Summary This master thesis evaluates the benefits of using multi-echelon control instead of single-echelon control of a multi-echelon inventory system. The multi-echelon inventory system studied in this thesis is a one-warehousemultiple- retailer inventory system. Multi-echelon inventory control is defined as a method to optimize the inventory system by taking the interdependencies between differe
Macaneta spit is located about 30km north of Maputo, Mozambique, with the Indian Ocean on the east side and Incomáti River on the west side of the spit, composing an interesting and vulnerable area from a hydrodynamic point of view. Few studies regarding coastal processes are done in the area and changes of the morphology could result in breaching of the spit and thereby affect both accessibility
Studies about profession have shown that a profession is not homogeneous, but consists of various segments. These segments have some interests and goals in common, but also differ from one another regarding these interests and goals. The differences in interests between the segments can result in a competition about whose interest are more important. Furthermore an important part of the competitio
Optimering av sulfatinnehållet hos blandcement Betong är ett av världens mest använda byggnadsmaterial, men visste du att betongindustrin står för hela 5-8 % av världens totala koldioxidutsläpp? Tillverkningen av cementet till betongen står för en stor andel av utsläppen, men det finns material som kan ersätta en del av cementet för att ta fram mer miljövänliga blandcement.Abstract The production of concrete has a large environmental impact because of the carbon dioxide emissions from cement production. To reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, part of ordinary portland cement can be replaced with different supplementary cementitious materials to create blended cements. Supplementary cementitious materials are often waste products from other industries, such as fly as
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the development of the agriculture in the county of Skåne (Scania) and to see if there are explanations to be found why the agricultural land is exploited today. By theories from human ecology I discuss the interconnections between human, nature and society both in a historical and a present perspective. Focus is on how the landscape, humans an

A combination of acoustic trapping and impedance spectroscopy for micrometer-sized objects is here presented for the first time. Acoustic trapping has proven to be a well-functioning method for non-contact immobilization and positioning of particles or cells in microfluidic channels. The combination with impedance spectroscopy allows for simultaneous electrical measurements on the trapped objects.
VAD HAR DEN SOCIALA HÅLLBARHETEN MED KLIMATUTMANINGARNA ATT GÖRA? Frågan låter mer disparat än vad den egentligen är. Forskning och praktik visar att det finns en direkt kausalitet mellan de två. Att ett fokus på social hållbarhet kan förbättra relationen till hur vi uppfattar och hanterar klimatutmaningarna men också ge direkta återkopplingar. Det går inte att utesluta att med en utökad kunskapsToday, the concept of sustainability is central in several housing projects, not to mention the many other socio-technological projects for which the concept is a directive. In this study I problematize the relation of the paradigm of sustainable development to one of its main “pillars”, the social dimension, and how this can relate to the greatest challenge of our generation – climate change. As
The purpose of this study is to compare the different short-term interest rate models, and to identify the better model within multiple countries. We selected three different types of data from the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. We compare the models with the historical data within these three countries, and figure out whether different countries could have their own best mode
Bakgrund De ledande världsekonomierna kom 2010 överens om att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till två graders ökning jämfört med förindustriella temperaturer i hopp om att det räcker för att undvika den värsta effekten av klimatförändringar. För att nå detta mål skulle det, enligt The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, krävas en absolut reducering av utsläpp med 41–72 procent till 2050Background The world’s governments agreed in 2010 to work towards limiting global warming to a two-degree warming compared to pre-industrial temperatures with the presumption that this would suffice in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Meeting this goal would, according to The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, require a reduction of global emissions by 41–72 percent by t
Hur ser framtidens jordbruk ut? Hur ska utmaningar som klimatförändringar och försämrade jordbruksmarker kunna hanteras samtidigt som tillräckliga mängder mat produceras för att föda den ständigt växande mänskliga befolkningen? Genom pyrolys, det vill säga upphettning av biomassa utan tillgång till syre, skapas biokol, ett stabilt material med hög porositet och mycket hög kolhalt. Biokol kan plöjaBiochar is a recalcitrant carbon rich solid product widely praised for the ability to improve soil fertility and sequester carbon, thereby improving crop yields and mitigating climate change. In addition to this, gaseous by products from production can be combusted for energy. Despite the recent global peaks in biochar research, studies focused on temperate regions are relatively scarce and few Eu
Klimatförändringar är idag ett faktum och påverkar både människor och vår omgivning världen över. I Lund i södra Sverige beräknas både mängden och frekvensen av extrema skyfall att öka i framtiden, som konsekvenser av klimatförändringarna, vilket skapar stor risk för översvämningar. Samtidigt växer befolkningen och fler bostäder behövs men när nya stadsdelar byggs så finns det risk för att permeabThe consequences of climate change affect our environment as well as humanity all over the world. For the city of Lund in southern Sweden, climate change consequences are seen as an increase of both intensity and frequency of extreme rain events, which causes an extensive risk for pluvial flooding. Simultaneously, the population and need for housing are growing. When building new districts, the pe
Objective: To determine if blood neurofilament light chain (NfL) protein can discriminate between Parkinson disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian disorders (APD) with equally high diagnostic accuracy as CSF NfL, and can therefore improve the diagnostic workup of parkinsonian disorders. Methods: The study included 3 independent prospective cohorts: the Lund (n = 278) and London (n = 117) cohorts,
Nanoparticles made from recombinant proteins offer excellent potential for several nanotechnological applications. However, only a very limited number of proteins are currently being used for such purposes due to limited availability and stability. Therefore, we have investigated the enamel matrix protein amelogenin as a new alternative protein for use as recombinant nanoparticles. Amelogenin is a
Six-membered cyclic carbonates are potential monomers for phosgene and/or isocyanate free polycarbonates and polyurethanes via ring-opening polymerization. A two-step process for their synthesis comprising lipase-catalyzed transesterificationofa polyol, trimethylolpropane(TMP) with dimethylcarbonate(DMC)in a solvent-free system followed by thermal cyclization was optimized to improve process effic
BACKGROUND: Activated mast cells can produce and release a number of inflammatory mediators involved in the pathophysiology of acute conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of activated tissue mast cells in the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: AP was induced by the intraductal infusion of 5 per cent sodium tau
Hiphop is a culture that has grown among youth the last decades. Its based of four elements: breakdance, graffiti, djing and rap and each of these have their own way to express position, social status, power and identity. I want to know more what Swedish hip-hop stands for among rappers and producers. Goal: The goal is to get insight of what hip-hop means for the rappers and how they use hip-hop
