This paper attempts to measure the size of South–South foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing East Asia and the trends in it, the characteristics of the investing countries, and the investments themselves. It also summarizes the findings of studies in individual countries of the effects of these investments. The studies of individual countries will be used to try to find some consensus on d

This thesis describes studies regarding the design, synthesis, and analysis of new types of electro-responsive [8]annulene-based switches.A starting material for the targeted material is dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene (dbCOT). The first part of the thesis describes an improved synthesis of this structure using a copper(I) catalyzed decarboxylative approach. Using this method, dbCOT was prepared in

PurposeWe describe the design and implementation of the Malmö Breast ImaginG (M-BIG) database, which will support research projects investigating various aspects of current and future breast cancer screening programs. Specifically, M-BIG will provide clinical data to: 1. investigate the effect of breast cancer screening on breast cancer prognosis and mortality; 2. develop and validate the us

Popular Abstract in Swedish Many of the energy needs in today’s modern society are fulfilled by sources based on fossil fuels, including non-domestic oil and coal. It is well known that the increase in CO2 emission is the result of human activities, mostly fossil fuel consumption. The use of such fuels is unsustainable and has led to the phenomena such as climate change, political instability in sThe gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,

The phenomenon of protein adsorption to solid surfaces affects the performance of many materials and processes, in areas ranging from medicine to biochemical engineering. Controlling protein adsorption, from solutions of single proteins as well as from more complex mixtures, requires an understanding of the mechanism(s) by which it occurs. This, in turn, entails detailed characterization of both t

Ecological drought is a complex process in terrestrial ecosystems where vegetation's eco-physiological functions are impaired due to water stress. However, there is currently a lack of long-term assessment of ecological drought from an eco-physiological perspective. In this study, the standardized ecological drought index (SESNDI) was developed using actual evaporation, root soil moisture, and ker

At first glance Austria and Sweden seem to be two very comparable European coun-tries. However, in regard of several innovation indexes Sweden scores significantly bet-ter. This thesis elaborates why Sweden achieves continuously better results than Austria and seeks for Swedish innovation advice for the state in the Alps. However, a compari-son of innovation indicators and a comparative case study

Quinones are essential components in most cell and organelle bioenergetic processes both for direct electron and/or proton transfer reactions but also as means to regulate various bioenergetic processes by sensing cell redox states. To understand how quinones interact with proteins, it is important to have tools for identifying and characterizing quinone binding sites. In this work three different

Gene fusions are neoplasia-associated mutations arising from structural chromosomal rearrangements. They have a strong impact on tumor development and constitute important diagnostic markers. Malignant soft tissue tumors (sarcomas) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with >50 distinct subtypes, each of which is rare. In addition, there is considerable morphologic overlap between sarcomas

This paper represents the opinion of a group of researchers and clinicians with an established interest in poststroke care and is based on the recognised need for long-term care following stroke, especially in view of the global increase of disability due to stroke. Among the more frequent long-term complications following stroke are spasticity-related disabilities. Although spasticity alone occur

Motivation: The most common approach to estimate microbial diversity is based on the analysis of DNA sequences of specific target genes including ribosomal genes. Commonly, the sequences are grouped into operational taxonomic units based on genetic distance (sequence similarity) instead of genetic change (patristic distance). This method may fail to adequately identify clusters of evolutionary rel

Oat is an excellent source of high-quality proteins. The protein content in cultivated oat is about 12%–15%. Oats with even higher protein contents would have great potential as a vegetative protein source. From a mutagenized oat population, 230 lines with seed protein levels of 15% or higher were identified from green house grown plants. Fifteen lines with protein levels ranging between 17 and 24

The rejection of forward jets originating from additional proton–proton interactions (pile-up) is crucial for a variety of physics analyses at the LHC, including Standard Model measurements and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The identification of such jets is challenging due to the lack of track and vertex information in the pseudorapidity range | η| > 2.5. This paper presents a n
