Abstract:

This research project focused on the treatment of safety risks in railways. Existing methodologies for assessment and management of the safety risk on railways are mostly empirical and have been developed out of a need to satisfy the regulatory requirements and in response to a number of major accidents. Almost all of these processes and methodologies have been developed in support of approvals of specific products or very simple systems and do not add up to a holistic coherent methodology suited for analysis of modern, complex systems, involving many vastly different constituents (software, h

Abstract:

The topic of the climate change has become a crucial problem that all the Planet has to face. Indeed, the GHG emissions are one of the main factors causing climate change, that can lead to the damage of the biodiversity. Therefore, nowadays the industry needs to find alternatives to fossil fuels for the production and supply of energy and the use of hydrogen as an energy vector is currently under investigation. In this study, five alternative processes for the production of hydrogen were analyzed from the point of view of inherent safety. The production of hydrogen from methane feedstock have

Abstract:

A system is safety-critical if its malfunctioning could have catastrophic consequences for people, property or the environment, e.g., the failure in a car's braking system could be potentially tragic. To produce such type of systems, special procedures, and strategies, that permit their safer deployment into society, should be used. Therefore, manufacturers of safety-critical systems comply with domain-specific safety standards, which embody the public consensus of acceptably safe. Safety standards also contain a repository of expert knowledge and best practices that can, to some extent, facil

Abstract:

In quantified safety engineering, mathematical probability models are used to predict the risk of failure or hazardous events in systems. Markov processes have commonly been utilized to analyze the safety of systems modeled as discrete-state stochastic processes. In continuous time Markov models, transition time between states are exponentially distributed. Semi-Markov processes expand this modeling framework by allowing transition time between states to follow any distribution. This master thesis project seeks to extend the semi-Markov modeling framework even further by allowing hierarchical

Abstract:

Several manufacturers of road vehicles today are working on developing autonomous vehicles. One subject that is often up for discussion when it comes to integrating autonomous road vehicles into the infrastructure is the safety aspect. There is in the context no common view of how safety should be quantified. As a contribution to this discussion we propose describing each potential hazardous event of a vehicle as a Semi-Markov Process (SMP). A reliability-based method for using the semi-Markov representation to calculate the probability of a hazardous event to occur is presented. The method si

Abstract:

Safety risk assessment forms an integral part of the design and development of Safety Critical Systems. Conventionally in these systems, standards and policies have been developed to prescribe processes for safety risk assessment. These standards provide guidelines, references and structure to personnel involved in the risk assessment process. However, in some of these standards, the prescribed methods for safety decision making were found to be deficient in some respects. Two such deficiencies have been addressed in this thesis.

<p>Accurate and safe medication administration is an important aspect in the everyday care of the hospitalized patient. Patients put their trust and safety into the hands of those providing care and expect that care is provided in a safe and efficient manner. Nurses strive to provide high quality error free, patient care. With adult patients, medication administration accounts for 26% to 32% of hospital medication errors (Koppel, Wetterneck, Telles, & Karsh, 2008). Only 2% of administration errors are corrected before reaching the patient (Dwibedi, et al., 2011). Literature supports that k

Abstract:

Introduction: Participation in meaningful occupations can be limited due to a range of risks and safety concerns following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research has shown that positive risk-taking, an approach that embraces risk whilst enabling choice and control, has led to positive client-centred outcomes. However, there is no literature available to support the application of or guide the professional reasoning processes for positive risk-taking for occupational therapists working in the field of community TBI practice. Objectives: Describe occupational therapists' profession reasoning pro

Abstract:

Medication administration errors (MAEs) in hospitals account for the majority of reported medication-related patient harm in the UK. Research suggests error-prevention strategies should focus on reducing error-producing conditions associated with systems and processes. However, medication administration is complex, and potential systems and process variations exist across the National Health Service (NHS) which present a barrier to prioritising and developing interventions to reduce error. This thesis investigates variations in hospital medication systems and their potential effects on the saf

Estruturas e processos de desenvolvimento de programas computacionais e estruturas e processos organizacionais que incluem os programas, quando considerados separadamente, resultam em estudos de segurança de programas computacionais que, em geral, levam em conta apenas ambientes e organizações tradicionais. Ambientes e organizações virtuais podem ser utilizados para representar a regulação entre diferentes estruturas e processos, resultando em melhores interpretações sobre o desenvolvimento da segurança de programas computacionais.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Bristande kommunikation och informationsöverföring är huvudorsaken till upp-komsten av vårdskador i hälso- och sjukvården. Komplexiteten i hälso- och sjukvårds organisat-ion i kombination med den mänskliga faktorn ställer krav på struktur i kommunikationen med hjälp av standardisering. En utmaning för hälso- och sjukvården är att implementera och studera standardiserade kommunikationsmetoder och studera effekten på patientsäkerhet och arbets-miljö. SBAR (Situation-Bakgrund-Aktuell Status-Rekommendation) är en kunskapsbaserad kommunikationsmetod, utvecklad för överföring av kritisk in
