2. 1. Cost Optimization of Aircraft Structures

   Author : Markus Kaufmann; Dan Zenkert; Malin Åkermo; Per Wennhage; Erik Lund; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aircraft structures; optimization; cost estimation; manufacturing cost; direct operating cost; multiobjective optimization; multidisciplinary optimization; composites; airframe design; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. Due to the higher process complexity and the high material cost, however, the low weight often comes with a significant increase in production cost. The application of cost-effective design strategies is one mean to meet this challenge. READ MORE

4. 2. Improving care for patients with non-cardiac chest pain : Description of psychological distress and costs, and evaluation of an Internet-delivered intervention

   Author : Ghassan Mourad; Tiny Jaarsma; Anna Strömberg; Siv Söderberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac anxiety; cognitive behavioural therapy; depressive symptoms; direct cost; fear of body sensations; healthcare utilization; hospital care; indirect cost; Internet-delivered; ischemic heart disease; non-cardiac chest pain; primary care; randomized controlled study; societal cost;

   Abstract : Introduction: More than half of all patients seeking care for chest pain do not have a cardiac cause for this pain. Despite recurrent episodes of chest pain, many patients are discharged without a clear explanation of the cause for their pain. READ MORE

5. 3. Cost/Weight Optimization of Aircraft Structures

   Author : Markus Kaufmann; Dan Zenkert; Frédéric Lani; KTH; []
   Keywords : Cost Weight Optimization; Weight Penalty; Direct Operating Cost; Composite Structures; Non-destructive testing; Finite element analysis FEA ; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. The increased production cost, however, requires the application of cost-effective design strategies. Hence, a comparative value is required which is used for the evaluation of a design solution in terms of cost and weight. READ MORE

6. 4. Economic aspects of infertility treatment

   Author : Maria Granberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : ART; health economy; financing; willingness to pay; cost; cost effectiveness; infertility treatment; IVF; ICSI; donor insemination; polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS ; tubal surgery;

   Abstract : Background: With the expansion of IVF into general clinical practise during the 1980's and 1990's, the interest to identify and compare costs of different infertility treatments increased and, in many countries there is an ongoing debate about whether or not in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and other assisted reproductive techniques (ART) should be covered by national health insurance schemes. Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine aspects of cost in relation to effectiveness and benefits of infertility treatment, with particular emphasis on in-vitro fertilisation.

7. 5. Centralized Ovarian Cancer Care - Complications, Costs and Survival

   Author : Charlotte Palmqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovarian cancer; Survival; Centralization; Surgery; Cytoreduction; Residual disease; Postoperative complications; Cost of illness; Direct costs; Indirect cost; Epidemiology;

   Abstract : Background: Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, and its mortality is high. Surgical treatment of advanced ovarian cancer strives toward complex primary debulking surgery (PDS), aiming for complete cytoreduction (R0) and improved survival. READ MORE
