Unrelated diversification in latecomer contexts—The emergence of the Chinese solar photovoltaics industry

New industries emerge in increasingly complex spatial patterns that challenge existing explanations of industrial path creation. In particular, the case of latecomer regions building up industries in fields that are unrelated to their previous industrial capabilities is not well understood in the literature. This paper aims to address this gap by expanding on an analytical framework that draws on

Are Capitalists Green? Firm Ownership and Provincial CO2 emissions in China

In China, a large private sector has evolved alongside a still sizeable state-owned sector that is subject to government control. Several studies have found that in this mixed economy, the private sector is economically more efficient than the state-owned sector. In this paper, we investigate whether private firms are also more carbon efficient than state-owned firms. Using a macroeconomic panel d

Congested curricula and incompatible goals: the curious absence of ICT from school-based learning in China

Worldwide, information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly in the sense of digital literacy, are increasingly considered as both inevitable and indispensable parts of the school curriculum. Also, international student assessment studies like PISA have on several occasions assessed computer and information literacy. Additionally, classrooms, teaching and learning, as well as school a

Modelling studies of HOMs and their contributions to new particle formation and growth : Comparison of boreal forest in Finland and a polluted environment in China

Highly oxygenated multifunctional compounds (HOMs) play a key role in new particle formation (NPF), but their quantitative roles in different environments of the globe have not been well studied yet. Frequent NPF events were observed at two flagship stations under different environmental conditions, i.e. a remote boreal forest site (SMEAR II) in Finland and a suburban site (SORPES) in polluted eas

The 920–900 Ma Bahia-Gangila LIP of the São Francisco and Congo cratons and link with Dashigou-Chulan LIP of North China craton : New insights from U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry

A widespread mafic sill and dyke unit (the Pedro Lessa suite) adjacent to the southeastern São Francisco (SF) craton (eastern South America) is dated as 940 ± 42 Ma, 912 ± 17 Ma, and 986 ± 64 Ma (based on combined ID-TIMS and LA-ICPMS analyses on baddeleyite grains) on the Santa Maria de Itabira gabbroic intrusion. These ages suggest membership in the previously defined ca. 920–900 Ma Large Igneou

The influence of environmental factors on clinical pathological changes of patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy from different areas of China

RESULTS: It was shown that the frequency of the patients with no mucosal infection in the urinary tract was higher in the Guangzhou group, while the frequencies of upper respiratory tract and biliary infections were lower when compared with those in the Xi'an group. Serum uric acid, alexin C3, creatinine and serum cholesterol concentrations were increased in the Guangzhou group, while triglyceride

U-Pb baddeleyite dating of the Proterozoic Pará de Minas dyke swarm in the São Francisco craton (Brazil) – implications for tectonic correlation with the Siberian, Congo and North China cratons

U–Pb baddeleyite ages demonstrate the presence of three dyke generations within the NW-trending Pará de Minas swarm (São Francisco craton, South America), dated at ca. 1795 Ma (1798 ± 4, 1791 ± 7 and 1793 ± 18 Ma), ca. 1710 Ma (1702 ± 13 and 1717 ± 11 Ma) and 766 ± 36 Ma. These ages have implications for the São Francisco-Congo (SF-Congo) craton within the Rodinia and Columbia supercontinent confi
