Abstract:
Leg og ledelse opfattes traditionelt som to adskilte fænomener. I artiklen præsenteres begreberne leg og legekultur. Dernæst introduceres begrebet ledelse. De senere år har dele af ledelsesteorien opgivet den traditionelle opfattelse af ledelse, hvor ledelse blev set som noget, der primært var knyttet til enkeltpersoners handlinger. I stedet anlægger nyere ledelsesteorier et kollektivt og socialt perspektiv på ledelse. I artiklen hævdes det, at der er en række fælles psykologiske, sociologiske, filosofiske og antropologiske overlap mellem nyere måder at definere ledelse og så legebegrebet, sådan som det f.eks. er udviklet af Huizinga og Flemming Mouritsen.

Abstract:
This study sought to determine whether afferent feedback associated with peripheral muscle fatigue inhibits central motor drive (CMD) and thereby limits endurance exercise performance. On two separate days, eight men performed constant-load, single-leg knee extensor exercise to exhaustion (85% of peak power) with each leg (Leg1 and Leg2). On another day, the performance test was repeated with one leg (Leg1) and consecutively (within 10 s) with the other/contralateral leg (Leg2-post). Exercise-induced quadriceps fatigue was assessed by reductions in potentiated quadriceps twitch-force from pre- to postexercise (ΔQtw,pot) in response to supramaximal magnetic femoral nerve stimulation. The output from spinal motoneurons, estimated from quadriceps electromyography (iEMG), was used to reflect changes in CMD. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was recorded during exercise. Time to exhaustion (∼9.3 min) and exercise-induced ΔQtw,pot (∼51%) were similar in Leg1 and Leg2 ( P > 0.5). In the consecutive leg trial, endurance performance of the first leg was similar to that observed during the initial trial (∼9.3 min; P = 0.8); however, time to exhaustion of the consecutively exercising contralateral leg (Leg2-post) was shorter than the initial Leg2 trial (4.7 ± 0.6 vs. 9.2 ± 0.4 min; P < 0.01). Additionally, ΔQtw,pot following Leg2-post was less than Leg2 (33 ± 3 vs 52 ± 3%; P < 0.01). Although the slope of iEMG was similar during Leg2 and Leg2-post, end-exercise iEMG following Leg2-post was 26% lower compared with Leg2 ( P < 0.05). Despite a similar rate of rise, RPE was consistently ∼28% higher throughout Leg2-post vs. Leg2 ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study provides evidence that peripheral fatigue and associated afferent feedback limits the development of peripheral fatigue and compromises endurance exercise performance by inhibiting CMD.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie var att göra en bedömning av den postoperativa förloppet i hemmet hos dagkirurgiska ljumskbråcksopererade patienter. Data insamlade med hjälp av högstrukturerade telefonintervjuer. En enkät med standardiserade frågor och ikryssbara svarsalternativ som kommer har använts vid telefonintervjuerna.Resultaten från de 52 intervjuerna visade att de flesta patienter inte överskred Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 3 i vila eller rörelse dag ett. På dag tre hade de flesta mer smärta vid rörelse än dag ett. De flesta patienterna följde ordinationen de fick av läkaren avseende smärtstillande tabletter. Generellt sett visade studien på få postoperativa komplikationer och hög tillfredsställelse ur operationssynpunkt hos patienterna.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-operative progress for one-day surgical inguinal hernia patients. Data was collected using structured telephone interviews three days after surgery. A questionnaire with standardized questions and multiple-choice response options was used.The results from the 52 interviews showed that most patients did not exceed Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 3 day one when at rest or moving around. On day three most patients had more pain while moving than day 1. Most patients complied with the doctor’s prescription of painkillers. Generally the follow-up study showed the patients had few complications and felt high satisfaction post surgery.

Abstract:
This thesis provides the most comprehensive information available to date, about the presentation of infection, and factors associated with an increased likelihood of developing infection in chronic leg ulcers. These factors include comorbid conditions, medications, psychosocial factors, and local lower-limb factors. A conceptual framework, named Factors for Infection in Chronic Leg Ulcers or FICLUs, was also constructed, which can be used to guide future research in wounds. The thesis recommends a holistic approach when assessing patients with chronic leg ulcers and early interventions to prevent infection.

Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of kinesitherapy applied to children presented with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease during rehabilitation period. The study was performed at V. Tumenienes Children Rehabilitation Center in Kaunas. 22 children (boys) were examined. The efficacy of kinesitherapy was assessed using movement range and leg musculature extent groups’ measurements. The movement function was evaluated using modified Keitel index. The results showed that the movement range of the affected leg has improved in approximately one year during which kinesitherapy procedures were applied (p<0.0001). Statistically significant difference was observed. During treatment, slight changes regarding calf size were observed (p<0.05). The size of the thigh and the calf increased after kinesitherapy course (p<0.0001). Keitel index raised up to 67.9 ± 4.2% (p<0.0001) at the end of the treatment course. Thus, the movement therapy provided at V. Tumenienes Children Rehabilitation Center was effective.

Abstract:
An ulcer is an open wound that remains unhealed even after weeks of treatment. These types of wounds require a long process of treatment due to other underlying health problems. Having an unhealing, painful and often infected wound decreases patients’ life quality significantly. The treatment includes using wound dressing applied by nurses, to protect the wound from infections, collect exudate and provide a closed and sterile environment. During a treatment, which could last for months, patients experience a lot of emotional and physical challenges. Deva is a design concept proposing the use of smart sensors in wound care treatment in a way that it will improve the communication between patients and nurses, by providing information and guidance. The ecosystem consists of a smart wound patch that will turn any wound dressing today into a “smart” one, an electrostimulation therapy sock and digital platforms where the information will be available. This way information on the wound status will be available for the patient, their family members or caregivers and the nurses.This project has been developed by interviewing nurses and wound care professionals from Turkey, Sweden and Denmark. The insights reflect the situation and the healthcare system in these countries and a wound care treatment journey might differ in other settings.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose was to examine actual force (AF) productions of males for accuracy during leg extensions when given a random desired force (DF) ranging from 10-90% of maximal force (MF). Thirty males ranging from 18 to 30 years of age (M = 21.99 + 3.04), who had no previous experience with the test equipment, went through 9 randomly ordered submaximal efforts followed by a maximal effort. Correlations between AF and DF were high (r > .79) and test-retest was consistent between AF (r = .87) and MF (r = .90). Participants consistently undershot DF on both test and retest from 20-90% and overshot DF only at 10%. Power functions revealed exponents of less than 1, indicating that AF grows slower then DF for both test .70 (.95 CI = .63 - .77) and retest .66 (.95 CI = .60 - .73). The results replicate a prior study by Jackson, Martin, Koziris, Ludtke, and Dishman (2001) that used incremental rather than random increases in DF.

Abstract:
Abstract The leg mechanism of a walking machine has a strong influence on the performance of the machine. A successful leg mechanism should be energy efficient, compact in size, strong and simple. In order to achieve good energy efficiency, a walking machine leg should be able to generate an exact or approximate straight line at the foot with only one driving actuator. This paper deals with the synthesis and analysis of a new leg mechanism — the planetary gear leg mechanism. Four types of planetary gear legs are studied. By the SUMT optimization method, a 20 inch tall leg is able to generate an approximate straight line trajectory with a maximum deviation of 0.12805 inches in a 20 inch stroke. The direct and inverse kinematics and velocities of the legs are analyzed. Also, the distribution of actuator force/moment during walking are studied. The results show that this leg design has great potential to be used as a practical walking machine leg.

Abstract:
To alleviate some of the problems associated with upper motor neuron diseases, passive movement and stretching are often prescribed. However, the patient has to make continual and frequent visits to a physical therapist, which is expensive and inconvenient. Therefore, there is a need for devices by which the patient can self-administer some of the prescribed exercise(s) at home. In this paper, the design of a portable unit for self-administered stretching of thigh muscles is presented.

Abstract:
DIPLANOAGAP: Distribution of Plastics in the North Atlantic Garbage Patch Ponta Delgada (Portugal) – Malaga (Spain) 17.08. – 12.09.2019 The expedition POS 536 is part of a multi-disciplinary research initiative of GEOMAR investigating the origin, transport and fate of plastic debris from estuaries to the oceanic garbage patches. The main focus will be on the vertical transfer of plastic debris from the surface and near-surface waters to the deep sea and on the processes that mediate this transport. The obtained data will help to develop quantitative models that provide information about the level of plastic pollution in the different compartments of the open ocean (surface, water column, seafloor). Furthermore, the effects of plastic debris on marine organisms in the open ocean will be assessed. The cruise will provide data about the: (1) abundance of plastic debris with a minimum size of 100 μm as well as the composition of polymer types in the water column at different depths from the sea surface to the seafloor including the sediment, (2) abundance and composition of plastic debris in organic aggregates (“marine snow”), (3) in pelagic and benthic organisms (invertebrates and fish) and in fecal pellets, (4) abundance and the identity of biofoulers (bacteria, protozoans and metazoans) on the surface of plastic debris from different water depths, (5) identification of chemical compounds (“additives”) in the plastic debris and in water samples.

The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the dewatering process after hydrotesting and to examine the internal corrosion threat posed by residual water trapped in crevices and water pushed into a dead leg. A "time to dry" calculation for both cases was conducted based on pipeline operating conditions. Analysis of the evaporation of water trapped in crevices indicated that maintaining low pressures and high temperatures are the most effective measures for drying the trapped water. At the lowest pressure of 14.7 psi and at 100 �F, trapped water can be dried in days. At increased pressure or decreased temperature, a pipeline may become saturated with water vapor, completely stopping evaporation. Other factors such as crevice geometry, water content, and water type had insignificant effects on water drying from a crevice. The geometry considered for water drying in a dead leg included the entire dead leg, a section of the main line, and a section of the lateral line in a horizontal orientation. Analysis indicated that gas flow in the main pipe forced the accumulated liquid water from the dead leg to move upstream in the main and subsequently evacuate through the lateral and pipe exit. The process of purging 99% of the liquid water from the dead leg was rapid, usually within minutes into operation of the pipeline. However, the small droplets, streaks and globules of water that are left behind may take a longer time to evaporate or be purged. A sloped dead leg configuration may enable a standing pool of water to accumulate in the dead leg, which would take substantially longer to evaporate than small water droplets. Further study that ac-counts for different dead leg orientations is recommended to provide a more complete understanding of the internal corrosion risk in dead legs.
