Purpose of this paper The purpose is twofold: to map the reviewers’ perspective of evaluation of case based logistics and supply chain management research; and to develop a framework with all criteria needed to design, conduct, and present rigorous case study research. This framework can be used by both researchers and reviewers. Design/methodology/approach An interview study is performed to esta

The purpose of this thesis is to study a Swedish group of artists (Sven Jonson, Waldemar Lorentzon, Stellan Mörner, Axel Olson, Erik Olson, Esaias Thorén), both as a social phenomenon and as an intellectual fellowship. Is it possible to discern a pattern in the social development, and a unity in the group as well as among the members, related to a change of artistic manner and style? The theories

The goal of total hip replacement(THR) with a prosthesis is to improve the quality of life in the patients with hip disease. Loosening of the prosthesis is the most common cause of deteriorating long-term results. Reaction to wear products and stess-shielding giving rise to resorption of bone are usually blamed for this deterioration. There was no correlation between migration of the prosthetic co

Popular Abstract in Swedish Värmebehandling av vegetabilier medför att man värmer till temperaturer över växtens ursprungliga fysiologiska och naturliga temperaturgränser och därmed förändras den enskilda grönsakens vävnadsstruktur. Detta leder till en serie händelser på cellnivå som i sin tur bestämmer transportegenskaperna hos vävnaden. En av cellens viktigaste komponenter för masstransport är cHeat processing of vegetables involves the use of temperatures above the physiological limit which affect the cellular structures of the tissue and induce a series of events at cell level that will in turn be reflected in the transport properties of the tissue. One of the most important cellular structures from the mass transport point of view is the cell membrane since it represents the physical

Participation in some neoplastic diseases and in the host defense against helminths has also been postulated. They are considered both good and bad, protecting or harming the host. The exact roles of eosinophils and their mechanisms of action are poorl

Clustering is a key concept of existing MIMO channel models, such as the COST 2100 model. Parameter based clustering has been studied for a while, but how parameter based clusters relate to the physical environment is not well known yet. A measurement based ray launching tool is developed and used for studying clustering and its relation to physical scatterers. By using estimated angles and delays

At first sight, international law seems to uphold both state sovereignty and individual sovereignty. The existence and autonomy of a state are secured by the obligation on other states to respect its territorial integrity and the prohibition on intervening in other states’ domestic affairs. At the individual level, internationally guaranteed human rights serve comparable functions: they secure a m

Models of the nonlinear creep behavior of paper, and of the global buckling , local buckling and creep buckling of corrugated board have been developed. The studies of creep and buckling were limited to climate conditions with constant relative humidity. First the short-term elastic buckling of corrugated board panels was studied. Then an appropriate creep equation, based on the Schapery represent

Sexuality and cyst formation were studied in the marine dinoflagellate species Gymnodinium catenatum Graham, Gymnodinium nolleri Ellegaard ? Moestrup, Alexandrium catenella (Whedon et Kofoid) Balech, and Lingulodinium polyedrum (Stein) Dodge. The study included the morphological characterization of sexual stages and processes, the time and description of meiosis, the study of the length and regula

This paper describes the participatory process of developing and implementing a prototype model aimed at supporting the Integrated Sustainability Assessment of water resources and policy options at different scales. The model - called the World Cellular Model (WCM) focuses on the representation of agents’ behaviours and their systemic relationships with their environment. This is achieved by exami

Recent studies have demonstrated that the combination of x-ray tomography during triaxial tests (”in-situ” tests) and 3D- volumetric Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) can provide important insight into the mechanical behaviour and deformation processes of granular materials such as sand. The application of these tools to investigate the mechanisms of failure in rocks is also of obvious interest.

Today most universities are using course evaluations. However, course evaluations are often discussed and questioned. This paper reports on a survey where we aim at finding out (1) if students have a preconceived notion of a course, (2) if course evaluation scores can be predicted early in a course, (3) if exam throughput impacts course evaluation, and (4) if web-based evaluation reflects the gene
