Full textAbstract:
Jusqu'au debut du 20e siecle, fes etait la plus grande ville marocaine. Elle etait aussi la capitale politique, culturelle et le plus grand centre de production et d'echange. C'etait une ville royale, organisee autour d'un centre religieux avec un secteur commercial et de production, et a caractere residentiel. Son espace commercial est bien delimite, hierarchise, souks centraux, secondaires et elementaires. Il est caracterise par des souks specialises, un circuit dominant; celui des boutiquiers et demeure exclusivement masculin. Cette organisation s'explique par une culture authentique, un mode de vie modeste, et par une autoproduction (premiere partie). Cependant, durant l'ere coloniale et apres l'independance, la ville n'est plus la capitale politique et economique. Devenue medina, elle connait un developpement de l'activite commerciale; extension spatiale, apparition des souks populaires et d'un deuxieme circuit, celui des"etalagistes", dont 23% de vendeurs sont des femmes (deuxieme partie). Ceci s'explique par les transformations sociales et economiques de toute une societe en mutation (troisieme partie). Ainsi la medina tend a devenir un espace essentiellement commercial, de plus en plus diversifie<br>Untill the beginning of the 20 th century, fes was the biggest maroccan town. It was the political and cultural capital together with the biggest production and exchange center. It was a royal town, organized around a religious center with a commercial and productive area, and had a residential function. Its commercial areais well demarcated, organized into a hierarchy: central, secundary and elementary"souks". It is caracterized by specialized "souks", with the dominating network of shopkeepers, and remains exclusively a male business. This organization is explained by an authentic culture, a modest way of life and by self-production. Nevertheless, during the colonial area and after independance, fes is not the political and economical capital any longer. It becomes a "medina" and its trade expands; spatial expansion as well, with the rise of popular "souks" and a second network, the stallkeepers, where 23% are female salers. This is explained by the social and economical transformations of a whole society in mutation. Thus the "medina"tends to become an essentially commercial area, more and more diversified

Full textAbstract:
Early and medieval Muslim culture exhibits a preoccupation with boundaries. Called "wall thought" in the dissertation, this preoccupation takes exemplary architectural form in the high-sided, labyrinthine structure of Fes' walled city, or medina. In Islamic law, it takes the form of The Book of Walls, a genre pertaining to the regulation of external and party walls within the medina environment. In the gendered aspects of Islam, it commonly takes the form of women's enclaustration and veiling. The locus of all these and other aspects of "wall thought", the medieval medina of Fes presents a sociologically interesting environment, but one whose nature has never been investigated. The following dissertation represents an attempt to correct this. Demonstrating the medina to be defined and determined by its walls, the dissertation uses the legal genre The Book of Walls to identify the meaning of a wall in medieval Muslim thought. Applying this meaning to Fes medina, the dissertation arrives at a conclusion concerning the nature of its environment. Lastly, the dissertation compares this deductively reached conclusion with one inductively reached by way of Fes' medieval historiography, including the foundation legend recorded there. As an interdisciplinary investigation, the dissertation comprises a number of subjects from within the academic field of Middle Eastern Studies, including Maghribi history and historiography, Islamic law, gender and urban studies. Its predominant concern is architectural, attentive to the spaces architecture bounds and people inhabit.

Baxevanis, Fotios. "Selection and analysis of predictive fed-state gastric biorelevant media." Thesis, University of Bath, 2017. https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.760886.
Full textAbstract:
Dissolution testing is a tool towards prediction of dosage form behaviour under physiologically relevant conditions. The use of simple aqueous media dictated by the pharmacopoeias cannot predict the drug’s in vivo response as their physicochemical properties differ significantly from the complex environment of the gastrointestinal tract. To improve the predictive potential of drug dissolution, the development of more “biorelevant” media is essential. In particular, simulating drug dissolution in the gastric environment after administration of a meal still remains a challenge. Furthermore, except for the optimisation of the medium composition, the analysis of these usually complex heterogeneous media has also been challenging, due to the lack of a unified guideline for the selection of medium and analytical assay. The principal aim of the thesis was the development of a simple and robust analytical methodology, optimised on the basis of the drug’s physicochemical properties, interaction with excipients in a formulation and fat partitioning behaviour. The potential use of sample clean-up techniques including protein precipitation (PP) and solid phase extraction (SPE) was investigated. Optimised clean-up protocols were successfully used for extraction and quantification of drugs of a wide range of lipophilicity in milk-based fed biorelevant media. It was demonstrated that prior knowledge of the active ingredient’s physicochemical properties, such as log P, aqueous solubility, ionisation and protein binding can be used towards the selection of optimum extraction conditions. Moreover, the presence of certain excipients, when mixed with the APIs can significantly affect the methods’ efficiency and must thereforebe taken into consideration during analytical method development. Interactions between active ingredients and lipid part of the fed gastric content were also investigated, via development of biphasic “drug partition to fat” in vitro setups. The rate of drug partition to fat was successfully predicted based on the drug’s physicochemical properties and in vivo food effect. Finally, a simpler medium, alternative to Fed State Simulated Gastric Fluid (FeSSGF) was developed, requiring a less laborious extraction protocol. Overall, this thesis has provided useful insight on the critical aspects of fed gastric medium and analytical methodology development. It provides a point of reference for future work on better understanding on drug solubilisation in the gastric fed state and correlation with in vivo food effect.

Full textAbstract:
Studiens syfte är belysa och tydliggöra vilka diskurser som är rådande om människor som hamnat i arbetslöshet fas 3 och se hur dessa diskurser konstrueras i svenska dagstidningar. De tidningarna som vi använt oss av i analysen är Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs Posten och Svenska Dagbladet. Metoden består utav ett integrerat teragerat perspektiv med begrepp ur den socialkonstruktionistiska idétraditionen avseende framställandet av den arbetslöse kopplat till den mediala exponeringen av arbetslösa i fas 3. Vi använder oss främst av begrepp ur diskursteorin och kritisk diskursanalys. I analysen används begreppet subjektspositioner ifrån diskurspsykologin. Slutsatser i studien är att de mediala diskurser som råder om arbetslösa i fas 3 till stora delar är ideologiska. De mediala diskurserna positionerar de arbetslösa negativt samt tillskriver dessa olika egenskaper med negativa förtecken. Resultatet i studien visar på två olika diskurser, den strukturella diskursen och den individualistiska diskusen. Diskurserna kämpar om tolkningsföreträde av den rådande uppfattningen kring jobb- och utvecklingsgarantins tredje fas. Den första textanalysen belyser en föreställning om den arbetslöse i fas 3 som sammankopplas med exploatering av den arbetslöse samt arbetslöshet och utanförskap. I studiens djupare analys, redogörs det för en diskursiv kamp som har uppstått i media. De ideologiska skillnader som genomsyras i tidningsartiklarna berörs tillsammans med en redogörelse för subjektspositionerna.

Full textAbstract:
The RSS protocol allows, among other uses, for portable media player devices to download files automatically from the internet. Although text RSS feed on portable media devices is currently limited, it is possible that text feeds will become a ubiquitous feature on future PDA/media crossover devices. With the increasing usage of video-enabled portable media players, video content on these devices will also gain strength in the consumer market. Through qualitative interviews this pilot study hopes to investigate usage of new media streams on portable devices, with additional focus on RSS feeds, content categorization and interface category customization. Do users prefer to display their content and RSS feeds by a descriptive category, or by the website from which the feed was retrieved? In this study we hope to gain insight into which style users prefer, if any.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to investigate the fully and partially saturated behaviour of soils, behaviour that can be extended also to geomaterials like concrete.
The physical - mathematical approach proposed within this manuscript is a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical model, suitable for consolidation / subsidence analyses of unsaturated soils. This coupled formulation, can therefore be qualified as u – pw – pg – (T), by the introduction of basic state variables involved in the processes, that here are: the displacements field u, the liquid (water) pressure field pw, the gas (dry air and water vapour) pressure field pg, and eventually the temperature T that is involved on the modelling of non – isothermal process. Due to the coexistence of two different fluid phases, liquid and gaseous one, this model can be regarded as a multiphase approach to a deforming porous medium as proposed by Lewis and Schrefler in the framework of the hybrid mixture theory for porous media firstly presented by Hassanizadeh and Gray and Zienkiewicz et al.
The evolution at macroscopic scale of the state variables above mentioned, in particular of pressures of both liquid and gas, is basically influenced by the microstructure of the material that characterizes the behaviour of a soil with relation on capillary effects and deformability. The physical approach proposed here is based on averaging techniques applied to the physical quantities that can be estimated in a representative elementary volume (REV) . With the addition of water retention functions that provide a description of the relation that exists among capillary pressure and the degree of water saturation, a complete set of fluid balance equations and mechanical and thermodynamic equilibrium equations can be obtained for the medium in a macroscopic scale.
A coupled (thermo)-hydro-mechanical formulation u – p – (T) that deals with a fully saturated porous medium has been implemented with success in the past in the F.E. two-dimensional program PLASCON and its further extensions to three- dimensionality with PLASCON3D.
The present work focused on the extension and upgrading of the relative simple single phase theory along with its numerical implementations, towards a more realistic multiphase description of the porous material, where voids may be filled up with both liquid and gas that interacts each other by mean of the concept of capillary pressure. An improved code PLASCON3D_PS based on the fully coupled u – pw – pg – (T) formulation and developed from previous versions has been realized. Due to the lack in literature of three-dimensional coupled numerical and experimental tests, some numerical results of benchmark tests and real case problems, that derive from two-dimensional domains, will be presented.<br>Lo scopo del lavoro presentato con questa tesi è di studiare il comportamento dei terreni in stato di totale e parziale saturazione, comportamento che può essere anche esteso ad altri geomateriali come il calcestruzzo.
Il modello fisico - matematico proposto in questo lavoro è denominato termo- idro- meccanico in formulazione accoppiata, adatto ad analisi di consolidazione / subsidenza per suoli non saturi. La formulazione accoppiata può essere quindi qualificata come u – pw – pg – (T), attraverso l’introduzione delle variabili di stato, che qui sono: il campo degli spostamenti u, il campo di pressione liquida (acqua) pw e quello di pressione del gas (aria secca e vapore acqueo) pg ed eventualmente la temperatura T coinvolta nella modellazione di processi non isotermi. Data la coesistenza di due differenti fasi fluide, liquida e gassosa, il modello può essere visto come un approccio multifase al mezzo poroso deformabile, come già proposto da Lewis and Schrefler nel contesto della teoria delle miscele ibride per mezzo poroso, inizialmente presentata da Hassanizadeh and Gray e Zienkiewicz et al.
L’evoluzione a scala macroscopica delle variabili di stato menzionate sopra, in particolare delle pressioni del liquido e del gas, sono fondamentalmente influenzate dalla microstruttura del materiale che caratterizza il comportamento del suolo in relazione agli effetti capillari e alla deformabilità. L’approccio fisico proposto qui è basato sull’uso di tecniche di media applicate alle grandezze fisiche stimate su un volume rappresentativo elementare (REV). Con l’aggiunta di funzioni di ritenzione dell’acqua che forniscono una descrizione della relazione che esiste tra pressione capillare e grado di saturazione dell’acqua, si può ottenere un set completo di equazioni di bilancio di massa per i fluidi e di equilibrio meccanico e termodinamico per il mezzo a scala macroscopica.
Una formulazione accoppiata termo-idro-meccanica u – p – (T) che tratta mezzi porosi completamente saturi è stata implementata con successo in passato nel codice bidimensionale a elementi finiti PLASCON e le successive estensioni alla tridimensionalità con PLASCON3D.
Il presente lavoro si focalizza sull’estensione e aggiornamento della relativamente semplice teoria a singola fase, con relative implementazioni numeriche, verso una più realistica descrizione multifase del materiale poroso, dove i vuoti possono essere riempiti da liquido e gas che interagiscono tra loro attraverso il concetto di pressione capillare. Sulla base delle versioni precedenti è stato realizzato un codice chiamato PLASCON3D_PS che implementa la formulazione accoppiata u – pw – pg – (T). Data la mancanza in letteratura di test sperimentali e numerici su domini tridimensionali, verranno presentati alcuni risultati numerici di benchmark test e casi reali derivanti da domini bidimensionali.

I det här examensarbetet har vi undersökt hur socionomer upplever socionomyrket i relation till allmänhetens attityder och evidensbaserad praktik. Studien består av sex kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma socionomer inom olika kommuner och enheter. Vi har använt oss av en tematisk analys kallad Framework. Studiens resultat visade att många socionomer upplever att media ofta rapporterar negativt kring socionomer och socialtjänsten samt att allmänhetens attityder ofta var negativa. Samtliga socionomer hade ändå fått höra positiva saker om yrket från den direkta omgivningen och kände en yrkesstolthet. Kunskapen om evidensbaserad praktik visade sig variera mellan socionomerna men ansågs främst vara ett stöd i det vardagliga arbetet.<br>In this thesis, we have examined how social workers experience their profession with consideration to public attitudes and evidence-based practice. The study consists of six qualitative interviews with professional social workers in different municipalities and units. We have used a thematic analysis called Framework. The studies result showed that many social workers have experienced negative attitudes about the profession described in the media and from the public. All the social workers had heard positive things about the profession from their surroundings and felt pride in their work. Knowledge of evidence-based practice was found to vary between the social workers, but was primarily considered to be a support in everyday work.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, the author proposes and presents a novel simulation technique for the analysis of multilayered Flexural Plate Wave (FPW) devices based on the convergence of the Finite Element method (FEM) with classical Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) analysis techniques and related procedures. Excellent agreement has been obtained between the author's approach and other more conventional modelling techniques. Utilisation of the FEM allows the performance characteristics of a FPW structure to be critically investigated and refined before undertaking the costly task of fabrication. Based on a series of guidelines developed by the author, it is believed the proposed technique can also be applied to other acoustic wave devices. The modelling process developed is quite unique as it is independent of the problem geometry as verified by both two and three dimensional simulations. A critical review of FEM simulation parameters is presented and their effect on the frequency domain response of a FPW transducer given. The technique is also capable of simultaneously modelling various second-order effects, such as triple transit, diffraction and electromagnetic feedthrough, which often requires the application of several different analysis methodologies. To verify the results obtained by the author's novel approach, several commonly used numerical techniques are discussed and their limitations investigated. The author initially considers the Transmission Matrix method, where it is shown that an inherent numerical instability prevents solution convergence when applied to large frequency-thickness products and complex material properties which are characteristic of liquids. In addition the Stiffness Matrix method is investigated, which is shown to be unconditionally stable. Based on this technique, particle displacement profiles and mass sensitivity are presented for multilayered FPW structures and compared against simpler single layer devices commonly quoted in literature. Significant differences are found in mass sensitivity between single layer and multilayered structures. Frequency response characteristics of a FPW device are then explored via a spectral domain Green's function, which serves as a further verification technique of the author's novel analysi s procedure. Modifications to the spectral domain Green's function are discussed and implemented due to the change in solution geometry from SAW to FPW structures. Using the developed techniques, an analysis is undertaken on the applicability of FPW devices for sensing applications in liquid media. Additions are made to both the Stiffness Matrix method and FEM to allow these techniques to accurately incorporate the influence of a liquid layer. The FEM based approach is then applied to obtain the frequency domain characteristics of a liquid loaded FPW structure, where promising results have been obtained. Displacement profiles are considered in liquid media, where it is shown that a tightly coupled Scholte wave exists that is deemed responsible for most reported liquid sensing results. The author concludes the theoretical analysis with an in-depth analysis of a FPW device when applied to density, viscosity and mass sensing applications in liquid media. It is shown that a single FPW device is potentially capable of discriminating between density and viscosity effects, which is typically a task that requires a complex and costly sensor array.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur grekiska journalister på de fyra största dagstidningarna och en av de största söndagstidningarna ser på sitt yrke. Undersökningen avseräven de yrkesmässiga villkoren och vilka problem grekisk press handskas med. Grekiska medier har en lång historia av direkta band till staten och olika politiska partier. Objektiviteten har sällan satts idet främsta rummet. Numera har dessa band luckrats upp då internet har en bredare spridning och det finns ett bredare utbud av privata kanalerna både inom television och radio. Inledningsvis diskuteras hur grekisk media ser ut idag. Bakgrundsdelen ger en historisk återblick i hur det grekiska mediesystemet har sett ut. Konflikterna som beskrivs är viktiga att ha i åtanke då resultaten redovisas. Avslutningsvis presenteras så resultaten från själva undersökningen, vilken baseras på 55 enkäter som har delats ut till journalister på fem av de största tidningsredaktionerna i Aten. Korta diskussioner om resultaten följer under slutsatser och diskussion och anknyter till föregående kapitel. Det visade sig enligt undersökningen där 55 journalister svarade på ett frågeformulär angående grekisk journalistik att en arbetsvecka i snitt är längre än 40 timmar och snittlönen för journalisterna i undersökningen ligger mellan 1 000 och 1 500 euro i månaden. De flesta av journalisterna skulle vilja arbeta färre timmar i veckan. Journalisterna ansåg att det råder hård konkurrens kolleger emellan och innehållet i tidningarna ansågs vara hårt styrt av ledningen. Professionell utveckling ansågs vara lättare för män än för kvinnor att uppnå. Journalistens roll bedömdes främst vara att förklara komplicerade händelser och att kritisera samhällets orättvisor. Det största problemet inom grekisk press enligt de journalister som besvarade frågeformuläret ansågs vara näringslivets och politikens stora inflytande.

O processo de morte por apoptose pode ser dividido em duas vias: intrínseca e extrínseca. A sinalização via FAS (extrínseca) pode ocorrer independente (células Tipo I) ou dependente da mitocôndria (células Tipo II). É importante considerar que: 1) Resultados prévios mostraram que doses subletais de CHX foram capazes de sensibilizar células Tipo I e Tipo II à apoptose e de converter células Tipo II em Tipo I; 2) Um dos mecanismos envolvidos pode ser o recrutamento de FAS para as \"balsas lipídicas\"; 3) A PGE2 ativa PKA pelo aumento de cAMP via EP2 e EP4, que fosforila ezrina, envolvida nesse processo; 4) A PGE2 pode induzir apoptose em linhagens celulares e sensibilizá-las a esse processo. Assim, formulamos a hipótese de que a PGE2 poderia, assim como a CHX, sensibilizar certas células à apoptose e converter células Tipo II em Tipo I. Esse efeito não foi observado em células DO11.10 nas quais a apoptose foi induzida por CD95L solúvel e em células Tipo I e Tipo II, nas quais a apoptose foi induzida pelo anticorpo agonista anti-FAS.<br>The death process by apoptosis can be divided into two pathways: intrinsic and extrinsic. The signaling by FAS (extrinsic) may occur in a mitochondrial independent (Type I cells) or dependent (Type II cells) manner. It is important to consider that: 1) Previous results demonstrated that sub-lethal doses of CHX were able to sensitize type I and type II cells to apoptosis and to convert type II cells into type I; 2) One of the mechanisms involved can be FAS recruitment to \"lipid rafts\"; 3) PGE2 activates PKA by increasing cAMP via EP2 and EP4, which phosphorylates of Ezrin, involved in this process; 4) PGE2 can induces apoptosis in cell lines and can to sensitize them to this process. So, we hypothesized that PGE2 could, similarly to CHX, sensitize certain cells to apoptosis and convert type II cells into type I. This effect was not observed in DO11.10 cells in which apoptosis was induced by soluble CD95L and in type I and type II cells, in which apoptosis was induced by agonist anti-FAS antibody.

Full textAbstract:
L’augmentation rapide de la population mondiale et des pratiques industrielles et agricoles ont exacerbé l’épuisement des nutriments essentiels pour la croissance des plantes, phosphore en particulier, étant lui-même une ressource nonrenouvelable. Après des années d’exploitation agricoles et miniers écologiquement laxistes, la société se trouve coincée entre une pénurie croissante d'éléments nutritifs et la fréquence croissante de proliférations d'algues nuisibles (HAB) causées par la lixiviation de phosphore dans les systèmes aquatiques. Toutefois, ceci présente une opportunité de développer des nouvelles technologies permettant d'éliminer, de récupérer et de réutiliser le phosphore provenant de cours d'eau pollués. L'une de ces technologies est l'adsorption nano-renforcée. Cette étude a évalué le potentiel de désorber le phosphore d'une résine échangeuse d'ions hybridée avec des nanoparticules d'oxyde de fer pour quatre solutions de régénérations différentes en utilisant une approche de plan d’expériences. Des nouvelles solutions de régénération utilisant un mélange KOH / K2SO4 et une solution alcaline de NH4OH se sont révélées comparables à la solution "témoin" de KOH et de H2SO4. Parmi les 4 méthodes de régénération étudiées, la solution de NH4OH présente le potentiel le plus élevé car il s’agit d’un déchet valorisé. Son efficacité de désorption est comparable à celle de la solution de contrôle et elle n’a démontré aucune perte de la longévité de la résine après cinq cycles d’adsorption et de désorption. Sur la base des données du plan d’expériences, une série de modèles de régression a été développée pour permettre de mieux comprendre la concentration de phosphore attendue d'un processus de régénération, en tenant compte de la chimie de régénération, du volume de traitement, de la vitesse de rinçage et de la résistance de la solution alcaline. Les solutions de post-désorption de régénération riches en nutriments semblent prometteuses pour une utilisation ultérieure. Les travaux futurs devraient inclure le développement de modèles de procédé afin de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de cette désorption. Dans l’ensemble, la technologie d’adsorption nano-améliorée offre une solution rentable et durable au problème du phosphore dans les applications de traitement des eaux usées à travers le monde.<br>Rapid increases in the world’s population and to-date industrial and agricultural practices have exacerbated the depletion of essential nutrients in today’s society. After years of environmentally lax agricultural and mining processes, society finds itself trapped between increasing nutrient shortage and the increased frequency of harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused by phosphorus leaching into water systems. New technologies that allow for removal and subsequent recovery and reuse of phosphorus from polluted streams is imperative. One such technology is nanoenhanced adsorption, which may allow to produce a valuable nutrient-rich solution upon desorption of the saturated media. This study evaluated the potential of four regeneration chemistries to desorb phosphorus from a commercially available ion exchange resin hybridized with iron-oxide nanoparticles using a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach. Novel regeneration solutions using a KOH/K2SO4 blend and a recovered NH4OH alkaline solution proved to be comparable to the "control" solution of KOH and H2SO4. Among the four regeneration methods studied, using the NH4OH solution shows the highest potential because: i) it is a valorized waste stream, ii) it showed a desorption efficiency comparable to the control solution, and iii) it did not demonstrate any dampening of the resin longevity after five adsorption and desorption cycles. Based on the DoE data, a series of regression models was developed to generate understanding with regard to expected phosphorus concentration from a regeneration process considering the regeneration chemistry, the treatment volume, the rinse speed, and the strength of the alkaline solution. Nutrient-rich regeneration solutions post-desorption show promising for subsequent use as hydroponic fertilizers or precursors for the P fertilizer industry. Future work should include the development of mechanistic process models to gain an even better understanding of the mechanics behind the desorption. Overall, the nano-enhanced adsorptive technology proposes a cost-effective and sustainable solution to the phosphorus problem in wastewater treatment applications across the globe.

Doctoral thesis, Saechsische Landesbibliothek- Staats- und Universitaetsbibliothek Dresden, 2013. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:14-qucosa-104411.
Full textAbstract:
Numerical analysis of multi-field problems in porous and fractured media is an important subject for various geotechnical engineering tasks such as the management of geo-resources (e.g. engineering of geothermal, oil and gas reservoirs) as well as waste management. For practical usage, e.g. for geothermal, simulation tools are required which take into account both coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes and the uncertainty of geological data, i.e. the model parametrization. For modeling fractured rocks, equivalent porous medium or multiple continuum model approaches are often only the way currently due to difficulty to handle geomechanical discontinuities. However, they are not applicable for prediction of flow and transport in subsurface systems where a few fractures dominates the system behavior. Thus modeling coupled problems in discretely fractured porous media is desirable for more precise analysis.
The subject of this work is developing a framework of the finite element method (FEM) for modeling coupled THM problems in discretely fractured and non-fractured porous media including thermal water flow, advective-diffusive heat transport, and thermoporoelasticity. Pre-existing fractures are considered. Systems of discretely fractured porous media can be considered as a problem of interacted multiple domains, i.e. porous medium domain and discrete fracture domain, for hydraulic and transport processes, and a discontinuous problem for mechanical processes. The FEM is required to take into account both kinds of the problems. In addition, this work includes developing a methodology for the data uncertainty using the FEM model and investigating the uncertainty impacts on evaluating coupled THM processes. All the necessary code developments in this work has been carried out with a scientific open source project OpenGeoSys (OGS).
In this work, fluid flow and heat transport problems in interactive multiple domains are solved assuming continuity of filed variables (pressure and temperature) over the two domains. The assumption is reasonable if there are no infill materials in fractures. The method has been successfully applied for several numerical examples, e.g. modeling three-dimensional coupled flow and heat transport processes in discretely fractured porous media at the Gross Schoenebck geothermal site (Germany), and three-dimensional coupled THM processes in porous media at the Urach Spa geothermal site (Germany).
To solve the mechanically discontinuous problems, lower-dimensional interface elements (LIEs) with local enrichments have been developed for coupled problems in a domain including pre-existing fractures. The method permits the possibility of using existing flow simulators and having an identical mesh for both processes. It enables us to formulate the coupled problems in monolithic scheme for robust computation. Moreover, it gives an advantage in practice that one can use existing standard FEM codes for groundwater flow and easily make a coupling computation between mechanical and hydraulic processes. Example of a 2D fluid injection problem into a single fracture demonstrated that the proposed method can produce results in strong agreement with semi-analytical solutions.
An uncertainty analysis of THM coupled processes has been studied for a typical geothermal reservoir in crystalline rock based on the Monte-Carlo method. Fracture and matrix are treated conceptually as an equivalent porous medium, and the model is applied to available data from the Urach Spa and Falkenberg sites (Germany). Reservoir parameters are considered as spatially random variables and their realizations are generated using conditional Gaussian simulation. Two reservoir modes (undisturbed and stimulated) are considered to construct a stochastic model for permeability distribution. We found that the most significant factors in the analysis are permeability and heat capacity. The study demonstrates the importance of taking parameter uncertainties into account for geothermal reservoir evaluation in order to assess the viability of numerical modeling.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, the propagation characteristics of the biological optical waveguides, considering the materials as lossy in the optical frequencies, have been analysed. It has been found that the losses present in the biological materials in optical frequencies are not negligible, and the loss values have significant effects on the propagation characteristics of these waveguides. In biological optical waveguides, each waveguide is surrounded by parallel waveguides so that the propagation characteristics would be different from that of single waveguide present in a homogeneous material. In this thesis, the impacts of the presence of the neighbouring waveguides on the propagation characteristics of a waveguide are studied in details. Dispersion characteristics of the waveguides have been investigated, and the effects of the material loss, presence of the neighbouring waveguides and the presence of multi-layer W-fibre like structure on the dispersion characteristics have also been studied. The modal characteristics, the time-domain evolution of the signal and the diffraction characteristics have been integrated to explain some of the still unanswered questions in the visual systems. An attempt has been made to explain the Stiles-Crawford effect of human retina in light of the findings of this thesis. A full-vectorial H-field based finite element method (FEM) is used for the modal solutions, Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) is used to study the time evolution of the signals through the waveguides, and the Diffraction profiles have been obtained by Rayleigh-Sommerfeld(RS) diffraction integral.

She is both a narrator and the head person in her narrative. Her narrative turned out to be a dialogue between two genres namely her trauma story and her life story. By experience violence has been associated with masculinity and powr, which is discussed in some detail. Victims are often exposed in media narratives. This study has studied the narratives, the narrative of the victim and narrative of the local papers in Gotland about the same incident. There were differences as to content, forms and goals of their narratives. The victim expressed indirectly a wish to preserve their cultural identy and to regain balance in their life while the local papers want to preserve the reputation of the possibility of good and safe living in the isle of Gotland. In addition to this a short comparison of the used method of narrative analysis is undertaken.

Full textAbstract:
Inledning: Arbetsmiljön är en viktig aspekt att ta hänsyn till för att undvika skador. Det är allt från ergonomiska skador till sjukdomar som kan förhindras genom att använda sig av rätt teknik och skyddsutrustning. En annan viktig del inom tandteknikeryrket är att laboratorierna måste ta ansvar för sina handlingar, till exempel val av material och materialhantering samt fokus på arbetstagarnas säkerhet. Slutligen för att kunna uppnå ett optimalt resultat krävs det att laboratorierna är kvalitetssäkrade. Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur tandtekniska arbetsplatser ser ut, utifrån ett arbetsmiljöperspektiv.Material & metod: Intervjuerna genomfördes på tandtekniska laboratorier i Malmö genom att ha semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fem dental laboratorier medverkade i undersökningen, var vid respektive laboratoriechefer och skyddsombud intervjuades.Resultat:Studien påvisade medvetna laboratoriechefer/skyddsombud som hade planer på hur de skulle gå tillväga för att uppnå ett bra resultat med gynnsamma arbetsmiljöförhållande. Fyra av fem respondenter konstaterade att arbetstagarna är medvetna om riskerna som kan uppstå på arbetsplatsen.Slutsats:Slutsatserna som kan dras med beaktande av studiens begränsningar är att:•Intervjuerna visade att respondenterna är medvetna om hur en optimal verksamhet kan uppnås utifrån ett arbetsmiljöperspektiv. Dock tas inte alltid ställning till det på grund av bland annat brist på resurser.•Studien visade att mätningar på ventilation och utsug utförs regelbundet för att säkerställa att allt är under kontroll.<br>Introduction: The work environment is an important aspect to consider in order to avoid damage. One way to prevent injuries, diseases and poor ergonomics is by using protective equipment that are provided for such things. Another important part of the dental technician profession is that laboratories must take responsibilities for their actions. They need to consider the right use of materials and how to handle them correctly. The laboratory must also focus on the employee’s safety. At last, in order to achieve an optimal result, it is required that laboratories are quality assured.Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate how a dental laboratory looks from a work environment perspectiveMaterial and method: The semi-structed interviews were held in dental laboratories in Malmö. Five dental laboratories participated in the survey in which laboratory manager/safety representative were interviewed.Results: The study showed positive results and awareness among laboratory managers/safety representatives that have knowledge of how to achieve favorable working conditions. Four out of five respondents established that the employees are aware of the risks that may occur in the workplace.Conclusion: Within the scope of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn:• The interviews showed that the respondents are aware of how to achieve an optimal work environment, but they do not always have the resources to do so. • The study showed that measurements of ventilation and suction are performed regularly to ensure that everything is under control.

Full textAbstract:
The workplace has a direct impact on the physical, psychological, economic and social well-being of the workers. A healthy workplace leads to increased health among the employees which also makes the employees more productive (Källestål, 2004). A poor working environment can have negative consequences for individuals, companies and society (SOU, 2009:47).This is a qualitative study that investigates companies’ view of health promotion and how they practice health promotion in working life. Five private and five public companies, with representatives from the management were interviewed. The result showed that the companies looked at health promotion as means to support and create opportunities for the health of the employees. Ergonomics and work environment were the main drivers linked to health promotion. All companies had efforts for health promotion and the foremost was health care contributions which were offered annually. However, it appeared that few workers took advantage of it. Leadership proved to be very important for a healthy workplace. The companies´ visions for health promotion were that they would be an attractive workplace and that they wanted the employees to feel good at work. This was important because the companies wanted to benefit the business as well as the workers. The result agrees well with the literature, but it was unexpected that the companies would have such a broad view of health and health promotion.

För att kunna svara på studiens frågeställningar har en kvalitativ metod använts. Metoden har inspirerats av Steinar Kvales metodprocess och dess olika steg, vilka har anpassats efter studiens syfte och förutsättningar. Studien är baserad på skriftliga intervjuer med fem olika journalister som alla använder onlineplattformar och sociala medier i sitt dagliga arbete. Resultatet av denna undersökning visar tecken på att journalistrollen påverkas en hel del av onlineplattformar och sociala medier – dels till att bli en yrkesroll där kravet på multikompetens är högst närvarande, men också till att bli en mer stressad yrkesroll. Journalisterna som intervjuats i denna studie signalerar att teknikutveckling och de nya verktyg och plattformar som skapas av den, i hög grad påverkar journalistrollen då de idag är nödvändiga medel i en journalists dagliga arbete. Journalistrollen är idag beroende av onlineplattformar och sociala medier, samt av en kunskap om dem, då det är där publiken finns. Studien visar också att dagens journalister till stor del är beroende av sin publik för att nå höga trafiksiffror och därmed satta ekonomiska mål, vilket åsidosätter fokuset på det publicistiska. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet i denna studie att onlineplattformar och sociala medier bidrar med mycket positivt till journalister i det dagliga arbetet, men påverkar också journalistrollen till att bli en allt svagare profession.

Full textAbstract:
Background: High bodyfat is linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases for example diabetestype 2 and cardiovascular diseases. This has led to body composition analysis being a way ofmeasuring overall health. There are different ways to perform the body composition analysis.One of the more common and less expensive, yet very accurate methods, are throughbioelectrical impedance. Compared to the gold standard of body composition analysis,DEXA, the Inbody-770 showed a 99% correlation. The Inbody-770 uses bioelectricimpedance and is used through this study. Purpose: This study was performed in order toinvestigate how fed vs fasted state influence Inbody measurements and whether acute trainingeffects the results of bioelectric impedance. This is done to test the manufacturers pretestguidelines. Method: Fifteen young men with a mean age of 19 (years) measured their bodycomposition with the Inbody on two different occasions; one was in a fed state and the otherwas in a fasted. After the Inbody, the test persons performed a modified version of theWingate test. When the Wingate was done, they rested for five minutes before taking theInbody test again. Results: A decrease in bodyweight and muscle mass and an increase in fatmass was observed after the Wingate test both in fasting and fed conditions. Conclusion: Foroptimal usage of Inbody a well-structured protocol is needed. Training and food intake didhave acute effect on Inbody measurement when comparing pre and posttest.<br>Bakgrund: Högt kroppsfett är kopplat till högre risk för diabetes och hjärt- ochkärlsjukdomar samt även andra kroniska sjukdomar.

En av de vanligare och billigare alternativen är via bioelektriskimpedans vilket har en korrelation på 99% till den bästa mätmetoden inom området. Inbody770 användes i denna studien vilket använder sig av bioelektrisk impedans. Syfte: Dennastudie undersökte hur resultatet av Inbody påverkas när man mäter i ett fastande tillstånd ochefter man har ätit samt hur akut träning påverkar resultatet av bioelektrisk impedans. Dettagjordes för att testa rekommendationerna satta av tillverkarna av Inbody-770. Metod: Femtonunga män med en medianålder på 19 år utförde testerna vid två olika tillfällen. Ett avtillfällena var i ett fastande tillstånd och det andra efter att de hade ätit frukost. När de kom påplats fick de utföra Inbody testet och efter detta utförde de en modifierad version av Wingatetestet. Efter Wingate vilade de i fem minuter för att sedan utföra Inbody igen. Resultat: Minskning i vikt och muskelmassa och ökning i fettmassa observerades efter Wingate testetvid både fastande och efter att testpersonerna hade ätit. Konklusion: För att få fullanvändning av Inbody så behövs ett protokoll så att varje testtillfälle har sammautgångspunkt. Denna studie visade att träning och matintag har en akut påverkan på Inbodymättningar när man jämför före och efter Wingate testet.

Full textAbstract:
Undulatory locomotion is a common and powerful strategy used in nature at different biological scales by a broad range of living organisms, from flagellated bacteria to prehistoric snakes, which have overcome the complexity of living in ”flowable” media. By taking inspiration from this evolution-induced strategy, we aim at modelling the locomotion in a granular and viscous environment with the objective to provide more insights for designing robots for soil-like media exploration. Moreover, in contrast to common types of movement, the granular locomotion is still not well understood and is an open and challenging field.
We approached this phenomenon with several tools: (i.) numerically, via coupling the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Discrete Element Method (DEM) using ABAQUS; (ii.) analytically, by employing the Lagrangian formalism to derive the equations of motion of a discrete and continuous system subject to non-conservative forces, and (iii.) experimentally, by creating an ad-hoc set up in order to observe the migration of microfibres used for the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
The computational attempts to model the motion in a granular medium involved the simulation of the dynamics of an elastic beam (FEM) surrounded by rigid spherical particles (DEM). A propulsion mechanism was introduced by sinusoidally forcing the beam’s tip normally to the longitudinal axis, while the performance of the locomotion was evaluated by means of a parametric study. Depending on the parameters of the external excitation, after a transient phase, the slender body reached a steady-state with a constant translational velocity.
In order to gain physical insights, we studied a simplified version of the previous continuous beam by introducing a discrete multi-bar system. The dynamics of the latter was analytically derived, by taking into account the forces exchanged between the locomotor and the environment, according to the Resistive Force Theory. By numerically solving the equations of motion and evaluating the input energy and dissipations, we were able to define the efficiency and thus provide an effective tool to optimise the locomotion.
It is worth mentioning that the two approaches, despite the different physical hypothesis, show a qualitatively and quantitatively good accordance.
The numerical and analytical models previously analysed have shown promising results for the interpretation of "ad-hoc" experiments that demonstrate the migration of a microfibre embedded in a spinal cord-like matrix. This migration needs to be avoided, once the regenerative microfibre is implanted in the lesioned spinal cord, for the sake of the patients health.

Dans le cadre de ce travail de thèse, la polymérisation de type RAFT a été exploitée pour synthétiser des particules de latex magnétiques décorées de polymères stimulables. Cinq (co)polymères hydrophiles ont tout d'abord été préparés via la (co)polymérisation RAFT en solution d'acide acrylique (AA) et de méthacrylate de 2-diméthylaminoéthyle (MADAME). Les agents macromoléculaires obtenus (macroRAFT) : des homopolymères de PAA ou PMADAME ainsi que des copolymères P(AA-co-MADAME), présentent une sensibilité au pH et à la température. Ces macroRAFT hydrophiles ont ensuite été utilisés dans des réactions d’extension de chaîne avec du styrène conduisant à la formation de copolymères à blocs amphiphiles bien définis. Puis, des dispersions aqueuses d’agrégats (clusters) de nanoparticules d’oxyde de fer (OF) ont ensuite été préparées via un procédé de mini-émulsification/évaporation de solvant, en utilisant les copolymères à blocs comme stabilisants. Après optimisation des conditions expérimentales (sonication, concentration de macroRAFT, pH), des agrégats de taille contrôlée (45 à 300 nm) ont pu être obtenus. Ces clusters ont ensuite été utilisés comme semence lors de la polymérisation en émulsion du styrène, conduite en présence d’un agent de réticulation.

First, five hydrophilic (co)polymers with various compositions were successfully prepared by RAFT solution (co)polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) for different AA to DMAEMA molar ratios. The obtained macromolecular RAFT agents (macroRAFTs), PAA or PDMAEMA homopolymers and P(AA-co-DMAEMA) copolymers, displayed interesting pH- and thermo-responsive properties. These hydrophilic macroRAFTs were then chain extended with styrene leading to the formation of well-defined amphiphilic block copolymers. An aqueous dispersion of iron oxide clusters was next prepared using a strategy based on emulsification/solvent evaporation in which the block copolymers were used as stabilizers. By varying the experimental conditions (sonication power, macroRAFT concentration and pH of the medium), the cluster size could be controlled from 45 up to 300 nm. These clusters were then used as seeds in styrene emulsion polymerization in the presence of a crosslinker. The iron oxide clusters were individually encapsulated into a polymer shell generating latex particles, stabilized by the hydrophilic segment of the block copolymers, and displaying interesting magnetic properties. At last, these magnetic beads were evaluated as carriers in the magnetic separation of bacteria. The magnetic latex particles decorated with P(AA-co-DMAEMA) copolymers were successfully employed for the capture and trigger release of bacteria, allowing their concentration in a biological sample

Full textAbstract:
Latensfasen är den första fasen i ett förlossningsarbete och är en normal process, trots detta är den komplex och svårdiagnostiserad. Det finns ingen direkt gräns mellan förvärkar och latensfasens början, däremot finns en tydligare beskrivning av när den aktiva fasen startar. Att latensfasen inte är väl definierad kan innebära problem för barnmorskor i deras möte med dessa kvinnor. En lång latensfas är relaterat till ett antal problem för den födande kvinnan, såsom trötthet, uppgivenhet, smärta, oro och olika förlossningskomplikationer. Även risken för interventioner ökar om kvinnan kommer in i ett tidigt skede till förlossningsavdelningen, och ännu inte är i aktivt fas. Syftet med studien är att belysa hur barnmorskan bedömer att kvinnan är i latensfas respektive aktiv fas. Metoden som använts är en enkätundersökning som har analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys med deduktiv ansats. 78 barnmorskor som arbetar inom förlossningsvård i Göteborg samt Borås deltog i studien. De svarade på två öppna frågor om vilka parametrar de väger in i sin bedömning för att definiera latensfas respektive aktiv fas. I resultatet framkom att barnmorskorna beskriver 67 olika kriterier med små variationer för latensfasen som klassificerades i fem huvudkategorier. De definierade aktiv fas med 48 olika kriterier som även delades in i fem huvudkategorier. Huvudkategorierna delades in i underkategorier enligt analysprocess för kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I sammanställningen av resultatet visades sig att flertalet barnmorskor uppgav att oregelbundna värkar och ringa påverkan på livmodertappen är huvud- kriterier för latensfasen. Regelbundenhet och progress var huvudkriterier för aktiv fas. Tydligare riktlinjer är nödvändigt för att på allra bästa sätt hjälpa dessa kvinnor.<br><p>Program: Fristående kurs</p><p>Uppsatsnivå: C</p>

Full textAbstract:
Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior in geological porous media has been a subject of great interest in many geoengineering disciplines. Many attempts have been made to develop numerical prediction capabilities associated with topics such as the movement of pollutant plumes, gas injection, energy storage, geothermal energy extraction, and safety assessment of repositories for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. This thesis presents a new numerical modeling approach and a new computer code for simulating coupled THM behavior in geological porous media in general, and compacted bentonite clays in particular, as buffer materials in underground radioactive waste repositories. New governing equations were derived according to the theory of mixtures, considering interactions among solid-phase deformation, flows of water and gases, heat transport, and phase change of water. For three-dimensional problems, eight governing equations were formulated to describe the coupled THM processes. A new thermal conductivity model was developed to predict the thermal conductivity of geological porous media as composite mixtures. The proposed model considers the combined effects of solid mineral composition, temperature, liquid saturation degree, porosity and pressure on the effective thermal conductivity of the porous media. The predicted results agree well with the experimental data for MX80 bentonite. A new water retention curve model was developed to predict the suction-saturation behavior of the geological porous media, as a function of suction, effective saturated degree, temperature, porosity, pore-gas pressure, and the rate of saturation degree change with time. The model was verified against experimental data of the FEBEX bentonite, with good agreement between measured and calculated results. A new finite element code (ROLG) was developed for modeling fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in geological porous media. The new code was validated against several analytical solutions and experiments, and was applied to simulate the large scale in-situ Canister Retrieval Test (CRT) at Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, SKB, Sweden, with good agreement between measured and predicted results. The results are useful for performance and safety assessments of radioactive waste repositories.<br>QC20100720<br>THERESA

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the significance of the concept of study success in higher education from the perspective of students at five university programs; Business Administration and Economics, Engineering Physics, Medical Education, Social Work and Teacher Education for Upper Secondary Level. The thesis is based on data from three studies conducted between, spring 1993 and autumn 1996. A questionnaire was distributed to all the students enrolled in autumn 1992 to the five programs, regarding students' paths to the university, how they perceived their university studies, and their plans for the future. Fifty-nine of the students were then selected from the five university programs and interviewed on two different occasions. The first interview, conducted mainly during the autumn term of 1993, focused on the respondent's path to the university studies and on different aspects of their lives as students. For a majority of the students, the second interview was conducted about one year later. This interview focused on how the students perceived study success: what was considered to be a good study result, and the characteristics of successful and unsuccessful students. The students were also asked to describe an occasion when they felt successful and unsuccessful, respectively. The results indicate that there is little congruence between the students' perception of study success and that expressed in many public reforms and policies in Sweden. Furthermore, there are both similarities and differences in students' views across the programs. The students at the five programs seemed to relate study success mainly to aspects of Achievement, Process/Strategy, and Comprehension, while aspects related to Personal Growth or Future/Occupation were rarely mentioned. When comparing students' views in the five university programs, the results indicate that an Achievement oriented view dominated among the students in Business Administration and Economics, and Engineering Physics. The students in Engineering Physics and Social Work were more oriented towards Process or Strategy aspects of study success than the students in the other programs. Personal Growth was emphasised as an important aspect only by the Social Work students. Furthermore, students in Social Work and Medical Education were more oriented towards Comprehension than the others. The students in Medical Education and Teacher Education related study success to Future/Occupation to a higher degree that the others. The views on study success seem mainly to be related to aspects in the learning environment, in particular the way the university studies are organised, the examination and grading system, and the contact with the profession. Different recruitment patterns, and the impact of upper secondary education may also be of importance. Influences from the students' prior experiences and their life outside their studies cannot be excluded. Furthermore, the results indicate gender differences. The women seem to view study success in terms of Comprehension, while the men are more oriented towards Achievement. An additional analysis within the categories indicated that the male students seemed to be more self-confident and self-reliant while the female students expressed a more pessimistic view. Furthermore, while the male students view an unsuccessful student only in relation to the individual in question, the female students' view involved the negative consequences of the student's behaviour for other people.<br>digitalisering@umu

Detta examensarbete undersöker vad TV4-Gruppen bör göra för att tillgodose ungdomars VoD-konsumtionsbeteende, ur ett framtidsperspektiv på fem år. För ta reda på detta utformas arbetet av (1) en konsument- och marknadsanalys, där den svenska TV-marknaden och dess branschtrender kartläggs samt ungdomarnas användarvanor identifieras. Insikter från denna konsument- och marknadsanalys lägger sedan grunden för den (2) konsekvensanalys som utförs för att se hur utvecklingen kommer att påverka marknaden, respektive TV4-Gruppen. Baserat på konsekvensanalysen utarbetas sedan (3) en serie rekommendationer för hur TV4-Gruppen bör positionera sitt samlade VoD-erbjudande för att vara det naturliga valet för framtidens VoD-konsumenter. Arbetet presenterar hur man som VoD-aktör måste förhålla sig till sin målgrupps konsumtionsbeteende relaterat till sociala parametrar, skärmenheter, tjänst, innehåll, geografisk positionering och tidspreferenser i en bransch som, i en prosumeristisk samtid, är på tittarnas villkor.Nyckelord: VoD, TV, beteende, ungdomar, TV4-Gruppen, prosumerism.<br>This thesis examines what TV4 Group should do in order to meet today's youth VoDconsumption behaviour, from a five-year perspective.

"Är "no news" verkligen "good news"? : En studie av hur tre svenska webbtidningar rapporterar om fem konflikter och hur teorierna CNN-effekten och Stealth Conflicts kan förklara detta." Thesis, Linköpings universitet, Statsvetenskap, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-103932.
Full textAbstract:
Is there any truth in the saying “no news is good news” or is there a reason to question whether media actually do reflect the world’s worst conflicts proportionally? The communication technologies have seen major developments in recent years, and more and more people choose to read their news on the Internet. With smartphones and other devices, one could imagine that there would be easier to cover more conflict areas than ever – but is this what has happened? In this study we aimed to investigate how three chosen Swedish newspapers reflected five of the on-going conflicts of 2012 and how this can be explained with the theories; the CNN effect and Stealth Conflicts. We started out with studies of the two theories. The definition of “conflict” used in this study is Uppsala Conflict Data Program’s “war and minor conflict”. Then a quantitative study followed, where we used the three newspapers’ websites to search for articles about our chosen conflict areas: Algeria, Israel, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Syria. The conclusion of this study is that there is, at least among our chosen newspapers, a disproportionate covering of the world’s conflicts, with the exception of Syria. This matches largely with how the two theories explain the media’s covering of conflicts, but we found a deeper explanation in the Stealth Conflict theory, though the CNN effect stood for interesting points as well. The theories could benefit from a merger since that would create a theory with a wider range of explanation tools of why the conflict news reports looks and works the way it does and of its consequences.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning: Bakgrund Parkinsons sjukdom (PS) kan behandlas med djup hjärnstimulering (DBS) i de subkortikala områdena kaudala zona incerta (cZi) och subthalamuskärnorna (STN). Behandlingen har visats ge goda effekter på de motoriska symtomen som förknippas med PS, dock kan DBS försämra patientens tal. Forskning har visat att DBS kan orsaka en dysartri som är annorlunda beskaffad än den som sjukdomen orsakar. Syfte Studiens syfte var att analysera artikulationshastighet, talmotoriska fel och förekomster av felkategorier hos PS-patienter som har genomgått DBS (STN och cZi) för att undersöka stimuleringens effekt på patientens talförmåga. Metod Studien omfattade 26 PS-patienter med DBS (cZi och STN) samt en matchad kontrollgrupp med 21 deltagare. Perceptuella bedömningar gjordes av inspelningar av SMR-sekvenser. Beräkningar gjordes av artikulationshastighet, antal talmotoriska fel samt förekomster av felkategorier. Statistiska analyser genomfördes på data om artikulationshastighet och antal talmotoriska fel från inspelningarna 12 månader post-DBS för att undersöka skillnader mellan grupperna samt inom PS-grupperna mellan avslagen stimulering (sOFF) och påslagen stimulering(sON). Resultat Inga signifikanta skillnader fanns gällande artikulationshastighet mellan sON och sOFF hos vardera PS-grupp (cZi och STN) eller mellan STN-grupp och kontrollgrupp. Det fanns ingen signifikant skillnad gällande talmotoriska fel mellan cZi-gruppen och kontrollgruppen eller mellan stimuleringarna (sON och sOFF) hos vardera PS-grupp. STN-gruppen presterade signifikant bättre än friska personer gällande talmotoriska fel. Skillnader fanns gällande förekomster av felkategorier mellan PS-grupperna och kontrollgrupperna samt mellan stimuleringarna (sON och sOFF) hos vardera PS-grupp. Slutsats Resultatet i vår studie visade att en PS-patient med DBS i cZi presterade lika bra som en frisk person i SMR gällande talmotoriska fel. Däremot presterade STN-gruppen bättre än friska personer. Skillnaden mellan resultaten beror inte på att kontrollpersonerna hade en högre artikulationshastighet. Resultatet visar att merparten av PS-deltagarna vid sON uppvisar tendenser av hypokinetiska drag.
