We investigate the relationship between product and supply chain architectures. Both products and supply chains can have modular as well as integral designs. We synthesize previous research on both product and supply chain architectures and explore this relationship in a multi-method study, including a survey of 82 manufacturing firms and a multiple-case study of ten products and their respective
In this paper, we propose a time-recursive multipitch estimation algorithm using a sparse reconstruction framework, assuming that only a few pitches from a large set of candidates are active at each time instant. The proposed algorithm does not require any training data, and instead utilizes a sparse recursive least-squares formulation augmented by an adaptive penalty term specifically designed to
Post Conflict Futures is an ongoing project, where displaced Syrian academics meet in Visioning Labs and a global scenario group to jointly reflect on possible future developments and to look for actionable leverage points to work proactively for sustainable transitions. The collective visioning aims to identify aspects that may be critical in strategies for sustainable post conflict reconstructio
Humlesugan, Betonica officinalis L., är en avden skandinaviska florans sällsyntaste växteroch samtidigt en av de arter som har denlängsta dokumenterade historien. Den rapporteradesfrån Stehag väster om Ringsjön i Skåneav Christiern Pedersen redan 1534, Skånesäldsta litteraturuppgift där en växtart knytstill en lokal. I övriga Danmark beskrevs denmed lokaluppgift första gången av Peder LauridsenKyl
Hohe Tauern i Österrike är en av Europas vackrastenationalparker. I det artrika alplandskapet finnsbåde helt skyddade områden och zoner där bl.a.boskapsskötsel och bergsbruk tillåts.
To promote attainment and inclusion, Sweden offers tuition in migrant pupils’ mother tongues as a regular school subject. However, the formulation of learning aims is problematic, and resources allocated to the subject do not correspond to ambitions expressed in steering documents. This case study presents an analysis of the organization of Mother Tongue Studies at a highly diverse urban primary s

Global teaching and learning for sustainable development reaches from the classroom to the world outside, and is therefore a particularly interesting setting for practising transition skills. The article suggests a number of features perceived as crucial in developing young people's capability to act in a changing world and under circumstances that are difficult to predict. The suggestions are bas
Providing equal access to health care is an important objective in most health care systems. It is especially pertinent in systems like the Swedish primary care market, where providers are free to establish themselves in any part of the country. To improve equity in access to care, 15 out 21 county councils in Sweden have implemented risk-adjusted capitation based on the Care Need Index, which inc
The article presents results of a study made in the context of introducing bilingual instruction in Swedish and Arabic. Classroom interaction was videotaped in grades one to four at two urban schools. Based on the video material, an inventory was made of how Arabic was used by the bilingual teachers, and how it related to the corresponding Swedish content. Simplified language use, code-switching a
In this paper we compute long-term stock return expectations (across the business cycle) for individual firms using information backed out from the credit derivatives market. Our methodology builds on previous theoretical results in the literature on stock return expectations and, empirically, we demonstrate a close relationship between credit-implied stock return expectations and future realized
Any new technology and any form of contact between cultures will necessarily lead to change. ICTs are in this sense far from unique. However, ICTs have rapidly come to occupy a prominent position our societies, and are shaping the lives of young people in ways that we could not have imagined only a decade ago. These technologies allow almost immediate access to a wealth of knowledge and knowhow, a
