- Lidar is a powerful technique normally associated with atmospheric monitoring. However, lidar techniques, also of the laser-induced fluorescence and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy varieties, provide many new possibilities in unconventional fields including cultural heritage and ecological applications.

Where and how do you buy medicines? A social and cultural study of attitudes towards buying medicines online and abroad among Swedish public
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We start our presentation with a brief overview of the literature written about SF medical products in the social and cultural sciences. In September 2015, we broadly reviewed literature about the phenomenon of SF medical products, and identified research gaps regarding social, cultural and ethical aspects. Studies, presented below, are two pilot studies aimed to fill some of the gaps. In May 2018 we completed a new literature search focusing specifically on the social sciences and cultural sciences.In order to understand where and how the Swedish public access their medicines, especially prescribed medicines, an online survey was conducted. Among a collection of 155 answers, the data shows that, although a majority of the respondents feel hesitated and negative towards shopping prescribed medicines online, a tendency is demonstrated that people would seek out medical assistance from other sources in foreign countries if their need could not be satisfied by the current national healthcare service. This might expose these vulnerable patients to the danger of falsified medicines. Our findings point out the need to map out medical consumers’ shopping patterns and call for more qualitative studies to understand this mechanism and to provide the public with necessary information regarding shopping medicines in a safe environment. Thereafter a survey with 200 Swedish doctors was carried out. The main purpose was to gather information on how much knowledge and experiences these frontline medical professionals had regarding SF medical products. The results show that 1 in 4 respondents have not heard about this phenomenon and there is a lack of awareness among physicians on the use of the reporting system. Related education is needed and desired.

THE MISALIGNMENT CYCLE: IS THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN ALIGNED?
- 2009
-
Ingår i: [Host publication title missing]. ; , s. 547-565
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for describing and analyzing misalignments in supply chain management, which relate to changes in supply chain structures, processes, and management components. Design/methodology/approach Based on the systems approach, a single-case study with embedded design including several embedded cases from the same supply chain was deployed. This was done according to the abductive research approach, which is favourable when extending existing and developing new theory. In order to describe the case study, data was collected through observations, interviews and workshops, and later analyzed through pattern matching. The case studied was the Swedish cash supply chain, which was appropriate since it has gone through several changes in its supply chain structure and management. Findings and original/value of paper A framework to describe and analyze misalignments in the supply chain was developed. The framework proposed consists of two steps: 1. Identify changes in the supply chain, and 2. Identify misalignments. For every step respectively, a specific and more detailed framework was developed in order to facilitate the identification processes. With the framework a researcher or practitioner gets a structured approach to map the management of a supply chain so that its current misalignments can be identified.

Passive unmanned sky spectroscopy for remote bird classification
- 2011

Ingår i: Remote Sensing For Agriculture, Ecosystems, And Hydrology XIII. - : SPIE. - 0277-786X .- 1996-756X. ; 8174

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a method based on passive spectroscopy with aim to remotely study flying birds. A compact spectrometer is continuously recording spectra of a small section of the sky, waiting for birds to obscure part of the field-of-view when they pass the field in flight. In such situations the total light intensity received through the telescope, looking straight up, will change very rapidly as compared to the otherwise slowly varying sky light. On passage of a bird, both the total intensity and the spectral shape of the captured light changes notably. A camera aimed in the same direction as the telescope, although with a wider field-of-view, is triggered by the sudden intensity changes in the spectrometer to record additional information, which may be used for studies of migration and orientation. Example results from a trial are presented and discussed. The study is meant to explore the information that could be gathered and extracted with the help of a spectrometer connected to a telescope. Information regarding the color, size and height of flying birds is discussed. Specifically, an application for passive distance determination utilizing the atmospheric oxygen A-band absorption at around 760 nm is discussed.

Organ trafficking. An ethnographic study on the selling of organs in Moldova and Israel.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organ trafficking is an illegal means of meeting the shortage of transplant organs on a global market. Reasons that this activity flourishes include medical needs, poverty and criminality. This article is focused on those who sell their organs. The ambition is to see how their actions are the result of a socio-cultural context as well as how ideas and actions impact the trafficking phenomenon. The discussion revolves around the multifaceted role of the organ sellers – victims as well as actors searching for economic survival strategies
