The aim of this paper is to provide insights into, and perspectives on, the transformation of mindsets for logisticians. We argue that by exploring paradoxes inherent in the efficiency-focused paradigm of today, a strategic mindset can emerge in which central logistics management issues can be addressed, understood, and dealt with in order to enhance supply chain effectiveness and innovation.

Det finns just nu momentum för att stängda de luckor i lagstiftningen kring företags ansvar för negativa effekter på mänskliga rättigheter. En av de mest ambitiösa åtagandena hittills är initiativet till ett EU-direktiv med syfte att kräva skälig aktsamhet (så kallad ”due diligence”) och ansvar från företag för påverkan på mänskliga rättigheter och miljön. Ett lagförslag förväntas komma under somm

The basic pathophysiology of TBI consists of an initial, primary injury including rapid deformation of brain tissue with destruction of brain parenchyma and blood vessels and acute loss of neuronal and glial cells. A key concept in the management of TBI is that not all cell death occurs at the time of primary injury; instead, a cascade of molecular and neurochemical secondary events occur during t

Serier av dygnsnederbörd omfattande 89 år från Malmö, Halmstad och Göteborg har analyserats liksom dygnsnederbörd från 230 stationer i Skåne för perioden 1961–1990. Fördelning i rum och tid har undersökts liksomförhållanden mellan dygnsnederbörd och olika parametrar. Extremvärden har uppskattats med olika frekvensfördelningar. De allra största oberoende händelserna har inträffat ganska jämnt förde

Sektion 52 i Copyright Designs and Patents Act innebär att det upphovsrättsliga skyddet i Storbritannien, vilket garanterar upphovsmannen ett skydd för 70 år efter hans död, minskar till 25 år efter att verket satts på marknaden om det upphovsskyddade verket har massproducerats. Storbritanniens lagstiftning skiljer sig från regleringen i övriga Europa eftersom resterande länder inte har samma undaThe foundational copyright protection in the United Kingdom provides the creator with a protection of 70 years after the death of the creator. Section 52 of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act reduces the copyright protec-tion, if the piece has been mass produced industrially, to a protection of 25 years after the product has been put on the market. The British government has during 2013 decided

Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees. There is currently no research on the requirements need

The housing shortage in Sweden means that a lot of focus is placed on finding new efficient methods that allow for a faster and more cost-effective construction. The type of industrial construction that was used in the so called Million Program in Sweden in the 60s and 70s was substandard in many ways and has given many Swedes a negative image of what industrialized construction and prefabrication

The EU has recently shifted its trade policy from multilateralism to bilateralism, and this has highly affected Turkey via the existing trade regime with the EU. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the reactions of current actors in Turkey to the EU’s increasing FTAs with third countries in the EU-Turkey trade regime context. To do this, a theoretical framework has been established by using

Försoning är ett centralt tema i den kristna kyrkan. Denna studie indikerar en diskrepans mellan den teologiska förståelsen av försoning och den praxis som utövas under och efter en konflikt orsakad av olika uppfattningar om församlingens kultur eller identitet, särskilt i relation till vitaliseringsrörelser – förnyelse.I denna studie har etthundra konflikter eller potentiella konflikter som uppstReconciliation is a central theme in the Christian church. This study proceeds from a discrepancy between the theological understanding of reconciliation on the one hand and praxis in dealing with conflicts caused by different opinions about the culture or identity of the church on the other, especially in connection with vitalization (or renewal) movements.In this study, one hundred conflicts or

It is considered self-evident that chemical interactions are a component of competition in terrestrial systems, but they are largely unknown in aquatic systems. In this review, we propose that chemical interactions, specifically allelopathy, are an important part of phytoplankton competition. Allelopathy, as defined here, applies only to the inhibitory effects of secondary metabolites produced by

Abstract– Neural grafting has over the last decade emerged as a possible tool for the substitution of damaged neurons in the central nervous system and for the promotion of symptomatic recovery after brain damage. Transplantation studies in the 6‐hydroxydopamine lesion rat model of Parkinson's disease were initiated in the late seventies. The first studies were based on the neuronal replacement pa

In this paper a flexible FFT processor for OFDM systems is presented. In future wireless systems using OFDM each terminal should be able to handle a wide range of different applications, from pure voice communication to high-speed data transfers, with as little overhead in power consumption and protocol procedure as possible. As the terminals will be battery powered and should be cheap to manufact
