Brukertilfredshet i et elektronisk pasientjournalsystem – hva påvirker brukertilfredsheten? : Hva påvirker ansatte på et sykehus i Sør–Norges brukert…

2019

Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 InnledningEtter hvert som befolkningen i Norge blir eldre og sykere er det et behov for informasjon om den enkelte pasient i helsevesenet. I Norge per i dag er det ingen felles journalløsninger som dekker alle nivåer i helsevesenet. Dette fører til at de som trenger informasjon ikke alltid har den nødvendige tilgangen. Det brukes forskjellige systemer avhengig av helseforetak, sykehus, kommune og lignende. På et sykehus i Sør –Norge brukes den elektroniske pasientjournalen (EPJ) DIPS, hvor alle nyansatte får opplæring før de gis tilgang til å dokumentere i DIPS. Denne studien forsøker å belyse opplæringens betydni…

Comparative Molecular Evolution of Primary (Buchnera) and Secondary Symbionts of Aphids Based on Two Protein-Coding Genes

2001

A+T content, phylogenetic relationships, codon usage, evolutionary rates, and ratio of synonymous versus non-synonymous substitutions have been studied in partial sequences of the atpD and aroQ/pheA genes of primary ( Buchnera) and secondary symbionts of aphids and a set of selected non-symbiotic bacteria, belonging to the five subdivisions of the Proteobacteria. Compared to the homologous genes of the last group, both genes belonging to Buchnera behave in a similar way, showing a higher A+T content, forming a monophyletic group, a loss in codon bias, especially in third base position, an evolutionary acceleration and an increase in the number of non-synonymous substitutions, confirming pre…

Cloning and sequencing of the dnaK region of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)

1993

Abstract The dnaK homologue of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) strain M145 has been cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 2.5-kb region revealed an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a predicted DnaK protein of 618 amino acids (Mr = 66 274). The dnaK coding sequence displays extreme codon bias and shows a strong preference for CGY and GGY, for Arg and Gly codons, respectively. The predicted DnaK sequence has a high Lys:Arg ratio which is not typical of streptomycete proteins. The region immediately downstream from dnaK contains an ORF for a GrpE-like protein; the predicted start codon of grpE overlaps the last two codons of dnaK, indicating that the two genes are translationa…

Integrating usability work into a large inter-organisational agile development project: Tactics developed by usability designers

2015

We examined how usability activities were integrated in a large inter-organisational agile development project.The collaboration between the usability designers and agile team members was affected by the size and nature of the project.Results showed integration was achieved through 5 tactics employed by the usability designers.Three propositions for organising usability activities in agile projects were derived. In this paper we examine the integration of usability activities into a large inter-organisational agile development project. Inter-organisational agile projects possess unique attributes. They involve multiple stakeholders from different organisational contexts and are thus charact…

A proposal to elicit usability requirements within a model-driven development environment

2014

[EN] Nowadays there are sound Model-Driven Development (MDD) methods that deal with functional requirements, but in general, usability is not considered from the early stages of the development. Analysts that work with MDD implement usability features manually once the code has been generated. This manual implementation contradicts the MDD paradigm and it may involve much rework. This paper proposes a method to elicit usability requirements at early stages of the software development process such a way non-experts at usability can use it. The approach consists of organizing several interface design guidelines and usability guidelines in a tree structure. These guidelines are shown to the an…

FACEBOOK ADDICTION? UNO STUDIO SU STILI RELAZIONALI E CARATTERISTICHE DISFUNZIONALI IN SOGGETTI CON DIVERSE TIPOLOGIE DI UTILIZZO DEL SOCIAL NETWORK

Background: Previous studies on individual characteristics related to Facebook usage seems to support that active Facebook users are more likely to be higher in attachment anxiety or in extraversion, but specific interpersonal profiles of individual’s Facebook usage are still missing in the literature. The aims of the current study were: a) to investigate whether there is a specific interpersonal profile of Facebook users, and b) to explored the contribution of participants’ personality and interpersonal relationship characteristics on their profile group membership. Methods: We investigated a group of 811 subjects (aged from 17 to 61 years) with questionnaires measuring personality traits,…

The lost mother tongue : An interview study with Finnish war children

2015

This article presents the third study of an interview investigation concerning 10 Finnish war children who were evacuated during the World War II to Sweden and who did not return to live in Finland after the war. The focus is on how they remembered or did not remember their early experiences of displacement and on how they expressed thoughts about their childhood and their adult life. We found that all of them as adults still bore signs of trauma. The younger the children were at the time of the evacuation, the more difficult or even impossible it was for them to think or fantasize about the past. It was consequently not possible for them to work through their experiences of loneliness, abs…

Video sharing application for educational use: Usability and impacts of participation modes

2014

For the past few years, the use of video lectures in universities has been on the increase. Production of video lectures will bring flexibility that is needed for study and enable the utilization of pedagogical solutions based on new videos. On the other hand, applications for the sharing and use of lecture videos clearly designed for educational requirements are not available. This article introduces an application for the sharing and use of videos. The application was designed and implemented for educational purposes, and it has been in use already for two years. The article examines, with the help of a SUS survey, students' and lecturer's satisfaction with the application and its usabili…

2006

Understanding evolutionary processes that drive genome reduction requires determining the tempo (rate) and the mode (size and types of deletions) of gene losses. In this study, we analysed five endosymbiotic genome sequences of the gamma-proteobacteria (three different Buchnera aphidicola strains, Wigglesworthia glossinidia, Blochmannia floridanus) to test if gene loss could be driven by the selective importance of genes. We used a parsimony method to reconstruct a minimal ancestral genome of insect endosymbionts and quantified gene loss along the branches of the phylogenetic tree. To evaluate the selective or functional importance of genes, we used a parameter that measures the level of ad…
