  1. 1. Dialogues with the unwell body : Rethinking the notion of wellbeing in HCI from feminist and somaesthetic perspectives

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Eirini Kaklopoulou; [2022]
    Keywords : wellbeing; biodata; first-person perspective methods; soma design; digital wellbeing; välbefinnande; biodata; first-person perspective metoder; soma design; digitalt välbefinnande;

    Abstract : With the emergence of ubiquitous computing and biosensing technologies, there is a growing interest to explore wellbeing within design research. This paper unpacks the notion of wellbeing from somaesthetic and feminist perspectives. READ MORE

  3. 2. Surface Functionalization of Nanowires Using Silane-PEG Compounds

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Hedvig Ekfors Elvin; [2022]
    Keywords : Functionalization; Nanowires; Silanization; Surface Chemistry; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Introduction: GaP nanowires were functionalized using silane-PEG-NH2 and compared with cellulose acetate, PAcrAm™-g-(PMOXA, amine, silane) and a non-functionalized reference sample. Functionalization would allow strong, covalent anchoring of antibodies instead of adsorption. READ MORE

  4. 3. Point-of-care beta-hydroxybutyrate determination for the management of diabetic ketoacidosis based on flexible laser-induced graphene electrode system

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Sensor- och aktuatorsystem

    Author : Simon Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Biosensor; Hydroxybutyrate; Point-of-care; Electrochemical; Enzyme; HB; HBD; Dehydrogenase; Ketosis; Ketones; Diabetes; Immobilisation; Chitosan; Gluteraldehyde; PVB; NADH; NAD ; eHealth; Toluidine blue; Cyclic Voltammetry; Amperometry; Potentiometry; Electro Chemistry; BSA;

    Abstract : Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition that can appear in patients with diabetes. High ketones in the blood lead to acidity of the blood. For DKA diagnosis and management, ketones such as hydroxybutyrate (HB) can be used to quantify the severity of the disease. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Breathing Garment : Exploring Breathing-Based Interactions through Deep Touch Pressure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Annkatrin Jung; [2020]
    Keywords : Deep Touch Pressure; Soma Design; Breathing Awareness; Wearables; Haptics; Mental Wellbeing; Shape-Changing Interfaces; Djuptrycksterapi; Soma design; Andetag medvetenhet; Kroppsnära teknik; Haptisk feedback; Psykisk välbefinnande; Formändrandebof gränssnitt;

    Abstract : Deep touch pressure is used to treat sensory processing difficulties by applying a firm touch to the body to stimulate the nervous system and soothe anxiety. I conducted a long-term exploration of deep touch pressure from a first-person perspective, using shape-changing pneumatic actuators, breathing and ECG sensors to investigate whether deep touch pressure can guide users to engage in semi-autonomous interactions with their breathing and encourage greater introspection and body awareness.

  6. 5. Fabrication and Optimization of a Nanoplasmonic Chip for Diagnostics

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jonas Segervald; [2019]
    Keywords : AFM; NIL; SPR; SERS; nanohole; nanohole array; nanoimprint lithography; physical vapor deposition; plasma treatment; plasmonic; plasmons; surface plasmon resonance; localized surface plasmon resonance; metal enhanced fluoresence; surface enhanced raman spectroscopy; transmittance; nanoplasmonic; signal enhancement;

    Abstract : To increase the survival rate from infectious- and noncommunicable diseases, reliable diagnostic during the preliminary stages of a disease onset is of vital importance. This is not trivial to achieve, a highly sensitive and selective detection system is needed for measuring the low concentrations of biomarkers available. READ MORE
