This paper studies three different strategies of sourcing. The whole process of this research including the problem definition is exactly based on a real case condition. This paper model sourcing process of required parts and material for a product which is manufactured under the license of Peugeot Company, the mother manufacturer in France. Based on the agreement between Peugeot and the manufactu

Det finns ett myller av sammanflätade tilldragelser som man skulle kunna ta fasta på för att förstå uppkomsten av den globala rättviserörelsen. Det är fråga om ett myller som i och med demonstrationerna i Seattle, Prag, Göteborg, Genua och den globala fredsdemonstrationen den 15 februari 2003, de sociala världsforumen i Porto Alegre och Mumbai och ett otal andra aktiviteter inte går att förstå som

Multi-site measurements for urban macro cells at 2.66 GHz are performed with three base stations and one mobile station. In order to analyze the correlation properties of large scale parameters, we split up the routes into subsets, where it can be assumed that wide-sense stationarity (WSS) applies. The autocorrelation distance and correlation properties of large scale parameters for each link are

MYH9-related platelet disorders are inherited macrothrombocytopenias with additional clinical manifestations including renal failure, hearing loss, pre-senile cataract, and inclusion bodies in leucocytes that are present in different combinations. The MYH9 gene codes for the cytoplasmic contractile protein non-muscular myosin heavy chain IIA, present in several tissues. The bleeding tendency is us

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling presenteras olika studier om röstimitation. Det unika i den individuella rösten och om det är möjligt att förändra sin röst så att man blir till förväxling lik någon annan vad gäller rösten och talet diskuteras. Syftet med studierna var i första hand att ta reda på hur och i vilken omfattning en imitatör förändrar sin egen röst och sitt tal för att blThis thesis is about voice imitations, more specifically impersonation. Questions are raised about the uniqueness of a person’s voice and speech behaviour and if it is possible to get close to another speaker’s voice and speech. Four main research questions are investigated in different studies. The studies focus mainly on how close the imitation is to the target speaker, and addresses to a lesser

This article aims to highlight how literary value is constructed today: how it is created and negotiated. It seeks to develop a perspective that considers the manifold and complex value­negotiation process. In accordance with Barbara Herrnstein Smith, the article argues that literary value is generated by a constant and continuous series of negotiations between production and sale: the institution

Interstitial lung disease often occurs as an early complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim was to investigate whether impulse oscillometry (IOS) could be used to evaluate lung impairment in SSc.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed and/or amplified in 15-20% of all breast cancers, and is associated with an aggressive tumour type with impaired prognosis and a predictive marker for trastuzumab treatment. HER2 status can be determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at protein level and by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysing gene amplification, and i

Monoclonal anti-collagen type II antibody CIIC1 is an arthritogenic autoantibody, which induces arthritis in mice. We crystallized and solved the structure of CIIC1 Fab molecule. Analysis of structure revealed an interaction between the CDR regions of one Fab to the CH1 domain of another Fab, which resembles an antibody-antigen interaction. ELISA experiments confirmed the cross-reactivity of both
