The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to create a model of a converting line factory. The model will be used to investigate factory performance when altering the order structure as well as other what-if scenarios. The model should also be easily adaptable so that it can be used to model other factories as well without the need to rebuild it from scratch. The main results of this study show that

The Court's refusal to implement horizontal direct effect upon directives may, in some cases, lead to injustice. It can not be considered just and equitable that individuals who do not comply with provisions stemming from a supreme legal order are able to avoid retribution. This situation may be seen as further exacerbated by the fact that public funds are used to finance the shortcomings. Wha

Abstract Title: “Acknowledging knowledge sharing - A Case Study of Knowledge Sharing in a Company in the Wind Turbine Manufacturing Industry.” Seminar date: 4th of June 2010 Course: BUSM Master thesis in Managing knowledge, people and change, 15 ECTS Author: Mikkel Kolstrup Supervisor: Sara Louise Muhr Key words: Tacit knowledge, Explicit knowledge, Knowledge sharing, Wind turbine industry, Rapid

The study will be focusing specifically on the impacts that these entrepreneurs have had on the UK (regional) economy. In the last 20 years we have seen a wealth of studies analyzing the determinants of entrepreneurship. Though some of these studies are theoretical (e.g. Holmes and Schmitz, 1990), others are empirical (e.g. Evans and Leighton, 1990). The impacts of entrepreneurship, in terms of ec

This Master’s thesis in library and information science deals with the relationship between research and practice of information literacy education. Information literacy is a common field of research and many theories and models have been developed through the years. The concept is widely used in society and one goal for educational institutions is to train students to become information literate.

BackgroundTo enable people with stroke to achieve an active everyday life under altered conditions, the development of self-management programs is essential to facilitate the process of change that individuals must undergo. To improve access to self-management, internet-based solutions have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel internet-based intervention,

In recent years, considerable advancements have been made in developing in vitro models to better understand the complex dynamics of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and its critical role in neurological health and disease. Incorporating astrocytes into these models introduces an essential layer of complexity, allowing for a more comprehensive investigation of the cellular interactions and regulatory

Background and objective: The European Association of Urology (EAU) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) guideline panel has updated their evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the management of RCC. Here we present a summary of the 2025 RCC guidelines updated with standardised methodology to provide reproducible evidence for the management of RCC. Methods: For the 2025 update, a literature sear

The aim of this study was to describe and to analyze needs and social efforts concerning unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children. The responsibility for the reception of this target group was transferred on July 1, 2006 from the Swedish Migration Board to the municipalities that sign an agreement with the Swedish Migration Board. Eight qualitative interviews were carried out with represent

Our state of emergency is good - is the public library prepared for the future? Our state of emergency is good! These are the words spoken by Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson in 1939. He claimed that Sweden had nothing to fear from a future war, we were safe. Today we know it was not so. Is this the situation for Swedish public library of today? Is the public library ready to face the future, or

Fountain of Knowledge? The Changing Role of the Library at the Upper Secondary School Level. There have been many changes in the Swedish society in general, and in the school system and hence the school library in particular during the last decade. The aim of this master thesis is then to study what students at the upper secondary school level consider to be the optimal school library to meet thei

This essay is about children who have psychological and social problems. An increase part of children and young people in Sweden describe this kind of difficulties. These problems are at the same time a concern for the school as well as the social welfare. The purpose in this essay is to explore if children with psychological and social problems have the same legal rights to education as other chi

This master thesis? purpose is to examine the role of Swedish universities in the prevention of extremism and terrorism. Depending on how the universities look upon their role in preventing extremism and promoting democracy among their students, extremism can either flourish or be restrained in the higher learning environment. An unclear standpoint against extremism from the universities side coul

Respiratory chain Complex I or NADH:quinone oxidoreductase catalyzes oxidation of NADH in the mitochondrial matrix or bacterial cytoplasm and reduction of quinone in the membrane, coupled to pumping of 4H+/2e- across the membrane. The same enzyme complex is also capable of the reverse reaction, i.e. @D@mH+-supported NAD+ reduction. The molecular mechanism that couples electron transfer to proton p

Peroxidases, oxygenases and catalases have similar high-valent metal-ion intermediates in their respective reaction cycles. In this review, haem-based examples will be discussed. The intermediates of the haem-containing enzymes have been extensively studied for many years by different spectroscopic methods like UV-Vis, EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance), resonance Raman, Mossbauer and MCD (magn

When formulating a policy related to food in a heterogeneous context within a nation or between nations, oppositional positions are more or less explicit, but always have to be overcome. It is interesting to note, though, that such elements as culture and religion have seldom been the focus in discussions about methods of decision-making in food policy. To handle discrepancies between oppositional

infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health problem. Transmission is mainly blood-borne, although the route of infection during horizontal transmission in childhood is unclear. Nosocomial outbreaks of HBV have been widely reported, but have mainly focused on blood-borne transmission. There is Limited knowledge of the viral Load Levels in other body fluids. In the present study,
