  2. 21. Insights from combining Action Research and System Dynamics when facilitating change and improvement processes in healthcare

    Author : Paul Holmström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; healthcare; improvement; change; implementation; action research; system dynamics; simulation;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND Healthcare is a complex system with multi-professional staff and multiple patient care pathways. Time pressure and minimal margins for error makes it challenging to implement new policies or procedures, no matter how desirable. Changes in healthcare also requires the participation of the multi-professional staff. READ MORE

  4. 22. A distributed decision making process from a systems perspective: following 33 patients at an emergency department

    Author : Kajsa Nalin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Decision making; process; decision support; distributed cognition;

    Abstract : Decision making is at the core of our everyday lives, as well as of this thesis. Specifically, the focus of the thesis is the complex and dynamic decision making process taking place at an emergency department. READ MORE

  5. 23. In vitro and in vivo aspects of intrinsic radiosensitivity

    Author : Karl Brehwens; Andrzej Wojcik; Siamak Haghdoost; Wolfgang Dörr; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiation biology; changing dose rates; cytogenetics; hypothermia; X-rays; radiotherapy; osteoradionecrosis; biomarkers; oxidative stress; individual radiosensitivity; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Biosciences;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on how physical and biological factors influence the outcome of exposures to γ/X-rays. That the dose rate changes during real life exposure scenarios is well-known, but radiobiological data from exposures performed at increasing or decreasing dose rates is lacking. READ MORE

  6. 24. Game-based learning for virtual patients in Second Life®

    Author : Maria Toro-Troconis; Jan Gulliksen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Genus och teknik; Gender and Technology;

    Abstract : In the field of medicine, various representative simulations have been developed to support the decreasing number of learning opportunities with real patients; the use of virtual patients is among them. Virtual patients are real-life clinical scenarios used for the purpose of medical education. READ MORE

  7. 25. Spectroscopic techniques for photodynamic therapy dosimetry

    Author : Ann Johansson; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atomic and molecular physics; diffuse light spectroscopy; photodynamic therapy; biomedical optics; Atom- och molekylärfysik;

    Abstract : Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a cancer treatment modality relies on the simultaneous presence of three components; light, photosensitiser and oxygen. Once excited by the light, the photosensitiser can interact with oxygen, leading to the formation of toxic oxygen species. READ MORE
