Healthcare in Sweden is dealing with problems regarding accessibility for patients. Moreover, there is a lack of an overall model concerning matching specialist care to patients. Against this background, the purpose was to develop a preliminary healthcare matching model and discuss the barriers of this model. Theoretically, the study draws on the concepts of matching and coordination completed wit
Prediction of the service lifetime of concrete structures with respect to chloride ingress involves a number of parameters that are associated with large uncertainties. Hence, full-scale measurements are strongly in demand. This paper begins by summarizing statistical distributions based on measurements taken from the Gimsøystraumen Bridge in Norway. A large number of chloride profiles are availab
In response to customer specific service time guarantee requirements, service providers can offer differentiated services. Although response time agreements offer more flexibility, most of the theoretical models for customer differentiation are based on fill rates, due to the difficulty of calculating the response time distribution in the presence of priorities. In this paper we focus on the (S−1,
This article explores the environmental impact of logistics service provider (LPS) activities in the light of increased customer priorities and the fragmentation of the industry. The research is based on a narrative literature review, an interview study, a case survey, and three in-depth case studies. A framework on sustainability challenges in supply chains derived from the literature is used to
Abstract—Resource management in IT–enterprises gain more and more attention due to high operation costs. For instance, web sites are subject to very changing traffic–loads over the year, over the day, or even over the minute. Online adaption to the changing environment is one way to reduce losses in the operation. Control systems based on feedback provide methods for such adaption, but is in natur
For extremely large telescopes, there is strong need for thin deformable mirrors in the 3-4 m class. So far, feasibility of such mirrors has not been demonstrated. Extrapolation from existing techniques suggests that the mirrors could be highly expensive. We give a progress report on a study of an approach for construction of large deformable mirrors with a moderate cost. We have developed low-cos
The ongoing refugee crisis has divided the European Union. While some states shelter hundreds of thousands of refugees, others only grant asylum to a handful. This phenomenon is creating a demographic rift inside the union and is also causing internal quarrels over joint responsibility, which possibly could undermine the existence of the organization. In this thesis we search for the potential cau
Background and issue of study: The global financial crisis, climate change, demographic changes, and rising inequality are some of the global trends that put pressure on public leaders and organizations, civil society organizations and corporations to shift to a social and environmental sustainable development. Social innovations are demanded to be both drivers of positive societal change and forc
Den europeiska stålindustrin står för en betydande del av EUs CO2-utsläpp, men har samtidigt begränsade möjligheter att minska utsläppen från befintliga produktionsmetoder. Det krävs därför nya, banbrytande processinnovationer för att åstadkomma verkligt stora utsläppsminskningar. Denna rapport ger en översiktlig beskrivning av den europeiska stålindustrin teknologiska innovationssystem, belyst geThe EU steel industry is a major contributor to human-induced CO2 emissions and has limited possibilities to improve incumbent production methods further. The industry is therefore strongly dependent on new breakthrough decarbonisation technologies in order to further mitigate emissions. This report provides an overview of the EU steel industry’s technological innovation system, through a new mapp
Nyckeln bakom en lyckad (torrpulver-) formulering För att möjliggöra en lyckad administrering av inhalationsläkemedel är det många faktorer som spelar in. Däribland hur tillverkningen av formuleringen går till. Till skillnad från vad många kanske tror, har inhalation länge använts som ett sätt att administrera läkemedel till lungan. Så länge, att de äldsta fynden daterar tillbaka ända till gamlaFor efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is today one of the most used inhalers for pulmonary delivery.
B-uppsatsen är författad av Elin Johansson och Daniella Nordström i ämnet medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Det finns mycket forskning kring sociala mediers för- och nackdelar. Den kontext som finns på internatskolor finns det dock inte mycket forskning kring. Studien syftar därför till att undersöka huruvida gymnasieelever på int
A growing number of firms are voluntarily starting to implement measures with the aim to reduce their corporate greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyses sustainable travel mode incentives for the case of a travel-intensive professional service firm. The aim is to evaluate the relationship between hierarchical status and travel intensity, and the effectiveness of incentivising employees using
I denna uppsats görs en kritisk narrativanalys av två moderna hjälteskildringar inom genren barnlitteratur. Böckerna Malala Yousafzai och Gretas historia som gavs ut 2019 är två litterära skildringar för barn i ålder 9-12, som inte bara kan kategoriseras som underhållande fiktion om riktiga hjältar, utan också innehåller samhällskritisk information. Analysen intresserar sig för att synliggöra böck
The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac
Currently well established technology-based manufacturing companies with a service business provides their markets with innovative and reliable products. Despite this, these companies often find their service delivery process to be inefficient, due to its time-based nature. Furthermore, the markets on which they operate are currently experiencing a shortage of qualified service personnel and thus
The purpose of this work is to map the parameters of residential fires that have the most influence on the consequences. The parameters consist of factors linked to the event and tasks conducted by the rescue service. The reason for this scope is a new law that requires a new way of describing the capability of the Swedish rescue service. A literature study and an interview study were conducted to
