The strategic alignment between e-procurement applications and business strategy domains are in focus for this paper. This paper examines the functionality and value adding mechanisms of the following e-procurement applications: e-sourcing, e-tendering, e-MRO, web-based ERP, e-reversed auctions and e-informing. The e-procurement applications are then put in relation, based on value adding mechanis

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi är under ständig attack från mikroorganismer som vill leva på oss och i oss. Vissa av dessa är vanligtvis nyttiga medan andra är sjukdomsframkallande. Kroppens försvar mot invaderande organismer består av många delar. Ytterst sitter huden som en mekanisk barriär, vi har slem och epitelceller i luftvägar och magtarmkanal samt skyddande ämnen i exempelvis tårvätska. I Transplantation antigens encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) bind peptides and present them to T cells. We showed that mouse T cells expressing transgenic human CD8 can recognise human MHC class I. Expression on mature T cells is sufficient for activation in a mixed lymphocyte culture but expression both on thymocytes and mature T cells is necessary for peptide specific MHC restr

This essay studies the depiction of landscape in Bergman's films in relation to traditional imagery in Swedish films. Bergman's landscapes are here regarded as an implicit criticism of the self-image of the Swedish model welfare state.

Three theoretical atomic structure projects of interest for the astrophysical community and the lightning industry which are partially finished will be presented. Extensive ab initio calculations of properties of astrophysical interest has been done or are under its way for Ga I, Ga II, Ga III, In II and In III. The aim of the project is to also make calculations for In I, Tl I, Tl II and Tl III.

Den under seklet föränderliga attityden till kyrkornas prydande med apokalyptiska bilder under 1700-talet behandlas.

In contrast to the associated with thromboembolic event type 1 myocardial infarction, type 2 myocardial infarction is caused by acute imbalance between oxygen supply and demand of myocardium. Type 2 myocardial infarction may be present in patients with or without obstructive coronary artery disease, but knowledge about patient characteristics, treatments, and outcome in relation to coronary artery

This article discusses new configurations of power when global forces interact with local societies in transition. In particular, it deals with the project society of humanitarian aid, and the warlord/mafia formations beyond the reach of the new states. Examples come from the Balkans, where there is interaction between the new class of project elites managing foreign assistance, the local politica

Aims Genetic testing is needed for the formal diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), but this is not widely available. If any MODY biomarkers were known, these could possibly be used as an alternative. Hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha and HNF-4alpha regulate transcription of genes encoding complement 5 (C5), complement 8 (C8) and transthyretin (TTR), suggesting that these

Background The complex carbohydrate composition of natural and refined plant material is not known in detail but a matter that is of both basic and applied importance. Qualitative assessment of complex samples like plant and wood tissues requires the availability of a range of specific probes. Monoclonal antibodies and naturally existing carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) have been used in the pa

This article discusses the characteristics of ritual practices, according to Roy Rappaport-s general theory of ritual. I start by discussing technology as a kind of ritual product of science and then briefly present Rappaport-s ritual theory as an aid in understanding how the Mi-kmaq Indians of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, employed rituals in their efforts to protect a sacred mountain from bei

Mycotoxins are toxic, secondary metabolites frequently produced by molds in water-damaged indoor environments. We studied the prevalence of selected, potent mycotoxins and levels of fungal biomass in samples collected from water-damaged indoor environments in Sweden during a 1-year period. One hundred samples of building materials, 18 samples of settled dust, and 37 samples of cultured dust were a
