  2. 1. Forest for rest : recovery from exhaustion disorder

    Author : Elisabet Sonntag-Öström; Lisbeth Slunga Järvholm; Ann Dolling; Ylva Lundell; Maria Nordin; Marie Åsberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Burnout; nature-assisted therapy; rehabilitation; forestry; stress disorders; environmental medicine; restoration; human health; well-being; folkhälsa; Public health;

    Abstract : Background Exhaustion disorder (ED) is a common mental and behavioural disorder which often leads to severe negative consequences for the individual and the society. Natural environments have positive effects on mental, physiological and attentional recovery in stressed persons, which encouraged us to test if forest visits could improve recovery from ED.

  4. 2. Rehabilitation for improved cognition in stress-related exhaustion : cognitive, neural and clinical perspectives

    Author : Hanna Malmberg Gavelin; Anna Stigsdotter Neely; Carl-Johan Boraxbekk; Ingibjörg Jonsdottir; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; stress rehabilitation; burnout; exhaustion disorder; cognitive training; aerobic training; klinisk psykologi; Clinical Psychology;

    Abstract : Stress-related exhaustion disorder (ED) has been associated with concomitant cognitive impairment, perceived by patients to have large impact on everyday life. However, little is known about how to address cognition in stress rehabilitation and how this could influence stress recovery over time. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exhaustion Dominated Performance: Methodology, Tools and Empirical Experiments

    Author : Nima Namaki; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; engineering simulation applications.; measurement methodology; Computer cluster; verification methods; resource exhaustion;

    Abstract : Problem with application sensitivity to insufficient resources in High PerformanceComputing (HPC) clusters has been a longstanding issue of concern for industries. Inthis thesis we propose a method based on a black box approach for characterizationand analysis of engineering simulation applications with respect to available hardwareresources in the situation of resource depletion.

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Office type; open-plan office; flex office; cell office; performance; job satisfaction; distraction; self-rated health; well-being; cognitive stress; exhaustion; individual differences; personality; concentration; stim-ulus screening ability; memory; Kontorstyp; kontorslandskap; flexkontor; cellkontor; produktivitet; arbetstillfredsställelse; distraktion; självskattat hälsa; trivsel; kognitiv stress; utmattning; individuella skillnader; personlighet; koncentration; arbetsminne; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Today, many organisations are adopting offices that have an open design with or without flexible seating. While advocates of open-plan offices propose that these office types lead to cost savings and aid inter and intra-team communication, opponents argue that these office types are associated with decreased performance and worsened health among employees.

  7. 5. Roller skis' rolling resistance and grip characteristics : influences on physiological and performance measures in cross-country skiers

    Author : Mats Ainegren; Peter Carlsson; Marko Laaksonen; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adjustable grip; blood lactate; centre of pressure; cycle length; cycle rate; economy; efficiency; friction coefficient; heart rate; normal force; OBLA; oxygen uptake; power; ratcheted wheel; ratings of perceived exertion; roller skis; rolling resistance; tangential force; time to exhaustion;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate roller ski characteristics; classical and freestyle roller skis’ rolling resistance coefficients (μR) and classical style roller skis’ static friction coefficients (μS), and to study the influence of different μR and μS on cross-country skiers’ performance and both physiological and biomechanical indices. The aim was also to study differences in skiing economy and efficiency between recreational skiers, female and male junior and senior elite cross-country skiers. READ MORE
