  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. PRO-POOR PLANNING: A Tool for Strategic Territorial Planning and a Conceptual Framework Drawn from Studies in Colombia and Costa Rica

    Författare :Carlos de la Espriella; Boende och bostadsutveckling; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Poverty Reduction; Statistical Information; Social Housing; Urban Governance; Urbanization; Poverty Impact Assessments; Poverty Mapping; Local Authorities; Poverty; Integrated Urban Planning; Inequality; Geographic Information Systems; Decentralization; Costa Rica; Census Microdata; Colombia; Urban Residential Segregation; Urban Planning;

    Sammanfattning : Few planning practices in the South seem to be equipped with key concepts and technical, empirical and administrative capacities required to comprehend and visualize the phenomenon of poverty at inter- and intra-urban levels, which compromises their ability to inform decision-makers on the effects on poverty reduction of the land-based actions they design, implement and monitor. This challenge was addressed from conceptual, technical, empirical, and administrative angles, which correspond to the research objectives. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial photosynthesis; water oxidation; photochemistry; electrochemistry; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the development of complexes that are active catalysts for H2O oxidation. Promoting proton-coupled electron transfer has been a highly important feature in the development of these catalysts. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Investigation of Aerodynamic Resistance of Rotating Wheels on Passenger Cars

    Författare :Alexey Vdovin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wheel forces; ventilation resistance; rim design; aerodynamic moment; wheel aerodynamics;

    Sammanfattning : With the current conditions of rising fuel prices and the toughening of environmental legislation for CO2 and other emission gases, vehicle manufacturers around the world are looking into the ways to make their vehicles more energy efficient and therefore more environmentally friendly. One of the ways to achieve this goal is to improve aerodynamic design of vehicles in order to decrease aerodynamic resistance forces. LÄS MER
