23rd Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy 2018 Book of abstracts
- 2018
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Initiated by Professors Olle Persson and Peter Ingwersen, bibliometric researchers in the Nordic countries have arranged annual Nordic workshops on bibliometrics since 1996. The general scope of the Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy is to present recent bibliometric research in the Nordic countries, to create better linkages between the bibliometric research groups and their PhD students, and to link bibliometric research with research policy.The workshop language is English and the workshop is open to participants from any nation. The 23rd Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy (NWB’2018) was organized by the Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at University of Borås, Sweden. It was held at University of Borås, on November 7-9th, 2018 with 100 participants.In total, we received 35 submissions. After reviewing the submissions, the program committee decided which papers were to be presented orally and which as poster presentations. 21 papers were accepted as oral presentations. These, as well as the titles of the two invited keynote talks and the abstracts of 9 posters, are presented as abstracts in these proceedings. The posters and oral presentation slides are also available for viewing and peer-feedback at figshare (with citable DOIs):https://doi.orgWe would like to thank all authors for their submissions, the session chairs and the keynote speakers, Fredrik Åström and Merle Jacob, for their contributions to the workshop and the student volunteers, for their diligent efforts during the workshop. Further, we would like to thank the sponsors for their generous financial support, without which the Nordic workshops could not be organised in their current form.The NWB’2017 website is at https://hb.se/nwb2018Follow on twitter as @nwb_2018 and #nwb2018

31 recommendations for increased profit - reducing waste
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Those companies and organizations that wish to ensure long-term profitability must successively decrease resource use in both product development and in product usage. Primarily, it is waste that must be reduced, i.e. the consumption of resources that do not add to customer value or to the organization. Waste is widespread in all operations. Even in well-functioning processes, more than half of the resource consumption can be classified as waste. One obstacle to waste elimination is that most waste is hidden. Thus, executives, middle management and specialists must prioritize efforts to uncover the waste in their operations.Building and construction activities consist of a complex system of decisions, components, organizations and processes that must be coordinated. There are therefore many explanations as to why waste arises, or does not. Based on a series of discussions with experienced builders, consultants, contractors and materials providers, five main groups of factors that characterize effective operations were found. In this report these factors are illustrated in the form of a “value pyramid”. A holistic view of long-term customer benefits is the apex of the pyramid. Structure, competence, leadership and culture act as the driving forces at each corner of the pyramid’s foundation. Should one of the corners gives way, then the pyramid risks toppling over.With the value pyramid as support, 31 recommendations for what should be done to reduce waste are presented. These are aimed at standardizing the product from an overall perspective (five recommendations), defining and standardizing processes (ten recommendations), developing the organization and its competence (seven recommendations), disciplining management (five recommendations), and driving continuous improvement work (four recommendations). Reducing uncertainties and increasing effective time utilization are the red threads, as the Swedes would say, that run through all the recommendations.Everyone who uses resources has a responsibility to reduce waste. By systematically monitoring one’s own use of time, one can gain insights that will help improve one’s work situation. However, the burden of initiating and driving improvements overall obviously lies with management. How this should be done depends on the nature and purpose of the activities as well as on the organization’s capabilities. It is to manage this progress and achieve profitability that managers are appointed. It is in the interest of all enterprises and organizations to develop the ability and an interest to detect and understand what work/task is value adding what is not. This ability will provide possibilities to develop new competitive advantages and new business concepts.

Designing and Assessing Learning in Venture Creation Programs - Winner of Best Practitioner Development Workshop Award
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Workshop Summary In Venture Creation Programs the venture acts as a ‘learning vessel’, enabling what students need to learn - and more - given a greater or lesser extent of guidance. But how do we ensure that the students are engaging in ‘doing what they need to do’ in order to ‘learn what they need to learn’? In this workshop, participants will benchmark and crowdsource to identify and develop teaching tool prototypes for venture creation programs. Each ‘teaching tool’ consist of a learning objective, a combination of learning activities and an assessment suggestion. The workshop consists of two steps: the first is to capture learning activities from the entire group; then we divide into smaller groups where we develop them further into teaching tools. The teaching tools can later be used by the participants in their home university in order to package integrated venture activities so that the activities become aligned to the learning objectives.

Dynamic higher order equations
- 2016

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The subject of this thesis is to derive and evaluate governing equations and correspondingboundary conditions for solid cylinders and rectangular plates, where the materialconstituting the cylinder or plate are governed by classical elasticity, micropolar elasticityor a functionally graded case of the previously mentioned models. This is achieved by asystematic power series expansion approach, by either adopting a generalized Hamilton'sprinciple or a direct approach.For the solid cylinders a power series expansion in the radial coordinate for the sought fields are adopted. Equations of motion together with consistent sets of end boundaryconditions are derived in a systematic fashion up to arbitrary order using a generalizedHamilton's principle. Governing equations are obtained for longitudinal, torsional, andexural modes. In the case of the rectangular plate, a power series expansion of thesought fields are adopted in the thickness coordinate. Governing equations of motion, forextensional and exural case, together with consistent sets of edge boundary conditionsare derived in a systematic fashion up to arbitrary order with use of the direct approach.Both the governing equations for the solid cylinder and the rectangular plate areasymptotically correct to all studied orders. Numerical examples are presented fordifferent sorts of problems, using exact theory, the present series expansion theories ofdifferent order, various classical theories and other newly developed approximate theories.These results cover dispersion curves, eigenfrequencies, various curves of cross sectionalquantities such as displacements, stresses and micro-rotations, as well as fixed frequencymotion due to prescribed end displacement or lateral distributed forces. The resultsillustrate that the present approach may render benchmark solutions provided higher ordertruncations are used, and act as engineering equations when using low order truncations.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The subject of this thesis is to derive and evaluate governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions for solid isotropic cylinders and isotropic micropolar rectangular plates. This is achieved by a systematic power series expansion approach, by either adopting a generalized Hamilton's principle or a direct approach.For the solid cylinders a power series expansion in the radial coordinate is adopted. Equations of motion together with consistent sets of end boundary conditions are derived in a systematic fashion up to arbitrary order using a generalized Hamilton's principle. Governing equations are obtained for longitudinal, torsional, and flexural modes. In the case of the isotropic micropolar plate a power series expansion of the displacements and micro-rotations are adopted in the thickness coordinate. Governing equations of motion, for extensional and flexural case, together with consistent sets of edge boundary conditions are derived in a systematic fashion up to arbitrary order with use of the direct approach.Both the governing equations for the solid cylinder and the micropolar plate are asymptotically correct to all studied orders. Numerical examples are presented for different sorts of problems, using exact theory, the present series expansion theories of different order, various classical theories and other newly developed approximate theories. These results cover dispersion curves, eigenfrequencies, various curves of cross sectional quantities such as displacements, stresses and micro-rotations, as well as fixed frequency motion due to prescribed end displacement or lateral distributed forces. The results illustrate that the present approach may render benchmark solutions provided higher order truncations are used, and act as engineering equations using low order truncation.
