Resumen
La Home Automation è un ambito nella quale, l’IoT ha le potenzialità di fornire strumenti capaci di garantire nuove funzionalità, non ottenibili mediante l’approccio ad una visione più limitata da fattori economici ed ecosistemi proprietari. L’avvento dell'IoT e di dispositivi intelligenti, connessi ad internet, ha portato però un problema: come integrare tutti questi dispositivi, all’interno di un’ambiente domestico, permettendo il loro utilizzo simultaneo ed interconnesso? Sotto questo aspetto, Apple e Google hanno sviluppato sistemi, nati con questo obbiettivo, ma infine ristretti per motivi economici e di marchio, obbligando eventuali produttori esterni con il desiderio di sviluppare prodotti da integrare nel loro ecosistema, a rispettare determinati vincoli progettuali, aumentandone costi e diminuendone portabilità ed usabilità. Diversamente dalle aziende sopra citate, Samsung ed Home Assistant, hanno adottato un approccio del tutto contrario: adottando una tecnologia Open source viene messo a disposizione del produttore esterno di dispositivi IoT, l’intero apparato dell’ecosistema nel quale integrarsi, consentendo una maggior fruibilità del sistema con minori costi d’acquisto, maggiore semplicità e supporto a numerosi protocolli e tecnologie differenti. In questo contesto, si ambienta il caso di studio della tesi: Home Assistant, pensato e realizzato con lo scopo di integrare, con il minor costo possibile, il maggior numero di dispositivi e servizi esterni, forniti da produttori differenti, utilizzando altrettanti protocolli e tecnologie di comunicazione, fornendo l’apertura software e hardware di cui l’Home Automation è purtroppo carente.

Resumen
Introduction: Overall meal satisfaction and sensory properties of the food have been seen to impact the nutritional status in older adults living in residential care homes. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on home-dwelling older adults’ perceptions and satisfaction of home delivered meals. Objective: The purpose was to examine home-dwelling older adults’ sensory perceptions and satisfaction of home-delivered meals from the assistant nurses’ perspective. Method: The present study was the quantitative follow-up phase of a mixed method study with an exploratory sequential design. Data was collected through an online survey regarding assistant nurses’ (N=74) experiences of their care recipients satisfaction and perceptions of appearance, odor, flavor and texture of the meals. Result: The nurses reported that most care recipients appreciate the sensory properties of the meals. However, the perceptions of texture and flavor varied considerably as the texture of vegetables were perceived as either hard or soft, and the meat was perceived as either chewy or easy to chew. Moreover, the flavor of the meals were perceived as either tasty or tasteless. Sensory properties were important for the care recipients’ meal experience, and odor (OR= 6.15, p= 0,03,) and flavor (OR= 5.71, p= 0,05) were significant predictors for meal satisfaction. However, satisfaction could not be correlated to type of delivery system. Conclusion: Chewing difficulties and deteriorating smell and taste senses could be a reason for the great variation of the reported perceptions of texture and flavor. To increase older adults’ acceptability, more focus on choice of products and cooking techniques might be a way to improve the texture and flavor of the meals. Furthermore, due to selection bias the result cannot be generalized.
Introduktion: Nöjdhet och måltidens sensoriska egenskaper påverkar äldres nutritionsstatus i särskilt boende. Det finns dock brist på studier om hemmaboende äldres sensoriska uppfattningar och acceptans. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hemmaboende äldres sensoriska perceptioner och acceptans av hemlevererade måltider från undersköterskornas perspektiv. Metod: Studien är den andra uppföljande fasen av en mixed method studie med en exploratory sequential design. Kvantitativ data samlades in genom en online enkät med både slutna och öppna frågor om undersköterskors (N=74) erfarenhet av vårdtagarnas nöjdhet samt upplevelser av måltidernas smak, doft, utseende och textur. Resultat: Undersköterskorna rapporterade att de flesta vårdtagarna uppskattar de sensoriska egenskaperna av måltiderna men att upplevelsen av textur och smak varierade betydligt. Texturen på grönsakerna upplevdes antingen som hårda eller mjuka och texturen på köttet upplevdes antingen som segt eller lättuggat. Smaken på måltiderna upplevdes också antingen som god eller inte god. Vidare var sensorisk kvalitet viktig för vårdtagarnas måltidsupplevelse, och doft (OR= 6.15, p= 0,03,) och smak (OR= 5.71, p= 0,05) var signifikanta prediktorer för måltidsnöjdhet, däremot kunde inte nöjdhet korreleras till typ av leveranssystem. Slutsatser: Tuggsvårigheter och försämrade lukt och smaksinnen skulle kunna vara en anledning till den rapporterade variationen i upplevelsen av textur och smak. Mer fokus på råvaror och tillagningsmetoder skulle kunna vara ett sätt förbättra texturen och smaken. Till följd av selektionsbias är inte resultatet generaliserbart.

Resumen
Titel: Attraktivt arbete inom äldreomsorgen - Vad kännetecknar en attraktiv arbetsplats för undersköterskor och vårdbiträden? Bakgrund och problematisering: Inom de närmaste åren kommer fler människor vara i behov av omvårdnadsinsatser. Detta på grund av att människan lever längre och därmed också har flera sjukdomsbilder och är i behov av en mer omfattande omvårdnad. Likväl som det finns behov av att rekrytera för att ersätta en stor pensionsvåg de närmaste åren, räknat till år 2026. Det finns en utmaning i att både behålla och attrahera nya medarbetare till äldreomsorgen, då yrket är kopplat till hårda arbetsförhållanden och låga löner. Vad som får medarbetarna att stanna inom yrket är att de ser det meningsfulla i arbetet med att hjälpa andra människor och är engagerade i sitt arbete. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kännetecknar en attraktiv arbetsplats, för undersköterskor och vårdbiträden inom äldreomsorgen för att förklara och tills del kunna få förståelse hur de kan attraheras till samt behållas inom omvårdnadsyrket. Teoretisk referensram: Studien har inspirerats av modellen för attraktivt arbete. Modellen baseras på faktorer som anses av vikt för en attraktiv arbetsplats. Då modellen i grunden är omfattande har författarna till denna studie valt ut lämpliga delar som lämpar sig till att studera attraktiva faktorer inom äldreomsorgen. Tidigare forskning: Studien tar upp tidigare forskning som berör äldreomsorgens historia, olika synsätt, dess utmaningar och styrkor. Fokus för tidigare forskning berör undersköterskor och vårdbiträdens roll samt förutsättningar och vad som är bra och kan förbättras för att skapa en attraktiv arbetsplats som både kan behålla och attrahera nya medarbetare. Metod: Till studien har en kvantitativ metod använts, som har inspirerats av två andra studier som även de berör faktorer för en attraktiv arbetsplats och dess modell. Resultat och slutsatser: Studiens resultat visar på att relationer till kollegor och brukare värderas högt och gör att medarbetarna trivs på sin arbetsplats. Personalen känner engagemang i arbetet, samtidigt som det uppkommer känslor av otillräcklighet och stress. Studien visar på attraktiva faktorer som anses värdefulla. Faktorer som kan få medarbetare att stanna kvar i äldreomsorgen är; att det erbjuds större delaktighet i beslut, ett schema som medarbetaren känner sig bekväm med och högre lön. Det är också viktigt att känna en yrkesstolthet och att samhällets syn på att det är ett lågstatusyrke förändras och att det visas hur betydelsefulla och komplexa arbetsuppgifter som undersköterskor och vårdbiträden utför.
Title: Attractive work within elderly care – What characterizes an attractive workplace for assistant nurses and care assistants? Background and problematisation: Within a few years more elderly will be in need of some type of nursing care. This due to that mankind lives longer and have multiple diagnoses renders the need of more qualified nursing care. There is also a need to recruit new employees due to the large number of retirements coming up to the year 2026. There is a challenge in retaining and attract new employees to the elderly care though the profession has tough working conditions and low salaries. What makes employees stay in the profession is that they see the meaningfulness in helping other people and that they are well invested in their work. Purpose: The purpose with this study is to explain and to some extent grasp what characterize an attractive workplace for assistant nurses and care assistants within the elderly care to get an understanding how they can be attracted and retained in the elderly care profession. Theoretical reference frame: This study has been inspired by the model for attractive work. The model is based on factors that constitutes an attractive workplace. Due to the extensiveness of the mode, this study has chosen applicable factors to use within the elderly care system. Previous research: This study shows previous research that touches on the history, different approaches, challenges and strengths. Focus in on assistant nurses and care assistant's role and prerequisites. The study also looks at what perceives as good and what can be changed to the better to create an attractive workplace that can retain and recruit new employees. Method: This study has been inspired to use a quantitative method due to two other studies that used the model attractive work. Results and conclusions: The results show that the relationship between work colleges and caretakers are ranked high and is the cause to that employees thrive at the workplace. The employees feel commitment to the work but at the same time have emotions of insufficiency and stress. The study points to factors considered valuable for an attractive workplace. The factors could potentially make employees retain in elderly care if they are offered - greater participation in decisions, a work schedule that the employee fells comfortable with and higher salaries. It is also important to feel a professional pride and that the public view of a low status work is changed so they understand the importance and the complexity of the task that assistant nurses and care assistants within the elderly care performs

Resumen
Over the last decade, long-term care facilities have transitioned from institutional care models that focus on person-centered care, in which the resident is the center of the care. The purpose of this study is to explore the nurse and certified nursing assistant perception of the person-centered care services they deliver. Jean Watson's theory of human caring is the theoretical framework that guided this study. The theory focusing on the human caring experiences and person-centered care is being characterized as a caring feeling. The carative factors of Watson's theory, the fundamental concept of caring, has been associated with improved outcomes for the resident and the caregiver. Using a phenomenology research design, 3 focus groups of 15 nurses and 10 certified nursing assistants (CNA), working in a long-term care facility, were asked questions to describe their perception of person-centered care. The responses from the 25 participants were stored and organized using Nvivo. The thematic analysis revealed that the nurses and CNAs perceived person-centered care to include the caring and compassionate approach taken when care is being delivered. The participants also shared that person-centered care included involving the resident in decision making through communicating openly and developing relationships. The discussions revealed that 8 carative factors influenced their understanding, with the main factor being the creative problem-solving method for decision making. The �ndings from this study have the potential to impact positive social change at the organizational level, influencing the delivery of care within long-term care settings.

Resumen
Internet Of Things (IoT) och hemautomation innebär möjligheten att koppla upp diverse enheter i ett hem gentemot internet, som därefter har som mål att underlätta och göra konsumenters vardag mer bekvämt. Hemautomation kan exempelvis handla om att låsa dörrar och tända lampor från en enda enhet (kontrollern), vilket underlättar då konsumenten inte behöver gå till vardera enhet för att utföra önskade aktiviteter. Kontrollers är den del av ett IoT-system inom hemautomation som agerar gränssnittet mellan konsumenten och enheterna.Open-source erbjuder konsumenter ett mer fritt nyttjande av produkter pga. dess öppna källkod. Många problem och frågor som uppstår i samband med dessa produkter härstammar inom området av säkerhet, samt vad som skiljer produkterna åt avseende säkerhet.Denna studie har samlat ihop sex open-source kontrollers och genomfört en jämförelse för att identifiera vilka kontrollers som uppnår säkerhet avseende konfidentialitet, integritet och tillgänglighet. Detta har utförts genom att identifiera vilka värden som förekommer i tidigare artiklar där säkerheten utvärderas för IoT och hemautomation, och för kontrollers.Studien kopplar ihop identifierade värden med CIA modellen, vilket står för confidentiality, integrity och availability (konfidentialitet, integritet och tillgänglighet). I samband med CIA modellen presenteras ett resultat där studiens aktuella kontrollers visar till vilken nivå de upprätthåller CIA modellen, baserat på det identifierade värden som fastställts. De kontrollers som förekommer i studien är Home Genie, OpenHAB, Home Assistant, Domoticz, Calaos och Pimatic.Studiens resultat erhålls via en litterär undersökning av 25 tidigare studier samt 12st tillkommande tekniska dokumentationer och forum för samtliga tillhörande kontrollers. Samtliga studier har blivit hämtade från databaserna Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore och ACM Digital Library och har därefter blivit analyserade och tematiskt kodade för vidare information. Totalt har studiens material genomgått urval i fem steg för att garantera relevant material som stämmer överens med studiens kriterier och mål för innehåll. Studiens resultat presenterar en ögonblicksbild som ger kunskap om jämförda kontrollers, specifikt i samband med CIA modellen, vilket belyser produkterna i samband för området av säkerhet avseende konfidentialitet, integritet och tillgänglighet.
Internet of Things (IoT) and home automation means the opportunity to connect various devices in a home to the Internet, which has the goal of facilitating and making consumers’ everyday lives more comfortable. For example, home automation could be about locking doors and lighting lamps from a single device (the controller), which may make it easier for the consumer since the consumer does not have to go to each device to perform the desired activity. Controllers are the part of a home automation IoT-system that acts as an interface between the consumer and the devices.Open-source offers consumers a freer use of products, due to its open-source code. Many problems and issues that arise in connection with these products originate in the field of security, as well as what distinguishes the products in terms of security.This study has collected six open-source controllers and conducted a comparison to identify which controllers achieve security regarding confidentiality, integrity and availability. This has been done by identifying the values that appear in previous articles where security is evaluated for IoT and home automation, and controllers.This study links identified values with the CIA model, which stands for confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In accordance with the CIA model, a result is presented where the study’s current controllers show to what level they maintain the CIA model, based on the identifies values established. The controllers that appears in this study are Home Genie, OpenHAB, Home Assistant, Domoticz, Calaos, and Pimatic.This study’s results are obtained through a literary study of 25 studies, and 12 additional technical documentations and information through forums for all the associated controllers. All studies have been retrieved from the Google Scholar database, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library, and subsequently analyzed and thematically coded for further information. In total, the material of this study has been selected in five steps to ensure relevant material that meets this study’s criteria and objectives for content. This study’s results present an overview that provides knowledge about compared controllers, specifically in connection with the CIA model which highlights the products in the field of security, regarding confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Resumen
Doctor of Philosophy
Aim and significance: The aim of this research was to explore the phenomenon of Australian nursing home care from the perspective of those who provide and receive it. Its focus is on the processes of ‘quality care’ provision and the meanings and evaluations that care providers attach to their work. In other words, its purpose was to shed light on the practices based on a conceptualisation of care that is entwined with the mechanisms of ‘care’ production and identity creation, or what actually happens in the daily life of the complex social phenomenon that is a nursing home. A related aim was to add to understandings of clinical nursing competence and develop tools that will assist nurses to conceptualise and implement positive change in this setting. Background: The provision of care to our elderly has become a major concern with the ageing of the world population. This is occurring in the context of decline in the capacity of families to take on the responsibility of elder care, and of increasing commercialisation of medical care. Governments have responded by shifting their responsibilities from direct care provision to become auditors of the business of care provision that is supported by public funding. However poor care delivery has largely been hidden from the public gaze. Governments present themselves as having systems in place, creating the illusion of rational control; in reality, like the market economy, there is a ‘black box’ of unknown factors driven by human impulse. The aim of this study was to open up the black box of ‘quality care’ to direct observation, drawing insights from the literature on organisational culture and with a focus on the frontline worker and the construct of quality assurance. Specific research objectives were to: • Document the beliefs and attitudes of care providers towards elderly people in general and the needs of nursing home residents in particular • Elicit the range of meanings and evaluations that care providers attach to their work • Describe their constructions of ‘care’ and ‘quality of care’ and the organisational factors they believe to impact (positively and negatively) on their ability to provide it. • Through in-depth understanding of a particular setting, generate grounded theoretical insights into the phenomenon of quality of residential care that are more widely applicable Method: The study adopted a paradigmatic bricoleur approach, seeking to develop connections between a diverse range of methodologies. These included combinative ethnography, phenomenology, hermeneutics and traditional grounded theory. Conceptual insights were drawn from organisational studies, psychosocial nursing and coping theory. The research site was an Australian for-profit suburban nursing home. The student investigator conducted more than 500 hours of participant observation, recording extensive field notes which were analysed through the perspective of a hermeneutic middle way horizon that directed an augmented constant comparison traditional grounded theory approach. Additional data were collected through formal indepth interviews with six key stakeholders. Interviews were tape recorded, transcribed in full and analysed to reveal themes that were brought within a hermeneutic circle that spiralled recursively from the whole to the part and back to the whole. Findings: Eight key interrelated factors in the production of care within the nursing home were identified: internal and external accountability (the accreditation system); economic considerations; management and training; advocacy; characteristic of residents; care providers’ working conditions and environmental stressors; organisational culture; and the work/care styles of individual care providers. I have categorised the latter into two main types: ‘tortoises’ and ‘hares’. This typology is then used to generate a process-driven schematic diagram that tracks a hypothetical novice care provider through the process of learning how to produce ‘care’. Specifically, I found that nursing home ‘care’ is the outcome of a complex social process involving the interplay between resident, relative, care provider, proprietor, quality assessors and government within the phenomenon of the nursing home. Such care, indeed the phenomenon of the nursing home itself, is not a stable, controllable entity but is in a constant state of flux – what I refer to as a moral ecology. In their everyday practice, care providers devise a construction of ‘quality care’ that is more clearly grounded in their own worldviews and the development of the own identity than in the formal quality assurance system of standards, guidelines and evaluations. Conclusion: Understanding the ‘black box’ of processes that produce care is the key to identifying courses of action that will improve care outcomes. The study findings also question the validity, assumptions and significance of the accreditation system, which only identifies some of the component variables, disregarding both the complexity within the ‘black box’ and failing to acknowledge that the quality of care outcomes is overwhelmingly dependent on individual care providers.

Att välja vilken eller vilka röststyrningstjänster man som företag vill stödja kan i dagens läge vara ett svårt val att göra. Det kan även var så att man inte har resurser att göra två olika implementationer. I den här undersökningen tittar vi på om det finns ett bra sätt att göra en implementation som kan hantera fler än en röststyrningstjänst. Tjänsterna vi har fokuserat på i undersökningen är Amazon Alexa och Google Assistant.

Resumen
The study was conducted among 100 assistant nurses working in six different residential home. The main purpose of the study was to increase awareness of the psychosocial work environment of assistant nurses in retirement home. In order to fulfill my purpose, I have chosen to use three questions: Have the period of employment in the workplace any impact on how the assistant nurses experience the psychosocial work environment? In the future it will become a lack of staff in elderly care. How do those working in elderly care today feel about the future? How important are the manager and colleagues for how assistant nurses are experiencing the psychosocial work environment? In order to answer the questions a quantitative method and a questionnaire has been used. The results were analyzed using SPSS and presented in the form of frequency tables, cross tabulations, chi square test and the sperman rho test. The results showed that the period of employment did not had an impact on the staffs´ experience of the psychosocial work environment. But what proved to be important was whether they felt their work as stressful. Where those who have worked between 3-10 years felt that the duties were more stressful than those with a shorter or longer period of employment.

Resumen
Research within the subject of leadership has grown over the past 60 years with the common aim of finding certain styles of leadership which will lead to productive work teams and an effective organization. Research about leadership in a nursing home setting is limited and tends to highlight leadership from the leader’s perspective, eliminating staff's, in this case nurses', view on the topic. Simultaneously, the nurse turnover has reached an all-time high pointing to dysfunctional leadership or a lack thereof as an important contributing factor. The aim of this study is to high point nurses’ views on leadership, particularly its role in making well-functioning teams to lower the turnover and provide a better ground for an effective organization. The goal is to find styles of leadership that create work satisfaction, pride and motivation within teams. The study focuses on different ways in which a leader can contribute to these factors. After performing five qualitative interviews with nurses from two nursing homes in a small town in southern Sweden the results show that there is not one leadership style that does best in reaching the above factors. What determines the most suited style of leadership is the current situation and maturity of the team, where different situations and levels of maturity demand different things from the leader. The conclusion is that a leader must be flexible enough to adapt one’s leadership style to meet the needs of the organization and its employees. Furthermore, the results show that autonomy, good relations and shared goals within the team are important motivational factors. There is a lack of research focusing on the practical approaches to a flexible leadership, which is why further research within the field would be beneficial. Likewise, more extensive research on leadership in nursing homes is desired. This study may contribute to a better understanding of nurses’ views on leadership in a nursing home setting, providing important insights to social workers working or wanting to work within this setting.

Resumen
The aim of this work was to create a module for home automation tools Home Assistant. The module is able to determine  which room is inhabited and estimate more accurate position of people inside the room. Known GPS location cannot be used for this purpose because it is inaccurate inside buildings and therefore one of the indoor location techniques needs to be used. Solution based on Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology was chosen. The localization technique is the fingerprinting method, which is based on estimating the position according to the signal strength at any point in space, which are compared with a database of these points using machine learning. The system can be supplemented with motion sensors that ensure a quick response when entering the room. This system can be deployed within a house, apartment or small to medium-sized company to determine the position of people in the building and can serve as a very powerful element of home automation.

Resumen
The smarter homes of tomorrow promise to increase comfort, aid elderly and disabled people, and help inhabitants save energy. Unfortunately, smart homes today are far from this vision – people who already live in such a home struggle with complicated user interfaces, inflexible home configurations, and difficult installation procedures. Under these circumstances, smart homes are not ready for mass adoption. This dissertation addresses these issues by proposing two smart assistants for smart homes. The first assistant is a recommender system that suggests useful services (i.e actions that the home can perform for the user). The recommended services are fitted to the user’s current situation, habits, and preferences. With these recommendations it is possible to build much simpler user interfaces that highlight the most interesting choices currently available. Configuration becomes much more flexible: since the recommender system automatically learns user habits, user routines no longer have to be manually described. Evaluations with two smart home datasets show that the correct service is included in the top five recommendations in 90% of all cases. The second assistant addresses the difficult installation procedures. The unique feature of this assistant is that it removes the need for manually describing device functionalities (such descriptions are needed by the recommender system). Instead, users can simply plug in a new device, begin using it, and let the installation assistant identify what the device is doing. The installation assistant has minimal requirements for manufacturers of smart home devices and was successfully integrated with an existing smart home. Evaluations performed with this smart home show that the assistant can quickly and reliably learn device functionalities.

Resumen
Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur upplevelsen gällande dokumentation bland personal inom hemvården ser ut. Detta gjordes genom en kvalitativ studie med sex slumpmässigt utvalda ur personalen på tre arbetsplatser inom en medelstor stad i Sverige. Den huvudsakliga faktorn som formar upplevelsen gällande dokumentationen bland personal tenderer att vara hur arbetstiden är fördelad, då ingen specifik tid till detta finns utsatt i deras schema. Detta verkar vara ett stressmoment bland personalen. Vikten av kunskap, både gällande möjligheten till att använda de redskap som finns tillgängliga inom arbetsplatsen samt tillräckliga språkkunskaper för att ordentligt kunna dokumentera har även nämnts som viktiga faktorer. Tillgängligheten av verktyg, främst datorer visade sig ha en stor inverkan på personalens upplevelser gällande tiden. En annan faktor som pekades ut var arbetsklimatet, som var påverkat av det stöd som erbjöds från personalgrupp och enhetschef vid problem gällande dokumentationen. Den sista större faktorn gällande upplevelsen av dokumentationen visade sig vara att den ger en trygghet, något som skyddar både personal och brukare. För att vidare belysa resultaten av denna studie, användes två teorier, KASAM (Känsla av sammanhang) och systemteorin.
The purpose of this study is to shed some light regarding the experiences among personnel within home care services about documentation as a work activity. This is done by a quality study with six randomly selected personnel for an interview from three workplaces within a medium sized city in Sweden. The result of this study shows a pattern among the participants in certain areas. The primary factor that shapes the experience regarding documentation among personnel tend to be how the working time is distributed, since no specific time set aside for documentation only in the schedule. This tends to be a stress factor amongst the personnel. The importance of knowledge, both regarding the ability to use the tools available within the workplace and the language skill needed to properly document has been mentioned as important factors. The accessibility of tools, primary computers has a major impact on the experience of time amongst the personnel. Another factor that was pointed out was the working climate, which was affected by the support offered by both other personnel and head of unit should problems regarding documentation arise. And lastly a major factor regarding the experience about documentation turned out to be the safety it gives regarding the rule of law, which protected both the personnel and patients. To further shed light regarding the results of this study, two theories were applied, “sense of coherence” and systems theory.

Resumen
About a third of the food produced for humans goes to waste without being consumed. More knowledge about how to reduce food waste is one key to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases in this sector. There are multiple approaches in striving towards this goal, one being an implementation of a notification system in everyday communication tools, such as voice assistants. This study provides a first insight into the factors that influence the usability of a voice assisted system in order to reduce food waste. The aim of this study was to answer the question “To what degree can a voice assistant help households keep track of available food and reduce food waste?”. Ten participants took part in this study examining the use of a Google Home-device in order to reduce food waste. In a pre-trial interview the participants current attitude towards food waste and their efforts to reduce it was investigated.. The participants were then randomly divided into three groups; 1) analog group, 2) Google Home coupled to calendar 3) Google Home coupled to calendar in addition to labeling food. During a two week testing period the participants were instructed to log their available food and an expected consumption date. In a follow up interview the experienced effects and perception of the viability of the system and its strengths and limitations was investigated. The results from the testing phase show a positive improvement in awareness and usage of leftover food for all groups. Both groups using Google Home reported average improvement scores similar to each other. However the labeling group used the system almost twice as much as the group that exclusively used a Google Home. The results imply that using a voice assisted logging system to track food may be a viable option to reduce food waste in households. Several issues that limit the potential of Google Home were discovered during the test and further development would likely improve usability of the system.
Cirka en tredjedel av alla livsmedel som produceras för mänsklig konsumtion går till spillo. Mer kunskap om hur matavfall kan reduceras är en av nyckelfaktorerna för att minska de globala utsläppen inom denna sektor. Det finns flera tillvägagångssätt i strävan mot detta mål, ett av dessa är genom implementering av ett aviseringssystem i vardagliga kommunikationsverktyg, till exempel röstassistenter. Denna studie ger en första inblick i de faktorer som påverkar användbarheten hos ett röstassisterat system för att minska matsvinnet. Målet med denna studie var att svara på frågan “Till vilken grad kan en röstassistent hjälpa hushåll att hålla koll på tillgängliga livsmedel och minska matsvinn?” Tio personer deltog i denna experimentella studie som undersökte tillämpningen av Google Home för att minska matsvinn. I en för-intervju granskades deltagarnas attityd rörande matsvinn och deras nuvarande försök att minska det. Deltagarna delades slumpmässigt upp i tre grupper; 1) analog grupp, 2) Google Home kopplat till en kalender, 3) Google Home kopplat till en kalender samt märkning av mat. Under en testperiod på två veckor instruerades deltagarna att logga sina livsmedel samt förväntat konsumtionsdatum. I en uppföljningsintervju undersöktes upplevda effekter samt styrkor och svagheter hos systemen. Resultaten från testfasen visar en förbättring av medvetenhet och användning av matrester för alla grupper. Båda grupperna som använde Google Home rapporterade en likartad genomsnittlig förbättring. Gruppen som även skulle märka sin mat hade dock en nästan dubbelt så stor användning som gruppen som enbart använde Google Home. Resultaten tyder på att ett röstassisterat loggningssystem för att spåra tillgängliga livsmedel kan vara en möjlig lösning för att minska matsvinn hos hushåll. Ett flertal problem som begränsar potentialen hos Google Home upptäcktes under testfasen och en vidareutveckling skulle sannolikt förbättra systemets användbarhet.

Resumen
Home Digital Voice Assistants (HDVA) are devices that are performing tasks based on voice commands. A normal user can use these devices to perform daily tasks like sending an email, play a song or check for an event online, just to name a few. These systems got very popular in recent years due to their ease of use and the evolution of their technology that is now handling many commands and is able to perform complex tasks. HDVA devices are also nowadays used in some critical cases like for door opening and in some healthcare services. On the other hand, software testing is an important verification and validation activity used to reveal software faults in systems that include a software part. This activity is used to make sure that the expected behavior of the system matches the actual software execution. This activity results in the creation of test cases that are run as scripts in an automatic way.  Because of the fact that HDVA devices are used nowadays in some critical use cases, it is of utmost importance that these devices are thoroughly tested to make sure that they are behaving in the correct way. In this thesis, we first investigated the current automation testing frameworks for HDVA devices that exist in the market by doing a multivocal literature review. This is an important step to do in order to discover what are the existing frameworks in the market and therefore decide on the most appropriate research that can be carried out on these. We have, after doing the multivocal literature review and listing the available automation testing tools for HDVA devices, evaluated one tool selected from this review and assessed its usefulness and applicability for professionals and researchers in terms of ease of use and resources it uses during test execution. During the evaluation, we focused on automation testing tools for the Amazon Echo device because of its popularity on the market and the great amount of resources that are available online on this device and we focused on system testing. After doing the multivocal literature review, we found that the Botium framework is the only framework available to use to test the Amazon Echo device on a system level. We took the Botium framework as the framework to be evaluated and we performed an evaluation on it from a test automation capability perspective. The evaluation was done on a virtual machine which was set up locally with the VMware software. The evaluation showed a slow test execution capability of the Botium tool. More studies are needed on testing the other popular HDVA devices and on the lower testing levels.

Texto completo
Resumen
This project evaluates the effectiveness and impact of a feeding assistance programme ‘Making Meal Times Better for those with a Dementia’ (MMB) supported by five sixty minute health professional led support forums as compared to a three hour MMB standalone version and control conditions for health care assistants (HCAs) working with residents with a dementia and oral feeding difficulties. Outcomes were evaluated for 90 participating health care assistants and 451 observed meal times across three nursing homes. Measures of staff knowledge, competency, attitudes and daily care practices were measured using self completion questionnaires alongside observations of the quality of and adequacy of mealtime feeding assistance pre- and five months post intervention, using purposive sampling. HCAs who participated in support forums maintained significantly better knowledge and competency scores five months following training compared to those who received the stand-alone three hour MMB training programme and control conditions. Observations of mealtimes revealed that the nursing home exposed to greatest duration of training demonstrated most improvement in the provision of quality feeding assistance: actively identifying and providing targeted feeding assistance to those residents deemed at risk of malnutrition and relocating more residents into the communal dining room. Beneficial changes were accompanied by a significant reduction in social stimulation. Control conditions demonstrated several changes in feeding behaviours which may be attributed to attempts to increase oral intake without sufficient training. Training increased the food consumption of those residents at risk of malnutrition but did not increase food consumption overall or the high levels of stress and guilt experienced by HCAs. Lack of social cueing and less than five minutes of feeding assistance were correlated with increased risk of malnutrition across nursing homes. A paucity of HCA documentation of oral intake in medical records suggests an organisational barrier to the translation of HCA knowledge to the wider healthcare team.

Resumen
As the concept of the Smart Home is being embraced globally, IoT devices such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Nest Thermostat are becoming a part of more and more households. In the data-driven world we live in today, internet service providers (ISPs) and companies are collecting large amounts of data and using it to learn about their customers. As a result, it is becoming increasingly important to understand what information ISPs are capable of collecting. IoT devices in particular exhibit distinct behavior patterns and specific functionality which make them especially likely to reveal sensitive information. Collection of this data provides valuable information and can have some serious privacy implications. In this work I present an approach to fingerprinting IoT devices behind private networks while only examining last-mile internet traffic . Not only does this attack only rely on traffic that would be available to an ISP, it does not require changes to existing infrastructure. Further, it does not rely on packet contents, and therefore works despite encryption. Using a database of 64 million packets logged over 15 weeks I was able to train machine learning models to classify the Amazon Echo Dot, Amazon Echo Show, Eufy Genie, and Google Home consistently. This approach combines unsupervised and supervised learning and achieves a precision of 99.95\%, equating to one false positive per 2,000 predictions. Finally, I discuss the implication of identifying devices within a home.

Resumen
Background. Smart home assistants are becoming more common in our homes. Often taking the form of a speaker, these devices enable communication via voice commands. Through this communication channel, users can for example order a pizza, check the weather, or call a taxi. When a voice command is given to the assistant, the command is sent to cloud services over the Internet, enabling a multitude of functions associated with risks regarding security and privacy. Furthermore, with an always active Internet connection, smart home assistants are a part of the Internet of Things, a type of historically not secure devices. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the security situation and the risks that a smart home assistant brings with it. Objectives. This thesis aims to investigate and compile threats towards smart home assistants in a home environment. Such a compilation could be used as a foundation during the creation of a formal model for securing smart home assistants and other devices with similar properties. Methods. Through literature studies and threat modelling, current vulnerabilities towards smart home assistants and systems with similar properties were found and compiled. A few  vulnerabilities were tested against two smart home assistants through experiments to verify which vulnerabilities are present in a home environment. Finally, methods for the prevention and protection of the vulnerabilities were found and compiled. Results. Overall, 27 vulnerabilities towards smart home assistants and 12 towards similar systems were found and identified. The majority of the found vulnerabilities focus on exploiting the voice interface. In total, 27 methods to prevent vulnerabilities in smart home assistants or similar systems were found and compiled. Eleven of the found vulnerabilities did not have any reported protection methods. Finally, we performed one experiment consisting of four attacks against two smart home assistants with mixed results; one attack was not successful, while the others were either completely or partially successful in exploiting the target vulnerabilities. Conclusions. We conclude that vulnerabilities exist for smart home assistants and similar systems. The vulnerabilities differ in execution difficulty and impact. However, we consider smart home assistants safe enough to usage with the accompanying protection methods activated.
Bakgrund. Smarta hemassistenter blir allt vanligare i våra hem. De tar ofta formen av en högtalare och möjliggör kommunikation via röstkommandon. Genom denna kommunikationskanal kan användare bland annat beställa pizza, kolla väderleken eller beställa en taxi. Röstkommandon som ges åt enheten skickas till molntjänster över internet och möjliggör då flertalet funktioner med associerade risker kring säkerhet och integritet. Vidare, med en konstant uppkoppling mot internet är de smarta hemassistenterna en del av sakernas internet; en typ av enhet som historiskt sett är osäker. Således är det viktigt att förstå säkerhetssituationen och riskerna som medföljer användningen av smarta hemassistenter i en hemmiljö. Syfte. Syftet med rapporten är att göra en bred kartläggning av hotbilden mot smarta hemassistenter i en hemmiljö. Dessutom kan kartläggningen fungera som en grund i skapandet av en modell för att säkra både smarta hemassistenter och andra enheter med liknande egenskaper. Metod. Genom literaturstudier och hotmodellering hittades och sammanställdes nuvarande hot mot smarta hemassistenter och system med liknande egenskaper. Några av hoten testades mot två olika smarta hemassistenter genom experiment för att säkerställa vilka hot som är aktuella i en hemmiljö. Slutligen hittades och sammanställdes även metoder för att förhindra och skydda sig mot sårbarheterna. Resultat. Totalt hittades och sammanställdes 27 stycken hot mot smarta hemassistenter och 12 mot liknande system. Av de funna sårbarheterna fokuserar majoriteten på manipulation av röstgränssnittet genom olika metoder. Totalt hittades och sammanställdes även 27 stycken metoder för att förhindra sårbarheter i smarta hemassistenter eller liknande system, varav elva sårbarheter inte förhindras av någon av dessa metoder. Slutligen utfördes ett experiment där fyra olika attacker testades mot två smarta hemassistenter med varierande resultat. En attack lyckades inte, medan resterande antingen helt eller delvis lyckades utnyttja sårbarheterna. Slutsatser. Vi konstaterar att sårbarheter finns för smarta hemassistenter och för liknande system. Sårbarheterna varierar i svårighet att uföra samt konsekvens. Dock anser vi att smarta hemassistenter är säkra nog att använda med medföljande skyddsmetoder aktiverade.

Texto completo
Resumen
Since the 1960s homeschooling has increased in popularity across the United States. While homeschooling was deemed illegal in all 50 states, by 1993 homeschooling was legal in every state. As homeschooling was legalized, each state created its own ways of monitoring and supporting homeschooled students. In 1991 when the state of Iowa legalized homeschooling, the Iowa legislature created Home School Assistance Programs (HSAPs), which used public school funds to provide state-certified teachers to supervise homeschooled families. The purpose of this study was to apply the theoretical model of the parental involvement process created by Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1995, 1997) to examine differences between parents who homeschooled within a HSAP and those who homeschooled in a different manner. Specifically, the study explored parental involvement, parents’ perceptions of their life context, parental self-efficacy, social-contextual motivators of involvement, and parents’ perceived invitations from their children. The study also investigated the extent to which HSAPs serve homeschooling parents and the viability of HSAPs as a means of serving homeschooling parents. Findings suggest that there were no significant differences between parents who homeschool using a HSAP and those who do not in regard to any of the aforementioned categories. However, there was a significant difference in parental role activity beliefs based on the size of the HSAP in which a participant was involved, such that participants who were involved with a larger HSAP reported being more involved in their children’s education than parents involved with a small HSAP. No additional significant differences were found regarding the size of the HSAP or the geographic setting of the HSAP. Overall, the results of the study demonstrated that parents who homeschool are similar in parents’ motivational beliefs, perceptions of specific invitations from their children, perceived life context, and home-based involvement behaviors, regardless of their involvement with a HSAP.

Resumen
The following master thesis is conducted on behalf of KTH Royal Instituteof Technology and KTH Live-in Lab with the purpose of developing avoice-controlled home-assisting system for the KTH Live-in Lab. The labis being designed to serve as a testbed for products and services that canbe tested and veried within an optimal space which can simulate a reallifeusage. Being designed as a bridge between industry and academia, itaims to create a greater ease to which new products are tested and are researchedwhile involving KTH students in the process. Having innovationat its core the KTH Live-in Lab needs a mode of communication betweenthe user/occupant and the appliances in the space. That is why this thesisproposes to design a voice-controlled system that can control the appliancesand execute the commands provided by the user. The system will be createdaround a Speech to text service and improving its performance through variousmodications/integrations. The solution will be installed in the KTHLive-in Lab and integrated with the central controller once the sensor placementand controller installation is done.To make the system more robust and accurate, a new variable called,\Failure Factors" were dened for a voice-controlled system. The prototypeswere designed and improved with these factors as a basis. The main aimof the project is to make a system capable of handling a set of pre-denedsimple commands. For testing purpose, only 3 appliances were considered {light, heater and music. Also, the output is observed on LEDs rather thanon real appliances for the testing. These limitations were adapted to keepour focus on the prime motive of this project and that was to make the voicerecognitionas consistent and accurate as possible. Future work will consist ofmaking the system capable of handling complex user commands and havingan active feedback mechanism such that the user can have conversation withthe system.

Resumen
Smart Homes (SHs), as subsets of the Internet of Things (IoT), make use of Machine Learning and Arti cial Intelligence tools to provide technology-enabled solutions which assist their occupants and users with their Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Some SH provide always-present, health management support and care services. Having these services provided at home enables SH occupants such as the elderly and disabled to continue to live in their own homes and localities thus aiding Ageing In Place goals and eliminating the need for them to be relocated in order to be able to continue receiving the same support and services. Introducing and interconnecting smart, autonomous systems in homes to enable these service provisions and Assistance Technologies (AT) requires that certain interfaces in, and connections to, SH are exposed to the Internet, among other public-facing networks. This introduces the potential for cyber-physical attacks to be perpetrated through, from and against SH. Apart from the actual threats posed by these attacks to SH occupants and their homes, the potential that these attacks might occur can adversely a ect the adoption or uptake of SH solutions. This thesis identi es key attributes of the di erent elements (things or nodes and rooms or zones) in SHs and the relationships that exist between these elements. These relationships can be used to build SH security baselines for SHs such that any deviations from this baseline is described as anomalous. The thesis demonstrates the application of these relationships to Anomaly Detection (AD) through the analysis of several hypothetical scenarios and the decisions reached about whether they are normal or anomalous. This thesis also proposes an Internet of Things Digital Forensics Framework (IDFF), a Forensics Edge Management System (FEMS), a FEMS Decision-Making Algorithm (FDMA) and an IoT Incident Response plan. These tools can be combined to provide proactive (autonomous and human-led) Digital Forensics services within cyber-physical environments like the Smart Home.

Resumen
O Ministério da Saúde define Saúde da Família como estratégia de reorientação do modelo assistencial, operacionalizada mediante a implantação de equipes multiprofissionais em unidades básicas de saúde. Esta equipe oferece Assistência Integral, levando em consideração o meio ambiente e os comportamentos interpessoais. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), Assistência Domiciliar é entendida como oferta de serviços de saúde por prestadores formais e informais para promover, restaurar e manter o conforto e saúde das pessoas em nível máximo, incluindo cuidados para uma morte digna. Neste contexto, a Atenção Domiciliar (AD) é valioso instrumento de monitorização da situação de saúde das famílias pelas equipes de saúde, favorecendo o acompanhamento clínico e melhores prognósticos, evitando a hospitalização e suas consequências, sendo considerada importante recurso de humanização do atendimento. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos indivíduos atendidos em AD pelas equipes dos Núcleos de Saúde da Família ligados à Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo, localizados no Distrito de Saúde Oeste do Município de Ribeirão Preto/SP. O estudo se deu entre janeiro de 2015 e dezembro de 2016 com vistas a nortear estratégias de aprimoramento do atendimento através do planejamento e organização do trabalho do profissional executor da visita domiciliar (VD), favorecendo maior resolubilidade da(s) demanda(s) e maior satisfação do usuário. Realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal coletando informações sobre os usuários assistidos por esta modalidade de cuidado e sobre o processo de AD, através de questionários elaborados com base na literatura sobre o assunto. Entre os 150 pacientes visitados, 106 (70,7%) eram mulheres, 66 (44%) eram casados, 84 (56%) eram aposentados, 101 (67,3%) pertenciam a famílias anciãs, 84 (56%) possuíam ensino fundamental e 102 (68%) tinham cuidadores. Com relação à média de idade, o NSF 2 apresentou a maior média de idade (72,5) e o NSF 5 a menor média (59,9). Os diagnósticos mais encontrados foram Acidentes Vasculares Cerebrais [21(14%)] e Demência [16(10,7%)] e as classes de medicamentos mais utilizadas foram anti-hipertensivos [93(62%)]. Com relação às modalidades de AD, 128 (85,3%) visitas foram classificadas como AD1, 13 (8,7%) como AD2 e somente 9 (6%) como AD3. Também foram avaliadas outras características da AD e observou-se que 137 (91,3%) das VD\'s realizadas foram agendadas, 65 (43,33%) estavam em acompanhamento domiciliar e somente 30 (20%) foram busca ativa. Após as VD\'s, 83 (55,3%) pacientes mantiveram-se em acompanhamento domiciliar e 65 (43,3%) pacientes retornaram para seguimento na Unidade. Por fim, os resultados permitem delinear o perfil de vida e saúde dos pacientes, sendo a maioria idosos, mulheres, aposentados, pertencentes à famílias anciãs, possuindo cuidadores e os diagnósticos prevalentes foram doenças crônicas degenerativas. Ademais, identificou-se a necessidade de fortalecimento de ações de prevenção e promoção de saúde, reduzindo-se complicações e internações desnecessárias. Assim, políticas públicas específicas voltadas principalmente para a população mais idosa devem ser consideradas prioridades. Além disto, as AD se realizavam de forma quase intuitiva, provavelmente em decorrência da alta demanda que as unidades precisam atender, evidenciando a necessidade de sistematização da atividade.
The MS defines Family\'s Health as a strategy for reorganize the care model, operationalized through the implantation of multiprofessional teams in basic health units. This team offers Integral Assistance, taking into consideration the environment and interpersonal behavior. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), home care is understood as providing health services by formal and informal providers to promote, restore and maintain the comfort and health of people at the highest level, including care for a dignified death. In this context, Home Care (HC) is a valuable tool for monitoring the health situation of families by health teams, favoring clinical follow-up and better prognoses, avoiding hospitalization and its consequences, being considered an important humanization resource. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological profile of individuals assisted in HC by the teams of the Family Health Centers connected to the Medical School of Ribeirão Preto of University of São Paulo, located in the Western District of the Municipality of Ribeirão Preto/SP. The study was conducted between January 2015 and December 2016 with a view to guiding strategies for improving care through the planning and organization of the work performed by the home visiting professional, favoring greater resolubility of the demands and greater user satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was carried out, collecting information about the users assisted by this modality of care and about the HC process, through questionnaires elaborated based on the literature on the subject. Among the 150 patients visited, 106 (70.7%) were women, 66 (44%) were married, 84 (56%) were retired, 101 (67.3%) belonged to elderly families, 84 (56%) had elementary school and 102 (68%) had caregivers. Regarding the mean age, NSF 2 had the highest mean age (72.5) and NSF 5 had the lowest mean (59.9). The most frequent diagnoses were Cerebral Vascular Accidents [21 (14%)] and Dementia [16 (10.7%)] and the most used classes of drugs were antihypertensive [93 (62%)]. Regarding HC modalities, 128 (85.3%) visits were classified as HC1, 13 (8.7%) as HC2 and only 9 (6%) as HC3. Other characteristics of the HC were also evaluated, and 137 (91.3%) of the HVs performed were scheduled, 65 (43.33%) were under housekeeping and only 30 (20%) were active. After the HVs, 83 (55.3%) patients were followed up at home and 65 (43.3%) returned for follow-up at the Unit. Finally, the results allow to delineate the life and health profile of the patients, being the majority elderly, women, retired, belonging to the elderly families, having caregivers and the prevalent diagnoses were chronic degenerative diseases. In addition, it was identified the need to strengthen health prevention and promotion actions, reducing unnecessary complications and hospitalizations. Thus, specific public policies aimed primarily at the older population should be considered priorities. In addition, the HCs were performed in an almost intuitive way, probably due to the high demand that the units need to attend, evidencing the need to systematize the activity.

Resumen
Elder bullying is on the rise and occurs in many contexts such as senior living communities and nursing homes, causing concern for the well-being of the residents by families, staff, themselves, and society in general. Although research has been limited, it does reveal that resident-to-resident bullying in nursing homes is a problem warranting further scholarly attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) regarding resident-to-resident bullying in nursing homes. The theory of reasoned action and the theory of reflective equilibrium provided a conceptual lens from which to explore and describe the importance of the CNAs' attitudes and behavior when recognizing, observing, and addressing bullying incidences. A phenomenological research design was employed. Using open-ended questions, 10 CNAs were individually interviewed. One major discovery of the study was that 100% of the CNAs interviewed indicated that they experienced resident-to-resident bullying and that it was a major problem in the nursing home. The findings of this study presented many possibilities for positive social change across all levels, from individuals and families to nursing home organizations and society as a whole, but most importantly, it increased awareness about bullying across nursing homes as the ultimate goal was for the improvement on the quality of life experienced by residents in nursing homes.

Resumen
Nursing assistants (NAs) provide the majority of daily care to older adults in nursing homes (NHs); NAs working in NHs are the focus of this study. This study examined the influence of participatory management (the independent variable), and mediating variables, burnout – measured as emotional exhaustion, task performance, and affective organizational commitment, on NA withdrawal behaviors (the dependent variables absenteeism and turnover). Most of the data come from a 113-item self-administered questionnaire designed to measure NAs' perceptions of their job and work environment. Turnover data were collected from the NA's NH, on average about 16 months later. The two dependent variables were examined in separate analyses with the samples consisting of 246 participants for the absenteeism analysis and 244 for the turnover analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and PROCESS 3.3, an SPSS macro add-in. Both ordinary least squares and logistic binary regression were used to examine the associations between variables. The results indicated that participatory management had statistically significant indirect effects on both outcomes. There were two significant mediation results for absenteeism: 1) participatory management increased NA task performance, which, in turn, decreased absenteeism and, 2) participatory management also decreased NA burnout, which, in turn, increased their performance and decreased absenteeism. There were four significant mediation results for turnover: 1) participatory management increased NA attachment to the NH, which, in turn, decreased turnover, 2) participatory management improved NAs' perceptions of their job performance, which, in turn, increased their turnover, 3) participatory management tended to decrease NA burnout, which, in turn, tended to increase attachment to the NH, and, then, tended to decrease turnover, and 4) participatory management tended to decrease NA burnout, which, in turn, tended to increase task performance, and, then, tended to increase turnover. These findings broaden the research on NAs' withdrawal behaviors and demonstrate the need to further explore this hypothesized model.

Resumen
Around the globe the number of older people in relation to the rest is constantly growing. As a result, medical and care facilities cannot handle the growing number of patients. Therefore, elderly in-home assistance gets more attention an importance. Due to issues regarding memory, physical strength and reduced self-assessment, old people face a lot of challenges in accomplishing their activities of daily living. This thesis is meant to address these problems by analysing the required infrastructure of a home-care facility as well as the arising issues regarding used components, especially wireless sensors. After the analysis, a prototype of a home-care system is designed and implemented. Furthermore, the issue of energy consumption of the used wireless sensor node is addressed by modifying the intelligence of the used sensor. After that, the design and components of the prototype used for the energy consumption analysis is explained, together with the programming structure of the sensor nodes used in this thesis. Thereupon, the results are of the simulations are discussed and compared with the authors ‘expectations. Finally the overall outcomes of the thesis are analysed and summed up, followed by a short outlook of further possible improvements and developments.

Resumen
L'une des finalités de la Biologie Moléculaire (BM) est l'étude de l'architecture spatiale (ie. structure 3D) des molécules. Les expérimentations in silico (ie. simulations numériques) permettant la modélisation 3D utilisent le plus souvent des approches automatiques. Or, ces approches présentent certains inconvénients: temps de traitement important, modélisation souvent partielle, modèle 3D généralement figé, etc. L'apport des connaissances des experts, de manière interactive, pendant le processus de modélisation automatique peut pallier certains défauts des méthodes calculatoires usuelles. Il s'agit de placer le biologiste au centre des essais virtuels plutôt qu'en observateur de résultats de simulations. C'est ce que nous appelons l'approche hybride, qui associe les avantages des expérimentations in silico (capacité de calcul) à ceux des Interactions Homme-Machine (IHM) et de la Réalité Virtuelle (RV) : commande naturelle, immersion dans l'environnement virtuel (EV), multimodalité, etc. Le résultat de cette approche est la création d'analyses in virtuo, qui comportent trois phases fondamentales: la modélisation 3D, la visualisation et l'interaction 3D (I3D). Cependant, des domaines complexes tels que la BM sont régis par un ensemble de contraintes qui peuvent être locales (liées aux objets 3D ou aux tâches d'I3D) et globales (liées à l'espace des objets 3D ou au système d'I3D). Par conséquent, l'intervention des experts ne peut pas être réalisée efficacement par des techniques d'I3D classiques, indépendantes de la complexité et des contraintes du domaine. Plus généralement, nous sommes confrontés au problème innovant de l'I3D sous contraintes qui intègre les règles de comportement imposées par l'EV. Pour y répondre, nous formalisons un modèle d'assistance qui associe les contraintes, les tâches d'interaction et des outils d'assistance que sont les guides virtuels. Nous avons appliqué ces deux concepts, d'approche hybride et d'assistance à l'I3D sous contraintes, au problème de la modélisation 3D du chromosome. Les contraintes identifiées sont ici architecturales (ie. données physico-chimiques) et fonctionnelles (ie. modèles biologiques). Ces contraintes issues des lois de la Biologie imposent l'ordonnancement spatial du chromosome. Le système d'interaction Hommme-Molécule in virtuo proposé peut être considéré plus crédible puisqu'il respecte les contraintes environnementales, tant au niveau de la structure 3D qu'au niveau de l'I3D.

Ce travail porte sur la conception d'une nouvelle forme d'interaction Homme-Machine : la multimodalité parole+présentation visuelle en sortie du système. Plus précisément, l'étude porte sur l'évaluation des apports potentiels de la parole, en tant que mode d'expression complémentaire du graphique, lors du repérage visuel de cibles au sein d'affichages 2D interactifs.
Nous avons adopté une approche expérimentale pour déterminer l'influence d'indications spatiales orales sur la rapidité et la précision du repérage de cibles et évaluer la satisfaction subjective d'utilisateurs potentiels de cette forme d'assistance à l'activité d'exploration visuelle.
Les différentes études réalisées ont montré d'une part que les présentations multimodales facilitent et améliorent les performances des utilisateurs pour le repérage visuel, en termes de temps et de précision de sélection des cibles. Elles ont montré d'autre part que les stratégies d'exploration visuelle des affichages, en l'absence de messages sonores, dépendent de l'organisation spatiale des informations au sein de l'affichage graphique.

Resumen
Välfärdsomsorg som i Sverige bedrivs enligt hälso- och sjukvårdslagen samt socialtjänstlagen är enligt lag skyldig att bedriva en systematisk kvalitetsutveckling. I denna kvalitetsutveckling inkluderas att arbeta med identifiering av brister samt risker för brister. Detta sker genom att personal i omsorgsverksamheter systematiskt ska rapportera avvikelser varpå ett avvikelsearbete påbörjas. Avvikelsearbetet leder till åtgärder i verksamheter och är därmed ett relativt omedelbart kvalitetsutvecklande. Samtidigt fyller avvikelsearbetet en funktion på en mer aggregerad nivå då det i statistiska sammanställningar kan ge fingervisning om hur verksamheter bedrivs samt att brister, och eventuella behov, tydliggörs. Statistiskt underlag samt tydliggjorda brister och behov kan i sin tur användas för att underbygga beslut som berör verksamheterna, både beslut inom verksamheter men också politiska beslut som sätter ramar och förutsättningar för organisationer och verksamheter. Således kan avvikelsearbete mynna ut i ett av de flera kvalitetsmått vilka i vårt samhälle idag är avgörande för att kunna utvärdera att offentligt bekostad välfärd dels är effektiv men också av god kvalité. Det finns idag en utbredd kritik av den samhälleliga styrmodell som kallas New Public Management. Kritiken riktar bland annat in sig på de stora krav av uppföljning och utvärdering som är både resurskrävande och riskfyllda i den mening att utvärdering och mätning av kvalité kan innehålla skevheter och föra med sig missvisande resultat. Kritik förs också fram mot att det administrativa arbetet tar över tid och resurser från kärnverksamheten, i den här studien äldreomsorg. Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka hur personal inom äldreomsorgens särskilda boende upplever deras avvikelsearbete utifrån begreppet organisationskultur. Det är av relevans att höra hur den personal som arbetar med avvikelsearbete upplever sitt arbete med kvalitetsutveckling. Avvikelsearbete som arbetsuppgift medför nämligen möjliga utmaningar: personal inom äldreomsorg är en av de personalgrupper i samhället som är mest belastad arbetsmiljömässigt, avvikelsearbete kan vara laddat med en känsla av utpekande av syndabockar, det finns incitament för organisationer att visa upp en yta av att kvalitetsarbete pågår. Studien har genomförts som en fallstudie med kvalitativ ansats där sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med vårdbiträden samt undersköterskor från en och samma arbetsgrupp har gjorts under våren 2018. Resultatet går i linje med tidigare forskning som lyfter fram olika aspekter som relevanta för ett framgångsrikt avvikelsearbete: kommunikation och dialog med kollegor och chef, uppmuntran från chef, tydlig struktur för hur avvikelsearbetet bedrivs. Resultatet visar också på aspekter som kan lyftas fram som brister i avvikelsearbetet: hur personal kompenserar för att hinna med sitt arbete, att avvikelser gällande vissa brister inte alltid rapporteras. För att tolka och analysera studiens resultat används socialpsykologen Edgar Scheins arbete om organisationskultur samt företagsekonomen Mats Alvessons arbete om mekanismer inom organisationer.
Welfare Care that in Sweden is given according to laws regulating health care and social services is obligated to secure systematic quality improvement. Risk management through deviation reports is a part of this quality improvement which can affect the welfare care rather immediate. Deviation reports can also be used in statistical overviews where both risks and needs within the given care can be accentuated. As a consequence, information about risk, needs and statistical overviews can also be used for decision-making in both care organisations and in policy decisions that sets the framework for the welfare care given. Hence, deviation reports can be used as one of several quality indicators that today is fundamental in the evaluation of the quality of publicly financed welfare care. Criticism of New Public Management as a control model in welfare address the heavy demands of evaluation, auditing and monitoring which implicates risks of skewness and misguiding results. Criticism also points out that the administrative work that follows with NPM takes time and resources from the welfare cares main focus which in this paper is care for the elderly. This paper aims to examine how staff within elderly care homes experience their work with deviation reports regarding the concept of organizational culture. It is of relevance to examine this since these staff are the ones producing the evidence on which decisions are based. Also, statistics shows that staff within elder care is highly over represented in regard to risk in the work environment. Deviation reporting is also filled with challenges like avoiding the sensation of pointing out a scapegoat or someone to blame. There are also incentives for organisations to keep a facade that their operations are fully functional. This study has been completed as a case study through a qualitative approach where seven semi-structured interviews with assistant nurses and nurses aides from a single work group has been made during spring 2018. The result is in line with earlier research that points out different aspects that are of relevance for successful work with deviation reports. The results also point out aspects that can be regarded as flaws within the work of deviation reports. To interpret and analyse the result of this study two main perspectives has been used; social psychologist Edgar Scheins work on organizational culture and professor of business administration Mats Alvessonswork on mechanisms within organizations.

Resumen
Avec le nombre croissant d'utilisateurs novices des applications informatiques, le besoin d'une aide efficace est devenu critique. Afin de répondre à ce besoins, nous suggérons d'utiliser un Agent Conversationnel Assistant (ACA), c'est-à-dire une interface permettant l'utilisation de la langue naturelle (en effet celle-ci est utilisée spontanément dès qu'un problème surgit) ainsi qu'une présence rassurante pour les utilisateurs.Une étude préliminaire détaille la constitution (en combinant la collecte et l'utilisation de thesaurus) d'un corpus de requêtes dont nous justifions le besoin. Ce corpus de 11626 requêtes est comparé avec d'autres corpus existants et nous montrons qu'il couvre le domaine étudié d'aide et que de plus, il contient des requêtes portant d'une part sur le contrôle de l'application et d'autre part des phrases de 'clavardage'. Ce corpus fournit une base saine pour la conception d'un analyseur syntactico-sémantique de requêtes en langage naturel, utilisant un jeu de classes (keys) sémantiques, un jeu de règles d'analyse et un jeu de règles de transformation. En entrée, les requêtes sont exprimées dans un langage formel (DAFT) pour lequel nous proposons une syntaxe et une sémantique. L'analyseur est alors évalué en comparant une annotation manuelle avec les requêtes produites automatiquement et nous étudions l'usage de techniques d'apprentissage supervisé afin d'identifier les classes d'activités conversationnelles. La méthodologie employée est validée via l'intégration d'un ACA dans une application Web existante , dédiée au prototypage collectif de la musique sur Internet. Enfin, nous décrivons l'architecture requise pour implémenter un agent rationnel qui a pour rôle de définir les réactions aux requêtes formelles des usagers, exprimées en DAFT ainsi que le modèle de l'application assistée, mettant ainsi en lumière le besoin d'un modèle cognitif.

Resumen
Oral health among elderly people is commonly debated, and correlations between oral and general health are shown. The increase of life expectancy in our population causes changes in the need of oral health care. The requirements of performing the oral hygiene increase and cause higher demands on the staff working at the geriatric homes. Both private and communal geriatric homes were included in this study. Two different questionnaires were distributed, one to nursing staff and one to staff managers. A geographical distribution to four big city’s; Umeå, Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö were selected. The hypothesis is that the knowledge of the daily needs of oral care for elderly people among geriatric nursing staff and the manager, are insufficient and more education are needed. Results do not differ when comparing private and municipal management. Nursing assistants indicated that their basic education included none or minor theoretical knowledge (61 %) and practical training in oral care (67 %). Part of the staff (30%) felt that they needed more education to help the residents with the daily oral care. Half of the staff members answered that they had not received any in-service education in oral health. The results did not differ comparing private and municipal geriatric homes. Conclusions of this study are that it is common that caretakers in geriatric homes are in need of assistance when performing daily oral care. The staffs appear to be well aware of the fact that maintaining a good oral health is of big importance. More education about oral health are both wanted and needed.

Resumen
Patient safety culture (PSC) is a critical factor in creating high reliability healthcare organizations. However, few studies to date have correlated PSC measures with actual safety outcomes. In particular, nursing home studies have only recently appeared in the literature. Nursing homes differ from hospitals in that the vast majority of direct care is provided by certified nursing assistants (CNAs), not licensed nurses. Thus nursing home PSC could differ in important ways from PSC in acute care institutions. This dissertation was a secondary data analysis that examined whether CNAs’ perceptions of patient safety culture were correlated with clinical outcomes in a random sample of 74 nursing homes in five randomly selected states. This study matched CNA PSC survey data using the Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) with Minimum Data Set (MDS), Area Resource File (ARF) and Online Survey Certification and Reporting (OSCAR) data from those same homes during the first two quarters of 2005. In the original study, 1579 nurse aides out of 2872 completed the survey, for a 55% response rate. In addition to clinical outcomes, this study examined the relationship between CNA PSC scores and staff turnover. The relationship between certain demographic variables, such as level of education, tenure as a CNA, and PSC scores was evaluated. The relationship between certain facility characteristics, such as profit status and bed occupancy was also assessed. An exploratory factor analysis of the original HSOPSC instrument was re-run for this nursing home CNA sample. Data were analyzed using Poisson regression and multilevel techniques; descriptive statistics were compiled for demographic data. Major findings from the regression analyses and combined GEE models suggest that certain factors, such as CNA turnover and LPN staffing may predict CNA PSC scores. CNA PSC scores were associated with rates of falls and restraint use, but were not associated with differences in pressure ulcer rates in this sample. Few associations for CNA PSC with individual subscales were identified. The exploratory factor analysis revealed some potential differences in how items and subscales factored in this nursing home CNA population. This dissertation represents an important step in the evaluation of CNA PSC in nursing homes and the relationship of PSC to safety outcomes. Future work on nursing home PSC and clinical and workforce outcomes is described.
