Coordinated inventory management is not widely used among companies today. Not even modern companies, which should have resources and ability to always be in the forefront of technological developments, prioritizes models that in theory can provide substantial savings. This report illustrates that a slightly more advanced method to calculate the safety stock can increase the service accuracy and s
Den 1 januari 2020 blev FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter svensk lag, vilket ytterligare skulle stärka barnets rättigheter. Före inkorporeringen hade det bland annat påtalats brister när det gällde genomslaget för barns rättigheter enligt konventionen i Sverige. Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka om barns rättigheter enligt barnkonventionen, med särskilt fokus på artiklarna barnetOn the 1st of January 2020, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law to further strengthen the rights of the child. Prior to the incorporation, deficiencies had been pointed out when it came to the impact of children's rights according to the Child Convention in Sweden. The overall purpose of the thesis is to investigate whether children's rights accor
This study aimed at exploring employers' understanding of compassion fatigue, the risk factors contributing to compassion fatigue afflicting employees’ and how employers' leadership style and approach determines how they manage and treat compassion fatigue in the workplace. This study used a qualitative method by interviewing 7 employers’ working at different social services in Sweden. The
Sammanfattning I Sverige råder fri bevisprövning med fri bevisvärdering. Det innebär att inga formella regler uppställs för hur ett bevis ska värderas eller vilka metoder som ska tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Således är det teoretiskt möjligt att vid en ord mot ord situation finna det ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort som åklagaren gör gällande. Trots detta är det Summary In Sweden there is a free sifting of evidence with a free evaluation of evidence. This means that no formal rules are imposed on how evidence should be valued or the methods to be applied by the court at the evaluation of evidence. It is theoretically possible to find it beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made as the prosecutor alleges in a situation where one word stands against ano
Modern agricultural practices give rise to environmental issues such as the eutrophication of waters (e.g. rivers and oceans). Increased knowledge and understanding of the negative consequences of nutritional leakage have led to comprehensive mitigation measures, one of which is the construction of wetlands. In order to achieve successful, cost-effective and sustainable measures it is essential to
IntroductionThis contribution presents recent research results on segmental andsuprasegmental cues to word-internal and sentence-level structure. InSwedish, prosody is tightly connected to morphological and syntacticstructure. For example, every word stem is pronounced with either a low or ahigh tone. The stem tone depends on what follows the stem. Thus, if asingular suffix is connected to the wor
The Tile Calorimeter is the hadron calorimeter covering the central region of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Approximately 10,000 photomultipliers collect light from scintillating tiles acting as the active material sandwiched between slabs of steel absorber. This paper gives an overview of the calorimeter’s performance during the years 2008–2012 using cosmic-ray muon events an
Aim: “Early” withdrawal of life support therapies (eWLST) within the first 3 calendar days after resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA) is discouraged. We evaluated a prospective multicenter registry of patients admitted to hospitals after resuscitation from CA to determine predictors of eWLST and estimate its impact on outcomes. Methods: CA survivors enrolled from 2012–2017 in the International C
Wireless communication is evolving rapidly with ever more connected devicesand significantly increasing data rates. Since the invention of the smartphoneand the mass introduction of mobile apps, users demand more andmore traffic to stream music, watch high-definition video or to simply browsethe internet. This tremendous growth is more pronounced by the introductionof the Internet of Things (IoT)
In the present study the time-course of DNA fragmentation following insulin-induced hypoglycemia was examined. In situ localization of DNA breaks were studied by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotin- deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labelling method, and the temporal profile of DNA-fragmentation by agarose gel electrophoresis. Cell nuclei displayed terminal deoxynucleotidyl
This dissertation is a study in empirical macroeconomic history. The first two papers concern themselves with the functional distribution of income. The third paper is an examination of global real interest rates, and the final paper examines city growth in Sweden over the last two hundred years. While this thesis is not about secular stagnation per se, every articles is related in one way or the
Rapid advances in the development of sequencing technologies, numbers of commercial providers and diminishing costs have made DNA-based identification and diagnostics increasingly accessible to doctors and laboratories, eliminating the need for local investments in expensive technology and training or hiring of skilled technicians. However, reliable and comparable molecular analyses of bacteria in
Purpose/Objective(s): Over 30% of advanced prostate cancers harbor a predominance of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) differentiation. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has numerous limitations in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa-adeno), however there is no data that exists outside of isolated single person case reports to assess the utility of PET to restage and monitor
Nondisplaced or minimally displaced femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with internal fixation, because of its less invasive and less time-consuming nature, as well its retention of the biological properties of the hip. Internal fixation with screws or pins is the current clinical routine in Sweden. However, the authors of some recent studies in elderly patients have suggested that the use
The immune system is of central importance to clear-off pathogens in order to keep an organism healthy. In vertebrates, the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a genomic region that holds key genes involved in adaptive immunity and in particular in the antigen presenting process. The presentation relies on MHC class I (MHC-I) and MHC class II (MHC-II) molecules that are encoded by MHC-I and
Chondrocytes isolated from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma were incubated in culture with [1-3H]glucose for 30 min to 8 h. Labeled proteoglycans were isolated, treated with borohydride under alkaline conditions, and the three complex sugar structures purified: N- and O-linked oligosaccharides and chondroitin sulfate chains. The amount of incorporated radioactivity into each component sugar was analyz
Miljontals människor världen över arbetar som gatuförsäljare, utom räckhåll för lagen. Eftersom verksamheten ses som illegal lever försäljarna under ett ständigt hot om att avhysas och att få sina varor konfiskerad. Olika strategier för formalisering, det vill säga stegvis legalisering, förespråkas och tillämpas, av såväl internationella utvecklingsorganisationer som regeringar, för att stärka gatMillions of people worldwide work outside the law as street vendors in order to earn a living. However, they often work in fear of police evictions and confiscations since their work is in many places considered illegal. In this context, formalization (steps towards legalization) is often portrayed as a model for empowerment that allows poor street vendors to improve their well-being. Formalizatio
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of first-time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) in patients with preoperatively negative sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasound. METHODS: Data were gathered prospectively in a multicenter database for quality control in parathyroid surgery. Between 2004 and 2008, 3,158 patients underwent first-time surgery for sp
The propagation channel determines the fundamental basis of wireless communications, as well as the actual performance of practical systems. Therefore, having good channel models is a prerequisite for developing the next generation wireless systems. This thesis first investigates one of the main channel model building blocks, namely clusters. To understand the concept of clusters and channel chara
