  2. 21. Fall-Related Hip Fracture : Predisposing and Precipitating Factors

    Author : Breiffni Leavy; Liisa Byberg; Anna Cristina Åberg; Michaëlsson Karl; Melhus Håkan; Ann Bremander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Co-existing disease; Epidemiology; Fall circumstances; Hip fracture; In-depth interviews; Mixed methods; Physical activity perceptions; Psychotropic drugs; Qualitative; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Geriatrics; Geriatrik; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Abstract : A physically inactive lifestyle is a predisposing risk factor for fall-related hip fracture. The circumstances, or precipitating factors, surrounding hip fractures are, however, not well understood, a factor of relevance for Swedish adults who have one of the highest hip fracture risks in the world.

  4. 22. Patients with Hip Fracture : Various aspects of patient safety

    Author : Anna-Karin Gunnarsson; Lena Gunningberg; Sune Larsson; Kenneth B Jonsson; Anne-Marie Boström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fracture; patient safety; nutrition; cranberry; patient involvement; adverse event; elderly; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate whether patient safety can be improved for patients with hip fracture by nutritional intervention and by pharmacological treatment with cranberry concentrate. Another aim was to describe the patients’ experience of involvement in their care. READ MORE

  5. 23. The Impact of Fracture Geometry on the Hydromechanical Behaviour of Crystalline Rock

    Author : Johan Thörn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laboratory experiments; Fracture aperture; In situ experiments; Conceptual model; Äspö HRL; Fracture geometry; Stereo photogrammetry; Hydromechanical coupling; Fracture normal stiffness;

    Abstract : Effective construction of tunnels in fractured crystalline rock requires a unified approach for handling rock mechanics and hydrogeological issues. Traditionally, rock mechanics and hydrogeology not only use different nomenclature, they also measure parameters such as e.g. aperture differently. READ MORE

  7. 25. Heterogeneous Bonded Particle Modelling of Rock Fracture

    Author : Albin Wessling; Jörgen Kajberg; Simon Larsson; Pär Jonsén; Timo Saksala; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rock; DEM; BPM; fracture; drilling; dynamic; Solid Mechanics; Hållfasthetslära;

    Abstract : The dynamic fracture process of rock materials is of importance for several industries, such as the rock drilling process in geothermal and mining applications. Gaining knowledge and understanding of dynamic rock fracture through numerical simulations can enhance the rock drilling process, for example by optimising the drill bit geometry and drilling parameters.
