En förstudie för utvärdering av en automatisk urinmätare för barn / A pre-study evaluation of an automatic urinometer for childrenMunkhammar, Tobias, Peterson, Amanda January 2015 (has links)
Urinmätning inom intensivvården är ett viktigt hjälpmedel för att få larm om dysfunktionalitet hos njurarna. Patienters urinproduktion är något som till största delen fortfarande mäts manuellt genom att samla upp urin från urinkatetern ner i en mätbehållare. I rapporten utvärderas en automatisk urinmätare (Sippi®) på en barnintensiv- och barnintermediärvårdsavdelning. Målen med förstudien var att undersöka vilka förbättringar som krävs för att produkten ska vara lämplig att använda på barn samt att ta reda på om Sippi® kan underlätta den fysiska arbetsmiljön och patientkomforten, utan att försämra mätnoggrannheten jämfört med den mätaren som används idag. Detta undersöktes i två delar, intervjuer samt genom kontrollmätningar. Mätnoggrannhetsstudien utfördes genom att den volym som erhölls från respektive mätare kontrollmättes i en mätcylinder. Detta gjordes på 6 patienter där totalt 52 mätningar utfördes med den manuella urinmätaren och 48 med den automatiska. Enligt slutsatsen bör slangen till den automatiska urinmätaren vara kortare än 149 cm men längre än 110 cm. Slangens flöde behöver förbättras och utrustas med en klämma som kan användas för att fästa slangen vid sängen. Angående mätnoggrannheten kunde ingen slutsats dras då signifikanta mätdata saknas. / Measuring urine output within the intensive care unit is a helpful tool finding renal dysfunctions. Urine output is a parameter that is in most cases still measured manually, by collecting the urine into a measuring chamber. In this study we have evaluated an automatic device (Sippi®) that measures urine output both at the pediatric intensive care unit and the pediatric intermediate care unit. The aim of the study was to find improvements making Sippi® appropriate for children’s care and to see whether this type of device can ease the work load for the nurses and improve the comfort for patients without having lower accuracy than the manual urinometer used today. The study was divided into two parts, control measurements and interviews. The control measurements compared the value of the urine output given by one of the two urinometers separately with a cylinder measurement. 52 measurements were made with the manual device and 48 with the automatic, altogether collected from six patients. No conclusion could be drawn about the accuracy of the urinometers since the number of data were too few. However from interviews and observations a few enhancements were derived for the automatic urinometer. The hose’s length needs to be shorter than 149 cm but longer than 110 cm, have a better flow and a clamp that allows the hose to be attached to the bed.

"Táhneme káru kapitalismu dál a dál": Etnografie tovární výroby / "We drag the cart of capitalism on and on": Ethnography of factory productionVirtová, Tereza January 2014 (has links)
This thesis presents the main results of a five-month ethnographic research project in a global factory in the Czech Republic. It is focused on three topics. Due to a number of ethical dilemmas that accompanied the research, the first part examines ethics in anthropology, both the instruments of the institutionalization of professional ethics and "ethics in practice". As a strategy for dealing with ethical dilemmas the thesis aims at a reflexive approach, as proposed by Guillemin and Gillam (2004) not only to ensure rigor in research methodology, but also as a form of "morally adequate research work". The second research focus is the production line. The line makes sense - that is, produces stuff - only when people and machines interconnect. Symmetrical analysis juxtaposes humans and machines and explores the dynamics of agency as it shifts the borders between people and machines and the characteristics that each takes from the other. The last part of the thesis presents the factory as an actor in the labor market. Through the analysis of economic and organizational factors as well as workers" stories and interpretations and regional authorities" accounts, the final part tries to explain the perception of the factory as a stable and relatively solid employer. Keywords: global factory, ethics,...

Modular Reality / Modular RealityKučavík, Patrik Unknown Date (has links)
This project tries to ask by the means of speculation questions about contemporary architectectural conception, housing politics and personal ownership. How does the increasing amount of automatization and "smart" solutions change the state of society? And how could architecture reflect this change? One of the main advantages of modular design is the ability to change and replace modules. The reason of replacement often caused by the desire of customization of products according to one's needs. We can therfore state that one of the key properties of modular design is the ability "to change". Architecture is by it's means static. Compared to other aspects of our environment, it has the least amount of ability to change. Project Automata researches the possibilities of dynamic architecture and asks mainly those questions: How could an architecture reflecting the dynamic change in society look? Is it possible to live in such architecture? And what is the purpose of architect in the whole process?

Effektivisering av tillverkningsprocess med mjukvara för nesting / Effectivizing a manufacturing process with nesting softwareLundgren Akbarzadeh, André January 2023 (has links)
Rapporten presenterar ett examensarbete vid Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, utfört på ett företag i skylttillverkningsindustrin. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om produktionen på det uppdragsgivande företaget kan effektiviseras genom att ersätta ett manuellt arbetsmoment med en automatiserad lösning i form av en mjukvara. Det undersöks även om, och i sådant fall hur stora förbättringar som kan göras i processen sett till ekonomisk, ekologisk och social hållbarhet. Genom att undersöka marknadens utbud av mjukvaror för nesting och jämföra mjukvarornas egenskaper mot definierade krav kunde en handfull mjukvaror konstateras vara relevanta. Testprogramvaror begärdes för dessa, och i de fall de erhölls så testades mjukvarorna på rådata från projekt som företaget tidigare tillverkat i syfte att jämföra resultaten. Skillnaderna i resultat beräknades och jämfördes med resultaten av det manuella arbetssättet. Det konstaterades att användning av den bäst presterande mjukvaran kan spara företaget i snitt 481 kronor per projekt i minskad material- och tidsåtgång. Vidare beräknades att företaget hade kunnat spara drygt 28 kg material på de fem projekten som tillverkades i aluminium, för vilka bara återvinningen hade kostat ca 2,25 kg koldioxidekvivalenter per projekt. Nyproduktionen av denna aluminium uppskattas motsvara mellan 16,6 – 36,2 kg koldioxidekvivalenter per projekt. / This paper presents a bachelors thesis at the Royal Institute of Technology, performed at a company in the sign manufacturing industry. The aim of the thesis is to investigate if the production at the company can be made more effective by replacing a part of the process that requires manual work with an automated solution in the form of a software. It is also investigated whether changes in the process can result in improvements in economical, ecological and social sustainability, and in that case the greatness of the improvements. By conducting market research of nesting software and comparing the properties of the software to pre-determined requirements, a handful of different software were considered potentially applicable. Software for testing were requested for these, and tests were conducted with those that were obtained. The tests were conducted on raw data from previously manufactured projects at the company in order to compare the results. The differences in results were calculated and compared with those of the manual process. It was concluded that the top performing software could render the company an average of 481 kronor saved per project in terms of time saved and material usage. Furthermore, calculations showed that the company could have saved over 28 kg worth of material for the five projects where aluminium was used. For these projects, the recycling of the aluminium would be equivalent to 2,25 kg carbon dioxide equivalents per kg, per project. The production of new aluminium for these projects would equate to an estimated 16,6 – 36,2 kg carbon dioxide equivalents per kg, per project.

Conception et implantation d'un système de gestion de réseaux distribué basé WEB avec JavaGhlamallah, Adel 01 1900 (has links)
Mémoire numérisé par la Direction des bibliothèques de l'Université de Montréal. / C'est dans la nouvelle tendance de gestion de réseaux basée sur une approche distribuée, que nous proposons dans ce mémoire une architecture de développement d'application de gestion de réseaux permettant la délégation dynamique de certaines tâches de gestion vers des agents intermédiaires et utilisant les technologies du WEB. Le modèle proposé est basé sur le concept de l'agent délégué et de l'agent intermédiaire utilisant une Mffi script. Cette dernière permet à un agent de contrôler l'exécution des fonctions de gestion déléguées par le manager. Dans l'architecture proposée, des agents intermédiaires sont introduits dans le réseau pour exécuter des fonctions de gestion déléguées par le gestionnaire. Ces fonctions vont réaliser des opérations de mesure et de contrôle sur des données de gestion collectées à partir des agents SNMP se trouvant dans le réseau. Ainsi, ces agents intermédiaires permettent d'automatiser les tâches de gestion habituellement affectées au manager d'une part, et de diminuer la charge globale du réseau en réduisant le volume de trafic de gestion circulant dans la gestion d'autre part. L'architecture de l'application de gestion est basée sur une approche Client/Serveur à quatre niveaux. Une partie client représentée par un navigateur standard qui permettra d'afficher des interfaces (pages HTML et Applets) contenant des informations de gestion. Une partie serveur, qui constitue le noyau de cette architecture, permet l'accès des clients à l'application de gestion à travers leurs navigateurs. Les requêtes HTTP reçues et traitées au niveau du serveur sont souvent transformées en des commandes SNMP destinées aux agents intermédiaires. Ces derniers constituent le troisième niveau dans notre modèle. Ils permettent d'exécuter des tâches de gestion, déléguées par le manager, sur les ressources du réseau sous leur contrôle. Enfin, le dernier niveau est représenté par les ressources du réseau à gérer, qui dans notre cas sont représentées par des agents SNMP. L'architecture proposée présente une flexibilité et une dynamicité aux trois niveaux suivants : Niveau client en proposant une interface Web, utilisant les pages HTML et les Applets Java. Niveau serveur en utilisant les Servlets chargées dynamiquement dans le serveur. Niveau agents intermédiaires en étendant la classe standard ClassLoader de Java pour charger dynamiquement, vérifier et exécuter les objets scripts.

[en] COMPLEXITY IN EUCLIDEAN PLANE GEOMETRY / [pt] COMPLEXIDADE EM GEOMETRIA EUCLIDIANA PLANASILVANA MARINI RODRIGUES LOPES 25 February 2003 (has links)
[pt] Consideramos duas formas de complexidade em geometria
euclidiana plana.Na primeira, problemas são descritos
algebricamente, e a complexidade é cotada essencialmente
pelo grau de um polinômio. Como consequência, mostramos
que
vários resultados gerais e familiares em geometria podem
ser demonstrados a partir da simples verificação de dois
ou
três casos particulares. A segunda forma faz uso da
descrição sintática dos teoremas, que permite uma
quantificação da complexidade em termos lógicos (número
de
quantificadores e átomos de uma fórmula). Inspirados por
esta última abordagem, são descritos alguns procedimentos
de demonstração automática. Alguns grupos habituais de
operções em geometria são apresentados com a intenção de
simplificar as duas abordagens.Através do estudo de
técnicas mais avançadas em matemática trazemos novos
pontos de vista a assuntos estudados no ensino médio. / [en] Two forms of complexity in Euclidean plane geometry are
considered. In the first one, problems are described
algebraically, and the complexity level is measured
essentially by the degree of a polynomial. As a
consequence, many familiar and general results in geometry
can be proved by inspecting two or three special cases. The
second form uses the syntactic description of a theorem
allowing for a quanti.cation of the complexity in logic
terms (number of quantifiers and atoms in the formula).
Inspired by this approach, some procedures in mechanized
proofs are described. We also present some traditional
groups of operations in geometry which simplify the two
approaches. The study of more advanced techniques in
mathematics sheds new light on standard high school topics.

De-automatization through awareness of subjective realism : a neurophenomenological account of meditative states and their effect on cognitive bias / Désautomatisation à travers la prise de conscience du réalisme subjectif : exploration neurophénoménologique des états méditatifs et de leurs effets sur le biais cognitifBaquedano Larrain, Constanza 22 December 2017 (has links)
L'une des caractéristiques principales de la méditation de pleine conscience est la réalisation que les événements perçus ou imaginés ne sont pas nécessairement une représentation exacte de la réalité, un processus connu sous le nom de déréification. La déréification est aussi l'objectif de nombreuses approches psychothérapeutiques, puisque l'on sait que l'immersion excessive dans le mental peut être liée à la détresse psychologique et à certains troubles psychiatriques. L'objectif de notre étude était d'évaluer dans quelle mesure la réification des contenus mentaux (réalisme subjectif) contribue aux dispositions automatiques et de comprendre les mécanismes permettant aux pratiques de méditation de les modifier. Notre hypothèse principale était que la reconnaissance du réalisme subjectif grâce aux pratiques méditatives de pleine conscience réduit le biais cognitif. Nous avons mené deux études auprès de méditants novices et expérimentés. Dans la première nous avons exploré l'effet d'une instruction brève de pleine présence sur l'attitude envers la nourriture, pour étudier comment le réalisme subjectif module les tendances automatiques d'approche et d'évitement. La seconde étude nous a permis d'explorer l'impact de la méditation sur la modulation des attentes sémantiques automatiques dans un paradigme de narration. Nous avons adopté une approche neurophénoménologique, combinant des données moléculaires, physiologiques, électroencéphalographiques et comportementales, avec des données à la première personne recueillies à l'aide d'auto-évaluations et d'entretiens qualitatifs. Dans l'ensemble, nos résultats multimodaux ont confirmé notre hypothèse selon laquelle la déréalisation peut entraîner la réduction du biais cognitif. Les résultats de l'exploration phénoménologique indiquent que les participants ont utilisé différentes stratégies cognitives pour réaliser la déréification, et que de telles stratégies varient en fonction de l'expérience en méditation. Les participants novices utilisent plus souvent des stratégies de type réévaluation cognitive et régulation émotionnelle, qui se reflètent dans la modulation des composantes tardives des potentiels évoqués (PE) cérébraux. En revanche les méditants utilisent moins souvent des stratégies élaboratives, en accord avec la modulation de composantes plus précoces des PE. / One of the key features of Mindful meditation is realizing that imagined or perceived events are not necessarily an accurate depiction of reality, a process known as dereification. Dereification is also a target of many psychotherapeutic approaches, as excessive immersion into one's mental contents has been related to psychological distress and several psychiatric conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent engagement with mental content as being real (i.e. subjective realism) can bias automatic tendencies toward the world, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which meditation practices can modulate it. Our main hypothesis was that recognizing subjective realism during mindfulness-related practices de-automatizes cognitive bias.We ran two studies in naïve and experienced meditators: Firstly, we explored the effect of a brief mindful-attention instruction on a food engagement paradigm to investigate how subjective realism modulates automatic approach-avoidance tendencies. Secondly, we explored whether mindful-attention meditation could modulate automatic semantic expectations in a modified storytelling paradigm. We used a neurophenomenological approach, combining molecular, physiological, electroencephalographic (EEG) and behavioral data, with first-person data collected using self-reports and qualitative interviews.Overall, behavioral, physiological and EEG results supported our hypothesis that derealization can prompt des-automatization of cognitive bias. Neurophenomenological accounts indicate that participants used different cognitive strategies to achieve dereification, and that such strategies vary as a function of meditation expertise, among others. Naïve participants use more often cognitive reappraisal/emotional regulation-type strategies, which are reflected in the modulation of late ERP components. In contrast, meditators used less often elaborative strategies as reflected by the modulation of early sensory ERPs

Database centric software test management framework for test metricsPleehajinda, Parawee 06 November 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Big amounts of test data generated by the current used software testing tools (QA-C/QA-C++ and Cantata) contain a variety of different values. The variances cause enormous challenges in data aggregation and interpretation that directly affect generation of test metrics. Due to the circumstance of data processing, this master thesis introduces a database-centric test management framework for test metrics aims at centrally handling the big data as well as facilitating the generation of test metrics. Each test result will be individually parsed to be a particular format before being stored in a centralized database. A friendly front-end user interface is connected and synchronized with the database that allows authorized users to interact with the stored data. With a granularity tracking mechanism, any stored data will be systematically located and programmatically interpreted by a test metrics generator to create various kinds of high-quality test metrics. The automatization of the framework is driven by Jenkins CI to automatically and periodically performing the sequential operations. The technology greatly and effectively optimizes and reduces effort in the development, as well as enhance the performance of the software testing processes. In this research, the framework is only started at managing the testing processes on software-unit level. However, because of the independence of the database from levels of software testing, it could also be expanded to support software development at any level.
