The effect of learning and cost optimization on line of balance scheduling by Zahran, Kareem Essam

“…Furthermore, a hypothetical case study was applied to verify the developed approach and to prove that the model gives accurate results. The developed tool proved to provide the planner/scheduler with near optimum costs, durations, and resources due to applying learning and cost/time optimization. …”

Optimizing learning & teaching on paediatric ward rounds by Mantzor, Savarra

“…The aim of this study was to improve the quality of ward round learning and teaching for University of Botswana medical trainees working in the Department of Paediatrics at Princess Maria Hospital in order to enhance their self-efficacy beliefs regarding their ability to provide paediatric patient care. Specifically, we utilized a threepronged approach to 1) improve trainees' participation in, and sense of belonging to, a local community of clinical practice, 2) introduce a structured bedside teaching model, and 3) promote a favourable clinical learning environment, all of which we postulated could improve trainees' selfefficacy beliefs. …”

Pharmacometrics to characterize pharmacokinetics and optimize treatment in understudied populations by Gebreyesus, Manna Semere

“…In this thesis, I apply pharmacometrics for understudied populations with limited data across various therapeutic areas, including: optimizing dose of cefazolin, an antibiotic used forsurgical site infection prophylaxis, in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; optimizing dose of rifabutin, an antibiotic used for TB, during lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-co treatment in children with TB-HIV co-infection; showcasing a model-based adherence monitoring tool using enalapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor for hypertension and heart failure, in a small cohort of African heart failure patients, and characterizing pharmacokinetics of esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor for hyperacidity and being investigated for preeclampsia, in patients with preterm preeclampsia. …”
