisture contents are reached. This can lead to decay by rot fungi, and it is therefore important to avoid such water traps in order to limit the decay rate. This paper presents two methods: one for determination of duration of surface moisture on wood surfaces and one fo
How to best measure working memory capacity is an issue of ongoing debate. Besides established complex span tasks, which combine short-term memory demands with generally unrelated secondary tasks, there exists a set of paradigms characterized by continuous and simultaneous updating of several items in working memory, such as the n-back, memory updating, or alpha span tasks. With a latent variable
BACKGROUND: Health-economic models of diabetes are complex since the disease is chronic, progressive and there are many diabetic complications. External validation of these models helps building trust and satisfies demands from decision makers. We evaluated the external validity of the IHE Cohort Model of Type 2 Diabetes; the impact of using alternative macrovascular risk equations; and compared t
The aim of this study was to evaluate the determinants of kidney function and the role of heritable factors in a sample of 249 siblings free from known cardiovascular disease and without antihypertensive drugs belonging to 110 families. Four different measures and estimates of kidney function were considered. Blood pressure was recorded during 24 h by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Heritabi
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the performance of cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools in the machining of high-chromium white cast iron. Two types of CBN tool materials were evaluated in the tests, including polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (pCBN) and binder-less crystalline cubic boron nitride (bCBN). Performance in terms of the levels of cutting forces, tool wear, surface rough
