1. 16. Upper limb assessment and treatment in cerebral palsy

   Författare :Izabela Blaszczyk; Mikael Wiberg; Louise Rönnqvist; Ann van Heest; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebral palsy; upper limb; botulinum toxin type A; upper limb surgery; side effects; thumb assessment; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Cerebral palsy (CP) is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders caused by fetal or infant brain damage that often involves deficits in upper limb (UL) posture and function. Knowledge about effective methods of assessment and treatment of UL in CP is not extensive. In this thesis, different aspects of these two are explored. LÄS MER

3. 17. Reliability Assessment and Probabilistic Optimization in Structural Design

   Författare :Rami Mansour; Mårten Olsson; Xioping Du; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability-based design optimization RBDO ; First- and Second-Order Reliability Method FORM and SORM ; Response Surface Single Loop RSSL ; Probability of failure; Reliability Assessment; Probability of fatigue failure; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

   Sammanfattning : Research in the field of reliability based design is mainly focused on two sub-areas: The computation of the probability of failure and its integration in the reliability based design optimization (RBDO) loop. Four papers are presented in this work, representing a contribution to both sub-areas. LÄS MER

4. 18. Career as an experiential learning voyage : Development of experiential assessment methodology in a lifelong learning context

   Författare :Jens Graff; George Tesar; Ron Mahieu; Bo Lemar; Marin Marinov; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Experiential learning; competence; recruitment; assessment methodology; lifelong learning; lifewide learning; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This research is in the management discipline, more specifically in human resource management concerned with staffing. It examines a relatively new phenomenon: career changes by a special cadre of individuals who have advanced education and training, perhaps a doctoral degree in sciences, humanities, or engineering, and who, at the dusk of their careers, became entrepreneurial and strive to switch from an executive position in business to an academic post or vice versa.

5. 19. Exploring dementia care dyads' person transfer situations from a behavioral medicine perspective in physiotherapy : development of an assessment scale

   Författare :Charlotta Thunborg; Anne Söderlund; Petra von Heideken Wågert; Ann-Britt Ivarsson; Anne Berman; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Behavioral medicine in physiotherapy; Care dyad; Dementia; Intervention; Scale development; Transfer problems; Vårdvetenskap; Nursing Science; Geriatrik; Geriatrics;

   Sammanfattning : Individuals who suffer from severe dementia require assistance when performing activities of daily living. The highly important person transfer situation is influenced by complex, intertwined biopsychosocial factors that are related to the expression of personal, environmental and behavioral variables, which can interfere with the performance of dementia-care dyads' transfer situations.

7. 20. Fatigue Assessment of Cast Components : Influence of Cast Defects

   Författare :Anders Björkblad; Jack Samuelsson; Gary Marquis; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cast nodular iron; fatigue; design rules; fracture mechanics; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning :  This thesis is on the fatigue assessment of cast components with special attention to defects. The primary material in view is nodular cast iron, but also cast steel is considered. However, the fatigue behaviour is in principle valid for general use on other cast metals. LÄS MER
