Clinical and Biological Patterns in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare malignant tumors, of which 3/4 are high-grade and 1/3 metastasize. For optimal management, STSs should be treated at multidisciplinary sarcoma centers. Study I demonstrated that simple referral guidelines, an open-access outpatient clinic and repeated educative …

Management of Complex Sociotechnical Systems
Sociotechnical systems (STSs) rely on the collaboration between humans and autonomous decision-making units to fulfill their objectives. Highly intertwined social and technical contextual factors influence the collaboration between these human and engineered elements, and consequently the …

Production Pressure in Complex Socio-Technical Systems: Analysis, Measurement, and Prediction
… and safety, in sociotechnical systems (STSs). This research mainly focuses on production pressure (PrP) which is considered as one of the main negative outcomes of overprioritizing the efficiency aspect of STSs. This work seeks to introduce novel methodologies for assessing PrP in real …

NEW INSIGHTS INTO PATHOGENESIS AND PROGNOSIS OF CANINE SARCOMAS
… cutaneous and subcutaneous soft tissue sarcomas (STSs), as well as visceral sarcomas, with a special focus on canine perivascular wall tumors (cPWTs) and splenic stromal sarcomas (SSSs). The introduction is followed by the description of four distinct investigations. The first study analysed the …

Biochemical and Immunological Mechanisms Underlying Differential Interaction of Superantigens with Host Immunogenetic Factors in Streptococcal Sepsis
… from pharyngitis to streptococcal toxic shock (STSS), which is caused by excessive cytokines responses triggered by streptococcal superantigens (Strep SAgs). SAgs interact simultaneously with HLA class II molecules on antigen presenting cells (APC) and with the T cell receptor beta chain …

Parallel-to-Grain Withdrawal Resistance of Structural Self-Tapping Screws in Canadian Timber
… lag screws, the CCMC 13677-R Report equation for STSs, and the ETA-11/0196 equation for STS. In its un-factored form, the CSA O86 equation for lag screws was the best at predicting withdrawal resistance of the STSs inserted parallel-to-grain.

Enhancing Safety in Critical Monitoring Systems: Investigating the Roles of Human Error, Fatigue, and Organizational Learning in Socio-Technical Environments
… complex safety-critical socio-technical systems (STSs) operate in an environment that requires high levels of human-machine interaction. Given the potential for catastrophic events , understanding human errors is a critical research area spanning disciplines such as management science, cognitive …

Holistic Security Requirements Engineering for Socio-Technical Systems
… to such systems as Socio-Technical Systems (STSs). Finding secure solutions for STSs is a difficult and error-prone task because of their heterogeneity and complexity. The thesis proposes a holistic security requirements analysis framework which catego- rizes system security concerns into …
