The main problems in this thesis concern the impact of seasonal variations in daylight and ambient temperature on people's mood and the prevalence of various symptoms related to seasonal affective disorder. Questions are also raised about the role of the indoor environment and of the individual's personality as moderators of such an impact. In contrast to most previous research, the present study

With the help of interview transcripts of five women from the first generation of Hungarians living in exile in southern Sweden, the study presents seldom-discussed angles of ascertained membership in the Hungarian nation, moving beyond traditional defin

Marknadsföringen av läkemedel är ständigt omtvistad. Branschen klandras inte sällan för en alltför aggressiv marknadsföring för att maximera försäljningen. I synnerhet har kritiken mot industrin varit hård i USA, där flertalet bolag dömts för eller ingått förlikningar i miljarddollarklassen efter omfattande och tillsynes medvetet oetiskt försäljningsarbete.

Abstract in Undetermined We consider an inventory system with one warehouse and N retailers. Transportation times are constant and the retailers face independent Poisson demand. Each facility applies a periodic review order-up-to-S policy. In case of shortages at the warehouse, orders for individual units are filled in the same order as the original demand at the retailers, i.e., according to a so
