The Doha Round of Negotiations in the World Trade Organization: Selected Countries' Positions

This bachelor thesis focuses on international negotiation within the World Trade Organization, particularly on position of least developed countries during negotiations in the Organization. Due to weak negotiation positions of least developed countries, it is advantageous when their interests are protected by states that have more economic influence. For the abovementioned, the goal of this thesis is to discover which economic power shares interest with the least developed countries whether India or China. To achieve a conclusion, analysis of ministerial speeches from WTO Ministerial conferences is conducted. Opinion statements of the states are evaluated according to topics states focus on in the speeches - depending on the length of the text dedicated to the topic and expressed degree of liberalization. Subsequently, using the Weight Euclidian Distance positions of the states were identified and the distances among them were stated. The results show that China's opinions are closer to the least developed countries than India's. The crucial difference is most noticeable on the issue of special and differential treatment for developing countries, which China strongly promotes. Furthermore, it is observed that China's opinions are closer primarily to African nations

Diagnostic sensitivities of bacteriology and PCR.

<p>Diagnostic sensitivities culture and PCR for detection of <i>Brachyspira hyodysenteriae</i> infection in pigs, estimated by latent class analysis. Results are given in the form of posterior density distributions, and show that culture has a higher sensitivity than PCR (red  = PCR, black  =  bacteriology).</p
