Traditionally, international humanitarian organisations have used on-demand dispatch of disaster relief goods from regional logistics units (RLUs) for sudden onset disaster response. This paper investigates the improvements in efficiency and resilience of disaster relief operations by combining the existing method of onshore prepositioning of relief items in RLUs with offshore prepositioning of re

Many companies today are introducing services in their portfolios as a result of globalization and increased competition. Service offerings are however significantly different from product offerings both in terms of company resources and processes and customer perceived value. A stronger service orientation includes a focus on relational and process aspects as opposed to transactional and product

The introduction of L-DOPA pharmacotherapy revolutionized the treatment of Parkinson’s disease close to fifty years ago. Before the discovery of dopamine as a neurotransmitter and its involvement in the disease, these patients had very little aid from medication and were bound to a life without movement. The dopamine neurons in the midbrain are a key player in the circuitry that is responsible for

This paper investigates how early career academics interpret and respond to institutional demands structured by projectification. Developing a ‘frame analytic’ approach, it explores projectification as a process constituted at the level of meaning-making. Building on 35 in-depth interviews with fixed-term scholars in political science and history, the findings show that respondents jointly referre

Continuous delivery can be seen as an evolution from agile software development methods and high demands to deliver working software quickly. It aims to always be able to deliver working and reliable software in short iterations by continuously integrate, build and test the software. This puts high demands on automation and the focus of this thesis is to automate the pipeline between source code a

Cerebral pares (CP) är en diagnos som beskriver en heterogen grupp av individer som alla har någon grad av motorisk funktionsnedsättning. Utöver motorik är andra funktioner ofta också påverkade och komorbiditet (t.ex. epilepsi) samt s.k. ”secondary conditions” (t.ex. smärta) är vanliga. Personer med ryggmärgsbråck (MMC) har också motoriska problem, ofta tillsammans med problem relaterade till neurCerebral palsy (CP) is a medical diagnosis that describes a heterogeneous group of individuals who all have some degree of motor impairment. In addition to motor skills, other functions are often also affected and comorbidity (e.g., epilepsy) and secondary conditions (e.g., pain) are common. Individuals with spina bifida— and often more specifically myelomeningocele (MMC) — also have motor problem

Background: The increasing trends in cesarean delivery are globally acknowledged. However, in many low-resource countries, socioeconomic disparities have created a pattern of underuse and overuse among lower and higher socioeconomic groups. The impact of rising cesarean delivery rates on neonatal survival is also unclear.Objective: To examine cesarean delivery and its associated socioeconomic patt

While foreign direct investments (FDI) are promoted as a vehicle for economic development their environmental consequences are less established. This study tests the hypotheses that 1) FDI led to environmental degradation in form of increased greenhouse gas emissions during Sub-Saharan Africa´s recent growth spurt but that 2) this impact was felt to a lesser extent in countries with a higher quali

Although the communication aspects of sport and football organizations are receiving in-creased scholarly attention, research from the perspective of fans of such organizations has mostly been neglected. This study problematizes the gap that exists be-tween the current social media communication of football organizations, that tend to be guided by commercial interests, and the expectation of fans
