  2. 1. Falls in older people in geriatric care settings : predisposing and precipitating factors

    Author : Kristina Kallin; Leif Svanström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : accidental falls; risk factors; older people; residential facilities; geriatric care; cognition; drug therapy; wounds and injuries; geriatric psychiatry; meteorological factors; geriatrik; Geriatrics;

    Abstract : Falls and their consequences are a major health problem in the older population, increasing their immobility, morbidity and mortality. This thesis focuses on older people living in geriatric care settings, frail older people who are most prone to suffer falls. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the epidemiology, clinical presentation and transmission of respiratory viral infections

    Author : Nicklas Sundell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory viruses; measles; influenza; epidemiology; meteorological factors; real-time PCR; viral transmission; lower respiratory tract infection;

    Abstract : Respiratory viral infections encompass a large heterogenous group of pathogens that constitute a major burden of disease globally. The various routes of transmission including airborne spread make them difficult to control. READ MORE

  5. 3. Meteorological impact and transmission errors in outdoor wireless sensor networks

    Author : Hjalmar Wennerström; Lars-Åke Nordén; Christian Rohner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datorkommunikation; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Communication;

    Abstract : Wireless sensor networks have been deployed outdoors ever since their inception. They have been used in areas such as precision farming, tracking wildlife, and monitoring glaciers. These diverse application areas all have different requirements and constraints, shaping the way in which the sensor network communicates. READ MORE

  6. 4. Traffic Emissions of Aerosols

    Author : Matthias Vogt; Douglas Nilsson; Eiko Nemitz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Primary Aerosol Emissions; Carbon Dioxide Emissions; Traffic Aerosol; Urban Aerosol; Traffic Activity; Emission Factors; Eddy Covariance; Aerosol Flux; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Non-exhaust traffic emissions are unregulated, yet the mass emission of non-exhaust particles may be larger than exhaust emissions. In addition, their emission factors (EF) are more uncertain than exhaust emissions. This thesis presents aerosol flux measurements in Stockholm using the eddy covariance method. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regional and local surface ozone variations in relation to meteorological conditions in Sweden

    Author : Lin Tang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LWTs; surface ozone; high-ozone events; long-range transport; TAPM; MM5; NOx-O3; Sweden;

    Abstract : Air quality is strongly dependent on meteorological conditions. Atmospheric circulation encapsulates general information about local meteorological variables to some extent, and can serve as an explanatory variable for air quality at a regional or local scale. READ MORE
