An increased focus on sustainability and initiatives towards green supply chains raises new challenges for efficient inventory control. This doctoral thesis addresses the consequences some of these initiatives have on the modelling of inventory systems and the resulting policy variables. The overall research objective for the doctoral thesis can be stated as:To design mathematical models for evalu
Sixty-four patients with active distal ulcerative colitis participated in a multicentre, randomized, investigator-blind trial to compare the effect of budesonide enema, 2 mg/100 ml, with prednisolone disodium phosphate enema, 31.25 mg/100 ml. Budesonide is a new potent corticosteroid with a rapid first-pass elimination. The patients were treated for 4 weeks, and the efficacy of the drugs were eval
The witness is universally considered to be one the most instruments to ascertain the truth in criminal proceedings or as Bentham says “Witnesses are the eyes and the ears of justice.” Under the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s legal framework, witnesses who testify before the Court, persons at risk and their interaction with the Court because of testimony at the ICC are entitled to the protec
Handeln var den främsta orsaken till utvecklingen av godstransporter till sjöss. I samband med teknikens utveckling, ökade mängden transporterat gods. Tidigt i handelns historia seglade ägarna till godset med sina varor till destinationsorten. Denna sedvänja blev omöjlig att fortsätta tillämpa, eftersom tekniken utvecklades och det blev möjligt för skepp att segla fler och längre resor. Det lönadeTrade was the main reason for the development of transportation of goods by sea. With the evolution of technology, the amount of goods transported increased. Early in the history of trade, traders would sail with their goods to the port of destination. As the technology allowed more frequent and longer trips, this practice was seen to be impossible to continue. Thus, the bill of lading was invente
Barn är en särskilt känslig grupp i samhället. Det genomförs därför återkommande nationella enkäter om deras miljörelaterade hälsa, kopplad till hem- och bostadsmiljö. Många barn tillbringar dock en betydande del av sin vakna tid i förskolan, men det har hittills inte funnits någon samlad bild över den fysiska miljön där, vare sig lokalt eller nationellt. Därför har Arbets- och miljömedicin i LundChildren are a particularly vulnerable group in society. It is therefore carried out national surveys on how their health is affected by their home and residential environment. Many children, however, spend a significant proportion of their waking hours in preschools and that environment has not been as closely monitored, neither locally nor nationally. Therefore Occupational and Environmental Med
Too-big-to-fail has been a subject of controversy and has gained much attention in the course of the sub-prime financial crisis 2007-2009. Subjects related under this topic for instance are usually about the excessive risk taken by the government, and moral hazard. In this paper, we perform an analysis to examine the existence of too-big-to-fail impact on the banking sector in Switzerland during t
After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict. As this also coincided with a rise of mass communications and increased education more people than e
Titel: Validering av en handledsburen aktivitetsmätare och en självskattningskala för beräkning av VO2max. Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet och god aerob kapacitet är kopplat till god hälsa och lägre risk för livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar. I dagsläget anses maximalt arbetsprov med ergospirometri och gasanalys för bestämning av VO2max (VO2max-test) vara det mest exakta sättet att mäta aerob kapacitet. Su
I dagsläget äger nästan alla vuxna svenskar finansiella instrument. Det är vidare allmänt känt att sparande i finansiella instrument inte är helt riskfritt. För många individer är besparingarna väldigt viktiga, samtidigt som många saknar den kunskap som krävs för att investera i finansiella instrument. Behovet av finansiell rådgivning har därför ökat kraftigt, varför det får anses oroväckande att Almost all Swedish adults own financial instruments. It is well known however that investing in financial instruments is not risk free. Furthermore, these investments are often very important for many individuals, but most people lack the necessary knowledge required to invest in financial instruments. There has therefore been a strong increase in the need for financial advisers. With regard to th

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) represent a key concern for researchers and industry in basically all (high-tech) sectors. IPRs regularly figure prominently in scientific journals and at scientific conferences and lead to dedicated workshops to increase the awareness and “IPR savviness” of scientists. In 2015, Biotechnology Journal published a report from an expert meeting on “Synthetic Biolog

The mobile research lab is an emerging research methodology increasingly applied in urban studies to investigate phenomena like places, infrastructures, nature and inhabitants of cities. This essay critically explores this relatively new methodology, also known as ‘mobile labs’, as part of in-situ research for a two-year research project supported by the International Fellowship Program of the Jap
