    The persuasive effects of emotional green packaging claims2019Ingår i: British Food Journal, ISSN 0007-070X, E-ISSN 1758-4108, Vol. 121, nr 12, s. 3233-3246Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of rational green packaging claims vs emotional green packaging claims on consumers' purchase propensity for organic coffee.

    Design/methodology/approach - Three within-subjects experiment were carried out (N=87, N=245, N=60). The experimental design encompasses packaging with rational green claims, emotional green claims, as well as a neutral (control) claim. Measured variables are introduced to assess participants' environmental commitment and information processing ability. A manipulated between-subjects variable is introduced to test how distraction interacts with preference for the claims.

    Findings - Overall, consumers prefer products with green claims over those with neutral (control) claims, and products with emotional green claims to those with rational green claims. The studies also reveal that this effect is moderated by participants' environmental commitment, information processing ability and by distraction. The findings were statistically significant (p<0.05).

    Research limitations/implications - As a lab experiment, the study provides limited generalizability and external validity. Practical implications - For most organic FMCG products, it is advisable to employ emotional packaging claims.

    Social implications - The presented findings provide marketers with tools to influence consumer behavior toward sustainable choices.

    Originality/value - The paper validates previous contributions on the effects of product claim types, and extends them by introducing comprehensive empirical data on all the Elaboration Likelihood Model's criteria for rational decision-making; motivation, opportunity and ability.

    Analysis of Changes in Running Technique Between a Shod and Barefoot Running Condition.2016Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 10 poäng / 15 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Lately, barefoot running has become popular and there is a debate on the pros and cons of barefoot running with regards to running injuries. Many factors are causing injuries and one of the factors discussed is the fact that we run in shoes. When we run in shoes the biomechanics of the running technique may and therefore be a possible cause to injury. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess how the foot strike pattern, angle of the knee and ankle joint at time of initial contact, as well as the step length changes between a shod and barefoot running condition in habitually shod runners when running in a pace equivalent to their running pace over ten kilometers. Method: Twenty-seven healthy runners (18 male, 9 female) were included in the study. The study took place at the fitness center of Halmstad University. Subjects ran on a treadmill, in an individual pace equivalent to their running pace over ten km, both in a shod and barefoot running condition. Two-dimensional analysis of the sagittal plane kinematics of the knee joint, ankle joint and foot position to horizontal, foot strike pattern and step length was done. Participants ran for ten minutes with shoes and for five minutes barefoot. Running technique was videotaped using an Iphone 6 camera and landmarks were marked with white tape to ease the analysis. Results: Changes in foot strike pattern was observed. When running barefoot 63% of the subjects adopted a non-heel strike pattern compared to 18.5% when shod (p=0.001). Knee flexion was increased at IC for the barefoot condition, with 164°±6 relative knee angle compared to 167°±6 when shod (p=0.001). Ankle angle at IC did not show a statistical significant difference between conditions (p=0.657). When barefoot the angle was 117°±8 compared to 115°±8 when shod. Foot angle to horizontal showed a flatter foot placement at IC with a less dorsiflexed foot for the barefoot condition (-4°±8) compared to shod (-12°±8), (p=0.001). Step length was decreased for the barefoot condition (0.82m ±0.15)   compared to shod (0.85m ±0.13), (p=0.008). Conclusion: Results are consistent with previous findings that barefoot running in some cases change the running technique with a flatter foot placement, an increased knee flexion at IC and a decreased step length. However, caution must be taken when habitually shod runners transition to barefoot running in regards to the biomechanical changes that may occur. To benefit from barefoot running a non-heel strike pattern is required. Further, the running technique may be the more important factor, regardless of wearing shoes or not.

    Machine learning in healthcare - a system’s perspective2019Ingår i: Proceedings of the ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Epidemiology meets Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (epiDAMIK) / [ed] B. Aditya Prakash, Anil Vullikanti, Shweta Bansal, Adam Sadelik, Arlington, 2019, s. 14-17Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    A consequence of the fragmented and siloed healthcare landscape is that patient care (and data) is split along multitude of different facilities and computer systems and enabling interoperability between these systems is hard. The lack interoperability not only hinders continuity of care and burdens providers, but also hinders effective application of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Thus, most current ML algorithms, designed to understand patient care and facilitate clinical decision-support, are trained on limited datasets. This approach is analogous to the Newtonian paradigm of Reductionism in which a system is broken down into elementary components and a description of the whole is formed by understanding those components individually. A key limitation of the reductionist approach is that it ignores the component-component interactions and dynamics within the system which are often of prime significance in understanding the overall behaviour of complex adaptive systems (CAS). Healthcare is a CAS.

    Though the application of ML on health data have shown incremental improvements for clinical decision support, ML has a much a broader potential to restructure care delivery as a whole and maximize care value. However, this ML potential remains largely untapped: primarily due to functional limitations of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and the inability to see the healthcare system as a whole. This viewpoint (i) articulates the healthcare as a complex system which has a biological and an organizational perspective, (ii) motivates with examples, the need of a system's approach when addressing healthcare challenges via ML and, (iii) emphasizes to unleash EHR functionality - while duly respecting all ethical and legal concerns - to reap full benefits of ML.

    The effect of ball temperature on ball speed and carry distance in golf drives2018Ingår i: Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, ISSN 1754-3371, Vol. 233, nr 2, s. 186-192Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ball temperature on impact ball speed and carry distance during golf drives in a blind randomized test design. The balls were exposed to a temperature-controlled environment (4 °C, 18 °C, 32 °C, and 46 °C) for 24 h prior to the test and each temperature group consisted of 30 balls. The 120 drives were performed by an elite male golfer (handicap: 0.0) in an indoor driving range. All drives were measured by a Doppler-radar system to determine the club-head speed, launch angle, spin rate, ball speed, and carry distance. Differences between the groups were investigated using a one-way analysis of variance. The results indicated that ball-speed and carry-distance differences occurred within the four groups (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). The post hoc analyses showed that the ball temperatures of 18 °C and 32 °C had greater ball speeds and carry distances than balls at 4 °C and 46 °C (all < 0.05). The intervals for the between-group differences were 0.6–0.7 m s 1 and 2.9–3.9 m for ball speed and carry distance, respectively. Hence, the results showed that ball temperature influences both the ball speed and the carry distance. Based on the findings in this study, standardization of ball temperature should be factored into governing body regulation tests for golf equipment. © IMechE 2018.

    Jack The Gripper: Fixationsplatta för typ 3-frakturer på scapula2017Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 10 poäng / 15 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA) is an increasingly common approach to treating different shoulder injuries. The rTSA results in increased force from m. deltoideus which originates from acromion. However, postoperative fractures on the scapula have occurred in some cases. These fractures are divided into 3 different types depending on where the fracture occurs. There is no recommended treatment for type 3 fractures. This project is a product development project with the purpose to find a solution to the fixation problem of type 3 fractures.To reach the project goal, the group has used well-known and proven product development methods, calculations, FEM analyzes and a model assembly analysis. The concept development was performed by interviewing orthopedics who have a lot of experience with rTSA and osteosynthesis related to these fractures. A prototype, which shows the features of the fixation plate, was made using 3D printers.The result of this project has provided a fixation plate that meets the groups requirements and has features that a modern fixation plate has today. In addition, two types of extra plates mounted on the fixation plate to the thin structure of spina scapula, was developed to counteract the axial force. The fixation plate shows excellent results on the FEM analyzes and assembly analysis performed on a scapula model. The prototype has also been given good testimonials from the orthopedics who participated in the project.

    Intelligenta beslutstöd och psykisk ohälsa: En kvalitativ studie om etiska utmaningar med Artificiell Intelligens som beslutstöd inom sjukvården för psykisk ohälsa2022Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 10 poäng / 15 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [sv]

    Sjukvården visar intresse för användning av Artificiell Intelligens (AI) och inom behandling för psykisk ohälsa finns behov för stöd. Intelligenta beslutsstöd kan bidra till minskad belastning för vårdpersonal och bättre behandling för patienter, men sjukvårdens känsliga natur och de konsekvenser som kan uppstå vid försummelse medför etiska utmaningar. Behandling av psykisk ohälsa är komplext och behöver utforskas för att identifiera de potentiella etiska utmaningar som kan uppstå. Genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie med åtta deltagare har området utforskats både bland AI-forskare och vårdpersonal, där insikter från båda kontexter har analyserats för att identifiera och utforska återkommande etiska utmaningar. Genom insamlad empiri och litteraturstudie har fem etiska utmaningar identifierats och utforskats: hantera felaktiga rekommendationer, hantera moraliska dilemman, uppnå patientautonomi, ansvarsdilemmat, och skapa förtroende.

    Pitfalls of medication adherence approximation through EHR and pharmacy records: Definitions, data and computation2020Ingår i: International Journal of Medical Informatics, ISSN 1386-5056, E-ISSN 1872-8243, Vol. 136, artikel-id 104092Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background and purpose: Patients’ adherence to medication is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon. Dispensation data and electronic health records are used to approximate medication-taking through refill adherence. In-depth discussions on the adverse effects of data quality and computational differences are rare. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the impact of common pitfalls when computing medication adherence using electronic health records.

    Procedures: We point out common pitfalls associated with the data and operationalization of adherence measures. We provide operational definitions of refill adherence and conduct experiments to determine the effect of the pitfalls on adherence estimations. We performed statistical significance testing on the impact of common pitfalls using a baseline scenario as reference.

    Findings: Slight changes in definition can significantly skew refill adherence estimates. Pickup patterns cause significant disagreement between measures and the commonly used proportion of days covered. Common data related issues had a small but statistically significant (p < 0.05) impact on population-level and significant effect on individual cases.

    Conclusion: Data-related issues encountered in real-world administrative databases, which affect various operational definitions of refill adherence differently, can significantly skew refill adherence values, leading to false conclusions about adherence, particularly when estimating adherence for individuals. © 2020 The Authors.

    Blood Simpling II: Making blood sampling simple2022Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (yrkesexamen), 15 poäng / 22,5 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [sv]

    Vid blodprovstagning förekommer det att problem och komplikationer uppstår. Det händer att blodprovstagningen helt misslyckas. Statistiskt sett misslyckas blodprovstagningen på första försöket för vuxna i 28 procent av fallen och för barn är motsvarande siffra 44 procent.

    Projektet utgick från det behov av hjälpmedel att utföra blodprovstagning som uppdragsgivarna Frida Svensson och Lisa Eliasson identifierade under sitt examensarbete från 2021. Syftet var att fortsatta deras arbete att utveckla en medicinteknisk produkt som underlättar vid blodprovstagning och föra den närmare marknaden.

    I syfte att föra produkten närmare marknaden var det projektgruppens mål att vidareutveckla produkten. Projektgruppen skulle färdigställa komponenterna var för sig och sedan sätta samman dem till en produkt. Produktens effekt är att den ökar chansen att lyckas med blodprovtagningen redan på första försöket. Det gör att det inte bara blir behagligare för patienten utan det sparar även på värdefull tid och engångsmaterial, vilket i längden leder till stora finansiella besparingar för vården.

    Resultatet av projektet blev en prototyp som gestaltar produkten Blood Simpling II vars funktioner gör att risken att komplikationer uppstår vid venös blodprovstagning minskar och samtidigt ökar produkten chansen att blodprovstagningen lyckas på första försöket. Genom det resultat som projektgruppen lyckades med uppfyllde de sitt syfte att föra produkten ett steg närmare marknaden. Text borttagen på grund av sekretess. Texten nämner produktens funktionalitet vars nyhetsvärde skyddas för att bevara patenteringsmöjligheten.

    Gait Event Detection in the Real World2018Doktorsavhandling, sammanläggning (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    Healthy gait requires a balance between various neuro-physiological systems and is considered an important indicator of a subject's physical and cognitive health status. As such, health-related applications would immensely benefit by performing long-term or continuous monitoring of subjects' gait in their natural environment and everyday lives. In contrast to stationary sensors such as motion capture systems and force plates, inertial sensors provide a good alternative for such gait analysis applications as they are miniature, cheap, mobile and can be easily integrated into wearable systems.

    This thesis focuses on improving overall gait analysis using inertial sensors by providing a methodology for detecting gait events in real-world settings. Although the experimental protocols for such analysis have been restricted to only highly-controlled lab-like indoor settings; this thesis presents a new gait database that consists of data from gait activities carried out in both, indoor and outdoor environments. The thesis shows how domain knowledge about gait could be formulated and utilized to develop methods that are robust and can tackle real-world challenges. It also shows how the proposed approach can be generalized to estimate gait events from multiple body locations. Another aspect of this thesis is to demonstrate that the traditionally used temporal error metrics are not enough for presenting the overall performance of gait event detection methods. The thesis introduces how non-parametric tests can be used to complement them and provide a better overview.

    The results of comparing the proposed methodology to state-of-the-art methods showed that the approach of incorporating domain knowledge into the time-frequency analysis of the signal was robust across different real-world scenarios and outperformed other methods, especially for the scenario involving variable gait speeds in outdoor settings. The methodology was also benchmarked on publicly available gait databases yielding good performance for estimating events from different body locations. To conclude, this thesis presents a road map for the development of gait analysis systems in real-world settings.

    Identification of Gait Events using Expert Knowledge and Continuous Wavelet Transform Analysis2014Ingår i: BIOSIGNALS 2014: Proceedings of the International Conference on Bio-inspired Systems and Signal Processing / [ed] Harald Loose, Guy Plantier, Tanja Schultz, Ana Fred & Hugo Gamboa, [S.l.]: SciTePress, 2014, s. 197-204Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Many gait analysis applications involve long-term or continuous monitoring which require gait measurements to be taken outdoors. Wearable inertial sensors like accelerometers have become popular for such applications as they are miniature, low-powered and inexpensive but with the drawback that they are prone to noise and require robust algorithms for precise identification of gait events. However, most gait event detection algorithms have been developed by simulating physical world environments inside controlled laboratories. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that robustly and efficiently identifies gait events from accelerometer signals collected during both, indoor and outdoor walking of healthy subjects. The proposed method makes adept use of prior knowledge of walking gait characteristics, referred to as expert knowledge, in conjunction with continuous wavelet transform analysis to detect gait events of heel strike and toe off. It was observed that in comparison to indoor, the outdoor walking acceleration signals were of poorer quality and highly corrupted with noise. The proposed algorithm presents an automated way to effectively analyze such noisy signals in order to identify gait events.

    In-situ time resolved spectrographic measurement using an additively manufactured metallic micro-fluidic analysis platform2019Ingår i: PLOS ONE, E-ISSN 1932-6203, Vol. 14, nr 11, artikel-id e0224492Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Introduction

    Microfluidic reactionware allows small volumes of reagents to be utilized for highly controlled flow chemistry applications. By integrating these microreactors with onboard analytical systems, the devices change from passive ones to active ones, increasing their functionality and usefulness. A pressing application for these active microreactors is the monitoring of reaction progress and intermediaries with respect to time, shedding light on important information about these real-time synthetic processes.

    Objective

    In this multi-disciplinary study the objective was to utilise advanced digital fabrication to research metallic, active microreactors with integrated fibre optics for reaction progress monitoring of solvent based liquids, incompatible with previously researched polymer devices, in combination with on-board Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy for real-time reaction monitoring.

    Method

    A solid-state, metal-based additive manufactured system (Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing) combined with focussed ion beam milling, that permitted the accurate embedment of delicate sensory elements directly at the point of need within aluminium layers, was researched as a method to create active, metallic, flow reactors with on-board sensing. This outcome was then used to characterise and correctly identify concentrations of UV-active water-soluble B-vitamin nicotinamide and fluorescein. A dilution series was formed from 0.01–1.75 mM; which was pumped through the research device and monitored using UV-vis spectroscopy.

    Results

    The results uniquely showed the in-situ ion milling of ultrasonically embedded optical fibres resulted in a metallic microfluidic reaction and monitoring device capable of measuring solvent solutions from 18 μM to 18 mM of nicotinamide and fluorescein, in real time. This level of accuracy highlights that the researched device and methods are capable of real-time spectrographic analysis of a range of chemical reactions outside of those possible with polymer devices.

    Hashsumman av din vård: En studie av blockkedjeteknikens möjligheter förjournalföring inom vården2023Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 10 poäng / 15 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [sv]

    Vårdens digitala system präglas idag av en hög komplexitet och saknar ensammanhållen standard. Ett ökat behov för digitalisering inom vården harlett till stora utvecklingar, men även nya utmaningar. Ett av de viktigastesystemen, som genomsyrar hela vårdsystemet, är patientjournalen.

    I detta arbete undersöks möjligheterna till att applicera en ny teknologi föranvändning inom den svenska vårdens informationshantering, blockkedjor. Blockkedjor har huvudsakligen använts för implementering avkryptovalutor men har, på grund av sina riktighet- och spårbarhetsgarantier,blivit alltmer vanlig för användning inom övrig informationshantering.

    Inledningsvis undersöks förutsättningarna som ett journalsystem ska levaupp till enligt säkerhetsprinciperna Konfidentialitet, Riktighet,Tillgänglighet och Spårbarhet. Intervjuer med områdeskunniga förjournalsystemen inom Region Halland och Region Stockholm belyser någraav de brister och utmaningar som finns inom vården idag. Informationsinhämtning från lagrum och föreskrifter lägger grunden till dekrav som ett journalsystem ska uppfylla.

    Efter den inledande undersökningen studeras litteratur kopplat tillimplementeringar av blockkedjor i syfte att hämta in information gällandeblockkedjans komponenter för vidare behandling. Här behandlas blandannat utvecklardokument, state-of-the-art och analyser relaterade tillblockkedjor.

    Slutligen bearbetas blockkedjetekniken ihop med journalsystemensförutsättningar och resulterar i en teoretisk modell av ett blockkedjesystemför användning som patientjournal inom den svenska vården.

    Slutsatsen dras att möjligheten för en praktisk implementering av denteoretiska modellen är möjlig, men att vården i dagsläget inte harförutsättningarna för ett omfattande systembyte till en relativt obeprövadteknologi.

    Abstract [en]

    The gold standard for gait analysis, in-lab 3D motion capture, is not routinely used for clinical assessment due to limitations in availability, cost and required training. Inexpensive alternatives to quantitative gait analysis are needed to increase the its adoption. Inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes are promising tools for the development of wearable gait analysis (WGA) systems. The present study evaluates the use of a WGA system on hip-arthroplasty patients in a real clinical setting. The system provides information about gait symmetry and normality. Results show that the normality measurements are well correlated with various quantitative and qualitative measures of recovery and health status.

    A wearable gait analysis system using inertial sensors Part I: Evaluation of measures of gait symmetry and normality against 3D kinematic data2012Ingår i: BIOSIGNALS 2012 - Proceedings of the International Conference on Bio-Inspired Systems and Signal Processing, [S. l.]: SciTePress, 2012, s. 180-188Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Gait analysis (GA) is an important tool in the assessment of several physical and cognitive conditions. The lack of simple and economically viable quantitative GA systems has hindered the routine clinical use of GA in many areas. As a result, patients may be receiving sub-optimal treatment. The present study introduces and evaluates measures of gait symmetry and gait normality calculated from inertial sensor data. These indices support the creation of mobile, cheap and easy to use quantitative GA systems. The proposed method was compared to measures of symmetry and normality derived from 3D kinematic data. Results show that the proposed method is well correlated to the kinematic analysis in both symmetry (r=0.84, p<0.0001) and normality (r=0.81, p<0.0001). In addition, the proposed indices can be used to classify normal from abnormal gait.

    Navmark - ett nytt sätt att rädda liv2023Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (yrkesexamen), 15 poäng / 22,5 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    Cancer is a tough disease and in some cases is difficult to treat, which leads to too many people dying. Of the cancer diagnoses made each year, 3.2 million of these are primary and secondary liver cancer. The world needs to be able to reduce these tragic outcomes and to be able to remove a liver tumor in a more patient-centered way.

    Today, resection of the liver is performed through an open operation, which entails a long and more painful recovery process for the patient compared to a keyhole surgery. The reason keyhole surgery is not used in these operations today is because the surgeon lacks sufficient visualization, which makes it difficult to navigate and remove the tumor with high precision. 

    Navari Surgical AB is therefore developing a solution that makes it possible to apply keyhole operations for liver cancer by increasing the visualization with Augmented Reality. For the technology to work, a single-use device must be attached to the liver surface and it then acts as a navigation marker in their overall solution. The mission has been to examine and develop a fastener for the single-use device that attaches to the liver and can be removed without damaging the surface. The fastener must also be able to maintain the same position throughout the operation, withstand the moist environment inside the abdomen and comply with the Medical Device Regulations.

    After research and several tests, the project was able to result in a working fastener, which is a specific hydrogel. Due to the fact that the hydrogel does not adhere to plastic, it will be attached to the single-use device with medical epoxy and a layer of carbon fiber film. Together, these components make up a complete and functioning product, called Navmark.

    Applying keyhole surgery for liver cancer with Navmark and Navari's technology has several advantages. First, together they increase the surgeon's visualization and localization of the tumor, which in turn increases the precision of the operation. Undergoing keyhole surgery, instead of open surgery, also results in fewer complications and shorter recovery time for the patient. By applying Navmark and Navari's technology, it will in the future be possible to carry out keyhole surgery for liver cancer in a minimally invasive and more patient-centered way, which in turn will be able to save lives.

    Elumo: - Smart bottenplatta för klivande rullstolar2022Självständigt arbete på grundnivå (yrkesexamen), 15 poäng / 22,5 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [en]

    Imagine a power wheelchair that can step over obstacles, step up on sidewalks and drive on lateral slopes whilst the user is still seated upright. Previously these features were impossible, but thanks to Elumo this is no longer the case. Elumo is a six-wheeled base to be used on electric wheelchairs. The base has been developed by Malin Svensson and Johan Olsson during their bachelor’s thesis at the Innovation Engineering Program at Halmstad University. The project took place between autumn 2021 and spring 2022.

     

    The development of Elumo started with several user studies conducted by the students, where over 70 wheelchair users responded to a survey concerning the everyday life of a person using wheelchairs. These users were later invited to a user workshop where they could list everyday complaints and possible improvements concerning existing power wheelchairs. One of the most common complaints was getting up on sidewalks and driving on uneven terrain.

     

    Both of these problems will be solved with the base Elumo. The technology that makes the stepping-feature and improved suspension possible, is patented by the company EMTW and the students have had a close cooperation with them during the development.

    Our goal is for “Elumo to become a new product that will focus on the user and will deliver innovative power wheelchairs that provide safety, independence and improve quality of life for people using wheelchairs.

    Evaluation of Micro-flaws in Metallic Material Based on A Self-Organized Data-driven Approach2016Ingår i: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM), IEEE conference proceedings, 2016Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Evaluating the health condition of a material that could potentially contain micro-flaws is a common and important application within the field of non-destructive testing. Examples of such micro-defects include dislocation, fatigue cracks or impurities and are often hard to detect. The ability to precisely measure their type, size and position is a prerequisite for estimating the remaining useful life of the component. One technique that was shown successful in the past is based on traditional ultrasonic testing methods. In most cases, inner micro-flaws induce slight changes of acoustic wave spectrum components. However, these changes are often difficult to detect directly, as they tend to exhibit features that are most naturally analyzed using statistical and probabilistic methods. In this paper we apply Consensus Self-Organizing Models (COSMO) method to detect micro-flaws in metallic material. This approach is essentially an unsupervised deviation detection method based on the concept of "wisdom of the crowd". This method is used to analyze the spectrum of acoustic waves received by the transducer attached on the surface of material being analyzed. We have modeled a steel board with micro-cracks and collected time-series of acoustic echo response, at different positions on material's surface. The experimental results show that the COSMO method is able to detect and locate micro-flaws. © 2016 IEEE

    Ethical Aspects of Implementing AI-Based Solutions to Predict Mortality in Emergency Departments: An Interview Study with Healthcare Professionals2022Självständigt arbete på avancerad nivå (masterexamen), 20 poäng / 30 hpStudentuppsats (Examensarbete)
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Artificiell intelligens (AI) förutspås vara en banbrytande lösning till att förbättra vården, detta genom en ökad effektivitet som sparar tid och resurser. Med följd av ökat intresse för AI har bristen på etiska principer fått stor uppmärksamhet av flera aktörer inom området. Forskning visar på att det är både brådskande och angelägen att klarlägga etiska konsekvenser relaterat till AI-baserade lösningar inom sjukvården. Främst anses det viktigt att belysas i en kaosartad miljö som en akutmottagning, där många beslut gällande liv och död fattas. De fem etiska principerna (autonomi, inte skada, göra gott, vara rättvis och vara förklarlig) räcker möjligtvis inte för att beskriva de ny etiska utmaningarna med AI. Därmed finns det ett ökat behov av att kartlägga olika aspekter av AI-baserade lösningar inom sjukvården. Syfte: Syftet var att utforska vårdpersonals perspektiv på de etiska aspekterna av att implementera AI-baserade lösningar för att förutsäga dödlighet på akutmottagningar. Metod: En semistrukturerad intervjustudie genomfördes med 18 deltagare, elva vårdpersonal och sju vårdchefer. En abduktiv analys gjordes för att finna teoretiska mönster genom att para ihop meningsbärande enheter med kategorier utformade från medicinsk etik som bygger på de fyra prima facie-principer (autonomi, inte skada, göra gott och vara rättvis) och förklarlighetsprincipen. Alla data som inte systematiskt kunde paras ihop med de redan existerande kategorierna fick en ny kategori. Med hjälp av en efterföljande analys jämfördes data för att ytterligare identifiera underkategorier. Resultat: Totalt tio underkategorier framkom för att svara på studiens syfte. Huvudresultatet i linje med de fem huvudkategorierna (autonomi, inte skada och göra gott, vara rättvis, vara förklarlig och professionell styrning) belyste vårdpersonals perspektiv på de etiska aspekterna av att implementera AI på en akutmottagning. Resultaten visade att de etiska aspekterna handlade om att dela information från en AI, resurser gentemot krav, tillhandahållandet av likvärdig vård, användning av AI som ett stödsystem, pålitlighet till AI, AI-baserad kunskap, professionell kunskap gentemot AI-baserad information och intressekonflikter i sjukvårdssystemet. Slutsats: Det finns ett behov att markera, att de etiska aspekterna av en AI-baserad lösning ur vårdpersonals perspektiv är mycket bredare än de etiska principerna inom prima facie-konceptet för medicinsk etik och förklaringsprincipen. Således måste de etiska aspekterna ses ur en bredare synvinkel för att täcka in nya situationer som sjukvårdspersonal kan möta i sin kliniska praxis när de arbetar med en AI-baserad lösning på akutavdelningar.
