2. 16. Exploring Typologies, Densities & Spatial Qualities : The Case of Low-Income Housing in South Africa

   Author : Ana Mancheno Gren; Dick Urban Vestbro; Jörgen Andreasen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban Form; House Types; Densities; Spatial Qualities; Low-Income Housing; South Africa; Urban Sprawl; Transect; Architecture and architectural conservation and restoration; Arkitektur och bebyggelsevård;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on problems that have resulted from the increasing pressure facing urban and suburban land use in South Africa, brought on by a number of different factors including the political and historical background of the country, as well as by rapid urbanization. The objective of this thesis is to present the perspectives applied in the analysis of the built environment in selected case studies, in which different theoretical and methodological approaches have been developed to address the research questions.

4. 17. Health-Related Quality of Life in COPD and Asthma - Discriminative and evaluative aspects

   Author : Elisabeth Ståhl; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Andningsorganen; Respiratory system; evaluative; discriminative; questionnaire; asthma; COPD; HRQL; patient-reported outcome; health-related quality of life;

   Abstract : Background - The effects of intervention can be evaluated in different ways, and objective measurements of changes in lung function are commonly used as the outcome measure. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) is an umbrella term used for all patient-based assessments. READ MORE

5. 18. Care Trajectories in the Oldest Old

   Author : Marie Ernsth Bravell; Bo Malmberg; Kirsten Avlund; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oldest-old; Health; Social network; ADL; Care; Institutionalization; End-of-life;

   Abstract : This thesis demonstrates relations among health, social network, ADL and patterns of care in the oldest old guided by a resource theoretical model. The analyzed data are based on two studies: the Nona study, a longitudinal study of 157 individuals aged 86 to 94 years, and the H70 study, a longitudinal study of 964 individuals aged 70 at baseline.

6. 19. From microstructure to subsurface characterization. Spectral information from field scale time domain induced polarization

   Author : Sara Johansson; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geofysik; Inducerad Polarisation;

   Abstract : A large variety of subsurface infrastructure projects of different types can gain valuable information from tomographic measurements of subsurface physical properties. With resistivity and time domain spectral induced polarization (IP), the distributions of the conductive and capacitive properties of the subsurface are obtained. READ MORE

7. 20. Thermal Interference Between Neighbouring Ground-Source Heat Pumps : Tools to Calcualte it and Solutions to Limit it

   Author : Maria Letizia Fascì; Joachim Claesson; Alberto Lazzarotto; Loius Lamarche; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground source heat pumps; thermal interference; neighbouring geothermal boreholes; finite line source; mitigation strategies; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) have emerged as a promising technology for decarbonization of the heating sector. However, their increasing prevalence in densely populated areas may lead to considerable changes in the ground temperature, which can ultimately lead to reduced performance of the systems. READ MORE
