Circular supply chains (CSCs) depend on enhanced supply chain visibility (SCV) to track and manage resource flows and thereby enable efficient decision-making. Despite confronting silo mentalities, fragmented information, technological barriers, resistance to change, and a lack of standardization, data sharing remains crucial for SCV and circularity. In this study, following the Delphi method, 22

Nonresonant ac Stark shifts of Rydberg states in Xe have been investigated by probing an atomic transition with a weak UV light in the presence of an intense YAG-laser pulse. Rydberg atoms produced through two-photon excitation, 5p → np (n = 15-48) and 5p → nf (n = 12-49), are subsequently ionized. IR-laser-induced shifts of the resonant ionization profiles are then measured. The measured shift, 3

The energies of the np[1/2]o, np[3/2]2, np[5/212, nf[3/2] 2, and nf[5/2]2 Rydberg states in Xe are measured within +0.3/-0.5 cm-1 from n = 12 to n = 49. The Rydberg states are excited by nonresonant two-photon absorption and detected by dc field ionization or infrared photoionization. We determine the ionization limit and the quantum defects for the different series involved.

The article analyses the contexts, arguments and paradoxes of thinking about cultural heritage in Sweden of the 2000s when the topic achieved broad societal relevance in traditional media, internet fora, political communication and academic research. The discussion focuses on four themes: the normative criticism paradigm that has been increasingly influential in the heritage sector in recent years

BACKGROUND: Modern modular implants allow surgeons to mix different combinations of components within the same brand. From 1999 to 2012, the NexGen®-CR Option femoral component, together with a NexGen® Option Stemmed tibial plate (stemmed baseplate), which uses a short central stem, was the most-frequently used NexGen® combination in the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register. However, from 1999 to 20

Reablement is a multidisciplinary, home-based intervention implemented for people at risk of functional decline and losing independence aiming to optimise functioning and independence in activities of daily living. There is limited knowledge about what characterises the intervention and the role of different professionals. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics and difference

COPD is a progressive disease, which can take different routes, leading to great heterogeneity. The aim of the post-hoc analysis reported here was to perform continuous analyses of advanced lung function measurements, using linear and nonlinear regressions.

We investigated the quality of life (QoL) of newly diagnosed persons with cancer aged 65 years at baseline and 3 months after, in relation to age, contact with the healthcare system, activities of daily living, hope, social network and support using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30, Katz ADL, Nowotny's Hope Scale, and the Interview Schedule for Social Interact

CagA seropositivity is an important risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma and duodenal ulcer. However, CagA seropositivity is also found in Helicobacter pylori-seronegative subjects. Is CagA seropositivity in these subjects a sign of a past H. pylori infection, or does it represent a false-positive reaction? This study investigates the intensity of the CagA immune reaction and the variation in Ca

Rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes have a decreased rate of sciatic nerve regeneration. We studied the effects on this defect of treatment with the aldose reductase inhibitor, ponalrestat (25 mg/kg per day via an endogastric tube). The nerves of diabetic rats were crush-injured at 5 weeks of diabetes and regeneration evaluated 7 days later with the pinch-reflex test. Ponalrestat treatment w

This dissertation examines appropriations of five of Shakespeare’s tragedies (King Lear, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet), written for the stage between 1979 and 2010 and set in Shakespeare’s playworlds. The aim of the study is to investigate how these appropriations are used as a strategy for discussing issues that are central both to Shakespeare’s plays and to the present gender-po

In designing industrial cylindrical furnaces, it is important to predict the radiative heat flux on the wall with high accuracy. In this study, we consider CO2 and H2O which have strong absorption in the infrared range. The absorption coefficients of the gases are calculated by using the statistical narrow band (SNB) model. The spectrum is divided into 15 bands to cover all the absorption regions

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging of dynamic objects that rapidly undergoes structural changes, such as turbulent combusting flows, has been a long-standing challenge, mainly due to the common need for sequential image acquisitions. To accurately sense the 3D shape of the sample, all acquisitions need to be recorded within a sufficiently short time-scale during which the sample appears stationary. He

This presentation contributes new perspectives to media scandals – a field where both moral and media transgressions are exposed – and illuminates the personal experience of being at the centre of such an event. By using phenomenological and anthropological perspectives upon an extensive empirical material to focus on how the scandal is experienced by the person at the centre of the scandal, the e

This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), offered in partnership with online learning provider Coursera, is a free resource for university students who are currently involved in writing assignments or degree projects as well as for students who wish to learn about academic writing in order to prepare for future writing tasks at university. Although the course provides guidance to all student writers

We propose a competition-based approach to resilient distributed optimization with quadratic costs in Networked Control Systems (e.g., wireless sensor network, power grid, robotic team) where a fraction of agents may misbehave (through, e.g., hacking or power outage). Departing from classical filtering strategies proposed in literature, and inspired by a game-theoretic interpretation of consensus,
