Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Electronic reporting is an important part of all national eGovernment initiatives. XML4DR is a standard based on XML, proposed by a consortium funded by the European Commission. An application used for reporting from municipalities to central government has been developed by Comfact AB. A platform independent application will allow each municipality to freely chose tools such as browser, text processor and operating system. A platform independent application will rely on either open standards or a set of vendor specific pieces of code for the deviation form the standard. In this thesis I have evaluat…
An evaluation of compression and streaming techniques for efficient transfer of XML documents with Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
2003
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad In SOAP, the entire XML object is generated on the server before it is returned to the client. This puts unnecessary strain on server systems in terms of both memory and CPU. The objectives are to find why SOAP does not allow streaming of responses, possible solutions to the problem and outline alternative transfer methods. Furthermore, compression techniques for a streaming SOAP environment are evaluated, as well as performance of streaming versus an alternative method of data retrieval. The feasibility study concluded that SOAP itself allows streaming of responses, but the HTTP binding does not. Th…
Digital maps on the web, and accessibility
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The necessity of location information and knowing where you are at any time, have brought foreword the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Graphic Information System (GIS) have since the 1980s grown to be used in all kinds of relations. Combining both GPS and GIS solutions have been used for some time now and we have seen it used for navigation at sea. Using the wireless net also mobile phones and Personal Data Assistants can take advantage of this technology. This assignment enlightens different GIS solutions and how any user can use them. The report is a result of the investigation and will…
En lokasjonsavhengig reiselivstjeneste : drøfting av nøyaktighet, bruksområde og tjenestekvalitet
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Denne oppgaven har diskutert hvilken nøyaktighet, hvilket bruksområde og hvilken tjenestekvalitet som det er behov for i forbindelse med mobile lokasjonsbaserte tjenester. Den har til slutt anbefalt noen forbedringer til reiselivsapplikasjonen, Travel Assistant. Arbeidet har blant annet omfattet en test og evaluering av dagens cellebaserte posisjoneringsmetode, CGI + TA. Resultatet av dette, viste at denne metoden har store begrensninger med tanke på hvilke tjenester som kan tilbys av tredje part. Hovedårsaken til dette var den høye konsentrasjonen av store bygninger i de aktuelle områdene. Videre ha…
Estrategias icónicas en las comedias mitológicas de Calderón
2015
El artículo explora el tópico horaciano «ut pictura poiesis», que tan buenos resultado ha ofrecido sobre el análisis de los textos calderonianos, pero no solo: también incorpora la relación de otras artes (música, escenografía, etc.) para estudiar el complejo entramado de las comedias mitológicas de Calderón que fueron representadas en entornos cortesanos. De este modo, la autora rastrea las interacciones artísticas existentes entre obras de destacada importancia como la fiesta palaciega “La fiera, el rayo y la piedra”, “La púrpura de la rosa” o “El hijo del sol, Faetón”. This paper explores the Horacian topic «ut pictura poiesis» which has offered such good results on the analysis of calde…
How Finnish companies use social media in China, and are cultural differences taken into account?
2015
Tässä Pro Gradu työssä tutustutaan Kiinan sosiaaliseen mediaan ja siihen, kuinka suomalaiset yritykset hyödyntävät kiinassa satavilla olevia sosiaalisen median palveluita. Kiinassa pääsy länsimaisiin sosiaalisen median palveluihin (esim. Facebook ja Twitter) on estetty, mutta tarjolla on vastaavia palveluita, kuten Sina Weibo. Nykyisessä taloustilanteessa, kun Euroopan talous alkaa vasta pikkuhiljaa toipua velkakriisistä ja Amerikassakin kasvu on vielä hidasta sub-prime -kriisin jäljitä, tarjoaa Kiina yrityksille hyviä mahdollisuuksia liiketoiminnan kasvatta- miseen. Kiina on nopeasti kasvava ja kehittyvä yhteiskunta, jossa kulutus on kasvussa. Siksi yritysten kannattaa tutkia mahdollisuuks…
Computertomographie der Atelektase
1987
After breathing pure oxygen, total atelectasis of one lung was produced in ten dogs; its development and regression was followed by CT and by conventional radiology. 30 seconds after cessation of ventilation, it was possible to show a rise in CT density of the atelectatic lung from -764 +/- 32 HU to -739 +/- 49 HU. The average time from the cessation of ventilation to total atelectasis averaged 5.5 +/- 1.1 minutes. The earliest sign on conventional radiographs was often seen after 30 seconds and usually after 60 seconds and consisted of mediastinal displacement. Extensive atelectasis regressed in only one out of six animals within one hour after resuming ventilation. The experimental method…
Preoperative Considerations on the Thorax: Anatomy and Surgical Landmarks
2020
The thoracic wall is the higher part of the thorax consisting of a musculoskeletal structure including the mediastinum, the pleuropulmonary cavities, viscera, lymphatic, vascular, and nervous structures. Its dimensions are influenced by age, gender, and life style including physical training. It changes constantly in shape and size according to respiration: Generally, males show an abdominal pattern while females have usually a thoracic respiration pattern. The anatomy of the chest differs between men and women, with considerable variations among different ages and races. The skin is thicker in male than in female. In the male thorax, hair is frequently present and the mammary glands are un…
Performance of Finnish biobanks in nationwide pulmonary carcinoid tumour research
2019
Finnish hospital-integrated biobanks administer millions of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples collected within the clinical diagnostics. According to the Finnish Biobank Act, these samples can be coupled with patients’ clinical follow-up data and the data retrieved from national health registries. We collected a nationwide pulmonary carcinoid tumour series from Finnish biobanks to study prognostic factors as well as to explore how the number of tumours found in the Finnish biobanks corresponds to the number of tumours registered by the Finnish Cancer Registry (FCR). Finnish biobanks identified 88% of the tumours registered by the FCR and were able to deliver 63%. The main reas…
Survival rate of odontogenic descending necrotizing mediastinitis. Our experience in last 5 years
2022
Descending necrotising mediastinitis is one of the most lethal and least frequent forms of mediastinitis. It is a life-threatening infection most frequently originating from an oropharyngeal or odontogenic infection. A retrospective study of 6 patients diagnosed and treated for descending necrotising mediastinitis between 2015 and 2020 is reported. All patients were male, mean age of 34.83 years; 66% were smokers. 83% had an orocervical infection and 34% had initial mediastinal spread. All patients were treated initially with empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgical drainage, with subsequent admission to the Intensive Care Unit; only one of them required tracheostomy. The mean hosp…
