An Improved Supplier Driven Packaging Design and Development Method for Supply Chain Efficiency

Packaging and the role it plays in supply chain efficiency is overlooked in most design and development research. An opportunity exists to meet the needs of supply chains to increase efficiency. This research presents three propositions on how to reduce the gap between supply chain needs and satisfaction in interaction with the product and packaging system. It also proposes a supply chain focused

Multimodal Transportation under the Rotterdam Rules: Legal Implications for European Carriage of Goods and the Quest for Uniformity

A constantly growing intercontinental trade and modernization of transport infrastructure transformed the traditional patterns of carriage of goods globally. The majority of manufactured goods nowadays are transported in by sea in containers; however, transportation by land precedes and follows the sea carriage. These developments have created the preconditions for the development of multimodal tr

Unequal error protection explained by state-transition graphs

In this paper unequal error-correcting capabilities of convolutional codes are studied. State-transition graphs are used for investigating the error-correcting capabilities for specific inputs or outputs of given convolutional encoding matrices. Active burst input- and output-distances are defined and shown to be generalizations of the active burst distance. These new distances provide better esti

Corruption and anti-corruption in Southeast Europe: Landscapes and sites

This article discusses the rise of the global anti-corruption "industry" with its elements of international campaigns and conventions, the traffic in project funds, people, knowledge and ideas, and how global structures interact with the local politics of anticorruption. The metaphor of landscape is utitilized to show the different perspectives -- global summits and local sites -- how anticorrupti

Kamratgranskning och kamratdiskussion vid bedömning av muntliga gruppresentationer: pålitlighet och effekter på studenternas lärande

Det finns goda skäl till att engagera studenterna i deras egen bedömning vid både formativ och summativ examination. Vi har under kursen Molekylär Cellbiologi för Ekosystemvetare vid LTH undersökt studenternas förmåga att bedöma muntliga projektredovisningar och jämfört den med lärarnas. Under kursen genomförde studenterna ett projekt där en muntlig gruppredovisning med efterföljande kamratdiskuss

Aspects of beta cell and thyroid autoimmunity in children

Popular Abstract in Swedish Insulinberoende diabetes mellitus (IDDM = Typ 1 diabetes), och kronisk sköldkörtelinflammation - autoimmun thyreoidit (AIT) anses idag vara orsakade av att de hormonproducerande cellerna angrips av kroppens eget immunsystem (sk. autoimmunitet). När sjukdomen ger sig till känna kliniskt finnes antikroppar (sk. autoantikroppar) riktade mot cellkomponenter i det hormonprodThe two most common autoimmune endocrine diseases in children are autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Autoantibodies (ab) can be found several years before clinical diagnosis in both diseases. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of thyroid ab in children with IDDM and in children with allergic diseases; to study islet ab and t

A new family of smooth strategies for swinging up a pendulum

The paper presents a new family of strategies for swinging up a pendulum. They are derived from physical arguments based on two ideas: shaping the Hamiltonian for a system without damping; and providing damping or energy pumping in relevant regions. A two-parameter family of simple strategies without switches with nice properties is obtained. The main result is that all solutions that do not start
