The software crisis haven’t been handled completely after its appearing 30 years ago. Why is it? Many scientists and enterprises consider that the lack of the formal, effective technology and method of software quality management is the primary reason. The total quality management has become a integrated theory with the developing of the socialization production. Many international standard and...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the association between quality of care and technical (productive) efficiency in institutional long-term care wards for the elderly. SETTING One hundred and fourteen public health centre hospitals and residential homes in Finland. STUDY DESIGN Wards were divided into two categories according to their rank in the quality distribution, considering 41 quality variables sep...

PURPOSE The aim of this audit was to evaluate the technical quality of undergraduate de novo endodontic competence cases in the Dublin Dental University Hospital (DDUH) compared to European standards. MATERIALS AND METHODS A radiographic analysis of the number of canals in student 'competence' cases (completed 2009-2010) that met the accepted technical criteria for an ideal root canal treatme...

BACKGROUND The delivery of healthcare depends on individual providers, coordination within teams, and the structure of the work setting. We analyzed the amount of variation in technical quality and patient satisfaction accounted for at the patient, provider, team, and medical center level. METHODS Data abstracted from Veterans Health Administration patient medical records for 2007 were used t...

BACKGROUND Previous reports indicate that worldwide, the technical quality of root canal fillings is poor. There are few reports from sub-Saharan Africa and none yet from Nigeria where most patients access treatment from non-specialists especially at general dental clinics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical quality of root canal fillings done in a general dental clinic with em...

This paper presents the results of an observational study that investigates the di↵erences between two widely used software development frameworks for Java EE applications. Also, it presents the accumulation of Technical Debt and the evolution of code quality metrics of software developed using these frameworks. Considering that web applications hold the lion’s share of today’s IT industry, thi...

UNLABELLED Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is emerging as a promising technology for profiling cell-to-cell variability in cell populations. However, the combination of technical noise and intrinsic biological variability makes detecting technical artifacts in scRNA-seq samples particularly challenging. Proper detection of technical artifacts is critical to prevent spurious results during downs...
