Among all immigration categories, the proportion of Chinese new immigrants in Nordic society is increasing, and their social ties and embeddedness are also receiving more attention. However, there is still a relative lack of qualitative research on the tie construction and embeddedness paths of Chinese immigrants. To fill this research gap, this thesis aims to investigate how the first generation

Background: In todayʼs fast moving world, the communication of science and technology is playing an increasingly important role for the relation between science and the public. Both journalists and researchers have their own agenda when communicating as public interest, corporate science and the competition for funding increases. At the same time, the conditions on which stories about science can

Popular Abstract in English Over the last 30 years, the implementation of accrual accounting in public sector settings has been fundamental to public sector accounting policy development. The move from cash accounting to accrual accounting highlights the importance of understanding accounting choice, compliance and auditing in municipal organisations. This thesis is a quantitative study of account

The study deals with the issue of how to understand and assess modern architecture in a non-Western context. Is there a non-Western modern architecture in its own right and with meanings connected to the local context or is it mere copy of Western modern architecture? At the primary level the study discusses the meanings and directions of contemporary architecture in a modernising society such as

Cystatin C variants with Arg8, Leu9 and/or Val10 replaced by Gly residues were produced by site-directed mutagenesis and E. coli expression. Their interactions with the target proteases, cathepsin B, L, H and S, were studied in vitro in order to provide basic structure-function information of use in the design of specific inhibitors for therapeutic use. Val10 was shown to be the most contributing

Affordability is often cited as a beneficial aspect of co-housing; however, the specific factors that contribute to its affordability and the theoretical understanding of this phenomenon have received limited attention in research. Against the backdrop of the ongoing affordable housing crisis, this study seeks to investigate the circumstances under which co-housing holds the potential for affordab

This thesis presents the results of the author's research activity to develop a time-space accurate flow-solver for Large Eddy Simulations (LES), based on the Multidimensional Residual Distribution approach. The aim of this work is the attempt to develop a compact high-order algorithm which includes multidimensional flow physics, in hope of creating a better algorithm for LES of turbulent compress

The thesis provides an overview of the relationship between tax treaties and domestic law and issues that arise if a contracting state uses domestic anti-avoidance rules to prevent the improper use of a tax treaty. Improper use of a tax treaty is an issue addressed in the BEPS Action 6 report. The suggestion is to include a limitation-on-benefits clause in the OECD Model Convention, a principal pu
