Switzerland is an excellent location for living, studying, and working. Its cultural variety, beautiful landscape, and innovative environment offer first-class surroundings for both personal well-being and career advancement. Switzerland is one of the most competitive countries in the world and widely recognised internationally as a centre of excel- lence in education, research, and innovation. Great emphasis is placed on ensuring the autonomy of Swiss universities and re searchers, on fostering competition and quality, and on en- couraging a broad-minded outlook. Switzerland’s high-quality education system and its multicul- tural society mean that a large part of the population is fluent in several languages. English is widely spoken and used as a language of business, higher education, and research. Switzerland’s small size has favoured the emergence of well- developed research and development networks, whose expertise is continuously implemented in the economy and society. At the same time, Switzerland is part of the global community and maintains a worldwide network of cooperations and partner- ships in education and science. Common to the country’s richly diverse higher education system is a drive for uncompromising quality in teaching and research.

  • The Anatomy of the Basal Shear Zone of the High- Pressure Adula Nappe and Its Repercussion on the Alpine Regional Geology

Within such deformational regime the lithological units are stretched and elongated along the shear direction, locally loosing their lateral continuity. The missing continuity of marker horizons or diagnostic rocktypes challenges the large-scale geological mapping and sometimes causes misleading regional interpretations. Here, we present detailed geological maps and profiles (scale 1:10’000) along the shear zone of the lower boundary of Adula unit, the largest High-Pressure nappe of the Central Alps. Overall, the lithological units along this shear zone show a sub-horizontal penetrative foliation (at amphibolite metamorphic facies) parallel to the lithological contacts that dip gently E to the SE. On the foliation plane the mineral and stretching lineation and the fold axis are oriented almost N-S independently on the orientation of the schistosity.

  • Strenghtening Swiss Excellence in Photovoltaic Technology
    Press Release SUPSI intensifies its collaboration with CSEM Strengthening Swiss excellence in photovoltaic technology Neuchâtel–Canobbio, 15th March 2017 – SUPSI and CSEM have decided to expand their collaboration in photovoltaic-related activities. With this intensified cooperation, the two Swiss R&D institutes intend to reinforce and integrate their competencies in research, development and testing with regard to PV modules and power plants. The goal is to respond to the increasing demand for innovative solar products and to the need for testing and accreditation of commercial solar systems, offering solutions right along the value chain of solar modules and power plants. Photovoltaic energy is spreading rapidly around the globe, with the number of installations of new power plants exceeding expectations every year. This growth is accompanied by both a demand for increased reliability, quality and lifetime of PV products, and by the need for new product development, both for the power market and for building integrated photovoltaic solutions. SUPSI and CSEM have therefore decided to intensify their collaboration to be able to offer a full range of services, from new product development to testing and accreditation of existing or new products or power plants. The considerable experience of SUPSI in the photovoltaic field focuses on new technology characteriza- tion, PV modules and system quality monitoring as well as on its verification through testing in the SUPSI PVLab, the only ISO 17025 accredited Swiss PV laboratory. CSEM’s expertise in the field of photovoltaics includes the design and product development of innovative module concepts and BIPV elements, and the modeling and simulation of PV systems.

  • CHAPTER I – Bloody Saturday………………………………………………………………
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM ITALIAN WHITE-COLLAR CRIME IN THE GLOBALIZATION ERA RICCARDO M. GHIA Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Journalism with honors in Journalism Reviewed and approved by Russell Frank Associate Professor Honors Adviser Thesis Supervisor Russ Eshleman Senior Lecturer Second Faculty Reader ABSTRACT At the beginning of the 2000s, three factories in Asti, a small Italian town, went broke and closed in quick succession. Hundreds of men were laid off. After some time, an investigation mounted by local prosecutors began to reveal what led to bankruptcy. A group of Italian and Spanish entrepreneurs organized a scheme to fraudulently bankrupt their own factories. Globalization made production more profitable where manpower and machinery are cheaper. A well-planned fraudulent bankruptcy would kill three birds with one stone: disposing of non- competitive facilities, fleecing creditors and sidestepping Italian labor laws. These managers hired a former labor union leader, Silvano Sordi, who is also a notorious “fixer.” According to the prosecutors, Sordi bribed prominent labor union leaders of the CGIL (Italian General Confederation of Labor), the major Italian labor union. My investigation shows that smaller, local scandals were part of a larger scheme that led to the divestments of relevant sectors of the Italian industry. Sordi also played a key role in many shady businesses – varying from awarding bogus university degrees to toxic waste trafficking. My research unveils an expanded, loose network that highlights the multiple connections between political, economic and criminal forces in the Italian system.
