  2. 1. Timed Up-and-Go Dual-Task Tests for Early Detection of Dementia Disorder

    Author : Hanna Bozkurt Åhman; Anna Cristina Åberg; Martin Ingelsson; Erik Rosendahl; Jorunn Helbostad; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dual-task; dementia; mild cognitive impairment; subjective cognitive impairment; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

    Abstract : Dementia constitutes an important and growing public health concern. There is a need for new, simple, and inexpensive methods to detect dementia disorders early in the disease progression. For this purpose, dual-tasking, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Functional neuroimaging of dual task interference and divided attention

    Author : Priyantha Herath; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is known that human subjects cannot perform two reaction time (RT) tasks as efficiently as they would perform the constituent tasks individually. Increments of reaction times or error rates that occur when two RT tasks are performed nearly simultaneously is known as interference. READ MORE

  5. 3. Probing Critical Interfaces in Dual-Ion Batteries : The Road Towards Performant Graphite Cathodes

    Author : Antonia Kotronia; Kristina Edström; Tobias Placke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dual-ion batteries; graphite; cathode-electrolyte interface;

    Abstract : Transitioning into a zero-emission society will require massive efforts with respect to the harnessing and storage of renewable energy resources. The development of large-scale, electrochemical energy storage systems based on abundant and environmentally benign compounds is seen upon as a key factor for guaranteeing a successful outcome.

  6. 4. Dual-Arm Robotic Manipulation under Uncertainties and Task-Based Redundancy

    Author : Diogo Almeida; Yiannis Karayiannidis; Fabrizio Caccavale; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Robotic manipulators are mostly employed in industrial environments, where their tasks can be prescribed with little to no uncertainty. This is possible in scenarios where the deployment time of robot workcells is not prohibitive, such as in the automotive industry. READ MORE

  7. 5. Physical Activity and Alzheimer's Disease : Measurements, Observations and Subjective Experiences

    Author : Ylva Cedervall; Anna Cristina Åberg; Lars Lannfelt; Lena Kilander; Per-Olof Sandman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caregiver; continuity theory; dementia; dual-task; gait analysis; in-depth interview; mixed methods research; participant observation; physical capacity; qualitative; selfhood; walking; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

    Abstract : Gait disturbances such as slow walking speed and step-to-step variability have been reported among people with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and as risk factors for functional decline, dependency, and falls. Additionally, AD-related emotional reactions and decreased initiative can lead to physical inactivity. READ MORE
