  2. 1. Conjugated Polymers for Neural Interfaces : Prospects, possibilities and future challenges

    Author : Maria Asplund; Hans von Holst; Olle Inganäs; Thomas Stieglitz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neuroprosthetics; conjugated polymers; conducting polymers; PEDOT; functional electrical stimulation; neural electrodes; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

    Abstract : Within the field of neuroprosthetics the possibility to use implanted electrodes for communication with the nervous system is explored. Much effort is put into the material aspects of the electrode implant to increase charge injection capacity, suppress foreign body response and build micro sized electrode arrays allowing close contact with neurons.

  4. 2. Model and Reality : Connecting BIM and the Built Environment

    Author : Gustaf Uggla; Milan Horemuz; Patric Jansson; Väino Tarandi; Alojz Kopáčik; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geodesi; Geodesy;

    Abstract : The adoption of building information modeling (BIM) in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is changing the way informa-tion regarding the built environment is created, stored, and exchanged. In short, documents are replaced with databases, processes are automated, and timelines become more circular with an emphasis on managing the life cycles of all manufactured objects. READ MORE

    Abstract : In recent years, application of confluent jets for design of ventilation supply devices has been studied. Similarly, numerus studies have been made on the potential and application of variable air volume (VAV) in order to reduce the energy demand of ventilation systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Spectroscopic and Microscopic X-ray Fluorescence Analysis for Environmental and Industrial Applications

    Author : Siwen An; Börje Norlin; Göran Thungström; David Krapohl; Yuying Huang; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants due to its potential impact on associated ecosystems and human health. Thus, it is important to monitor the levels of heavy metals in the environment. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a powerful and effective screening tool in measuring the concentration of multi-elements simultaneously. READ MORE

  7. 5. “To see the person behind the crime, through the eyes of the person behind the keychain” : - Carers lived experiences of patient encounters in forensic inpatient care

    Author : Lars Hammarström; Marie Häggström; Ove Hellzén; Siri Andreassen Devik; Lena Wiklund Gustin; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Encounters; forensic nursing; hermeneutics; lived experience; nursing; phenomenological-hermeneutics; phenomenology; reflective lifeworld research.;

    Abstract : Background: Forensic psychiatric care (FPC) encompasses involuntary care and treatment of those who have committed a crime. On the one hand, FPC is constructed regarding the respect for the individual’s freedom and autonomy, and on the other hand, it is constructed on societal protection. READ MORE
