Purpose – The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the applicability and functions of tender platforms for logistics projects hosted by consultancy firms (CFs), and the benefits and challenges for logistics companies. Background – The digitization trend has transformed procurement practices, with e-tendering and tender platforms gaining attraction across industries. This shift is gra

This research examines the impact of digitalization on Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) and its broader influence on supply chain performance. By adopting digital technologies, companies can streamline decision-making processes, reduce manual efforts, and enhance operational efficiency. The study aims to address the insufficient understanding of how the integration of digital technologies Impact of Digitalization on Sales and Operations Planning and Its Influence on Supply Chain Performance By Ali Mustafa Ali Ishag and Qiong María García Calatayud (2024) Imagine an orchestra playing with different music sheets—chaos, right? Now, imagine they have the same sheet, but the composer's handwriting is nearly illegible. How would they perform? Would a typed sheet work better? Then

A search is presented for the pair-production of heavy vector-like quarks in the lepton+jets final state using 140 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector. The search is optimised for vector-like top-quarks (T) that decay into a W boson and a b-quark, with one W boson decaying leptonically and the other hadronically. Other vector-like quark flavours and decay

Study objectives: We examined and compared cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between self-reported sleep disturbances and various cognitive domains in five separate Nordic European longitudinal aging studies (baseline N = 5631, mean age = 77.7, mean follow-up = 4.16 years).Methods: Comparable sleep parameters across studies included reduced sleep duration/quality, insomnia symptoms (sl

Background The adverse health effects associated with long commutes provides additional evidence of the commuting paradox. Better job opportunities and higher incomes in larger local labour markets are offset by the negative consequences of longer commutes including lower levels of life satisfaction.

Better job opportunities and higher incomes in larger local labour markets are offset by the negative consequences of longer commutes including lower levels of life satisfaction. Long commutes extend the work day and time spent commuting is time lost for health beneficial activities such

Background/Aim: The Kingdom of Cristal, an area in southern Sweden, is historically heavily burdened by heavy metals. Cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic have previously been used in glass production and large amounts of glass crust have been deposited around the Kingdom of Cristal and used as filling material for the construction of new residential areas, parks and schools. The purpose of the proj

Title: Increasing warehouse efficiency by digitalizing warehouse processes using mobile devices – A design study in the steel industry Author: Sören Castor Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: Heine + Beisswenger does not or only partly document material movement in parts of their warehouse which

Background: Commuting, transportation from the home to the work place has been claimed to increase the material wealth. Although economy and flexibility to choose where to live and work will improve for the individual, several studies have shown that health become aggravated with increased commuting. One plausible explanation to the negative health is reduced social capital.

This study aims to create a deeper understanding of wrestlers that are active in Sweden. The study makes an attempt to explore an understanding of how wrestlers themselves experience the usage of fake in relation to wrestling. The study has been conducted through interviews and observation. The material have then been theorized through the theories of play, reci- procity and front- and backstage.

BackgroundCognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors as an effect of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. An important factor in CA recovery is global functional outcome, commonly assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Little is known about the role of cognition as a potential predictor of outcome following CA.ObjectiveTo investigate cognitive function at hospital disBackgroundCognitive function is often impaired for cardiac arrest (CA) survivors as an effect of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

In this study, the laser induced fluorescence lifetime of Ni atoms in ambient air with presence of a plasma discharge was measured for the first time. Free Ni atoms were generated in air at a pressure of 1 bar by spark plug discharges driven by an inductive coil. The Ni atoms were excited at the 336.957 nm absorption line by a 336.96 nm, 90 ps laser pulse and the resulting temporally resolved deca

Recent advances in mass spectrometry-based peptidomics have catalyzed the identification and quantification of thousands of endogenous peptides across diverse biological systems. However, the vast peptidomic landscape generated by proteolytic processing poses several challenges for downstream analyses and limits the comparability of clinical samples. Here, we present an algorithm that aggregates p

Modulation of ERP responses by predictability of information in negated contextsPrevious research has shown that language comprehension is incremental and that we can keep up with language input because we make predictions about the upcoming information [1]. If these predictions are confirmed, processing is facilitated. In event-related potential (ERP) studies, this facilitation effect appears in

This work evaluates the efficiency and quality of drug substance and product automated sample preparation for liquid chromatography analysis in comparison to the manual preparation technique. Despite the potential advantages of process automation in improving efficiency, accuracy, and precision while reducing time and resources, sample preparation in the early phases of drug development in the ph

Agriculture is the main employment in Bhutan, making it an agriculture-based economy. The project “Solar Food: Reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying” is to help indigenous people to preserve their food crops in a more efficient but still natural way by using solar energy for drying. A new idea arose to commercialize food items dried in the solar dryer instead, which would affe

A search for the single production of a vectorlike top partner (Formula Presented) with mass greater than 1 TeV decaying into a Formula Presented boson and a top quark is presented, using the full Run 2 dataset corresponding to Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions at Formula Presented, collected in 2015-2018 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The targeted final stat

Galektiner är små proteiner som finns i vår kropp och de förekommer antingen intracellulärt och i cytoplasman eller extracellulärt. De binder till kolhydrater på cellytan med hög affinitet, speciellt de som innehåller galaktos och det avgör dess viktiga roll i de olika fysiologiska processerna i kroppen. De är involverade i modulering av cellulära processer såsom programmerad celldöd när cellen ärGalectins are glycan-binding proteins that can reprogram the function of many cell types. They are involved in different positive and negative physiological functions in the human body including inflammation and autophagy. Thus, they have been suggested as therapeutic targets for tumour progression and they have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnosis. Galectins bind to the carbohydrates on the
