Prediction of falls and/or near falls by using tandem gait performance in people with mild Parkinson’s disease

Objective: To investigate whether tandem gait test (TG) can predict future falls and/or near falls in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: People with PD have balance problems and an increased risk for falls. Although TG has been considered a predictor of falls, no PD-study has controlled results for demographic and disease-specific characteristics or included near falls when investig

A Procedure For Allocating Zonal Attributes To A Link Network In A GIS Environment

This paper presents a procedure for assigning zone data to links in the context of a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. This may be used for several applications; the one motivating this paper is the need to approximate how much secondary traffic is accessing the main street network from adjacent zones. This will then be used in models to predict the number of accidents on the main r

On Computational Heat Transfer in Industrial Applications

Industrial energy systems involve many components where fluid flow, heat and mass transfer are the important transport processes. For design and development as well as investigation of innovative ideas, computational methods are of vital importance. Since the early pioneering works (by, e.g., the Spalding group) in the 1960s and 1970s, the development has been tremendous and nowadays CFD (computat

State led agricultural development and change in Yogyakarta 1973-1996

In the early 1990s, Indonesia was seen as one of the post war success stories. The country was boasting an impressive growth record and had seen the number of poor continuously decline. This picture of Indonesia stood in stark contrast to the situation only 30 years earlier when the economy was in a shambles and starvation was a real threat. At the core of this change in Indonesia lies the transfo

SI vid Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH) . en utvärdering av SI-verksamheten vid fem civilingenjörsprogram vid LTH hösten 2008

Studien presenterar en utvärdering av SI-verksamheten vid fem civilingenjörsprogram vid LTH baserat på data från enkäter till SI-deltagare och SI-ledare, genomströmningsdata för nybörjarstudenter på kurs- samt läsårsnivå, samt nybörjarstudenternas betyg från gymnasiet. Resultaten visar på att deltagande på SI-övningar ger en ökad genomströmning på både kurs- och läsårsnivå. Vidare finns tydliga in

Extrema världar : om sökandet efter liv i rymden

Astrobiologi kallar vi det vetenskapliga sökandet efter liv i rymden som görs av den jordbundna varelsen Homo sapiens sapiens och som utförs på en vanlig planet kring en vanlig sol bland miljarder andra stjärnor och galaxer. Under hennes i universellt perspektiv korta historia på jorden har hon ofta, när hon blickat upp på den stjärnbeströdda natthimlen, undrat över de grundläggande existentiella
