Abstract:
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are widely used to inform guidelines, policy, and practice. Yet, there are several limitations associated with traditional systematic reviews. Potential sources of bias, such as publication bias and selective outcome reporting, can produce misleading results, and when individual studies collect different outcomes or use different measures to assess the same outcomes, this can make them difficult and sometimes impossible to synthesise. Traditional aggregate data meta-analyses give estimates about average effects, but provide limited reliable information on w

Abstract:
This thesis describes research into a methodology for the systematic development of engineering line diagrams (ELOs) from process tlowsheets with a particular emphasis on safety, health and environmental (SHE) and operability issues. The current approach to the consideration of safety in design is largely reactive, relying on design reviews such as the HAZOP. If design safety is to be improved, then a comprehensive system, incorporating both proactive and reactive methods, must be adopted. The facility to develop proactive safety systems relies upon the presence of a systematic design procedur

Abstract:
Automated Test Data Generation (ATDG) is an activity that in the course of software testing automatically generates test data for the software under test (SUT). It usually makes the testing more efficient and cost effective. Test Data Generation (TDG) is crucial for software testing because test data is one of the key factors for determining the quality of any software test during its execution. The multi-phased activity of ATDG involves various techniques for each of its phases.

SiGe heterostructures with higher Ge fractions and larger Ge modulations, and thus higher compressive stress, are key structures for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Si-Ge interdiffusion during high temperature growth or fabrication steps changes the distribution of Ge fraction and stress, and increases atomic intermixing, which degrades device performance. It is of technological importance to study Si-Ge interdiffusion behaviours and build accurate Si-Ge interdiffusivity models.

L'alignement consiste à mettre en correspondance des unités au sein de bitextes, associant un texte en langue source et sa traduction dans une langue cible. L'alignement peut se concevoir à plusieurs niveaux: entre phrases, entre groupes de mots, entre mots, voire à un niveau plus fin lorsque l'une des langues est morphologiquement complexe, ce qui implique d'aligner des fragments de mot (morphèmes). L'alignement peut être envisagé également sur des structures linguistiques plus complexes des arbres ou des graphes. Il s'agit d'une tâche complexe, sous-spécifiée, que les humains réalisent avec

Abstract:
This is an action-oriented study aimed at designing a practical methodology for generating evidence backed solutions for practical problems by means of literature review. Three iterations of systematic review are applied which evaluates different search strategies and reporting structures to provide a framework for an ideation technique. Resulting in an adaptation of a previously used framework which can be deployed to different extents that appears to result in design propositions alongside individual interventions.

Abstract:
This work gathers a research carried out on the use of context-aware technologies in their application to the field of mental health. It starts performing a review of mobile technologies used in psychological interventions and extracting the characteristics and disorders most discussed; it continues to propose considerations to take into account in the development of this type of technologies to increase its chances of success, focusing on three areas of study: Context, Mental Health and Technology; The next contribution is the process of developing a platform that allows therapists to create

Abstract:
This thesis assumes the architectural design process as a systematic study, in which knowledge is stored, organized and operated on by computational methods. From this perspective, the study explores the efforts for systemizing the architectural design process. Firstly, the focus is on the early approaches of systemizing design in the Design Methods Movement. The thesis identifies and evaluates the use of a number of critical concepts in this movement and in recent architecture practice, in order to see the development and transformation of design methods in terms of computing knowledge in a s

Abstract:
Syfte Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att ta reda på om barn och ungdomars fysiska inaktivitet/stillasittande har förändrats de senaste 15 åren. Denna studie har undersökt hur stillasittande i tid har sett ut hos barn och ungdomar från olika delar av världen med hjälp av några studier. Frågeställning: Hur har trenden i stillasittande tid sett ut hos barn och ungdomar mellan 1997 och 2012? Metod Litteraturstudien påbörjades via databasen PubMed, under vårterminen 2015. Grunden för sökningarna baserades på detaljerade sökord med olika kombinationer. För att hitta väsentliga st

Abstract:
Characterising and understanding factors that affect the rate of molecular evolution in proteins has played a major part in the development of evolutionary theory. The early analyses of amino acid substitutions stimulated the development of the neutral theory of molecular evolution, which later evolved into the nearly neutral theory. More recent work has lead to a better understanding of the role selection plays at the molecular level, but there is still limited understanding of how higher levels of protein organisation affect the way natural selection acts. The investigation of this question
