Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to address the issue of supply management coordination among a prominent contact lens company (customer), its carton supplier (first tier), and paperboard supplier (second tier). Adopting concepts within the theory of swift and even flow, the authors integrate the physical (material) and information flow among these supply partners to ensure higher productivity

The use of total lipid phosphate as a measure of biomass was evaluated in soils with different organic matter content. Lipids were extracted with a one-phase mixture of chloroform, methanol, and a buffer, and digested with either persulfate or perchloric acid to liberate lipid-bound phosphate. This procedure was evaluated by varying the extraction buffer, the extraction and digestion times, the am

The rapid expansion of the global solar photovoltaic (PV) market as part of the transition to a low-carbon energy future will increase both demand for raw materials used in PV product manufacturing as well as future PV panel waste volumes. There is an urgent need for solar industry businesses to adopt circular business models, and to support this process through targeted tools and methods that can

The rapid technological advancements of modern times have brought about the need for an innovative and contemporary approach to medical waste management procedures. This arises from the inadequacy of conventional manual techniques in ensuring the safety of employees and the environment from infections. The increasing amount of waste produced each day can exacerbate the situation if no action is ta

In this communication, we present the phase diagram of CsPb(BrxI1-x)3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 300-585 K) obtained by high-throughput in situ GIWAXS measurements of a combinatorial thin film library. We find that all compositions convert to the cubic perovskite phase at high temperature and that the presence of bromide in the films stabilizes the metastable perovskite phases upon cool down. In accordance with

The main challenge in predicting structure-borne sound in wood buildings is to accurately model the vibration transmission between the source and the receiving room. Large variations in model parameters make it difficult to predict absolute vibration levels and to make conclusions regarding the relative effects of different designs. A step towards establishing reliable models is to investigate the

Background: In people with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, high self-efficacy facilitates recovery, indicated by improved muscle function, reduced knee symptoms and increased physical activity. Impact of treatment on future self-efficacy is however not well investigated. The aims of the study were to 1) investigate knee-related self-efficacy 6 years after acute ACL injury in patients trea

OBJECTIVES: The predictive ability of the STarT Back Tool (SBT) has not yet been examined among acute/subacute back and/or neck pain in a primary care setting in respect to health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work ability outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the SBT's predictive validity for HRQoL and work ability outcomes at long-term follow-up in a population with acute/subacut

Mötet mellan nanopartikel och protein Uttrycket ”god kemi” används som beskrivning för möten mellan människor som kommer bra överens, de som interagerar väl med varandra. Faktorer som personlighet och andra egenskaper spelar stor roll för att ”god kemi” ska uppstå. Likadant är det vid mötet mellan nanopartiklar och proteiner. Skillnaden är att det sker på nanoskalig nivå och att det är, istället Although nanoparticles (NPs) are very small, their field in science is currently growing very large. There are several biological, medical and technical applications possible for NPs when bound to proteins. Protein-NP interactions are difficult to predict and therefore a lot of fundamental research is yet to be completed. This study is an attempt to contribute with the aim to explore the interacti

Frågan om samvetsfrihet inom abortvården är ett mycket aktuellt diskussions-ämne i Sverige. Vi saknar lagregleringar på området och det är osäkert huruvida man som anställd barnmorska har rätt till samvetsfrihet. Uppsatsen tar sikte på att utreda vad gällande rätt i Sverige är när det kommer till om en barnmorskas rätt till samvetsfrihet går före en kvinnas rätt till abort samt patientsäkerhet. FöIn Sweden there’s an ongoing discussion whether or not a person within the health profession should have a right to conscience when it comes to performing abortions. There are no regulations on the subject and therefore no clear guide-lines on what is right and what is not. The question is what kind of demands an employer can make towards her employees when it comes to performing abor-tions and wh

Undersökningen är utförd på två 4H-gårdar i Sverige: Almviks 4H-gård som ligger i Malmö, och Gunnesbo 4H-gård som ligger på landet i utkanten av Lund. Uppsatsens utgångspunkt är att människan enligt bl.a. Giddens teori om “disembedding” i det moderna samhället har separerats från naturen. Utifrån denna, samt andra relevanta teorier undersöks om 4H-gårdar kan utgöra exempel på platser som har en be

Violence against women (“VAW”) is a global matter; and human rights law-inspired approaches, also universal in nature (it is argued), can be the missing link in tackling a global problem. In underlining the universal applicability of human rights standards, principles and norms; it is suggested that drawing inspiration from human rights-based approaches would contribute to implementation of holist
