2. 1. Fluid Management in Haemodialysis : Studies on current practices and new methods

   Author : Jenny Stenberg; Hans Furuland; Magnus Lindberg; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Bernd Stegmayr; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemodialysis; Fluid management; Fluid overload; Bioimpedance spectroscopy; Dry weight; Brain natriuretic peptide; Decision aid; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Chronic fluid overload has been identified as an independent predictor of mortality in haemodialysis patients, and 30% remain fluid overloaded at dry weight. The use of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in fluid management may improve blood pressure control and cardiovascular status. READ MORE

4. 2. Excessive Fluid Overload Among Haemodialysis Patients : Prevalence, Individual Characteristics and Self-regulation of Fluid Intake

   Author : Magnus Lindberg; Per Lindberg; Björn Wikström; Regina Wredling; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Behavioural medicine; fluid overload; adherence; haemodialysis; self-efficacy; attentional style; depressive symptomatology; cluster analysis; tailored treatment; quasi-experimental single-case design; Fluid Intake Appraisal Inventory FIAI ; renal nursing; Kidney diseases; Njursjukdomar; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis is comprised of four studies and concerns haemodialysis patients’ confidence in being able to manage fluid intake between treatment sessions, and whether the fluid intake is influenced by certain modifiable characteristics of the persons in question. The overall aim was to study aspects of excessive fluid overload and haemodialysis patients’ self-regulation of fluid allotment from a bio-psychosocial and behavioural medicine perspective.

5. 3. Engine Thermal Management in Heavy Duty Vehicles

   Author : Arne Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Control Simulation; Heat Exchangers; Heat Transfer; Thermal Management; Turbomachinery;

   Abstract : Future regulations on noise and exhaust emissions have a large impact on heavy duty engine installations. Cooled EGR is used for NOx abatement. Better sealed engine encapsulations are used to meet new noise regulations. Engine thermal management is therefore becoming an increasingly important discipline. READ MORE

6. 4. CFD modelling of axial fans for thermal management applications

   Author : Randi Franzke; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MRF; CFD; RBM; Axial Fan; Thermal Management;

   Abstract : Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the key challenges in todays automotive industry. Different strategies to achieve this goal are, for example, to electrify the powertrain and to reduce the aerodynamic drag by reducing the amount of cooling air through the underhood. READ MORE

7. 5. Chemical Management Services from a Product Service System Perspective : Experiences of fluid management services from Volvo Group metalworking plants

   Author : Martin Kurdve; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses fluid management services (FMS) in metalworking industry and determines environmental and economic outcomes of FMS as compared to traditional, in-house, fluid management. Fluid management services, or as it is often called chemical management services (CMS), mean that the suppliers of chemicals are also involved in managing and maintaining the fluids in the use phase.
