<p>Abstract: Typ-1 diabetes eller så kallad insulinberoende diabetes, drabbar vissa barn och tonåringar. De tvingas leva hela sina liv med att injicera insulin i sin kropp, eftersom deras egen kropp har slutat tillverka insulin på egen hand. Insulinpennan är typ-1 diabetikers medicinska redskap som de måste ha tillhands vid varje måltid.</p><p>Syftet med denna studie är att utveckla och ta fram ett exempel på hur ett grafiskt gränssnitt med Mp3-spelare bör se ut i en insulindoserare som riktar sig till tonåringar. För att utreda hur gränssnitt ska utformas har kvalitativa intervjufrågor ställts till produktutvecklare, diabetessjuksköterskor och tonåringar. Vidare har också analyser gjorts på befintliga insulinpennor och Mp3-spelare.</p><p>Resultatet av studien är en prototyp av en insulindoserare som simuleras i Shockwave. Prototypen har med hjälp av testerna, intervjuer och analyser resulterat i hur gränssnittet bör se ut hos en insulindoserare med Mp3-spelare. Insulindoseraren innehåller de grundläggande mekaniska funktionen som en insulinpenna besitter, nämligen dosering och injektion av insulin. Utöver detta har övriga funktioner implementerats vilka har framtagits i samband med de intervjuer som gjorts. Det är timer som talar om för patienten när det är lämpligt att ta ut nålen efter en injektion. Det finns dessutom ett minne där patienten kan se vilken tid och datum en angiven dos har injicerats. För att påminna patienten om att ta sitt insulin finns det upp till 5 programmerbara alarmtider.</p><p>Mp3-spelaren i insulindoseraren tas fram genom att analysera tre Mp3-spelare. Där har strukturen på gränssnittet, funktionerna i Mp3-spelarna och styrenheten en betydande roll i utvecklingen. Det har i produktutvecklingen även tagits hänsyn till vad tonåringar anser är en tilltalande Mp3-spelare.</p>

Today’s process control industry, which is extensively automated, generates huge amounts of process data from the sensors used to monitor the processes. These data if effectively analyzed and interpreted can give a clearer picture of the performance of the underlying process and can be used for its proactive monitoring. With the great advancements in computing systems a new genre of process monitoring and fault detection systems are being developed which are essentially data-driven. The objectives of this research are to explore a set of data-driven methodologies with a motive to provide a predictive modeling framework and to apply it to process control. This project explores some of the data-driven methods being used in the process control industry, compares their performance, and introduces a novel method based on statistical process control techniques. To evaluate the performance of this novel predictive modeling technique called Multi-state PLS, a patented continuous process analytics technique that is being developed at Emerson Process Management, Austin, some extensive simulations were performed in MATLAB. A MATLAB Graphical User Interface has been developed for implementing the algorithm on the data generated from the simulation of a continuously stirred blending tank. The effects of noise, disturbances, and different excitations on the performance of this algorithm were studied through these simulations. The simulations have been performed first on a steady state system and then applied to a dynamic system .Based on the results obtained for the dynamic system, some modifications have been done in the algorithm to further improve the prediction performance when the system is in dynamic state. Future work includes implementing of the MATLAB based predictive modeling technique to real production data, assessing the performance of the algorithm and to compare with the performance for simulated data. / text

Mobile devices such as cell phones and personal digital assistance are widely used in new software products. Testing takes important place in software development process. Constraints of mobile devices (speed, amount of memory, energy, small screen, wide range of platforms) raise new problems for software development process including testing phase. Automated approach of software testing reduces testing time and increases testing range. It is important to distinguish graphic user interface as a special part of testing. The aim of these master theses is to analyze automated testing of GUI for mobile devices, define testing tasks and ways to complete them.

In the process of building maintainable and customizable software used and displayed in different mediums, a user interface (UI) that is auto-generated from meta-data can be built. That way minimal effort can be made when customizing the software. This thesis took place at the financial software company SunGard. Traders have requested a web based solution to one of SunGard's financial softwares, and will be used for managing structured products. The solution had to work with some already defined web and server components that SunGard is using. The web tool used for making a prototype and evaluating the suitability was AngularJS. As a result it was found that it was possible to create a meta-data driven UI. Some programmatic design issues when generating the UI are discussed.

In this thesis, we propose a new design of privacy and session control for improving a collaborative molecular modeling CVR system AMMP-VIS [1]. The design mainly addresses the issue of competing user interests and privacy protection coordination. Based on our investigation of AMMP-VIS, we propose a four-level access control structure for collaborative sessions and dynamic action priority specification for manipulations on shared molecular models. Our design allows a single user to participate in multiple simultaneous sessions. Moreover, a messaging system with text chatting and system broadcasting functionality is included. A 2D user interface [2] for easy command invocation is developed in Python. Two other key aspects of system implementation, the collaboration Central deployment and the 2D GUI for control are also discussed. Finally, we describe our system evaluation plan which is based on an improved cognitive walkthrough and heuristic evaluation as well as statistical usage data.

A partir dos avanços obtidos pela industria farmacêutica surgiram diversos medicamentos para o combate de enfermidades. Esses medicamentos possuem efeito tópico similar porém com suaves modificações em sua estrutura bioquímica, com isso a concorrência entre as industrias farmacêuticas se torna cada vez mais acirrada. Como forma de comparar a efetividade desses medicamentos, surgem diversas metodologias, com o objetivo de encontrar qual seria o melhor medicamento para uma dada situação. Uma das metodologias estudadas é a comparação mista de tratamentos, cujo objetivo é encontrar a efetividade de determinadas drogas em estudos e/ou ensaios clínicos que abordem, mesmo que de maneira indireta, os medicamentos estudados. A utilização dessa metodologia é demasiadamente complexa pois requer conhecimento de linguagens de programação em ambientes estatísticos além do domínio sobre as metodologias aplicadas a essa técnica. O objetivo principal desse estudo é a criação de uma interface gráfica que facilite a utilização do MTC para usuários que não possuam conhecimento em linguagens de programação, que seja de código aberto e multiplataforma. A expectativa é que, com essa interface, a utilização de técnicas mais abrangentes e avançadas seja facilitada, além disso, venha tornar o ensinamento sobre o tema mais facilitado para pessoas que ainda não conhecem o método / Based on the progress made by the pharmaceutical industry, several medications have emerged to combat diseases. These drugs have similar topic effects but with subtle changes in their biochemical structure, thus competition between the pharmaceutical industry becomes increasingly fierce. In order to compare the effectiveness of these drugs, appear different methodologies with the objective of find what would be the best medicine for a given situation. One of the methods studied is the Mixed Treatment Comparision (MTC) whose objective is to find the effectiveness of certain drugs in studies and / or clinical trials that address, even if indirectly, the drugs studied. The use of this methodology is too complex because it requires knowledge of programming languages in statistical environments, beyond the mastery of the methodologies applied to this technique. The main objective of this study is to create a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates the use of MTC for users who have no knowledge in programming languages, which is open source and cross-platform. The expectation about this interface is that the use of more comprehensive and advanced techniques is facilitated, moreover, make the teaching about the topic easier for people who do not know the method
