Bakgrund Teknikutvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvårdsområdet möjliggör ständigt nya och mer avancerade sätt att distansmonitorera och vårda patienter digitalt. Digitaliseringen inom hälso- och sjukvårdsområdet i form av till exempel hälsoapplikationer gör det möjligt för patienter och personal att ha kontakt och kommunicera digitalt med varandra (WHO, 2011). itACiH är ett digitalt system där patie

IMPORTANCE: Although occupational balance (OB) is a construct of importance to occupational therapy, existing OB assessments have not been validated in clinical populations. OBJECTIVE: To examine the validity and reliability of the 11-item version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11) in U.S. adults with Type 1 diabetes. DESIGN: Data were analyzed from adults with Type 1 diabetes enrol

Production of olfactory bulb neurons occurs continuously in the rodent brain. Little is known, however, about cellular diversity in the glutamatergic neuron subpopulation. In the central nervous system, the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor NeuroD1 (ND1) is commonly associated with glutamatergic neuron development. In this study, we utilized ND1 to identify the different subpopulations o

This letter presents dc characteristics and low-frequency noise (LFN) measurements on single vertical InAs nanowire MOSFETs with 35-nm gate length and HfO2 high-kappa dielectric. The average normalized transconductance for three devices is 0.16 S/mm, with a subthreshold slope of 130 mV/decade. At 10 Hz, the normalized noise power S-I/I-d(2) measures 7.3 x 10(-7) Hz(-1). Moreover, the material-depe

A readily mass-producible, flip-chip assembled, and slot-coupled III-V compound semiconductor dielectric resonator antenna operating in the millimeter-wave spectrum has been fabricated and characterized. The antenna has a 6.1% relative bandwidth, deduced from its 10 dB return loss over 58.8-62.5 GHz, located around the resonance at 60.5 GHz. Gating in the delay-domain alleviated the analysis of th

A major problem when studying behavior and migration of small organisms is that many of the questions addressed for larger animals are not possible to formulate due to constraints on tracking smaller animals. In aquatic ecosystems, this problem is particularly problematic for zoo- and phytoplankton, since tracking devices are too heavy to allow the organism to act naturally. However, recent advanc

Vi människor och vårt samhälle påverkas mycket av klimatet vi lever i och av de naturliga klimat- och miljövariationer som sker på jorden. Det kan vara kortvariga katastrofartade händelser som tsunamis och jordbävningar men också långsammare och långvariga klimatförändringar som påverkar vårt sätt att leva och bruka jorden. Genom geologiska studier av jordens historia vet vi att klimatet har varieNightingale Island is situated at 37°S in the central part of the South Atlantic Ocean, which is a sensitive location for variations within the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) wind belt. A peat sequence from the wetland 2nd Pond has been investigated with emphasis on the composition of the deposits, loss on ignition (LOI), total Carbo

Sommaren 2018 var ett rekordvarmt år, och en markant ökning på solkurvor konstaterades av Trafikverket. Det finns flera orsaker till varför en solkurva uppstår, förutom den ökade temperaturen. När en solkurva bildas dras slutsatsen i många fall att anledningen endast är hög temperatur och vidare undersökningar utesluts direkt. Detta examensarbete består till stor del av en litteraturstudie som bThe summer of 2018 was a hot year, a significant increase of sun curves was observed by Trafikverket. There are several reasons why a sun curve occurs, in addition to the high temperature. When a sun curve is formed, the conclusion is drawn in many cases that the reason was heat and no further investigations are made. The project consists a literature study that explains the physical theory, fac

Farmers know much more than we think, and they are keen to improve their knowledge in order to improve their farms and increase their income. On the other hand, decision-makers, organizations, and researchers are increasing their use of citizen volunteers to strengthen their outcomes, enhance project implementation, and approach ecosystem sustainability. This paper assesses the role of citizen sci

Background: Patients with hand eczema often describe symptoms such as pain, clumsiness and difficulty flexing their fingers, thus impairing the function of the hand. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether hand eczema is associated with a measurable impairment of hand strength and dexterity. We also studied the relationship between hand function and the ability to perform activ

Objective: The objective of this study was to pool, harmonise and re-analyse national accelerometer data from adults in four European countries in order to describe population levels of sedentary time and physical inactivity. Methods: Five cross-sectional studies were included from England, Portugal, Norway and Sweden. ActiGraph accelerometer count data were centrally processed using the same algo
