  1. 1. Applying Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modeling to Model Patient Flow in the Emergency Department : Evaluation of the Impact of Patient Characteristics on Emergency Department Logistics

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Umberto Rosamilia; [2022]
    Keywords : Emergency Department; Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modeling; Healthcare Logistics; Patient Flow Modeling; Patient Pathways; Markov Process; Akutmottagning; Icke-Linjär Blandad Effektmodellering; Vårdlogistik; Patientflödesmodellering; Patientflöde; Markovprocess;

    Abstract : Emergency departments are fundamental for providing high-quality care, and their operations directly impact the logistics of the hospitals in their entirety. Poor emergency department performance leads to delays, prolonged hospitalization, and improper allocation of resources, reducing the quality of the provided care and increasing costs. READ MORE

    Abstract : Pharmacometrics is widely used in drug development. Models are developed to describe pharmacological measurements with data gathered from a clinical trial. The information can then be applied to, for instance, safely establish dose-response relationships of a substance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of elastic powder properties using analytical powder decompression : Effects of tablet compaction parameters, pressure, speed, and lubrication

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Pardis Babaei; [2020]
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical powder; elastic powder properties; analytical powder decompression;

    Abstract : Aim: The objective of this project was to use analytical powder decompression (APDC) in tablet compaction processes to study the elastic behavior of powders. Background: During powder compaction, the particles undergo four stages of rearrangement, plastic deformation or particle fracture, and elastic deformation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nonlinear mixed effects models for longitudinal DATA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Raid Mahbouba; [2015]
    Keywords : Longitudinal data; machine learning techniques; splines; mixed effects; leverage.;

    Abstract : The main objectives of this master thesis are to explore the effectiveness of nonlinear mixed effects model for longitudinal data. Mixed effect models allow to investigate the nature of relationship between the time-varying covariates and the response while also capturing the variations of subjects. READ MORE

  6. 5. How age diversity on the Board of Directors affects Firm Performance

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för management

    Author : Spakur Dagsson; Emil Larsson; [2011]
    Keywords : Corporate Governance; Board of Directors; Age Diversity; Firm Performance;

    Abstract : A great number of studies have shown that the composition of the board of directors can have a significant impact upon firm performance. Early studies on board composition focused on factors such as independence of directors, with the impact of cognitive diversity in decision making gaining recognition only in the last few years.
