Abstract:
With the increasing size of 3D environments manual modelling becomes a more and more difficult task to perform, while retaining variety in the assets. The use of procedural generation is a well-established procedure within the field today. There have been multiple works presented within the field before, but many of them only focus on certain parts of the process. In this thesis a system is presented for procedurally generating complete build- ings, with an interior. Evaluation has shown that the developed system is compa- rable to existing systems, both in terms of performance and level of detail. The resulted buildings could be utilized in real time environments, such as computer games, where enterable buildings often are a requirement for making the envi- ronment feel alive.

Ball, Liezl Hilde. "Enhancing digital text collections with detailed metadata to improve retrieval." Thesis, University of Pretoria, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/79015.

Abstract:
Digital text collections are increasingly important, as they enable researchers to explore new ways of interacting with texts through the use of technology. Various tools have been developed to facilitate exploring and searching in text collections at a fairly low level of granularity. Ideally, it should be possible to filter the results at a greater level of granularity to retrieve only specific instances in which the researcher is interested. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent detailed metadata could be used to enhance texts in order to improve retrieval. To do this, the researcher had to identify metadata that could be useful to filter according to and find ways in which these metadata can be applied to or encoded in texts. The researcher also had to evaluate existing tools to determine to what extent current tools support retrieval on a fine-grained level. After identifying useful metadata and reviewing existing tools, the researcher could suggest a metadata framework that could be used to encode texts on a detailed level. Metadata in five different categories were used, namely morphological, syntactic, semantic, functional and bibliographic. A further contribution in this metadata framework was the addition of in-text bibliographic metadata, to use where sections in a text have different properties than those in the main text. The suggested framework had to be tested to determine if retrieval was indeed improved. In order to do so, a selection of texts was encoded with the suggested framework and a prototype was developed to test the retrieval. The prototype receives the encoded texts and stores the information in a database. A graphical user interface was developed to enable searching in the database in an easy and intuitive manner. The prototype demonstrates that it is possible to search for words or phrases with specific properties when detailed metadata are applied to texts. The fine-grained metadata from five different categories enable retrieval on a greater level of granularity and specificity. It is therefore recommended that detailed metadata are used to encode texts in order to improve retrieval in digital text collections.

Abstract:
This dissertation describes the process of building a detailed traffic assignment model for the Greater Montreal region using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Although deterministic user-equilibrium traffic models are widely used in planning practice, most contemporary research into transportation models attempts to deal with the numerous theoretical shortcomings of the static modeling framework through dynamic methods while the potential for improvements on conventional algorithms remains largely unexplored. GIS offer a powerful mechanism for achieving such improvements. This research demonstrates how GIS can be profitably applied in the construction of a traffic assignment model with a very fine spatial resolution. The time savings incurred through the application of GIS permit the construction of a very detailed metropolitan street network comprising approximately 245,000 directional links and a corresponding system of 981 traffic analysis zones.

Abstract:
Building Information Modeling has provided many benefits to the architectural, engineering, construction and facilities management communities. Many studies have been done to validate the asserted benefits, including benefits to the field of estimating. The studies on estimating are currently limited to the realm of conceptual estimates, and have only treated detailed estimates in the abstract. The purpose of this study was to determine how BIM was being used by companies in a hard bid, or detailed estimate scenario. The research team used the Deseret Towers housing project at Brigham Young University as the basis for the research. A building information model (BIM) was provided to all bidders on the project, and at the conclusion of the bidding process a survey was used to determine how the contractors used the model in their bidding processes. The findings determined that a few of the contractors did use the model for quantity takeoff, and one actually used the quantities as the basis for the submitted bid. Additionally, the survey attempted to determine the prevailing attitudes of the estimators toward BIM as a tool in estimating, and their opinions of the future of BIM in estimating.

Abstract:
The classification of medical conditions with the use of samples of patient input text is a very important task that has many applications. Given the recent developments in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), in this work we aim to evaluate and compare these recent techniques with more traditional approaches based on their performance on this task. Furthermore, as the performance of each method does not correspond to its complexity and number of parameters, it is very important to assess their resource requirements mainly in terms of memory usage. We perform our experiments using a data-set that consists of concise descriptions of symptoms by a user, each corresponding to a main condition. We show that traditional NLP approaches such as the Tf-Idf representations, can be competitive with more recent approaches for such a dataset. The criteria we evaluate each technique with are their performance on the classification task and their resource usage in terms of memory requirements. Furthermore, we rank all these techniques with these criteria in an effort to reach an overall conclusion that will potentially be useful, when it comes to deciding which of these NLP techniques is more appropriate for similar tasks.
Klassificeringen av medicinska tillstånd med användning av prover av patientinmatningstext är en mycket viktig uppgift som har många tillämpningar. Med tanke på den senaste utvecklingen inom området Natural Language Processing (NLP), syftar vi i detta arbete till att utvärdera och jämföra dessa senaste tekniker med mer traditionella tillvägagångssätt baserat på deras prestationer för denna uppgift. Eftersom prestandan för varje metod inte motsvarar dess komplexitet och antal parametrar är det dessutom mycket viktigt att bedöma deras resurskrav huvudsakligen när det gäller minnesanvändning. Vi utför våra experiment med hjälp av en datamängd som består av kortfattade beskrivningar av symtom av en användare, som var och en motsvarar ett huvudvillkor. Vi visar att traditionella NLP-metoder som Tf-Idf representationer kan vara konkurrenskraftiga med nyare metoder för en sådan datamängd. Kriterierna vi utvärderar varje teknik med är deras prestanda på klassificeringsuppgiften och deras resursanvändning när det gäller minneskrav. Vidare rangordnar vi alla dessa tekniker med dessa kriterier i ett försök att nå en övergripande slutsats som potentiellt kommer att vara användbar när det gäller att bestämma vilken av dessa NLP-tekniker som är lämpligare för liknande uppgifter.

Abstract:
Data visualisation in a virtual environment (VE) opens up new ways of presenting data and makes it possible for the observer to explore data in an immersive way. However, it also comes with a number of challenges. One of these challenges is data distinguishability. The data needs to be distinguishable against the background, but in a VE where the user can move around and observe the data from different perspectives, the backdrop will be constantly changing. This thesis studies this challenge and contributes knowledge to current research about data visualisation in VEs. The research question When in a detailed virtual environment, what impact does the varying background have on distinguishability of visualised data? is answered using a digital self -completion questionnaire and four hypotheses.  The data were not able to clearly determine if one of the colourmap used (YellowRed, Rainbow) was overall more effective than the other one. However, the rainbow colourmap did have marginally better results and was chosen by more participants as their preferred colourmap. The results did show that a larger number of participants disagreed that the light background made the data easier to distinguish in comparison to a dark backdrop. The results showed that more participants found it easier to see the data when seen from above than when from below. The two colourmaps were not equally effective regarding how well they could show both the VE and the data: The results indicating that the YellowRed colourmap was better at showing the details of the VE but not as good at distinguishing the data, whilst the Rainbow colourmap had the reverse results being better at distinguishing the data but less effective at showing the background.  The thesis concludes that it has fulfilled its goal of establishing a starting point for further studies, further studies that, according to the author, is woefully needed.

Full text
Abstract:

The current study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms and false memory formation for negative information, while looking at emotion regulation as a potential mediator and working memory as a potential moderator using a sample of undergraduate students from a medium Midwestern University. Participants were 95 students currently attending college. All participants completed measures of emotion regulation abilities, depressive symptoms, working memory, and a false memory task. Results indicated that depressive symptoms and emotion dysregulation were correlated with one another. The meditational analysis indicated that emotion regulation abilities did not mediate the relationship between depressive symptoms and false memory formation. Subsequent moderation analyses indicated that working memory abilities moderated the relationship between emotion dysregulation and false memory recognition, but that working memory did not moderate at any other point in the model. Implications and limitations of the present study were discussed herein.

Abstract:
This thesis investigated cognitive biases in attention, interpretation, and memory and their role in symptom perpetuation of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The first empirical study presented in the thesis used a quasi-experimental design to explore the interaction of attention and a cognitive state of rumination in 33 people with CFS and 33 healthy controls, who were randomly assigned to undergo either rumination or distraction cognitive state induction. In these altered cognitive state participants have completed a visual probe task measuring attentional processes. The CFS group did not show attentional bias towards illness-related information following the rumination induction, compared to the CFS group in the distraction state or healthy controls. However, being in a state of either rumination or distraction led to greater mood volatility in CFS group than in healthy controls. The second empirical study similarly used a quasi-experimental design to investigate the interaction of attention and mood in a sample of 16 people with CFS, 25 people with asthma, and 28 healthy controls. The study explored later-stage conscious allocation of attention in neutral or depressive mood, under either low or high cognitive load. CFS, asthma and healthy control participants were randomly allocated to a depressive or a neutral mood induction. Then the participants completed two cognitive tasks, a visual probe (high load) and an exogenous cueing (low load), to measure allocation of attention towards health-threat. Attentional bias towards health-threat emerged under the condition of high cognitive load and neutral mood in CFS and healthy controls, but not in the asthma group. Depressive mood did not exert an influence on attentional bias towards health-threat in CFS. The third empirical study, using a quasi-experimental design, investigated later-stage conscious allocation of attention towards activity and exertion-related stimuli in the conditions of neutral and depressive mood, and low and high cognitive load, utilising the same method as the second empirical study, described above. The same sample of participants consisting of 16 people with CFS, 25 asthma and 28 healthy controls completed a visual probe and an exogenous cueing task to measure allocation of attention towards activity words and pictures. Under high cognitive load CFS group showed increased attentional avoidance of activity-related stimuli, compared to healthy controls. Empirical Study 4 investigated the process of interpretation of ambiguous information collecting and analysing the data from the sample of 33 people with CFS and 33 healthy control volunteers who also participated in Study 1. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The participants completed a lexical decision task, which measured their reaction times to the presentation of ambiguous information that could be interpreted either in a threatening or in a neutral manner. The CFS group did not demonstrate a tendency to interpret ambiguous information in a negative illness-related fashion, compared to the healthy control group. The fifth study, a survey conducted via the Internet, utilised a mixed methods design to investigate features of autobiographical memory, specificity and perspective, in 87 people with CFS, 56 people with asthma, and 60 healthy controls. Participants completed a memory task, where they were asked to recall four types of events (happy, pain, fatigue, physical activity), and questionnaires assessing symptoms, functioning, activity, mood, and coping. The CFS and asthma groups recalled more specific memories of activity, compared to healthy controls. For CFS and asthma groups general activity memories were associated with more personal, field memory perspective. The activity memories recalled by CFS group were rich and diverse in content, reflecting a complex multidimensional view of activity. Healthy controls viewed activity specifically as sport and exercise-related. Fatigue memories recalled by the CFS group reflected a stable, global, profound view of fatigue. The overall findings partially supported the hypothesis that people with CFS may cognitively over-process the information related to potential health-threat. Enhanced cognitive processing of health-threatening information may underpin increased monitoring and overperception of CFS symptoms. Methods that can address cognitive processing, for example reduce over-processing of potential health-threat or modify perception of activity, may be of benefit in treatments that aim to increase activity levels in people with CFS, such as Graded Exercise Therapy.

Abstract:
Due to the transformation of different recommendation system from contentbased to hybrid cross-domain-based, there is an urge to prepare a socialnetwork dataset which will provide sufficient data as well as detail-level annotation from a predefined hierarchical clothing category and attribute based vocabulary by considering user interactions. However, existing fashionbased datasets lack either in hierarchical-category based representation or user interactions of social network. The thesis intends to represent two datasets- one from photo-sharing platform Instagram which gathers fashionistas images with all possible user-interactions and another from online-shop Zalando with every cloths detail. We present a design of a customized crawler that enables the user to crawl data based on category or attributes. Moreover, an efficient and collaborative web-solution is designed and implemented to facilitate large-scale hierarchical category-based detaillevel annotation of Instagram data. By considering all user-interactions, the developed solution provides a detail-level annotation facility that reflects the user’s preference. The web-solution is evaluated by the team as well as the Amazon Turk Service. The annotated output from different users proofs the usability of the web-solution in terms of availability and clarity. In addition to data crawling and annotation web-solution development, this project analyzes the Instagram and Zalando data distribution in terms of cloth category, subcategory and pattern to provide meaningful insight over data. Researcher community will benefit by using these datasets if they intend to work on a rich annotated dataset that represents social network and resembles in-detail cloth information.
Med tanke på trenden inom forskning av rekommendationssystem, där allt fler rekommendationssystem blir hybrida och designade för flera domäner, så finns det ett behov att framställa en datamängd från sociala medier som innehåller detaljerad information om klädkategorier, klädattribut, samt användarinteraktioner. Nuvarande datasets med inriktning mot mode saknar antingen en hierarkisk kategoristruktur eller information om användarinteraktion från sociala nätverk. Detta projekt har syftet att ta fram två dataset, ett dataset som insamlats från fotodelningsplattformen Instagram, som innehåller foton, text och användarinteraktioner från fashionistas, samt ett dataset som insamlats från klädutbutdet som ges av onlinebutiken Zalando. Vi presenterar designen av en webbcrawler som är anpassad för att kunna hämta data från de nämnda domänerna och är optimiserad för mode och klädattribut. Vi presenterar även en effektiv webblösning som är designad och implementerad för att möjliggöra annotering av stora mängder data från Instagram med väldigt detaljerad information om kläder. Genom att vi inkluderar användarinteraktioner i applikationen så kan vår webblösning ge användaranpassad annotering av data. Webblösningen har utvärderats av utvecklarna samt genom AmazonTurk tjänsten. Den annoterade datan från olika användare demonstrerar användarvänligheten av webblösningen. Utöver insamling av data och utveckling av ett system för webb-baserad annotering av data så har datadistributionerna i två modedomäner, Instagram och Zalando, analyserats. Datadistributionerna analyserades utifrån klädkategorier och med syftet att ge datainsikter. Forskning inom detta område kan dra nytta av våra resultat och våra datasets. Specifikt så kan våra datasets användas i domäner som kräver information om detaljerad klädinformation och användarinteraktioner.

Abstract:
Cette étude a pour but d’identifier les principaux facteurs associés au fardeau des aidants de patients atteints de démence. A ce jour, les résultats de la littérature ne mettent pas clairement en évidence la spécificité du lien entre les symptômes comportementaux et psychologiques (SCP) et le fardeau de l’aidant. Cette étude a pour objectif d’étudier l’association entre les SCP et le fardeau de l’aidant, dans le cadre spécifique d’un Centre Local d’Information et de Coordination (CLIC). Celui-ci a comme particularité de toucher une population vivant majoritairement à domicile et en milieu rural, éloignée des centres experts. Les évaluations se sont effectuées au domicile du patient. Les SCP ont été mesurés en utilisant le NPI chez 100 patients présentant une démence. Le fardeau de l’aidant a été évalué en utilisant l’échelle de fardeau de Zarit. Les résultats des analyses de régression linéaire montrent une association significative entre le score global du NPI et le score de fardeau. Cette association perdure, même après l’ajustement de ce score avec d’autres variables explicatives. D’autre part, des analyses univariées ont permis de mettre en évidence une association entre quasiment tous les SCP et le fardeau de l’aidant. Enfin, une analyse hiérarchique a permis de définir plusieurs profils de binômes aidant-aidé. Cette étude renforce l’idée de la nécessité d’un accompagnement spécifique des aidants de patients atteints de démence. Dans le cadre du CLIC, une étude pilote a ainsi pu être initiée avec une intervention structurée auprès des aidants depuis le mois d’avril 2007. Elle est précisément centrée sur la prise en compte des stratégies d’ajustement face aux SCP
The purpose of this study is to identify the principal factors associated with the burden of caregivers of patients with dementia. To date, the results of the literature do not clearly underline the specificity of the link between the Behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPS) and the burden of caregiver. This study aims then to study association between the BPS and the burden of caregiver, within the particularly framework of a Local Center of Information and Coordination (CLIC), touching a population alive mainly in residence in rural environment and far away from the expert centers. The evaluations were carried out in the residence of the patients. The BPS were evaluated by using the NPI among 100 patients with dementia. The burden of caregiver was evaluated by using the scale of burden of Zarit. The results of the linear regression analyses show a significant association between the total score obtained with the NPI and the score of burden. This association continues, even after the adjustment of this score with other known explanatory variables. In addition, the univaried analyses enabled us to highlight an association between almost all the BPS and the burden of caregiver. Distinct profiles of patient and caregiver are also defined. This study reinforces the idea of the need for a specific accompaniment of caregiver of patients with dementia. Within the framework of the CLIC, a pilot study thus could be initiated with an intervention structured near caregiver since April 2007. It is precisely centered on the taking into account of the strategies of adjustment facing BPS

Abstract:
O TDAH é um transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento e, de acordo com os novos critérios do DSM, a presença de vários sintomas antes de 12 anos de idade são exigidos. Além disso, o DSM-5 também incentiva o clínico a buscar informações colaterais para corroborar o diagnóstico, mesmo para adultos. O esforço para a obtenção de informações de terceiros seria justificada se uma evidência robusta de sua relevância pudesse ser demonstrada. Este é um estudo transversal com 449 pacientes adultos com TDAH e 143 controles, entrevistados entre 2002 e 2012. Os participantes foram consecutivamente avaliados para transtornos psiquiátricos considerando-se o DSM-IV, através de instrumentos diagnósticos padronizados. Informações colaterais foram obtidas usando-se as escalas de Barkley para sintomas de TDAH atuais e da infância. Nós comparamos os perfis demográficos e clínicos de pacientes adultos cujos informantes concordavam (n = 277) ou discordavam (n = 172) dos pacientes em relação à presença de sintomatologia na infância, e adultos sem TDAH (controles). Os pacientes com TDAH e controles não diferiram quanto à idade, anos de escolaridade, renda e sexo. Os grupos com TDAH diferiram dos controles com relação a repetência escolar, problemas com autoridade e disciplina, problemas com a lei e polícia, e tratamento farmacológico prévio. Comparados com os controles, os grupos com TDAH também apresentaram escores mais elevados de prejuízo e maiores taxas de prevalência de uso do tabaco, transtorno bipolar, transtorno de oposição e desafio, transtorno de conduta e dependência de substâncias não-alcoólicas. Poucas e pequenas diferenças entre os dois grupos com TDAH (suspensões escolares, problemas com autoridade e disciplina, e escores SNAP-IV) foram observadas. Nossos resultados não oferecem suporte para a ideia de que a informação colateral sobre a sintomatologia da infância é essencial para confirmar o diagnóstico de TDAH em adultos com uma síndrome clara auto relatada desse período, mas reafirmam a ideia de que o diagnóstico não deve ser descartado na ausência de um colateral que corrobore o relato do paciente. Contudo não podemos descartar a importância de informações de fontes externas ao próprio paciente em outras situações clínicas ou apresentações psicopatológicas.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and, according to the new DSM, the presence of various symptoms before 12 years of age is required. In addition, the DSM-5 also stimulates the clinician to look for collateral information to support the diagnostis, even for adults. The effort to obtain information from third parties would be justified if a robust evidence of its relevance could be demonstrated. This is a cross-sectional study of 449 adult patients with ADHD and 143 controls, that were interviewed between 2002 and 2012. Participants were consecutively evaluated for DSM-IV psychiatric disorders through standardized diagnostic instruments. Collateral information was obtained with Barkley’s scales for current and childhood ADHD symptoms. We compared the demographic and clinical profiles of adult patients whose informants agreed (n=277) or disagreed (n=172) from patients for the presence of symptoms in childhood, and adults without ADHD (controls). Patients with ADHD and controls did not differ in age, years of education, income and gender. Groups with ADHD differed from controls with respect to school failure, problems with authority and discipline, problems with the law and police, and prior psychopharmacological treatment. Compared with controls, the groups with ADHD also had higher scores of injury and higher prevalence rates of tobacco use, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder and non- alcoholic substance dependence. Few and small differences between the two groups with ADHD (school suspensions, problems with authority and discipline, and SNAP-IV scores) were observed. These results do not support the idea that collateral information about symptoms of childhood is essential to confirm the diagnosis of ADHD in adults with a clear self-reported syndrome in childhood, but reaffirm the idea that the diagnosis should not be dismissed in the absence of an informant to corroborate the patient's report. However, we can not rule out the importance of information from external sources for patients with different clinical situations or psychopathological presentations.

Abstract:

Syftet är att beskriva symtom och biverkningar som kvinnor med avancerad bröstcancer och cytostatikabehandling rapporterat i ett datoriserat rapporteringssystem före läkarbesök. Undersöka tillfredsställelsen med detta system; se om det finns en skillnad mellan äldre och yngre; undersöka kvinnornas uppfattning om vad som kan förbättras i uppföljningen av symtom/biverkningar samt stödet från läkare. Detta är en kvantitativ, deskriptiv tvärsnittsstudie baserat på rapporteringssystemets databas samt enkätundersökning.

 

Biverkningarna trötthet, smärta och nervpåverkan rapporterades mest frekvent. Tidsåtgången för rapportering ansågs utav de flesta vara kort eller mycket kort och formuläret upplevdes av majoriteten vara ganska lätt till mycket lätt att använda oberoende av datorvana. Läkaren ansågs från hög grad till mycket hög grad vara ett stöd i att hantera symtom och biverkningar av två tredjedelar av respondenterna. Hälften ansåg att rapporterade biverkningar och symtom uppmärksammades av läkaren i hög grad till mycket hög grad.

 

Undersökningen bekräftar det tidigare forskning visat om datoriserade rapporteringssystem i vården, att de är funktionella oavsett ålder samt att intresse finns för att använda dessa i större utsträckning. På grund av litet urval och relativt stort bortfall i enkätstudien kan dock inga direkta slutsatser dras men undersökningen antyder att behov finns att vidareutveckla rapporteringssystemet.


The aim of the study is to describe symptoms and side effects that women with advanced breast cancer and chemotherapy reported in an adverse drug reporting system before seeing their oncologist; examine the satisfaction with this system; if there are any differences between older and younger women; the women’s opinion of what improvements could be done in the follow-up of the symptoms/side effects and the support from the oncologist. This is a quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study based on the database of the adverse drug reporting system and the questionnaire survey.

 

The side effects fatigue, pain and peripheral neuropathy were most frequently reported. The time consumption for reporting was considered short or very short and the majority thought that the questionnaire was fairly easy to very easy to use independent of computer habits. The oncologists where considered from a high extent to a very high extent being a support in handling the symptoms/side effects by two thirds of the respondents. Two fourths felt that the oncologists attended reported symptoms/side effects from a high extent to a very high extent.

Because of a small sample and a relatively large drop-out no real conclusions can be drawn except the need for further development of the system.

Abstract:
Sepsis is the leading cause of death among critically ill patients and the 10th most common cause of death overall in the United States. The mortality rates increase with severity of the disease, ranging from 15% for sepsis to 60% for septic shock. Patient with sepsis can present varied clinical symptoms depending on the personal predisposition, causal microorganism, organ system involved, and disease severity. To facilitate sepsis diagnosis, the first sepsis consensus definitions was published in 1991 and then updated in 2001. Early recognition of a sepsis patient followed with timely and appropriate treatment and management strategies have been shown to significantly reduce sepsis-related mortality, and allows care to be provided at lower costs. Despite the rapid progress in the knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms of sepsis and its treatment in the last two decades, identifying patient with sepsis and therapeutic approaches to sepsis and its complications remains challenging to critical care clinicians. Hence, the objectives of this thesis were to 1) evaluate the test characteristics of the two sepsis consensus definitions and delineate the differences in patient profile among patients meeting or not meeting sepsis definitions; 2) determine the relationship between the changes in several physiological parameters before sepsis onset and sepsis, and to determine whether these parameters could be used to identify sepsis in critically ill adults; 3) evaluate the effect of corticosteroids therapy on patient mortality. Data used in this thesis were prospectively collected from an electronic medical record system for all the adult patients admitted into the seven critical care units (ICUs) in a tertiary medical center. Besides analyzing data at the ICU stay level, we investigated patient information in various time frames, including 24-hour, 12-hour, and 6-hour time windows. In the first study of this thesis, the 1991 sepsis definition was found to have a high sensitivity of 94.6%, but a low specificity of 61.0%. The 2001 sepsis definition had a slightly increased sensitivity but a decreased specificity, which was 96.9% and 58.3%, respectively. The areas under the ROC curve for the two consensus definitions were similar, but less than optimal. The sensitivity and area under the ROC curve of both definitions were lower at the 24-hour time window level than those of the unit stay level, though the specificity increased slightly. At the time window level, the 1991 definitions performed slightly better than the 2001 definition. In the second study, minimum systolic blood pressure performed the best, followed by maximum respiratory rate in discriminating sepsis patients from SIRS patients. Maximum heart rate and maximum respiratory rate can differentiate sepsis patients from non-SIRS patients fairly well. The area under ROC of the combination of five physiological parameters was 0.74 and 0.90 for comparing sepsis to non-infectious SIRS patients and comparing sepsis to non-SIRS patients, respectively. Parameters typically performed better in 24-hour windows compared to 6-hour or 12-hour windows. In the third study, significantly increased hospital mortality and ICU mortality were observed in the group treated with low-dose corticosteroids than the control group based on the propensity score matched comparisons, and multivariate logistic regression analyses after adjustment for propensity score alone, covariates, or propensity score (in deciles) and covariates. This thesis advances the existing knowledge by systemically evaluating the test characteristics for the 1991 and 2001 sepsis consensus definitions, delineating physiological signs and symptoms of deterioration in the preceding 24 hours prior to sepsis onset, assessing the prediction performances of single or combined physiological parameters, and examining the use of corticosteroids treatment and survival among septic shock patients. In addition, this thesis sets an innovative example on how to use data from electronic medical records as these surveillance systems are becoming increasingly popular. The results of these studies suggest that a more parsimonious set of definitional criteria for sepsis diagnosis are needed to improve sepsis case identification. In addition, continuously monitored physiological parameters could help to identify patients who show signs of deterioration prior to developing sepsis. Last but not least, caution should be used when considering a recommendation on the use of low dose corticosteroids in clinical practice guidelines for the management of sepsis.

Abstract:
This research has been undertaken to evaluate factors with an association with the practice of self-medication amongst respondents living within three cities within Kurdistan. The research was designed to be a cross-sectional one by arranging for data collection through the direct interviewing of respondents via the use of a questionnaire that had been prepared previously. In total, the investigation involved 627 pharmacist participants, 647 general participants, and 28 interviewees from various age groups. An explanatory design is a mixed methods approach with two phases, with quantitative data collection in the first phase, and qualitative data collection in a second; data collection was conducted using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The primary reason for self-medication practice was that participants with previous experience of attending to the same disease. The information source regarding self-medicated drugs were previous prescriptions, community pharmacies and friends. The most common indication for self-medication was the common cold or fever/headache/infection, the drugs used to treat these conditions being most commonly antibiotics, then painkillers and preparations for coughs. From the general public, a sample of 647 participants was taken that consisted of 38.4% females and 61.6% males, with participant ages ranging from 18-70 years. Within the study, 12.4% of the cohort had a degree level of education from a university. Moreover, 243 participants had the belief that it was an acceptable practice to purchase antibiotics without a prescription. Self-medication was practiced by 14/28 of the interviewees, and 28/28 (100%) of the interviewees held the belief that the pharmacy always has someone with knowledge of medicines, and who can advise and provide medication. There were 627 pharmacist participants, of which 28.1% were female and 71.9% were male, and 57.2% of them holding a Diploma in Health Institution, and 39.2% of them having a Bachelors Pharmacy degree. 20.7% of participants disagreed with keeping records for the dispensing of drugs, and approximately 20% of participants had little or no ideas regarding the characteristics of pharmacy practice that are considered professional. It was discovered that, if asked by the customer, advice was provided by 82.5% of community pharmacists. The sale of antibiotics was the most common, followed by pain-killers. A 95.5% proportion of pharmacists sold all of the medicines as OTC medicine without prescription. In conclusion, medicines are used by the people of Kurdistan in an inventive way, with suggestions provided by lay people and members of family or friends, which is acted upon without a qualified healthcare professional being consulted.

Abstract:

Whilst many studies consider labelling as means of aggregated communication of environmental product features, the presentation of detailed product information seems a promising alternative. However, the mechanisms through which detailed product information takes effect on consumers requires better understanding. This study empirically develops a framework that focuses on consumers’ perceived usefulness of, and trust in, detailed product information, whilst also considering the role of environmental self-identity. This understanding will help businesses to further stimulate eco-friendly consumption. Structural equation modelling and conditional process analysis are utilised to test hypotheses based on a sample of 279 respondents to a German online survey. Findings: Results show that the perceived usefulness of product information has a positive effect on purchase intention, and this effect is intensified by an individual’s environmental self-identity. Furthermore, for consumers with high environmental self-identity, the effect of perceived usefulness of product information on purchase intention is mediated in turn by trust in detailed product information and resistance to negative information. This study contributes to the debate on the role of product information in ethical consumption by showing how detailed product information gives rise to favourable behavioural outcomes. When detailed information is perceived as being useful, it can affect purchase intention through greater trust and an increased resistance to negative information. Further, detailed product information appears beneficial for both, the mass market and specific segments with high environmental self-identity. Hence, this study empirically establishes the effects of detailed product information on consumer decision-making, thus informing sustainability-related marketing theory and practice.

Abstract:
This study used narrative inquiry to answer the question “What are the stories of older adults who choose not to share information with health care professionals?” The study explored the experiences of older adults who did not share information with health care professionals (HCPs), who they defined as doctors. A thematic analysis of five participants’ stories revealed three themes: Illusions of Care, describing the participants’ experiences with doctors before they chose not to share information; The Last Straw, revealing the final incident that caused participants to choose not to share information; and The Mask of the Non-sharing Older Adult, describing how participants interacted with their doctors after they decided not to share information. Relationship development between older adults and their doctors, sensitive topics, issues and perceptions of ageing, and structure of the health care system contribute to the complex issue of older adults not sharing information. The decision not to share information with health care professionals may adversely affect the health and health care of older adults.

Objective To assess the quality, readability and coverage of website information about herbal remedies for menopausal symptoms. Study design A purposive sample of commercial and non-commercial websites was assessed for quality (DISCERN), readability (SMOG) and information coverage. Main outcome measures Non-parametric and parametric tests were used to explain the variability of these factors across types of websites and to assess associations between website quality and information coverage. Results 39 sites were assessed. Median quality and information coverage scores were 44/80 and 11/30 respectively. The median readability score was 18.7, similar to UK broadsheets. Commercial websites scored significantly lower on quality (p = 0.014), but there were no statistical differences for information coverage or readability. There was a significant positive correlation between information quality and coverage scores irrespective of website provider (r = 0.69, p < 0.001, n = 39). Conclusion Overall website quality and information coverage are poor and the required reading level high.

Hallucinations and delusions are common positive symptoms for patients with schizophrenia. According to the source monitoring framework, source monitoring refers to the process of judging the source of information. Patients with schizophrenia are impaired in source monitoring function. They tend to misattribute their internal cognitive operations to external events. The external misattribution bias is thought to be correlated with the positive symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions. Moreover, clinical observations suggest that hallucinations and delusions are often negative contents. However, few studies have explored the influence of emotional information in source monitoring. In the present study, we aimed to validate the relationship between positive symptoms and source monitoring. We then used an experimental approach to investigate how emotional information influences the source monitoring in schizophrenic patients with different severity of positive symptoms. Forty-eight patients with schizophrenia were divided into two groups of either high- (n = 23) or low- (n = 25) positive symptom severity based on Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) delusions scale and PANSS hallucinations scale. Emotional information was manipulated by using neutral, negative and positive words as experimental stimuli in source monitoring task. In the study phase of source monitoring task, half words were generated by participants and half by the experimenter. After an 8 to 10-minute delay, participants were asked whether the words were generated by themselves, experimenter or neither (i.e., new words). Result showed that, high-positive symptom group was more likely to misattribute self-generated words to experimenter-presented than low-positive symptom group (p &lt; .01). The difference of external misattribution bias between two groups was greater when showing negative information (p = .01). However, there was no significant difference when presenting neutral (p = .17) or positive (p = .28) words. The result suggested that negative information might increase the external misattribution bias for the high-positive symptom group. The association between external misattribution bias and the hallucination or delusion is validated. It also proves the emotional information processing difference in patients with low- and high- positive symptoms.

The issue of ageing is a global healthproblem. Taiwan will be a hyper-aged society in 2025. While the governmental policy and the development of the senior-oriented industry are considered, they are not only focused on the needs of population of long-term care, but also the needs of their caregivers including information need. The behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are presented among 90% of dementia patients and are the resources of biggest burden among the caregivers. Although the symptoms are divided into three categories: psychological, behavioral and affective, the symptoms of dementia patients are varied and very individually. Therefore, the coping strategies are varied and dynamic, not only one or two ways to use, during the process of caring a dementia patient. The caregivers need to re-arrange the new care strategies to manage the change of BPSD. This study based on the retrospective text from the researcher as he is also the dementia family caregiver. A qualitative case study is conducted to explore the characteristics of information needs of dementia family caregivers and the stages of their journey. The special information needs are analyzed to provide reference for the information platform for benefiting the dementia family caregivers.

Detailed geomorphological mapping is important for monitoring environmental phenomena, it is therefore crucial that the methods employed for mapping are accurate. The basis of remote sensing for geomorphological work is moving from the consideration of whether satellite data are accurate for landform mapping to how surfaces of interest can be defined from remote sensing data, since earlier approaches of mapping are deemed costly and tedious. The aim of this study is to assess the suitability of ASTER and SRTM DEMs, and satellite imagery in detailed geomorphological mapping. Field survey and aerial photo interpretation were used to prepare a reference geomorphological map for comparisons. A similar approach of demarcating landform boundaries from aerial photographs was implemented to segment the DEMs into landform classes. The software packages that were used for processing the satellite data to create detailed geomorphological maps are QGIS with GRASS and SAGA plugins, and ENVI. The resultant geomorphological units’ maps from the DEMs when compared with the reference geomorphological map, show that the automated classification technique has advantages in terms of its efficiency and reproducibility. Nevertheless, distinct limitations of the technique are apparent and the technique is not suitable for detailed geomorphological mapping in the proposed study area.

Abstract:
Master of Public Health - MPH
Introduction:Highest-risk malaria areas in South Africa share borders with Mozambique, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Ongoing migration between these neighbouring areas impacts on malaria control interventions. For example, 30% of the adult population in Bushbuckridge originate from Mozambique. Despite these dynamics, no studies were found which investigated knowledge,attitudes and behaviours towards malaria in Bushbuckridge. Methods:This study was undertaken as a descriptive cross-sectional survey. A field-piloted structured questionnaire was administered to 602 randomly selected households, where only one household member was interviewed. Interviewees were heads of households, but in their absence, responsible adults above 18 years were included.Results:Of 602 respondents, 93% (n=559, 95% CI: 90.4 – 94.7%) had heard about malaria, mainly from health facilities (29%, n=175) and radios (20%,n=119). Most respondents correctly associated malaria with mosquito bites. There were no differences in knowledge of the causes of malaria between males and females, whereas age and educational level influenced malaria knowledge.Younger and more educated respondents were more knowledgeable than their older and less educated counterparts. Despite 91% of respondents (n=546, 95% CI: 88.0 – 92.8%) knowing that malaria can kill if untreated; only 48% could identify one or two symptoms of malaria. Most (99%, n=595, 95% CI: 97.5 – 99.5%) of the respondents would seek treatment at health facilities,82% (n=488) of whom would do so within 24 hours of onset of malaria symptoms.Discussion and conclusion : Most respondents showed a fair amount of knowledge on the causes of malaria, but not enough people were able to correctly identify the key symptoms of malaria. Health facility and radio were the main sources of malaria information. Most respondents sought treatment at health care facilities, contrary to most African countries where treatment is first sought at non-public health facilities.Word count: 288

Abstract:
Este estudo examina a relação entre sintomatologia depressiva, produtividade (presentismo) e velocidade de processamento de informação na qualidade de vida de uma amostra de trabalhadores, testando um modelo de moderação mediada. Pretendemos testar se a produtividade (presentismo) influencia a relação entre os sintomas depressivos e a qualidade de vida, e se essa relação é influenciada por diferentes níveis de processamento de informação. Os trabalhadores portugueses que participaram no nosso estudo (n =231) preencheram três instrumentos auto-reportados e um teste neuropsicológico. A técnica de bootstrapping foi usada para examinar o efeito indirecto dos sintomas depressivos na qualidade de vida através da produtividade, e para examinar o papel moderador do processamento de informação na associação entre a sintomatologia depressiva e a produtividade. Os resultados revelam um efeito indirecto significativo e uma moderação significativa, sendo a associação entre os sintomas depressivos e a produtividade apenas moderada pelo processamento de informação nos seus níveis médios e elevados. Contudo, o modelo de moderação mediada não obteve resultados estatisticamente significativos. Os resultados sugerem que indivíduos com níveis mais elevados de processamento de informação podem ter maiores dificuldades em concentrar-se no trabalho sem se distraírem com problemas de saúde, bem como apresentar níveis inferiores de qualidade de vida. Estes resultados possibilitam contribuições importantes para a literatura existente acerca do funcionamento cognitivo e da produtividade em trabalhadores com sintomas depressivos, e os seus efeitos na qualidade de vida. Esperamos que contribuam para o desenvolvimento de intervenções organizacionais focalizadas nas necessidades específicas de indivíduos com diferentes requisitos cognitivos.
This study examines the relationship betwen depressive symptomatology, productivity despite sickness presence and information processing speed in quality of life, testing a moderated mediation model. Therefore, we intend to test if productivity despite sickness presence influences the relationship between depressive symptoms and quality of life and also if this relation is conditional upon levels of information processing speed. Portuguese workers that participated in our study (n = 231) completed three self-reported measures and a neuropsychological test. A regression-based bootstrapping approach was used to examine the indirect effect of depressive symptoms in quality of life through productivity despite sickness presence and the moderating role of processing speed in the association between depressive symptomatology and productivity despite sickness presence. Results revealed a significant indirect effect and a significant moderation effect, with the association between depressive symptoms and productivity despite sickness presence moderated by information processing speed only in their medium and high levels. However, results of the moderated mediation model were not statistically significant. Our findings suggest that individuals with higher levels of processing speed may have more difficulty to focus on work without being distracted by health problems, and also present lower levels of quality of life. The present investigation made a significant contribution to the existing literature about cognitive function and productivity in workers with depressive symptomatology, and their effects on quality of life. We hope these results are investigated by additional studies, and contribute to the development of organizational interventions which target the specific needs of patients with different cognitive requirements.

Vem har nytta av en siffra?– En fallstudie av ett förbättringsarbete med syfte att förbättra och kvalitetssäkra smärtbehandling för palliativa patienter i regionsansluten specialiserad hemsjukvård.   Bakgrund: Palliativ vård, vård i livets slut, ändrar fokus från bot till lindring. Det viktigaste målet för palliativ vård är symtomlindring och smärta är det symtom som har störst betydelse för livskvalitet. Numeric Rating Symptom Scale, NRS, har visat sig underlätta utvärdering och kvalitetssäkring av smärtbehandling.   Syfte: Förbättringsarbetets mål var att förbättra smärtbehandlingen för inskrivna patienter. Studiens syfte har varit att hitta motiverande faktorer samt undersöka medarbetarnas upplevelse av förbättringsarbetet.   Metod: Nolans modell för förbättring och PDSA-hjul enligt Deming, fiskbensdiagram och 5p-kartläggning av mikrosystemet har använts i förbättringsprojektet. Både kvalitativa och kvantitativa data har inhämtats till studien av förbättringsarbetet. Intervjuer har utförts och analyserats med innehållsanalys.   Resultat: NRS fanns dokumenterat för utvärdering av smärtbehandling i 15 % av patientbesöken och enhetens medelvärde för NRS per vecka var 4 eller lägre. Studien visar att medarbetarna har kunskap om hur NRS ska användas och mäta men att förståelse för varför och för vem skull detta är viktigt saknas.   Slutsats:Deltagande i detta förbättringsarbete har ökat kunskapen bland medarbetarna. Diskussioner visar på ett skifte från individ till system och en förflyttning av fokus mot patientens behov och involvering samt förståelse för målet med vård utförd av arbetsplatsen.

The purpose of the study was to find motivating factors and to find how employees ‘experiences the improvement initiative.    Method: Nolan´s model of improvement with PDSA cycles from Deming, Ishikawa diagram and description of micro system 5p wereused for the improvement project. The study was based on a qualitative and quantitative data collections. The interviews were analysed by content analysis.    Results:NRS are used in 15 % of evaluation of pain management and the average NRS where 4 or less. Data from the study shows knowledge among employees´about how to use NRS and what NRS is made to display but lack knowlegde of why and for whom.   Conclusions: This project created common learning through participation in the improvement project.
