Middle class is important for economic development and growth of a country. Nowadays middle class in asian countries like China, Vietnam or India is significantly growing. Middle class in China has started to develop after economic reforms, which were launched in 1980s. People belonging to middle class in China are concentrated in urban area. Originally it started to develop in the coastal part of the country. There is a trend to move also to the inner part of the country. The biggest potential of the middle class is boosting domestic consumption. On the other hand there are certain problems, which might lead to middle income trap. The main problems are low productivity, high disparity, pressures on environment or aging population. The government is making a lot of measures to solve this problém. Nevertheless these problems are long term and they must focus on them in the future too.

Since the beginning of the millennium, Southeast Asia has become one of the fastest growing regions in the world. After recovery from the slowdown caused by the Asian financial crisis, most of them achieved significant growth and Asian miracle was created. Thanks to the liberalization of trade, export supporting policies, cheap labour and foreign investment, many of the southeast Asian countries entered the middle income countries group, which the World Bank defines with the Gross National Income per capita in the range from 1 045 USD to 12 760 USD. However, some countries in Southeast Asia are experiencing economic slowdown now and some of them fell into so called middle income trap. It is an economic phenomenon, which describes the situation when the country is no longer able to use its comparative advantages in the form of labour intensive production and its economic growth stagnates. Such economies find themselves on the edge between poor countries with cheap labour and advanced economies with high income. The main goal of the diploma thesis is to examine the topic of middle-income trap on chosen economies of Southeast Asia - Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. The thesis is focused on the evaluation of their economic situation, the depth of the middle income trap and possible solutions for each of these countries.

The thesis is focused on issue of the middle income trap and its application on Chinese market. Thesis is divided into three parts. The first chapter deals with concept of "middle income trap" and defines its causes. The second chapter analyses current situation of Chinese economy, also selected problems and trends in economy whitch are related to middle income trap. The goal of the last part is to answer questions whether China is in the middle income trap or manage to escape.

Les raisons qui incitent les anciens belligérants à se réconcilier et à coopérer intéressent autant les praticiens que les théoriciens, elles sont cependant un sujet de débats controversés.Les études, peu nombreuses, menées sur les relations franco-algériennes, bien qu’elles soulignent l’importance de l’élément du passé dans l’évolution de ces relations depuis l’indépendance, elles n’identifient pas néanmoins son rôle en confrontation avec d’autres facteurs, car elles visent à atteindre d’autres objectifs.Cette présente thèse se veut alors une étude constructiviste du rôle du passé dans le processus de coopération et de réconciliation. Une approche globalisante qui n’exclue pas le rôle des facteurs objectifs ou personnels de l’éclosion du processus de coopération et de réconciliation, mais elle tend à les lier à une représentation de soi et à l’identification de l’autrui. Ces deux derniers éléments sont importants dans la définition de la relation à autrui et dans l’expression des relations belliqueuses ou coopératives. La reconnaissance est un moyen par lequel des rapports conflictuels peuvent se transformer en rapports plus coopératifs.Notre étude des relations extérieures franco-algériennes, montre que l’interaction antérieure de l’Algérie avec la France a généré une quête de reconnaissance. La représentation du passé inclue l’image d’une mémoire victimaire (torts infligés) et/ou d’une mémoire de vainqueur (gloires). En langage constructiviste, ceci indique une reconnaissance ou un déni de reconnaissance.Le déni de reconnaissance a incité l’Algérie à chercher un rapport d’égalité. Le succès de sa révolution d’indépendance lui a octroyé une identité de rôle (porte parole de Tiers-Monde). Ces deux éléments (la quête de l’égalité mais aussi l’affirmation de son identité de rôle) ont influencé le processus de coopération et de réconciliations entre la France et l’Algérie, notamment à l’ère de Boumediene (1965-1978). Bien que le rapprochement avec la France depuis l’arrivée d’Abdelaziz Bouteflika au pouvoir en 1999 a rendu la coopération inéluctable, néanmoins le processus de réconciliation a connu plusieurs reports, en raison de nombreux dénis de reconnaissance, tel que le vote d’une loi le 23 février 2005, au niveau de l’Assemblée française, qui insiste sur un certain « rôle positif » de la colonisation, suivi par d’autres dénis, lors de la présidence de Nicolas Sarkozy. Alors qu’à l’arrivée de l’élu socialiste sur la tête de l’Etat français, les choses ont changé progressivement vers l’établissement d’une réconciliation et de relations solides et durables. En concédant sur le plan de la mémoire, en reconnaissant les souffrances, les injustices et les torts, François Hollande veut donner aux relations franco-algériennes une nouvelle tournure, l’apaisement et la réconciliation / The reasons that lead the former belligerents to cooperate and achieve reconciliation remain a subject of a controversial debate. Both practitioners and theorists are interested in the question.The small number of studies conducted on the French-Algerian relations, although they highlighted the past as one of the important factors in the evolution of these relations since independence, they do not however measure its role in comparison with other factors, because they wanted to reach another objectives. The present thesis is therefore a constructivist study of the role of the past in the process of cooperation and reconciliation in comparison with other factors to demonstrate its right value. Past is generally presented as the memory of victimhood (wrongs) or memory of the winner (glories) or both. In constructivist language, it represents a denial or recognition.The constructivism is a global approach that does not exclude the influence of objective and personal factors in the process of cooperation and reconciliation, but it tends to associate those factors to self-representation and identification of others. These last two elements are important in defining the relationship to others and in the expression of hostile or cooperatives relationships. Recognition is a means by which conflicting relations may turn into ones more cooperatives.Our study of the French-Algerian relations demonstrates that the previous interaction between Algeria and France (colonization and Algerian war) has generated a quest for recognition. The denial of recognition in the past (victim), prompted Algeria to seek recognition of equality. Its image after the success of its revolution (winner) gave it a role identity recognized worldwide. These two elements (the quest for equality, and affirming its role identity), both aims in Algerian foreign policy, have influenced the process of cooperation and reconciliation between France and Algeria, mainly under Boumediene’s presidency (1965-1978). Although the rapprochement of Algeria with France since the coming to power of Abdelaziz Bouteflika in 1999 made the cooperation inevitable, despite the reconciliation process has known several postponements, due to many denials of recognition, such as the enactment of a law on 23 February 2005 at the French Assembly insisting on “a positive role” for the colonization, followed by other offenses and denials during the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy. Since the election of François Hollande as head of the French state, things have changed gradually toward the establishment of reconciliation and strong and lasting relations between Algeria and France. By recognizing of the past wrong, suffering and injustices of the colonial period to Algerian people, Francois Hollande wants to give the French-Algerian relations a new twist, appeasement and reconciliation.

Boron cluster compounds are substances clearly synthetic, which don't exist outdoors. This group covers boranes, heteroboranes and their derivatives. They are synthesized and examined mostly for their extraordinary structural and bonding properties. Their study also brought many remarkable findings and even allowed practical use of these compounds in science and technology. This thesis is focused on the application of mass spectrometry for the identification of boranes and heteroboranes and on the study of their fragmentation mechanisms using tandem mass spectrometry on spherical ion trap.

These methods are suitable for repair process.

Traditional historiographic research is challenged by the very nature of post-modernism which, in terms of one of its less radical viewpoints, views history not so much as truth-seeking, nor objective activity, but rather re-interpreting it as story-telling and as history reflective of itself -an approach which have determined the nature and style of this study. The study was prompted firstly by my exposure to the legacy of apartheid with regards to land and past planning policies while working at the Department of Land Affairs, and secondly by my personal involvement in Hammanskraai/Temba. The latter straddles the border of a former homeland, formed part of the previous governments' border industry programme, suffers tenure problems on land-ownership issues and is bisected by two present provincial boundaries. For a long time to come Hammanskraai/Temba will struggle to overcome results of modernistic grand apartheid policies as reflected in gross inequalities, uncertainty and the like. The aim of this study was therefore to form an understanding of the grand generalising and local narratives regarding borders, boundaries and barriers in the Hammanskraai/Temba area, as well as the influence of the discourses of development intent on the area and its people. In order to address the issues it was necessary to deconstruct the discourses in development intent that affected the Hammanskraai/Temba area, and to tell the respective role players' stories of the shaping of borders, boundaries and barriers in the area, as well as to play off the various discourses in grand, local and expressive narratives, as it is still unfolding. Instead of giving an 'all encompassing truth' or deliberately simplifying the 'story' in order to fit into a logical, chronological structure (arguing 'modernisticly', so that the reader cannot do otherwise than to agree with the argument), I rather opted towards telling some of the stories reflecting on various experiences regarding borders, boundaries and barriers in the area. There are stories of artificial boundaries, of racists and capitalists, of land and tenure, of division, separation, independence and later integration, of reserves and their underdevelopment, of people suffering and struggling, and of unviable towns and demarcations. In these stories the immense influence and effect of policies and development intent on peoples lives, as well as on the physical, social and economical environment, are illustrated. However, the stories illustrate that not only were complicated barriers created, but also how in some cases, they were perpetuated and enhanced. The value of this historical narrative, lies in the way it makes sense of events, actions and experiences, bringing forward stories that 'deserve to be told', thus opening up a new way of looking at planning and planning history. It illustrates the complexity and intriguing relationships and problems of an area influenced by a magnitude of modernistic planning policies and actions, casting a glimpse on the effect of borders, boundaries and barriers on the lives of those who have to live with it, cross it, or in the worst instances, struggle against it - somehow always with a glimmer of hope. / Dissertation (MTRP)--University of Pretoria, 1997. / gm2014 / Town and Regional Planning / unrestricted

Doctor Legum - LLD / International standards recognise the basic right of all women and girls to make free choices about reproduction including the number if any, spacing and timing of their children without being subjected to discrimination, coercion, or violence. The enjoyment of this right by many women in the world has overtime been interfered with through forced sterilisation which has a salient history beginning with the eugenics movement in the 20th century indicating a disproportionate impact on the poor, ethnic minorities, women with disabilities, transgender group, as well as women living with HIV.
