Dubai Business Associates Alumni Newsletter Dubai Business Associates Alumni Newsletter Web Edition DBA behind the scenes at the DP World ‘Race to Dubai’ golf championship, November 2018 Debut edition 4Q/2018 DBA Alumni Newsletter 4Q/2018 A Message from the Director of Dubai Business Associates, James Maughan It is my pleasure to present the debut edition of the Dubai Business Associates Alumni Newsletter! This is the programme’s fifth year, and we began the year with a new name: Dubai Business Associates. While you may be a DBI graduate, we will use the term DBA moving forward to encompass all programme alumni. The DBA programme has many strengths, especially our incredible alumni network, with whom we are delighted to remain so well connected. During a recent conversation with the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they expressed how impressed they are by the alumni list, a confirmation of the impact and power of having you as our ambassadors. We hope you tell your story of your time in Dubai and the UAE wherever you are, consciously and unconsciously – at work, when traveling, to friends and family and colleagues. Following the newsletter, we are sharing the alumni list with you. This is a very useful networking tool, and we encourage you to connect with one another and keep in touch, by WeChat or however! We stay connected with you in order to learn of your achievements and successes, to connect you with opportunities and ideas, and to offer support whenever needed. After graduation the programme may come to an end, but our community remains, and we greatly value your contributions. There is a Latin saying, “All roads lead to Rome.” This should be updated to Dubai. May we meet soon.

Hang Guo at the Shenzhen Foundation (SFIEC): In his role at the Shenzhen Foundation, Hang [Y1] co-created City Plus, an initiative to facilitate intercity exchange and communication between Shenzhen and its 85 friendship cities. City Plus 2.0 will launch in 2019, focused on helping expats live more like locals in Shenzhen, through suggested walking routes created by the City Plus team, where expats will be exposed to both hidden gems and well-known highlights. Each with its own theme, the walking routes will also have tasks that can be completed to unlock a hidden element or treasure, containing knowledge and historical information about Shenzhen. Hang explained that the online walking routes can be the vivid books expats "read" by experiencing the city, and also a social occasion where they meet people who share their interests, helping to create a sense of belonging for the expats so that one day they may call Shenzhen home. This initiative is part of an effort to make Shenzhen the most inclusive city in the world. City Plus 2.0 also aims to collate information about Shenzhen’s friendship cities and showcase the information, to create better links between them and Shenzhen. Hang identified a lack of momentum following the initial friendship agreement, and hopes to bridge the gap by providing 12 DBA Alumni Newsletter 4Q/2018 a platform where the cities can “socialise” with each other and exchange information, allowing them to grow together through collaboration. By coining the term “intercity socialisation” to define their model, they hope to have cities promoting themselves offline in Shenzhen as well.

Yanming Wen (Ming) [Y1] at Youreka Technology: Wen Yang Ming (Ming), Y1 alumni, is co-founder and CEO of Youreka Technology, an innovative patent development and patent productization company in Shenzhen, China. After graduating from the DBI programme, Ming finished her Master’s Degree in Chinese Business Law, then worked as a teenager-maker tutor and product manager in Shenzhen for one year. She writes, I studied law for more than 7 years, but I was not interested in pursuing my career in law. I am a big fan of science and technology innovation and inventing. I chose Intellectual Property as my major in college since I considered it could protect innovations. For interests, I also minored in Computer Science and Engineering. Though I was not a specialized science and engineering student, I have more than ten years of experience inventing patents. 13 DBA Alumni Newsletter 4Q/2018 During my first year in Shenzhen, I was so glad that I had the opportunity to join a maker education startup and worked as a teenager maker tutor and intelligent hardware product manager. I made many interesting intellectual items such as unmanned aerial vehicle, interactive robots, smart home system, 3D printing model, etc. As time went by, I came up with more and more innovative ideas and I had a burning desire to bring these ideas into reality to change people’s lives rather than having them remain in a laboratory. I made up my mind to start my own company, focusing on innovative patent development and patent productization. I like the story of when Aristotle discovered buoyancy force - he blurted out the word “Eureka!”, so I named the company “Youreka Technology”, as a constant reminder of the joy of discovery and innovation. Youreka Technology successfully passed the expert team examination and was admitted as an incubating enterprise to the Maker College of Chinese Academy of Sciences in April 2018. The company’s goal is to change unreasonable status quo, bring convenience to people's lives and improve their happiness by providing innovative technologies and solutions: to change the world through grounded technology”. Youreka’s first productization patent “None-Pipe Ultrasonic Self-Cleaning Range Hood” recently won the second prize in Shenzhen College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition and RMB300,000 of government funding support, and more patented products are coming soon.

  • Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, Risks
    MILITARY BUDGETS in INDIA and PAKISTAN Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks by Shane Mason Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks © Copyright 2016 by the Stimson Center. All rights reserved. Printed in Washington, D.C. Stimson Center 1211 Connecticut Avenue, NW 8th Floor Washington, D.C. 20036 U.S.A. Visit www.stimson.org for more information about Stimson’s research. 2 Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks PREFACE The Stimson Center prides itself in fact-driven analysis, as exemplified in Shane Mason’s report, Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks. Shane’s analysis and policy-relevant conclusions are properly caveated, because India does not reveal some important data about defense spending, and Pakistan, while doing better to offer its citizens defense budget information, still reveals less than India. While Shane has found it necessary to draw inferences about spending for nuclear weapon- related programs, for which there is little publicly available information, he has been transparent about his sources and methodology. Those who appreciate reading the pages of The Economist will find comfort immersing themselves in Shane’s charts and graphs comparing trends in Indian and Pakistani defense expenditures. This Stimson report is also accessible to those who prefer analysis to numerology. Shane’s analytical bottom lines are worth highlighting. The growth of India’s defense expenditures relative to Pakistan are noteworthy, but the full impact of this differential will be diminished absent reforms in familiar organizational, bureaucratic, and procurement practices, as well as by growth in benefit payments.

Burrows Submitted in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, May 2014 3 University of Sussex Karen K. Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

  • APIS COR – Technical Report
    APIS COR – Technical Report Company & development The company was founded by a married couple, Anna and Nikita Cheniuntai. While Anna was studying Astrophysics in the Technical University of Irkutsk, she met a young self-made engineer with no university degree, Nikita. Despite having no profound university level education, Nikita had years of experience within construction industry and machine building and a huge desire to start operating within the area of 3D printing. The first trial of 3D construction printing with the first version of the printer was done in Irkuts, however, not finished. The next project to be started was in Texas, USA, but also not finished due to the financial problems of the partner, who was primarily in charge of the project. The first and only successful project was completed in Moscow Region, Stupino city, where on the concrete factory, there is a small house, claimed to be built within the 24 hours. Up-to-date, some of the main engineers in the company still lack university education. However, the official policy is that Apis Cor is interested in professionals with experience, who able not only to draw future and plan the developments, but who have hands-on-experience and are able to conduct a reality check if needed. Currently, Anna is playing a role of a Marketing Manager, Hr Manager and is in charge of communication with the partners, whereas Nikita is more concentrated on engineering type of work. Originally, the company’s idea was to sell printers, however, with the help of investment advisors, they have decided to change their focus to providing printing services for big construction companies instead of having their printers sold out.

Alive and Kicking: The Kashmir Dispute Forty Years Later I. Introduction The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan involves a struggle between two powers for the possession of a tract of territory which each wants for its own valid reasons. The stakes are of major economic, political and strategic significance to Pakistan, while to India, Kashmir has become a symbol of national prestige and inter- national justice.1 Charges of aggression and violations of interna- tional law have been asserted by both parties. In considering a solu- tion to the Kashmir dispute, it is necessary to look beyond the blatant facts and see the elements that gave rise to the dispute and the circumstances under which it occurred. A purely legalistic approach never solves large political problems. With this in mind, this Comment begins with an examina- tion of the roots of the conflict: Kashmir's economy, geography, predominantly Moslem population and Hindu ruler.

  • Expats in Zürich
    Institutionen för pedagogik, didaktik och utbildningsstudier Expats in Zürich A qualitative study of expats´ reasons and choices regarding integration, education and social grounds Kristina Andersson C-uppsats i utbildningssociologi Abstract This study examines expats and their families in the canton of Zürich, Switzerland. Their reasons and choices regarding integrating (or not) into the Swiss society, educational strategies for their children and possessed capital assets upon arrival in Switzerland is the three problem statements being explored. Pierre Bourdieu’s´ sociology is the theoretical framework for this study – the concept of different types of capital and educational strategies are especially important in this regard. Interviews with female expats whose children attend the Inter-Community School Zürich (ICSZ) were conducted and the stated purpose of the study was obtained. This study concludes that these expat families choose the international grounds rather than the local, due to language barriers. The language makes it hard for both themselves and their children to integrate and/or feel part of the Swiss community and society. The expats are integrated into the international ´expat-bubble´ rather than the Swiss society or community, and the reason is due to the lack of time spent with the local people, not mastering the language and/or not being interested enough to make the effort to integrate. This specific group of expats can be seen as an ´international elite- group´, based on their assets of capital, their cosmopolitan lifestyle and international social grounds. These expats value their capitals highly but is not stating that one specific capital is more needed than another; all their assets are of worth and they do not consciously use a specific capital for their integration.
