1. 21. How About Running on Mars ? Influence of Sensory Coherence on the Running Pattern and on Spatial Perception in Simulated Reduced Gravity

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Marie Keime; [2022]
   Keywords : Adaptation; Gravity; Locomotion; Sensory factors; Spatial perception; Unweighting.; Rörelse; Gravitation; Anpassning; Avvägning; Sensoriska faktorer; Rumslig uppfattning.;

   Abstract : Motor control, including locomotion, strongly depends on the gravitational field. Recent developments like lower-body positive pressure treadmills (LBPPTs) have enabled Earth- based studies on the effects of reduced body weight (BW) on walking and running. Yet, the observed adaptations to simulated hypogravity are not optimal. READ MORE

3. 22. Does turbidity affect critical thermal maximum (CTM) of mussels : Behavioural changes in Unio tumidus under stress

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Ellinor Karlsson; [2022]
   Keywords : CTM; critical thermal maximum; turbidity; suspended solids; Unio tumidus; freshwater mussel; bivalve; climate change; Unionida; CTM; turbiditet; grumlighet; suspenderade ämnen; Unio tumidus; sötvattensmussla; musslor; klimatförändringar; Unionida;

   Abstract : Freshwater mussels is one the most endangered groups of organisms worldwide and stand in front of several threats. Global warming along with anthropogenic influence affect the mussel’s natural habitat and stress leads to changes in their behaviour. READ MORE

4. 23. Advanced Footwear Technology, Are Ground Reaction Forces and Lower Extremity Loading Dependent on Shoe Energy Return Characteristics?

5. 24. Orthotic interventions for lower limb impaired patients with multiple sclerosis: an Umbrella Review

   University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

   Author : Johan Petersson; Swan Yen Eng; [2022]
   Keywords : Multiple sclerosis; Lower limb; Orthotics; Umbrella Review; Biomechanics; Multiple skleros; Lägre extremitet; Ortoser; Umbrella Review; Biomekanik;

   Abstract : Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory auto-immune disease with various symptoms, which requires comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment for distinct and individualized conditions. Reviews on this population address treatment alternatives (i.e., pharmaceutical and rehabilitation). READ MORE

6. 25. Uranium Mineralizations at Kiirunavaara,Northernmost Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Diego Segovia Menard; [2022]
   Keywords : kiirunavaara; uranium; EPMA; water; hydrothermal;

   Abstract : In recent years, a variably high amount of uranium (U) and radon (Rn) were found in the water and airof the Kiirunavaara mine in Kiruna, northern Sweden. The Swedish Agency for Marine and WaterManagement (Havs och vattenmyndigheten) has maximum limits for “special polluting substances” inwater that is released to natural recipients (HVMFS 2019:25), therefore, the mining company LKAB,owner and operator of the Kiirunavaara mine, decided to conduct a study to investigate the issueregarding these findings, triggering this master thesis.
