  3. 2. Diagnostic accuracy of the clinical examination compared to available reference standards in chronic low back pain patients

    Författare :Mark Laslett; Gunnar Németh; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : It is often stated that most cases of persistent low back pain are diagnostically indeterminate. Diagnostic accuracy estimates are obtained by comparing the results of clinical tests with diagnostic reference standards. Although data is available from past research, most commonly used clinical tests have not been evaluated in validity studies. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Workplace Ethics : Some practical and foundational problems

    Författare :Anders J Persson; Sven Ove Hansson; Matti Häyry; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; Ethics; contract of employment; ethics; ethical criteria; health and safety standards; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen; Philosophy;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis is twofold: first, to analyse some practical ethical problems that stem from the workplace and the working environment and to offer guidelines concerning how such problems can be solved; second, to illuminate how the specific nature of work and the working environment is intimately connected to the relation between the employee and the employing entity, as set forth in an employment contract, and how the form and content of such contracts are, among other things, determined by culturally and socially established ideas. The normative question to be addressed is thus: which of these ideas should be maintained? This can be seen as a second-order, or more fundamental, ethical question whose answer depends on determining which normative principles are right. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Design and Characterization of D-band Monolithic Direct Carrier Modulator and Demodulator Circuits for High Speed Wireless Communication

  7. 5. Performance Assessment of Long Combination Vehicles using Naturalistic Driving Data

    Författare :Abhijeet Behera; Sogol Kharrazi; Erik Frisk; Mats Jonasson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The deployment of long combination vehicles (LCVs) is currently in progress in Sweden. LCV refers to heavy vehicles that are longer than 25.25 m, which is the conventional length limit in Swedish regulations. LCVs reduce operational costs, improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emission per ton-km. LÄS MER
