  1. 1. Electronic Health Records System’s Routinization: Exploring healthcare workers’ experiences in a Chinese Public Hospital

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för informatik

    Author : Yuhu Feng; Yiping Xu; [2024]
    Keywords : Electronic Health Records; Information Systems; Adaptive Structuration Theory; Healthcare; China; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This study investigates the routinization of Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems in a Chinese hospital setting, focusing on Yangzhou University Hospital. Utilizing Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST), the research explores the complex interplay between technolo-gy, human agency, and organizational structures in the context of EHR implementation.

  2. 2. Anomaly Detection in the EtherCAT Network of a Power Station : Improving a Graph Convolutional Neural Network Framework

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Niklas Barth; [2023]
    Keywords : Unsupervised Learning; Multivariate Time Series; Graph Convolutional Neural Networks; Anomaly Detection; Industrial Control System; EtherCAT; Power Station; Electricity Grid;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an anomaly detection framework is assessed and fine-tuned to detect and explain anomalies in a power station, where EtherCAT, an Industrial Control System, is employed for monitoring. The chosen framework is based on a previously published Graph Neural Network (GNN) model, utilizing attention mechanisms to capture complex relationships between diverse measurements within the EtherCAT system.

  3. 3. Enhanced Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments as an organisational learning bridge for resilience building? A case study of Red Cross National Societies in the Caribbean

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Gwenaëlle Delcourt; [2023]
    Keywords : Organisational learning; resilience; vulnerability and capacity assessments VCAs ; red cross red crescent; Disaster risk management; MMO; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Adaptive capacity based on organisational learning (OL) is at once a critical imperative facing humanitarian organisations in their mission to save lives and support communities most at risk; and inherently evidenced as an enduring weakness over the past decades. Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) are community-based risk assessments established for their utility in supporting communities’ iterative learning. READ MORE

  4. 4. Achieving Sustainability in Complex Multi-Tier Supply Chains: The Role of Supply Chain Visibility and Transparency in Responsible Sourcing of Critical Minerals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Ekaterina Pikuleva; [2023]
    Keywords : critical minerals; supply chain transparency; supply chain visibility; sustainable supply chain management; traceability; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : There is growing pressure from stakeholders on global corporations to ensure the sustainability of their products throughout the supply chain. At the same time, due to the high complexity and dynamism of supply chains, companies often do not know what actors operate in their supply chains beyond direct suppliers. READ MORE

  5. 5. Of Chaos And Clockworks : A Formal Criticism Of The Modern Sustainability Paradigm

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Arnström; [2023]
    Keywords : sustainability; sustainability science; complexity; complex adaptive systems; Earth system; Earth system science; resilience theory; the adaptive cycle; chaos theory; eco-theology;

    Abstract : This thesis is a critical review of two central theories in the modern sustainability paradigm – namely… (1) the theory that the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere form a complex adaptive system – the Earth system, and (2) the theory that all human activities are intrinsically dependent on, and constrained by, non-anthropogenic states and processes in the Earth system. The thesis explains the origins and the logic of these theories, and subjects them to formal, semi-formal and comparative criticism. READ MORE
