Psychiatric readmission rates in a multi-level mental health care system – a descriptive population cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Readmission rates are frequently used as a quality indicator for health care, yet their validity for evaluating quality is unclear. Published research on variables affecting readmission to psychiatric hospitals ... -
Incrementally updating the high average-utility patterns with pre-large concept
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)High-utility itemset mining (HUIM) is considered as an emerging approach to detect the high-utility patterns from databases. Most existing algorithms of HUIM only consider the itemset utility regardless of the length. ... -
Study of waveguide background at visible wavelengths for on-chip nanoscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)On-chip super-resolution optical microscopy is an emerging field relying on waveguide excitation with visible light. Here, we investigate two commonly used high-refractive index waveguide platforms, tantalum pentoxide ... -
Large-Scale Agile Transformation: A Case Study of Transforming Business, Development and Operations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Today, product development organizations are adopting agile methods in units outside the software development unit, such as in sales, market, legal, operations working with the customer. This broader adoption of agile ... -
Agile Scalability Engineering: The ScrumScale Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)While agile methods have had a great uptake and impact in software engineering, managing non‑functional qualities still seems to be a challenge. We focus on the scalability of software systems and how this critical quality ... -
Phase error analysis of clipped waveforms in surface topography measurement using projected fringes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)When working with the method of projected fringes outside the optical laboratory one often encounters the problem of uncontrollable ambient light. This might cause saturation of the camera which in turn results in clipping ... -
Greener and smarter? Transformations in five Norwegian industrial sectors
(SINTEF Rapport;2020:01091, Research report, 2020)This report is an output from the INTRANSIT Research Centre on Innovation Policy for Industrial Transformation, Sustainability and Digitalisation. The report presents an analysis of green and digital transformations in ... -
A new dawn for (oil) incumbents within the bioeconomy? Trade-offs and lessons for policy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper develops a more detailed understanding of when incumbent actors may become the main locomotive driving energy transitions. It also illustrates the trade-offs between policy approaches that actively seek to involve ... -
Association between pulmonary function and peak oxygen uptake in elderly: the Generation 100 study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background Although reduced function of the respiratory system limits peak oxygen uptake in diseases affecting the lungs or airways, the healthy respiratory system is thought to have a spare capacity for oxygen transport ... -
Understanding coordination in global software engineering: A mixed-methods study on the use of meetings and Slack
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Given the relevance of coordination in the field of global software engineering, this work was carried out to further understand coordination mechanisms. Specifically, we investigated meetings and the collaboration tool ... -
Emotion recognition using speech and neural structured learning to facilitate edge intelligence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Emotions are quite important in our daily communications and recent years have witnessed a lot of research works to develop reliable emotion recognition systems based on various types data sources such as audio and video. ... -
Microdosimetry with a 3D silicon on insulator (SOI) detector in a low energy proton beamline
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An accurate description of the radiation quality of proton beams is a precondition to increase our understanding of radiobiological mechanisms and to develop accurate biological response models for radiotherapy. However, ... -
Promoting good policy for leadership and governance of health related rehabilitation: a realist synthesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background Good governance may result in strengthened performance of a health system. Coherent policies are essential for good health system governance. The overall aim of this research is to provide the best available ... -
Data-driven quasi-interpolant spline surfaces for point cloud approximation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this paper we investigate a local surface approximation, the Weighted Quasi Interpolant Spline Approximation (wQISA), specifically designed for large and noisy point clouds. We briefly describe the properties of the ... -
Improving Safety by Learning from Automation in Transport Systems with a Focus on Sensemaking and Meaningful Human Control
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Automated transport systems are deployed in many areas and transport modes. The predominant engineering perspective has been to automate as much as possible and minimize human interaction. However, a balanced integration ... -
In-line and non-destructive monitoring of core temperature in sausages during industrial heat treatment by NIR interaction spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)During industrial heat treatment of food products, the core temperature is a critical control parameter with respect to food quality and in particular food safety. This paper presents a novel prototype system based on ... -
