Background: Supply Chain Management is receiving increased attention as companies are trying to remain competitive in a global and challenging environment. An important topic to consider when managing the supply chain is inventory control. Companies today have enormous investments in inventories, which means that there are potential improvements regarding tied up capital in raw materials, work-in-

It is challenging for the food industry to deliver products that satisfy consumers changing desires and needs. Baobab is a fruit that holds potential for the development of trendy food products due to its rich nutritional profile and unique rheology. Unlike most fruits, it contains a dry pulp with a moisture content of 11-12 % (Phytotrade, 2008). Despite these features, baobab has been overlooked

Abstract Habitat complexity is shown to be an important driver of invertebrate diversity on impacted coral reefs when the diversity supported by a comparative unit of habitat complexity is compared to that of a pristine coral reef. The more structurally complex pristine reef does not support the conventionally expected greatest amount of diversity, instead an upper limit threshold to habitat comp

The smallest of things can make a big impact Nanoparticles (NPs) are very small particles that range from 1-200 nanometers. To put this in perspective, envision a football. A NP is approximately as small compared to a football as the football is to the earth. Considering how small these particles are you can imagine that they have unique abilities to travel throughout living systems. The use of t

Klimatförändringar är en av dagens stora utmaningar; en utmaning med betydande konsekvenser som kommer att påverka alla länder på olika sätt om vi inte kan komma överens om ett sätt att motverka den globala uppvärmningen genom att stabilisera utsläppen av växthusgaser. Ett globalt problem kräver internationell respons, men den internationella klimat-regimen har misslyckats med att leverera tillräcClimate change is one of today’s major challenges; a challenge with significant consequences that will affect all countries in different ways if a way to combat global warming by stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions cannot be agreed on. A global problem calls for an international response; however, the international climate regime has failed to deliver adequate results. Currently, states represent

Det pågår ständigt en utveckling för att minska både risker för miljö och hälsa inom den kemiska industrin. Oftast handlar det om att förbättra existerande processer eller att helt enkelt hitta nya vägar till samma produkt och i grunden ligger forskning bakom framgångarna.Polyurethane is a widely used polymer with a lot of different applications due to its versatility and often resilient properties. The polymeris often prepared as a two component system consisting of polyols and isocyanates and can be cured at relatively low temperatures. Even though the formed polymer is hazardless the isocyanate used in the manufacture is dangerous in itself, but even more so is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens vårdsystem står inför många stora utmaningar. Många av dem är relaterade till komplexa vårdbehov hos den allt större andelen sköra äldre personer. Denna andel ökar samtidigt som många vårdorganisationer har krav på sig att minska kostnaderna. Dessa äldre personer har ofta flera sjukdomar samtidigt och de har vanligtvis kontakter med många olika vårdgivare, på fleThe overall aim of this thesis was to investigate healthcare utilisation patterns and to explore the effects of a case management intervention for frail older people on healthcare utilisation and costs in relation to utility. A further aim was to explore the older people’s and case managers’ experiences of the intervention. Study I was a quantitative study comprising ten age cohorts aged between 6

The right to damage in antitrust cases within the European Community arises from the case Francovich decided by the ECJ. The case established that the individual's right to compensation could be based on Community law. The case also established that the national courts are required to apply the right to compensation regardless of the position of the national law. The first case to follow the p

Vitamin D (25OHD) is essential for maintaining calcium homeostasis and inadequate levels have been associated with negative musculoskeletal as well as extraskeletal effects. Individuals at especially high risk of developing hypovitaminosis D are the elderly. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the association between 25OHD insufficiency (25OHD <50 nmol/L) and fractures, frailty and mortality

Binas surrande är en viktig komponent för känslan av sommar. Men, förutom många hyllmeter av litteratur om några vanliga arter av honungsbi och humlor, vet vi än idag förvånansvärt lite om många av de tjugofem tusen arter vi kallar bin. Vissa humlor överlever Grönlands minusgrader och hårda vindbyar, medan de i Amazonas snarare älskar skogens höga temperatur och fuktighet. Vissa arter bor i stora The buzzing flight of bees is a popular summer hit. Yet, outside of a few familiar species of honeybees and bumblebees, these fantastic little creatures are still mostly unknown. With about twenty-five thousand species, bees are a very diverse group. They can be found in drastically different habitats. For example, some kinds of bumblebees endure the freezing temperatures and windswept tundra of G

The main goal with this thesis is to develop a method to maximize the fuel efficiency [ton/l] in construction machines, while fulfilling the desired productivity [ton/h]. This is achieved by focusing on two of the main influencers; the machine concept evaluation and the development of operator assist systems. To be able to perform a concept evaluation that is unbiased from control engineering expe

The book "Aqua-ecologic Functional Zoning of Songhua River Basin: Application Manual" introduces the technical methodology and detailed application instructions for aqua-ecologic functional zoning in Songhua River Basin in a systematic way in nine Chapters. Based on a general introduction of concept and in-depth contents of aqua-ecologic zoning and its methodology, this application manual addresse

Background: The environment where we humans live provides the fundamental requirements we need to survive – food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe. The quality of these elements has a major impact on human health, as they can contain substances that are detrimental to health. These we call environmental pollutants. This thesis explores the effects of exposure to air pollutants in particul

In nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceuticals can be administered for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in theragnostics, a strategy that combines both diagnosis and therapy. This can be achieved by using similar radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and radionuclide therapy, which enables highly personalised disease management. One theragnosti

Lung transplantation (LTx) is an established therapeutic option for end-stage pulmonary disease. However, it remains restricted by donor lung scarcity. Donor's lungs are rejected frequently due to severe lung damage caused by aspiration or neurogenic pulmonary oedema that can all lead to acute lung injury (ALI), and more severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung transplant patients f

Plasma phosphorylated-tau 217 (p-tau217) is currently the most promising biomarker for reliable detection of Alzheimer's disease pathology. Various p-tau217 assays have been developed, but their relative performance is unclear. We compared key plasma p-tau217 tests using cross-sectional and longitudinal measures of amyloid-β (Aβ)-PET, tau-PET and cognition as outcomes and benchmarked them against
