  1. 21. Detection and Classification Multi-sensor Systems : Implementation of IoT and Systematic Design Approaches

    Författare :Damian Dziak; Wlodek Kulesza; Darius Andriukaitis; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Assessment; Behavior Recognition; Classification; Design Methodology; Detection; Indoor Localization; Internet of Things; Multi-Sensor System; Skills Assessment; Outdoor Localization; Wireless Sensor Network; Applied Signal Processing; Tillämpad signalbehandling;

    Sammanfattning : The detection and classification of features or properties, which characterize people, things or even events can be done in reliable way due to the development of new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), and also due to advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms. Interconnection of users with sensors and actuators have become everyday reality and IoT, an advanced notation of a Multi-sensor System, has become an integral part of systems for assessment of people’s habits and skills as well as the evaluation of quality of things or events' performances.

  2. 22. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments

    Författare :Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Amir Rashid; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; element flow analysis; industrial ecology; product systems; end-of-life; DPSIR; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; environmental management; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. LÄS MER

  3. 23. Approaches to ensure and improve quality at primary healthcare centres - a study of the effects of a structured patient-sorting system and a healthcare reform

    Författare :Andy Maun; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Primary healthcare; Quality improvement; Health services research; Healthcare reform; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Primary healthcare in Sweden meets increased demands from an aging population concerning quality and accessibility while dealing with a growing shortage of general practitioners and imperfect efficiency. Initiatives in the delivery and governance of primary care services attempt to improve quality and performance, but frequently do not attain the targeted results. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Capturing the Operational Improvement Potential of Production Systems

    Författare :Richard Hedman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Capacity; Productivity; Capacity utilization;

    Sammanfattning : The operational level is where a company’s manufacturing strategy becomes reality and where customer orders are fulfilled through transforming raw materials into finished goods. The research presented here examines the productivity and capacity of operational processes in manufacturing firms. LÄS MER

  5. 25. New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches in Adrenocortical Cancer

    Författare :Tanweera Shaheena Khan; Barbro Eriksson; Mats Bergström; Anna-Lena Hulting; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Adrenocortical cancer; Positron Emission Tomography; Metomidate; Combination chemotherapy; Streptozocin; op -DDD; OPEC; Disease-free Interval; Survival; Responses; Side effects; Receptor protein-tyrosine kinases; c-Kit; Phospho-c-Kit; PDGFRβ; Mutation; Imatinib; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare disease that is often difficult to diagnose, and therefore often presents at an advanced stage. Various cytotoxic treatments have been tried with little success. Evaluation of new diagnostic methods and improvement of medical therapies are therefore crucial. LÄS MER
