Recently the question of agriculture development has been emphasised as an important part of balanced sustainable growth in China. My paper accounts for different growth trajectories and development pace between coastal regions and inland provinces. My interest is more convergence-divergence between agriculture development in different regions than convergence-divergence between rural and urban ar
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka hur agil utveckling och användarcentrerad design kan kombineras i en utvecklingsprocess. Undersökningen baseras sig på den utvecklingsprocess med Scrum som används på en sektion vid avdelningen Applikationer och Service på Sony Mobile Communications AB i Lund, Sverige. Det första målet med examensarbetet var att förse sektionen med ett antal förslaThe main purpose of this master´s thesis was to investigate how agile development and user-centered design can be combined in a development process. The target development process for this investigation was a development process at a section in the department Application and Service at Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. The first goal of the thesis was to provide the section with a set
New products on the market are likely to be simulated in a computer sometime during the development process. The environment for which the physical model of the product is developed may not always be the optimal for control simulations of the model. To be able to export models from one environment to another a common model definition must be defined. The Functional Mock-up Interface, FMI, provides
Background & Aims: RNA interference (RNAi) may offer new treatment options for chronic hepatitis B. Replicating via an RNA intermediate, hepatitis B virus (HBV) is known to be principally vulnerable to RNAi. However, beyond delivery, the relevant issues of potential off-target effects, target site conservation in circulating HBV strains, and efficacy of RNAi itself have not systematically been
Through recent years, RNA has rapidly gone from mainly being known as a passive information-carrying molecule within the central dogma of molecular biology to becoming the active ingredient in multiple therapeutics, such as in vaccines and potential drugs against cancer. However, one of the main challenges with RNA as a therapeutic is efficient delivery to cells. Understanding the mechanism throug
The Council Directive 92/50/EEC of 18 June 1992 relating to the coordination of procedures for the award of public service contracts establishes shared rules and procedures for the award of public service contracts within the internal market. The directive defines the public service contract award criteria, contracting authorities are bound to apply. Purpose of this study is to demonstrate how leg
The purpose of this study was to explore the head coaching through greater understanding of clients' experiences of the coaching process. The study should be classified as a qualitative study with phenomenological approach. All participants in the study were middle managers and were employed at a company that is a leading Austrian supplier with headquarters in Vienna (Austria). The company als
Abstract Title: The Path Dependency of former monopolists Seminar date: 2013-05-30 Course: FEKN90 Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet (30 ECTS) Authors: Niklas Sandberg and Henrik Karlsson Advisor: Matts Kärreman Five key words: Monopolist, Path dependency, Strategy, Competition and Deregulation Purpose: To explain how path dependency is affecting the strategies of former mon
Anomia or word retrieval difficulties are the most commonly observed symptoms in individuals with aphasia and often severely affect the communication abilities in their every day life. There are reports of word retrieval difficulties demarcated to different domains or categories. The most frequently reported form is that of deficits affecting the ability to name objects in the living domain as opp
The time-frequency (TF) spectral representation of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) signal data provides information about their spectral contents. We apply the Spectrogram, Thomson Multitaper and Peak Matched Multiple Window (PM MW) spectral estimation methods to four different number of clicks per average (i.e., 1313, 300, 100 and 50 number of clicks per average) of a simulated signal data. For
This study examines the visual representations of the European Union (EU) in political cartoons on the 2004 enlargement and the 2009-2012 Eurozone debt crisis, and the interactions between these depictions and Europe’s socio-political order. Carried out on fourteen political cartoons (out of a 300-cartoon corpus), the visual analysis is based on the theories of traditional semiotics, social semiot
Popular Abstract in Swedish I högrisksystem såsom sjukvården är det frestande att härleda såväl framgång som motgång till enskilda individer. Vi prisar hjälten Dr. House för framgångssagor och vi drar syndabocken SOS-sköterskan inför domstol för att inte ha uppfattat allvaret i en specifik situation. Den enskildes professionalitet, erfarenhet och klokskap används som förklaringsmodeller för framgåThe main aim of the research is to explore different aspects of organisational resilience in escalating situations, with an investigation of both theoretical and practical implications. From the platform of an explorative approach, this study makes use of naturalistic research in the domain of health care and experimental simulation studies, in order to establish a broad theoretical framework vis-
The planning and construction of a facility can affect several interests. Positive effects are, for instance, better communications, better housing and a higher standard of living. However, construction projects inevitably bring varying degrees of deterioration and change at the local level, not least at the construction site. Representatives of these interests are referred to as the project's sta
This paper describes a highly digitized direct conversion receiver of a single-chip quadruple-band RF transceiver that meets GSM/GPRS and EDGE requirements. The chip uses an advanced 0.25-mum BiCMOS technology. The I and Q on-chip fifth-order single-bit continuous-time sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) ADC has 84-dB dynamic range over a total bandwidth of +/-135 kHz for an active area of 0.4 mm(2). Hence,
Urokinase, a serine protease, catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, which is responsible for dissolution of clots in blood vessels. It is an important drug for treatment of thromboembolic disease. Production of urokinase by mammalian cell culture has the following important steps: synthesis, regulation and secretion. Production and accumulation of this product in a bioreactor is a re
Uppsatsen syftar till att diskutera om miljöbalkens målsättning är miljömässigt godtagbar. Frågeställningen är om innebörden av en hållbar utveckling utifrån den utveckling av begreppet som sker i relation till forskningen om planetära gränsvärden kan sägas vara inom ramen för målsättningen om hållbar utveckling i miljöbalkens portalparagraf. Först presenteras rättsvetarna Kim och Bosselmanns syThe purpose of this essay is to discuss if the objective of the Swedish Environmental Code (EC) is environmentally acceptable. The question asked is if the meaning of a sustainable development according to the development of the concept that is occurring in relation to research about planetary boundaries is within the scope of the objective of sustainable development in the preamble of the EC. At
Some of the most important challenges in teaching Intelligence Analysis in anacademic context are to make the students reflect on their own biases and toconvey how group dynamics shape the analytical process. Only by learningthis can they understand the ease with which an individual or group slips intofamiliar patterns of thinking and thus fails to identify new, unexpecteddevelopments. According t
