71	Strokekedjan från början till slut : En etnografisk studie om farlighet och tid i en akut vårdkedja / An ethnographic study of decisionmaking during handling of acute stroke patients Ståhl, Sally January 2012 (has links) Varje år drabbas 30 000 svenskar av stroke, vilket innebär stora personliga omställningar och stora kostnader för samhället. Den mest effektiva behandlingen, trombolys, måste ges så snart som möjligt för att ha god effekt. Samtidigt som det är av största vikt att ta reda på om patienten har några differentialdiagnoser som gör behandlingen riskfylld. Den här studien undersöker hur strokekedjan går till och vilka faktorer som påverkar beslutsfattandet. Studien är baserad på etnografiska fältstudier på fyra svenska sjukhus och materialet är analyserat med metoder från sammansatta kognitiva system och målorienterad design. Resultaten visar att trots olika organiserade strokekedjor på de olika sjukhusen är processerna desamma och direkt kommunikation är mest framgångsrik för att effektivt sprida information mellan dem. Neurologjouren är viktig roll som, liksom resten av aktörerna i strokekedjan, ständigt balanserar sitt beslutsfattande mellan effektivitet och grundlighet. Kombinationen av analyser ger resultat både på system- och individnivå. Möjligheter för förbättrade strokekedjor ges i termer av logistiska, tekniska och organisatoriska förslag. / 30 000 people in Sweden get a stroke every year. This leads to large personal adaptions as well as high costs for the society. The most efficient treatment, thrombolysis, must be given as soon as possible to have a good effect. At the same time it is very important to find out if the patient has any differential diagnosis that can make the treatment hazardous. This study investigates how the course ov events around acute stroke patients take place and important factors for the decision making. The studiy is based on ethnographic field studys on four swedish hospitals. The material is analysed with methods from joint cognitive systems and goal-oriented design. The results show that in spite of different organisation of the course of events around acute stroke patients are the processes and direct communication most successful for effective spread of information between the processes. The neurologist on call is an important roll who, as well as the rest of the participants in the course of events, balances the decision making between efficiency and thoroughness. The combination of analysis gives results on both system- and individual levels. Possibilites for improvents are given in three categories: logistic, technological and organizational. stroke emergency medical service cognitive science ethnography ethnopgraphic methodology cognitive science engieneering joint cognitive systems COCOM contextual control model goal-directed design behaviour variables personas contextual scenario storyboard ETTO-principle Efficiency-Thoroughness Trade-Off stroke strokevård vårdkedja akutsjukvård kognitionsvetenskap etnografi etnografisk metod sammansatta kognitiva system målorienterad design ETTO-principen COCOM kontextuell kontroll-loop beteendevariabler persona storyboard kontextscenario Human Computer Interaction

73	Development and Evaluation of a Machine Vision System for Digital Thread Data Traceability in a Manufacturing Assembly Environment Alexander W Meredith (15305698) 29 April 2023 (has links) <p>A thesis study investigating the development and evaluation of a computer vision (CV) system for a manufacturing assembly task is reported. The CV inference results are compared to a Manufacturing Process Plan and an automation method completes a buyoff in the software, Solumina. Research questions were created and three hypotheses were tested. A literature review was conducted recognizing little consensus of Industry 4.0 technology adoption in manufacturing industries. Furthermore, the literature review uncovered the need for additional research within the topic of CV. Specifically, literature points towards more research regarding the cognitive capabilities of CV in manufacturing. A CV system was developed and evaluated to test for 90% or greater confidence in part detection. A CV dataset was developed and the system was trained and validated with it. Dataset contextualization was leveraged and evaluated, as per literature. A CV system was trained from custom datasets, containing six classes of part. The pre-contextualization dataset and post-contextualization dataset was compared by a Two-Sample T-Test and statistical significance was noted for three classes. A python script was developed to compare as-assembled locations with as-defined positions of components, per the Manufacturing Process Plan. A comparison of yields test for CV-based True Positives (TPs) and human-based TPs was conducted with the system operating at a 2σ level. An automation method utilizing Microsoft Power Automate was developed to complete the cognitive functionality of the CV system testing, by completing a buyoff in the software, Solumina, if CV-based TPs were equal to or greater than human-based TPs.</p> Automation engineering Flexible manufacturing systems Industrial engineering Manufacturing safety and quality Knowledge representation and reasoning Computer vision Object detection and classification object detection and tracking Smart Manufacturing Systems MES system Smart Manufacturing Approach Quality engineering Manufacturing automation systems manufacturing automation Cognitive Systems Engineering cognitive system computer vision machine vision manufacturing execution system robotic process automation Digital Thread (DT) Digital Thread digital twin approach manufacturing assembly assembly quality manufacturing traceability advanced manufacturing advanced quality control Quality 4.0 Industry 4.0 Industry 5.0 Quality 5.0 Human Machine Interactions
