Möjligheter och problem för en cross-borderregion – En fallstudie av Greater Copenhagen and Skåne Committee

Silic, Tea, Stigertsson, Alexander January 2016 (has links)
Regional planning has become an important part of today’s politics. As a result of the ongoing globalization municipalties and cities now have to form partnerships accross borders to be able to compete for resources, residents and businesses establishments. Oresund collaboration was initiated when Denmark and Sweden formed The Oresund Committee, which today is called Greater Copenhagen and Skane Committee. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to investigate what the cooperation actually means to three selected municipalties in the region, how the region is perceived by media and how it is portrayed in planning documents. This has been done through a case study.Since the region is a cross-border region it struggles with problems that a region located in one country does not. The biggest issue that we have identified has to do with different laws and economic systems that exists within the region. This has affected the many residents living in Oresund, especially those who travel across the border on a daily basis. Another problem that has arisen concerns the undefined identity that is created by politicians and authorities, which becomes a problem when the citizens do not perceive themselves as a part of the mutual region. Furthermore we have identified an issue that affects the matter of democracy and the recently established border controls. This issue has become apparent due to low priority from the government and the politicians of the capital of Sweden. There are elements that demonstrate that some people consider Stockholm to be the most important actor for Sweden’s future growth, which leads to unequal distribution of power. This brings us to the final problem, dealing with the decision to impose border controls between Sweden and Denmark. The border controls have proven to be very costly for the society and for the travellers who lose a lot of time because of the inflexibility of the way the border controls are carried out. In the final section of this bachelor thesis we discuss what needs to be accomplished to be able to create a better future for Greater Copenhagen and Skane Committee.

Ap?s quinze anos, o envolvimento dos atores locais nos projetos da Nova Agenda e o cumprimento de seus acordos e frameworks foram extremamente baixos. Se a Nova Agenda deve ser considerada uma resposta ?s demandas locais, por que houve baixos envolvimento e conformidade dos atores locais com seus projetos e acordos? Para responder a essa pergunta, esta tese extrai das teorias das Rela??es Internacionais uma abordagem plural, reflexiva e construtivista que permite o emprego de ?percep??o? como vari?vel anal?tica relevante. O uso de entrevistas e a aplica??o de pesquisa eletr?nica s?o as principais fontes prim?rias. Pesquisas bibliogr?ficas e estat?sticas oficiais s?o aplicadas na elabora??o de dados contextuais. A an?lise hist?rica ? empregada para compreender a rela??o entre atores estatais e n?o estatais na constru??o social da Rtbu. Esta tese conclui que os problemas de cumprimento e engajamento t?m pouco a ver com uma cultura fronteiri?a de informalidade e ilegalidade. Est?o mais relacionados com a defici?ncia da Nova Agenda e a perpetua??o da ignor?ncia em rela??o ? realidade social da Rtbu e ?s demandas dos atores locais. As quest?es de engajamento e conformidade dos atores locais com a Nova Agenda est?o intimamente ligadas ? insatisfat?ria oferta estatal de institucionalidade capaz de transformar a Rtbu em um espa?o legal e normativo em que a regi?o pudesse implementar, de forma aut?noma, estrat?gias de desenvolvimento local para as suas popula??es transfronteiri?as. Essa institucionalidade poderia mudar a maneira como os atores formais e informais se relacionam. Al?m disso, o modus agendi trans-local, profundamente enraizado na regi?o, ? suscept?vel tanto de ser causa para a resist?ncia a qualquer projeto que tente controla-lo ou alter?-lo, quanto de servir como base para novos regimes de coopera??o. / This thesis identifies local actors? perceptions on the operationalization of the New Agenda for Cooperation and Border Development (New Agenda) in the Brazilian- Uruguayan cross-border region (Bucbr), emphasizing the relationship between formal (state) and informal (non-state) actors and processes. After fifteen years, local actors? engagement in New Agenda?s projects, and compliance with its agreements and frameworks were extremely low. If the New Agenda should be considered a response to local demands, why was/is there such low engagement and compliance of local actors with its projects and agreements? To answer this question, this thesis draws from International Relations theories a plural, reflectivist and constructivist approach that enables the employment of ?perception? as a relevant analytical variable. The use of interviews and the application of an electronic survey are the main primary sources. Bibliographical research and official statistics are applied for contextual data. Historical analysis is employed for comprehending the relationship between state and non-state actors in the social construction of the Bucbr. This thesis finds that compliance and engagement have little to do with a border culture of informality and illegality. They are related more to a New Agenda?s deficient institutionality and the perpetuation of ignorance toward the social reality of the Bucbr and the demands of local actors. The issues of engagement and compliance of local actors with the New Agenda is intimately linked with the unsatisfactory state offer of institutionality capable to turn the Bucbr into a legal and normative space in which the region could implement, autonomously, local development strategies for its cross-border populations. Such an institutionality would potentially change the way formal and informal actors relate. Moreover, the deeply rooted trans-local modus agendi of the region is likely to be either cause for resistance of any project that attempts to control or change it or the basis of novel cooperative regimes. / Cette th?se identifie les perceptions des acteurs locaux sur la mise en ?uvre du Nouveau programme de coop?ration et de d?veloppement frontalier (NPCDF) dans la r?gion frontali?re du Br?sil-Uruguay (Rfbu), soulignant la relation entre les acteurs et les processus formels (?tat) et informel (non ?tatique). Apr?s quinze ans, l?engagement des acteurs locaux envers des projets du NPCDF et la conformit? aux accords et cadres ont ?t? extr?mement faibles. Si le NPCDF doit ?tre consid?r? comme une r?ponse aux demandes locales, pourquoi y a-t-il eu peu de participation et de conformit? des acteurs locaux ? ses projets et accords ? Pour r?pondre ? cette question, cette th?se extrait dans les th?ories des relations internationales une approche pluriel, r?flexive et constructiviste qui permet l'utilisation de la ? perception ? comme une variable d'analyse pertinente. L'utilisation d'interviews et l'application d'un questionnaire ?lectronique sont les principales sources primaires. La recherche bibliographique et les statistiques officielles sont appliqu?es ? la pr?paration des donn?es contextuelles. L'analyse historique est utilis?e pour comprendre la relation entre les acteurs ?tatiques et non ?tatiques dans la construction sociale de la Rfbu. Cette th?se conclut que les probl?mes de conformit? et d'engagement ont peu ? voir avec une culture frontali?re d'informalit? et d'ill?galit?. Ils sont davantage li?s ? la d?ficience du NPCDF et ? la perp?tuation de l'ignorance par rapport ? la r?alit? sociale de la Rfbu et aux exigences des acteurs locaux. L'engagement et la conformit? des acteurs locaux au NPCDF sont ?troitement li?s ? l?insatisfaisante fourniture des institutions capables de transformer la Rfbu dans un espace juridique et normatif dans lequel la r?gion pourrait mettre en ?uvre, de mani?re autonome, les strat?gies de d?veloppement local pour leurs populations transfrontali?res. Cette institutionnalit? pourrait changer la fa?on dont les acteurs formels et informels interagissent. En outre, le modus agendi trans-local, qui est profond?ment enracin? dans la r?gion, est susceptible d'?tre une cause de r?sistance ? tout projet qui tente de le contr?ler ou de le modifier, ou de servir de base ? de nouveaux programmes de coop?ration.

The objective of the research is to analyze how the Brazilian public policies developed in the Transboundary Region of the Twin Cities were perceived by the three cities and provided the opportunity to form an integrated development project. During the cited period, Brazilian government implemented relevant public policies for border areas, some of them carried out in the region under study. Concerning to Brazilian side, the research data indicate that, although those policies have occurred during a considerable socioeconomic development period of Foz do Iguaçu city, there is no sufficient evidence to considerate such policies as a result of their implementation. Moreover, there is a lack of statistical data related to the other cities involved in the study to undertake a comparative analysis. It can be said that there is an effective work of the economic and social developmental councils of each city, in an attempt to consolidate an integrated development Project. However, the results obtained until now are poor and not so relevant and the reflexes of Brazilian public policies have not been enough yet to affirm that they contribute significantly for the socioeconomic development of Ciudad del Este and Puerto Iguazú. On the other hand, the data point out that Itaipu Technological Park (PTI) is one of the main developmental agents in the regionand that local governance can make a significant contribution to promoting joint actions between the three cities. / A Região Transfronteiriça das Cidades Gêmeas consiste nas áreas localizadas ao longo da linha que separa os territórios de Foz do Iguaçu no Brasil, Puerto Iguazú na Argentina e de Ciudad del Este no Paraguai, sendo um local de grande fluxo comercial e grande potencial turístico. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar o quanto as políticas públicas brasileiras desenvolvidas na Região Transfronteiriça das Cidades Gêmeas foram percebidas pelas três cidades e oportunizaram a formação de um projeto integrado de desenvolvimento. Neste período o governo brasileiro implantou importantes políticas públicas para a faixa de fronteira, sendo que algumas dessas políticas foram realizadas na região em estudo. Os dados da pesquisa indicam que embora tenha ocorrido no período desenvolvimento socioeconômico em Foz do Iguaçu, não há evidências que esse desenvolvimento resultou apenas do papel dessas políticas e que nas outras duas cidades a falta de dados estatísticos impossibilita uma análise comparativa. Na região há um trabalho efetivo dos conselhos de desenvolvimento econômico e social de cada cidade na tentativa de consolidar um projeto de desenvolvimento integrado, porém, os resultados obtidos ainda são pífios e os reflexos das políticas públicas brasileiras ainda não foram suficientes para contribuir de forma significativa para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico de Ciudad del Este e de Puerto Iguazú. A pesquisa indica que o Parque Tecnológico Itaipu (PTI) é um dos principais agentes de desenvolvimento na região e que a governança local pode contribuir de forma significativa para promover ações conjuntas entre as três cidades.

Biologization, Nanotechnology, Simulation: Proceedings of the 1st Joint PhD Conference on Material Science:: from 27.6.-1.7.2022 in Dresden/ Germany and Usti/Česká republika

Bergmann, Ute, König, Theresa 02 December 2022 (has links)
Materials scientists from Ústí nad Labem and Dresden met in June of 2022 for the first joint PhD Conference on Material Science, with the special focus on biologization, nanotechnology and simulation. The conference aimed to encourage interdisciplinary exchange between Čzech and German research institutes and promote transnational cooperation on an international level along the Saxon- Čzech border. Due to the restrictions caused by the corona pandemic, several attempts were necessary before the conference, which was first planned in 2020, could finally take place for the first time in 2022. The conference could take place in presence, which was seen as a big plus by all participants, especially as it was the first meeting in this German - Čzech context for most of the participants. The attending scientists (about 60) met at the Institute of Material Science of TU Dresden in Germany for the first half of the week before the conference moved to the faculties of Science and Environment of the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University UJEP in Ústí nad Labem in Čzechia. The organized activities ranged from scientific presentations of current PhD projects and research topics, lab tours in the participating institutions, come-together events such as a guided tour at the dye collection of the TU Dresden and a hiking trip to Bohemian Switzerland. The conference was funded by INTERREG VA Saxony - Čzech Republic - a cooperation programme of the Elbe/Labe region. All participants - PhD students, scientists and staff members of the participating institutions - enjoyed this opportunity to build individual and new contacts, exchange information on current research topics and methods, find starting points for future collaborations between the different research areas and institutions and also discuss the similarities and differences between the German and Čzech research landscape. The purpose of this brochure is to present the institutions with their special topics and laboratories and to present current research topics - on the base of the presented PhD projects.:1 Introduction 2 1.1 Committees 5 2 Presentation of the participating institutes and chairs 5 2.1 Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem 6 2.1.1 Faculty of Science 6 2.1.2 Faculty of Environment 12 2.2 Technische Universität Dresden 17 2.2.1 Institute of Material Science 17 2.3 Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS 19 2.3.1 Department Bio- and Nanotechnology at IKTS 19 2.4 Institute for Complex Materials, Leibniz-IFW Dresden 21 2.5 TRANS³Net 22 3 Presentation of the PhD topics 23 3.1 Topic: BIOLOGIZATION 23 3.1.1 Ludovico Andrea Alberta: Exploring the effect of Cu additions on the mechanical behaviour of β-TiNb biomaterials 23 3.1.2 Franziska Alt: Formation of a microenvironment for directed differentiation of stem cells in a perfusion bioreactor 25 3.1.3 Dmitry Belyaev: Circular microfluidic systems for electro-chemical continuous monitoring of bio-chemicals in emulsion droplets 27 3.1.4 Constantin Ißleib: Dynamic osteoimmunological crosstalk in a bone replacement context 28 3.1.5 Adela Jagerová: Surface Modification by High-Energy Heavy-Ion Irradiation in Various Crystalline ZnO Facets 29 3.1.6 Nils Kaube: Bioinspired development of artificial enamel via in-situ nano-mineralization 30 3.1.7 Michaela Kocholata: Isolation and characterization of plant derived nanovesicles 30 3.1.8 Zuzana Nejedlá: Dendrimers as Drug Delivery System 31 3.1.9 Jacub Perner: Effect of cold plasma treatment of Poppy and Proso Millet seeds in plasma downer 32 3.1.10 Marina Roshchina: Development of new bacteria-killing coatings on beta-Ti-Nb alloy based on functional oxide nanotubular (ONT) layers 33 3.1.11 Muhammad Saqib: Algorithms and fluid-dynamic experimental platform for in vitro degradation studies of implant materials 34 3.1.12 Jacub Tolasz: Interaction of pollutants on nanoceria 35 3.1.13 Zuzana Žmudová: 3D spheroid culture for in vitro testing of nanoparticles 35 3.2 Topic: METROLOGY 37 3.2.1 Katrien Boonen: The potential of dendrochemistry and dendroecology in pollution research 37 3.2.2 Ivan Lopez Carasco: Development of immobilization protocols for Tro6 and Tro4 aptamers to be used in electrochemical biosensor 38 3.2.3 Jacub Hoskovec: Functionalized electrospun materials for selectvie capture of selected gases 39 3.2.4 Dominic Pilnaj: Applications of gas sensors for air-quality monitoring and identification of volatile organic compounds by GC-HRMS 39 3.2.5 Michaela Průšová: Prostat, Glioblastoma and Mammary carcinoma cells derived exosomes: Their isolation, characterization and loading with doxorubicin 40 3.2.6 Kateřina Přibylová: Preparation of nanostructured surfaces for CO2 Detection, Capture and Utilization 41 3.2.7 Michal Syrový: Chemical modification of PAN – based nanofibrous membranes prepared by electrospinning and their properties for CO2 capture potential 42 3.3 Topic: GEOLOGICAL/MATERIALS 43 3.3.1 Sabine Apelt: Using biomimicry to design anti-ice surfaces for air-water heat pumps 43 3.3.2 Jan Dočkal: Molecular dynamics of interfacial solution structure of alkali-halide electrolytes at graphens electrodes 47 3.3.3 Tereza Dušková: Metal complexes with polyfluorinated NHCs 48 3.3.4 Kristína Fiantoková: Obtaining of the active mass from the spent Li-Ion batteries 48 3.3.5 Stephanie Ihmann: Engineering of bio-based Building and Construction Materials 49 3.3.6 Sara Jalali: Degradable bone substitute materials with load-bearing properties - Fiber-strengthened silica 50 3.3.7 Pavel Kaule: Preparation of heteroborane derivatives for thin film deposition by the covalent bond formation 53 3.3.8 M.
