In response to growing critiques of the economic growth-centered model of development, post-growth approaches have been suggested as having potential to address various social-ecological crises. However, key uncertainties remain regarding the inner dynamics of such a society and the transition towards it; degrowth policy proposals often lack precis...

Im produzierenden Gewerbe stellen Materialflusssimulationsstudien ein hilfreiches Werkzeug für die Entscheidungsfindung in der Planung, Umsetzung und im Betrieb von Produktionssystemen dar. Während der Entwicklung der zugehörigen Simulationsmodelle treten oft Anforderungsänderungen auf. Im Bereich der Softwareentwicklung werden sogenannte agile Met...

Background: Effective Decision Making on the resources of the ED plays a significant role in the performance of the department. Since wrong decisions can have irreparable consequences on the quality of services, the decision-makers should analyze and allocate the resources effectively. Methods: The present study aimed to investigate the effective r...
Widespread screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) has reduced its incidence and mortality. Previous studies investigated the economic effects of CRC screening. We performed a systematic review to provide up-to-date evidence of the cost effectiveness of CRC screening strategies by answering 3 research questions. We searched PubMed, National Institute...
Pump and treat (PAT) is one of the commonly used techniques for groundwater remediation in which the contaminated groundwater is pumped, treated, and put back to the aquifer system or other sources. For an effective PAT system design, simulation-optimization (S/O) models are very useful; the simulation model helps in predicting the spatial and temp...

Ce travail de thèse s'intéresse aux conséquences organisationnelles de l'introduction de nouvelles technologies " majeures " qui provoquent un " changement fondamental " dans l'entreprise. Nous posons la question du succès (ou de l'échec) de la mise en place d'une nouvelle technologie de l'information (TI) en tentant de mieux comprendre la dyn...
When advising policy we face the fundamental problem that economic processes are connected with uncertainty and thus policy can err. In this paper we show how the use of simulation models can reduce policy errors. We suggest that policy is best based on socalled abductive simulation models, which help to better understand how policy measures can in...
