Multistage Benders' Decomposition applied to Multiperiod, Multicommodity Production, Distribution and Inventory System

It has become more and more important for some industries to have an efficient program for their long range activities. Such a program usually means a production, distribution, and inventory plan of multicommodity over a multiperiod range. The network flow model is a standard way to represent the problem. Recent advances in the computational aspect of the generalized network (Glover et al. 1978:24, 1209-1220) gives us an indication of broader areas of application. However, the real world imposes complicated constraints upon us which can not be represented in the network models, not even in generalized network models. In a previous paper (Tone 1977a:20, 77-93), the author tried a decomposition of network type constraints and nonnetwork type constraints (called pattern constraints) by using Benders' partitioning procedure (Benders 1962:4, 238-252). The computational experiments show that the decomposition technique works well. In this paper, the author develops a method to handle the multiperiod problem, where the problems in each period are coupled with the succeeding one by the existence of the inventory activities. Our system is doubly decomposable; by the existence of the pattern constraints and by inventory activities. The algorithm consists of two parts, one for solving the network flow problem in each period and the other for solving the pattern and coupling constraints which may be called a master problem. Finite convergence is guaranteed

Kinerja Pemerintah Kota dalam Mengatasi Persampahan di Makassar

This study aims to determine the factors that influence in dealing with waste in the city of Makassar, this study used phenomenological approach and classified as qualitative research. The results showed that the waste problem is still on the agenda of homework that has not been able to overcome the maximum to date, this gives an indication that there is no synergy between the leadership of stakeholders, employees and the community in order to jointly tackle the waste problem, so the government needs to involve the community as a subject development in addressing the waste problem in the city of Makassar

Abstract The phrase “add them up and divide by two (Tashite Ni De Waru, in Japanese) ” is an established maxim in Japanese society, and has its historical roots in Japanese culture. This means adopting a middle course between two competing proposals in order to avoid a conflict. In the spirit of Max Weber (1949), this paper establishes a systematically correct scientific proof of “add them up and divide by two ” (Add-Div), by using conceptions of the two OR methodologies, data envelopment analysis (DEA) and cooperative game theory. More specifically, in the DEA game scheme of Nakabayashi and Tone (2006), we study an allocation problem with two criteria, in which game-theoretic solutions such as the Shapley value and the nucleolus prove coincident with the result of the Add-Div method. While today some brilliant minds may propose that people should abandon the Add-Div mentality, this paper enables one to re-consider the concept of Add-Div not only as a matter of mentality but also as an application of OR methods. We also illustrate the use of the Add-Div concept where the “assurance region ” (AR) method of DEA is incorporated

Oxidized Dietary Oil, High in Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, Induces Antioxidant Responses in a Human Intestinal HT29 Cell Line

When oxidized, dietary oils generate products which have the potential to cause adverse effects on human health. The objective of the study was to investigate whether lipid oxidation products in an oxidized dietary oil can be taken up in intestinal cells, induce antioxidant stress responses and potentially be harmful. The in vitro cell model HT29 was exposed to camelina oil with different extents of oxidation, or only 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE) or 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). The cellular content of HHE increased with an increasing extent of oxidation of the camelina oil added to the cell’s growth media, whereas HNE did not show a similar trend. Deuterated HHE was taken up by the HT29 cells, with 140 μM HHE metabolized within 0.5–1 h. The low oxidation degree of the camelina oil increased the gene expression of antioxidant markers (GPX, ATF6, XBP1). The increase in the gene expression of SOD at medium oxidation levels of the oil might indicate different regulation mechanisms. Highly oxidized camelina oil and a low concentration of HHE, over time, induced SOD and catalase enzyme activity in HT29 cells. Oxidized camelina oil contains multiple oxidation products which can be responsible for the intracellular responses observed in HT29 cells, while HHE and HNE in combination with other oxidation products induce antioxidant defence responses.publishedVersio

Bacheloroppgave sykepleie, 2013Innen år 2040 kan antall pasienter med en demenssykdom være doblet. Derfor vil det også stilles høyere krav om rekruttering og kompetanse hos oss som sykepleiere (Sosial- og helsedirektoratet, 2007). Disse tallene viser at vi som sykepleiere bør ha større kompetanse innenfor demensomsorgen i årene fremover. Fagartikkelen Communication bridges for patients with dementia skriver også om viktigheten med god opplæring og ferdigheter hos sykepleiere som jobber med personer med demens (Elkins, 2011). Pasienter med demens som bor i sykehjem er sårbare mennesker. Disse personene kan utvikle angst, forvirring, vrangforestillinger og depresjoner, som igjen kan føre til en manglende følelse av kontroll over egen situasjon. Dette kan føles truende for pasientene, og kan bidra til å skape verbal og fysisk motstand i situasjoner hvor pleiepersonell skal yte omsorg (Hem, Gjerberg, Pedersen & Førde, 2010). Vårt tema omhandler bruk av tvang i forhold til medisinering hos personer med demens. Studien Bruk av tvang i sykehjem viser at 45% av pasientene som bor i skjermede enheter for demente og 37% av pasientene som bor i somatiske avdelinger ble utsatt for minst et tvangstiltak hver uke. Et av de vanligste tvangstiltakene var skjult medisinering (Kirkevold, 2012). Hvordan vi som sykepleiere kan forebygge bruk av tvang hos personer med demens kan være et stort og omfattende tema. Men det vil likevel være svært viktig å reflektere over dette i rollen som sykepleiere, da vi vil møte situasjoner hvor vi kan måtte yte tvang i alle helseinstitusjoner. Studien Is Covert Medication in Norwegian Nursing Homes Still a Problem viser at problematikken med skjult medisinering fortsatt er et problem blant pasienter i norske sykehjem (Kirkevold & Engedal, 2009). Vår interesse for faget har kommet gjennom de ulike praksisperiodene gjennom studiet, hvor vi flere ganger har opplevd bruk av tillitskapende tiltak og tvang. Vi har også jobb på et sykehjem begge to, hvor vi har utøvd tillitskapende tiltak med både positive og negative resultater
