1. 1. Physical activity assessed by accelerometry in children

   Författare :Andreas Nilsson; Karin Piehl-Aulin; Ulf Ekelund; Gareth Stratton; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; activity patterns; adolescents; health promotion; activity monitor; sedentary; Medicine; Medicin; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Sammanfattning : Physical activity (PA) is likely to constitute an important aspect of health-related behaviour in growing children. However, the knowledge on levels and patterns of PA in children is limited, due to the difficulty of precisely measuring this complex behaviour in normal daily living. LÄS MER

4. 3. Aspects of physical activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis : associations with inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors

   Författare :Kristina Hörnberg; Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Björn Sundström; Christina Helging Opava; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physiotherapy; rheumatoid arthritis; cardiovascular disease; aerobic capacity; physical activity; exercise; primary prevention;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), partially attributable to systemic inflammation and traditional risk factors for CVD. Since physical activity (PA) is strongly related to CVD in the general population, the aim of this thesis was to describe aspects of PA in patients with RA, and further to analyse associations with disease activity, traditional risk factors for CVD and subclinical atherosclerosis.

5. 4. Nanomaterials for membranes and catalysts

   Författare :Stylianos Nassos; Sven Järås; Carina Lagergren; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanotechnology; microemulsion; nanoparticles; hydrogen production; CO2 capture; selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia; activity; gasified biomass; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Nanotechnology is a relatively new research topic that attracts increasing interest from scientists and engineers all over the world, due to its novel applications. The use of nanomaterials has extended to a broad range of applications, for example chemical synthesis, microporous media synthesis and catalytic combustion, contributing to achievement of improved or promising results.

7. 5. A 6 month physical activity intervention in university staff : effectiveness and health outcomes : the ASUKI Step Study

   Författare :Ali Soroush; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :physical activity;

   Sammanfattning : Physical inactivity is regarded a major public health concern and regular physical activity (PA) has been considered as an important lifestyle modification to improve health and prevent chronic disease. Setting the goal at walking 10,000 steps/day as a moderate-intensity form of aerobic PA has been advised to have beneficial health effects in the research and practice areas. LÄS MER
