The theory of the Investment Development Path (IDP) by John H. Dunning suggests that as a country develops, its composition of inward and outward foreign direct investment change both regarding to quantity and type of investment. The theory consists of 5 stages a country passes as its OLI-advantages develop. In this paper we have applied the theory of the IDP on the case of Brazil in order to eval

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. CenCIP-forskare medverkar i den fjärde upplagan av en väl mottagen sommarkurs i Venedig med fokus på kritiska infrastrukturers resiliens. Årets upplaga av sommarkursen VIU-Critical Infrastructure Resilience är virtuell med anledning av den pågende corana-pandemin. Kursen går den 7 – 25 september och där i år är det

Personlig integritet är ett begrepp som har fått en allt viktigare innebörd i arbetslivet de senaste åren. Frågan om drogtesters plats i arbetslivet är en av de mest framträdande frågorna, då det av många anses vara en kränkning av den personliga integriteten. Det är därför av stor vikt att bedöma när och för vilka syften ett drogtest kan anses vara befogat. Det uppstår därmed en situation där arb

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kampanjen mot kung Leopold av Belgiens mandat över kolonin Kongo. Genom att undersöka Edmund D. Morels argumentation i boken Red Rubber försöker jag visa på hur författaren valt att lägga upp sin argumentation, vilket gjordes genom en retorikanalys. Denna retorikanalys utgick från Thomas Laqueurs teori om en språklig förändring i beskrivningen av kroppen,

Humanekologiska avdelningenKenneth Hermele      "Land Matters. Agrofuels, Unequal Exchange, and Appropriation of Ecological Space"Presentation: Defence date: 22nd September 2012. As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century whe

Popular Abstract in English In the age where there is a great demand of energy, raise in the prices of fossil fuels and increase of environmental concerns because of the greenhouse gas emissions, biogas production through anaerobic digestion, of different organic materials, provides a full or partial solution. There is a large number of cheap substrates as organic waste materials that can be utiliThe anaerobic digestion process results in the production of biogas from a large diversity of organic residues, which can be used as an alternate source of energy generation and for waste management. However, the biogas production technology is not exploited efficiently due to the characteristics of raw materials, poor methane yields, process instability, limited raw materials and lack of knowledg

Popular Abstract in English The potential of coconut proteins as food ingredients was studied with the aim of evaluating how plant proteins, in particular those from coconut, could find industrial applications and compete with proteins of animal origin based on meat, fish, milk or eggs. Three research directions were chosen for investigation, to evaluate how coconut proteins would perform in each At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

Climate change increases the need for climate-adapted cities. In order to sustainably manage climate risks such as increased precipitation and temperatures, alternative solutions are required. Including nature-based solutions into urban planning can help mitigate these risks. Nature-based solutions are supported or inspired by nature and aim to solve problems related to climate change. The purpose

In Lund city center there are many buildings classed as cultural heritage. In Maria Magle, which is one of the oldest block in the city, the Salvation Army build their head quarter in Lund 1899. In recent time the Salvation Army sold their building and it took a new shape and form as a concert hall and is now called Magle Concert Hall. The house is owned and managed by Lund Student Singers, but it

In this study, the results from simulations of two sets of a 1/2 scale ISO room (ISO 9705) experiments are presented. In the experiments, heptane in a tray was burned in the middle of the room. Five models with various levels of complexity and geometric detail are used. The comparisons between simulations and experiments show that the fourth model provides the most accurate results with deviation

Popular Abstract in English Synthetic chemicals are the basis of the modern civilisation. Nowadays, they have a bad reputation, but it is only due to them that we are able to live healthier, longer, receive improving medical treatments, use the comforts of modern technologies and not die of thirst and starvation, despite the immense population growth. The main task of organic synthesis is to transThe ligand-directed C—H activation relies on a coordinating donor atom being in proximity to the C—H bond activated. Cyclometallation of 2-(1-naphthyl)-pyridine – a substrate containing both γ- and δ-positions in proximity to the directing nitrogen atom – was studied. Cycloruthenation and cyclopalladation result in γ-substitution and formation of the corresponding 5-membered metallacycles, which i

The paper focuses on three key factors in WTI crude oil futures market: Convenience yield, inventory level and price volatility. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the relation between those three key factors and analyze how those key factors will affect the market trading behaviors. Market trading behaviors could be measured from various aspects though, our paper will use open intere
