  2. 1. Interpretation of diagnostic information given patient characteristics

    Author : Martin Gellerstedt; Hans Åhlfeldt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; reference values; diagnostic theory; diagnostic tests; partitioning; prevalence function; reference values; diagnostic theory; diagnostic tests; partitioning; prevalence function;

    Abstract :  The aim with this thesis was to describe, exemplify and develop theory for reference values and diagnostic tests, especially focusing on the variability between individuals. To facilitate interpretation of medical information it is common to establish some kind of limit. There are several different rationales for the choice of such a limit. READ MORE

  4. 2. A model of contextual factors and inter-organizational integration : A Ground Theory study of two supply chains

    Author : Hana Hulthén; Dag Näslund; Helena Forslund; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inter-organizational integration; contingency theory; grounded theory; contextual factors; Logistics; Logistik; Logistics; Logistik; supply chain integration; inter-organizational integration; structural contingency theory; grounded theory; contextual factors; fit;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the effect of organizational context on supply chain integration. One result is a context- based model that can provide support for practitioners regarding what level of integration to establish with suppliers and customers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Efficient symbolic state exploration of timed systems : Theory and implementation

    Author : Johan Bengtsson; Wang Yi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Systems; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : Timing aspects are important for the correctness of safety-critical systems. It is crucial that these aspects are carefully analysed in designing such systems. UPPAAL is a tool designed to automate the analysis process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling short and long term consequences of changes in diagnostic activity and treatment

    Author : Marcus Westerberg; Rolf Larsson; Hans Garmo; Pär Stattin; Keith Humphreys; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematics prostate cancer statistics diagnostic activity; Statistics; Statistik; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : Since the late 90’s the diagnostic activity for prostate cancer has increased in Sweden, primarily due to increased use of PSA testing, and this has led to a large increase in diagnoses. Simultaneously, there have been changes in treatment strategies, and more effective treatments have been introduced. READ MORE

  7. 5. Statistical modelling in chemistry - applications to nuclear magnetic resonance and polymerase chain reaction
