Problem IKEA want to avoid building a DC with insufficient capacity, and with imbalances in the material flow, therefore they want to run simulations of the system to see if the material flow is of satisfaction. The focus of this report is aimed towards capacity simulations of the Silo, the automated high storage area. Purpose Run different scenarios of the Silo with different conditions in o
The world of today is characterized by enormous flows of various kinds of information. People are engaged in vast interactions, irrespective of nationality, culture or mother tongue. On the political scene an increased openness and extended international co-operation are obvious signs of the times. In Europe the co-operation within the EU, which soon is about to comprise more nations and thereby
In early 2010 Mattias Andersson, head of internal logistics at Kraft Foods production of chocolate in Upplands Väsby, experienced his factory as messy and unstructured. He suspected that the factory's inventory levels were higher than what was necessary for the production plant; in order meet its commitments. This led to "waste" represented by high cost of capital and a lot of truck

Zambezi River Basin is an international river basin which sustains life of about 30 million people in its riparian countries: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The main stream of the river enters to Mozambique with average flow of about 2330 m3/s and reaches the outfall in the Indian Ocean with about 4134 m3/s. This makes both the activities in the upstr
The purpose of this paper is to examine the reasons or motives for firms with enough capital investment, thus not financially incapacitated, but still utilizing some form of financial bootstrapping in their daily operations. This paper uses the empirical findings on techniques and motives for bootstrapping according to Winborg and Landström (2001) and Winborg (2009) as a basis for analysis to eval

En utlänning som begår brott med fängelse i straffskalan kan utvisas ur Sverige. Utlänningen måste, för att utvisning ska bli aktuellt, dömas till ett strängare straff än böter och det måste antingen föreligga en risk för återfall i brottslighet eller vara fråga om ett brott som är så allvarligt att utlänningen inte bör få stanna i landet. Vid prövningen av utvisningsfrågan ska domstolen dessutom A foreigner who commits a crime that has prison in the punishment scale can be expelled from Sweden. For expulsion to become relevant the foreigner must be sentenced to a more severe penalty than a fine. There must also be a risk of relapse in crime or be a matter of such a severe crime that the foreigner should not be allowed to stay in the country. When the court examine the expulsion issue, it
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest threats facing our world today. The effects of climate change are expected to increase global sea level rise and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. This poses a significant risk to cities due to their high population density and economic, political, cultural and commercial activities. Coastal cities in low- and middle-in
I Sverige finns det idag möjlighet för skattskyldiga att göra skatteavdrag för resor till och från arbetet med den verkliga resekostnaden. I Norge får man göra ett färdmedelsneutralt skatteavdrag baserat på sträckan mellan hemmet och arbetsplatsen. I Frankrike får alla skattskyldiga ett schabloniserat avdrag om 10 % av inkomsten som är tänkt att täcka samtliga utgifter för att förvärva och bibehålIn present day Sweden, taxpayers can make a tax deduction for actual commuting expenses. In Norway the tax deduction for commuting expenses is based purely on distance and therefore independent on mode of transportation. In France every taxpayer receives a standard deduction of 10 % of their salary. In the United Kingdom, no deduction is allowed for commuting expenses. In 2019, the Swedish governm
Provokationers strafflindrande effekt har länge setts som självklar i såväl det svenska som andra länders rättssystem. 1989 infördes en bestämmelse i Brottsbalken som uttryckligen bekräftade att provokationer, eller ordagrant enligt bestämmelsen ”uppenbart kränkande beteende”, skulle ses som en förmildrande omständighet vid bedömningen av ett brotts straffvärde. I förarbetet till bestämmelsen utveThe mitigating effect of provocation has for a long time been considered a given part of the Swedish as well as other judicial systems. In 1989, a new regulation was introduced in the Swedish Penal Code, explicitly confirming the mitigating power of provocation, or, as directly translated from the regulation, “obviously abusive behaviour”, in the assessment of the penal value of a crime. The clues
Nedmonteringen av rättsstatsprincipen i vissa av EU:s medlemsstater, vilket skett genom omfattande domstolsreformer som inkräktar på rättsväsendets oavhängighet, har resulterat i en ’Rule of Law’-kris som påverkar det unionsrättsliga samarbetet inom flera dimensioner. Respekt för rättsstaten är ett grundläggande krav vid anslutning till unionen enligt artikel 49 FEU och ett fundamentalt värde för The rule of law backsliding in some EU Member States through deficiencies in the judiciary has led to a crisis impacting several dimensions of the European cooperation. Respect for the rule of law is a fundamental value for the Union and thus a pre-condition for accession to the Union according to Article 49 TEU. Pursuant to Article 2 TEU the rule of law is a common value between the Member States
Demand for the usable water is accumulating globally in parallel with the population growth and the industrial revolution. Nevertheless, availability and accessibility of the usable water is progressively subsiding due to many environmental and socio-economic reasons. This discrepancy can lead the world to a water crisis unless it takes necessary actions to enhance the sustainable use of existing
In the shadow of commercial fishing fleets, recreational fishers are a lesser known but still substantial group exerting pressure on the world’s aquatic ecosystems and its fish stocks. Enthusiastic angler participation, high catch rates, catch selectivity and harmful fishing techniques characteristic of recreational fishers can have detrimental impacts on the aquatic environment. Furthermore, recr
X-ray phase-contrast imaging is a powerful technique that allows great resolving power for low absorbing samples, such as biological tissue. This method relies on measuring the phase shift induced by the sample instead of the absorption traditional radiography relies on. This phase shift is measured as an intensity modulation at the detector and by using various algorithms one can obtain informati
