As a transition economy, China faces the reality of shortage of innovation resources and unbalanced allocation of innovation resources among regions when operating innovation activities. In order to solve these two problems, China needs to make efforts in increasing innovation efficiency and narrowing disparities between eastern regions and other regions. Among them, central regions are the area t

Good faith har beskrivits som en av de mest omdebatterade principerna i CISG och är också det ämne som denna uppsats behandlar. Eftersom artikel 7 är det enda stället i CISG där good faith uttryckligen omnämns har uppsatsen tagit sin utgångspunkt i denna artikel. En studie av fyra olika länder har bekräftat att det dilemma som är förknippat med good faith härrör från det faktum att principen tilThe principle of good faith has been described as one of the most debated concepts of the CISG and is also the main subject of this thesis. Since Article 7 is the only article of the CISG expressly mentioning good faith it has served as the base for this study. An examination of four different countries confirms that the dilemma of good faith originates from the fact that it is a concept known a

Förändringar i europeisk lagstiftning har gett producenten ett ansvar för återvinning av använda förpackningar. Den nya lagstiftningen skall vara implementerad i de nationella lagarna senast den 30 juni 1996. Inga förpackningar får om fem år introduceras på marknaden om det inte finns ett uppbyggt återvinningssystem. Dessutom ställer lagstiftningen krav på att mängd förpackningsmaterial som använd

Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Commission set the ground for an integrated and liberalized electricity market in Europe. According to the law of one price the possibility for perfect arbitrage and the absence of trade restrictions lead to homogeneous goods being priced uniformly across countries. The aim of this study is to test whether the law of one price is applicable to the electricity m

While the international community would like to think it does not happen crimes are committed by peacekeepers. There is a growing prevalence of the crimes of trafficking, rape, sexual slavery and enforced prostitution being perpetrated by peacekeepers. These are all gender-specific crimes against women. They are also the crimes that most often remain unpunished, especially when committed by peacek

In the traditional model of international law, to which however reality has never exactly corresponded, situations of armed violence fall into clearly defined categories which in their turn appertained to a certain set of rules of international law applicable. For armed conflicts between sovereign states ('war'), international humanitarian law provides a full body of rules. On the other ha

Volatile conflicts, poverty and suppression of basic human rights stemming from one's political or religious affiliations, gender and race, are some of the various reasons why thousands flee home in the hopes of finding some kind of security. As the world observes the appalling deterioration of conflicts in Western Sudan, Iraq and Haiti, we simultaneously observe neighbouring or developed coun

This aim of this research was to investigate possible reasons for the large gap between legal frameworks and policies in comparison to the practical implementation of Legal Aid Services in Zimbabwe. The responsibility of the state to provide legal aid, protection and civil legal aid necessary to ensure this provision for those who cannot afford such is affirmed by international legal instruments,

Popular summary: Air quality data mart built in this study consists of historical air pollutant data for cities across Ontario. This data is available at the Ontario ministry of environment website from 2000-2007 for most of the cities. There is missing data for some of the cities and some pollutants as well. It is because the monitoring of those specific pollutants did not commence in or before 2

Utvärdering av ett målprotein för behandling av ledgångsreumatism Reumatisk artrit (RA), eller ledgångsreumatism som det också kallas, är en autoimmun sjukdom som 1% av världens befolkning lider av. Kroppens egna immunceller blir autoreaktiva och attackerar lederna i främst händer och fötter. Den ökade mängden immunceller i de här lederna resulterar i svullnad och inflammation, men även ben och bRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease resulting in swelling and destruction of bone and cartilage within the small joints. The mechanism behind the disease is not fully understood, but the interaction of autoreactive T-cells with effector cells like B-cells and macrophages through cytokine signaling is believed to be important. A potential target for drug development against arthritis that

Rening av avloppsvatten – Nya lösningar och möjligheter Findus Sverige AB i Bjuv strax utanför Helsingborg är en av norra Europas största producenter av frysta grönsaker. De processer som produktionen innebär är extremt vattenkrävande och ger upphov till stora mängder processvatten. Företaget har ett eget reningsverk som används för att rena processvattnet innan det släpps ut till recipienten VegAbstract The water treatment plant at Findus Sverige AB, located in Bjuv in Southern Sweden, is used to treat process water from the production of mainly frozen vegetables. The capacity of the treatment plant is not sufficient during high levels of production, which leads to limits on discharge of nutrients to the nearby Vegeå are exceeded at times. In order to minimize the risks of this happenin

Forest fire is known as an important natural hazard in many countries which causes financial damages and human losses; thus, it is necessary to investigate different aspects of this phenomenon. In this study, performance of four models of linear and quadratic discriminant analysis (LDA and QDA), frequency ratio (FR), and weights-of-evidence (WofE) was investigated to model forest fire susceptibili

Scapolite-bearing orthogneisses underlying the Proterozoic Varena Iron Ore Deposit, eastern Lithuania, the western East European Craton, represent the development of a sodic alteration zone. Scapolite chemistry records fluid salinity increase with temperature, reaching its maximum at temperatures of ∼750 °C. Fluid-mineral reactions controlled the fluid KCl/NaCl ratio, enabling partial melting at p

The emergence of the Internet has created a new legal climate where borders have become increasingly diffused. A risk of unlawful use of material distributed on the Internet is more than a threat&semic today it is reality. The range of unlawful material is immense and copyright holders are missing out on important revenues. Consequently, the Directive on Copyright in the Information Society of

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the influence of wall conduction on the heat transfer of supercritical n-decane in the active regenerative cooling channels. Design/methodology/approach: A horizontally placed rectangular pipe with a solid zone and another one without a solid zone were used. A drastic variation of thermo-physical properties was emphatically addressed. Afte

Job stress and burnout are highly prevalent in healthcare professionals, and nurses in particular. Given its deleterious consequences not only for professionals’ well-being but also for patients and organizations, it is important to have adequate measures to assess professional quality of life. This study aimed to offer a contribution for the Portuguese validation of the Professional Quality of Li

Biofouling is a crucial factor in membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications, particularly for high organic loading operations. This paper reports a study on biofouling in an MBR to establish a relationship between critical flux, J(c), mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) (ranging from 5 to 20 g L-1) and volumetric loading rate (6.3 kg COD m(-3) h(-1)) of palm oil mill effluent (POME). A lab-scale 100

Background: The survival time in nursing homes (NHs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) might be affected by sociodemographic/clinical characteristics, rate of disease progression, and use of specific medications and community-based services. Whether different aspects of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy modify time spent in NHs is unclear. Therefore, we examined the relationship between these pote

Understanding how the design of high-pressure homogenizer valves influence pressure losses in the device is of general interest for performance optimizing, and of special importance for developing correlations for predicting gap heights and gap velocities. The traditionally used correlation is from 1975 and based on a limited experimental dataset on gaps that are longer and often of lower capacity
