  1. 1. Active workstations : a NEAT way to prevent and treat overweight and obesity?

    Författare :Frida Bergman; Tommy Olsson; Ann Sörlin; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Patrik Wennberg; Fredrik Öhberg; Mats Börjesson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; treadmill workstations; sedentary behaviour; light-intensity physical activity; non-exercise activity thermogenesis; office workers; obesity;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Modern society is triggering sedentary behaviours in different domains. Different strategies can be used to reduce the time spent sitting and increase physical activity in the office environment, which is one domain where sedentary time is often high. One such strategy could be to install treadmill workstations. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Active school transportation : Understanding the parental decision-making process

    Författare :Hanna Forsberg; Stina Rutberg; Anna-Karin Lindqvist; Lars Nyberg; Maria Hagströmer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Active commuting to school; children; health promotion; parents; theory of planned behavior; physical activity; social norms; Physiotherapy; Fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Few children and adolescents reach the recommended levels of daily physical activity. This trend is evident in the countries examined in this thesis: Sweden and Spain. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Active Matter in a Critical State: From passive building blocks to active molecules, engines, and active droplets

    Författare :Falko Schmidt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; active matter; nonequilibrium; self-assembly; microswimmers; nanomotors; optical tweezers; colloidal molecules; active droplets; critical Casimir forces;

    Sammanfattning : The motion of microscopic objects is strongly affected by their surrounding environment. In quiescent liquids, motion is reduced to random fluctuations known as Brownian motion. Nevertheless, microorganisms have been able to develop mechanisms to generate active motion. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Towards energy efficient protocols for active RFID

    Författare :Björn Nilsson; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RFID; active RFID; protocol; back-off; carrier sense; energy efficient; wireless networks; active tag; energy consumption; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The absence of a global standard is a bottleneck when using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This thesis explores data communication protocols for Active-RFID regarding their energy efficiency and how they can be suited to fit a large variety of applications. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Active University : Studies of Contemporary Swedish Higher Education

    Författare :Sara Karlsson; Lars Geschwind; Anette Kolmos; Huisman Jeroen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Teknikvetenskapens lärande och kommunikation; Education and Communication in the Technological Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, contemporary universities and their response to external pressure are studied. The term “the active university” is put forward as an analytical tool. The active university “acts” in two ways: by taking concrete initiatives and by playing a role. LÄS MER
