Survey on Product Development Methods, Design Competencies, and Communication in Swedish Industry

This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey carried out during the spring of 2000. The results are based on the answers provided by a total of 99 respondents. Among other results the survey revealed that more than half of the responding companies have a formally documented strategy for product development work. Regarding disciplinary competencies, it is shown that design engineers

Optimization of integrated chromatography sequences for purification of biopharmaceuticals

With continued development of integrated and continuous downstream purification processes, tuning and optimization become increasingly complicated with additional parameters and codependent variables over the sequence. This article offers a novel perspective of nonlinear optimization of integrated sequences with regard to individual column sizes, flow rates, and scheduling. The problem setup itsel

Predicted Heat Strain (PHS) model and the sweat loss in an extremely hot climate

Introduction: The aim was to study if the evaporative water loss can be predicted enough accurately for hydration recommendations by ISO 7933 – Predicted Heat Strain (PHS) model during a student laboratory exercise in an extremely hot environment.Method: Twelve young healthy students (8 males and 4 females), unacclimatized to heat, were exposed in a climatic chamber at 50˚C, 30% relative humidity

Higher education and competence provision in the museum sector

Museums face rapidly developing digital technologies and communication, increasingly diverse societies and audience groups, and economic restraints paired with accountability demands. This calls for new competence at museums. Yet, this area is poorly researched. This paper explores competence needs and competence management practices in museums as well as the role of higher education in relation t

Competence management in museums

Museums face increasingly complex demands in terms of increasingly diverse audiences, the rapid digital development, and demands on increased collaboration in order to achieve their organisational goals, while resources remain limited. This means that competence management and strategic development of museum organisations and services is ever more important. Yet, there is hardly any empirical rese

Platelet increment is not associated with endothelial damage in haematological patients : a prospective observational study

The aim of this study was to investigate if thrombocytopenic haematology patients show signs of endothelial damage when transfused with platelets and if that damage correlates with platelet increment measured with corrected count increment (CCI). Endothelial damage secondary to radiation or chemotherapy may lead to consumption of transfused platelets but research in this field is scarce. Patients
