In the aftermath of the terror attacks on New York in September 2001 several iniativies are set up to protect global supply chains from larger disruptions by antagonistic threats such as terrorism or piracy. Many security initiatives such as the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) code, the Container Security Initiative (CSI) or the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) are targeting the mari

Background The business environment is constantly changing, and the way companies do business is continuously changing, which is highly apparent in the automotive industry. Adaption is a fact for firms who want to stay in the game, but what will give a company a competitive advantage in this mess of constant changes? The above-mentioned are pointing towards a new era; the age of the customer. In t

In Mozambique, despite considerable investments in the promotion of drinking water supplies, the access to quality water of sufficient quantity for the majority of people is still far from optimal. Current official figures report that nearly half of the country´s population and about 45 per cent of urban residents do not have access to safe water. As a result of poor performance or absence of publ

In later time many companies have faced a major strategically change of focus and companies that have previous acted as traditional product manufacturers now describe themselves as providers of complete solutions. Tetra Pak Processing Systems, operating in the liquid food processing industry, has faced an increased level of competition the past years. The globalization of the industry means that c

In Escherichia coli the codons CGG, AGG, UGG or GGG (NGG codons) but not GGN or GNG (where N is non-G) are associated with low expression of a reporter gene, if located at positions +2 to +5. Induction of a lacZ reporter gene with any one of the NGG codons at position +2 to +5 does not influence growth of a normal strain, but growth of a strain with a defective peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase (Pth) enzyme

Spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) have been shown to have excellent decoding thresholds due to the threshold saturation effect. Furthermore, even for moderate block lengths, the simulation results demonstrate a very good bit error rate performance in the waterfall region. In this paper, we discuss the effect of spatial coupling on the performance of TCs in the finite block-length regime.

In today´s supply chains, it often ends by the consumer but as seen with reverse logistics the consumers are the starting point on the reverse flow. Reverse logistics is the opposite route from the usual supply chain and the literature stresses the importance of designing a reverse logistics network, where reverse distribution is essential to reach efficiency. The purpose of this study aims to ela

In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using a wavelet transform to compress individual frames in a video sequence controlled by points of gaze coordinates collected from different viewers by an eye-tracker. Unlike most eye-tracking controlled compression approaches, we make the compression "off-line" and not in real time. Our results indicate that the distribution of gaze-points is "comp

The Swedish Quality Registry for Pain rehabilitation (SQRP) is a well-established clinical registry for adult patients with complex chronic pain conditions. SQRP registers patient-reported outcome measures from a majority of specialist chronic pain units/departments in Sweden. Up to four International Classification of Diseases version 10 (ICD-10) diagnoses can be registered in SQRP. The aim of th

Chatbots are increasingly being adapted as substitutes to humans in customer service. As the level of adoption increases, it becomes more important to understand the phenomenon of robots replacing humans – a new chapter in the rising digital world. Earlier research has explored and aroused criticism against the trend of automation and digitalization, urging companies to move towards a more customeAbstract Title: ”Is this what you mean? – No, it really isn't!” – An analysis of consumers' dissatisfaction in encounters with chatbots in customer service Seminar date: January 10th, 2024 Course: FEKH29, Business Administration: Bachelor Degree Project in Marketing Undergraduate Level, 15 ECTS-credits Authors: Emma Axelsson, Annie Bolmgren and Julia Krusell Advisor: Sofia Ulver Keywords:

We are living in an age of information in which organizations are crumbling under the pressure of exponentially growing data. Increased data quality ensures better decision making, thereby enabling companies to stay competitive in the market. To improve data quality, it is imperative to identify all the characteristics that describe data. And, building on one characteristic results in compromising

How can increased demands for food and fibre be combined with conservation of biodiversity which often is threatened by agricultural intensification and expansion? This project focus on the relative benefits of segregating or integrating conservation and agricutlural production (land sparing versus land sharing). On one hand it has been suggested that agriculture should be intensive on existing ar
