    Author : Sarah Säll; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers investigating the use of taxes on food consumption. The aim is providing policy information concerning what to eat from an environmental and health perspective. READ MORE

  4. 22. Measurements of physical workload with special reference to energy expenditure and work postures

    Author : Eva Bernmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Exposure assessment;

    Abstract : Background: There is a need in preventive ergonomics for accurate and valid methods of quantifying exposure to physical workload. Aims: Two technical instruments were evaluated for quantifying occupational physical workloads: 1) A heart rate (HR) monitor system to measure energy expenditure and 2) An inclinometer system based on triaxial accelerometers to measure work postures.

  5. 23. Energy expenditure and accelerometer cut-points for sedentary behavior and physical activity in spinal cord injury : implication for guiding and prevention

    Author : Tobias Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) alters the prerequisites for physical activity (PA) and subsequently energy expenditure. Persons with SCI above thoracic level six have a compromised physiological response, which further compromises energy expenditure, during exercise. READ MORE

  6. 24. Measurement, Modeling, and Characterization for Energy-Efficient Computing

    Author : Bhavishya Goel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; power-aware scheduling; power estimation; transactional memory; power measurement; power management; energy characterization;

    Abstract : The ever-increasing ecological footprint of Information Technology (IT) sector coupled with adverse effects of high power consumption on electronic circuits has increased the significance of energy-efficient computing in the last decade. Making energy-efficient computing a norm rather than an exception requires that system designers and programmers understand the energy implications of their design and implementation choices.
