Supply chain management - Back to the future?

Purpose - Distribution arrangements are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic in business as well as in consumer markets. The purpose of the present paper is to explore and discuss the theoretical frameworks available to interpret these distribution arrangements, to uncover how they are interrelated and to suggest extensions. Design/methodology/approach - A survey of extant research is underta

Evaluation of simple enzyme kinetics by response surface modelling

The activity of a horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalysed reduction of cyclohexanone was investigated by using a central composite circumscribed design in which two parameters (pH and cyclohexanone concentration) were varied. By log transformation of the substrate concentration an adequate model could be obtained from which reliable kinetic constants and pH profiles were determined.

"I have got diabetes!" - Interviews of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

Background: To be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is a challenge for every patient. There are previous studies on patients' experience in general but not addressing the increased cardiovascular risk and multifactorial treatment. The aim of this study was to explore the thoughts, experiences and reactions of newly diagnosed patients with diabetes to this diagnosis and to the risk of developing compl

Single-shooting optimization of an industrial process through co-simulation of a modularized Aspen Plus Dynamics model

The Python Module Coupler (PyMoC) is a tool for co-simulation of Aspen Plus Dynamics modules that together make up an overall process flowsheet. The tool requires only user input in the form of file paths to Aspen Plus Dynamics modules, and it is able to automatically make the required connections there between, and keep track of the simulation whilst updating the streams regularly. This contribut

Att skapa självstyrande individer; effektivitet och motrörelser : Styrningsrationalitet och icke-rationalitet i bibliotek med obemannade öppettider

Med hjälp av en Foucaultinspirerad utgångspunkt undersöker avhandlingen folkbibliotek i Danmark och Sverige med obemannade öppettider. Genom att fokusera på styrningen av användarna analyserar jag biblioteket från ett nytt perspektiv. Jag förstår bibliotek med obemannade öppettider som självstyrning dragen till sin spets och en analys av dessa bibliotek är också en analys av den styrning som prägl

Intake of fibre and plant foods and the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a large prospective cohort study in Sweden

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate fibre, and plant foods, and its association with AAA risk. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, baseline data collection was carried out 1991–1996. The study participants’ (n = 26,133) dietary habits were extensively recorded at baseline. The specific diagnosis of AAA in the in-hospital registry was found vali

Metabolomics Analysis of Nutrient Metabolism in β-Cells

The islets of Langerhans harbor multiple endocrine cell types that continuously respond to circulating nutrient levels in order to adjust their secretion of catabolic and anabolic hormones. Stimulus–secretion coupling in these cells is largely of metabolic nature; that is, metabolism of nutrient fuels yields signals that trigger and amplify secretion of hormones. Hence, metabolism in this micro-or

Juxtarenal endovascular therapy with fenestrated and branched stent grafts after previous infrarenal repair

Background: The treatment strategy for proximal aortic disease or type I endoleak after previous infrarenal repair has traditionally been open surgery. As endovascular treatment options with fenestrated and branched stent grafts increasingly rival open surgery for juxtarenal and pararenal aortic aneurysms, secondary proximal repair may similarly be performed endovascularly. Fenestrated stent graft

Influence of EVA, PVB and Ionoplast Interlayers on the Structural Behaviour and Fracture Pattern of Laminated Glass

Architectural trends increasingly challenge material producers and engineers to create sustainable, renewable and innovative laminated glass products that combine multiple functions as in, for example, glass railings with solar cells, curved laminated glass, floors with light emitting diodes that serve as multimedia screens. All new tendencies require the development of interlayers for laminated g

Online representations of nursing-home life in Sweden : Perspectives from staff on content, purpose and audience

The article is based on a study of how social media and other types of online representations of nursing homes are described by staff. The study proceeds from a qualitative thematic analysis of 14 interviews with nursing-home representatives. The article addresses a key finding that was apparent in the interviews: the online representations' form and content were adjusted to fit the demands of res

Focal neocortical lesions impair distant neuronal information processing

Key points: Parts of the fields of neuroscience and neurology consider the neocortex to be a functionally parcelled structure. Viewed through such a conceptual filter, there are multiple clinical observations after localized stroke lesions that seem paradoxical. We tested the effect that localized stroke-like lesions have on neuronal information processing in a part of the neocortex that is distan

Gebel el-Silsila through the ages : Part 1: Early visitors

For over two hundred years, Egyptologists, archaeologists, explorers, knowledgeable enthusiasts, as well as intrepid tourists and laypeople alike have regarded Gebel el-Silsila as a minor archaeological site of little significance within the greater ancient scarred landscape of Egypt. For many, Gebel el-Silsila’s enduring and captivating sculptured stone landscape has been viewed merely from the d

Identity, identification, and branding

This essay offers a contemporary overview of issues in organizational identity, organizational identification, difference, and branding, including references to personal experience, work trends, and popular culture. Along the way, we consider how certain intellectual traditions remain relevant today, as well as identify research exemplars for challenges to accustomed notions of identity in and aro
