  1. 6. Impact of deep brain stimulation in the caudal zona incerta on voice tremor and speech in persons with essential tremor

    Författare :Linda Sandström; Fredrik Karlsson; Patric Blomstedt; Lena Hartelius; Adam Vogel; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caudal zona incerta; deep brain stimulation; essential tremor; speech function; speech intelligibility; speech production; voice tremor;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a symptomatic treatment for people with essential tremor (ET) who have unsatisfactory tremor relief with pharmacological treatment alone. A common symptom of ET is voice tremor, but only about 50% of patients with voice tremor get a satisfactory result with DBS. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Voice function and quality of life in laryngectomees

    Författare :Elisabet Lundström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals who undergo laryngectomy, surgical removal of the larynx, loose their normal voice. The breathing pattern is altered to permanent tracheostomal breathing. A new voice can be established by use of a segment in the lower part of the pharynx and the most upper part of the esophagus, the pharyngo-esophageal (PE) segment. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Samvetets röst : Om mötet mellan luthersk ortodoxi och konservativ pietism i 1720-talets Sverige

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation deals with the encounter between Lutheran orthodoxy and conservative pietism 1720–1730. The aim has been to compare their views on society and man.In the pietistic conflict, orthodoxy gave rise to attitudes which proved to be key to its view on society and man. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The Voice Source in Speech Communication - Production and Perception Experiments Involving Inverse Filtering and Synthesis

    Författare :Christer Gobl; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Voice source dynamics; glottal source parameters; source-filter interaction; voice quality; phonation; perception; affect; emotion; mood; attitude; paralinguistic; inverse filtering; knowledge-based; formant synthesis; LF model; fundamental frequency;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores, through a number of production andperception studies, the nature of the voice source signal andhow it varies in spoken communication. Research is alsopresented that deals with the techniques and methodologies foranalysing and synthesising the voice source. LÄS MER

  7. 10. From Air to Aria. Relevance of Respiratory Behaviour to Voice Function in Classical Western Vocal Art

    Författare :Monica Thomasson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Abdominal wall; breathing; consistency; inhalation; lung volume; respiratory behaviour; phonation; rib cage; singers; singing; subglottal pressure; tracheal pull; vertical laryngeal position; voice source.;

    Sammanfattning : While previous studies of opera singers’respiratorybehaviour have focused on kinematic or dynamic aspects mainly,this thesis attempts to adopt a broader perspective. Not onlylung volumes, rib cage and abdominal wall kinematics areconsidered, but also the effects of lung volumes and respiratorybehaviour on phonation characteristics. LÄS MER
