Background: Sonographers have a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Sonography involves strenuous postures in the neck and upper limbs, and is visually demanding. Echocardiography is especially challenging, with static postures and monotonous movements. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to identify ergonomic risk factors for pain in sonographers, and to propose actions for sustainable wo
IntroductionOccupational balance has been investigated in different populations but less in stroke survivors. Previous studies have focussed on occupational balance among stroke survivors of working age (15–64 years of age), showing they did not perceive they had occupational balance. There is, therefore, a lack of knowledge of how older stroke survivors perceive their occupational balance. The ai
This work is to popularize the method of computing the distribution of the excursion times for a Gaussian process that involves extended and multivariate Rice's formula. The approach was used in numerical implementations of the high-dimensional integration routine and in earlier work it was shown that the computations are more effective and thus more precise than those based on Rice expansions.The
The writing of a business plan has become increasingly more highlighted in the academic world during the last few years as courses are being taught on the subject and a number of competitions have been started. Lund Institute of Technology co-organises an annual business plan competition called Venture Cup in order to encourage students and other participants to get into entrepreneurship. People a
Due to the small characteristic molecular size of hydrogen, small leaks are more common in hydrogen systems compared to similar systems with hydrocarbons. This, together with the high reactivity, makes an efficient ventilation system very important in hydrogen applications. There are several models available for ventilation sizing that are based on either a well-mixed assumption or a fully stratif
The adverse health effects associated with long commutes provides additional evidence of the commuting paradox. Better job opportunities and higher incomes in larger local labour markets are offset by the negative consequences of longer commutes including lower levels of life satisfaction. Long commutes extend the work day and time spent commuting is time lost for health beneficial activities such

The Swedish district heating market is becoming increasingly saturated, whilst the UK heat market is about to run into copious turmoil due to the faltering and decreasing levels of natural gas available. Swedish companies are looking to enter new market segments, and there seems to be something stirring under the surface in terms of district heating in the UK. The development of district heating i
