Kapitlet beskriver rehabiliteringsteknikens bidrag till hur vi kan tänka om äldre och teknik som främjar ett modernt äldreliv och ger exempel på hur äldres erfarenheter och behov kan vara utgångspunkten för utvecklingen av produkter och tjänster.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Autoimmuna sjukdomar är tillstånd där vårt immunförsvar angriper den egna kroppen. Det finns ett flertal sådana sjukdomar av vilka jag huvud-sakligen har intresserat mig för rheumatoid artrit (RA) och multipel skleros (MS). De behandlingar som finns för de drabbade är idag främst riktade mot ergonomi, smärtlindring och olika former av immunsupres-sion (tex TNFa antikropThe causes of autoimmune diseases are largely unknown today, but there is evidence supporting a substantial complex genetic influence on many of these diseases as well as environmental factors and chance. In this thesis I have tried to get one step closer to the genetic causes of two autoimmune diseases through their induced counterparts in mice, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scler

Denna avhandling handlar om teoretisk partikelfysik. Partikelfysik handlar om elementarpartiklar och hur dessa växelverkar med varandra, dvs vilka krafter som verkar mellan dem. Detta är hur materien ser ut på den minsta skala vi har kunnat studera experimentellt. Den teori som beskriver de starka, svaga och elektromagnetiska krafterna och de materiepartiklar som vi känner till, kvarkar och leptonThis thesis includes two topics.The first three papers is the major part of this thesis, which is about higher order calculations in the effective field theories of three QCD-like theories. These three QCD-like theories are distinguished by having quarks in a complex, real or pseudo-real representation of gauge group. We wrote their effective field theories in a very similar way so that the calcul

Constant volume combustion is studied, using a zero-dimensional model, which is a wide-ranging chemical kinetic simulation that allows a closed system of gases to be described on the basis of a set of initial conditions. The model provides an engine- or reactor-like environment in which the engine simulations allow for a variable system volume and heat transfer both to and from the system. The com

This paper presents the implementation of a dual mode wavelet based R-wave detector for cardiac pacemakers. A previously published R-wave detector was developed for a noisy environment. This detector has been supplemented with a noise detector that operates in supervision mode, and automatically activates/deactivates 2/3 of the detector hardware without performance degradation. The noise detection

Global competition forces companies to constantly increase the efficiency in their production systems. One important factor affecting the production performance is the inbound materials handling system. When designing or relocating a manufacturing system, the cost of the material handling system is one of many things to take into consideration. In connection with on-going research a comprehensive

Beginning in 2002, the Department of Health (DoH) n partnership with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) began publishing guidelines for the evidenced-based care and treatment of individuals with specific psychiatric disorders. With few exceptions the first-line psychological treatment recommended in all of the guidelines was some form of CBT. The publications of these guidelines

Theever-increasing test data volume for core-based system-on-chip(SOC) integrated circuits is resulting in high test times andexcessive tester memory requirements. To reduce both test time andtest data volume, we propose a technique for test-architectureoptimization and test scheduling that is based on core-levelexpansion of compressed test patterns. For each wrapped embeddedcore and its decompres
