Since the strategy of “Going Global” to be implemented, the Chinese OFDI has been increased rapidly. For a long time, governments in developed countries as well as some scholars hold the different attitudes that OFDI will crowd out Chinese domestic 5 investment. In this study, we empirically analyze this relationship between OFDI and domestic investment in China based on the data from 1986 to 2010
The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge in practice of value co‐creation by providing information on how co-creation is manifested in C-‐G lookbook. This thesis employs a qualitative strategy with an inductive approach, and data were collected through virtual observation. Theoretical framework is divided into three different parts, in which various theories within s
In this chapter, the author synthesises insights from across the book to demonstrate how myths about sustainable consumption persist and hinder systemic change. The chapter identifies five mechanisms that explain their persistence: cultural reinforcement, anchoring in daily practices, institutional embedding, psychological appeal and political function. These mechanisms reveal why myths remain inf
Agricultural intensification is necessary in Tanzania to meet the demands of a rapid growing population, and to avoid dependence on agricultural imports. An overwhelming share of the Tanzanian population is young, and the issue of employment among youth is increasingly debated. Agriculture is perceived to play a key role in creating employment opportunities in Sub-Sahara African as urban employmen
The city of Christchurch, New Zealand, incurred significant damage due to a series of earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. The city had, by the late 2010s, regained economic and social normalcy after a sustained period of rebuilding and economic recovery. Through the concerted rebuilding effort, a modern central business district (CBD) with redesigned infrastructure and amenities was developed. The Chris
OBJECTIVES: To compare 6 minute walking distance (6MWD) in a population-based osteoarthritis (OA) cohort with matched peers from the general population, and to explore the associations between walking ability and CVD risk (arterial stiffness) in the OA cohort.DESIGN: This cross-sectional study included participants (40-80 years) who self-reported OA (n=500) in a population-based study and age- and
OBJECTIVE: To examine how intersections of multiple sociodemographic variables explain the individual heterogeneity in risk of being diagnosed with any of following chronic rheumatic diseases (CRDs): osteoarthritis (OA), gout, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or spondyloarthritis (SpA).METHODS: We identified people aged 40-65 years residing in Skåne, Sweden, by 31st December 2013 and having done so from
Road Safety Audits (RSA) and Road Safety Inspections (RSI) are effective means of Road Infrastructure Safety Management. They are preventive tools, consisting of systematic, safety assessments, carried out by trained, independent safety expert teams, resulting in a formal report on detected road hazards and safety issues, requiring a formal response by the relevant road authority. Yet, current reg
“The Covid 19 pandemic took the meetings industry from top to bottom in one move”. These were the introducing words from the CEO of a large Swedish network of meetings firms, in their annual report for 2020. In the beginning of that year, one of the most challenging crises in the history of the meetings organizations emerged. Now, two years on the pandemic has changed the conditions for the entire
Detta dokument rapporterar resultaten av projektet ”Storskalig integration av bio-elektro-jet-bränsleproduktion vid kraftvärmeverk i Östersund,Sverige”. BEJF är ett elektrobränsle som produceras i en syntesprocess där biogen koldioxid (CO2) är den huvudsakliga kolkällan och vätgas från elektrolysav vatten med förnybar el är den huvudsakliga energikällan. Projektet är en genomförbarhetsstudie för eThis document reports the findings of the project “Large scale bio electro jet fuel production integration at CHP-plant in Östersund, Sweden”. BEJF is an electrofuel produced in a synthesis process where biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main carbon source and hydrogen from electrolysis of water using renewable electricity is the main energy source. The project is a feasibility study for a fact
Urban heat sources from urban infrastructure and buildings could meet ~10% of the European building heating demand. There is, however, limited information on how to use them. The EU project ReUseHeat has generated much of the existing knowledge on urban waste heat recovery implementation. Heat recovery from a data center, hospital and from water were demonstrated. Additionally, the project generat
High trust is a success factor for both societies and organizations. Policy decisions and public administration strategies during the corona pandemic raise a number of questions with regard to trust. To what degree have different decisions and pro-cesses been trust-based and how have these decisions affected outcomes? These questions are difficult to respond to, in particular since trust can emerg
We investigate how frontline employees manage their emotional experiences of organizational event stigma as an implication of organizational wrongdoing. Our research is based on a longitudinal case study of Danske Bank, which was involved in a money laundering scandal of historical magnitude. We evoke Goffman’s epistemological understanding of stigma as arising in social interactions in all aspect
The challenge of mitigating climate change is critical to desirable tourism transportation futures, although to date relatively little attention has been paid to this aspect of sustainable tourism. This introductory article to the special issues on ‘Desirable Tourism Transport Futures’ explores approaches to transitioning the tourism sector to a sustainable emissions path. It starts by describing
Contrary to the traditional understanding of place branding inspired by product, service and corporation branding, the present paper adopts place branding interdisciplinary literature in order to develop a conceptual framework that focuses on the constituting features of place brands as a form of public brands. The paper suggests the way place brands are constituted is via a co-branded complex and
The purpose of this article is to explore corporate brand identity and reputation, with the aim of integrating them into a single managerial framework. The Nobel Prize serves as an in-depth field-based case study, and is analysed using the Corporate Brand Identity and Reputation Matrix (CBIRM), introduced here for the first time. Eight key reputation elements adapted from the literature and enrich
In recent years, eco-certification has become an important market feature for aquaculture products, with several labels available for producers who want to signal sustainable or responsible production practices. In this study, the literature on the economic effects of eco-certification of aquaculture is reviewed to summarize the current state of knowledge and identify research gaps. The literature
Om sakerna på ditt skrivbord inte har tillverkats genom skärande bearbetning, så har definitivt verktyget som användes för att tillverka dem gjort det. Skärande bearbetning har en stor men ganska dold inverkan på ditt liv. Då den enda skärande bearbetning du kanske har upplevt är att göra en ljusstake i träslöjden i grundskolan. Svarvningen och fräsningen i denna avhandling rör ej ljusstakar i träIn an era where 3D printing and AI are at the forefront, turning, milling, and metal cutting might seem like niche research topics from the past. But metal cutting is all around you. If what you have lying on your desk was not machined, then the tools used to create it certainly were. Even 3D-printed or additively manufactured parts must be machined if a good surface quality is needed for an indus
