    Trends and drivers of Chinese outward foreign direct investments: a Hungarian perspective

    Full text link
    近年来,中国的公司在世界各地扩大其业务。包括欧洲联盟新成员国也不例外。本文研究中国对外直接投资的趋势和动力并特别分析中国在欧盟新成员国之一的匈牙利的投资。由于匈牙利经济对西欧国家具有的依存性以及在欧洲经济系统中的高嵌入性,本文探讨中国对匈牙利的海外直接投资,不仅仅从匈牙利本身出发,而是把它看成是中国公司对欧盟投资战略的一部分。 首先,本论文提出了一个简短的文献综述,然后分析中国对包括匈牙利投资在内的对外投资的理论依据。接下来分析中国在在世界各地海外直接投资的概况,第4章则研究中国对外投资趋势和动力以及在匈牙利投资的情况。 通过最近的趋势和宏观经济指标的分析,文章得出的结论是:中国对匈牙利投...Recent years have seen a boost in Chinese firms expanding their operations all around the world. The European Union, including its new member states, was no exception either. This paper focuses on the trends and drivers of Chinese investments in general and Chinese investments flowing to Hungary in particular Given the Hungarian economy’s dependence on the Western European countries and its high e...学位:教育学硕士院系专业:经济学院国际硕士_政治经济学学号:1522009115393

    Sélection d'un procédé de prétraitement en amont de marais filtrants aérés pour le traitement de lixiviats provenant d'un lieu d'enfouissement technique

    RÉSUMÉ: L'enfouissement des déchets est, encore aujourd'hui, la pratique la plus répandue pour la disposition des déchets au Québec. Au Québec, les lieux d'enfouissement techniques en exploitation représentent une capacité de 122M m3 de matières résiduelles. Les lieux d'enfouissements sont source de génération de lixiviat. Le lixiviat est l'eau de pluie qui percole sur les déchets et de charge en contaminants. Cette eau est collectée à la base du lieu d'enfouissement et nécessite un traitement avant qu'elle puisse être rejetée à l'environnement. Il existe plusieurs technologies de traitement pour le traitement du lixiviat. Il existe des traitements biologiques, des traitements physicochimiques, ainsi que d'autres traitements non conventionnels. Le lieu d'enfouissement de Sainte-Sophie produit environ 1000 m3/d de lixiviat. Le lieu possède un traitement en place qui est un réacteur biologique séquentiel (RBS) suivi d'un traitement d'enlèvement du zinc. Ces procédés permettent de traiter le lixiviat et de respecter les exigences de rejet, mais à un coût élevé de traitement. Notamment, le chauffage du lixiviat est requis en hiver afin d'assurer le bon fonctionnement du réacteur biologique. Les phytotechnologies peuvent être une solution pour remédier à cette problématique. ABSTRACT: Landfilling is still the most common waste disposal practice in Quebec. In Quebec, technical landfills in operation represent a capacity of 122M m3 of solid waste. Landfills are a source of leachate which is rainwater that percolates into the landfill and becomes loaded with contaminants through this process. The leachate is collected at the base of the landfill and requires treatment before it can be released to the environment. There are several leachate treatment technologies. Among these are biological, physicochemical and non-conventional treatments. The Sainte-Sophie landfill produces approximately 1000 m3/d of leachate. The site has an in-place treatment which consists of a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) followed by a zinc removal precipitation process. Leachate treatment is expensive notably due to heating that is required in winter to ensure the proper functioning of the biological reactor. Landfill leachate can be generated for several years after the use of the land for waste disposal. Phytotechnologies can be an attractive solution to these challenges

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
