This article argues that the development of regional innovation concepts, drawing primarily on the experiences of advanced regions, has led to inadequate narratives about the experience of less-developed regions (LDRs). Drawing on the extensive experience of the authors doing research in LDRs, the article develops three main arguments: first it examines the limitations of endogenous approaches to

PREMIERE: Premiered by Hu Liu during the 2017 China-ASEAN Music Week at the Guangxi University of the Arts on May 28th.NOTE:Imitating the Vivacity of the Human Voice, is a meditation on diversity and the roiling of coexistence. In this piece disparate components from east and west do not suggest a transcendent unification. Rather, rhetorical devices such as “Tiaogong” [跳弓] or “Schleifer” become so

Background: Musculoskeletal pain is among the most common reasons for seeking care, specialist competence for its treatment in primary care limited and waiting lists for orthopaedics often amongst the longest. Many referrals to orthopaedics do not concern disorders that benefit from surgery. Manual therapy is effective, yet not integrated in national health care systems, and there is a lack of res

This chapter aims to discuss the phenomenon of altering the telos of a treaty by changing the focus of its object and purpose through treaty implementation. To examine the consequences in international law of altering the telos of a treaty, this contribution uses the example of the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) against the backdrop of the considerations regarding a possi

The use of natural myoelectric interfaces promises great value for a variety of potential applications, clinical and otherwise, provided a computational mapping between measured neuromuscular activity and executed motion can be approximated to a satisfactory degree. However, prevalent methods intended for such decoding of movement intent from the surface electromyogram (sEMG) based on pattern reco

It has often been argued that the Earth is like an island in space and that its brittleness is most clearly reflected on small islands in the oceans. Easter Island, in particular, with its largely depleted resources, has been seen as a microcosmic warning about what could happen to our entire planet. However, the analogy of the Earth and islands with finite natural resources is not self-evident fr

Possibilities to develop human monoclonal antibody specificities have recently been much facilitated by improvements of human hybridoma technology but even more so by the emerging phage-display technique. However, until recently very little has been known about the characteristics at the molecular level of the induced, T cell-dependent human antibody response, frequently targeted by these techniqu

In this article, we deal with the so-called "risky sexual behaviours" and the spread of HIV/AIDS among the community of MSM (men who have sex with other men). For a long time, both the sociological analysis and the medical and epidemiological approach studied the behaviour of the gay population as “inherently” more problematic in terms of spreading the human immunodeficiency virus. For these studi

It has been commonly assumed that post-adolescent youth have fewer political discussions with parents than do adolescents, due to transitional events in young adulthood and the emergence of new age-appropriate socializing agents, like peers, colleagues, and romantic partners. We proposed a contrasting view that post-adolescent youth have more frequent political discussions with parents due to thei

More than 600 million people are living in coastal areas in the world. According to the trend of population migration, the global coastal area population may increase to more than 1 billion by 2050. In a long term, a series of activities such as sea-level rise due to global warming and unpredictable natural disasters increase the extent of coastal erosion. As coastal erosion continues to intensify

Bostadsmarknaden har under en längre tid kantats av ett antal problem både på ägande- och hyresmarknaden. Majoriteten av landets kommuner rapporterar en rådande bostadsbrist och effektivitetsförlusten till följd av efterfrågeöverskottet beräknas till 10 miljarder kronor per år. Identifierade problem på bostadsmarknaden är avsaknaden av fungerande flyttkedjor, långa bostadsköer, höga bostadspriser The Swedish housing market has been pressured for a long time with a majority of Swedish municipalities reporting housing shortages. The efficiency loss due to unmet demand is estimated at 10 billion SEK annually. Identified obstacles on the housing market are lack of functioning vacancy chains, long housing queues, high prices and constraining legislation. In 2009, new legislation was introduced

People’s obsession over objects and constantly renewing them was the initial core of the project. This led us in the direction of the fast fashion industry. The unrelenting change of trends forces the consumer to continuously update their wardrobe, while the time spans for new trends keep decreasing. The textile industry is one of the largest environmental issues of today. By focusing on outdoor e

Gruvdrift i yttre rymden har under de senaste åren vuxit fram som en reell möjlighet. Privata företag ligger i bräschen med att utveckla ny teknik för att uppnå utnyttjandet av resurser i yttre rymden. De rättsliga förutsättningarna är fortfarande ett hinder för sådana aktiviteter då de stora rymdfördragen inte uttryckligen förbjuder eller tillåter det. Problemet kring denna typ av gruvdrift har a

Swedish foreign policy has long been dominated by a neutral and non-interventionist stance. During the Cold war, the Swedish position was highy appreciated by both East and West. But when the war ended, the nature of threats shifted. Threats emanated from the new political world order. By using the theory of securitization, this thesis aims to examine how the Swedish state describe these threats a

The rules of responsibility regarding the working enviroment during the production in the construction industy makes it hard to demand responsibility when accidents occur even when there are flaws in the working enviroment. Flaws in the working enviroment is a big problem on construction sites and there are alot of accidents but at the same time only a few lead to conviction. The way cnstruction s

Det råder oklarhet kring hur 8 kap. 42 § ABL, vilken behandlar behörighets- och befogenhetsöverskridanden, ska tillämpas vid styrelsens och den verkställande direktörens överskridande av verksamhetssyftet när de rättshandlar för bolaget. Syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka och analysera denna oklarhet. Vid författandet av uppsatsen har både rättsdogmatisk och EU-rättslig metod använts. StyrelThere is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the question of how the provision 8 ch. 42 § in the Swedish Companies Act (ABL) is to be applied when the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, whilst acting on behalf of the company, has acted outside of the purpose of the company. This paper aims to analyze and investigate this issue using legal dogmatic and EU legal methodology approaches.

This study examines if the Swedish stock market adheres to the weak form efficient market hypothesis using Fourier analysis on past stock prices to identify possible cyclic returns. Fourier analysis is well suited for finding seasonalities which would violate the weak-form efficiency. 10 firms were randomly selected from stock market index OMX30 to represent the Swedish stock market. All firms
