Purpose - This paper aims to empirically explore demand-related information sharing in the extended supply chain. Design/methodology/approach - Through a single, embedded case design, a range of methods are used to collect data from companies representing three different supply chain tiers, including focal company, first-tier suppliers and first-tier customers. The collected data are analysed thro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cerebral pares (CP) är den vanligaste orsaken till motorisk funktionsnedsättning hos barn och ungdomar med en prevalens på 2-3/1000. CP innebär en livslång funktionsnedsättning och den förväntade överlevnaden är nästan densamma som för befolkningen i stort. CP karaktäriseras av svårigheter med rörelser och postural förmåga och symtomen varierar från knappt märkbara tillCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor disability in children and adolescents with a prevalence of 2-3/1000. CP is characterized by disorders of posture and movement with impairments ranging from mild to severe. The ability to control posture is an important prerequisite for all voluntary movements. A sustained asymmetric posture predisposes to progressive deformities in people with
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodförgiftning är en spridd och svår infektion och har en hög dödlighet. Skador på blodkärlen är en viktig del i sjukdomsutvecklingen. Glykosaminoglykaner (GAG) är negativt laddade kolhydrater som bland annat förekommer på blodkärlens insida och här utgör gränsskiktet mot blodbanan. På denna plats är GAG betydelsefullt för blodkärlens blodproppshämmande effekt, för traThe endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. At this location these molecules contribute to the adhesion and transport of leucocytes to inflamed tissue, the anticoagulation as well as the transport of fluid across the vessel wall. All these functions are dis
Submerged breakwaters (SBWs) are becoming a popular option for coastal protection, mainly due to their low aesthetic impact on the natural environment. However, SBWs have rarely been employed for coastal protection in the past and therefore, their efficacy remains largely unknown. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the structural and environmental conditions that govern the
This thesis focuses on cognitive impairment in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) survivors with the main aim to evaluate possible effects by targeted temperature management. Secondary aims are to describe the prevalence of cognitive impairment in a large group of OHCA-survivors, the related symptoms of psychological distress and the actual effect of cognitive impairment for the patient’s abili
This paper presents a novel control architecture for hybrid stiff and compliant control for minimally invasive surgery which satisfies the constraints of zero lateral velocity at the entry point for serial manipulators. For minimally invasive surgery it is required that there is no sideways motion at the point where the robots enter the abdomen. This is necessary to avoid any damage to the patient
Although many studies have investigated the role of customer orientation and learning orientation on a firm's performance in small, medium, and large enterprises, the literature provides little empirical evidence about the role of customer orientation and learning orientation within the hotel industry. This current work investigates the influence of these variables on new service development and t
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are challenging as they represent a morphologically and genetically heterogeneous groups of tumors. A multitude of genetic changes, often in the form of fusion genes, were recognized during the 1980's and now constitute a diagnostic lexicon in several STS subtypes, whereas many of the more common subtypes are genetically complex without distinct alterations. Refined STS
The transfer of heat between electrons and phonons plays a key role for thermalmanagement in future nanowire-based devices, but only a few experimental measurements of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in nanowires are available. Here, we combine experimental temperature measurements on an InAs/InP heterostructure nanowire system with finite element modeling to extract information on heat flow media
Recension av bok om mottagandet av fångar från koncentrationsläger som kom till Sverige våren 1945.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by tremor, muscle rigidity and bradykinesia, which is primarily due to the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Currently, patients are primarily treated with L-dopa and other drugs that enhance dopaminergic function. Those are effective during the first years, but eventually the majority of patients
Atherosclerosis, thickening of the major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. This thesis contains studies on CD4+ helper subsets and studies on antibodies against methylglyoxal-modified apolipoprotein B100 (MGO-ApoB100)
We present results from stopped beam rare isotope spectroscopic investigations at the GSI (RISING) experiment based on the detection of gamma-ray transitions following the beta decay of Pd-94. A comparison between the measured low-lying level scheme of Rh-94 and the prediction from shell-model calculations reveals the important roles of the g(7/2) and g(9/2) orbitals in explaining the structural f
Thin metallic nanowires are highly promising candidates for plasmonic waveguides in photonic and electronic devices. We have observed that light from the end of a silver nanowire, following excitation of plasmons at the other end of the wire, is emitted in a cone of angles peaking at nominally 45-60 degrees from the nanowire axis, with virtually no light emitted along the direction of the nanowire
Statistical analysis of long-term morphological data on coastal sedimentary features provides important information on the processes governing these features and their evolution in space and time. In this paper, seasonal, yearly and decadal (i.e. long-term) behavior of coastal morphological features is derived from field data by using both simple and advanced statistical techniques. The sedimentar
In the last two decades, the Swedish welfare state has been radically transformed in a neo-liberal direction, including extensive decentralisation and marketisation of the education sector with significant consequences for the work and professional identities of its teachers. Teacher education has also been directly included in this transformation. The present article addresses the changes that ha
