2. 1. Lean in the Public Sector : Possibilities and Limitations

   Author : Erik Drotz; Bozena Poksinska; Ingela Bäckström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The demands on efficiency and quality in the public sector have increased over the past few years, which have raised the need for strategies on how the public sector can be improved (Denhardt and Denhardt, 2000). Consequently, the concept of Lean production, or just Lean, have become increasingly spread, especially in health care, but also in government agencies, police, military and social services.

4. 2. Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions : Possibilities and limitations

   Author : Martin Bäckström; Tom Mjörndal; Rune Dahlqvist; Folke Sjökvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; adverse drug reactions; spontaneous reporting; metamizole; general practitioners; hospital physicians; under-reporting; economical inducement; nurses.; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning; Clinical Pharmacology; klinisk farmakologi;

   Abstract : Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) constitute a major problem in society and in drug therapy. They are a common cause of short-term hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization and death. Spontaneous reporting of ADRs remains one the most effective methods for detecting new and serious drug reactions. READ MORE

5. 3. Strong Partial Clones and the Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems : Limitations and Applications

   Author : Victor Lagerkvist; Peter Jonsson; Christer Bäckström; Nadia Creignou; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In this thesis we study the worst-case time complexity of the constraint satisfaction problem parameterized by a constraint language (CSP(S)), which is the problem of determining whether a conjunctive formula over S has a model. To study the complexity of CSP(S) we borrow methods from universal algebra. READ MORE

6. 4. Ultrasonic Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Dynamics : Feasibility and Limitations

   Author : Frida Lindberg; Lars-Åke Brodin; Christer Grönlund; Tomas Jansson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ultrasound; skeletal muscle; intramuscular; dynamics; Tissue Doppler Imaging; Speckle Tracking; strain; quantification;

   Abstract : Pain and disorders of the human skeletal muscles are one of the most common reasons for medical consultations in the western countries today and there is a great need to improve both the understanding and treatment of several different muscular conditions.Techniques describing the muscle function in vivo are often limited by either their invasiveness or lack of spatial resolution.

7. 5. Quantitative Tracer Based MRI Perfusion : Potentials and Limitations

   Author : Arvid Morell; Atle Bjørnerud; Håkan Ahlström; Linda Knutsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; Perfusion; Contrast agent; Relaxivity; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Abstract : Tracer based MRI perfusion measurements is a clinically useful tool to assess regional distributions of tissue blood flow and volume. The method may be based on any of the three relaxation mechanisms T1, T1 and T2*, the latter denoted DSC-MRI being the most common. READ MORE
