  2. 11. Silicon nitride-based materials for spinal and antipathogenic applications

    Author : Ioannis Katsaros; Håkan Engqvist; Hanna Tiainen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is a ceramic material that is well-established in industrial applications due to its stability in demanding environments. The mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the material have led to its approval for clinical use in spinal implants. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood lactate concentration; cross-country sit-skiing; impairment; internal kinetics; inverse dynamics simulations; joint reaction forces; kinematics; metabolic rate; musculoskeletal modelling; musculoskeletal efficiency; nordic skiing; oxygen uptake; para-skiing; respiration; skiing efficiency.;

    Abstract : Double poling (DP) is a sub-technique in cross-country skiing that has increased in interest over the last decades, e.g. athletes in cross-country skiing have increased their utilisation of double poling during competitions. READ MORE

  5. 13. Topics in geometry, analysis and inverse problems

    Author : Hans Rullgård; Mikael Passare; Victor Palamodov; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laurent series; Harnack curves; differential equations; tomography; Mathematical logic; Matematisk logik;

    Abstract : The thesis consists of three independent parts.Part I: Polynomial amoebasWe study the amoeba of a polynomial, as de ned by Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. A central role in the treatment is played by a certain convex function which is linear in each complement component of the amoeba, which we call the Ronkin function. READ MORE

  6. 14. Seated postural reactions to mechanical shocks : laboratory studies with relevance for risk assessment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders among drivers

    Author : Tobias Stenlund; Börje Rehn; Ronnie Lundström; Ola Lindroos; Fredrik Öhberg; Rolf Moe-Nilssen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Postural balance; Posture; Electromyography; Musculoskeletal pain; Whole-body vibration; Reliability; Kinematics; Biomechanics; sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy;

    Abstract : Professional drivers of off-road vehicles, driving on irregular terrain such as in forestry, agriculture and mining, are exposed to whole-body vibration and mechanical shocks. These driver groups have reported severe musculoskeletal problems in the spine, but the association to seated postural reactions is not fully understood. READ MORE

  7. 15. Low back pain in women in relation to different exposures to female sex hormones

    Author : Jan Brynhildsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Female sex hormones; Oral contraceptives; Hormone replacement therapy; Low back pain; Pregnancy; Spinal mobility; Female athletes; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Objective: To investigate the effects of increased exposition to female sex hormones and physical strain on the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in women. To study the etJect of increased exposition to female sex hormones on spinal sagiual mobility. READ MORE
