  2. 1. New aspects of physical work load as a risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders

    Author : Marketta Häkkänen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : musculoskeletal disorder; upper limb; neck; shoulder; low back; physical work load; risk factor; job experience; trigger; interview; intervention; exposure assessment;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT This study investigated new aspects of physical load factors as risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among industrial employees. The following issues were in focus: the effect of physical work load and job experience on morbidity from musculoskeletal disorders, the incidence rates and induction times for these disorders, and the triggering factors for incident low back pain.

  4. 2. EGF-like modules in blood coagulation proteins : Ca²+ binding, module interactions, structure and dynamics as studied by NMR spectroscopy

    Author : Andreas Muranyi; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; residual dipolar couplings; protein S; factor VII; protein structure; calcium; blood coagulation; NMR spectroscopy; EGF modules; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Modules are independently folding protein domains defined on the gene level. The epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) modules are involved in protein-protein interactions and are found in numerous membrane proteins and extracellular proteins, including many proteins of the blood coagulation system.

  5. 3. Spatial Variation in Near-Ground Radiation and Low Temperature - Interactions with Forest Vegetation

    Author : Kristina Blennow; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; light interception; hemispherical photograph; growth; forest fragmentation; fluorescence; cold-induced photoinhibition; GIS; view factor; radiative cooling; frost protection; agro-climatic mapping; forest clear-cut; local climate; Microclimate; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi;

    Abstract : Low temperature has a large impact on the survival and distribution of plants. Interactive effects with high irradiance lead to cold-induced photoinhibition, which may impact on the establishment and growth of tree seedlings. READ MORE

  6. 4. Global Changes and European Terrestrial Ecosystems

    Author : Emmanuel Gritti; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; European species; Climatic risk; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorphology; Physical geography; Vegetation modelling; Pollen analysis; Plant invasion; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Global Changes;

    Abstract : Global environmental changes are topics of important societal concern and current scientific interest. These changes are driven by many different forcing and feedbacks occurring at various time and geographic scales and are largely influencing the various Earth systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Screening for Cardiovascular Risk and Diabetes in Primary Health Care : The Söderåkra Risk Factor Screening Study

    Author : Ulla Petersson; Peter Nilsson; Carl Johan Östgren; Lars Brudin; Lars Weinehall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality for many decades in Sweden. Preventive work in primary health care through individual approach and community-based programmes has shown some success. READ MORE
