Integrating SLAs into IT risk management in public service organizations

Risk management is an important process for public service organizations to maintain a high quality of service. However, many organizations are not satisfied with the result from risk handling. This paper proposes changes to a risk management model by integrating service level agreements into it. This makes responsibilities more clear to all parties involved in risk management. This paper also int

The Role of Zinc in Leishmaniasis and Tuberculosis

Popular Abstract in English Bolivia, as with other Latin American countries, is considered to be in an epidemiological transition due to the continued persistence of infectious diseases, and nutritional deficiencies related to poverty and food insecurity, together with an increase in chronic non-communicable diseases mainly related to lifestyle factors. The work presented in this thesis was focuseThe synergistic relation between nutritional deficiency and infection may have negative effects on the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infection. Zinc can affect the resistance to infections by modulating cytokine release, and by acting as a cofactor of thymulin, which induces the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. To investigate the modulation of the immune response b

Costs of inbound logistics – Towards a decision support model for production system design

Global competition forces companies to constantly increase the efficiency in their production systems. One important factor affecting the production performance is the inbound materials handling system. When designing or relocating a manufacturing system, the cost of the material handling system is one of many things to take into consideration. In connection with on-going research a comprehensive

Thaumasite sulphate attack on self-compacting concrete with limestone filler

The paper deals with durability of Self-Compacting Concrete with limestone filler during Thaumasite Sulphate Attack. For this purpose six concrete with varying amounts of limestone filler, particle size of limestone filler, pressure height during casting and mixing order were studied. One normal concrete (without limestone filler) with vibrator compaction was studied in parallel. In the ongoing ex

Queerfeministisk agenda

This book discusses the concept of a queer feminism, a possible negotiation between queer theory and feminism.

Space Weather - Solar magnetic variation and its impact on Earth's atmosphere

Popular Abstract in Swedish I solens inre finns ett område där het, joniserad och mycket turbulent gas alstrar stora elektriska strömmar. Dessa strömmar genererar i sin tur ett starkt magnetfält som stiger upp till solens yta, fotosfären. I fotosfären uppstår en del intressanta magnetiska fenomen som till exempel solfläckar. Solfläckar är relativt svala områden som skapas då magnetfält hindrar denA solar magnetic field is continuously being created in the solar interior. As the field evolves outward through the solar atmosphere and into the enveloping heliosphere, it causes effects on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. By studying and measuring these magnetic effects we gain extensive knowledge about solar magnetism and it also allows us to model and predict how solar activity is

Pantlån : om ränta och värdepappersrättsliga konflikter i pantbankernas kreditgivning

It is contended in this thesis that the introduction of a legal regime with a rateless structure, subject only to market forces and a rebuttable statutory presumption as to where the rate line of conscience should be drawn, can provide a solution if the rate charged by pawnbrokers is to be regulated. The thesis also shows that a uniform pawn ticket issued as a negotiable document of title, and tra

Simulations of two-planet systems through all phases of stellar evolution: implications for the instability boundary and white dwarf pollution

Exoplanets have been observed at many stages of their host star's life, including the main-sequence (MS), subgiant and red giant branch stages. Also, polluted white dwarfs (WDs) likely represent dynamically active systems at late times. Here, we perform three-body simulations which include realistic post-MS stellar mass-loss and span the entire lifetime of exosystems with two massive planets, from
