This paper first measures the energy efficiency of 28 provinces from 2001-2009 with DEA model. Different from previous studies that include labor, capital and energy consumption as input indicators, GDP as the only desirable output, this paper also models the undesirable output by introducing environmental pollution index. The result shows that eastern area has highest energy efficiency while the
This thesis deals with regional convergence and the spatial dynamics of regional incomes in the enlarged EU.

In Sweden there has recently been a change in the code from the former BFS2010:2 BKR 13 to Eurocode 5. This shift has led to changes when calculating the design capacity for all materials including wood. One of the parameters that were changed was the strength of wood perpendicular to the grain. The characteristic value required was decreased from 8 MPa to 2.7 MPa which have a relativity large imp
Employee engagement has become more of an important issue for nonprofit organizations as they have to maintain an unprofitable social mission with often stringent resources. This study problematizes that most research about employee engagement is from a managerial approach, while research from the “communication constitutes organization” (CCO) perspective recognizes the close link between communic

As policy rates decrease to near zero or even negative levels for prolonged periods of time, the risk premium on financial markets as well as the cost of debt is altered. This thesis examines how equity valuations o
This thesis establishes an understanding of violence as discourse in the setting of Turkish prisons, during the death fast in the early 2000s. It uncovers discourses embedded in the acts of torture, hunger striking and force-feeding, each able to produce certain kinds of subjects. Investigating the interplay between power logics that underpin these violent practices, the thesis contests the idea o
To roll its dung-ball along straight paths across the African Savanna, the ball-rolling dung-beetle Kheper lamarcki (Mac Leay, 1821) utilizes a broad repertoire of celestial compass cues. These include the position of the sun and the polarization pattern that forms around it. It is hypothesized that a celestial snapshot of these cues needs to be stored in order to support orientation. However, it
