The paper presents application of lean engineering methods at design process re-engineering. Lean principles are harder to implement in an one-of-a-kind production environment rather than in an environment of a serial production, where there are almost no changes during production process. There are considerable differences in value-added activities that characterize lean production on one hand an
An investigation of velocity-based vibration metrics for predicting structure-borne noise in timber buildings is presented in the paper. The purpose of the study is to derive a robust metric based solely on the vibration response and with a known correlation to the acoustic response in a room. Such a measure is useful for establishing simplified numerical prediction models and for making robust co
The politicization of history education relating to colonialism in former major colonial powers, like Britain and France, and former colonies has for obvious reasons received ample scholarly attention. But how is colonial history represented in educational materials aimed at primary school students in countries with a less evident connection to colonialism? This paper considers the case of Sweden,
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis can negatively impact an individual's daily life in terms of work and interpersonal relationships. Patch-tested individuals show an improved quality of life (QoL). Objectives: We aimed to assess the impact on QoL after patch testing and what value an intervention would have on QoL. Methods: Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI) were assessed in participan
The authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel qu
Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) can result from emissions of volatile organic compounds from the materials of the building. A surface emissions trap (cTrap) can be used to stop such emissions thus preventing them from reaching the indoor air. The present study concerned an apartment where the tenants experienced skin and mucous membrane irritation due to moisture-driven emissions from the
У цій статті досліджено професійний підхід до ілюстрування книг для дітей та підлітків. Також визначено значення розвитку фантазії, образного мислення, виховання смаку та введення у світ сучасного мистецтва. Описано принципи оформлення та ілюстрування книг з урахуванням вікових особливостей сприйняття дітей, а також важливість привабливості ілюстрацій для зацікавлення маленьких читачів. РозглянутоThe purpose of the study is to investigate the possibilities of replacing the introductory version of MATLAB in educational disciplines related to digital image processing with an open and free analogue of GNU Octave. Using the example of laboratory tasks for the educational discipline "Digital Image Processing", similar capabilities, functionality and syntax of both software packages have been ex
У цій статті досліджено професійний підхід до ілюстрування книг для дітей та підлітків. Також визначено начення розвитку фантазії, образного мислення, виховання смаку та введення у світ сучасного мистецтва. писано принципи оформлення та ілюстрування книг з урахуванням вікових особливостей сприйняття дітей, а також важливість привабливості ілюстрацій для зацікавлення маленьких читачів. Розглянуто Based on the minimum angular size of the image, which is limited by the resolution of the human visual analyzer, a formula was derived for calculating the diagonal of the screen of the information display device. For two levels of unmanned aircraft systems – operational and tactical – the parameters of video monitors were obtained, which allow improving the image contrast, facilitating the operato
In this text, I analyze the role of gender-sex-sexuality in school policies in Sweden, Canada, and Germany. Policies concerning young people’s negotiations of gender-sex-sexuality in schools draw on specific understandings of societal belonging and cohesion. Invariably such policies are part of national discourses regarding values and norms of gender and relationships, informed by concepts of ethn
In the last few years, we have seen an explosion in the scale and scope of AI health, a trend only exacerbated by COVID-19. Due to the uptake of AI applications in health, the global health landscape has seen significant shifts. To help understand this development and how best to achieve the potential of AI health technologies, it is necessary to critically look at the global political economy thr
A survey of hunting, and attitudes towards hunting in Sweden from 17th to 20thh century
A controlled experiment was carried out by doing geophysical measurements on a purpose-built heap consisting of two different industrial waste fractions, called NF ( non-ferrous metal) and SLF (shredder light fraction), from the recycling plant of Stena Metall in Halmstad, Sweden. The purpose of the experiment was to see if it was possible to distinguish the different types of material using geoph
Although border politics have been given much theoretical attention in recent years, empirical studies of identity construction among border police officers are less common. In 2014, a two-year collaborative project partly funded by the EU was initiated in order to increase international collaboration between border police officers in the Baltic Sea area. The participating organizations were borde
Background: Prognostic factors in patients with localized primary cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) are well described. However, prognostic factors for recurrence are less documented. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify prognostic risk factors for first recurrence in patients with localized stages I-II CMM using population-based data. Methods: This study included 1437 CMM patients r
PalCom is a middleware toolkit for pervasive computing and internet-of-things. We discuss how PalCom supports exploration and live programming through three phases: exploring services, assembling them into applications, and exposing them as new services. We give an example of this workflow through the construction of a simple photo booth application.
