2. 16. Health systems bottlenecks and evidence-based district health planning : Experiences from the district health system in Uganda

   Author : Dorcus Kiwanuka Henriksson; Stefan Swartling Peterson; Mio Fredriksson; Peter Waiswa; Anna-Karin Hurtig; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; District; health systems; decentralization; evidence; planning; bottleneck analysis; governance; decision space; health information systems; maternal and newborn care; child survival; Uganda; International Health; Internationell hälsa;

   Abstract : In low-income countries where maternal and child mortality remains high, there is limited use of context-specific evidence for decision making and prioritization of interventions in the planning process at the sub-national level, such as the district level. Knowledge on the utility of tools and interventions to promote use of district-specific evidence in the planning process is limited, yet it could contribute to the prioritization of high-impact interventions for women and children.

4. 17. On Brownfield Layout Planning

   Author : Daniel Nåfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; factory layout planning; Production systems; digitalisation; Industry 4.0; decision support; manufacturing systems;

   Abstract : As manufacturing companies strive to increase productivity and decrease waste, to stay competitive in an increasingly global and digitalised context, their production system must improve. Improvements to production systems can be achieved in many ways, including increased levels of automation, improved product and process flows and improved scheduling. READ MORE

5. 18. Efficient Bayesian Planning

   Author : Divya Grover; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; POMDP; Partially Observable MDP; Planning; Bayesian Reinforcement Learning;

   Abstract : Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a long-studied and yet very active field of research. The list of things differentiating humans from AI grows thinner but the dream of an artificial general intelligence remains elusive. READ MORE

6. 19. Fatigue of existing steel bridges : Reliability and risk analyses for decision-making

   Author : Ruoqi Wang; John Leander; Raid Karoumi; Boulent Imam; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue; steel bridges; decision-making; reliability analysis; risk analysis; spatial correlation; system modelling; inspection and maintenance; Utmattning; stålbroar; beslutsfattande; tillförlitlighet; riskanalys; rumslig korrelation; systemmodellering; inspektion och underhåll; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

   Abstract : Fatigue is one of the primary reasons that limit the service life of steel bridges. Many bridges in Sweden and other countries have progressively approached their anticipated service lives. Since funding and resources are limited, simultaneously replacement or maintenance of bridges is impractical. READ MORE

7. 20. Transport, Mobility, and Workplace Location : Models and Applications

   Author : Fatemeh Naqavi; Muriel Beser Hugosson; Nathalie Picard; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Abstract : Travel demand analysis is one of the core constituents of transportation studies. Therequired insight to maintain and develop a sustainable transportation system, in additionto learning from previous research globally and locally, is generated from studyingthe effects of previous policies, investigating future possibilities and potential outcomes,and describing the current situation.
