  2. 1. Home care communication : moving beyond the surface

    Author : Jessica Höglander; Inger K. Holmström; Jakob Håkansson Eklund; Annelie J. Sundler; Bjöörn Fossum; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : communication; home care services; nursing staff; older persons; person-centred care; RIAS; VR-CoDES; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : Communication is an essential part of care and human interaction. While communication within care entails both task-focused and socio-emotional elements, nurses are sometimes perceived as too task-focused. When in need of care, older persons want to be perceived and treated as individuals – to feel involved. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effective cooperative scheduling of task-parallel applications on multiprogrammed parallel architectures

    Author : Georgios Varisteas; Mats Brorsson; Avi Mendelson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multicore; parallel; scheduler; workload; runtime; task; adaptive; resource management; load balancing; work-stealing; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Emerging architecture designs include tens of processing cores on a single chip die; it is believed that the number of cores will reach the hundreds in not so many years from now. However, most common parallel workloads cannot fully utilize such systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multilingual Life in Dementia Care : Crossing Linguistic Boundaries and Cognitive Gap: Navigating Mutual Understanding

    Author : Maziar Yazdanpanah; Charlotta Plejert; Gunilla Jansson; Lars-Christer Hydén; Eleonor Antelius; Catrin Norrby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Dementia; Multilingualism; Communication; Demens; Flerspråkighet; Kommunikation;

    Abstract : This dissertation presents empirical research in the field of multilingual communication in residential homes of people living with dementia.  Prior research has emphasised the crucial function of a common language and culture between care workers and residents in such settings.

  6. 4. Communication and Positioning Uncertainties in Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems

    Author : Erik M Steinmetz; RISE; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cooperative positioning; resource allocation; cooperative intelligent transportation systems; packet reliability; vehicular communication;

    Abstract : The current road transport system has problems with both safety and efficiency. Future intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are envisioned to alleviate these problems. In particular, cooperative ITS, where vehicles are connected to each other and the cloud, will allow vehicles to collaborate and share both sensor and control information. READ MORE

  7. 5. Improving Performance and Quality-of-Service through the Task-Parallel Model​ : Optimizations and Future Directions for OpenMP

    Author : Artur Podobas; Mats Brorsson; Georgi Gaydadjiev; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Task Parallel; OpenMP; Scheduling; OmpSs; multicore; manycore; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : With the failure of Dennard's scaling, which stated that shrinking transistors will be more power-efficient, computer hardware has today become very divergent. Initially the change only concerned the number of processor on a chip (multicores), but has today further escalated into complex heterogeneous system with non-intuitive properties -- properties that can improve performance and power consumption but also strain the programmer expected to develop on them.
