Following ‘Doi Moi’ (Renovation), which started in 1986, the former centrally planned economy in Vietnam is shifting to an economy where production is linked to market demand and consumption. As a result, the nation has been enjoying an unprecedentedly fast economic growth, especially in recent years: 8.4% in 2005 and 8.17% in 2006. The economic renovation also brought an expansion of the private sector, which consists mainly of small- and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs.

This thesis aimed to increase the basic mechanistic understanding of myocardial infarct healing and to develop novel approaches to prevent heart failure following myocardial infarction (MI). Different approaches have been tested to reduce myocardial injury in the acute phase of MI, leading to reduced myocardial infarct size and improved cardiac function. Exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, reduces infarct size by 40% in a pig model of acute MI, thereby boosting the potential of metabolic interventions in the treatment of acute MI.

China's achievements in its reform from a centrally planned economy toward a marketing economy during the last two decades are substantial. Although it still has a long way to go to reach its targeted aims, half of China's economy is now 'marketised, or is responsive to market forces (Lawrence, 1998). The influence of the transition on agricultural marketing is significant, particularly when the reforms were initiated by farmers and started in rural areas.

A linear accelerator (linac) is the most commonly used device for treatment of patients with cancer in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). The Linac delivers a high-energy ionizing radiation (photons or electrons) to the region of the patient's tumor. The absorption of radiation in the treated area damages the diseased cells. To minimize irradiation of healthy tissue beams should be shaped. Commonly, this is achieved by using a multi-leaf collimator (MLC).

Skogen har sedan årtusenden tillbaka nyttjats av människan för sitt leverne. Allteftersom möjligheten att äga egen skog och att skogens ekonomiska betydelse har ökat har värderingen av skog förändrats. Avkastningsberäkning har länge legat till grund för värdering av skog, men idag räcker inte detta för att uppskatta marknadsvärdet på skogsfastigheter. Det är tydligt att det är fler bakomliggande faktorer än den skogliga avkastningen som spelar roll för prisbildningen.

In the first chapter, I provide evidence that investment-specific technological change is a source of systematic risk. In contrast to neutral productivity shocks, the economy needs to invest to realize the benefits of innovations in investment technology. A positive shock to investment technology is followed by a reallocation of resources from consumption to investment, leading to a negative price of risk. A portfolio of stocks that produce investment goods minus stocks that produce consumption goods (IMC) proxies for the shock and is a priced risk factor.
