Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency of logistical systems and therefore, improvements in the retail supply chain can be achieved through the integration and development of the systems of packaging and logistics. In order to enable these improvements, models are needed that facilitate evaluations along the supply chain in order to grasp the whole picture and avoid sub-optimisations

This study is based on an analysis of more than 2,300 court cases concerning acts of bestiality and same-sex sexuality in rural and urban Sweden 1880–1950. Other written sources are forensic psychi- atric statements, mental hospital records, material from the Swedish Sex Reform movement, news- papers and scientific journals, and minutes of the Swedish Parliament and its subcommittees. In coope

This dissertation concerns the field of applied psychiatry and focuses on the problems that are associated with the care and treatment of adult patients with autism spectrum disorders. The conditions that are described are valid for Swedish psychiatry and cannot be directly generalized to conditions outside of the country.

Ageing, with increases in the old-age dependency ratio, puts a strain on pension systems organised as a pay-as-you-go system. The question asked is whether the Swedish system will be politically as weill as financially stable in the future. The design is described and analysed with resspect to sustainability.

We deal with a natural integer-linear programming formulation of the routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) problem in elastic optical networks. We focus on strengthening the formulation with valid inequalities (cuts). For this purpose we apply clique inequalities that proved to be useful in other applications of this kind. We develop and combine a clique cut generation procedure with a column gene

By the autumn of 1966, the PRC government had enjoyed seventeen years of uninterrupted and complete domestic information dominance. Independent collection of information was hampered by way of a CCP culture of secrecy and successfully enforced regimen of information curtailment. Of the changes in the political landscape triggered by Mao Zedong’s August 1966 decision to label part of government off

The purpose of risk management in the development of safety-critical software is to eliminate or reduce harmful behaviour. In health-care it is essential to manage risk related to software due to its increased use in medical devices and other computer systems. This paper presents some of the experiences gained from an ongoing case study at a large hospital in Sweden. The study focuses on identific

Kan man göra sig en bild av Gud? För de första kristna som levde i en värld fylld av gudabilder var frågan mycket konkret. Trycket från omvärlden på att namnge och synligt presentera den kristne guden var starkt. Men hur skulle man kunna avbilda den som intet öga sett, den som inte låter sig avbildas? Hur tala om den som inget öra hört, den som är ofattbar? De här samlade artiklarna från det sjätt

It has been predicted theoretically that for some environments, the capacity of wireless MIMO systems can become very low, even for uncorrelated signals; this effect has been termed "keyhole" or "pinhole". We present the first unique measurements of this effect. The measurements were performed in a controlled indoor environment that was designed to obtain a keyhole. We analyze the limitations for

Considers the problem of moving a container with liquid without too much slosh in an industrial packaging machine, There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine to use for control, it is however possible to measure the slosh in a testbed. The problem is to determine the shape of the open loop acceleration reference that is programmed in the motion control system that controls the m
