Figure-8 Tachycardia Confined to the Anterior Wall of the Left Atrium

Incisional atrial tachycardias have been described most frequently in patients with previous corrective surgery for congenital heart defects and mitral valve disease. Less information is available on atrial tachycardias appearing late after isolated aortic valve surgery. We report the case of a patient who developed a left figure-8 tachycardia after undergoing aortic valve replacement. During electrophysiologic study the entire cycle length of the tachycardia was mapped within a low voltage area confined to the left anterior atrial wall. However, during ablation a transmural lesion could not be attained. The mapping and ablation strategy along with the mechanism of the tachycardia are discussed

Managing Opperational Supplier Relationships

Background: The Company is in process of increasing the level of centralisation to make use of the economy of scale and get a stronger buying position. A common supplier relationship process on operational level is part of this process. Purpose: Purpose of the thesis is to review and improve the operational supplier relationship management process at The Company. The aim is to define and analyse the process and identify activities in need of improvement in order to achieve a structured and standardised supplier relationship management process for major appliances in Europe. Objectives: In order to fulfill the purpose of this thesis the following objectives need to be met: • Identify, define and map the current state of the operational supplier relationship process at The Company. • Define a structured model, based on the product characteristics, to achieve standardised operational activities in the supplier relationship. • Present recommendations aiming to improve the supplier relationship management process by changes in operational activities. Method: This thesis has been conducted using a systems approach. By combining theories from supply chain management and supplier relationship management with empirical studies from The Company operations a operational supplier relationship process was elaborated and validated with experienced personnel. Result: The thesis resulted in a supplier segmentation model and a process for operational work with Supplier Relationship Management

Yrsa Lindqvist og Susanne Österlund–Pötzsch (red.) Jordnära: Etnologiska reflektioner över ny nordisk mat

De internationella framgångarna för det så kallade nya nordiska köket väcker flera intressanta frågeställningar ur ett etnologiskt perspektiv. Hur kunde de tidigare så renodlat utåtblickande och modernitetsvurmande restaurangerna i de nordiska länderna plötsligt börja blicka tillbaka till de nordiska rötterna? Vad händer när traditioner medvetet används för att gestalta ett innovativt kök? Hur ser det nya nordiska köket ut i hemmen, långt bort från de Michelin­stjärneprydda restaurangerna? Och hur skall etnologer förhålla sig till intresset för och användandet av de kunskaper kring råvaror, maträtter, konserveringsmetoder, nödmat och annat som tidigare var ett fåtal etnologers och arkivariers territorium, men nu används som rekvisita i bloggar, restauranger och glassiga matmagasin
