Supply chain management includes coordination and motivation of independently operating partners. Therefore, it is important to align logistics structures, processes and incentives, especially when making major changes involving those components. Traditionally, cost, quality, and service have served as prioritized performance indicators for supply chains, but lately risk is also taken into conside

The free energy of interaction between two nanometric clay platelets immersed in an electrolyte solution has been calculated using Monte Carlo simulations as well as direct integration of the configurational integral. Each platelet has been modeled as a collection of charged spheres carrying a unit charge-the face of a platelet contains negative charges, and the edge, positive charges. The calcula

Looking from a PR perspective, sport can be seen as a microcosm of social life, and be used to reveal underlying values as power relations in society. This qualitative case study concerned itself with the social identity construction of female athletes and the effect of social change on this identity, in order to analyse gender issues in society. While taking a constructionist approach, the theore

Osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts (OCs) are involved in the bone production and resorption, which are crucial in bone homeostasis. OC hyperactivation plays a role in the exaggerated bone resorption of diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteolytic tumor metastases. This work stems from the finding that OCs can express B7h (ICOS-Ligand), which is the ligand of the ICOS T

Popular Abstract in Swedish Systemisk skleros (SSc) är en relativt ovanlig reumatologisk sjukdom som kan engagera många av kroppens organ. Sjukdomen kallas ibland också för sklerodermi. Typiskt för sjukdomen är att huden omvandlas till fibros och blir hård och stram över olika delar av kroppen. Typiskt för sjukdomen är också att drabbade patienter har försämrad funktion i sina blodkärl, framförallSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic rheumatic disease with significant mortality and morbidity. Different estimations of disease prevalence and incidence have been presented from various parts of the world. While lung involvement is a common cause of SSc-related death, a majority of SSc patients suffer from symptoms originating in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By combining data from a popu

Bränsleceller är ett intressant alternativ till förbränningsmotorer då bränsleceller har en högre effektivitet, är miljövänligare samt tystare. Bränslen som diesel, bensin samt det undersökta bränslet Jet A1, innehåller olika svårreagerade svavelföreningar. Problemet med bränslena är att de har ett relativt högt svavelinnehåll. Svavelföreningarna riskerar att förgifta katalysatorerna i de nedströ

This thesis mainly explores how the molecular mobility of lipid and protein components in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), varies with different conditions and upon adding foreign compounds. These studies require methods that makes it possible to detect and characterize the minor amount of fluid components in the highly ordered solid SC sample with resolved molecular info

Ändrade levnadsvanor i västerländska länder har lett till en ökning av sjukdomar så som IBS, infektioner i mag- och tarmkanal och allergier. Det har dessutom observerats att mikrofloran förändrats och goda bakterier så som Limosilactobacillus reuteri försvunnit. Mag- och tarmkanalen har därmed förlorat sina goda soldater mot patogena fiender med dysfunktionell balans som resultat. Därför är det inThis master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use
