Problemdiskussion: Sektorn för olja och gas är inte särskilt mogen när det gäller kunskapen om försörjningskedjor. Det valda företaget för fallstudien, Maersk Drilling (MD), har problem med ett splittrat IT-landskap och dålig datakvalitet. Det har orsakat problem med ineffektiva och komplexa processer där det krävs onödig kommunikation, parallell inmatning av data, etc. Inom upphandlingar och inkProblem Discussion: The oil and gas sector is not very mature in terms of supply chain management. The chosen case company, Maersk Drilling (MD), has problems with a split IT-landscape with poor data quality. It has caused problems with inefficient and complex processes with much communication required, parallel information and more. Within procurement it translates to problems in spend managemen
Domestic violence is an increasingly common problem in our society. In 2012 there were 28,400 cases reported of assault against women over 18 and almost half of these women reported having been abused by a loved one. In support of these women there is sheltered accommodation around the country, about half of Sweden's municipalities have a shelter for women and these are conducted both municipa
The study investigates the difficulties small companies experience in implementing a standardized environmental management system or achieving an Eco-label. Further the study evaluates what should be included in an environmental management system to establish credibility. The market for Eco-labels and certifications has generally been adapted for large companies, but since the environmental awaren
Studiens syfte var att undersöka om självevaluering påverkar kvalitén på idéer vid idégenerering. Skillnaden mellan självutvärdering och expertutvärdering undersöktes och Geneplore validerades. Experimentet hade 59 deltagare, 30 deltagare i 14 experimentgrupper och 29 deltagare i 13 kontrollgrupper. Idéerna från gruppen som gjorde självutvärdering hade ett signifikant lägre nyhetsvärde, men det fa
The wolf has been considered functionally and genetically extinct in Sweden for a hundred years, but since the 1970’s there has been a gradual revival of the species. This reintroduction of the wolf into the Swedish society has been teemed with great tensions and bad sentiments. This research takes the normative position that news media has a responsibility in communicating the complexities associ
Popular science summary: Predictive model for unbound brain-to-plasma concentration ratio Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic interface evolved to protect the brain from exposure to toxic xenobiotics and to maintain homeostasis. Distribution of drugs across BBB is critical for any drug discovery project. A drug designed for a target in brain has to pass through the BBB in sufficient concentr
Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death in the world, which killed nearly 17 million people in 2011. For this reason, research in Cardiovascular diseases are of the up-most importance. In this thesis, real-time Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging data is used to create simulated cardiac cycles for multiple phases of the respiratory cycle. By exploring image classification o

This thesis is a feminist-critical study of the marital metaphor in Hosea 1-3. My prime interest is the woman and her identity. I ask whether she is a prostitute or married to the prophet. My conclusion is that the text does not strife to tell us her identity, she is merely a prop in the prophets play. Her prostitution is there to shame and to blame other men. These men are the ruling class of Isr
This master’s thesis investigates the possibilities of detecting the rhopalia of box jellyfishes, i.e. the eyes of the box jellyfish. Each box jellyfish has four rhopalia and each of the rhopalium consists of six light sensing eyes which they use to interpret the surroundings. In this project we have worked with fifteen film sequences all consisting of different box jellyfishes and recorded under
A selection of well known period luminosity relations for cepheid variables are studied under the assumption that cepheid variables have a mean vertical velocity of zero in the galactic plane. Proper motion data from Hipparcos and Thyco-2 catalogues are coupled with the distances obtained from applying the period luminosity relations on a database of known classical cepheids to calculate the veloc
Höjningar och sänkningar av den globala havsnivån under pleistocen och holocen har framför allt styrts av glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorer, direkt kopplade till de cykliska ökningarna respektive minskningarna av Jordens istäcken. Förutom de dominerande glacio-isostatiska och glacio-eustatiska faktorerna har flera andra komponenter påverkat havsnivån, vilket komplicerar de regionalRise and fall of the global sea level during Pleistocene and Holocene are mainly caused by glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors directly linked to the cyclic increase and decrease of the Earth’s ice sheets. Apart from the dominating glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors, several other components have influenced the global sea level, which complicates the regional sea level curves of
Consumption of organic food products in Spain has not kept pace with the expansion of production. Supporting the consumption of locally-produced organic food would increase the sustainability of food consumption in Spain. The objective of this study is to analyse the policy obstacles to an increase in organic food consumption. Data collection is based on a document analysis of governmental measure
In this paper we study how to update the solution of the linear system Ax = b after the matrix A is changed by addition or deletion of rows or columns. Studying the QR Factorization of the system, more specifically, the factorization created by the Householder reflection algorithm, we find that we can split the algorithm in two parts. The result from the first part is trivial to update and is the
