Problem description: Warehousing is central in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, and considered essential for the success, or failure, of businesses today. In general, warehouses account for a large share of the company logistics costs. Consequently, there is a need for warehouses to operate smoother, faster and more accurate. Within warehousing, the most labor-intensive and costly ware
Introduction: There is a common understanding that driving under the influence of alcohol is associated with higher risk of being involved in crashes with injuries and possible fatalities as the outcome. Various countermeasures have therefore from time to time been taken by the authorities to prevent drunk driving. One of them has been the alcohol interlock. Up to now, interlocks have mainly been
There are a number of factors which influence an objective assessment of inventive step i.e. the skills of the Examiner, the hindsight knowledge, the guidelines for examination and not the least the ability to rightly define a fictive reference which delimits the obvious from the non-obvious. Once this fictive reference, known by the name as the skilled person in the art, has been established the
Title: The Service Terminator – when people are being replaced by machines University: Lund University, Campus Helsingborg, Department of Service Management Course: SMKK01, Service Management, Bachelor’s degree, 15 hp, 2012 Seminar date: May 29, 2012 Authors: Sanna Axbom, Maria Ingstad, Emma Nilsson and Lina Sonesson Supervisors: Christian Fuentes and Rickard Ek Keywords: Self-service technologies
An information system is basically a way to store and process information. All such systems are built from an information model, in essence a model for how to organize data in order to make it possible to process, thus turning it into information. Today there exist advanced information systems for performing spatial analysis (GIS) and to model buildings (BLM-systems). At present the development of
The adoption of the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage 2001 plugs a gap in the otherwise comprehensive international liability and compensation regime for ship-source pollution. Although liability for bunkers pollution from tankers was partially regulated by other civil liability regimes, bunker spills pollution from other types of vessels was left uncovere
Bakgrund:
Samhällsbyggandet har kritiserats för bristande konkurrens, kvalitet, effektivitet och kompetens. För att effektivisera byggprocessen och sänka byggkostnaderna krävs medvetenhet om logistiken och dess påverkan på en byggarbetsplats. Andra företeelser som påverkar kostnader och effektivitet på byggarbetsplatser är samverkan, kommunikation och planering. En av de planer som tas fram fö
Composite materials, i.e, mixtures of two or more materials, are commonly used in industry, because they often have outstanding properties in comparison with the original materials. In many cases the inhomogeneities are on a very fine scale, which makes it difficult to perform a full numerical simulation of the material. On the fine scale we have rapid oscillations in the material parameters, but
What is Financial Assistance? Quantitative studies made on Swedish social workers (Stranz 2007 et al) handling means-tested benefits have shown that decisions taken by social workers are often hard to predict. Hence, means-tested benefits seem to be characterised by a lack of consistent application of rules. Contextual factors for the social worker administering the benefits (such as gender, age
Ericsson India is looking into the possibility to enter a new business in the country. The business is a “telecom site leasing” service which would be included in Ericsson’s service portfolio. Services are an increasingly important part of the company’s total revenues. Demand for so called turn-key services, meaning full implementation and control over a customer’s network, is an example of a serv
Under vissa typer av operationer, till exempel då kärlen kring hjärtat opereras, använder sig läkare av en speciell typ av röntgenmaskin för att orientera sig inuti kroppen, så kallad genomlysning. För att undgå att öppna upp bröstkorgen på patienten går läkarna in med små verktyg i kärlen via ljumskarna och upp till hjärtat. Eftersom läkarna står så nära patienten träffar en del av strålningen de"Background: Cataract (opacity of the lens of the eye) has always been thought of as a deterministic effect. That is, that there is a threshold dose below which damage does not occur. However, recent studies suggest a lower threshold and the question whether there is any threshold at all has been raised. One situation that leads to special concern, if this turns out to be the case, is during
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I det svenska urberget finns stora mängder av granit och andra magmatiska bergarter. Dessa magmatiska bergarter förekommer i både deformerade och odeformerade varianter. Majoriteten av de magmatiska bergarterna anses ha bildats genom att en oceanplatta har glidit ned under en kontinentplatta med hjälp av spridningsprocesser vid oceanryggarna. Oceanplattan smälteFine grained inclusions in the 1578 Ma Nordingrå rapakivi massif have been studied with respect to petrography, geochemistry and zircon age in order to see whether they belong to the same intrusion event as the granite, and whether they are different in mineral compositions or geochemical characteristics compared to the host granite. Such differences could indicate that fractionation processes hav
Klimatförändringen är ett fenomen som på ett aldrig tidigare skådat sätt kommer att sätta press på rättssystem världen runt. Det finns ett behov av att utforma rättsliga instrument och institutioner för att hantera förändringar i miljön men också av att utforma själva lagstiftningen att vara flexibel och anpassningsbar i förhållande till föränderliga förhållanden i naturens tillstånd. För att säkeClimate change is a phenomenon that in an unprecedented way will put pressure on the legal systems worldwide. Not only is there a need for designing the necessary legal instruments and institutions to handle changes in the environment but also for the law itself to be flexible and able to adapt under preconditions in nature which are uncertain. To ensure that the legislation is resilient enough to
SCA Packaging, as a provider of transport packaging, wants further knowledge of the logistics processes a corrugated board box undergoes. This thesis describes the development, the theory and the trial of a method for modelling logistic processes. The method is based on a break down of the packaging process, and analysis of the resulting components. The packaging process in its entirety is the ma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personlig assistans i praktiken Beredskap, initiativ och vänskaplighet Bakgrund, syfte och perspektivval Denna avhandling handlar om hur det går till att realisera personlig assistans, en insats för människor med omfattande funktionsnedsättningar. Serviceformen personlig assistans, som myntades av den amerikanska Independent Living –rörelsen i slutet av 1960 talet, uPersonal assistance is a user-directed service that was founded by a section of the disability movement, namely the American Independent Living movement, in the late 1960s. Today, the concept and ideology of personal assistance services (PAS) has spread worldwide, and constitutes a part of the support system for people with disabilities in many countries. The service differs from several other pub
Celiac disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is precipitated in genetically predisposed individuals by ingestion of food containing gluten or similar proteins that are present in wheat, rye and barley. The disease might present with symtoms such as malnutrition, diarrhea or abdominal bloating, but a large proportion of those afflicted by the
The influence of exciton-vibrational coupling on the optical and transport properties of molecular aggregates is an old problem that gained renewed interest in recent years. On the experimental side, various nonlinear spectroscopic techniques gave insight into the dynamics of systems as complex as photosynthetic antennae. Striking evidence was gathered that in these protein-pigment complexes quant
The medical imaging technique called “ultrasound optical tomography” (UOT) entails light scattered in tissue that is given spatial information by interacting with an ultrasound field, thus allowing for molecular information to be imaged with ultrasonic resolution. This thesis discusses how UOT can be implemented, with most attention put toward the implementation using spectral-hole-burning filters
