11. Addressing the complexity of sustainability-driven structural design: Computational design, optimization, and decision making
Sammanfattning : Being one of the sectors with the largest environmental burden and high socio-economic impacts sets high requirements on the construction industry. At the same time, this provides the sector with great opportunities to contribute to the globally pursued sustainability transition. LÄS MER
12. The role of simulation technology for skills acquisition in image guided surgery
Sammanfattning : Technical proficiency is an essential ingredient in surgical competence, which has hitherto been poorly evaluated. The introduction of disruptive technology into the Operating Room (OR) with respect to operative procedures requires an equally disruptive paradigm shift in surgical training that matches the development in OR technology.

13. Nonlinear Quantile Regression for Longitudinal Data
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of the two papers in this thesis is to examine the properties of the weighted nonlinear quantile regression estimator for the analysis of longitudinal data. To this end, the question of which weights to be used, the bias of the estimator and the possibility to calculate confidence intervals has to be examined. LÄS MER
14. Dissemination of motivational interviewing : the role of workshop training and subsequent supervision in the development of competence in clinical practice
Sammanfattning : Aim: Training practitioners is often used as the primary implementation strategy to disseminate evidence based practices into clinical and community settings. The overall objective of this thesis was to evaluate various aspects of training practitioners as part of the dissemination and implementation of motivational interviewing (MI). LÄS MER
15. Methods for Network Optimization and Parallel Derivative-free Optimization
Sammanfattning : This thesis is divided into two parts that each is concerned with a specific problem.The problem under consideration in the first part is to find suitable graph representations, abstractions, cost measures and algorithms for calculating placements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such that they can keep one or several static targets under constant surveillance.
