1. 1. Characteristics of the functional independence measure in patients with neurological disorders. Measurement through Rasch analysis

   Författare :Åsa Lundgren Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :rehabilitation; assessment; measurement; stroke; traumatic brain injury; spinal cord injury; Rasch; item response theory;

   Sammanfattning : The Functional Independence Measure (FIMTM) is an internationally widely used outcome measure, measuring disability in terms of dependence or need of assistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural characteristics of FIMTM using the Rasch model, with regard to scoring function, cross-cultural validity in Europe and cross-diagnostic validity within rehabilitation units in Scandinavia.

3. 2. Daily life after stroke in elderly people. Evaluation of stroke unit care focusing on daily activities, resource use and costs, assistive devices and health-related quality of life

   Författare :Gunilla Gosman-Hedström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Stroke unit; randomization; longitudinal study; resource use and cost; informal care; elderly; occupational therapy; daily activities; Functional Independence Measure; construct validity; assistive devices; housing modifications; health-related quality of life;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall aims of this thesis were: a) to compare stroke unit (SU) care and its continuum with care on general wards (GW) for elderly patients, concerning resource use and costs for care and rehabilitation focusing on assistive technology in a one-year follow-up and, b) to explore the use and cost of assistive devices (ADs), ability in daily activities and self-rated health-related quality of life (HRQL) longitudinally.Methods: Two hundred and forty-nine persons >70 years were followed in a randomized, prospective study evaluating SU care after acute stroke.

4. 3. Analysis and development of strategies for magnetic resonance functional neuroimaging

   Författare :Peter Fransson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :neuroimaging; human brain; functional activation; magnetic resonance imaging; cerebral blood oxygenation;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on strategies for oxygenation-sensitive MRI that are designed to measure alterations in brain physiology induced by changes in neuronal activity. In a first study, it was shown that the temporal evolution of BOLD MRI signal changes in response to both brief and sustained visual activation are equally well visible in FLASH and EPI recordings.

5. 4. Traffic Light System-BasicADL (TLS-BasicADL) Development, reliability, validity, clinical utility and patient perspective

   Författare :Gillian Asplin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Outcome measures; Physiotherapy; ADL; reliability; validity; hip fracture; patient participation; functional balance; physical performance; patient experience; qualitative content analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: To describe the development of Traffic Light System-BasicADL (TLS-BasicADL), and procedures to establish properties of reliability, validity, clinical utility and patient perspective. TLS-BasicADL measures the patient’s ability to perform basic activities of daily living. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Privacy mechanism design; Leakage matrix; Strong privacy criterion; KL-divergence; Local approximation; Euclidean information geometry; Privacy-utility trade-off; χ2-privacy criterion; l1-privacy criterion; Common information; Functional representation lemma; Two-part construction coding; Design av sekretessmekanism; Läckagematris; Stark sekretesskriterium; KL-divergens; Lokal approximation; Euklidisk informationsgeometri; Sekretess-nyttoavvägning; χ2-sekretesskriterium; l1-sekretesskriterium; Gemensam information; Lemma för funktionell representation; Kodning med tvådelad konstruktion.; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Privacy mechanism design is an important research area and is receiving increased attention in recent years. This field focuses on addressing the challenge of revealing general data that might have correlations with sensitive information, all while protecting this sensitive information against unauthorized access.
