The long-term fates of duplicate genes are well studied both empirically and theoretically, but how the short-term evolution of duplicate genes contributes to phenotypic variation is less well known. Here, we have studied the genetic basis of flowering tithe variation in the disomic tetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris. We sequenced four duplicate candidate genes for flowering time and 10 background

A number of studies have analysed how multinational enterprises (MNEs) develop appropriate strategies for managing the institutionally different contexts of various markets. However, we still know rather little about how MNEs manage different institutional pressures when they operate in emerging markets. These markets have a higher level of uncertainty as their values and structures undergo change

Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, one of the enzymes required for the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate. The gene for this enzyme, NAGLU, recently was isolated, and several mutations were characterized. We have identified, in amplified exons from nine fibroblast cell lines der

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of brand contract in B2B from two perspectives: the theological and pragmatic.Design/methodology/approach – A review of the branding literature challenges the dominant notion of the brand covenant as a firm driven, unilateral promise, referred to as a theological contract. The study adds to this the pragmatic perspective of a social cont

Det teoretiska ramverket för studie var GLOBE-studien, Hofstedes fyra dimensioner och Sveningssons och Alvessons förhållningssätt till ledarskap. Syftet var att undersöka den personliga upplevelsen hos Svenska ledare. Fokus var på hur kulturella faktorer påverkade ledarskapet när ledarna arbetade med ett utländskt team. Sex svenska ledare som hade arbetat med utländska team i USA, Indien, TysklandThe theoretical framework of the present study was the GLOBE study, Hofstede’s four dimensions and Sveningsson’s and Alvesson’s approach to leadership. The purpose was to examine the personal experience of Swedish leaders. The focus was on the influence of cultural factors on the leadership when the leaders worked with a foreign team. Six Swedish leaders who had been working with foreign teams in

Global climate policy negotiations have become increasingly complicated with the rise of the socalled emerging powers as they have seen both great economic growth and increased emissions of greenhouse gasses – yet they continue to hold a developing country, or non-Annex I, status under the UNFCCC, which determines their responsibilities for addressing the climate crisis. This thesis examines the

The political climate in the Arctic is changing in tandem with the world’s climate. As the ice thaws and leaves a previously frozen sea open, it likewise opens up for new opportunities as estimated abundances of resources become reachable for the first time. The diminishing ice also opens up new water ways for shipping routes and tourism, providing new economic opportunities. This has piqued the i

Foregin Direct Investment, FDI is often seen to be an important factor to economic growth across the globe. It gives Multinational Enterprises the opportunity to come closer to their customers, but also a chance to achieve economies of scale. In the same way that FDI is considered to benefit a company, economists are also discussing the impact that it brings to the local market. Investments in Chi

Because of the versatility of technological influence and the rapid development of digitalization, interactive social media, such as Tik Tok and Douyin, have brought more consumption possibilities to the market. These social media are merging to innovate some new consumption behaviors by using interactive content to save costs and give users more value. Tik Tok and Douyin also satisfy user-centric

Antidumping measures imposed by a member of the World Trade Organization are authorized under the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (the AD Agreement). The AD Agreement establishes substantive requirements that must be satisfied in order to impose an antidumping measure. The legal basis for antidumping in primary EC law is Article 133 of t

This paper selected two cities in Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou and Yiwu to take a look at the relations between the local government and their private sector since the adoption of the reform and opening policy in the late 1970s, from the angle of the functional transition of the local government's contribution to the development of the private sector. The purpose of this paper was to, through th
