  3. 2. Prediction of Medical Device Usability Problems and Use Errors - An Improved Analytical Methodical Approach

    Författare :Lars-Ola Bligård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Methodological Research; Usability; Human Error; Medical Equipment;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of medical care is to make people healthier, and this is pursued with great success today. Unfortunately, medical care also entails injuries to certain patients. Some of these injuries are caused by use errors. Research has shown that lack of usability of medical equipment is a strongly contributing cause of use errors. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On Specifying and Estimating Economic Growth as a Spatial Process : Convergence, Inequality, and Migration

    Författare :Martin E. Gustafsson; Roger Bivand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social and economic geography; Economic geography; economic growth; regional convergence; migration; spatial statistics; spatially correlated errors; geographical dependence; Kulturgeografi; Human geography; Kulturgeografi; kulturgeografi; Social and Economic Geography;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis includes three self-contained papers. The first paper considers the effect of geographically dependent observations on cross-sectional growth convergence and proposes a way of decomposing the level of technology taking into account geographical variation in growth rates.
