Companies always strives to acheive as eective inventory control as possible. At the same time, a suciently high delivery accuracy to satisfy the customer is pursued. One prerequisite for successfully accomplishing this is to anticipate customer demand in advance. An approximation of the demand in advance is called forecasting. Forecasting implies that dierent techniques are used to predict future

This study is about changes of institutional values in the procedur of public procurement. The results show that there is a change of focus from government values to market values in the policies and recommendations from the Swedish Competition Authority. The method of the study is a text analysis of the material presented on the homepage of the Swedish Competion Authority and also covers analysis

Kärnvapen är i allra högsta grad kraftfulla militära och politiska vapen. På grund av detta är frågan om dess legalitet i internationell rätt sedan länge omdebatterad. När frågan ställdes inför den internationella domstolen myntades ett nytt begrepp; ”statlig överlevnad”. Domstolens användning av begreppet väckte frågan om statlig överlevnad utgör ett exceptionellt undantag som kan rättfärdiga vå

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ur ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv redogöra för och diskutera framväxten av det internationella brottet folkmord (genocide). Raphael Lemkin myntade 1944 begreppet genocide. Han hade då också en genomtänkt definition av vad begreppet behövde innebära för att omfatta de illdåd som utförs i världen. Bakgrunden till hans engagemang grundade sig i det turkiskottomanska

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. In this report, twomethods of reducing this problemby le

Under what circumstances were the history produced and circulated? What was its significance for identity and ideology alike? The theoretical and analytical inspiration is drawn from P

We propose a conceptual model to explain the variation in species richness in local communities and in build-up of regional species pools over time. The idea is that the opportunity for new species to enter a community (its invasibility) determines the present richness of that community as well as the long-term build-up of a species pool by speciation and migration. We propose that a community's i

The free energy of interaction between two nanometric clay platelets immersed in an electrolyte solution has been calculated using Monte Carlo simulations as well as direct integration of the configurational integral. Each platelet has been modeled as a collection of charged spheres carrying a unit charge-the face of a platelet contains negative charges, and the edge, positive charges. The calcula

Supply chain management includes coordination and motivation of independently operating partners. Therefore, it is important to align logistics structures, processes and incentives, especially when making major changes involving those components. Traditionally, cost, quality, and service have served as prioritized performance indicators for supply chains, but lately risk is also taken into conside

The Yiddish language is over 1,000 years old and incorporates German, Slavic, and Hebrew elements. The prevalent view claims Yiddish has a German origin, whereas the opposing view posits a Slavic origin with strong Iranian and weak Turkic substrata. One of the major difficulties in deciding between these hypotheses is the unknown geographical origin of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazic Jews (AJs). An an
