2. 1. Fluidic Microsystems for Micropropulsion Applications in Space

   Author : Johan Bejhed; Johan Köhler; Anders Eriksson; Greger Thornell; Thomas Laurell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Engineering physics; microelectromechanical systems; MEMS; MST; microsystem; microfluidics; silicon; spacecraft; propulsion; space technology; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : Spacecraft on interplanetary missions or advanced satellites orbiting the Earth all require propulsion systems to complete their missions. Introducing microelectromechanical systems technology to the space industry will not only reduce size and weight of the propulsion system, but can also increase the performance of the mission.

5. 3. Behind the Screen : -Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Treat Depressive Symptoms in Persons with Heart Failure

   Author : Johan Lundgren; Peter Johansson; Tiny Jaarsma; Anita Kärner Köhler; Gerhard Andersson; Cecilia Fagerström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cognitive behavioural therapy; Depression; Heart failure; Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy; Patients’ experiences; Self-care; Telehealth; Depression; Egenvård; Hjärtsvikt; Internetbaserad kognitiv beteendeterapi; Kognitiv beteendeterapi; Patienters upplevelse; Telehälsa;

   Abstract : IntroductionThe prevalence of depressive symptoms in persons with heart failure is higher than in age- and gender-matched populations not suffering from heart failure. Heart failure in itself is associated with an unpredictable trajectory of symptoms, a poor prognosis, high mortality and morbidity, and low health-related quality of life (HrQoL). READ MORE

6. 4. Miniaturized Multifunctional System Architecture for Satellites and Robotics

   Author : Fredrik Bruhn; Jan-Åke Schweitz; Lars Stenmark; Johan Köhler; Thomas George; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Space technology; Multifunctional design; Spacecraft; Robotics; Microengineering; MEMS; Exploration; Distributed intelligence; Mission Design; Rymdteknik; Space engineering; Rymdteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis describes and evaluates the design of nanospacecraft based on advanced multifunctional microsystems building blocks. These systems bring substantial improvements of the performance of nanosatellites and enable new space exploration, e.g. interplanetary science missions using minute space probes. READ MORE

7. 5. Microsystems Technology for Underwater Vehicle Applications

   Author : Jonas Jonsson; Greger Thornell; Hugo Nguyen; Johan Köhler; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Aquatic; Submersible; Underwater; Micro; Miniaturized; Sonar; Sidescan; Topography; Laser; Diffractive; Optics; Sampler; Particle; Microorganism; Acoustic; Enriching; Conductivity; Temperature; Depth; CTD; Flow; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrosystemteknik; Engineering Science with specialization in Microsystems Technology;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis work has been to investigate how miniaturization, such as microsystems technology, can potentially increase the scientific throughput in exploration of hard-to-reach underwater environments, such as the subglacial lakes of Antarctica, or other challenging environments, including cave systems and wrecks. A number of instruments and subsystems applicable to miniature submersibles have been developed and studied, and their potential to provide a high functionality density for size-restricted exploration platforms has been assessed.
