Analysis of the potential of assessing sustainable production with a cost model

This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor. To facilitate the analyse literature have been studied to find indicators for sustainable production. The indicators have then been mapped together with parThis paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production.

Ted's rymdäventyr

Följ med nallebjörnen Ted, och hans blomma, på ett äventyr i solsystemet. Tillsammans utforskar vi förhållanden på olika planeter, och upptäcker var bästa förhållandena finns för Ted att plantera sin blomma. Vi besöker Solen, Merkurius, Venus, dvärgplaneten Pluto, Mars Jorden och Månen. Vi flyger även förbi gasjättarna i vårt solsystem: Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus.Detta är en interaktivJoin the teddy bear Ted, and his companion Plant, on an adventure around the Solar System investing different places and how they affect us. Together we can learn about Mercury, Venus, the Earth and its Moon, Mars, the dwarf planet Pluto and the giant planets in the outer Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.This is an interactive show. The children are encouraged to sing along with t

Community Currencies as Means of Local Economic Empowerment : Innovations from Mombasa and Nairobi to Kisumu, Kenya

Community currencies have emerged as a tool for building more inclusive local economic development and governance. Grassroots organisations in Nairobi and Mombasa (Kenya) have been experimenting with this form of local monies. Communities in informal settlements in Kisumu have shown interest in introducing their own community currency. Challenges remain concerning the best diffusion strategy of su

Combining Overall equipment Efficiency (OEE) and productivity measures as drivers for production improvements

To compete on a globalized market companies need to constantly improve the performance in their manufacturing systems. Production performance measures can be used for different purposes, by practitioners they are commonly used for follow-up and reporting purposes. Two of the most commonly used performance measures are Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and productivity. Between these two productiv

Success and Failure of European Settler Farming in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper ties into the growing literature on the long-term economic implications of historical European settlement, by arguing for the need to properly address the role of indigenous agency in endogenously evolving settlement processes. We develop three comparative case-studies in West, East and Southern Africa to show that the success or failure of European settler farming depended crucially on

Treatment with local hemostatic agents and primary closure after tooth extraction in warfarin treated patients.

The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the frequency of postoperative bleeding in patients on warfarin after tooth removal followed by a complete soft tissue closure of the surgical site. A total of 124 consecutive patients, 69 males and 55 females with a mean age of 71 years (range 28-95 years) were included in this study. Inclusion criteria were patients on warfarin with an INR

Monte Carlo Simulations of Production Costs in Discrete Part Manufacturing

When calculating the production costs input data can vary considerably inquality between different cases. When costs pertain from products, which are already in production, complete and reliable data may already be available. For new products, new production systems or new production technology it might be hard to find applicable and reliable data. The cost and performance parameters needed can th

An alternative optimization technique for JavaScript engines

Thread Level Speculation at function level has been suggested as a method to automatically (or semi-automatically) extract parallelism from sequential programs. While there have been multiple implementations in both hardware and software, little work has been done in the context of dynamic programming languages such as JavaScript. In this paper we evaluate the effects of a simple Thread Level Spec

The Aesthetics of Assault

Comparing contemporary legislation and social debates to films and TV-shows from the 2000s and 2010s, this study shows a change in approach to the subject of sexual assault from an intersectional angle. The analysis describes a more individual, neo-liberal angle in the early 2000s, and a more holistic and societal angle in the 2010s. With the intersectional approach, the study finds that whiteness

Two new nanolaboratories to be built

Published 29 August 2017 Two new nanofabrication facilities are scheduled to be built in Science Village Scandinavia neighboring MaxIV and ESS. One laboratory will be a bigger version of the Lund University run Lund NanoLab which is dedicated to education and blue sky research. The other is the ProNano facility which will belong to the RISE research Institute and house pilot production facilities.
