Thanks to the fierce competition and the globalization of markets as well as compa¬nies, supply chain management has emerged as one of the most urgent manage¬rial issues in business today. This thesis is devoted to one aspect of this vast problem area - the coordinated management/control of supply chain inventories. The objective is: To develop methods and models for coordinated inventory contro
Many modern drugs contain chiral amine moieties and the need for more efficient processes to synthesize these amines in high optical purity and concentration are greatly demanded by the fine chemical and pharma industry. Amine transaminases (ATA) allow for the direct asymmetric synthesis of optically pure amines from ketone substrates. Although academia and industry have been researching ATAs exte
Mobila exergames, det vill säga mobilspel som uppmuntrar användaren till fysisk aktivitet, har ökat i popularitet de senaste åren i samband med spel som Pokémon GO och Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, men stora brister råder fortfarande när det gäller tillgänglighet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. I denna uppsats undersöks tillgängligheten i ett antal mobila exergames på marknaden för att utredMobile exergames, that is mobile games that encourage the user to engage in physical activities, have increased in popularity during the last years due to the success of games such as Pokémon GO and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, but there is a substantial lack when it comes to accessibility for people with disabilities. In this thesis the aim is twofold, first the accessibility of mobile exergames
Protein består av byggstenar och de har flera livsviktiga funktioner i våra kroppar. Byggstenarna är tjugo olika aminosyror som kan kopplas ihop på många olika sätt. Ett protein som är mindre än 50 aminosyraenheter kallas för en peptid. Proteinveckning är en spontan process där ett protein får sin tredimensionella form, som oftast är ett biologiskt aktiv tillstånd. Proteinveckningen kan ibland gå
Talade utrymningslarm installeras som en riskreducerande åtgärd i byggnader där det vistas personer som inte kan väntas ha god lokalkännedom. En grundförutsättning för att utrymningslarmet ska uppfylla sin riskreducerande effekt är att det är hörbart, därav är ett talöverföringsindex, STI, på 0,55 rekommenderat. STI är ett mått på taluppfattbarhet som inte tar hänsyn till den subjektiva upplevelseVoice evacuation alarms are installed as a risk mitigation measure in buildings where people reside who cannot be expected to have good local knowledge. Voice evacuation alarms have basic requirements that need to be meet such as auditability, where a speech transmission index, STI, of 0,55 is recommended. STI is a measure of speech intelligibility that does not include the subjective experience o
The purpose or the study is to explore Google’s network expansion through acquisitions by integrating two different perspectives - Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory - in order to fill the gap in the existing branding literature in relation to network theory. In addition to Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory, the study also explores literature that is related to interrelatedn
This paper aims to synthesise and build further on recent research of consumer behaviour, in order to explain how the industry affects consumer behavioural intentions towards early phase innovations. The rationale for this relies on the non-accessibility of early phase innovations and the implication that they cannot yet be experienced by consumers, which further means they cannot be objectively e

The purpose of this study was to examine how turning points manifest themselves during the life course of people that have substance abuse. We collected our data through a qualitative method, by reading four autobiographies written by authors who describe in detail how they encountered substances, and how they managed to turn their life around for the better. The chosen material was written in Swe
Starting from the human and societal need to safeguard cultural heritage (CH) in order to connect to past generations’ knowledge and human experience, digital preservation (DP) is a common practice undertaken by cultural heritage organisations (CHOs). DP is heavily relying on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as the fundamental enabling equipment. However, ICT is coming wit
Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större The food industry in Sweden stands for approximately 20-25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of the total eutrophication in the country. One way to reduce the impact is to reduce the amount of food waste that occurs along the food chain. Food waste can vary between 10-50% depending on the course of the chain and the type of food. Through global and national goals, the problem of food waste
The objective of this study was to examine to what extent ergonomics simulations of manual assembly tasks correctly predict the real outcomes in the plants and if recommended measures originating from ergonomics simulations are taken into consideration. 155 ergonomics simulation cases were used in the study and all cases were performed by nine simulation engineers at Volvo Car Corporation in Gothe
Atmospheric aerosol particles have substantial influence on climate and air quality. However, the anthropogenic influence on the atmospheric aerosol is still poorly known. This limits the understanding of past and future climate changes. Additionally, both epidemiological and toxicological studies indicate adverse health effects of inhaled aerosol particles. In order to study the effect of atmosph
In this report a generic model for the capture and assessment of end-user requirements and needs, the CREDIT carpenter model, has been developed. The main determinants of the model is the need for the project organisation (including the facilities management organisation) to ensure a thorough understanding of the end-user requirements and needs as well as an assessment through out the project proc
Problem: The relations between first and second tier suppliers within the automotive industry have changed drastically during recent years. Previously involving the supply of simple components, today the relation involves collaborative product development of complex subsystems. The situation is rather new for the actors, hence there are a number of problems that act as restraints for the collabora
We study the nature of the [Ti II] and [Ni II] emission from the so-called strontium filament found in the ejecta of eta Carinae. To this purpose, we employ multilevel models of the Ti II and Ni II systems, which are used to investigate the physical condition of the filament and the excitation mechanisms of the observed lines. For the Ti II ion, for which no atomic data were previously available,
Opaline silica deposits on Mars may be good target sites where organic biosignatures could be preserved. Potential analogues on Earth are provided by ancient cherts containing carbonaceous material (CM) permineralized by silica. In this study, we investigated the ultrastructure and chemical characteristics of CM in the Rhynie chert (c. 410 Ma, UK), Bitter Springs Formation (c. 820 Ma, Australia),
The main motivation for this thesis, however not the only one, is the search for models for traffic in telecommunication networks. Traffic characterization and modeling are of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of communication systems. During the last decades we have experienced an explosive growth of our telecommunication networks. New important properties, both on macroscopic and
The capacity of murine liver dendritic cells (DC) to present bacterial Ags and produce cytokines after encounter with Salmonella was studied. Freshly isolated, nonparenchymal liver CD11c(+) cells had heterogeneous expression of MHC class II and CD11b and a low level of CD40 and CD86 expression. Characterization of liver DC subsets revealed that CD8alpha(-)CD4(-) double negative cells constituted t
