Preparing higher education students for the new landscape of governance

Studies have demonstrated that neoliberal governance dismantles professionals? will to critique, counteracting efforts to improve quality by preventing professionals in all sectors of the labour market from grounding work in their professional convictions. Managing attempts at governance has therefore become an important professional competence.

A Conceptual View of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems as Services

This paper brings forward a conceptual view, based on practical experiences from designing information systems as services. Viewing information systems (IS) as services is beneficial but still an unexplored approach in organizations. The aim of this exercise is to contribute to the knowledge base of IS designers and modelers. In the paper, we present an analysis of Enterprise Resource Planning (ER

A Comprehensive Decision Support System for Enhanced Emergency Decision Management and Training

Emergency decision makers face a challenge taking rapid and high-risk decisions during an emergency situation, especially when the emergency is cross-border and requires multi-agency cooperation. The emergency decision makers use emergency management (EM) system and sometimes decision support systems (DSS) when responding to a crisis. To date the emergency decision makers have not had access to a

Lär studenter hur IT-tekniken påverkar deras yrken

Digitaliseringen är inte bara en teknikfråga, utan bör handla om hur verktygen ska användas. Det menar Carola Aili, lektor i pedagogik vid Lunds universitet, i en kommentar till Darja Isaksson som tidigare intervjuats i Curie. Studenterna behöver kompetens att hantera frågor om IT-stöd i sin kommande yrkesutövning.

Healthcare Matching - A Value Creating Service

Background: Long waiting times have been a significant problem in theSwedish health care system. A lack of matching of pathways of care has ledto long waiting times for patients, increasing medical risk and contributingtowards less effective capacity utilisation. There are different pathways into theelective healthcare system in Sweden, some via referral from a physician andothers via referral wri

Money and Debt : Empirical Studies in Northern Europe 1840-2015

This dissertation firstly produces new financial series on money and bankassets which are consistent with current definitions for the UK for the crisisrich period 1840-80 and new monetary aggregates for Ireland from prefamine to independence (1840-1921). By employing the new data, cyclicaland seasonal analysis are conducted to shed light on the business cyclesand financial crises of the period. Se

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Interconnect Design Optimization considering the Thermal Stresses

The mechanical failure of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) components may cause cracks with consequences such as gas leakage, structure instability and reduction of cell lifetime. A comprehensive 3D model of the thermal stresses of an anode-supported planar SOFC is presented in this work. The main objective of this paper is to get an interconnect optimized design by evaluating the thermal stresses of

Modeling of an anode supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell focusing on Thermal Stresses

A mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown. As an unfavorable issue for interfering the stable operation of SOFCs, thermal stress stemming from temperature gradient and mechanical mismatch can result in crack damage. Therefore, it is strongly significant to clarify the relationship of mechanical properties of the cell materials with dA mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown.

A Review of Cell-Scale Multiphase Flow Modelling, including Water Management, in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

The PEFC has emerged as the most viable fuel cell type for automotive and some portable applications, and also has potential back-up power unit applications due to its low operating temperature, comparative simplicity of construction, high power density, and ease of operation. In spite of tremendous scientific advances, as well as engineering progress over the last few decades, the commercializati

Blå orkidéer och Southern Cross i Västaustralien

Floran i den sydvästligaste delen av Västaustralien är idag internationellt utmärkt somen Biodiversity Hotspot, dvs. ett område som måste bevaras för omvärlden på grundav sin unika artrikedom och höga andel endemiska arter.

Hybrid zone maintenance by non-adaptive mate choice

In a spatial simulation we show that formation of a stable, narrow hybrid zone requires no selection, only that individuals can recognize their own population type since this is a prerequisite for assortative mating. The European crow occurs in two species/subspecies that meet in a long hybrid zone, the black carrion crow Corvus corone and the grey and black hooded crow C. cornix. In a previous st

How beneficial are intermediate layer Data Centers in Mobile Edge Networks?

To reduce the congestion due to the future bandwidth- hungry applications in domains such as Health care, Internet of Things (IoT), etc., we study the benefit of introducing additional Data Centers (DCs) closer to the network edge for the optimal application placement. Our study shows that the edge layer DCs in a Mobile Edge Network (MEN) infrastructure is cost beneficial for the bandwidth-hungry
