This thesis examines the nature of the capitalist mode of production and begins with the contention that it necessarily produces unjust outcomes do to its economic mandates and corresponding organization of social relationships. More specifically, this thesis will investigate the processes through which the capitalistic mode of production reproduces itself. An understanding of these processes allo
As aerosol particles are important for global climate effects, their sources and influence on global aerosol particle concentrations need to be quantified. One of the major aerosol sources in the atmosphere is new particle formation (NPF) of new nanometer sized particles in the atmosphere. The influence on the global aerosol concentration due to NPF events is however not well quantified. The goals
The European Union's policies toward China is influenced mostly by economic relations and political relations. Dumping, as one of the important element, causes trade friction, which could affect the Europe Union's commercial policy towards China. According to Europe Union's the Common Commercial Policy, Europe Union's anti-dumping is one of the commercial defence instruments, as no
Foreign direct investments (FDI) have considerably increased during the last twenty years throughout the world. Theory suggests that FDI affects host economies in a positive way through the advanced technologies they bring with them and which could spill over the domestic companies. Therefore, more and more research aims to assess the impact of foreign direct investments on the host economies. Thi
This paper examines the effects of an income tax cut on economic growth. The way it is examined is twofold; in part through an increased savings rate and in part through increased inequalities. The former one is considered a more direct effect of the tax cut whereas the last one is considered a more indirect effect. The income tax cut is investigated under the assumptions of the Solow growth model

The Sahel lies in the semi-arid zone of North Africa between the Sahara Desert to the north and the savannas and rainforest to the south. In the Sahel, the variability of vegetation growth is predominately controlled by moisture reception in the concurrent rainy season. The inter-annual variability of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) during the rainy season (April to August) can be ex
After a fifty yearlong period of political hostility, Taiwan perceived the fall of Soviet Union as an opportunity to establish Russia as a prime trade partner. Given Russia’s relationship with China and its importance in promoting Taiwan’s international status, the road was paved with many obstacles. Scholars argue that Taiwan deploys its trade diplomacy in order to promote its national awareness

In the west, out-innovating China has been a frequent proposal to deal with the feared threat posed by China’s rapid industrialization. However, China is not content with being only a manufacturing economy and has subsequently introduced multiple programs to foster research and development domestically. One of the most prominent sectors targeted by China’s programs and upheld by the west as their
We propose an approximate scheme based on a saddle point approximation of propagators in higher order perturbation calculation. This scheme is applied to a general expression for one-loop scalar functions, and thereafter used to calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron. The scheme is shown to be increasingly precise as the number of propagators increase, spanning a precision of 0.72
The aim of the study was to examine the relation between self-esteem and peer social status. A second aim was to investigate relations between peer descriptions and self-rated descriptions.

China’s economy has developed rapidly since the introduction of market reforms in 1978. In parallel came the reforms within the financial sector and the most of financial intermediation between savings and investment has been channelled through the banking sector. Thus far studies on the finance-growth nexus in China have focused on the financial sector as a whole. This thesis aims to determine th
“Pattern beings” deals with decoration, ornaments and patterns as omnipresent beings around us. Despite the fact that modernism tried to exclude decoration from our existence (headed by Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime essay), I was brought to this topic by repeated tendencies to decorate and adorn objects for daily use. “Pattern beings” is also about searching for relations between the object, mat
