An analysis of assistance needs during the storm Gudrun

We take as our starting point the view that one of the main objectives of an emergency response operation is to meet the assistance needs that arise in the affected population during an emergency. In Sweden, like in most of the world, there has been a substantial increase in societal emergency preparedness activities during the last few years. At the local level, municipalities are required by leg

Simplicity vs. complexity in the logistics discipline - a paradigmatic discourse

Today one could argue that most of the logistics research available has a strong connection to the positivistic paradigm where there is a great emphasis on simplicity in both the research conducted and in the solutions produced. The overall ability to design, plan and control is promoted by the researchers to a great extent. Consequently, firms invest money, time and resources in solutions, based

Optimal design of compact heat exchangers by an artificial neural network method

The artificial neural network (ANN) methods are introduced (mainly for calculation of thermal and hydraulic coefficients) into a computer-aided design code of compact heat exchangers (CCHE). CCHE integrates the optimization, database, and process drawing into a software package. In the code, a strategy is developed for the optimization of compact heat exchangers (CHEs), which is a problem with cha

The MobiHealth Usability Evaluation Questionnaire

There is a need for high quality evaluation instruments when testing new mobile devices and services. The aim of this study was to describe the development of the MobiHealth Usability Evaluation Questionnaire. It was developed in a step-wise consensus process with close interaction between researchers, technology developers and end-users. The questionnaire ten dimensions: functionality, user inter
