  1. 1. Drum sound from floor coverings - objective and subjective assessment

    Författare :Ann-Charlotte Johansson; Teknisk akustik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; hydraulik; Maskinteknik; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; hydraulics; acoustic standard; Mechanical engineering; tapping machine; veneer flooring; parquet flooring; binaural recording; foot impact; loudness; sound quality; listening test; paired comparisons; walking sound; drum sound; building acoustics; psychoacoustics; laminate flooring;

    Sammanfattning : Drum sound is the sound produced when an object, such as a foot, hits the flooring in the room in which the receiving ear is located. Drum sound has attracted interest in recent years, particularly due to an increased use of thin floating floor constructions, such as veneer or laminate flooring, which can produce loud and sharp walking sound.

    Nyckelord :amputation; complications; diabetes mellitus; diabetic foot ulcers; documentation; education; healing; home care; neuropathy; nursing; nursing process; peripheral vascular disease; pressure ulcer; prevention; RCT;

    Sammanfattning : Amputation in patients with diabetes mellitus preceded by a foot ulcer is a serious complication. Patients with the highest risk of developing a foot ulcer are often found in home nursing settings. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Foot-Ankle Joints Responses. Epidemiology, Biomechanics and Mathematical Modeling

    Författare :Chantal S. Parenteau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical models; biomechanics; range of motion; ankle injury; injury mechanisms; ligament failure; center of rotation; ankle and subtalar joints; ankle fracture;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to acquire better knowledge of foot-ankle injuries because of their increasing importance in car crashes. Three approaches were used: epidemiology, biomechanics and mathematical modeling. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Networks and epidemics - impact of network structure on disease transmission

    Författare :Jenny Lennartsson; Uno Wennergren; Annie Jonsson; Meggan Craft; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural sciences; Naturvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The spread of infectious diseases, between animals as well as between humans, is a topic often in focus. Outbreaks of diseases like for example foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, and swine influenza have in the last decades led to an increasing interest in modelling of infectious diseases since such models can be used to elucidate disease transmission and to evaluate the impact of different control strategies.

  7. 5. Acute Achilles tendon rupture: The impact of physiological and psychological factors on function and return to activity

    Författare :Unnur Saedis Jónsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; Return to activity; Biomechanics; Kinetics; Qualitative study; Rehabilitation;

    Sammanfattning : Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a full return to physical activity after an Achilles tendon rupture. About 20% of those who sustain the injury do not return to their previous level of physical activity. Although the reasons for this have been examined, no definitive conclusion has been reached.
