2. 1. Quality Assurance for Dependable Embedded Systems

   Author : Andreas Johnsen; Kristina Lundqvist; Paul Pettersson; Kaj Hänninen; Paola Inverardi; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Architectural engineering of embedded computer systems comprehensively affects both the development processes and the abilities of the systems. Rigorous and holistic verification of architectural engineering is consequently essential in the development of safety-critical and mission-critical embedded systems, such as computer systems within aviation, automotive, and railway transportation, where even minor architectural defects may cause substantial cost and devastating harm.

   Abstract : Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in Sweden, with more than 5000 new cases annually. Median age at time of diagnosis is approximately 75 years. Owing to the ageing population, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. READ MORE

5. 3. Pain rehabilitation in Sweden : a quality registry study

   Author : Vanja Nyberg; Mehmed Novo; Jan Ekholm; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : chronic pain; pain-related disability; pain rehabilitation; registry study; sick leave benefits; audit;

   Abstract : Background: Chronic pain, defined as non-malignant pain emanating from the musculoskeletal system, may limit everyday activities, social functioning and the quality of social and working life for individuals, creating disability as well as incurring high economic and public costs for society. Controlled studies show that cognitive-behavioural interdisciplinary rehabilitation has a positive effect on functioning in patients who have been disabled by chronic non-malignant pain conditions.

6. 4. Quality assurance for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in radiotherapy

   Author : Mary Adjeiwaah; Tufve Nyholm; Rob HN Tijssen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Magnetic resonance imaging; Radiotherapy; geometric distortions; patient-induced susceptibilities MR-only; radiofysik; radiation physics;

   Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) utilizes the magnetic properties of tissues to generate image-forming signals. MRI has exquisite soft-tissue contrast and since tumors are mainly soft-tissues, it offers improved delineation of the target volume and nearby organs at risk. READ MORE

7. 5. Methods, design and components for a computer-based patient record to promote quality care in general practice

   Author : Rolf Linnarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : computerized medical records systems; medical audit; health care quality assurance; primary health care; general practice; decision support systems; reminder systems; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Ever since the introduction of the first computer-based patient records (CPR), there have been expectations concerning the potential of CPR not only to support patient care but also to improve its quality. In this thesis methods and models for CPR in general practice are investigated, particularly with respect to possibilities and limitations concerning quality assurance and decision support. READ MORE
