  1. 1. Getting Work Done : The Significance of the Human in Complex Socio-Technical Systems

    Författare :Rebecca Cort; Anders A. Jansson; Jessica Lindblom; Ann Blandford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; work; work practice; socio-technical system; workscape; workplace studies; ethnography; distributed cognition; activity theory; operational train traffic; manufacturing; human-computer interaction; HCI; safety-critical domain; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of the role and relevance of the worker in the functioning of complex socio-technical systems. The perspective adopted is profoundly human-centred and the worker is considered as a resource. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Beyond the Force: Redefining load exposure assessments of nutrunners for improved power tool ergonomics

    Författare :Ava Mazaheri; Linda Rose; Mikael Forsman; Romain Haettel; Joel Cort; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power Tools; Nutrunners; Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders; Risk Assessment; Load Exposure; Assembly Work; Monteringsverktyg; Mutterdragare; Arbetsrelaterade Muskuloskeletala Besvär; Riskbedömning; Belastningsexponering; Monteringsarbete; Teknik och hälsa; Technology and Health;

    Sammanfattning : Reaction force exposure from handheld tightening tools (also known as nutrunners) constitutes an acknowledged contributor to musculoskeletal disorders among assembly operators, and are today not regulated by explicit limits. The research presented in this thesis aimed at contributing to the development of recommended exposure limits for, and assessments of, reaction loads from handheld right-angle and pistol-grip tightening tools.

  4. 3. Genetic alterations in Scandinavian neuroblastoma tumors

    Författare :Katarina Ejeskär; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroblastoma; loss of heterozygozity; deletion; 1p; 3p; CDC2L1; TP73; CORT; FHIT;

    Sammanfattning : The results presented here derive from our efforts to find genes and chromosomal regions of interest in the formation and progression of the childhood tumor neuroblastoma.Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Identification and characterization of candidate genes for neuroblastoma development

    Författare :Cecilia Krona; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cancer; tumor; child; embryonal; neural crest; neuroblastoma; chromosome 1; 1p36; mutation; expression; tumor suppressor gene; UBE4B; KIF1B; PGD; CORT; DFFA; PEX14; ICAT; CASP9; ENO1; MBP1; APITD1; PHOX2B;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common tumor during infancy. It arises from undifferentiated cells in the sympathetic nervous system and is characterized by both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. One of the features of NBs with unfavorable outcome is loss on distal chromosome 1p. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Physiological and Environmental Processes Influencing Growth Strategies in Amphibian Larvae

    Författare :Emma Dahl; Anssi Laurila; Felicity Huntingford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; growth; growth strategies; amphibians; latitudinal gradient; growth hormone GH ; corticosterone CORT ; breeding phenology; compensatory growth; compensatory strategies; Biology; Biologi; Biologi med inriktning mot populationsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Population Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Cost and benefits of high individual growth rates are likely to vary across different environments leading to geographic differentiation in growth strategies. In ectotherms, habitats constrained by short growing seasons favour rapid growth and development leading to adaptive latitudinal clines in these traits. LÄS MER
