  3. 2. Sustainable Public Procurement as a Driver of Change : The Case of Surgical Instruments

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Dennis van den akker; Riad Samir Wakim; [2019]
    Keywords : Sustainable Public Procurement; Sustainability Practices; Buyer-Supplier Relationship; Surgical Instruments; Institutional Theory; Power Dependence Theory;

    Abstract : Although Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) is often seen as a powerful tool to drive sustainability across its supply chain, there is little available research in terms of how SPP actually influences its suppliers’ sustainability practices and what challenges are being faced during the process. In this study, we shed light on both issues by exploring SPP using Institutional and Power Dependence Theory in the context of the surgical instrument industry in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simulation of Biological Tissue using Mass-Spring-Damper Models

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emil Eriksson; [2013]
    Keywords : mass-spring-damper; model; modelling; biological tissue; 3D; medical imaging; real-time; parallel computation; GPU; OpenCL; Runge-Kutta; move; cut; simulation; medical visualization; surgical simulation; massa-fjäderdämpare; modell; modellera; biologisk vävnad; 3D; medicinsk skanningsutrustning; 3D-skanning; realtid; parallell beräkning; GPU; OpenCL; Runge-Kutta; flytta; skär; medicinsk bildvetenskap; kirurgisk simulering;

    Abstract : The goal of this project was to evaluate the viability of a mass-spring-damper based model for modeling of biological tissue. A method for automatically generating such a model from data taken from 3D medical imaging equipment including both the generation of point masses and an algorithm for generating the spring-damper links between these points is presented.
