1. Ageing behavior of plastics used in automotive fuel systems
Abstract : The increase in service temperature and the use of biobased fuels, such as biodiesel, have raised concerns on the short/long-term performance of plastic components used in automotive fuel systems.In this work the ageing behavior of unreinforced and glass-fibre reinforced polyamide 12 (PA12), exposed to three different fuels (petroleum diesel, biodiesel, and a mixture of these (80/20)) at high temperature, was investigated.

2. Active Ageing a Path towards Ageing Well. Physical Functioning, Physical Activity, Falls Self-Efficacy and Social Participation in Community-Dwelling Elderly
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study factors of importance for active ageing with a focus on physical functioning, physical activity, falls self-efficacy, health-related quality of life and social participation in community-dwelling elderly above 60 years old. Methods: Study I (n=108) evaluated the psychometric properties of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (Arabic version) (FES-I (Ar)) using validity and reliability testing. READ MORE

3. Physical properties and processes of secondary organic aerosol and its constituents
Abstract : Atmospheric aerosol particles are involved in several important processes including the formation of clouds and precipitation. A considerable fraction of the ambient aerosol mass consists of organic compounds of both primary and secondary origin. READ MORE

4. Physical activity, muscle mass and physical function in older adults
Abstract : Ageing is accompanied by a decline in physical function, including loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, which leads to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living and loss of independence. Physical activity (PA) is currently viewed as a key lifestyle factor with potential to mitigate these age-related deteriorations. READ MORE

5. Injuries are not accidents! : an emergency-department population-based epidemiological study of injuries with special reference to trauma recidivism hip fractures and geriatric falls
Abstract : Injury is a major public health problem. In rich countries fall injures now kill more people than all other injury mechanisms together, because of global ageing and large-scale sustainable injury prevention programs for all other injury mechanisms but falls. READ MORE
