  3. 2. Modeling framework for ageing of low alloy steel

    Författare :Magnus Boåsen; Pål Efsing; Jonas Faleskog; Carl F. O. Dahlberg; Christian Niordson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Low alloy steel; length scale effects; size effects; plasticity; cleavage fracture; brittle fracture; weakest link; ageing; weld metal; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Ageing of low alloy steel in nuclear applications commonly takes the form as a hardening and an embrittlement of the material. This is due to the evolution of the microstructure during irradiation and at purely thermal conditions, as a combination or separate. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A population-based study on neuropsychological and morphological signs of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

    Författare :Otto Lilja-Lund; Lars Nyberg; Martin Maripuu; Katarina Laurell; Magnus Tisell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; cognition; dual-task; ageing; temporal horns; morphology; memory; executive function; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is typically manifested in people over 65 years. The condition of gait disturbances, incontinence, and cognitive dysfunction can be reversed in up to 80% of the cases by ventricular shunting. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Independent Ageing in Very Old Swedish Men

    Författare :Kristin Franzon; Lena Kilander; Björn Zethelius; Tommy Cederholm; Jan Marcusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Independent ageing; survival; sarcopenia; comorbidity; body mass index; smoking; dietary pattern; dietary biomarkers; longitudinal; octogenarians; nonagenarians; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Predictors for survival have been investigated thoroughly, but less is known about how to reach high age with preserved physical and cognitive function. These functions are crucial to stay independent in daily life, which is highly valued by the oldest old.This thesis was based on data from the Uppsala Longitudinal Study in Adult Men. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Assessment of cognition in ageing. Investigating internal validity, occurrence and reversion of Mild Cognitive Impairment. Data from the general population study “Good Aging in Skåne”

    Författare :Marie Claire Overton; Geriatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ageing; Older adults; Cognition; validity; test administrator effects; cohort effects; Mild cognitive impairment;

    Sammanfattning : Given a growing population of older adults and the common occurrence of natural as well as pathological cognitive decline, i.e. dementia, there is a need to better understand how to accurately measure and classify level of cognitive functioning. LÄS MER
