Investments in infrastructure projects in developing countries are often seen as risky by private investors and local capital markets are not fully developed. Consequently, financial resources and guarantees are often to a large extent provided by financial institutions. Financial and economic analysis is important in assessing infrastructure investment proposals in order to assure that they are f
The authors Jeremy Carrette and Richard King argues that spirituality has become a subject of commodification (i.e. transformed into a commodity) as a consequence of the growing impact of Neoliberalism in the Western world since the 1980´s. These new forms of spirituality substitute traditional religion in secular societies and often operate with a hidden economic agenda. McDonaldization is a soci

Two hundred year's ago, Höganä's, a town situated in the north-west part of the county of Skåne, about 20 km north of the city of Helsingborg, had no local pottery tradition's. Höganä's wa's then a tiny fishing village that even lacked a harbour. Coal had now and then been quarried from an opencast mine and the local inhabitant's had collected it from the beach at low tide for their personal need'
An organization aiming to survive on a more challenging or changing market has to adapt or fundamentally change the way it is doing business. For the Swedish forest products industry, and more specifically the paper packaging industry, the market challenges range from saturated home markets, competing materials and increasing production costs, to growth of new markets and more powerful actors in t
This paper studies a newly developing relationship of closer collaboration between a buyer and supplier of a low complexity product, which cannot be considered strategic but of high volume, in the grocery retailing industry, The reason for studying this relationship is that the buyer has decided to go through with is program aimed at establishing is closer relationship with the supplier in the ca
Although it is generally anticipated that innovation as such leads to regional prosperity (Asheim et al. 2011) there is lack of empirical evidence that confirms the direct linkage between the innovation capabilities of regions and welfare increase. It is suggested that entrepreneurship can be seen as a missing link that helps to transfer innovations into business outcomes (Braun et al. 2012). The
Much research on SMEs is aimed at researching SMEs after the fact that they have become SMEs. However all SMEs as well as larger companies start as an idea in the head or heads of one or many persons - the prospective entrepreneurs. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how SMEs can be created by transforming ideas into real companies. More specifically we will investigate if and how Univers
In this concluding chapter, our aim is to outline the state-of-the-art within the deliberated topic in order to identify challenges for future research. Firstly, reminiscent of George Orwell’s aphorism “who controls the past controls the future”, we stress the importance of research into the origins of degraded and restituted towns in order to understand the socio-economic context that has shaped
IntroductionThe start of the 21st century is combined with the continuous replacement of classic C2/C3 chemistry with biological processes. This conversion process started at the end the 20th century and is combined with the integration of membrane processes as high selective and low energy consuming separation technologies in the production of fermentation based products. In fermentation based pr
As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu
One of the main drivers of China’s e-commerce boom is the dramatic expansion of the country’s Internet finance industry, which has grown and diversified at a staggering rate over the past decade. The emergence of Chinese Internet finance has been discussed in largely positive terms as facilitating commercial activity. It has also been linked to the wider developmental goal of promoting financial i
During pregnancy and involution, an extensive remodelling of the human cervical connective tissue occurs. This cervical ripening is one of the most pronounced physiological remodelling processes known in human connective tissue. To investigate how the remodelling is accomplished, the levels of mRNA for collagen I and III, versican and three small proteoglycans, biglycan, decorin and fibromodulin,
Hippocampal subfield segmentation on in vivo MRI is of great interest for cognition, aging, and disease research. Extant subfield segmentation protocols have been based on neuroanatomical references, but these references often give limited information on anatomical variability. Moreover, there is generally a mismatch between the orientation of the histological sections and the often anisotropic co
PurposeUganda is one of many African countries struggling to develop adequate healthcare, particularly in regard to local treatment and access to drugs. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of how reducing supply-chain complexity can improve health in developing countries. Design/methodology/approachThis study and evaluation included 50 interviews and 27 site visits of t
Artificial groundwater recharge is commonly used for drinking water supply. The resulting water quality is highly dependent on the raw water quality. In many cases, pre-treatment is required. Pre-treatment improves the drinking water quality, although how and to what extent it affects the subsequent pond water quality and infiltration process, is still unknown. We evaluated two treatment systems b
An improvement in our process-based understanding of carbon (C) exchange in the Arctic and its climate sensitivity is critically needed for understanding the response of tundra ecosystems to a changing climate. In this context, we analysed the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 in West Greenland tundra (64°N) across eight snow-free periods in 8 consecutive years, and characterized the key process
