   Författare :Mirja Mindemark; Anders Larsson; Lars-Olof Hansson; Per Simonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; continuing medical education; cost control; cost savings; physician practice patterns; diagnostic tests; clinical chemistry; primary health care; health care costs; laboratory management; test utilization; trends; cost-effectiveness; inflammatory bowel disease; irritable bowel syndrome; calprotectin; cost avoidance; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Biomedical Laboratory Science; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Laboratory analyses, essential in screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease, are indispensable in health care, but appropriate utilization is intricate. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the use of laboratory tests in Sweden with the objective to evaluate and optimize test utilization. LÄS MER

3. 2. On the utilization of Nonlinear MPC for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Path Planning

   Författare :Björn Lindqvist; George Nikolakopoulos; Dimos Dimarogonas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; Obstacle Avoidance; Collision Avoidance; Nonlinear MPC; Model Predictive Control; Multi-agent Systems; Dynamic Obstacles; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Sammanfattning : This compilation thesis presents an overarching framework on the utilization of nonlinear model predictive control(NMPC) for various applications in the context of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning and collision avoidance. Fast and novel optimization algorithms allow for NMPC formulations with high runtime requirement, as those posed by controlling UAVs, to also have sufficiently large prediction horizons as to in an efficient manner integrate collision avoidance in the form of set-exclusion constraints that constrain the available position-space of the robot.

4. 3. Forest-Fuel Systems : Comparative Analyses in a Life Cycle Perspective

   Författare :Lisa Näslund Eriksson; Leif Gustavsson; Antti Asikainen; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; forest fuels; recovery systems; transportation; cost; primary energy use; CO2 emission; forest-fuel potential; life cycle perspective; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Forest fuels can be recovered, stored and handled in several ways and these different ways have different implications for CO2 emissions. In this thesis, comparative analyses were made on different forest-fuel systems. The analyses focused on the recovery and transport systems. LÄS MER

5. 4. On Aligning Returns Management with the E-commerce Strategy to Increase Effectiveness

   Författare :Klas Hjort; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Returns management; supply chain management; alignment; case study; experimental research; gatekeeping; avoidance; reverse logistics; strategy; e-commerce; Logistik; Handel och IT; Bussiness and IT;

   Sammanfattning : The returns management (RM) process has traditionally been seen as a value recovery process, which has resulted in an efficiency focus in the returns flow. This thesis present, the effects on a fashion e-commerce organisation, which is underprioritising or neglecting RM in general and consumer returns specifically. LÄS MER

7. 5. Tax Avoidance, Dividend Signaling and Shareholder Taxation in an Open Economy

   Författare :Richard Löfqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Tax avoidance; Dividends; Asymmetric information; Personal Taxes; Capital Taxes; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi; nationalekonomi; Economics;

   Sammanfattning : Essay 1: The first essay contains an approach to calculate the avoidance from the income tax and the consumption tax using National Accountings data. Using Swedish data from 1994, the empirical findings indicate avoidance from both these taxes. Cross-border shopping appears to be small, 656 million SEK or 0. LÄS MER
