3. 2. Food, body weight, and health among adolescents in the digital age: An explorative study from a health promotion perspective

   Författare :Christopher Holmberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hälsofrämjande arbete; Ungdomar; Digitala medier; Övervikt och Fetma hos ungdomar; Sociala medier; Obesity in adolescence; Youth; Social media; Health promotion; Digital media;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore adolescents’ relationship with food, body weight, and health communication in online digital media, as well as how adolescents experience participating in a health promotion intervention regarding food and physical activity habits. Health promotion as a research area served three purposes: to inform the research questions, to direct the data collection, and to identify implications from the research findings. LÄS MER

4. 3. Unobtrusive Activity Recognition in Resource-Constrained Environments

   Författare :Niklas Karvonen; Josef Hallberg; Kåre Synnes; Christopher Nugent; Susanna Pirttikangas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pervasive Mobile Computing; Distribuerade datorsystem;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses activity recognition from a perspective of unobtrusiveness, where devices are worn or placed in the environment without being stigmatising or in the way. The research focuses on performing unobtrusive activity recognition when computational and sensing resources are scarce. LÄS MER

5. 4. Study of DNA methylation in human pancreatic islets

   Författare :Elin Hall; Diabetes - epigenetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; type 2 diabetes; epigenetics; DNA mehtylation; human pancreatic islets; insulin secretion;

   Sammanfattning : Today type 2 diabetes is a common disease with a worldwide prevalence of 8.3%. The disease is characterised by hyperglycaemia which is a result of insufficient insulin secretion from the beta-cells in the pancreatic islets as well as an insulin resistance seen in the target tissues.

7. 5. Ultrasound and atherosclerosis. Evaluation of methods, risk factors and intervention

   Författare :Jerker Persson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; validation; ultrasound; reproducibility; progression; plaque; intima-media thickness; intervention; atherosclerosis; epidemiology; cardiovascular risk factors; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Sammanfattning : The importance of studying cardiovascular disease before the process leads to hard end-points has been recognised, and methods to quantify early atherosclerosis have been taken in use in many research centres around the world. An ultrasound method with a computer assisted image analysing system was developed in co-operation with the Wallenberg Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.
