This master thesis is a project initiated by the fourth-party logistics company UBQ. They aim to take over the management of the transportation and storage of raw material for Volvo Car Body Components, VCBC, in Olofström. VCBC wants to remove the storage of raw material in the production area. The thesis aims to link the both companies’ requests together by describing the current situation, the s
The production philosophy at Tetra Pak Japan is make-to-order. Although, in reality it is more make-to-stock due to the current pricing structure based on discounts for large volume orders. As a result, the inventory levels are high and the responsiveness towards customer demand is limited. Alongside, the marketplace is changing and the competition is increasing. This calls for a change in the sup

210Pb dateringsstudie på 3000-4000 meters djup gjord på sediment från Marokanska och Arabiska havet för att undersöka om djuphavssediment är en stabil miljö. Tanken med examensarbetet är att undersöka konsekvenserna för dumpning av radioaktivt avfall i havet. Vilka regler gäller och vilka problem kan uppstå. Är det säkert eller ej? Vilka dumpplatser finns det och vad har man dumpat där? Ett av målThe earth surface consists of 71% of water and 29% land. 97% of that water is contained in saline seas. More than 90 per cent of the worlds living biomass can be found in the oceans. The sea has always been a possible dumpingsite for waste produced by man. Radioactive waste is the one of the most dangerous waste of all. Since the beginning of nuclear power research dumpsites around the world has b
E-poster, 2-minute presentation. ABSTRACT: Background: A study of typically developing infants testing joystick-operated powered wheelchair was part of the Driving to Learn project. The original aim was to find a pattern in achievements among participants with profound cognitive disabilities by comparing with young infants. Method: Re-analysis of video-data collected with typically developing infa
In Sweden there are laws and recommendations from The National Board of Health and Welfare about the importance of a user's involvement in and possibility of influencing services directed at them. Even with such good intentions the same board reports that it is hard to know if people experience that they do. The purpose of my study was to examine how professionals can use their knowledge to he
Knowledge is today considered to be a critical factor for organisations to survive within an increasingly competitive market. This has resulted in the fact that effective management of information and knowledge has become of crucial importance for companies. Knowledge management systems facilitate this management of knowledge and make it possible to develop new knowledge that can be shared and dis
Östersjön har stora problem med övergödning, eutrofiering, vilket beror på en ökad transport av näringsämnen från omgivande länder. Näringen kommer främst i form av kväve och fosfor från jordbruket och transporteras ut i Östersjön via floder. Framförallt kväve har stor påverkan på övergödningen, som i sin tur leder till fiskdöd, algblomning och syrefria bottnar i sjöar. I den här studien ska läckEutrophication problems in the Baltic Sea have drawn attention to the contribution of nutrients from surrounding countries. The problems have attracted considerable attention to non-point source nitrogen pollution of rivers and lakes. The ability to predict nitrogen export from inland sources is essential in order to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic activities, of which the leakage from agric
This Master's thesis aims to investigate the reference interview using the discourse analytical method discourse psychology. The reference interview has been studied thoroughly, and its importance has been proven repeatedly within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). However, it has never been studied from a discourse analytical point of view before. The material for our study
The (re)appearance of different Far-Right parties in Italy during the last decades brought me to the decision to write my Master's thesis about this topic. Due to the fact that in this country, together with a long tradition of support for Far-Right ideologies, more than one tipology of Far-Right party exists, an interesting scenario is open for the analysis. I will study the cases of Lega Nor
In 2010 there will be a political resolution to ensure that the Swedish society is accessible to all citizens including people with disabilities. For this purpose a national action plan for disability policy "From patient to citizen" (Govt. Bill 1999/2000:79) has been set out with the aim of ensuring that the disability perspective will permeate every sector of society and that the appro
In 1979 “The Ancient Thebes and its Necropolis” entered in the World Heritage List in a core zone of 7390 ha. Western Thebes holds the remains of about 36 temples in varying degrees of preservation and dating from archaic times (3100 – 2686 B.C.) to the Greco-Roman Period (332 B.C. – 395 A.D.). The temples of Medinet Habu, Ramesseum and Sethos I, are located in the western side of modern Luxor and
Fideikommissen som institution har under de två senaste århundradena varit föremål för diskussion angående dess särställning som arvsrättsligt undantag. Fideikommissinstitutet tillämpades främst av adeln i de europeiska länderna och medförde att fideikommissegendom med omfattande värden kunde bevaras i en familjs ägor såsom odelad. Förordnanden med villkor om fideikommiss inrättades vanligen i tesThe fideikommiss as an institution has been the subject of discussion for the past two centuries regarding its special status as an inheritance law exception. Fideikommiss was mainly applied by the nobility in the European countries and meant that entailed properties with extensive values could be preserved in a family’s possessions as undivided. Testamentary dispositions with conditions which sti
A study of heavy metals in surface and groundwater was conducted in Poopó and Antequera River basins in Bolivia. Problems with high levels of heavy metals in waters on the Bolivian high plateau have been known for many years and are to a great extent the cause of the mining industry in the region. In this study, ten sampling sites of surface waters and twelve observation wells monitoring the groun
From a continental point of view the Swedish regulation concerning the freedom of the press may appear rather peculiar, since a considerable number of the detailed rules is found at the highest level of the national hierarchy of legal rules - i.e. Grundlagen. In foreign legal systems the freedom of the press is normally stipulated in a very concise way in the constitutional act while the rules reg
Objective : To measure the extent to which health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people living with HIV is associated with duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after controlling for sociodemographic, clinical, and other therapy-related factors. Design : Cross-sectional analysis. Methods : A gender-stratified random sample of 421 participants aged 18-64 years was selected from the patients
OBJECTIVE: Products enriched with oat beta-glucan have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose and insulinemic responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an extruded muesli product based on oat beta-glucan on the rate of gastric emptying, postprandial blood glucose and satiety in healthy subjects. METHODS: Gastric emptying rate (GER) was measured by standardized real-time ult
Popular Abstract in Swedish De personer som ingår i undersökningen har gemensamt att de har erfarenheter av flera års avancerat narkotikamissbruk, varit drogfria i minst två år samt att de idag är socialt integrerade. Det faktum att de lyckats sluta missbruka narkotika och idag lever "vanliga liv" innebär att de tillhör en grupp som hitintills fått mycket liten uppmärksamhet av missbruksforskningeAim of the study, background, theory and method The two aims of this study are to describe and analyse: i) how drug abusers have transformed their lives from the time when they did not use drugs, to becoming drug abusers, and finally leaving drugs behind them; and ii) what it means to be socially integrated with one's experience of having been a drug abuser. The women and men who participated in
