This dissertation presents a framework for describing, a process for identifying, and a model for evaluating misalignments in the supply chain when varying elements such as structure, processes, and management components. The developed approach makes it possible to address and improve the alignment of supply chain structures, processes, and management components. To further increase knowledge of h
This study focuses on the purpose of commercial operations as a key factor in the governance of firms. The background is that the extensive discussions about the purpose of the firm, primarily within the economic and legal disciplines, have for a long time been polarized between two positions: shareholder primacy and stakeholder theory. These discussions are carried out in in the context of consid
In research on Birka strong focus has since long been directed towards long-distance contacts with Western as well with and Northeastern Europe (todays Russia, Belarus and Ukraine). The great attention paid to west- and east European contacts has likely contributed to that contacts with Finland have fallen out of the discussions. However as seen from studies of the pottery in Birka the Baltic Finn
Are there special ways of exerting influence for small states in a complex multi-actor governance system such as the EU? Intergovernmental theories of European integration emphasize great power nota bene the Franco-German axis, but other observers suggest that smaller member states may actually use the EU institutions to their advantage. Based on literature about small states in international rela
In an organization where the safety level is high and incidents and serious accidents are very rare, a steady erosion of safety awareness and protective measures can occur, especially when productive demands rise. Thus, it is important to continuously identify and monitor aspects in the organization that can affect work performance and safety. In an ongoing joint research project between the LFV G
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: About 35% of individuals with type 2 diabetes develop persistent albuminuria, lose renal function, and are at increased risk for microvascular complications like diabetic nephropathy. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified the uromodulin locus (UMOD), encoding the most common protein in human urine to be associated with hypertension and also with chronic kidney dis

I detta konferensbidrag beskriver jag ett exempel på hur IKT (Informations- och kommunikationsteknik) kan användas i litteraturundervisning på gymnasiet i Sverige på ett sätt som gör det möjligt för eleverna att bli mer aktiva producenter av kunskap i en flexibel inlärningsmiljö samtidigt som man främjar en globaliserad litteratursyn, särskilt vad gäller fransk litteratur, som går bortom nationens
An energy system that relies on fossil fuel is not sustainable. Emissions, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and corpuscles, affect the climate and pollute the air. Furthermore, the supply of oil, coal and natural gas is located a few places worldwide, which can give provide incentive to geopolitical conflicts for access to these areas. This is not a local issue for Tjörn, nor even a national i
