  2. 16. The body in pain and pleasure : an ethnography of mixed martial arts

    Author : Magnus Stenius; Marianne Liliequist; Håkan Berglund-Lake; Orvar Löfgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MMA; Violence; Embodiment; UFC; Gender; Masculinity; Pain; Flow; Ethnography; Ethnology; etnologi;

    Abstract : Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a sport on the rise within the field of martial arts in which competitors fight in a cage and utilize full-contact movements using their fists, elbows, and knees as well as kicks, other strikes, and submission techniques to defeat their opponents. MMA has become a modern social movement in combat sports that has become globalized in a short time and is the fastest growing sport in the world. READ MORE

  4. 17. Surface Engineering Approach to Frictional Optimization

    Author : Staffan Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piston Ring; Lubrication; Rig testing; Tribometer; Design of Experiments; Cylinder Liner; Friction; Oil consumption; Diesel Engine; Wear;

    Abstract : Reducing emissions is a top priority within heavy duty diesel engine development and research. The power cylinder system is a main contributor to emissions and accounts for about 50% of the total frictional losses found in the engine, so is important to optimize. READ MORE

  5. 18. Methodological Studies on Models and Methods for Mixed-Effects Categorical Data Analysis

    Author : Maria C. Kjellsson; Mats O. Karlsson; Siv Jönsson; Gordon Graham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacodynamics; Categorical data; Markov model; Modelling; NONMEM; NLMIXED; Laplace; Gaussian quadrature; Back-Step Method; Proportional odds model; Differential odds model;

    Abstract : Effects of drugs are in clinical trials often measured on categorical scales. These measurements are increasingly being analyzed using mixed-effects logistic regression. However, the experience with such analyzes is limited and only a few models are used. READ MORE

  6. 19. The impact of motivation and person-job fit on employee turnover among Swedish real estate brokers: A mixed method approach

    Author : Martin Ahlenius; Björn Berggren; Jonas Kågström; Lars-Johan Åge; Samuel Azasu; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Real estate brokerage; person-job fit; motivation; employee turnover; occupational life cycle; Fastighetsmäklare; person-job fit; motivation; år i yrket; Företagsekonomi; Business Studies;

    Abstract : Residential real estate is a vital part of the economy, and homes are important for individuals for both financial and emotional reasons. Residential homes change owners for numerous reasons, and there is a need for these transactions to be secure and efficient from both the economic and individual perspective. READ MORE

  7. 20. Numerical simulation of thermomechanically coupled transient rolling contact - An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach

    Author : Andreas Draganis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermomechanical coupling; finite element method; transient analysis; arbitrary Lagrangian--Eulerian; rolling contact; frictional contact;

    Abstract : Numerical simulation of rolling contact serves as an important complement to laboratory and full-scale testing in the endeavour to further the understanding of related physical mechanisms, e.g. the influence of friction on the rolling motion, the thermomechanical interaction, damage phenomena and related modes of failure.
