This thesis aims to study the relation between fertility behavior and labor market in Japan. The slack youth employment market has been blamed for the continuously declining fertility rate. However, the linkage between labor market fluctuation and fertility behavior is empirically unclear. Based on the micro data compiled from Japanese Generally Social Survey, I apply discrete time hazard model an
With the rapid growth of Chinese economy, China has surpassed America and become the biggest automotive market. After Zhejiang Geely Holding Group acquired Volvo Car Corporation in 2010, China was targeted to be its future biggest market in both producing automobiles and sales around the world. The purpose of this study was to find out the potential market for Volvo Car Corporation in the east co
Emerging multiculturalism in China's metropolitan areas implies people's frequent engagement in intercultural contacts and, therefore, creates a need for a mutual acculturation between the migrants and the host society. This research aimed to contribute to the study of immigrant adjustment in China by exploring the patterns of dietary acculturation among Russian immigrants residing in Beij
The collective identity is under permanent negotiation. Due to the lack of incentive to offer public communication, the collective identity of Japanese bureaucrats; kanryo(官僚) has been constructed separately inside and outside of ministries. Firstly, I explore how the collective identity of kanryo has been constructed in two Japanese national newspapers. Also, the constructed identity of kanryo wi
This research aims to identify the extent to wgich concepts of childhood originated in the West influence the perceptions and representations of Burmese migrant children living in Thailand by non-governmental and community-based organizations working with these children. Theoretical foundation is built upon conceptions of childhood, agency and empowerment as well as on academic theories related to
Korean Wave is a new phenomenon which signifies the spread of Korean popular culture in East Asia with Japan as a centre.

It took until 1975 to become legal under all circumstances until pregnancy week eighteen. Even if abortion today has been long legal there still exists a stigma around it. My purpose with this study is to
Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig
Scientific summary Satellite imagery has been used to produce highly accurate land cover maps, even effectively discriminating between vegetation types. While land cover classification based on differences in pixel values in one or more spectral bands is an effective way of mapping large areas, the coarse resolution of freely available satellite images is not suitable for mapping urban environment
Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi
As China rises and the former glory of the U.S. hegemony slowly fades, the rest of the world is watching closely. Opinions and analyses on whether it will have a peaceful outcome or not are many and various.

Background Today many organizations convert from being a traditional functional organization to becoming more temporary project-based organizations in order to respond to the changing environment. As a result, project-based organizations have difficulties to learn from within the project and between projects which force project members to “reinvent the wheel” over and over again. If organizations
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna). Vid kollisionen dras sedimeRomeleåsen is the south-westernmost exposure of the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden. Fennoscandia forms a part of the East European Craton and was extended to the south-west during prolonged episodes of accretion during the period 1.95-1.55 Ga. Metamorphic reworking took at least place during the Hallandian/Danopolonian orogeny at 1.47-1.38 Ga and during the Sveconorwegian orogeny 1.10-0.92 Ga. Hig
The result of our project is an induction cooktop that utilizes temperature sensors along with an interface that provides new functionality when using different products on the stove. We also designed a kettle, a coffee maker and a waffle iron to visualize the concept. The motivation for our project came from the fact that many kitchens today are full of electric kitchen appliances, each with its
