This was a retrospective study analyzing the diagnosis of sepsis, a severe systemic reaction to infection, in the emergency department. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of hospital mortality. Though, despite an increased focus on sepsis awareness in recent years, the rates of sepsis are increasing. Both the root causes and the bodily effects of sepsis are varied which makes screening (the identification of potentially septic patients) and diagnosis (the identification of sepsis by a medical professional) extremely difficult.

Abstract:

Manufacturing has evolved from production-oriented to customer-oriented in the last century. The modern management approach is 'total integration' which is the integration of 'functional optimization', 'internal integration' and 'external integration'. Nowadays, Engineering and Business can no longer be viewed as two separate entities. Engineering Business Management (EBM) becomes the norm of modern manufacturing management.

Abstract:

<p> Disasters strike suddenly and cause destruction which disrupts the availability of basic survival supplies for people living in affected areas. The efficiency of humanitarian organizations in providing relief has a direct and crucial impact on the survival, health, and recovery of affected people and their communities.

Abstract:

The thesis applies the theories of Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) with a constructive research to the environment of real estate portfolio management. The aim of the research is to create a preference model for sorting real estates. There are multiple conflicting and incommensurable criteria involved in MCDA that cause a challenging decision situation for the decision maker. The advantage of using MCDA is decision maker’s ability to learn and understand both his own and others’ values and judgments. These benefits are received by actions such as taking the decision maker’s preferences

Abstract:

When customers buy a new product, the reliability related issues such as the warranty/post-warranty service and the performance of the product are becoming important factors in the customers' decision-making process. In this dissertation, some important aspects in estimating both warranty and post-warranty repair demands have been studied. To ensure the new product will have a good performance, the availability of a repairable k-out-of-n:G system considering spare parts logistics is investigated. The installed base of the product varies with time due to both new sales and units being taken out
