Offers of the week. Seasonal items. Holidays. Buying patterns and weekly cycles. Illness and courses. There are many factors to take into account when Coop plans the distribution of goods to its stores. ProMark helps to balance capacity and load – and enhances the efficiency when picking the pieces of goods.
Coop is the biggest retail chain in Denmark operating the chains Kvickly, SuperBrugsen, Dagli'Brugsen and coop.dk, as well as its subsidiaries Irma A/S and Fakta A/S. In total, there are more than 1,200 stores all over the country.
Coop has 7 distribution centres and warehouses, all of which use ProMark. The distribution centres are located in Aalborg, Hasselager, Vejen, Odense, Brøndby, Rønne and Albertslund and have the overall responsibility for managing supplies to the stores.
Ensuring the right goods to the right stores at the preferred time requires a comprehensive overview and planning! If too few warehouse workers are called in, they will not be able to pick and pack items to meet the planned delivery routes. And the stores will not get their goods on time. And vice versa – payroll expenses are affected if too many employees are called in.
Due to a modest development in the retail trade, more foreign discount chains and the spread of meal subscription boxes, the competition on the market has become fiercer over the past few years. As a result, continued streamlining is necessary in all parts of the organisation. Hence, it is even more important for Coop to find the perfect balance between capacity and load – over the day, week, month and year. An exercise that requires a painstaking planning cycle in practice.
Consequently, Coop established an optimisation project in 2016 in order to identify a solution to this particular challenge. The project was assisted by an external consultancy company that observed a series of internal processes and came up with recommendations for optimisation.
For many years, staff roster planning has been managed from forecasts based on historical data for the past few years and personal experience right up to the day before delivery. This has made planning dependent on individuals, non-transparent – and occasionally imprecise.
Moreover, planning has been carried out in a number of proprietary, inconsistent systems using manual workflows. Not only has this increased the risk of data input errors; it has also made it difficult to obtain valid data and hence acquire a fact-based decision-making basis for the long-term planning.
Coop has been using ProMark for many years to record the employees' time, attendance and absence as well as for staff roster planning.
A number of workshops demonstrated that – among other things – it would be valuable for Coop to complement the existing ProMark installation with the management information module ProBI. ProBI is a business intelligence solution for analysis of causal relationships based on the data contained in ProMark. ProBI can be provided as data cubes that can be integrated with the company's IT environment. This will allow ProMark data to be used in combination with other data, which will increase transparency.
The employees will continue to register their attendance and absence (holidays, courses, illness, etc.) in ProMark. Data is exported to a data warehouse every day, providing an overview of the capacity. A similar export from SattStore, the Warehouse Management system, is made forming the underlying data for the load (stores' orders plus campaigns and seasonal goods). Both planning data and historical data is stored on the server.
The actual load can be calculated when the following day's orders have been received and stacked in delivery routes. The load can be divided into time intervals (e.g. hours), thereby allowing the need for resources to be planned.
Data is extracted and processed via a Power BI solution that visualises the data in a number of dashboards related to the KPIs set up by Coop.
This provides an overview of available resources, and based on the continuous receipts for completed picking of goods, Coop can constantly monitor the progress as wells as the remaining work for the day – and adjust levels if necessary.
This clear and valuable insight provides the foundation for faster and much better decisions. Moreover, it is possible to drill down into the data directly in the tool, which can be used by multiple users simultaneously.
The ProBI solution has been in use at the Albertslund distribution centre since May 2017. And the benefits are noticeable.
"The biggest difference on a daily basis is absolutely clear. We are spending our time making the right decisions, not on obtaining data," says Lars Rowland Brandi.
As a result of the benefits achieved by Coop in Albertslund, the company is planning to roll out the solution to its other six distribution centres in Denmark.
In addition, Coop has a vison to granulate planning still further, giving them control on an hourly level.
"If we can create an even closer link between needs and resources, hour by hour, we will be able to streamline our business even further," concludes Lars Rowland Brandi.
Time is short in the hours of daylight when staff in Greenland businesses are really busy. All their customers want their goods before the onset of winter and the sea freezes over. This demands optimum exploitation of machines and manpower.

The Gynecologic Oncology Translational Research Program brings together a multidisciplinary group of dedicated translational research scientists, gynecologic oncologists, clinical fellows, pathologists, informatics scientists and biostatisticians focused on understanding the molecular defects associated with gynecologic cancer initiation, progression and chemoresistance and developing novel treatments and diagnostic strategies.
Through this program we have developed an extensive gynecologic tumor biobank that includes snap-frozen tumor tissue, patient serum, novel primary cancer cell lines, and patient-derived mouse xenografts. Additionally, a computer-integrated gynecologic cancer patient database has been established in order to ensure translation of basic discoveries into improved therapies and management of the disease.
Some research highlights from this program include the discovery of a novel microRNA, miR-181a, that correlates with poor ovarian cancer patient outcome and can potentially be used as a prognostic or diagnostic biomarker given its exclusive expression in serum of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer. In addition, members of our program are actively developing a widely available integrative ovarian cancer resource, which was developed through a comprehensive web-based patient survey. This resource will serve both women affected by ovarian cancer so that they can obtain relevant information about their disease, and health care providers so that they can understand the concerns and issues that are most important to the patient. Ultimately, this program provides the infrastructure for innovative gynecologic cancer research and unites a multidisciplinary group of individuals dedicated to improve detection, treatment and awareness of these cancers.

Transport Sector Update: shipping, ports and logistics - European Commission announces measures to give clean fuels a push
Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP
European Union February 8 2013
Draft legislation was presented on 24 January by the European Commission which included the building of alternative fuel stations (including electricity, natural gas and hydrogen) across Europe with common design and technical standards. This would be a significant boost for clean fuels for cars, trucks and ships across Europe. The purpose behind the initiative is to help push the development of clean fuels and lower the cost by establishing a Europe-wide market for them.
It has been felt that the use of clean fuel has been held back because of the higher cost of the vehicles, a low level of consumer acceptance and the lack of availability of recharging and refuelling stations. However, it has been something of a "vicious circle" according to the commission. As far as recharging and refuelling stations are concerned, the stations haven't been built because of a lack of clean vehicles on the roads. Vehicles are not sold at lower prices because there is simply not enough demand and consumers are reluctant to purchase the vehicles because they are seen as expensive and because there are not enough refuelling and recharging stations.
As far as electric vehicles are concerned, the present situation for recharging varies greatly across Europe. The draft legislation will establish a common standard plug (the "Type 2" plug developed in Germany) and require each EU nation to have a minimum number of recharging points. The part of the proposal on hydrogen for cars is limited to the 14 EU nations which currently have filling stations for hydrogen. Such stations would need to have common standards by 2015 and would have to be in place at certain intervals by 2020. Insofar as compressed natural gas for cars is concerned, the proposal requires that fuelling stations be available across the EU at least every 150 kilometres by 2020. On liquefied natural gas for trucks, the draft legislation requires that fuelling stations be installed every 400 kilometres on roads that are part of the trans-european core network. There are currently only 38 fuelling stations.

"Unafraid of change": the development of Edith Wharton's authorship and magazines (2021)
This dissertation, which studies Wharton's authorship through the lens of her periodical publications and subsequent book revisions, contrary to earlier evaluations of her career, portrays her as a modern writer attuned to the changing literary marketplace and able to cater to diverse audiences. It argues that studying Wharton's authorship—her "trajectory" (Bourdieu, Field 189)—through her engagement with various periodicals (from the higher-brow Scribner's Magazine to the middlebrow Pictorial Review and Delineator) and within the context of the American literary field at the turn of the twentieth century offers a more nuanced view of her career as a "series of positions" in the literary arena characterized by the progressive adaptation of her authorship to the marketplace. Examining Wharton's trajectory through her involvement with periodicals shows her as a writer who in her Scribner's stage (1904-1913), was, to an extent, still affiliated with genteel values about art reflective of Scribner's ideology. Then, in the 1920s and early 1930s, during her affiliation with Pictorial Review and Delineator, she became a more commercially successful and critically acclaimed professional who understood how to navigate the changing field. During the later years of the Depression when Wharton's sales decreased and her work was often rejected by mass magazines, she became a writer out of sync with the demands of the field. In addition to examining Wharton's changing positions, this dissertation also studies the development of her "disposition" (Bourdieu, "Habitus" 43) regarding artistic compromise—selling one's art for money. I present a detailed discussion of the magazine versions of her artist stories published in Scribner's, "The Descent of Man" (1904), "The Potboiler" (1908), and "The Verdict" (1908); her Pictorial Review ghost/detective stories, "The Temperate Zone" (1924), "Miss Mary Pask" (1925), and "The Young Gentlemen" (1926); and the novels that she serialized in Delineator, namely, Hudson River Bracketed (1928-1930) and The Gods Arrive (1932). Wharton employed what I call the authorial strategy of plasticity in her postwar work, which allowed her to simultaneously cater to both the middlebrow readers of women's magazines and her higher-brow book audience—using textual revisions, unreliable narration/perspectivism, paratext, and genre hybridity/duality/renovation.
Emily Dickinson, Material Rhetoric, and the Ethos of Nineteenth-Century American Women's Poetry (2015)
"Emily Dickinson, Material Rhetoric, and the Ethos of Nineteenth-Century American Women's Poetry" examines the ethos of women's poetry as it was negotiated through the material rhetoric of mid-nineteenth-century American periodicals, and Emily Dickinson's strategic alignment with that ethos to paradoxically distance herself from the literary market. As I argue, Dickinson negotiated an enduring marginality that would forestall her entry into public modes of poetic address while she lived, in order to preserve a poetic address that could foster interpersonal affectivity. Establishing the methodological framework for my study, the introduction demonstrates how material rhetoric contributes to the ethos of poetry by defining ethos as emerging from a poetry's delivery and reception in material contexts of address. Chapter 1 maps the ethos of women's poetry as it develops in the U.S. between 1830 and 1864, and especially the crucial ground that Civil War newspapers provided for the negotiation of a gendered authorial ethos for women's poetry. Chapter 2 demonstrates how Dickinson's poetry was implicated in such negotiations, as her poems were published in her daily newspaper, the Springfield Republican, under literary editor Fidelia Hayward Cooke during the early 1860s. Arguing that this implication transformed her poetic address and prompted decisive action on her part to limit further publication, I then investigate the ethos Dickinson herself negotiated with poetry she addressed to correspondents. Chapter 3 reads Dickinson's negotiation of an amateur ethos with her correspondent Thomas Wentworth Higginson as a deliberate move to indefinitely defer her entry into the literary market. Chapter 4 maps Dickinson's practice of sending poetry as, in, or with letters to correspondents, to demonstrate her investment in mobilizing interpersonal affectivity through personal, specific—not public, unspecific—poetic address. This dissertation makes substantial contribution to the field in three ways: it redresses the critical omission of materiality in the study of the rhetoric of nineteenth century American women's poetry; it extends feminist historiography of women's rhetoric to include the materiality of poetic address; and it extends the study of Dickinson in context, by situating her among her peers, deeply and inextricably in the material context of mid-nineteenth-century periodical culture.
Canadian Migrations: Reading Canada in Nineteenth-Century American Literature (2011)
This dissertation contributes to the fields of Canadian literature, American literature, and transnational and hemispheric studies by examining Canada's place in American Renaissance discussions about imperialism, citizenship, and racial and national identity. In the nineteenth-century US, Canada became symbolically important because of its perceived common origins with the US as well as its increasing resistance to forms of American imperialism. Canadian Migrations examines the significance of the Canada-US relationship by analysing literary representations of two population movements across the Canada-US border: the 1755 deportation of French Catholic Acadians from Canada to the American colonies and the antebellum flight of African Americans north to Canada. American authors gravitated towards these narratives of displacement to and from Canada in order to discuss the meaning of American citizenship and the treatment of racial minorities within US borders. I argue that both of these Canada-US movements prompted critical inquiries in US culture about forms of American imperialism. In Part One, I examine authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, who portrayed the violent expulsion of Acadians by British troops justified the creation of the United States as a necessary defense against imperial rule. Yet the Acadian expulsion also prompted these authors to question the contemporary US government's own displacement of racial and linguistic minorities through slavery and westward expansion. In Part Two, I examine the northward movement of fugitive slaves across Lake Erie to Canada. By crossing Lake Erie, Black migrants—and the iconic texts written about them—challenged the conceptual categories that sustained US slavery and imperialism. Authors such as Stowe, Josiah Henson, Lewis Clarke, and William Wells Brown described scenes of nautical transit and transformation across the Lake Erie Passage to contest US slavery and to develop notions of Black citizenship. By recovering this conversation about the significance of Canada-US cross-border movement, I position nineteenth-century Canada within the movement of people and ideas across the Black Atlantic world. Together, my chapters demonstrate how the imagined community of the United States emerged through a series of complex political, cultural, and literary negotiations with Canada.
Poetry After 9/11: Constructing the Memory of Crisis (2011)
My dissertation examines the cultural functions of poetry in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. After 9/11, poems could be found in many and unexpected places: they were posted on the internet in the tens of thousands; published in newspapers, magazines, and single-author books; read aloud on television and on radio and collected in at least ten anthologies. Seeking to explain this surge in poetry's popularity, many critics have discussed the genre's ability to provide comfort. I suggest that poems after 9/11 be seen also as examples of memory scholar Marita Sturken's "technologies of memory": politically-charged objects through which memories are shared, produced, and given meaning. I argue that poetry can be held accountable for its production of the memory of 9/11 and that it can be investigated for the multiple functions it serves in the aftermath of crisis. Using the resources of memory studies, and of cultural studies of poetry, my dissertation makes a case for poetry's political, memorial, witness, and public-discourse functions. My chapters explore (1) the popularity of W.H. Auden's "September 1, 1939" after 9/11 and the contemporary politics of the poem's circulation; (2) the memorial function of poetry as that function is negotiated in a text installation in the newly-built 7 World Trade Centre; (3) the function of poetry as witness and the way the mediation of 9/11 invites a reconsideration of the witness position itself; and (4) the public-discourse function of poetry found, for example, at poetry.com, where 55, 031 people have uploaded their 9/11 poems. By studying poetry's national presence after 9/11, I challenge the idea, dominant especially since the mid-twentieth century, that poetry is a marginal genre in literature and culture. I also challenge the mid-twentieth century notion that poetry's value can best be found in its timelessness. Poetry had many timely functions after 9/11 and can be read as a set of discursive practices integrated in our everyday lives.

Winnifred Eaton Reeve's His Royal Nibs: a critical edition (2021)
This thesis is a critical edition of His Royal Nibs, the final published novel by early Chinese Canadian author Winnifred Eaton Reeve, better known by her Japanese pseudonym, "Onoto Watanna." Born in Montreal to a Chinese mother and a British father, and the younger sister to celebrated Chinese Canadian author Edith Eaton (Sui Sin Far), Winnifred Eaton is best remembered as the prolific author of the hundreds of highly successful and immensely popular Japanese-themed romances she wrote as "Onoto Watanna" in the early twentieth century while living in the United States. Published in 1925 and signed "Winifred Reeve," His Royal Nibs bears little resemblance to Japanese romances that captivated early American audiences and that, in their troubling appropriation and stereotyped depiction of Japanese identity, continue to challenge scholars today. Set on a cattle ranch near Calgary, Alberta, His Royal Nibs is the culmination of Eaton's campaigns to become a "Canadian author" and insert herself into the bourgeoning networks of Canadian literature. Yet, while scholars acknowledge her life in Alberta, few have taken her Canadian works seriously and even fewer have paid attention to the significance of Eaton as a prairie writer.This edition seeks to correct this imbalance by situating Eaton's final novel within her "Alberta Years." The first edition of His Royal Nibs since its original publication in 1925, and the first standalone, annotated edition of Eaton's novels, this thesis seeks to re-introduce critics to Eaton and demonstrate the significance of His Royal Nibs as both a text that offers a complicated meditation on identity and one that enters into contemporary debates surrounding the colonial histories of Alberta.

. Ну конкретно предложение на русском языке, заключенное в блок.
А вот что я получаю в результате и не понимаю, в чем косяк моей регулярки:
**
[('', '          Minors received mandatory legal representation, including court-appointed lawyers for those whose families could not afford representation.'), ('\n', ''), ('', '          Несовершеннолетним в обязательном порядке обеспечивается участие в судебном процессе их законных представителей, в том числе назначаемых судом адвокатов для тех, чьи семьи не могут позволить себе такого представительства.')]

Т.е каким-то образом он в моем регулярном выражении распознал:

Когда не должен был!
Объясните, в чем косяк моей регулярки и почему она находит не только то что мне нужно, но и то, что мне ненужно. Как исправить ?

A: В тех случаях, когда мы хотим распарсить регулярным выражением что-то между конкретными символами, то будет проще ограничить множество символов по правой границе. Например, чтобы найти в URL все протоколы перед ://, следует искать совпадения по такому множеству: [^:]+?. Здесь всё аналогично:
    regex = re.compile(r'

Sectional doors are one of the most popular types of garage doors that are relatively new on the market today. Sectional doors are formed from a series of panels that slide up and over your head when opened. They are typically constructed out of either steel, aluminium, copper or polythene.
Sectional doors usually occupy the same amount of internal garage space as a standard single panel door, but they have a number of distinct advantages over less innovative models. In this article, we share several of the benefits of a sectional door style.
Sectional doors do not require space outside of the garage; they open and close vertically so that the area around the door is easily accessible and usable by anyone who so wishes. This also means that a car can park much closer to the garage door than a traditional single panel garage door option, perfect for those with shorter driveways.
When correctly fitted, a sectional door also offers extra space inside the garage, unlike most other kinds of garage doors. This is especially useful for those with a small garage in the first place, or need a lot of room to park a vehicle.
With your sectional door, each panel will be connected to the door track directly. This makes your door much more reliable and less prone to breaking than alternatives. Sectional doors, particularly those made from galvanised steel or polythene, are exceptionally strong and come with insulating foam to make them last as long as possible.
Sectional garage doors are also exceptionally quiet and safe compared to alternatives, particularly the more typical up-and-over or single panel doors on the market. A high-quality sectional door can retract and unfurl smoothly and quietly because each panel is connected to the track individually.
Our sectional doors also come with specially designed anti-entrapment features to prevent fingers from becoming trapped between the panels and meet all existing UK and EU regulations, so you can be confident you are getting a quality product.
The garage door is typically where most heat escapes from a property. Consequently, a sectional garage door is an excellent choice, especially if you want to keep a warm garage temperature.
Sectional doors typically have either 20mm or 40-45mm double skinned panel sections with insulated foam underneath to provide both weather protection and insulation for your garage. So long as the door is installed behind the structural opening (if it is installed in front of the opening, cold air will enter through the sides), a sectional garage door acts as an effective thermal break and supports the insulation provided by the garage walls themselves.
If you have a specific garage need – perhaps you have a very low clearing or an arched entranceway – it can be tough to find a garage door that suits your need. However, thanks to their design, it is much easier to install an automatic sectional garage door on your property. As no door needs to swing out overhead or to the side if you choose a sectional style, you do not need much room to have a sectional door installed. And as each panel is on the track themselves, sectional doors can be more easily installed and maintained in your home. Make sure to follow our tips on maintaining your garage door, and your sectional garage door will serve you well for years to come.

On behalf of the Dierenpark Emmen, the building firm VolkerWessels is currently building a park that covers an area of 22 hectares: the new Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen. An important part of the park is the 'Big Glasshouse', a large tropical glasshouse with a surface area of around 17,000 m2. VolkerWessels asked Brakel Atmos to design and install the building's air supply. The solution: controlled natural ventilation.
In the tropical glasshouse, visitors can view the animals and their colourful environments via various routes. The tropical environment also encompasses a restaurant and a theatre.
Brakel provided the air supply for the 'Big Glasshouse' in the form of 143 natural ventilation façade vents. Louvered vents of the type Brakel® Eura-G have been used, in which 6-walled polycarbonate flaps are integrated. The flaps have the same specifications as the plastic façade into which the vents are installed.
The louvered vents are equipped with plastic mesh grilles on the inside. This prevents the smaller animals escaping from the glasshouse via the vents.
The total aerodynamic flow-passage of the façade vents, including mesh grilles, is 239 m². The louvres are operated via a 230V spindle motor that is proportionally driven on the basis of an intelligent GNV/ANV operating system. The operating system sets the open angle of the vents on the basis of the indoor and outdoor temperature, precipitation and wind (direction and speed).
The set ventilation capacity is the determining factor in order to ensure a pleasant indoor climate, without draughts, at all times.
The façade vents which supply the air, are also part of the RWA (smoke and heat removal) system and open upon a signal from the fire alarm installation (BMI) in the event of a fire. The required capacity is also part of the total fire safety plan, as determined by DGMR.
