This paper is for understanding the gap between city commercial banks and state-owned banks. In our image, the gap is exsiting for a long time, but how large is large, could it be changed. Through the quantitative analysis using CAMEL rating system, the conclusion is the performance of city commercial banks is wearker than state-owned banks from capital adequacy, assets quality, management, earnin

The original aim for this case study was to look at how two synonymous lexemes, feminine and womanly, have varied in meaning over time in both British and American literature and also, to see if there was a difference in the usage of the lexemes depending on whether the author was male or female. As can be read in Lyons (1995: 60), lexemes like feminine and womanly would be called near-synonyms in

Despite a fair amount of academic attention being afforded to the South African Police Service (SAPS), one actor within it has been constantly ignored. Considering reservists make in excess of 15% of the overall policing staff (albeit only as temporary staff) in Gauteng this gap is surprising. Reservists wear an identical uniform and carry out the same functions as permanent members but are not re

Oxytocin (OT) is a small neuropeptide, which is present in human plasma at extremely low endogenous levels of only a few pg/ml. It is mainly involved during labour and lactation but it has recently also been found that OT is involved in social behaviours like bonding and feeling empathy. During the last couple of years, the interest in OT has been raised and due to the matrix complexity, it is ver

The aim of this study is to examine what rhetorical themes and features are present in the speeches of Julius Caesar’s De bello Gallico and De bello civili. The investigation is based on the 172 speeches found in De Bello Gallico and the 83 speeches found in De Bello Civili. Lausberg’s Handbook of Literary Rhetoric: A Foundation for Literary Study provides the theoretical framework for the analysi

Urbanisation is an ongoing trend all over the world, and these same trends occur in the Faroe Islands as well. Some of the small peripheral islands are now believed to be on the verge of becoming unpopulated. This study investigates the role of landownership in depopulation on the outer islands in the Faroe Islands. The study looks at two islands in particular and investigates trends in land owner

To be able to produce an orange flavoured ProViva, a fruit drink containing oatmeal formula with the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, it is essential to inhibit the co-metabolism of citrate performed by the bacteria. Orange is namely a fruit containing high concentration of citric acid. By the end of shelf-life, the co-metabolism will result in an increase of an unwanted carbonatio

The aim of this study is to conduct a critical analysis of two video games through the perspective of gender studies. The reason for doing the analysis is implicitly connected to education. The results produced by this study are meant to showcase how video games can be analyzed critically, similar to how a novel or a movie can be analyzed. Sequentially, this will serve as an example how video game

Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a

Yesterday’s sole hardware product is becoming more and more rare. Today, the original products are increasingly surrounded by value adding services, software or control systems, all bundled together to a “total offer”. Christopher (1998) states that it is the totality of the offer which delivers customer value, and that adding value through differentiation and/or service is a powerful means of ach

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnskador som uppstår till följd av otillräckligt blodflöde (ischemi) drabbar årligen ett stort antal människor i Sverige och leder antingen till död eller invaliditet och åsamkar stort lidande för den drabbade och dennes anhöriga. Den vanligaste orsaken till hjärnischemi är stroke (slaganfall), som beror på en propp i ett blodkärl eller en hjärnblödning, till en begrBrain ischemia is a major cause of death and morbidity in the industrialized countries. It is mainly caused by stroke, but may also be the consequence of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation in victims of cardiac arrest, known as transient global ischemia. Although extensive effort in the field of brain research using experimental rodent models, no neuroprotective treatments are at present ava

In man, the predominant proteins in the seminal plasma include semenogelin I, semenogelin II and b-microseminoprotein (MSP). Semenogelin I and II are both synthesized in the seminal vesicles and are the backbone of the gel formed upon semen coagulation. MSP is synthesized in the prostate, but its role has not yet been defined. The genes and cDNA of semenogelin I and II and of MSP were cloned and c
