Kontekstbasert arbeids- og informasjonsorganisering
1999
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 1999 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad I denne oppgaven ble først begrepet kontekstbasert arbeids- og informasjonsorganisering posisjonert i forhold til relaterte fagområder. Begrepet kontekstbasert arbeids- og informasjonsorganisering fantes ikke som frittstående begrep i den teorien som ble undersøkt. De ulike fagområdene behandlet i varierende grad problemstillinger relatert til kontekstbasert arbeids- og informasjonsorganisering. Knowledge Management ble funnet som det fagområdet som hadde mest fellestrekk med begrepet. For å kunne klassifisere ulike kontekster ble en del parametre vurdert. De som ble funnet best egnet, basert på vurd…
Overføring av prosessdata via WAP
2000
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2000 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Denne oppgaven ser på mulighetene for å overføre prosessdata via en WAP-telefon. Prosessdataen som skal overføres er et EKG-signal. EKG er et signal som beskriver forandringer i elektrisk aktivitet på hjertet. En WAP-telefon skal i denne oppgaven fungere som en alarm som en hjertepasient hele tiden har med seg. Dersom pasienten slår alarm, skal WAP-telefonen hente ut pasientens EKG fra en database og sende disse til en alarmsentral, der det skal være mulig og følge pasientens utvikling. Et EKG signal har en båndbredde fra 0-150 Hz. Det er mulig å kode dette signalet i forskjellige formater. Disse for…
Evaluation of OSA API's for 3rd party developers of Telco-services
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Changes in business models introduce new actors to the telecom business. A set of new demands occurs and to handle this, a technical enabler like OSA is needed. Telenor R&D, which often provides Telco services in research projects, must form an opinion concerning this framework. Thus an evaluation of OSA is inquired. This thesis presents an introduction and evaluations of the OSA framework, further, a closer look at two of the OSA API’s (User Status and Terminal Capabilities) are made. To enhance the evaluation, Youngster has been utilized as an example of where the OSA framework can be used. An impl…
A Generative Adversarial Network approach using Latent Space Manipulation for Clothing Display on Synthetic Images Using the latent space of an non-p…
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The Fashion industry is continuously inventing new clothing. A significant bottleneck when introducing newly designed clothing to the market is advertisements. This thesis looks into the possibility of streamlining this bottleneck through the automated manipulation of clothing onto generated humans. A common problem in Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is the black-box nature of the generated re-sults. Meaning a user has no direct input on the traits of images produced. GANs are capable of exceptional levels of "creativity" when utilizing its generator to create novel results. For instance, it is possible to project a…
Simulated testing in mobile datacom systems (GPRS/UMTS) : postgraduate thesis information and communication technology
2000
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2000 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The assignment described in this thesis is given by Ericsson AS and gives an evaluation of simulation and testing tools used in their development projects. Since Ericsson wants to change their testing process the task was to evaluate and suggest a solution to how this could be done. In order to make testing available for all developers it was required to run tests independent of hardware. Thus they wanted to simulate the hardware resources. Originally, the intention was to use the test environment used otherwise in Ericsson. This proved to cause many problems because the project became dependent of o…
3D Convolution Neural Networks for Medical Imaging; Classification and Segmentation : A Doctor’s Third Eye
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT591) In this thesis, we studied and developed 3D classification and segmentation models for medical imaging. The classification is done for Alzheimer’s Disease and segmentation is for brain tumor sub-regions. For the medical imaging classification task we worked towards developing a novel deep architecture which can accomplish the complex task of classifying Alzheimer’s Disease volumetrically from the MRI scans without the need of any transfer learning. The experiments were performed for both binary classification of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) from Normal Cognitive (NC), as well as multi class classification between the three st…
Influencer e diversità della pelle
2021
Ce travail s’appuie sur une série d’entretiens semi-directifs conduits avec des patientsatteints de nævus géant congénital (une maladie dermatologique rare) et les associationsimpliquées dans leur accompagnement psycho-social. Les résultats mettent en exerguel’importance des rencontres face-à-face et de l’appartenance à un groupe de pairs dans leprocessus d’acceptation et de normalisation de la différence corporelle. L’étude montre enoutre une segmentation des pratiques et des logiques de représentation de la rareté dansles différentes arènes. L’espace associatif, en ligne et hors ligne, transpose la logique de lacoopération et le renforcement de l’expertise des usagers du système sanitaire…
Impaired Binding to Junctophilin-2 and Nanostructural Alteration in CPVT Mutation
2021
Rationale: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare disease, manifested by syncope or sudden death in children or young adults under stress conditions. Mutations in the Ca 2+ release channel/RyR2 (type 2 ryanodine receptor) gene account for about 60% of the identified mutations. Recently, we found and described a mutation in RyR2 N-terminal domain, RyR2 R420Q . Objective: To determine the arrhythmogenic mechanisms of this mutation. Methods and Results: Ventricular tachycardias under stress conditions were observed in both patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and knock-in mice. During action potential recording (by patch-clamp in …
Evaluation of Erythema Severity in Dermatoscopic Images of Canine Skin: Erythema Index Assessment and Image Sampling Reliability.
2021
The regular monitoring of erythema, one of the most important skin lesions in atopic (allergic) dogs, is essential for successful anti-allergic therapy. The smartphone-based dermatoscopy enables a convenient way to acquire quality images of erythematous skin. However, the image sampling to evaluate erythema severity is still done manually, introducing result variability. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the most popular erythema indices (EIs) and dermatologists’ erythema perception, and we measured intra- and inter-rater variability of the currently-used manual image-sampling methods (ISMs). We showed that the EIBRG, based on all three RGB (red, green, and blue) channe…
Functional C1-inhibitor diagnostics in hereditary angioedema: Assay evaluation and recommendations
2008
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by recurrent episodes of potentially life-threatening angioedema. The most widespread underlying genetic deficiency is a heterozygous deficiency of the serine protease inhibitor Cl esterase inhibitor (C1-Inh). In addition to low C4 levels, the most important laboratory parameter for correct diagnosis of HAE or angioedema due to acquired C1-Inh deficiency is reduced C1-Inh function (fC1-Inh). No direct recommendations about the assays for fC1-Inh or sample handling conditions are available, although this would prove especially useful when a laboratory first starts to offer assays on fC1-Inh for HAE diagnosis. In the p…
