Title: Developing a Supply Chain Management Framework for Decision-making: A Case Study at Lindab Authors: Michelle Jasinski and Louise Skaarup Johansen Problem formulation: Taking decisions to facilitate an efficient supply chain could be difficult and include many parameters. As an international company, Lindab has a well-developed and rather complex supply chain network. However, in Lindab’s
The Swedish government has decided to start building high-speed rails. The objective of this study is to analyze the policy process behind this decision. This is done using Bacchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to Be approach, which is designed to investigate the problem representations behind any policy, as well as their underpinnings. Eight different problem representations have been found,
The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas
After the Higgs boson’s discovery precision searches for Beyond the Standard Model physics has become a new frontier in fundamental physics research. In extensions to the Standard Model, large combinatorics arising due to the many possibly involved particles in Feynman diagrams stands in the way of performing precision calculations of what such extensions predict. This work investigates the feasib
This thesis performs a critical evaluation of the original Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the Lund tramway project, focusing on its adherence to the then-current Swedish national appraisal guidelines (ASEK 5) and the accuracy of its demand forecasts. An updated demand forecast and monetary valuation of time savings are constructed and compared to the original CBA projections by using empirical pas
Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial degenerative disease characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage (AC), affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Among many treatment options, hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates for cartilage replacement, due to their structural resemblance to the native tissue. Hydrogels can be made from various materials, and this study focuses o
This thesis examines how autonomous buses are interpreted and evaluated as a potential mobility solution within a multi-level planning context involving both municipal and regional perspectives. While autonomous vehicles are often framed as a key component of future sustainable transport systems, their implementation depends not only on technological development but also on social acceptance, inst
Trelleborgen, the Viking age fortress in Trelleborg, and its reconstruction, in this essay, constitutes an example of the importance of ancient monuments and the reconstructions of these can have to people who were and are affected by them. This concerns politicians and inhabitants in the area as well as archaeologists. By studying the archaeologist’s theories about Trelleborgen, by interviewing
Ursprungsfolk är idag en av de mest utsatta folkgrupperna i världen men den problematik de möter förknippas främst med förhållandena i u-länder och inte med förhållandena i ett i-land som Sverige. Samerna i Sverige har genom historien och i nutid utsatts för grov diskriminering och gör idag anspråk på självbestämmande och förbättrade förhållanden enligt internationell rätt. Denna uppsats ska därfö
Syftet med denna uppsats var att göra en genealogisk diskursanalys av debatten om äktenskap för homosexuella mellan 1984-2009. Inspirerad av teoretiker som Foucault, Butler och Laclau analyseras flertalet juridiska förarbeten till tre olika lagar och tidningsartiklar rörande äktenskap för homosexuella där diskurser om homosexuella och äktenskapet diskuteras utifrån frågeställningar om vad det är sThe purpose of this study was to do a genealogic discourse analysis of the debate on the subject of homosexual’s right to marriage during the years 1984-2009. Inspired by theorists such as Foucault, Butler and Laclau several legal documents to three different laws concerning marriage for homosexuals and newspaper articles on the subject are analyzed and discourses concerning homosexuals and marria
Through media reports we became aware that several municipalities and organizations used the concept of fundamental values to show the approach to governing. Also through media, we became aware of a report which proposed a statutory national fundamental value for the elderly. We were curious about what was actually meant by the term fundamental values, and the effect it has, and the purpose of the
Problembeskrivning: Vi menar att forskning kring ledarskap med fokus på hälsofrämjande arbete inte har behandlats i den utsträckning som det behövs. Att en del ledare inte använder ett hälsofrämjande arbete i sitt ledarskap är en bristande faktor som vi anser är oroväckande i dagens organisationer. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka praktiken och betydelsen av hälsofrämjande arbete inom organisationer
Framställningen syftar till att belysa den svenska vårdnadslagslagstiftningen avseende bestämmanderätten vid gemensam vårdnad samt konsekvenserna av vårdnadshavares oförmåga att samarbeta i frågor som rör barns rätt till vård. Enligt svensk familjerätt är det bästa för barnet att stå under föräldrarnas gemensamma vårdnad samt att föräldrarna tar gemensamma beslut i alla frågor som rör barnet. NämnThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the current legislation regarding the right of decision under joint legal custody and the absence of legal rules in this area. The thesis furthermore analyses the consequences of the legal requirement of consensus between the parents for all decisions regarding the child, as well as the consequence of the parents inability to cooperate when it comes to the chil
Background: The unanticipated difficult airway is a potentially life-threatening event during anaesthesia or acute conditions. An unsuccessfully managed upper airway is associated with serious morbidity and mortality. Several bedside screening tests are used in clinical practice to identify those at high risk of difficult airway. Their accuracy and benefit however, remains unclear. Objectives: The
A noncompetitive flow immunoassay system (FIA) for the analysis of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in cell samples was developed. Affinity interaction assays based on offline incubation of excess labeled antibodies and antigen (IL-8) were carried out. The residual unbound labeled antibody was trapped in an immunoaffinity column with immobilized IL-8 while the immunocomplex, labeled antibody/IL-8, was detecte
Dementia is one of the burdensome diseases in older age for which there is no cure known. The demand for carers of dementia patients is growing as the population ages. We analyse serious games as an approach to provide dementia carers with training on care related problem solving and modelling real-world cases. We present the behaviour model of improved care process by applying serious games, desc
