  2. 1. Structural health of bridges : monitor, assess and retrofit

    Author : Arvid Hejll; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The research presented in this Licentiate thesis is intended to cover minor areas of the wide research area Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Civil Engineering Structures. SHM is broadly the knowledge maintaining our infrastructure by assessing the condition, often by monitoring or measurements, diagnose damages, analyse risk levels, by using inputs from measurements and diagnoses, and in the end retrofit, if needed.

  4. 2. Methods to assess physical load at work : With a focus on the neck and upper extremities

    Author : Peter Palm; Mikael Forsman; Magnus Svartengren; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Eva Vingård; Esa Pekka Takala; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; risk assessment; physical load; upper extremities; ergonomics; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : To prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), useful, reliable and valid methods for assessing physical workload and risks for MSDs are needed. Ergonomists often assess work by short visual observations without a specific tool. READ MORE

  5. 3. Annular dynamics of the human heart : novel echocardiographic approaches to assess ventricular function

    Author : Carljohan Carlhäll; Neil B. Ingels Jr.; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The complex myocardial fiber architecture of the left ventricle (LV) enables long-axis motion (annular excursion), short-axis motion and also a small torsional deformation throughout the cardiac cycle. The contribution of the long-axis motion has proven to be important in generating ventricular filling and emptying, and the analysis of annular excursion has become a well established diagnostic tool for the assessment of ventricular function.

  6. 4. Prenatal Tisse Velocity Imaging of the Heart : A new approach to assess fetal myocardial function

    Author : Nina Elmstedt; Lars-Åke Brodin; Britta Lind; Karel Marsal; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The general aim of this thesis has been to evaluate color‐coded tissue velocity imaging (TVI) as an approach to developing a new, non‐invasive assessment method for fetal myocardial function. Such a method could hypothetically give early indications of fetal pathology, as myocardial dysfunction is often the consequence when the circulation tries to adapt to deteriorating situations.

  7. 5. Interviewing to assess and manage threats of violence

    Author : Renate Geurts; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; threat assessment; threat management; human intelligence gathering; investigative interviewing; true and false intentions;

    Abstract : Persons who pose threats of violence can be rich sources of information for professionals charged with ensuring safety and security. The interviewing of threateners is thus considered important among such professionals, but research on the topic is scarce. READ MORE
