Full textAbstract:
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou servisně orientované architektury a služeb, které tvoří její základní stavební prvky. Jejím cílem je vymezení způsobu, jakým lze navrhovat jednotlivé podnikové aktivity jako služby, které jsou založeny na podobném principu a disponují stejnými charakteristikami jako služby, které jsou navrhovány na technologické úrovni SOA. Práce je rozdělena do pěti částí. Smyslem prvních čtyřech je vytvoření určitého teoretického základu, který je následně využit pro účely prakticky orientovaného příkladu, který se zabývá identifikací služeb. První část je věnována vysvětlení podstaty a významu enterprise architektury. Na ní navazuje další část, která ze zabývá architektonickými frameworky a jejímž smyslem je popsání charakteristik frameworku NGOSS (New Generation Operations Systems and Software), který je určen pro poskytovatele telekomunikačních služeb. Nástroje tohoto frameworku, kterými jsou datový model eTOM (enhanced Telecom Operations Map) a datový model SID (Shared Information/Data Model) jsou využívány v již zmiňované závěrečné části. Předposlední část práce je věnována teoretickému pojednání o servisně orientované architektuře a službách. Kapitola obsahuje popis procesu zavádění servisně orientované architektury a dále uvádí charakteristiky, kterými by měli služby disponovat. Závěr práce je věnován názornému příkladu, jak přistupovat k identifikaci služeb. V rámci závěrečné části je jednak navrhován postup, jak služby identifikovat na základě podnikových procesů a jednak jsou zde demonstrovány a hodnoceny možnosti využití obou zmiňovaných nástrojů frameworku NGOSS v rámci tohoto postupu

Previous issue date: 2007-04-02After the spilt of TELEBRAS that started the consolidation of the Telecommunications in the Brazilian market, which goes through the reduction in the operational costs of the operators of Personal Mobile Service (PMS). The integration of the business processes with the outsourcing companies shall be considered as part of the Work Force Management (WFM) process that was transferred outside the operator s border. The outsourcing of work force should be used as main condition in reduction of these costs. This document presents a new model for implementation of the WFM associated with a Service level Agreement (SLA) with performance indicators and targets pre-established in a signed contract between the parties, and focused on the macro process for guarantee of quality in the enhanced Telecommunications Operation Map (eTOM). This model allows the process to manage outside the operator s borders by using resources B2B, WAP and SMS in external environment defined by the eTOM model, as for proper human resources and as well for outsourcing companies in a more collaborative form.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Ciências EmpresariaisOs relacionamentos constituem uma das principais formas de diferenciação adoptadas pelas organizações na actualidade, sendo o CRM (Customer Relationship Management) a estratégia utilizada na procura da fidelização de relacionamentos com clientes. O sector das telecomunicações tem sofrido grandes alterações e tem sido marcado por uma vaga de fusões e alianças de empresas, parcerias estratégicas, entrada de novos actores e regulamentação assimétrica. O presente trabalho faz uma reflexão sobre como se processa a elaboração de uma arquitectura de informação, tendo em vista o sistema de informação de CRM de duas grandes empresas portuguesas de telecomunicações no seu processo de convergência/integração. Faz-se também a análise da framework eTOM, verificando os seus contributos práticos para as operadoras de telecomunicações. Para a realização do objectivo proposto foi desenvolvido um de estudo de caso único, onde se analisaram os três pilares do CRM; pessoas, processos e tecnologias. A recolha de dados foi efectuada através de entrevista, observação directa e análise documental. Como resultado observou-se que as características da gestão de topo, a cultura empresarial e a resistência à mudança são factores determinantes no processo de desenvolvimento e utilização bem sucedida de um sistema de CRM, factores estes que se consubstanciam num dos pilares que sustentam as organizações, as pessoas. Também são encontradas características que destacam a importância da tecnologia e dos processos mas observa-se que sozinhos não garantem o sucesso da adopção e utilização dos SI/TI (Sistemas de Informação/Tecnologias de Informação). Constatou-se também durante este estudo que a framework eTOM é um elemento facilitador das relações entre os três pilares do CRM para empresas do sector de telecomunicações.
Nowadays, organizations, adopts relationships as one of the main ways of differentiation, being the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) the strategy used for searching reliable relationships with clients. Telecommunications sector has suffered from major alterations and has been marked by a considerable number of fusions and alliances of enterprises, strategic partnerships, introduction of new actors and asymmetric regulation. This work reflects upon an elaboration of an information architecture, taking into consideration the Information Systems and the CRM of two great Portuguese telecommunications companies, in their convergence/integration process. Also the framework eTOM is analyzed, and its practical contributions for the telecommunications operators, checked. To reach the claimed goals, a unique case study was performed and the three CRM pillars were studied; people, processes and technologies. Data was collected from interviews, direct observation and documental analyses. In this case, top management, company culture and fear/resistance to changes are the principal factors conditioning the development and application of successful CRM systems, which depends mostly upon people, the key element of any enterprise. Technologies and processes are also important, but without worker involvement, do not assure successful use and adoption of IS/IT (Information Systems/Information Technologies). On the other hand, eTOM framework is an element that eases the relationships among the three pillars of CRM, for telecommunication sector enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is focused on the competence of Enterprise Architecture, which is discussed in the introductory theoretical part as a comprehensive practice and subsequently in the relation between Enterprise Architecture and a specific aspect that is used in the EA initiatives - the reference models is discussed. In relation to the set objective the basic definitions of Enterprise Architecture are discussed and analyzed in the Chapter 2, and brief look at the description of the architectures along with the key business drivers and benefits of EA is also provided. In the Chapter 3 the content evolution of architectural disciplines is presented, particularly in terms of the scope of EA and maturity in the enterprises. A general analysis of the Enterprise Architecture is completed in the Chapter 4 where is addressed a crucial aspect of Enterprise Architecture - the architectural frameworks. The second part focuses on the key objectives of the thesis related to the reference models. The criterial evaluation system of reference models and the classification scheme for reference models are introduced as the key proposed approaches. In chapter 5.3 is also provided the structural analysis of five selected reference models that are evaluated on the basis of the predefined criteria and classified in the proposed scheme at the end. Both proposed approaches, the criterial evaluation system and the classification scheme for reference models, are in the chapter 5.6 assessed and verified by the subject matter experts in the field of EA.

Full textAbstract:
El proyecto consiste en el rediseño del proceso de instalación de ADSL (Banda
Ancha), con énfasis en los procesos de gestión de producción, en la entrega del
servicio y de las actividades de apoyo que realiza la Plataforma de Gestión de
las Instalaciones (PGI) para asistir al técnico en el momento de presentarse un
problema o falla en la instalación. Dichos problemas pueden ir desde la
inexistencia de un par de cobre en el armario para conectar al nuevo cliente
hasta un cambio en el producto solicitado por parte del cliente al momento de la
instalación. Para solucionar estas situaciones, el técnico debe contactarse vía
telefónica con la PGI, donde una operadora realizará las gestiones que se
requieran para resolver dicho problema en la instalación.
Como respuesta a esta problemática, se diseñó una solución de auto-atención
utilizando un dispositivo inalámbrico, el cual permite conectividad con los
sistemas de Telefónica, permitiendo autonomía y resolución de las distintas
situaciones que se presentan en la casa del cliente.
Para el modelamiento, tanto de la situación actual como la mejorada, se utiliza
la metodología desarrollada por el Dr Oscar Barros para el rediseño de los
procesos de negocios con soporte de Tecnologías de la Información.
Además se utiliza el FrameWork Etom, el cual ha sido diseñado por un
conglomerado de las empresas de Telecomunicaciones más importantes a nivel
mundial. En él se plasma las actividades y procesos que debiera tener y realizar
una empresa de telecomunicaciones “modelo” en la industria.
Como resultado de éste proyecto se obtuvo el ordenamiento de los procesos
actuales de la PGI, resolución por tipología, generación de data necesaria para
realizar análisis sobre dichas ocurrencias y mejor percepción por parte de los
clientes al momento de instalar. Se obtuvieron reducciones de hasta un 50% en
llamadas no atendidas y segundos llamados, lo cual se traduce en ahorros de
$6 Millones por este concepto y se generan facturaciones tempranas por
montos de $9.5 Millones mensuales sólo por ADSL.

Föreliggande uppsats är en gestaltningsstudie, frågan är om och hur de offentliga värdeprinciperna gestaltas i medias nyhetsförmedling gällande Migrationsverket. Vår undran är om det svenska folkets låga förtroende för myndigheten till viss del kan förklaras av hur värdeprinciperna gestaltas i media. Styrande för uppsatsen är regeringsuppdraget angående offentligt etos samt gestaltningsteori. Vald metod är innehållsanalys och materialet utgörs av två av Sveriges mest besökta tidningar på internet, Dagens Nyheter & Aftonbladet. Resultatet av studien visar att värdeprinciperna till viss del gestaltas i media. Avslutningsvis kan svenska folkets låga förtroende för Migrationsverket sammankopplas med medias gestaltning av värdeprinciperna, det kan mycket väl vara så att medierapporteringen påverkar det låga förtroendet, om än osagt i vilken utsträckning.

Full textAbstract:
Työn tavoitteena oli parantaa tuotannonohjausta ja ohjattavuutta, sekä vähentää tuottamattoman työn määrää kokoonpanossa. Suurimpana ongelmana tuotannonohjauksen ja ohjattavuuden kehittämisessä yrityksen tapauksessa voidaan pitää hajautettuun tietojärjestelmään liitettäviä ongelmia. Tarvittava tieto on hankalasti löydettävissä ja sen takia myös hankalasti hyödynnettävissä. Yrityksellä on käytössään monia irrallisia tietojärjestelmiä, joiden välillä tieto ei kulje järjestelmästä toiseen, kuten ideaalitilanteessa olisi tarkoitus. Uusien keskitettyä tiedonhallintaa hyödyntävien tietojärjestelmien käyttöönottaminen on monivuotuinen prosessi. Tämän vuoksi diplomityössä keskityttiin tekemään konkreettisia parannuksia, joita voidaan tehdä työn puitteissa lyhyelläkin aikavälillä. Työn tutkimusstrategiaksi valittiin kirjallisuustutkimus, joka kattoi rajallisen tutkimusotteen. Ratkaisua yrityksen tuotannonohjattavuusongelmaan lähdettiin hakemaan teoriaosuudessa käsiteltyjen vaihtoehtojen kriittisellä vertailulla yrityksen nykytilanteeseen. Yrityksen nykytilannekartoituksen ja pitkän tähtäimen kehityssuunnitelmat huomioon ottaen lähdettiin työssä hakemaan lyhyellä aikavälillä tehtäviä mahdollisia toimenpiteitä, jotka tukevat yrityksen pitkäntähtäimen suunnitelmaa mahdollisimman hyvin. Konkreettisena toimenpiteenä tuotannonohjauksen parantamiseksi uudistetaan tuotannon FLOW-järjestelmä. FLOW-järjestelmään tuodaan mahdollisuuksien mukaan kaupallisille MES-järjestelmille (Manufacturing Execution System) tyypillisiä ominaisuuksia. Tuotannonohjattavuuden parantamiseksi suunniteltiin yrityksen ETO (Engineering to Order) eli tilausohjautuvaan suunnitteluun perustuvaan kokoonpanotuotantoon räätälöidyt tuotannon mittarit. Tuotannon mittareiden toteutus vaatii datan keräystavan ja käyttöliittymän muuttamista mittareille sopiviksi. Tuotannon käyttöliittymä suunniteltiin uudestaan. Käyttöliittymään suunniteltiin tarvittavia leimauskohtia eri työvaiheisiin liittyen, ja käyttöliittymään suunniteltiin parannuksia, joiden avulla onnistutaan vähentämään tuottamattoman työn määrää. Käytännössä parannuksilla tarkoitetaan työskentelyyn tarvittavan tiedon löytymiseen tehtäviä parannuksia, sekä yleisiä muita parannuksia, joilla vähennetään työntekijän aikaisemmin monimutkaisina pidettyjen toimenpiteiden tekemistä. Käyttöliittymään linkitetään muun muassa suora pääsy kommunikointikeskuksen aloitussivulle, josta työntekijä voi helposti tehdä turvahavaintoja ja kehitysehdotuksia, sekä muita aiheeseen liittyviä toimenpiteitä. Tuotannon käyttöliittymän ja tuotannon mittareiden suunnittelussa onnistuttiin loistavasti. Yleisesti tehtyihin toimintatapamuutoksiin ollaan monesti vastahakoisia, mutta yrityksen tapauksessa myös tuotannon lattiatason työntekijät suhtautuivat hankkeeseen positiivisesti. Positiiviseen suhtautumiseen vaikutti todennäköisesti monen asian summa, mutta yhtenä tekijänä voidaan pitää tuotannon työntekijöiden mukaan ottamista kehityshankkeeseen. Suunnitellusta uudesta käyttöliittymästä saatiin siisti, havainnollinen ja moderninnäköinen. Lisäksi käyttöliittymään suunniteltuihin parannuksiin oltiin yleisesti tyytyväisiä ja niillä pystytään helpottamaan päivittäistä työskentelyä. Käyttöliittymällä saadaan kerättyä tarvittava tieto mittareiden muodostamiseksi. Turhat aiemmin tehdyt merkinnät, jotka eivät tuo mittaukseen lisäarvoa, poistetaan käyttöliittymästä. Tuotantoon tuotuihin tabletteihin ja näyttöihin ollaan tyytyväisiä, ja niiden koetaan helpottavan työskentelyä ja työohjeiden lukemista. Käyttöön otettavia mittareita voidaan tehtyjen toimenpiteiden myötä esittää näytöissä sähköisessä muodossa ja mittareiden avulla voidaan muodostaa yhteenveto jokaisen projektin läpiviennin onnistumisesta. FLOW-järjestelmään tehtävien muutoksien suunnittelussa onnistuttiin hyvin. Tehtävien kehitystoimien myötä FLOW-järjestelmä vastaa ominaisuuksiltaan yhä enemmässä määrin kaupallisia MES-järjestelmiäThe aim of this master’s thesis was to improve production management and controllability and also try to reduce nonproductive work in assembly. The biggest problems in trying to improve the company’s production management and control are related to the decentralized information management system. The needed data can be difficult to find and utilize. Presently the company is using many data systems that do not communicate with each other. Employing a new centralized information management system is a time consuming process. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on practical improvement that can be realized in the short term. The research strategy was chosen the literature survey, which was taken into account a limited group of materials and surveys. Production management problems were tackled by comparing theoretical alternatives to current practices. As a result the production system in use, FLOW, was redesigned with an objective to integrate features of commercial manufacturing execution systems into it. Key performance indicators (KPI) were customized for engineered-to-order (ETO) assembly work with an aim to improve production control. Implementation of the new KPI’s required changes to the user interface, and to the data gathering. While planning the user interface improvements were made to include checklists for assembly and to reduce unprofitable work. In practice the improvements help in finding needed information and reduce the amount of tasks previously seen as complicated. In addition, a direct link from the user interface to the communication center webpage enables the user to give feedback and report safety observations or continuous improvement ideas. Planning the new user interface and the KPI’s was a success. Often reforms and improvements of working practices are received reluctantly. However, in this case also the assembly workers had a positive attitude towards the project. Involving the workforce in developing their own work was likely one of the reasons for this. The look of the newly designed user interface is clear, illustrative and modern. Users were generally satisfied with the improvements which were seen to facilitate daily work. All the data required by the KPI’s can now be gathered while previous unnecessarily fed entries have been removed. Workers on the shop floor are satisfied with the tablet computers and displays as they assist in performing work tasks and reading instructions. The new KPI’s will be easy to display on the shop floor in real time. It will also be possible to summarize how well projects have succeeded, and highlight problems. We make the grade with the development of FLOW. Its features increasingly resemble those of commercial MES-systems

Full textAbstract:
Customization is an important way for suppliers to offer value to customers and to be competitive. There is a variety of methods suppliers can adopt to offer customization. What they have in common is that some form of interaction between customer and supplier is required as customization is based on involving individual customers in specifying a solution to be produced. This can be achieved, for example, by allowing the customer to choose from components or values that have been defined in advance, later to be assembled or put together according to the customer's wishes. As the possibilities for customization are clearly defined in advance, the supplier can rationalize their procedure to capture customer needs and propose an appropriate solution. This differs from cases where the customer is already involved in the development, design, or engineering stage ± so-called engineer-to-order (ETO) scenarios. Here, the customer is not bound to predefined possibilities for customization, which means that the interaction required to define the solution can extend beyond that required when customization possibilities are predefined and thus limited. In this thesis, customization-based interaction in ETO is investigated, both with the intention of improving the understanding of interaction in this context as such but also to offer ways of explaining how some approaches to customization have implications for interaction that differ from others. The result of the research consists of an account of how interaction is manifested in ETO and how different approaches to customization can be understood to clarify their implications for how solutions are defined.Kundanpassning är ett viktigt sätt för leverantörer att erbjuda värde till sina kunder och på så vis vara konkurrenskraftiga. Det finns en rad olika metoder som leverantörer kan anta för att erbjuda kundanpassning. Gemensamt är att någon form av interaktion mellan kund och leverantör förutsätts, då kundanpassning baseras på att involvera den enskilda kunden i att specificera den lösning som ska produceras. Det kan exempelvis göras genom att kunden tillåts välja mellan olika komponenter eller värden som definierats i förväg, som därefter monteras eller sätts samman enligt kundens önskemål. Eftersom möjligheterna till kundanpassning är tydligt definierade i förväg kan leverantören därför rationalisera deras procedur för att fånga upp kundkrav och föreslå en lämplig lösning. Denna metod skiljer sig från fall då kunden involveras redan i utvecklings, design, eller konstruktionsfasen, så kallade konstruktion-mot-order (engineer-to-order, ETO) scenarion. Kunden är i dessa fall inte bunden till fördefinierade möjligheter för kundanpassning, vilket gör att interaktionen som krävs för att definiera lösningen inte kan rationaliseras i samma utsträckning. I denna uppsats undersöks kundanpassningsbaserad interaktion i ETO, både med avsikt att förbättra förståelsen för interaktion i denna kontext som sådan men även för att erbjuda sätt att förklara hur vissa förhållningssätt till kundanpassning har implikationer för interaktion som skiljer sig från andra. Resultatet av forskningen utgörs av en redogörelse för hur interaktion tar sitt uttryck i ETO samt hur olika förhållningssätt till kundanpassning kan förstås för att tydliggöra deras innebörd för hur lösningar definieras.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le développement des structures opératoires et se réfère plus précisément a la notion de l'inclusion des classes et à celle de la conservation physique. Notre approche vise à mettre à l'épreuve les thèses de Piaget concernant un développement cognitif unitaire dont les grandes étapes se succèdent obligatoirement. Pour ce faire, nous avons adapté les épreuves piagétiennes a notre milieu d'expérimentation: milieu Eton. Nous avons abouti à des épreuves de deux ordres: faiblement adaptées et fortement adaptées. Puis nous les avons appliquées en eton à un groupe d'enfants etons au Cameroun. 160 enfants scolarises âgés de 6. 0 à 13. 11, ont été repartis en 4 groupes équivalents selon l’âge. Les résultats obtenus ont fait l'objet des comparaisons entre milieu villageois et urbain d'une part, entre milieu eton et genevois d'autre part. Ils montrent entre autre que les enfants etons acquièrent les deux notions étudiées. Néanmoins, le faible nombre des enfants incluant avant 11 ans comparativement aux résultats de Piaget nous amène à nous demander si l'enfant eton coupe-circuit l'étape d'inclusion empirique pour atteindre celle des réponses logiques. De même les résultats aux épreuves de conservation ne mettent pas en évidence les stages piagétiens du développement. Enfin, l'analyse de variance montre que chez les enfants d’âge intermédiaire, l'adaptation des épreuves a plus d'impact pour le milieu qui réussit le moins. Les réponses d'inclusion, de conservation et leurs justifications ont été étudiées en fonction de l’âge, du milieu et des situations expérimentales. Elles nous amènent à conclure à l'existence du distinctif culturel, ce quelque chose qui influence fortement la mise en place en système fonctionnel des processus fondamentaux et la manière dont ces systèmes fonctionnels sont appliques à n'importe quelle situation donnéeThis thesis deals with the development of structures operatoires it refers more precisely to the notion of class inclusion and of matter conservation. Our approach to this aims at testing of piaget about a cognitive development systel where the main stages necessarily follow cach other on an irreversible way. Therefore, we have adapted piaget's test to our experimenting milieu which is the eton milieu. We have obtained two kind of tests: a quite weakly adapted to the experimenting milieu one, and a strongly adaptad one. A 160 scholar children were shared out amongst four groups according to their age. From 6. 0 - 13. 11. Thanks to the results we were able to compare the rural milieu from the urban one, and the genevan milieu from the eton one. We found for instance that the eton's children could acquire both notion of inclusion and conservation. Nevertheless, because of the very few number of children who could include before the age of eleven comparatively to the results of piaget, we may wonder whether the eton child reaches the stage of logical answers without going through the empirical inclusion one. Also, the results from the test of conservation doesn't make obvious the piaget's stage of development. At last but not least, the analyse of variance shows that the adaptation of the tests is more important for the less successful part of the eton milieu. The answers of inclusion, of conservation and their justifications were studied according to the age, the milieu and the experimenting situation. They lead us to conclude to the existence of the distinctif culturel, this entity that deeply influence the setting of fundamental processes into functional system, and the way they are applied in any specific situation

Full textAbstract:
ohn Milton (1608-1674) lived in an age marked by religious discussion. The English
Civil War (1640) had one of its supporters involving religion, literary texts were
composed with biblical allegories, and Milton, following the habits of his own time,
created literary works with sacred influence. For this reason and for a long time,
Paradise Lost has been seen under the biblical myth that served as material basis
for the composition of the epic. Before the Romantics, few critics had dared to leave
the comfort zone and had rehearsed an analysis that took care of other aspects
besides the contributions of classical authors and literary works or the biblical myth
itself. The Romantics opened up a new critical line which was concerned with the
characters of Paradise Lost, in special Satan. They heard the voices that bring to life
the epic narrative and they had found a model for their own age. The heroic noble
Satan of the Romantics, however, does not respond to the complexity of the
character. Far from being a mere embodiment of evil, an element that can be blamed
for all misfortune, the Miltonic Satan has in himself traces from the anterior good. He
is victimized by the understanding of his present and slaughtered with the memories
of his past; the character is placed between the image of a great leader externalized
to the other angels, and the doubts that overcome his thoughts. This thesis aims to
counteract these two parts of the character.John Milton (1608-1674) viveu em um período marcado pela discussão religiosa. A guerra civil inglesa (1640) tivera um de seus suportes envolvendo a religião, textos literários foram compostos com alegorias bíblicas, e Milton, seguindo os hábitos de seu tempo, criou obras com influência sacra. O Paradise Lost, por causa disso, foi, durante muito tempo, observado à luz do mito bíblico que serviu de matéria base para a composição do épico. Antes dos românticos, poucos críticos ousaram sair da zona de conforto e ensaiaram uma análise que cuidava de outros aspectos além da contribuição de autores e obras clássicas ou do mito bíblico. Com os românticos, abriu-se definitivamente uma linha crítica atenta às personagens do Paradise Lost, em especial de Satã. Eles ouviram as vozes que dão vida à narrativa épica e descobriram um modelo para o seu próprio tempo. O Satã heróico e nobre dos românticos, no entanto, não responde à complexidade da personagem. Longe de ser uma mera materialização do mal, um elemento que possa ser culpado por todo o infortúnio, o Satã de Milton abriga em si vestígios do bem anterior. Vitimado pela compreensão de seu presente e abatido com as memórias do passado, a personagem coloca-se entre a imagem de grande líder exteriorizada aos outros anjos e as dúvidas que dominam os seus pensamentos. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo contrapor essas duas partes da personagem.

Background The International Council of Nurses (ICN) states in it’s ethical code that the nurse practitioner is responsible for giving each patient correct and culturally adapted care. Military culture is unique and comes with its own challenges and needs of nursing care. Aim The aim is to find the prominent nursing diagnoses in military personnel in relation to the military ethos. Method A literature review of twenty articles found through searches in PubMed, Cinhal and Summon. Results The prominent nursing diagnoses were risk-prone health behavior together with pain issues and sleep disturbances. Two thirds of military personnel consumed high amounts of alcohol, pain issues was the most prevalent, up to half of all personnel experienced sleep disturbances and willingness to seek care was low. Stress, depression, consequences of pain and effects on the family process was also found. Result of military duty could also be infections, wounds, dermatological problems, hearing impairment and diarrhea. Conclusion Military culture is unique and reports health differently than the civilian population. Because of this it is important to know the prominent diagnoses to be able to give this patient group appropriate nursing interventions and competent care.Bakgrund I enlighet med International Council of Nurses (ICN) etiska kod har sjuksköterskan ett ansvar för att varje person ska få en korrekt, tillfredsställande och kulturellt anpassad information som grund till sin vård och behandling. Militärkulturen ger upphov till en patientgrupp med unika behov och detta skall styra vården. Syfte Syftet är att genom en litteraturstudie förstå vilka omvårdnadsdiagnoser som är framträdande hos militärpersonal med relation till militärt etos. Metod En litteraturstudie av artiklar (n=20) genom sökningar i PubMed, Cinhal och Summon. Resultat Riskfyllt hälsobeteende var största temat följt av smärta och sömnproblematik. Hos militärpersonal var alkoholkonsumtion hög hos två tredjedelar, smärta hade högst prevalens, påverkan på sömnen återfanns i upp till hälften av personalen och viljan att söka vård var nedsatt. Stress, depression, smärtkonsekvenser samt påverkade familjerelationer och processer återfanns. Följder av tjänstgöringen var infektioner, hudskada, hudåkommor, hörselnedsättning och diarré. Slutsats Militärkulturen är unik och underrapporterar ohälsa, därför behövs det en förståelse för de framträdande omvårdnadsdiagnoserna för att kunna ge denna patientgrupp god vård.

Ethanol (EtOH) abuse is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Mounting evidence indicates that EtOH-induced neuropathology may result from multicellular responses in which microglia cells play a prominent role. Purinergic receptor signaling plays a key role in regulating microglial function and, more importantly, mediates EtOH-induced effects. In our current study we sought to determine the effects of EtOH on microglial cell function, specifically the role of purinergic receptor X4 (P2X4) in EtOH-mediated microglial responses. Our results show a significant up-regulation of P2X4 gene expression as analyzed by real-time qPCR and protein expression as analyzed by flow cytometry in embryonic stem cell-derived microglial cells (ESdM) after 48 hours of EtOH treatment, as compared to untreated controls. Calcium mobilization in EtOH treated ESdM cells was found to be P2X4R- dependent using 5-BDBD, a selective P2X4R antagonist. Blocking P2X4R signaling with 5-BDBD decreased the level of calcium mobilization compared to EtOH treatment alone. EtOH decreased migration of microglia towards fractalkine (CX3CL1) by 75% following 48 hours of treatment compared to control. CX3CL1-dependent migration was confirmed to be P2X4 receptor-dependent using the antagonist 5-BDBD, which reversed the effects as compared to EtOH alone. Similarly, 48 hours of EtOH treatment significantly decreased phagocytosis of microglia by 15% compared to control. 5-BDBD pre-treatment prior to EtOH treatment significantly increased microglial phagocytosis. These findings demonstrate that P2X4 receptor may play a role in modulating important regulatory functions in microglia in the context of EtOH abuse. P2X4R plays an important regulatory function in microglia. P2X4 is involved in a myriad of molecular signaling such as proliferation, activation of transcription factors, specifically through the MAPK pathway, and ATP signaling. Here, we also investigated the intracellular signal transduction pathway that influences P2X4R expression in microglia in response to EtOH. We found EtOH (100 mM) decreased phosphorylated AKT and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascades in ESdM cells. EtOH effect on ERK phosphorylation was completely inhibited by U0126, an inhibitor of MEK 1 and 2. However, PD98095, a potent inhibitor of MEK1 but a weak inhibitor of MEK2 had modest effect on phosphorylated ERK1/2 suggesting a possible role of MEK2-dependent ERK signaling in modulating EtOH induced effects on microglia. Utilization of 5-BDBD, a selective P2X4R antagonist reversed the EtOH-induced effect on phosphorylated AKT and ERK. Next we wanted to examine the effects of EtOH on transcription factor activity to determine the signaling mediators, which may play a role in EtOH-induced increase in P2X4R in microglia. EtOH increased transcriptional activity of NFκB, NFAT, and CREB,, however 5-BDBD blocked the effect on CREB transcriptional activity alone, suggesting a specific role of CREB in EtOH-induced expression of P2X4R in microglia. In summary, EtOH affects the expression of P2X4R in microglial cells and contributes to aberrant microglial effector function including phagocytosis and migration as well as alterations in calcium mobilization. Furthermore, pharmacological blockade with a selective P2X4R antagonist reversed the action, suggesting that P2X4R may play a role in mediating EtOH-induced effects on microglia. EtOH decreased expression of ERK and AKT, which was blocked with the P2X4R antagonist, suggesting EtOH effect may contribute to irregular microglial signaling. Investigations regarding transcription factor NFκB, NFAT and CREB activity in response to EtOH, all showed an increase after EtOH treatment, however P2X4R antagonist only had an effect on CREB, blocking the effect of EtOH on its activity. Determining the mechanism underlying EtOH-induced increase in P2X4R expression still remains unclear. This research was conducted to investigate the importance of P2X4R signaling in EtOH-mediate microglial function. Although many more questions remain unanswered, these experiments have provided evidence to target purinergic receptor X4 as a potential mediator of EtOH-induced effects in microglia.

Full textAbstract:
Today’s manufacturing industry is characterized by being highly competitive and drives companies to strive for more efficient product and production system development. One way of achieving this, is by continuous improvement of processes. One important part of lowering waste is by an efficient production planning. A competitive production system can improve product quality, decrease costs, and improve the general efficiency. Engineering-to-order (ETO) systems face a challenge due to the difficulty to attain an efficient production planning. The difficulty strives from the complex character of the manufacturing processes and the uniqueness of product properties, which makes a good standardization work a challenge. ETO companies often have high reliance on manual-labor with manual data acquisition, which makes it hard to perform effective production planning with high accuracy. One common technique for executing production planning in the ETO-industry represent a multivariate regression analysis The thesis includes a case study that examines how regression analysis used for production planning within a production of an ETO company can be improved and what effects it has on processes and departments within the company. The problem was addressed by a mixed method approach, qualitative data were collected from semi-structured interviews, observations, and a thorough literature review and quantitative data were mainly collected through document studies. The study shows that regression analysis is suitable for production planning in the ETO industry while emphasizing the importance of high-quality data, partly through implementation of standardizations. The updated model improves main processes in production which in turn gives rise to improvements in support processes performed by other departments.

The American military experience in the European Theater of Operations during the Second World War is one of the most heavily documented topics in modern historiography. However, within this plethora of scholarship, very little has been written on the contributions of the American corps cavalry to the operational success of the Allied forces. The 13 mechanized cavalry groups deployed by the U.S. Army served in a variety of roles, conducting screens, counter-reconnaissance, as well as a number of other associated security missions for their parent corps and armies. Although unheralded, these groups made substantial and war-altering impacts for the U.S. Army.

The competition in the manufacturing industry has never been higher. Owing to the technological changes and advancements in the market, readily available data is no longer a thing of the past. Numerous studies have discussed the impact of industry 4.0, digital transformation as well as better production planning methods in the manufacturing industry. The Mass-Manufacturing industry, in specific, has gained efficiency levels in production that were previously unimaginable. Industry 4.0 has been discussed as the ‘next big thing’ in the manufacturing context. In fact, it is seen as a necessity for manufacturing companies to stay competitive. However, efficient production planning methodologies are a preliminary requirement in order to successfully adopt the new manufacturing paradigms. The Engineering-to-order (ETO) industry is still widely unexplored by the academia ETO industries, barely have any production planning methodologies to rely on owing to their complex production processes and high reliance on manual-labour. Regression techniques have repeatedly been used in the production planning context. Considering its statistical prowess, it is no surprise that even the newer machine-learning techniques are based on regression. Considering its success in the mass-manufacturing industry for production planning, is it possible that its usage in the ETO industry might lead to the same results? This thesis involves a case study that was performed at an electrical transformer manufacturing plant in Sweden. After understanding the several operations that are performed in the production process, regression techniques are employed to estimate man-hours. The results from the study reconfirm the statistical prowess of regression and show the possibility of using regression in order to estimate man-hours in the ETO industry. In addition, several factors that can affect successful adoption of this tool in the production planning context are discussed. It is hoped that this study will lay the foundation for better production planning methodologies for the ETO industries in the future which might subsequently result in more data-driven decision making rather than instincts.

Full textAbstract:
Plutôt que de réduire les inégalités professionnelles entre hommes et femmes à un problème de choix, d’incitations ou de pure discrimination, nous proposons d’examiner ce phénomène à travers la question de l’évaluation du travail. L’approche conventionnaliste mobilisée accorde une place majeure au processus d’évaluation de la qualité du travail : celui-ci ne se résume pas à une simple coordination des acteurs autour d’un critère de sélection, il mobilise une représentation collective et consensuelle du « bon » salarié, i.e. une convention de qualité. Une même entreprise est traversée par une pluralité de conventions de qualité. Nous faisons l’hypothèse que la mobilisation de certaines d’entre elles explique l’exclusion durable des femmes de certains postes (le plafond de verre) ou de certaines filières évolutives. Une étude économétrique de la progression des cadres et des ETAM chez un constructeur automobile est proposée. Elle permet d’isoler les déterminants objectifs des carrières, considérés comme autant de critères d’évaluation, et d’évaluer leurs impacts sur les trajectoires des hommes et des femmes. Une étude qualitative par entretiens affine notre prospection des modes d’évaluation et permet de comprendre comment des processus de gestion, apparemment neutres, s’avèrent in fine défavorables aux femmes. Ces résultats plaident pour un examen plus fin des pratiques d’évaluation dans le diagnostic des inégalités professionnelles. Ils soutiennent également la stratégie d’égalité négociée défendue depuis peu par les pouvoirs publics : pour plus d’efficacité, les politiques publiques doivent favoriser des formes de régulation plus proches de la réalité des entreprisesRather than reducing gender inequality with a problem of choice of incentives or pure discrimination, we propose to examine this phenomenon through the issue of labour quality. The assessment of labour quality is not just a simple coordination of actors around a selection criterion; it mobilizes a collective and consensual representation of “skilled” labourer, i.e. a quality convention. A firm is crossed by a plurality of quality conventions. We hypothesize that mobilization of some of them explains horizontal and vertical segregation (glass ceiling) by gender within organisation. An econometric study of the progression of managers and employees in a car manufacturer is proposed. This study helps us to isolate the determinants of career and assess their impact on the career paths of men and women. A qualitative interview study refines our exploration of evaluation methods and helps us to understand how business processes, apparently neutral, proved ultimately detrimental to women. These findings argue for a more practical purpose of evaluation in the diagnosis of occupational inequality. They also support the strategy of mainstreaming advocated recently by the EU and French government: to improve their efficiency, gender politics should promote forms of regulation closer to business reality

Full textAbstract:
Excitotoxicity can lead to increases in intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations via the glutamatergic NMDA receptors, which can lead to cell death. Detailing the time-dependent degradation of neuronal components in response to excitotoxic challenge may help elucidate the sequence in which these signaling pathways are initiated and further, associate these pathways with topographic cellular demise. Using organotypic hippocampal slice culture technique, tissue from neonatal rat pups was exposed to NMDA, APV, or co-exposed for 24, 72 or 120 hours. Fluorescent microscopy of propidium iodide (PI) was used to evaluate neuronal membrane damage, changes in the density of mature soma (NeuN) and NMDA NR2B subunits were measured using immunohistochemical procedures. After 24 hours of exposure, the CA1 showed an increased PI signal and a decrease in NeuN marker, indicating somatic injury occurs shortly after excitotoxic challenge; these effects were blocked by co-administration of APV. Also in the CA1, loss of NR2B subunits, heavily expressed in dendritic processes, declined following 72 hours of exposure. Because somatic injury precedes loss of distal NR2B subunits, it is possible that these events involve different mechanisms, findings that may be relevant in the development of therapies to target neurodegeneration resulting from excitotoxicity.

ERP systems are useful for MTS and ATO manufacturing strategies. When evaluating the ERP systems in an ETO environment there is not much research available on the matter, but the general understanding is that ERP system lacks specific business processes that are special to companies in the sector. In addition, the few studies that are available on the subject conclude that there is need for more empirical studies. By conducting a thorough literature study on the topics ERP, ETO, and project life-cycle processes, information was gathered and used for creating a survey and interview questions. All the questions were based on how companies handled the business processes that were considered critical in an ERP solution for ETO companies. The companies that participated in the case study were in the maritime and offshore ETO segment and they were currently using the ERP software Microsoft Dynamics AX. The results from the surveys are a contribution to the empirical study this specific area of research needs. During the evaluation of the current solutions there were areas where AX was not sufficient at all, areas where AX needed extra functionality, and areas where AX was sufficient. Where AX was not performing up to standards, new software had been implemented and most often integrated with AX. Industry specific requirements had also been included as new, customizable functionality in AX. This extra functionality was very important because of the focus on a specific industry. In conclusion, the findings from the case studies were used to generate requirements that represented real needs to be fulfilled by an eventual solution. The general solution was therefore based on a combination of “best-practice” solutions from all three cases. Benefits of the solution were also identified.

Full textAbstract:
Sharing Knowledge is considered an important part of managing new product development (NPD) research on the process of NPD and Knowledge Management methods have influenced industry in various ways. For example the management of the NPD process, the use of tools, techniques and the organisation of teams, and the integration of the marketing and manufacturing have resulted in considerable progress within NPD process. Prior studies on the NPD problems have delivered various models of the NPD process and a variety of supporting methods, tools and techniques in a generic context. A more realistic scenario however, is to consider the needs of firms that develop products on a Make-to-Order (MTO) or Engineer-to-Order (ETO) basis. The research methodology adopted was based on extracting a preliminary ETO model supported by variety of Knowledge Management methods, tools and techniques from the review of literature. To examine the applicability of these models and methods and also the influential factors on the NPD process a survey by questionnaire and structured interviews in UK industrial companies was carried out. Findings were bound together to provide a generic model of the ETO process and a framework for the knowledge sharing on the specific needs of ETO manufacturing companies. IDEFO technique was used to develop the preliminary and the generic models. The objective of this research is to construct a structured and practical framework for supporting the opportunity for knowledge sharing within one-off projects. The knowledge sharing framework referred to as 'Sharing-ETO-Knowledge' (SETOK) was translated into a computer program using the "MS Visio' enterprise modelling systems. It was examined by applying the system program to the data of the two cases that had been obtained at the case study stage. The framework has been fruitful in the provision of a guideline for the implementation of the knowledge sharing in various NPD-ETO projects. The SETOK framework may be viewed as a practical, robust generic tool to assess the process performance of ETO manufacturing projects. The outcome of this study would help ETO manufacturing companies in their knowledge sharing and decision making processes with regards to NPD-ETO manufacturing projects.

Advancements in the power electronics systems have been directly related to the availability of improved power semiconductor devices. The device performance greatly determines the efficiency, reliability, volume, and cost of the power electronics system. This dissertation is dedicated to develop an advanced high power semiconductor device, the emitter turn-off (ETO) thyristor, which is targeted to improve the limitations of the present high power devices.
Major improvements in electrical and mechanical designs of the ETO for high power and high frequency operation are proposed which result in improved snubberless turn-off capability, low conduction loss, and low gate drive power consumption of the new generation ETO.
A revolutionary self-power generation method of the ETO is proposed. Different from the conventional high power devices which require the external power input for their gate drivers, ETO achieves complete optically controlled turn-on and turn-off and all the internal power required is self-generated. This advancement will have a major impact to high power converter designs.
A novel integrated method to eliminate the dead-time requirement is proposed for ETO. This method not only improves the output waveform quality but also increases the reliability and reduces the cost of the high power PWM voltage source converters. With this unique function, the upper and the lower ETO's within a converter phase leg can receive the ideal complementary (without dead-time) PWM signals and solve shoot-through problems.
Method to measure the ETO current and transfer the current information to a PWM signal is proposed. Based on the ETO's built-in current sensor, the over-current protection function of the ETO is designed as well. The experimental results show that the built-in current sensor has a very high precision, and the over-current protection function can effectively protect the ETO during the short circuit faults.
In order to improve ETO's turn-off capability, a comprehensive investigation of the turn-off failure mechanism of the ETO was performed. A series of simulations and experiments are carried out to study the ETO turn-off operation. The detail turn-off failure mechanisms are presented. The conditions to cause the ETO failure are addressed. The approaches to improve the ETO's turn-off capability are discussed.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o Imperador do Japão perdeu sua soberania e passou a ser símbolo da nação e da união do povo japonês, de acordo com a Constituição promulgada em 1947, sendo suas funções basicamente cerimoniais e diplomáticas. Pensando nesse Imperador enquanto símbolo e no futuro da instituição imperial no Japão, a presente dissertação objetivou principalmente analisar que imagem o Imperador Akihito cria de si por meio de suas alocuções. Tais alocuções se encontram disponíveis no sítio eletrônico da Agência da Casa Imperial, tanto no original em japonês quanto em inglês. Dessa forma, considerando que a disponibilidade dos textos em japonês pressupõe coenunciadores nipônicos e a dos textos em inglês pressupõe a comunidade internacional como coenunciadores, analisaram-se as imagens criadas nos dois casos, buscando indícios de possíveis diferenças na criação do etos de Akihito em cada uma das versões de suas alocuções. Além disso, buscou-se também pensar as relações de poder, segundo Foucault (1995, 2010), no córpus de pesquisa. Como arcabouço teórico, utilizaram-se conceitos da Análise do Discurso de base enunciativa, mais precisamente o conceito de etos na leitura de Maingueneau (1997, 2001b). O material de análise coletado abrange conferências de imprensa realizadas por ocasião da comemoração de dez e vinte anos de reinado de Akihito, nos anos de 1999 e 2009, respectivamente. A metodologia de pesquisa, por sua vez, consistiu em se analisar de forma comparativa os textos em japonês com aqueles em inglês, tendo como foco as ocorrências do verbo japonês omou, que expressa sentimento e julgamento, recorrente nas alocuções do Imperador. Analisaram-se também as ocorrências de modalidades deônticas em ambas as versões do texto, acreditando-se que a pouca ocorrência dessas também contribui para se pensar a imagem do Imperador. Como resultado, verificaram-se diferenças significativas entre as duas versões das alocuções. O etos de Akihito nas alocuções em japonês sugere um Imperador amigo e próximo do povo, de tom moderado e amenizado, criando identificação entre ele e o povo. O etos apreendido na versão em inglês, por sua vez, sugere um Imperador mais firme em suas convicções, ora enfatizando mais seus sentimentos e opiniões, ora menos, conferindo-se certa ocidentalização de sua imagem. Pensando-se em termos de relação de poder, que caracteriza controle e divulgação, também se concluiu que, sendo o Japão o maior aliado capitalista no Oriente e seu Imperador, representante simbólico desse país, parece pertinente que suas alocuções estejam disponíveis de forma tal que possibilite um controle constante por parte da comunidade internacional, garantindo a ordem capitalistaAfter the Second World War, the Emperor of Japan lost his sovereignty and became symbol of the nation and of the unity of the Japanese people, according to the Constitution promulgated in 1947, being his functions basically ceremonials and diplomatics. Thinking of this Emperor as symbol and of the future of the imperial institution in Japan, the present dissertation tried to analyze what image Emperor Akihito creates of himself through his allocutions. Such allocutions are available on Imperial Household Agencys website in both Japanese and English. Therefore, considering that the availability of the texts in Japanese predicates Japanese coenunciators and that of the texts in English predicates the international community as coenunciators, the images created in both cases were analyzed, searching for signs of possible differences in the creation of the ethos of Akihito in both versions of his allocutions. Furthermore, one also tried to think the power relations, according to Foucault (1995, 2010), in the research corpus. For theoretical basis, concepts of the enunciative Discourse Analysis were used, more specifically the concept of ethos in Maingueneaus view (1997, 2011b). The collected material of analysis comprehends press conferences occurred in the occasion of celebrations for ten and twenty years of the enthronement of Akihito, in the years of 1999 and 2009, respectively. The methodology of research consisted in analyzing in a comparative way the texts in Japanese with the ones in English, focusing the occurrences of the Japanese verb omou, which expresses sentiment and judgment, recurrent in the Emperors allocutions. One has also analyzed the occurrences of deontic modalities in both versions of the text, considering that their few occurrences also contribute to think the Emperors image. As a result, significative differences between the two versions of the allocutions were observed. The ethos of Akihito in the allocutions in Japanese suggests an emperor that is friend and closer to the people, with a soft and moderate tone, in a way that creates identification between people and him. The ethos apprehended in the English version, on the other hand, suggests an Emperor who is stronger in his convictions, sometimes emphasizing more his feelings and opinions, sometimes less, leading to some westernization of his image. Thinking in terms of power relation, which characterize control and disclosure, one has also concluded that, being Japan the biggest capitalist ally in the East and its Emperor, symbolic representative of this country, it seems relevant that his allocutions are available in such a way that it becomes possible for the international community to exercise continuous control, ensuring the capitalist order

Consultants have had an increased influence in the public sector which in return have created a need for consultants in different aspects of public organizations. This comparative case study has inquired the many-sided ramifications of increasing use of consultants in public organizations. The method of analyzing the different impacts of consultant use has been through an ethical lens based on Lundquist theory of “public ethos” together with Furustens consequences of consultant use to easier identify negative consultant impact on public organizations. The result of this study shows that increasing reliance of consultants can lead to a misrepresentation of the goals and scope of operation within public organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Den kommunala förvaltningen har de senaste decennierna varit föremål för omfattande reformer. Kommunallagen som är en ramlag, reglerar kommunernas organisation och ansvarsområden. Det innebär att kommuner tillåts i stor utsträckning fritt avgöra hur verksamheter och åtaganden ska organiseras. Kommunala aktiebolag, även kallade för hybridorganisationer är idag ett vanligt inslag i den kommunala organisationen. Forskning visar att införandet av New Public Management i offentligt förvaltning b.la. bidragit till en ökning av antalet kommunala aktiebolag. Organisationsformen innebär att betydelsefulla verksamheter positionerats mellan det offentliga och privata, vilket medför implikationer för granskning och ansvarsutkrävande. Vidare har forskningen även påvisat att NPM bidragit till att göra ekonomivärdena centrala i verksamheterna. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt från teorin om vårt offentliga etos, en uppsättning demokrati- och ekonomivärden som bör prägla varje offentlig anställd. Utvecklingen visar dock att ekonomivärdena i form av kostnadseffektivitet och produktivitet fått en mer framträdande roll i den offentliga förvaltningen, på bekostnad av demokrativärdena. Genom en enkätundersökning kommer tjänstepersoner i respektive bolag få möjlighet att besvara ett antal påståenden formulerade utifrån vårt offentliga etos. Parallellt med enkätundersökningen kommer ägardirektiv och bolagsordning för respektive bolag att vara föremål för en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Bolagen som inkluderas i uppsatsen är verksamma i varsin kommun, den ena kommunen har oavbrutet varit borgerligt styrd sedan 1976 medan den andra kommunen varit socialistiskt styrd sedan 1976. Mot bakgrund av tidigare forskning innehåller uppsatsen en övergripande hypotes att; politiskt majoritet inte påverkar utfallet i resultatet. Resultatet av enkätundersökningen uppvisar en bredare enighet kring ekonomivärdena till skillnad mot demokrativärdena. Resultatet av innehållsanalysen är desto tydligare, den visar att demokrativärdena i båda bolagen är framträdande.

Full textAbstract:
Le phytomanagement est une méthode de gestion de sites pollués basée sur la capacité des plantes à séquestrer les polluants. L’utilisation de symbiotes fongiques peut représenter un atout afin d’augmenter la production de biomasse. Les endophytes bruns septés (DSE) pourraient stimuler la croissance végétale et augmenter leur protection contre les éléments-traces-métalliques (ETM). Cette thèse se déroule dans le cadre du projet LORVER et vise à comprendre l’interaction « plantes-DSE-sols pollués ». A ces fins, des champignons DSE isolés de racines de peupliers issues de sols pollués par des ETM ont été caractérisés. Ils appartiennent aux genres Leptodontidium, Phialophora, Cadophora et Phialocephala. Trois de ces souches ont ensuite été inoculées à des plantes en présence d’ETM. Dans certains cas, la croissance végétale a été stimulée et une augmentation de la teneur en chlorophylles, en P et en K, ou une réduction de la teneur en Cd dans les parties aériennes ont été mises en évidence. Puis, la souche la plus efficace sur la croissance végétale, Cadophora sp. Fe06, a été utilisée dans un double inoculum avec une souche endomycorhizienne, chez du ray-grass en présence d’ETM. Cette association diminue la teneur en Cd dans les feuilles. Enfin, les mécanismes impliqués dans la tolérance aux ETM chez les DSE ont été examinés via le criblage d’une banque de mutants d’insertions aléatoires, et via l’étude du rôle de la mélanine. Ce travail met en évidence que l’utilisation de DSE, de part leur capacité à coloniser de nombreuses plantes dans différents sols et à stimuler leur croissance, pourrait représenter un atout considérable pour des opérations de phytomanagementPhytomanagement is a handling method of contaminated sites based on the ability of plants to sequester pollutants. Fungi could favor plant growth in contaminated sites but were far less studied in the context of phytomanagement. Dark septate endophytes (DSE) were reported to improve plant tolerance against metallic trace elements (TE). The present work is part of the LORVER project and aims to understand the “plant-DSE-TE”. DSE were isolated from poplar roots growing on TE-contaminated soils and characterized. They belong to Leptodontidium, Phialophora, Cadophora and Phialocephala genera. Three strains were inoculated to birch and poplar in TE-contaminated soils. Leptodontidium sp. improved plant growth with an increase in chlorophyll, P and K concentrations, whereas Cadophora sp. decreased Cd concentration in shoots of birch. Then, Cadophora sp. Fe06, was used with an endomycorrhizal fungus, to co-inoculate ryegrass in a TE-polluted soil. The co-inoculation leads to the decrease of Cd concentration in shoots. Finally, the mechanisms involved in TE-tolerance by DSE were studied through the screening of a library of Leptondontidium sp. insertional random-mutants and an evaluation of the role of melanin against TE stress. The present work highlights the complexity of the interactions between DSE and plants under TE stress. These interactions were influenced by different parameters including plant species, DSE strains, and soil properties. Nevertheless, the ability of DSE to colonize a broad spectrum of plants in different soils and to promote plant growth, suggest that DSE could represent a substantial benefit for the fungus-assisted phytomanagement of polluted soils

Full textAbstract:
Lean management is considered a key to lead time reduction while being efficient, in order to survive in the actual market. Despite this, there is relatively little research done about implementation of lean management in ETO processes. Knowing that ETO processes are a reality in the industry, because there is a demand of customized products in the market. Nonetheless, the early phases of the ETO processes are critical. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate how lean management can be used to understand and early phases of ETO processes, in order to evaluate potential lead time reduction. Analysing issues that arise when implementing lean in this kind of processes, such as variety, variation and standardization. The empirical data was collected from two different companies with ETO processes on different stages of lean implementation. A theoretical background in the area is supported by a comparison of the historical development and current state of two companies. The access to these two companies provides a view of the state before lean implementation and during implementation, and also a brief view of the effects. This helps to understand how lean management could be implemented in ETO processes. As a result, this research describes what should be considered when implementing lean management in early phases of ETO processes and what the effect of this implementation could be.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis emphasizes the pivotal role that the Monin-Obukhov length (L) can play within the energy balance method for calculating evapotranspiration (ET) from remotely sensed multi spectral data. It focuses on the possibility of using L as a cornerstone parameter for calculations of sensible heat flux from the pixel data, which can be separated from the other unknowns and can be found by means of any general root finding method. The work goes on to show that all other output parameters can be calculated directly from the value of L that is established, and an analytical expression for the evaporative fraction found. A novel approach is proposed that allows a close approximation of the evaporative fraction to be derived directly without the need for time-consuming iterations within the main calculation step. The energy balance approach for calculating ET from remotely sensed data requires that near-surface air temperature be established from surface temperatures. To do this a linear calibration between surface and near surface temperature is required, which is provided by a calibration procedure by means of selection of a dry and a wet pixel within the image. The work demonstrates the importance of appropriate selection of the dry pixel temperature used for calibration on the ET estimate. It goes on to develop a procedure for refining the selection of the most appropriate hot pixel based on albedo, and water and vegetation indices. The proposed approach bounds the possible error to less than 13%. The work assesses the potential error in the estimate of ET associated with establishing surface temperature from remotely sensed data and looks at the potential value of remotely sensed surface temperature correction models. It shows that error arising from poor determination of surface temperature was less than 3.5% in most cases, although it could reach up to 9% in hot arid environments with small areas of transpiring vegetation.

The aim of this study is to examine the neutral position of the public libraries in correlations to their including and democratic standards while managing political controversial material that can be viewed as xenophobic. The libraries aim is to work towards information availability to all and enabling the societal right to form an opinion. They’re an open arena for the democratic society with a strong sense of inclusion. But what happens when an opinion that is of xenophobic character speaks up? This material can put societal groups in discomfort. The study aims to find the tension in where does the public library stand in the tension of the neutral and political ethos, as well as what are the difficulties they can come to face? The data was gathered through the use of semi-structured interviews with five public librarians at five libraries located around the southern part of Sweden. New institutional theory is the theory of choice since it focuses on how the institutionalized organization relates to the surrounding world. The library should be neutral and objective while evaluating information, but the study shows that there’s been ramifications to librarians’ evaluation and decision-making due to an opinion that adheres to human values. A selection must be made, the quality of the work should be the focus, not personal values. The discussion has shown that libraries institutional structure can be a product by a higher organization. At the same time, pressure is being put on the library from the society from all types of angles. This is a balancing act; the libraries adhere to the bylaws that they must follow. The bylaws in question are the library act but also the libraries self constructed media plans. But the core of it all lies in how the libraries express themselves during the evaluation and purchasing of material.
