4. 2. Aeronautical decision-making in context: Influence of affect and experience on procedure violations

   Author : Johan Lindvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aviation; Decision-making; Violations; Non-technical skills; Experience; Affect; Overconfidence;

   Abstract : Although pilots are well trained and there are rules, models and standard operating procedures to use in decision-making situations, aviation accidents do occur. One reason why accidents may occur is because pilots sometimes decide to violate, or deviate from standard operating procedures. READ MORE

6. 4. Surgical quality control of minimally invasive procedures, fast-track surgery and implant technology in gynaecological surgery in Sweden

   Author : Emil Karl Nüssler; Mats Löfgren; Pär Nordin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prolapse; mesh surgery; fast track surgery; laparoskopic hysterectomi; obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Internationally as well as in Sweden, efforts for improvement in gynaecological surgery in recent decades have mainly focused on three new treatment concepts:(1) Use of minimally invasive procedures: since there is an interdependency between the extent of surgical trauma and the risk for adverse outcome, increased use of supposedly atraumatic endoscopic procedures has revolutionized several aspects of surgical care(2) A multimodal approach to eliminate harmful procedures in the peri-operative process based on evidence-based principles(3) Introduction of implants to support damaged tissue with synthetic mesh in incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse patients.Research question 1: Is introduction of a minimally invasive operation enough per se or is the measured improvement mediated by elimination of harmful procedures in the perioperative process?Findings: Our study (Paper I) indicates that by applying a multimodal intervention programme for the pre- and postoperative care of patients undergoing supravaginal hysterectomy, the surgical procedure per se is of less importance than generally considered.

7. 5. Bayesian inference for detection problems in biology

   Author : Ronny Hedell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PCR; Bayesian inference; Forensic DNA analysis; Syndromic surveillance; Bacillus anthracis; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Allele dropout; Bacillus anthracis;

   Abstract : This thesis is about different kinds of detection problems in biology: detection of DNA sequences in crime scene samples, detection of harmful bacteria in feed and food stuff and detection of epidemical diseases in animal populations. In each case, biological data is produced or collected in order to determine which DNA sequences, bacteria types or diseases are present, if any. READ MORE
