With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill became more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility can provide the operators with auxiliary requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is formulated for the optimal pla

Since 2016, seven countries have withdrawn its recognition of Taiwan which have left the contested state with only fifteen diplomatic allies. Consequently, this affects the democracy of 23 million people, and minimizes Taiwan’s ability and cooperation in the global world. The problem derives from when Tsai Ing-wen, the current president of Taiwan and the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Par

The Purpose of this study was to determine what affects, if any exist, crude oil and natural gas supply and demand has on the international relations of Northeast Asia. This was done by answering the research question: does the need to for energy security override the desire to maintain the status quo regarding national policy toward controversial issues facing Northeast Asia. The study uses the t

While previous research suggests that top managers’ long-term orientation is related to their strategic decision making processes, few studies have investigated this relationship in a Western cultural context. Therefor, the aim of the current thesis is to investigate the relationship between long-term orientation and strategic decision making processes, specifically, decision comprehensiveness, de

The European Union (EU) has been entrusted with rather weak powers as regards industrial policy. On top of this, its Member States are prevented from pursuing a national industrial policy with monetary elements as this may distort competition within the EU internal market. At the same time, European companies compete in the global market with state-supported companies from other economically stron

With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill has become more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility provides the operator with auxiliary options to satisfy customer requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is fo

As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. The development of climate m

The End of History was the title of Francis Fukuyama’s book (Fukuyama 1992), suggesting that with the demise of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe after the Berlin Wall, the consequence was that The Market had come out victorious after the Cold War, and now there was only one way ahead, and the savior capitalism would relentlessly lead to democracy. Now we know that this is not the c

This paper highlights, theoretically and empirically, how development and underdevelopment are closely linked by looking at the global food system, with a special emphasis on the meat-industrial complex. Conceptually, this thesis mobilizes Foster’s theory of metabolic rift, O’Connor’s theory of the second contradiction of capitalism, and Harvey’s “accumulation by dispossession” to account for the

Scholars of widely diverging persuasions have recognized the implications of the world constellation in which the discourse on foreign intervention with all its manifestations in a civil war has an explanatory value. How-ever, a number of long-standing theoretical, methodological and epistemological challenges still resist clearcut solution. This study analyzes the roles of the great powers and th
