  2. 21. On the Formation and Physical Behaviour of Exhaled Particles

    Author : Helene Holmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breath hold; size distribution; deposition; relative humidity; tidal breathing; exhaled particles; airway closure; film droplet;

    Abstract : Aerosol particles are generated in human airways and leave the body with exhaled air. The particles originate from the respiratory tract and contain non-volatile compoundsthat potentially may be used as biomarkers for various medical conditions. To utilise any information provided by the particles, they must be characterised. READ MORE

  4. 22. Human Lean : Combining Sense of Coherence and Lean to achieve productivity and health

    Author : Bengt Halling; Lars Bengtsson; Katarina Wijk; Jörgen Eklund; Bonnie Poksinska; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; barriers; health promotion; implementation; Lean; leadership; management; organizational change; productivity; sense of coherence; supportive factors; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to identify barriers to and supportive factors for Lean implementation and to investigate how application of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) theory combined with Lean philosophy may affect health and productivity. The thesis is based on five studies. READ MORE

  5. 23. Concept design and In Vitro evaluation of a novel dynamic displacement Ventricular Assist Device

    Author : Mattias Stenberg; Håkan Elmqvist; Ulf Kjellman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventricular Assist Devices; artificial heart; heart failure; InVitro evaluation; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are mechanical pumps used to off-load a deceased heart, primarily in late stage congestive heart failure patients. VAD employment may facilitate cardiac recovery, but most often provides time before a suitable heart transplant can be found. READ MORE

  6. 24. New approaches to monitoring of cardiac function

    Author : Emil Söderqvist; Lars-Åke Brodin; Michael Haney; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; left ventricle; pressure and volume; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Left ventricular pumping performance may be described by intraventricular pressure and volume variables, usually presented as a pressure-volume plot. However, on-line monitoring of left ventricular pressure and volume with high temporal resolution requires the use of an invasive catheter technique such as, for example, the conductance catheter method.

  7. 25. Occupational Health Services Professionals; skills, needs and experiences shared in a learning network : Co-operative inquiry performed in the manufacturing sector

    Author : Lena Nord Nilsson; Jörgen Eklund; Annika Vänje; Stig Vinberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Occupational Safety and Health; Work Environment; Ergonomics; Ergonomists; Occupational Safety and Health Engineers; Företagshälsovård; lärande nätverk; tillverkningsindustri; säkerhet och hälsa; arbetsmiljö; ergonomi; ergonom; arbetsmiljöingenjör; Technology and Health; Teknik och hälsa;

    Abstract : Work environment conditions can influence individuals, organisations as well as society, and economic consequences can be extensive. The employer is responsible for the work environment,but must engage Occupational Health Services (OHS) or similar if the own competenceis not sufficient. READ MORE
