  1. 11. Communication in the context of acute pain : Persuasion or validation?

    Författare :Johan Carstens Söderstrand; Steven Linton; Katja Boersma; Tamar Pincus; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Acute pain; communication; validation; reassurance; expectations for recovery; catastrophizing; recall; misdirected problem solving; psycho-logical flexibility;

    Sammanfattning : Historically, the dominating theoretical framework for communication in the context of acute pain is reassurance. An inherent assumption of this framework is that the person in pain needs to have their fears and doubts removed and be educated, or persuaded, that the pain problem is not dan-gerous. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Finite Element Modeling of the Human Head

    Författare :Svein Kleiven; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Finite element method FEM ; Human head; brain; head injury; epidemiology; statistics; simulations.;

    Sammanfattning : The main objectives of the present thesis were to define the dimension of head injuries in Sweden over a longer period and to present a Finite Element (FE) model of the human head which can be used for preventive strategies in the future. The annual incidence of head injuries in Sweden between 1987 and 2000 was defined at over 22 000, cases most of which were mild head injuries. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Observations on Operating System Security Vulnerabilities

    Författare :Stefan Lindskog; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer security; operating system; vulnerability; intrusion; experiment; modeling; analysis; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents research on computer security vulnerabilities in general-purpose operating systems. The objective is to investigate intrusions in such systems in order to find and model the underlying generic weaknesses, i.e., weaknesses that would be applicable to many different systems. LÄS MER

  5. 14. I Don’t Want to Hear It : Cognitive Control Strategies in Response to Task-Irrelevant Sound

    Författare :Örn Kolbeinsson; Hugo Hesser; Erkin Asutay; Louise McHugh; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive control; Emotion regulation; Auditory distraction; Mental suppression; Ironic processes; Auditory perception; Kognitiv kontroll; Emotionsreglering; Auditiv distraktion; Mental suppression; Ironiska processer; Auditiv perception;

    Sammanfattning : An adequate capacity for cognitive control, the ability to maintain goal-directed behavior despite conflicting environmental demands, is a requirement for effective functioning. Whether it be the capacity to delay gratification or to effectively regulate emotions, various types of cognitive control allow us to function effectively despite the enormous complexity encountered in everyday life.

  7. 15. Optically poled fibers for electro-optic applications

    Författare :Joao Manoel Barbosa Pereira; Fredrik Laurell; Walter Margulis; Stavros Pissadaki; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis shows the development of optically poleddevices for use in electro-optic experiments. In the form of papers published,it describes three optical poling methods: green light poling (Paper I), poling with a UV lamp (Paper II), and corona discharge poling (Paper V). LÄS MER
