    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; eHealth; telehealthcare; Actor-network theory; space; information and communication technology; Governmentality;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the proliferation of healthcare services using information and communication technology to overcome spatial and temporal obstacles. These services are given such names as telemedicine and telecare, which are sometimes grouped together as telehealthcare under the umbrella term eHealth. READ MORE

  4. 2. Understanding quality improvement in care: The case of public care procurement and process mining

    Author : Sara Dahlin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cancer care; methodology; process mining; Quality improvement; elderly care; care pathways; public care procurement; context;

    Abstract : Healthcare is facing challenges of increased cost and complexity originating from factors such as new technology and diversified treatments, increased life expectancy, an ageing population, and multi-comorbidity, making the need for Quality Improvement (QI) in care highly relevant. This is, however, easier said than done, considering that healthcare is complex, dynamic, ad-hoc, and multidisciplinary. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling and Simulation of Dial-a-Ride and Integrated Public Transport Services

    Author : Carl Henrik Häll; Jan T. Lundgren; Stefan Voss; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dial-a-ride; simulation; optimization; modeling; paratransit; public transport; Other technology; Övriga teknikvetenskaper;

    Abstract : Traditional public transport systems are most often insufficient to provide a good transport service to everyone. Especially, it is not always possible for elderly and disabled persons to use the regular system consisting of timetabled services operating along fixed routes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cellulose-derived conductive nanofibrous materials for energy storage and tissue engineering applications

    Author : Volodymyr Kuzmenko; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neural cells; supercapacitors; hydrogel inks; carbonization; cellulose; carbon composites; tissue engineering; energy storage; carbon nanofibers; 3D printing; electrospinning;

    Abstract : There is no doubt that nanofibrous materials are among the most opportune materials used in advanced applications nowadays. To supply anticipated high demand for these materials sustainable resources such as plant derived polymers should be explored. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Framework for Evaluation and Design of an Integrated Public Transport System

    Author : Carl Henrik Häll; Jan Lundgren; Peter Värbrand; Karin Brundell-Freij; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Demand responsive; public transport; public transportation; planning; optimization; simulation; Anropsstyrd trafik; kollektivtrafik; kollektivtrafikplanering; optimering; simulering; Other technology; Övriga teknikvetenskaper;

    Abstract : Operators of public transport always try to make their service as attractive as possible, to as many persons as possible and in a so cost effective way as possible. One way to make the service more attractive, especially to elderly and disabled, is to offer door-to-door transportation. READ MORE
