Packaging handling evaluation methods in the grocery retail industry

The grocery retail industry, with its large product volumes, low margins and fierce competition, is constantly seeking efficiency improvements in its supply chain. The grocery retail industry uses an immense amount of packaging and is directly affected by packaging logistics activities. There is, therefore, a potential for efficiency improvements in the grocery retail supply chain through the inte

High-resolution measurement of the ¹⁶O(γ,pn) reaction

The 16O(gamma,pn) reaction has been measured with a resolution high enough to resolve individual low-lying states in the residual 14N nucleus. The relative population of the states provides detailed information about the quantum numbers of the proton-neutron pairs on which photons are absorbed. Partial cross-sections, available to the acceptance of the detector system, have been extracted for the

Metapopulation ecology of Osmoderma eremita - dispersal, habitat quality and habitat history

This thesis starts with a review of different biodiversity assessment methods in forests and the rest deals with the metapopulation ecology of Osmoderma eremita, a threatened beetle living in hollow trees. I concentrate on the effect of dispersal, habitat quality and habitat history for the presence, population size and future survival of this species. Dispersal was studied by using both capture-m

...han fick det bättre i himmelen

En ny europeisk studie granskar hur allmänheten i sex länder ser på organtransplantationer och postnatala genetiska test. Det rör sig om Cypern, Österrike, Tyskland, Frankrike och Sverige. I undersökningen framkommer att de tillfrågade personernas funderingar följer två övergripande spår: Här finns å ena sidan tankar om den medicinska utvecklingens potential, å andra sidan reflektioner rörande desRecent developments in the field of biomedicine do not only constitute a challenge for the health care systems of modern societies. They also have a profound impact on the core concepts of individual and collective life. The corresponding changes of individual and collective identities take place within the framework of different historically shaped national conditions and traditions. This leads t

Polarization of "water-skies" above arctic open waters: how polynyas in the ice-cover can be visually detected from a distance

The foggy sky above a white ice-cover and a dark water surface (permanent polynya or temporary lead) is white and dark gray, phenomena called the "ice-sky" and the "water-sky," respectively. Captains of icebreaker ships used to search for not-directly-visible open waters remotely on the basis of the water sky. Animals depending on open waters in the Arctic region may also detect not-directly-visib

Revision and complication rates in 654 Exeter total hip replacements, with a maximum follow-up of 20 years.

Background: Iceland's geographical isolation with a stable and small population gives a rare opportunity for follow-up studies of medical interventions. Total hip replacements (THR) have been done at FSA Central Hospital in Akureyri, Iceland since 1982 with the Exeter hip implant being in use from the beginning. Methods: Hospital records for all patients operated on with THR between 1982 and the e

Computer supported visualisation of quality systems developed by network teams

This paper reports a pilot study and three case studies to examine aimed at studying if a quality system, according to the ISO 9000 quality standard, can be visualised, exploring how the visualisation should be designed in order to support continuous improvements and evaluating the design process for development of prototypes. By discussing with the research team, three companies in southern Swede
