2. 16. Cell therapy for spinal cord injury, studies of motor and sensory systems

   Author : Christoph Hofstetter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Nervous system; spinal cord injury; pseudorabies virus; axonal tracing; functional MRI; stereology; Rho-kinases; transplantation; stem cells; neurogenin2; allodynia;

   Abstract : Spinal cord injury represents a significant medical concern, affecting thousands of individuals each year. The majority of victims are young males harmed by traffic accidents, violence, and falls. Severe spinal cord injury interupts nerve fiber pathways connecting the brain and the rest of the body.

4. 17. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the General Population

   Author : Örjan Frans; Mats Fredrikson; Hans Ågren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; posttraumatic stress disorder; trauma; epidemiology; general population; prevalence; traffic road accidents; DSM-structure; positron emission tomography; regional cerebral blood flow; symptom provocation; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; klinisk psykologi; Clinical Psychology;

   Abstract : This thesis explored the epidemiology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and different aspects of the disorder. Firstly, we investigated the lifetime prevalence of traumatic experiences and PTSD in the general adult population in Sweden and evaluated the impact of different trauma types, trauma frequency, and perceived distress.

5. 18. The epidemiology of low back pain in the general population and after motor vehicle collisions : population-based investigations

   Author : John David Cassidy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Epidemiology; cohort studies; low back pain; incidence; prevalence; prognosis; natural history.;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to describe the prevalence, incidence and course of adult low back pain (LBP) in the general population and after traffic collisions. The objective of Paper I was to determine prevalence of adult LBP and to document its severity. READ MORE

6. 19. Controlling over-actuated road vehicles during failure conditions

   Author : Daniel Wanner; Annika Stensson Trigell; Lars Drugge; Mats Jonasson; Jochen Rauh; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vehicle dynamics; vehicle safety; driver-vehicle interaction; failure analysis; wheel hub motor failure; over-actuation; fault-tolerant control; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The aim of electrification of chassis and driveline systems in road vehicles is to reduce the global emissions and their impact on the environment. The electrification of such systems in vehicles is enabling a whole new set of functionalities improving safety, handling and comfort for the user. READ MORE

7. 20. Dynamic speed adaptation based on information technology - a theoretical background

   Author : Andras Varhelyi; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknik; Technological sciences; driver acceptance; appropriate speeds; speed behaviour; critical conditions; Social sciences; Samhällsvetenskaper;

   Abstract : Knowledge on the factors influencing driver speed-behaviour, the relationship between speed and traffic safety and means to influence speed behaviour is systematised. Expert judgements and the high proportion of injury accidents show that improved speed adaptation has the largest safety potential in the following situations: - Road surface-, visibility and weather affected situations (e.
