Businesses today need to recognize that they have to be fast at realizing and exploiting new competitive advantages before the opportunity is lost. Instead of the traditional focus on price and quality, there is a shift towards the delivery of value to customers. This is strongly connected to the reduction of downtime of production and high reliability. Here the spare parts supply chain plays an i
In the State of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico exist abundant natural resource and excellent wind conditions. Currently in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca has an extensive area with wind farm projects due to their excellent wind speed conditions. A large wind energy plant – the Project Mareña Renovables that since their origins started in 2004 with Preneal Company. It was planned to
When making decisions regarding investments and planning of the distribution network, it is of great help to be able to calculate and analyze the reliability. The main interest is to study how many of the faults occur and the duration of these faults. The software Tekla NIS contains a module for calculation of the reliability of distribution systems, this is also known as reliability based network
Bygg- och anläggningsbranschen är, och kommer fortsatt att vara, en extremt viktig gren av det svenska näringslivet. Av konstanta och beräknade ökningar i befolkningsmängd följer nödvändiga satsningar på bostäder, infrastruktur och industrier. Det är därför av största vikt att den kontroll, alltså besiktning, som sker av byggen utförs enligt kontrakt och avtal samtidigt som denna är smidig, korrekThe construction industry has historically constituted, and will continue to constitute, an important part of the Swedish industry. Projected population increases will require important investments in housing, infrastructure and industry. It is therefore of upmost importance that construction surveying be conducted in an accurate, efficient and timely manner so as not to impede the delivery of the

Domstolarna ställs ofta inför problematiken att värdera muntliga utsagor. Ibland är en utsaga den enda bevisningen i ett mål och det är ytterst viktigt att bevisvärderingen genomförs på ett grundligt sätt. Det finns inga lagregler som styr hur bevisvärderingen ska gå till. Trots principen om fri bevisprövning finns det dock krav på objektivitet och att värderingen sker utifrån allmänna erfarenhetsCriminal courts often face the complexity that follows the analysis of verbal statements. In some cases a statement constitute the only evidence and it is vital to carry out a thorough valuation of the evidence. Despite the lack of written law and the principle of free trial of evidence there is still a demand for objectivity and the use of general knowledge. The Supreme Court has written out that
Background: The FRAX® algorithm quantifies a patient's 10-year probability of a hip or major osteoporotic fracture without taking an individual's balance into account. Balance measures assess the functional ability of an individual and the FRAX® algorithm is a model that integrates the individual patients clinical risk factors [not balance] and bone mineral density. Thus, clinical balance measures
Abstract This degree project examines how much carbon dioxide that emits during the construction phase of a road project. This is to make it possible to compare how the amount of carbon dioxide differentiates between traditional road construction and Swepave construction, which is PEAB’s alternative way to design roads. To make the comparison a calculation tool has been produced. To compare the am
BACKGROUND: The peritoneum is the second most common site of recurrence in colorectal cancer. Early detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) by imaging is difficult. Patients eventually presenting with clinically apparent PC have a poor prognosis. Median survival is only about five months if untreated and the benefit of palliative systemic chemotherapy is limited. Only a quarter of patients are
BACKGROUND: The filaggrin protein is important for skin barrier structure and function. Loss-of-function (null) mutations in the filaggrin gene FLG may increase dermal absorption of chemicals. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to clarify if dermal absorption of chemicals differs depending on FLG genotype. METHOD: We performed a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based
Since a ship is movable and on the same time a very high-priced asset, a ship owner in debt may be very tempted to move it outside a creditor´s reach. Fortunate for the creditor it exist a legal mechanism that hinders this, it is referred to as “arrest of ship”. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current legal position in Sweden regarding arrest of ships and to discuss the specific proble
Objectives To investigate the association of diabetes, hypertension and overweight/obesity with physical activity (PA), self-efficacy for pain and self-efficacy for other symptoms before and after a 6- week exercise and education intervention for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA), and to assess outcome disparities based on metabolic health. Methods Register-based cohort study using the Swedish Oste
Background Nurses constitute a central profession in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) team delivering comprehensive CR to individuals with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to identify specific components reflecting the nurses' role in the CR team associated with attainment of risk factor targets post myocardial infarction. Methods Center-level data (n = 78) was used from the Perfect-CR study, in wh
Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re
Context. AU Mic is a very active M dwarf star with an edge-on debris disk and two known transiting sub-Neptunes with a possible third planetary companion. The two transiting planets exhibit significant transit-timing variations (TTVs) that are caused by the gravi tational interaction between the bodies in the system. Aims. Using photometrical observations taken with the CHaracterizing ExOPlanet Sa
