2. 1. Conformational Studies of Biologically Active Peptides

   Author : Björn Walse; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PapD chaperone; P pili; desmopressin; DDAVP; protein-peptide interactions; glycopeptides; peptide design; transferred NOE; molecular dynamics simulations; circular dichroism; peptide conformation; NMR spectroscopy; immunogenic glycopeptides; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this work conformational studies have been performed on peptides from four different systems in an attempt to gain knowledge about their biological function. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with distance geometry and restrained molecular dynamics simulations were the methods used.

4. 2. NMR STUDIES ON STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF TWO-DOMAIN PROTEINS

   Author : Houman Ghasriani; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysikalisk kemi; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; Physical chemistry; Molekylär biofysik; CRISP-3; NMR; 3D-structure; NMR relaxation; Molecular biophysics; Prostate cancer; EGF module; PSP94; Beta-microseminoprotein; Protein S;

   Abstract : The general objective of the present thesis work was to examine 3-dimensional structure as well as the motional properties of two different types of two-domain proteins by solution-state NMR. One of the major tasks of this thesis work was to investigate the domain orientation of these molecules by employing residual dipolar couplings (RDC) which can be used as orientational restraints for increasing the accuracy of protein structures determined by NMR.

5. 3. Physical restraint use and falls in institutional care of old people : effects of a restraint minimization program

   Author : Tony Pellfolk; Karlsson Stig; Knut Engedal; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical restraints; falls; dementia; care of the elderly; risk factors; work environment; restraint minimization education program; staff knowledge and attitude; and quality of care.; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

   Abstract : Physical restraint use and falls are common in institutional care of old people and various attempts have been made to reduce their occurrence. Falls and concomitant injuries are a major problem due to their negative effect on morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

6. 4. Older people's safety and security in community care for the elderly : focusing on fall risk and fall

   Author : Edit Fonad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Older people; Falls; Fall-risk assessments; Drugs; Physical Restraints; Safety; Registered Nurses; Enrolled Nurses; Qualitative and Quantitative approach.;

   Abstract : Background: In Sweden the majority of very old people are healthy, and able to live in their own homes and manage without any assistance from their local authorities. However, many of them suffer from impaired cognitive and physical function, a decline in activity and poorer health, leading to a dependency on others in daily life. READ MORE

7. 5. Safety for Children in Cars – Focus on Three Point Seatbelts in Emergency Events

   Author : Isabelle Stockman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steering; Crash test dummies; Run-off road; Child restraint systems; Child safety; Emergency events; Braking; Pre-pretensioners;

   Abstract : Child safety in vehicles has improved over time. One of the main factors is due to the increased restraint use by children. Nevertheless, studies show that although children are restrained, injuries still occur indicating that restraint systems have the potential for further improvement. READ MORE
