  1. 1. Mätning och motstånd : Sifferstyrning i socialtjänstens vardag

    Författare :Teres Hjärpe; Professioner och organisering; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Governance; sociology of quantification; metric cultures; social services; social workers; governing by numbers; resistance by numbers;

    Sammanfattning : In the name of transparency and accountability, numbers and statistics have gained importance as indicators of quality, effectiveness and efficiency of welfare services such as social work. It has been argued that the requirements to formalise how and on what grounds decisions are made have undermined the professional autonomy and discretion of social workers. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Numerical simulation of well stirred biochemical reaction networks governed by the master equation

    Författare :Andreas Hellander; Per Lötstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Numerical simulation of stochastic biochemical reaction networks has received much attention in the growing field of computational systems biology. Systems are frequently modeled as a continuous-time discrete space Markov chain, and the governing equation for the probability density of the system is the (chemical) master equation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Novel Immersed-Boundary Method for Multiple Moving and Interacting Bodies

    Författare :Andreas Mark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid-structure interaction; DNS; immersed-boundary method;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development, implementation and validation of an implicit, second order accurate, finite-volume and instationary immersed-boundary method for simulating the detailed flow around multiple arbitrary moving and interacting bodies. The potential for flows including moving bodies or boundaries, such as multiphase flows still has to be fully realized. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Exploring Themes and Challenges in Developing Sustainable Supply Chains - A Complexity Theory Perspective

    Författare :Maisam Abbasi; Förpackningslogistik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Supply Chain; Logistic; Sustainable Development; Sustainability; Complexity;

    Sammanfattning : To develop sustainable supply chains in a way that their negative environmental and social effects are minimized, shortand long-term targets should be set. The transformation of supply chains towards these targets calls for the development of innovative strategies and the need to continuously identify, classify, and tackle the challenges that can hinder the execution of such strategies.

  7. 5. The Profit of Prevention. A study of Social Investments in a Swedish Region

    Författare :Cristian Lagström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social investments; calculative practices; accounting; hybridity;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of the use and implications of accounting technologies in the governing of public services. It explores social investments, a proliferating public sector management technology based broadly on the idea to govern long-term public goals “by numbers”. LÄS MER
