    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; class; demography; family; gender; labour force participation; living arrangements; modernisation; Norrköping; old age; poor relief; Stockholm; Sundsvall; Older people and ageing; Äldre och åldrande; Social welfare social pedagogics; Social omsorg socialpedagogik; Social anthropology; Socialantropologi; caring sciences in social sciences; omvårdnadsforskning med samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : This study deals with the impact of industrialisation and urbanisation on the living conditions of aged men and women. By studying labour force participation, savings and pensions, the role of the family, and the extent of dependency of aged men and women from a gender and class perspective, continuities and changes between pre-industrial and industrial times are examined.

  3. 2. On User Involvement in Research on Ageing and Health

    Författare :Joakim Frögren; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Digital health; Housing provision; E-health; Dementia; Ageing in place; Built environment; Decision support; Housing accessibility; Housing and health; Research circle; Trade-offs; Planning; Public health; User involvement; Sweden; Older people; Ageing and older people; Mild Cognitive Impairment;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the perceptions of, prerequisites for and benefits of user involvement among older people, persons with functional impairments and other user groups important to the research area. By using an adapted conceptual tool to categorize the various user involvement studies comprising the thesis, the aim wasalso to reflect on the importance of study design for the outcomes of the user involvement, and thus to contribute to the development of generalizable knowledge and cumulative knowledge in research on ageing and health.

  4. 3. Everyday Mobility and Travel Activities during the first years of Retirement

    Författare :Jessica Berg; Jan-Erik Hagberg; Marianne Abramsson; Lena Levin; Kerstin Westin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ageing; retirement; mobility; travel activities; place; time-geography; interviews; travel diaries; qualitative longitudinal analysis; åldrande; pensionering; mobilitet; resande; aktivitet; plats; tidsgeografi; intervjuer; resdagböcker; kvalitativ longitudinell analys; 11 Road: Personal transport;

    Sammanfattning : Mobility is central to living an independent life, to participating in society, and  to maintaining well-being in later life. The point of departure in this thesis is that retirement implies changes in time-space use and interruption in routines, which influence demands and preconditions for mobility in different ways.

  5. 4. Volumetric Analysis in Mechanical Behaviour and Physical Ageing of Polymers

    Författare :Mats Delin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ageing rate; Gr neisen parameter; bulk modulus; KAHR model; dilatometry; Poisson s ratio; timescale; physical ageing; dynamic mechanical properties; stress relaxation; volume changes; creep; Doolittle s equation;

    Sammanfattning : Volumetric changes associated with the deformation of ideal elastic solids depends on elastic constants of the solid and applied strain. Their magnitude is easily determined from the corresponding Poisson's ratios. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Architecture and Ageing : On the Interaction between Frail Older People and the Built Environment

    Författare :Jonas E Andersson; Magnus Rönn; Eva Henriksen; Benyamin Scwarz; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; residential care home architecture; architecture competition; user values and planning considerations; appropriate space for ageing; homelikeness; societal building;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis deals with the type of architecture that materializes when age-related problems become a long-term condition (LTC) and gradually restrain the individual’s ability to perform activities in daily life (ADL). Their life situation necessitates a support from relatives or municipal eldercare staff in order for them to continue to participate in everyday living. LÄS MER
