  1. 1. “Life is for living” : exploring thriving for older people living in nursing homes

    Författare :Rebecca Baxter; David Edvardsson; Hugo Lövheim; Anders Sköldunger; Sabine Björk; Lisbeth Fagerström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thriving; well-being; nursing home; older people; nursing; phenomenological hermeneutics; psychometric evaluation; cross-sectional; longitudinal; personcentred care; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Demand for formal care in nursing homes has steadily increased in recent decades, prompting calls for exploration of health-promoting and salutogenic concepts that support people not only to survive in older age, but to thrive. The concept of thriving has been described as a holistic experience of place-related well-being resulting from interactions between the person and their lived-environment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Using an Artificial Ecosystem to Understand Living Ecosystems

    Författare :Yu Liu; David Sumpter; Philip Gerlee; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Biology; Mathematical Modeling; Emergence; Ecosystem Evolution; Community Ecology; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Sammanfattning : Community ecosystems at very different levels of biological organization often have similar properties. Coexistence of multiple species, cross-feeding, biodiversity and fluctuating population dynamics are just a few of the properties that arise in a range of ecological settings. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Biological Insights from Single-Particle Tracking in Living Cells

    Författare :Arash Sanamrad; Johan Elf; Måns Ehrenberg; Achillefs Kapanidis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-particle tracking; intracellular diffusion; nucleoid exclusion; transcription-translation coupling; antibiotics; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Single-particle tracking is a technique that allows for quantitative analysis of the localization and movement of particles. In this technique, trajectories are constructed by determining and connecting the positions of individual particles from consecutive images. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Liquid metal microscale deposition for soft and stretchable skin-like electronics : Providing a soft and gentle contact to living beings

    Författare :Bei Wang; Klas Hjort; Zhigang Wu; Magnus Berggren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laser patterning; sacrificial mask; liquid metal; strain sensor; skin movement; masking; shrink film; 3D conformal masking; liquid metal particles; soft electronics; stretchable electronics; compliant electronics; skin-like electronics; epidermal electronics; micro-heater; particle sintering; enteroendocrine cells; localized ectopic expression; wettability; flexography printing; conformal transfer printing; hydro printing; plant physiology; drosophila;

    Sammanfattning : Skin-like electronics could provide a soft and gentle contact with living beings for perceiving and delivering the information of pressure, strain, temperature with higher spatial resolution and sensitivity than our skin, without disturbing the user. Gallium-based liquid metal (LM) is an excellent material for soft and stretchable skin-like devices, since it has high electrical and thermal conductivity, flowability, and self-healable capability.

  7. 5. Modelling collective movement and transport network formation in living systems

    Författare :Arianna Bottinelli; David Sumpter; Renaud Lambiotte; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; animal collective behaviour; transport networks; crowd dynamics; complex systems; ants; fish; Tillämpad matematik och statistik; Applied Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : The emergence of collective patterns from repeated local interactions between individuals is a common feature to most living systems, spanning a variety of scales from cells to animals and humans. Subjects of this thesis are two aspects of emergent complexity in living systems: collective movement and transport network formation. LÄS MER
