2. 1. I-girder Composite Bridges with Lateral Bracing : Improved load distribution

   Author : Victor Vestman; Peter Collin; Robert Hällmark; Hans Petursson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; assessment; bridge; composite bridge; steel-concrete composite; I-girder; case study; horizontal trusses; lateral bracing; rehabilitation; strengthening; torsional stiffness; upgrading; Byggkonstruktion; Structural Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the subject of lateral bracing between the bottom flanges of I-girder composite bridges. The focus is on the impact of adding lateral bracing on existing bridges, as well as on new bridges. READ MORE

4. 2. Fibre reinforced polymer bridge decks: Sustainability and a novel panel-level connection

   Author : Valbona Mara; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bridge; Sustainability; LCA; Life-cycle assessment; FRP deck; LCC; Life-cycle cost; Connection;

   Abstract : Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks have emerged as a competitive alternative to traditional decking solutions for the refurbishment of existing bridges, as well as the construction of new ones, in the past two decades. FRP decks offer inherent properties such as light weight, high strength and high resistance to aggressive environments. READ MORE

5. 3. Working while ill, going on sick leave and return to work again: the individual's perspective in primary health care

   Author : Kristin Lork; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; common mental disorders; occupational science; person-centred approach; primary healtcare; rehabilitation coordination; return-to-work; self-efficacy; sick leave; vocational rehabilitation;

   Abstract : The overall purpose of the present thesis was to increase understand-ing of the dynamic process between working while feeling ill, going on sick leave, and returning to work among people seeking care at primary healthcare (PHC). The present thesis aimed to emphasise the individu-al’s perspective on this process. READ MORE

6. 4. Redundancy and Robustness Quantification of Bridge Systems based on Reliability and Risk Approaches

   Author : Silvia Sarmiento; Gabriel Sas; Jaime Gonzalez-Libreros; Robert Hällmark; Thomas Blanksvärd; Sebastian Thöns; John Leander; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Existing bridges; reliability; risk; metamodel; Finite Element Modeling; Model tests; Byggkonstruktion; Structural Engineering;

   Abstract : Over the last few decades, evaluating the performance of existing structures has become increasingly important, particularly as the number of bridges reaching their design life continues to rise. As a result, there is a growing need for effective and accurate procedures to guide the assessment of the current structures' capacity and safety levels to implement appropriate maintenance and rehabilitation strategies.

7. 5. Motor Imagery to Facilitate Sensorimotor Re-Learning (MOTIFS): Integrating Dynamic Motor Imagery in Current Treatment of Knee Injury

   Author : Niklas Cederström; Idrottsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; knee injury; Sport medicine; Exercise therapy; Sport psychology;

   Abstract : Traumatic knee injury is common in physical activity that includes jumping and cutting movements, and most commonly include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or meniscus injuries. Surgical or non-surgical intervention strategies may be chosen, but treatment will include a physical-therapist led physical training program. READ MORE
