  1. 1. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

    Abstract : The LUCAS Chest Compression System is a market leading mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation device, assisting medical professionals worldwide when treating patients with sudden cardiac arrest. The objective of this master thesis project was to develop a new, adjustable test equipment for the LUCAS device, allowing for tests on varying chest heights and stiffness levels. READ MORE

  3. 3. DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOME TRAINING AND HUMANOID ROBOT FEEDBACK ON A VISUOSPATIAL GAMIFIED TASK: An experimental study investigating learning, affective social engagement cues and cognitive learning strategies

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Alva Markelius; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023-02-01]
    Keywords : Human-robot interaction; gamified memory task; dementia; differential outcome theory; Furhat; engagement; digitalised treatments; robot assistance;

    Abstract : By combining Differential Outcome Training (DOT), the usage of unique stimulus-response pairings, and feedback from a humanoid simulated robot (SDK) this study aims to improve learning performance of subjects on a visuospatial gamified memory task. This is achieved by using the SDK as an interface for an algorithm that provides audiovisual, reinforcing feedback promoting engangement in a new dyadic setup for a gamified task. READ MORE

  4. 4. Påverkan av tid och temperatur vid analys av pH i träckprov från häst

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Olivia Ahlstedt; Martina Löfgren; [2023]
    Keywords : ekvint; fecesprov; mag-tarmhälsa; metodstudie; pH; provförvaring; provhantering;

    Abstract : Mätning av pH i träck är vanligt förekommande i vetenskapliga artiklar om nutrition och magtarmhälsa på häst. Metoderna för mätning av fekalt pH som beskrivs i litteraturen varierar mellan olika studier vilket gör att det finns en efterfrågan av ett mer standardiserat protokoll för mätning av fekalt pH.

  5. 5. Predictability of Shareholder Return in Medical Device Companies : Investment Decisions from thePerspective of an Investment Firm

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Daniel Gröttheim; [2023]
    Keywords : Medical device companies; pre-market approval; total return; abnormal return; stock return prediction; market anomalies; free cash flow yield; efficient markets; financial crisis; investment firm; Medicintekniska företag; förmarknadsgodkännande; totalavkastning; abnorm avkastning; aktieavkastningsförutsägbarhet; marknadsavvikelser; avkastning på fritt kassaflöde; effektiva marknader; finanskris; investeringsföretag;

    Abstract : The medical device industry has seen rapid growth in recent years, and the increasing valuations has caught the attention of investors. Although their growth has outpaced many indices, medical device companies’ reliance on capital to finance research, patents, and clinical testing to reach pre-market approval makes due-diligence and the investment research process especially complex.
