BACKGROUND: Limited data exists of tracking and changes in accelerometer measured physical activity in children. METHODS: Physical activity was assessed by accelerometers for four days in 167 children (boys n=90, girls n=77), aged 9.8±0.6 years. Follow-up measurement was made 2.0±0.1 yrs later (range 1.9-2.1 yrs). General physical activity (GPA) was defined as mean count/minute. Minutes of inact
Abstract The benefit of exercise for breast cancer-treated women is well documented. However, studies of cardiovascular fitness training for women with breast cancer-related arm lymphedema are rare. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of intensive pole walking on arm lymphedema in women treated for breast cancer. Thirty-five women with unilateral lymphedema were included and t
The intraobserver reproducibility of ultrasonic volume blood flow measurements in the human fetus was evaluated in this study. A new approach, simultaneous measurement of the vessel diameter and the flow velocity with a pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasound synchronized with a real-time ultrasound phase-locked echo-tracking system, was used to estimate volume blood flow (VBF) in the fetal descending aort
A technique to estimate fungal growth rates in field samples was tested in soil. The technique is based on the addition of C-14-acetate to a soil slurry and the subsequent uptake and incorporation of the labelled acetate into the fungus specific substance ergosterol by the fungi. The addition of fungal inhibitors decreased acetate incorporation rates, while bacterial inhibitors did not. Fungus-fre
Abstract Determination of the respiratory tract deposition of airborne particles is critical for risk assessment of air pollution, inhaled drug delivery, and understanding of respiratory disease. With the advent of nanotechnology, there has been an increasing interest in the measurement of pulmonary deposition of nanoparticles because of their unique properties in inhalation toxicology and medicin
Interest in modelling electricity prices has, despite its relatively short history, resulted in widespread types of models that tend to be too intricate to incorporate most price characteristics. This thesis pursues a flexible approach that comprehends stylized facts of electricity prices while it still handles complexity in order to facilitate calibration and forecasting. Although time-varying tr
Changes in a national constitution are in their very nature a fundamental shift in a country’s polity. The focus of this essay is how the local and regional consultation bodies reacted to proposed changes in the Swedish constitution leading up to the actual reform in 2010. This essay is specifically aiming towards finding out how constitutional changes are perceived on a local and regional level o
Recent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation. This is theorized as the interaction of two systems – job quality and innovation systems. Increased employment and improved job quality are found to result from inRecent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation.

Strings is a participative performance that explores the driving forces of change and what personal motivations humans have for pursuing their vision. The site of the performance is the University of Lund with its atmospheric environment, history and diverse hubs of knowledgemaking in Lund and Malmö. The hosts are an international group of researchers from all faculties of Lund University covering
The Sit-to-Stand (STS) test is used in clinical practice as an indicator of lower-limb functionality decline, especially for older adults. Due to its high variability, there is no standard approach for categorising the STS movement and recognising its motion pattern. This paper presents a comparative analysis between visual assessments and an automated-software for the categorisation of STS, relyi
Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions of pounds on marketing/R&D-related payments annually to healthcare organisations and healthcare professionals. UK pharmaceutical industry self-regulatory bodies require member companies who sign up to their code of conduct to publish details of their payments. They are also required to publish the methodologies underlying these payments, name
Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plates or sheets have become a common retrofitting approach for sustaining old reinforced concrete structures in the modern era. The capacity of FRP-strengthened structures cannot be accurately estimated because the bond strength between FRP and concrete surface is accurately unpredictable. Various studies are available in the literature to predict
The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). It is shown that gaps have continued to exist in Svalbard’s collection. S
The first aim of this project is to make high-order harmonic (HHG) setups more compact and user-friendly, by including a micro-channel plate (MCP). Simulations of the transmission properties of an MCP has been performed. These simulations displayed introduced structure in the far field, but a very well behaved beam in the near field. Further, the wavefront of the zeroth order diffraction spot of M
I den här studien fördjupas förståelsen kring en grupp psykologers och kuratorers upplevelser om att vara i samtal med klienter, och om hur de påverkas av den sekundära psykiska påfrestningen som kan uppkomma då. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på vilka strategier de använder för att hantera svåra samtal, samt vilka strategier de använder för att bibehålla balansen mellan arbetsliv och privatlivThe results from this study deepens the understanding of how psychologists and welfare officers experiences therapeutical consultations with clients, and also how they are affected by the secondary mental stress that may occur. The objectives of the study are to examine which strategies the interviewees use to manage the impact difficult consultations may have on them selves, as well as which stra
