16. Total Cost Indicators - Operational Performance Indicators for managing environmental and economic efficiency
Sammanfattning : In this Licentiate Dissertation presents a new model for selecting environmental performance indicators in order to improve environmental management. The suggested Total Cost Indicators support a support a preventive approach to environmental management, where environmental issues are addressed before they arise - and before they become costs.

17. High-Efficiency SiC Power Conversion : Base Drivers for Bipolar Junction Transistors and Performance Impacts on Series-Resonant Converters
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to bring an understanding to the silicon carbide (SiC) bipolar junction transistor (BJT). SiC power devices are superior to the silicon IGBT in several ways. They are for instance, able to operate with higher efficiency, at higher frequencies, and at higher junction temperatures. LÄS MER
18. Utilities and quality of life in cardiovascular disease : drivers, economic effects and clinical outcomes
Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure represent important contributors to cardiovascular disease burden, with high incidence, prevalence and mortality rates. The overall objective of this thesis is to enhance the knowledge on what drives preferences for different health st ates (utilities) in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure, and how health-related quality of life and utilities in turn influence clinical and economic outcomes.

19. Human Vehicle Interaction Drivers’ Body and Visual Behaviour and Tools and Process for Analysis
Sammanfattning : Vehicle design is characterized by a high number of compromises. The special role of human factors in the process is to ensure that the compromises do not occur at the expense of the driver and passengers. LÄS MER
20. The burden of stroke in Sweden : studies on costs and quality of life based on Riks-Stroke, the Swedish stroke register
Sammanfattning : The costs for stroke management and reduced health related quality of life (QoL) can extend throughout life as mental and physical disabilities are common. The aim of this thesis was to quantify this stroke-related burden with data from Riks-Stroke (RS), the Swedish stroke register. LÄS MER
