Inventory management is crucial for organizations, with inventory control being a key component. Efficient inventory control involves balancing various business functions' goals, while also managing economies of scale (EOS) and uncertainties. Multi-echelon inventory control systems (MEICS) consider interdependent stocks and have gained importance with advancements in inventory control techniqu
Background: Some patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) cannot be treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and will therefore not receive effective thromboprophylaxis. The primary objective of the present Phase II trial (NCT00623779) was to assess the feasibility of conducting a study with a novel oral anticoagulant, the direct thrombin inhibitor AZD0837, in patients with AF unable or unwilling t
The purpose of this paper is to speak on the similarities and differences between the Traverso and the Boehm-flute, specifically on interpretation and focusing on the embouchure, sound colour, and tuning systems. The written format of this study allowed me to express better and be more specific on the information selected to be more concise and beneficial to what I intended from this research. As
Popular science General introduction Two main activities take place into forests: photosynthesis, or GPP (the uptake of CO2 by plants, which leads to their growth) and respiration (the release of CO2 by those plants). The Net Ecosystem Exchange NEE is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration, and it depends on the nature of the forests and on climate particularities. With the ongoing This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w
This thesis uses a discourse analytical approach based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to critically analyze long term migration policies. Hegemony and antagonism are used to show the development of the “Root cause discourse”. The discourse is based on the assumption that mainly illegal migration from underdeveloped sender states to more developed receiving states will in time diminish due to
A risk evaluation with regards to fire safety has been performed at Torpa Stenhus. The focus of the evaluation was the safety of the people inside the building in case of a fire. As part of the education for future fire protection engineers at LTH a risk evaluation report is performed in the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering (VBR054). Torpa Stenhus was built during the 15th century and is located

Undersökningsgruppen bestod av tio legitimerade psykoterapeuter med KBT inriktning, med godkänd handledarutbildning, som handledde främst på psykoterapeutprogrammet vid LunThe purpose of the study presented here was to get a deeper understanding of how different CBT supervisors perceive the cognitive and behavioral components in their training supervision with students in the psychotherapy program. The study group consisted of ten certified CBT psychotherapists with approved supervisor training, who served as supervisors mainly for the psychotherapy program at Lund
Energy efficiency is a priority goal and an important part of the transformation to a more sustainable society. The industrial sector is an important actor in this setting. In this chapter we outline the major principles for energy efficiency and energy management in industry and discuss how to develop the energy management perspective with theories from social science focusing on how situated act
For a long time the attention given to the hip fracture patient group was minor and without any certain consideration to their frailty. To improve the care for these patients Skane University Hospital in Lund has during the past 19 years worked actively with developing the care. This paper aims to describe what impact the care process development has had on functional outcome and mortality, as wel
Background: Warfarin-treated patients with a prolonged Prothrombin Time (PT) can have a normal rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) clotting time (CT). A previous in vitro study found that activated prothrombin complex concentrates (APCC) could reverse an albumin-induced coagulopathy monitored with ROTEM, but that prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) could not.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Frågan om Amerikas kulturella ställning i förhållande till den övriga världen är av central betydelse för all forskning som berör Amerikas och det moderna Europas historia. Det här förhållandet har blivit påtagligare under senare tid beroende av vårt samhälles senare "kris" med det s. k. "postmoderna" - och "globaliserade" - perspektivets genombrott. I avhandlingen presThe question of America’s cultural position in relation to the rest of the world is essential for all research connected to America and to the history of modern Europe. This situation has become obvious over the last years because of our societies’ latest “crisis”, with the consecration of the “post-modern” and “global” view of society, history and culture. The aim of the dissertation is to analys
In this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century. I analyze how the concept was used in different contexts, such as questions concerning e.g. private and public religious practices, relations between individuals and communities, and relations betweIn this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Swedish has been generally assumed not to have any well-defined question intonation. However, with respect to Southern Swedish, Lindblad & Gårding (1973) present data showing final rises in polar (Y/N) questions. Gårding (1979) also assumes a broader and higher F0 range in Y/N questions than in statements, particularly on the final focussed word. The present study investigates the ex
For a collection to be considered as such, and not appear only as a clutter or jumble of things, it has to be based on some kind of selection and systematisation. The research question of this article is how and why collectors structure their collections, organise, and arrange them. The research material is answers to the directive “Collecting things”, presented by the Mass Observation Archive in
Spatial models, such as the Besag, York and Mollie (BYM)model, have long been used in epidemiology and disease mapping. A commonproblem in these subjects is the modelling of number of disease eventsper region; here the BYM models provides a holistic framework for bothcovariates and dependencies between regions.We use these tools to assess the relative insurance risk associated withthe policyholder
This paper proposes a novel Doppler penalty kernel used in the computation of multitapers corresponding to the Wigner-Ville distribution. The resulting multitaper spectrogram will approximately fulfil the time-frequency concentration of the Wigner-Ville distribution but also suppress the cross-terms outside a signal dependent Doppler bandwidth, making the penalty kernel appropriate for linear freq
This dissertation investigates the Swedish directive speech act in spoken language, focusing on directives used to prompt actions. Directives can be direct, like imperatives, or more polite, embedded in structures typically associated with other speech acts, such as interrogative or declarative forms. The study centers on Physical Education and Health (PEH) lessons, where directives are prevalent.This dissertation investigates the Swedish directive speech act in spoken language, focusing on directives used to prompt actions.

Non-technical summaryEnsuring more equitable transformations requires addressing how different contextual dimensions of identity, such as gender and class, hinder equity. However, previous analyses on equity have addressed these dimensions separately. We suggest advancing beyond these methods by integrating intersectional analysis into the distributive, procedural, and recognition aspects of equit
Despite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable. Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a well-characterized cell surface protein involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis, differentially expressed during transition from hormone-sensitive to CRPC. This study aimed to investigate ICAM-1 as a target for imaging and radioimmunotherapy of CRPC.Anti-ICAM-1 an
