Abstract. The MyData is concept framework that refers to human-centric ways of personal data management. Personal data gained significant attention recently. As the developing of Ubicomp technology, more and more particularly personal data are generating and collecting. Personal data own increasingly important economic, social, and practical value. However, individuals have little or no power to control when and how their data being created or processed by companies, organizations or governments. The MyData aim to provide individuals with practical methods to obtain, access, and utilize their

Abstract:

This thesis explores and tests an integrated, social cognitive approach to understanding leadership and developing leaders within healthcare organisations in the United Kingdom. Two studies were implemented; the first involved an assessment of the personal and environmental components of leaders and their followers, as well as the self-reported and follower-rated behaviour of leaders in eight National Health Service (NHS) organisations. The second study involved working with 15 organisations across the NHS to implement and evaluate a scenario-based training intervention which promotes a social

Several initiatives have been started, in different countries, to tackle these problems and some have introduced a “sugar tax” on unhealthy products, like candy and soda, which has become a well- debated subject also in Sweden today.

The multi-million-dollar medical uniform industry has not utilized advancements in garment and textile technology that could positively impact the protection of healthcare professionals and patients. In most cases the uniforms meet basic requirements – they clothe the professional in a recognizable way. Little innovation in design, function and performance, has been applied to these garments. This is particularly evident in the case of the stereotypical white lab coat worn by many physicians, despite evidence indicating that these lab coats may carry contamination and play a role in the spread

Abstract:

The 2050 national energy scenarios as planned by the DECC, academia and industry specify a range of different decarbonised supply side technologies combined with the electrification of transportation and heating. Little attention is paid to the household demand side; indeed within many scenarios a high degree of domestic Demand Side Management (DSM) is implicit if the National Grid is to maintain supply-demand balance. A top-down, bottom-up hybrid model named Shed-able Household Energy Demand (SHED) has been developed and the results of which presented within this thesis. SHED models six publi

Abstract:

The main objective of this thesis was to determine how far a biomass quantity, equal to the potential produced within the Swedish borders, could cover the present energy needs inSwedenwith respect to economic and ecological circumstances. Three scenarios were studied where the available biomass was converted to heat, electricity and vehicle fuel. Three different amounts of biomass supply were studied for each scenario: 1) potential biomass amounts derived from forestry, non-forest land, forest industry and community; 2) the same amounts as in Case 1, plus the potential biomass amounts derived

Abstract:

One of the most attractive options to satisfy the continuously growing world energy demand is controlled thermonuclear fusion. The scientific and technological work for achieving it has been significantly boosted after the recent decision to build the international tokamak ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). Amongst the physical problems still open, understanding and controlling heat transport is of primary importance for the optimization of the operational scenarios of ITER. Given the complexity of plasma transport processes, a full theoretical understanding of the experi

Abstract:

Despite advances in health care over the past decades, medical errors and omissions remain significant threats to patient safety and health. A large number of these mistakes are made by trainees, persons who are just beginning to build the case-based experiences that will transform them from novices to expert practitioners. Clinicians use both intuitive and deductive problem-solving skills in caring for patients and they acquire expertise in applying these skills through interaction with many and varied cases. The contemporary heath care environment, with decreased lengths of stay for patients

Abstract:

Urban areas have been recognized as the heart of the decarbonisation process, being potential drivers of sustainable or unsustainable paths. The necessary transition to cleaner and more sustainable cities recently raised the research attention on the possible ways to perform urban energy planning. However, there is still not a wellrecognized procedure and an agreed methodological framework to support urban energy planning, leading to inappropriate strategy definitions, directly focusing on the design of a pre-defined plan. This thesis has the primary objective to contribute in providing a the

Abstract:

When urban areas experience higher temperature than their surrounding rural areas, this phenomenon is called the urban heat island (UHI) effect. UHI contributes to global warming. Urban planning policy plays a significant role in controlling the UHI. This study examines the UHI effects of urban planning policy scenarios for Brisbane, including: a) business as usual; b) transit oriented development; c) infill development; d) motorway oriented development; and e) sprawl development. The findings show Infill development will be effective but will generate pockets of extreme UHI. Sprawl developmen

Abstract:

This paper explores the cross-cultural differences in affect valuation, emotion regulation, and the relationship between affect valuation, emotion regulation and subjective well-being across White Americans, Asians, and Third Culture Kids (TCKs). Emotional experiences shape every facet of our lives, yet understanding the extent to which emotional experiences are universal is still poorly understood. This is particularly the case among individuals with diverse cultural experiences. In the current study, we look at TCK individuals, a group composed of White-identifying individuals who spent a si

Abstract:

This thesis is devoted to heat transfer and fire dynamics in enclosures. It consists of a main part which summarizes and discusses the theory of heat transfer, conservation of energy, fire dynamics and specific fire scenarios that have been studied. In the second part of this thesis, the reader will find an Appendix containing seven scientific publications in this field. In particular, one- and two-zone compartment fire models have been studied. A new way of calculating fire temperatures of pre- and post-flashover compartment fires is presented. Three levels of solution techniques are presente

Abstract:

The development of new cultivars better adapted to specific growing conditions is a key strategy to meet an ever-increasing growing global food demand and search for more sustainable cropping systems. This is even more crucial in the context of a changing climate. Ecophysiological models and advanced computational techniques (e.g., sensitivity analysis, SA) represent powerful tools to analyze genotype (G) by environment (E) interactions, thus supporting breeders in identifying key traits for specific agro-environmental contexts. However, limits for the effective use of mathematical models wit
