    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Physics-based modeling; Electric Vehicle EV ; Battery lifetime tests; Hybrid Electric Vehicle HEV ; Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle PHEV ; Calendar aging;

    Sammanfattning : Electrification of vehicles is one solution in reducing emissions from the transport sector, and in particular to limit tail-pipe emissions in cities. In order to make the electrification successful and cost effective, there is a high demand for longer drive range and longer battery lifetime. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Dopamine, decision-making, and aging : neural and behavioural correlates

    Författare :Lieke de Boer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : On any given day, we make tons of decisions. These can be as simple as deciding how to dress or what to eat, or more complex, such as whether to spend or invest money. Good decision-making involves being able to select the best alternative from a range of options, and adjust one’s preferences based on what is happening in the environment. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation aims at analyzing mindfulness as a concept and a multidimensional phenomenon in its historic and primordial but also contemporary contexts. In the course of examining this more general question, this dissertation targets four specific objectives: 1) classifying existing definitions of mindfulness, 2) critically analyzing and interpreting the Buddhist and Western interpretations and practices of mindfulness, 3) elaborating on the social and existential dimensions of mindfulness, and 4) applying these dimensions in advancing the notion of mindful sustainable aging in the context of successful aging.

  7. 15. Behavioral changes and mechanisms : an experimental study on aging in rodents

    Författare :Andreas Fahlström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In paper I, we studied alterations in behavior with advancing age in female C57BL/6 mice (of Jackson origin). In parallel, growth and survival data were collected. In a protected environment the median survival age was 32 months. Our behavioral data show that aging modulates certain aspects of basic behavior in a continuous manner. LÄS MER
