All patients with palliative and end of life care needs should be guaranteed equal and safe treatment and care, regardless of their disease or site of care. The inclusion of quality indicators in national guidelines and other guiding documents supports quality assurance and improvement in provision of care. The aim of this paper was to review existing quality indicators in national Swedish policy

Iraq, for the first time in its long history, is facing a dire water crisis that depends on the decrease in the quantities and degradation in the qualities of the water that enters its borders via Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These two rivers are supplying more than 98% of Iraq’s water demands for various purposes. Water pollution, desertification, drought, and deterioration in water quality are t

Today’s information society puts an increased demand on companies to have implemented a structured IP management system to protect and control their knowledge. This report describes the development of a quality tool that serves the purpose of identifying improvement areas in IP Management Systems at middle sized product development companies. The quality tool should represent a systematic approac

The construction of Passive Houses is challenging. On one hand, there is a strong pressure to reduce the investment cost and on the other hand optimal energy efficiency should be reached. Hence that it is indispensable for architects, engineers, and constructors to avoid any causes throughout the whole project, that would lead to performance gaps and costs overruns. The purpose of this degree proj

In camera production the image quality is of utter importance. Several tests during the production ensure this high quality. In this thesis the possibility of creating a final test, that classifies the image quality with the help of machine learning, specifically convolutional neural networks, was investigated. The data used was made up of synthetic, simulated images with commonly observed quality

In this thesis, a method for evaluating the accuracy of mathematical neuron models is developed, with the objective to both improve the quality and the speed of parameter optimization. To evaluate the method, we used a conductance based model of the cuneate nucleus. The model behavior was evaluated against neurons recorded in vivo. A big challenge when modeling neurons is the timing of the action

This report aims to compare the plane parameters given by the PlaneRCNN network with those created by using a Structure from Motion (SfM) solution on the same data. Several datasets are used, and the results from PlaneRCNN are evaluated by using the camera matrices from the SfM solution and applying these along with scaling and coordinate transformations. We use and explain RANSAC, neural networks

Eumusc.net (http://www.eumusc.net) is a European project supported by the EU and European League Against Rheumatism to improve musculoskeletal care in Europe.

The success of artificial breeding program depends largely on the reproductive performance of males. Male performance can vary with season and age impacting on quality and quantity of semen collected for artificial insemination purposes and therefore fertility of inseminated females. We examined variation in semen output and male libido of seven male ostriches (aged 2-5 years) over a period of 24

The aim of the study was to visualize design regulations of furniture by means of interactive technology based on earlier studies and practical examples. The usage of the visualized regulations was evaluated on two occasions: at the start when the first set of regulations was presented, and after six years of usage of all regulations. The visualized regulations were the result of a design process

Magnetresonans, förkortat MR, är ett fysikaliskt fenomen som tillämpas inom medicinsk diagnostik för bildtagning. Med hjälp av mycket starka magnetfält kan bilder erhållas, exempelvis på hjärnan, utan att joniserande strålning används. Förutom bilder kan MR-bildtagning även användas för att avbilda perfusion (kapillärblodflöde) och vattendiffusion i hjärnan. Ytterligare ett användningsområde är av

High diagnostic efficiency as well as the optimization of patient and staff doses in positron emission tomography (PET) can be achieved by implementing quality assurance program. This study was focused on the requirements and basic aspects of quality assurance (QA) in PET combined with computed tomography (CT), that include equipment quality control (QC). QA systems include methods of image QC, ex

This paper assesses water quality that is used for vegetable irrigation in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. A mixed-method of research design was employed in this study to collect and analyze the data based on survey instruments. The paper found that Escherichia coli (E. coli) that is usually used as an indicator of water contamination and heavy metals exist in all taken water samples. The mean concentra

Nonlinear pulse post-compression represents an efficient method for ultrashort, high-quality laser pulse production. The temporal pulse quality is, however, limited by amplitude and phase modulations intrinsic to post-compression. We here characterize in frequency and time domain with high dynamic range individual post-compressed pulses within laser bursts comprising 100-kHz-rate pulse trains. We

Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkemedelsrelaterade problem hos äldre - Interventioner för att förbättra läkemedelsbehandlingen Läkare inom primärvården står för en stor del av den totala läkemedelsförskrivningen i Sverige och är en viktig målgrupp för läkemedelsindustrins information. Det har i flera uppmärksammade studier från Socialstyrelsen uppmärksammats att läkemedelsbehandlingen för patientIntroduction: Elderly people, in particular those residing in nursing homes, often use many drugs. In general elderly patients are at greater risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRP), as they have multiple diseases, are using many drugs and have changed physiological status. Objectives: To describe the frequency of potential drug-related problems in the elderly and to evaluate different k
