  1. 1. Experiences of standing in standing devices : voices from adults, children and their parents

    Författare :Birgitta Nordström; Eva Brogren Carlberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik;

    Sammanfattning : Studies concerning standing in standing devices have mainly focused on the biological effects of standing on the body, such as preventing bone loss, increasing or maintaining ankle dorsiflexion, improving bone density and reducing spasticity. Little is known about the psychosocial dimensions of standing. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Duties to Past Persons : Moral Standing and Posthumous Interests of Old Human Remains

    Författare :Malin Masterton; G. Mats Hansson; T. Anna Höglund; Søren Holm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; posthumous interests; moral standing; missing subject; archaeology; human remains; rights; dead; interests; Practical philosophy; Praktisk filosofi; Bioetik; Bioethics;

    Sammanfattning : Genetic research has increasing power to analyse old biological remains. Biological traces of well-known historical persons can reveal personal information. The aim of this thesis is to investigate ethical concerns for the dead, within the biological, historical and archaeological sciences. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Neural control of standing posture

    Författare :Craig Tokuno; Andrew Cresswell; Alf Thorstensson; Marc Carpenter; Thomas Sinkjær; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology; Posture; motor cortex; electromyography; kinematics; H-reflex; pre-synaptic inhibition; transcranial magnetic stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : When humans are asked to stand normally, they are not completely motionless. Rather, small amounts of body movement, termed postural sway, can be observed. Although the postural sway of standing has been well described, the manner in which this sway is neurally controlled and its influence in tasks involving postural re-stabilization are not known.

  4. 4. Ventilation distribution in the lung periphery measured by inert gas washout : influence of increased gravity, anti-G suit pressure, body posture, and breathing pattern

    Författare :Mikael Grönkvist; Göran Hedenstierna; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :acceleration; anti-G suit; body posture; cdi; dcdi; human centrifuge; He; hypergravuty; lung; multiple-breath washout; single-breath washout; SF 6; standing; supune; trapped gas; ventilation distribution; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The lung is highly sensitive to forces of gravity and acceleration, and to surrounding pressures. This thesis aimed to assess the effects on ventilation distribution in peripheral lung units when changing the direction or magnitude of the gravitational vector and when compressing the lower body half with an anti-G suit (AGS).

  5. 5. Acoustic Standing Wave Manipulation of Particles and Cells in Microfluidic Chips

    Författare :Andreas Lenshof; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustic particle manipulation; separation; ultrasound; cell handling; particle handling; lab on a chip; Microsystem technology; microfluidics; standing waves;

    Sammanfattning : The rise of MEMS and µTAS techniques has created a whole new family of microfluidic devices for a wide range of chemical and biomedical analyses to be performed on small Lab-on-a-chip platforms. The operations often include small samples of particle or cell suspensions on which separation, mixing, trapping or sorting is performed. LÄS MER
