Abstract:

Grönområden innehar oumbärliga värden för en hållbar framtid men måste i en växande stad konkurrera om marken med flera andra viktiga funktioner. För grönområden och dess värden utgörs det största motsättande intresset av ny bebyggelse och den fragmentering av grönstrukturen som det medför. Dessutom hindrar ofta de administrativa gränserna funktionell förvaltning av naturresurser och dess ekosystem. En förståelse för komplexiteten av olika skalor och aktörer i förvaltningen av grönområden är därför av betydelse. Uppsatsen undersöker hur regional grönstruktur som spänner över flera administrativa gränser förvaltas i kommunal planering. Genom fallstudien Rösjökilen i norra Stockholm presenteras skillnader och likheter i de sex berörda kommunernas styr- och policydokument inom ämnet. Planeringsförutsättningar, svårigheter och förbättringsmöjligheter undersöks genom intervjuer med tjänstepersoner från kommunerna och regionala aktörer samt exemplifieras med två utvalda stadsutvecklingsprojekt i anslutning till kilen. Dessutom undersöks påverkan av en utpekad regional grön kil och en tillhörande kilsamverkan. Uppsatsen visar på att arbetssättet och det framtagna kunskapsunderlaget skiljer sig i de studerade kommunerna. Vidare indikerar studien att utpekandet av kilen har haft stor påverkan på den övergripande kommunala planeringen. Den aktiva kilsamverkan ses som ett bra exempel på att arbeta med en gemensam naturresurs på landskapsnivå, men det finns utvecklingspotential i vilka frågor som tas upp. Studien uppmärksammar ett behov hos tjänstepersonerna att, antingen inom kilsamverkan eller genom nya nätverk, samverka kring hur grönstruktur ska inkorporeras på bästa sätt med andra typer av samhällsplanering, specifikt kring det konkurrerande markintresset.
Green space comprise indispensable values for a sustainable future but has to compete for the same physical space as multiple other important functions in the growing city. As for green areas and their inherent values the most pressing contradicting interest is new development and the fragmentation of green structure it entails. Additionally, the administrative borders often hinders functional management of natural resources and their ecosystem services. It is therefore of importance to create an understanding of the complexity of the different scales and actors involved in the management. The thesis investigates how regional green structure that spans several administrative borders is managed in local municipal planning. The case study of Rösjökilen in Stockholm highlights similarities and differences between its six concerned municipalities in terms of their policy documents. Municipal civil servants as well as regional actors are interviewed to study preconditions for planning, difficulties and possible improvements. The effect of having a defined regional green wedge and a formal collaboration tied to it is also investigated. The thesis shows that the way in which the selected municipalities work with green structure as well as amount of produced reports differs. Furthermore, the thesis indicates that the defined regional green wedge has had a large impact on the municipal planning. The active formal collaboration within the green wedge is seen as a good example of working with a collective natural resource on a landscape scale, but that there is a potential to elaborate on what type of issues to include. In the thesis it is highlighted a need among the civil servants to, either within the existing collaboration in the green wedge or through new networks, collaborate on how green space is best incorporated with other matters of urban planning, especially in terms of the competing new development.

Abstract:

This study examines the functions of objects in a selection of British colonial travel accounts about Africa. The works discussed were published between 1863 and 1908 and include travelogues by John Hanning Speke, Verney Lovett Cameron, Henry Morton Stanley, Mary Henrietta Kingsley, Ewart Scott Grogan, Mary Hall and Constance Larymore. The author argues that objects are deeply involved in the construction of pre-modern and modern spheres that the travelling subject moves between. The objects in the travel accounts are studied in relation to a contextual background of Victorian commodity and object culture, epitomised by the 1851 Great Exhibition and the birth of the modern anthropological museum. The four analysis chapters investigate the roles of objects in ethnographical and geographical writing, in ideological discussions about the transformative powers of colonial trade, and in narratives about the arrival of the book in the colonial periphery. As the analysis shows, however, objects tend not to behave as they are expected to do. Instead of marking temporal differences, descriptions of objects are typically unstable and riddled with contradictions and foreground the ambivalence that characterises colonial literature.

Abstract:

En grön omställning i svenska hushåll har en avgörande roll för att kunna minska dagens miljöproblem. Miljöproblem har idag individualiserats och ansvaret för att leva ett miljövänligt liv ligger således på individnivå. När miljöproblem individualiseras med ett ökat ansvar hos individen som resultat krävs förutsättningar att kunna leva ett miljövänligare liv, förutsättningar vilka kan variera som resultat av var individen väljer att bo. Det blir komplicerat om en grön omställning inte är anpassad för hela nationen utan enbart en del av den. Studien är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med inriktning kring hur invånare på landsbygden ser på en grön omställning med utgångspunkt i de vanliga omställningsområdena transport, avfall, konsumtion och energi. Materialet från intervjuerna har analyserats med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur invånare på landsbygden ser på en grön omställning samt vilka hinder och möjligheter som presenteras. Studiens resultat visar att det inom en del omställningsområden finns goda möjligheter för hushåll på landsbygden att verkställa en grön omställning medan andra omställningar framställs som mer komplicerade. Möjligheten till att verkställa en grön omställning i praktiken framställs olika baserat på omställningsområde och var individen väljer att bo. Studien visar således att förutsättningarna till att verkställa en grön omställning uppfattas olika grundat på om individen bor på landsbygd eller i stad.
A green transition in Swedish households has a crucial role in reducing the current environmental problems. Environmental problems have been individualized and the responsibility for living a more environmental friendly life is thus at the individual level. When environmental problems are individualized with an increased responsibility of the individual as a result, the conditions are required to be able to live a more environmentally friendly life, conditions that vary as a result if where the individual chooses to live. It becomes complicated if a green transition is not adapted för the whole nation but only part of it. The study is a qualitative interview study focusing on how citizens in rural areas opinion on a green transition based on the usual areas of transition, transport, waste, consumption and energy. The material from the interviews has been analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. The purpose of the study has been to examine how the citizens look at a green transition and what obstacles and opportunities are presented. The results of the study shows that there are good opportunities for households in rural areas to implement green transition in certain sectors while other changes are presented as more complicated. The possibility of implementing a green transition in practice is presented differently based on were the individual chooses to live. The study thus shows that the green transition are perceived differently based on whether the individuals lives in rural or urban areas.

Abstract:

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur 14 kommuner i Stockholms län integrerar grön infrastruktur i den kommunala planeringen. Utöver det vill arbetet även utreda hur kommunernas arbete med grön infrastruktur relaterar till Länsstyrelsen Stockholms handlingsplan för grön infrastruktur och till den regionala utvecklingsplanen för Stockholmsregionen - RUFS2050. Rapporten avser att besvara följande frågor: Hur arbetar kommuner i Stockholmsregionen med grön infrastruktur? Hur relaterar kommunernas arbete med grön infrastruktur till RUFS2050 och till Länsstyrelsens handlingsplan för grön infrastruktur? Vilka insatsområden för grön infrastruktur prioriteras över lag i den kommunala planeringen? Hur arbetar kommunerna med mångfunktionella områden och konnektivitet? För att besvara dessa frågor har en litteraturstudie av kommunernas styrdokument med koppling till grön infrastruktur gjort. Inventeringar av respektive kommuns hemsida har gjorts för att hitta dessa styrdokument. För varje kommun presenteras vilka planer som kan kopplas till deras gröna infrastruktur, hur de vill arbeta med sina grön- och blåstrukturer, samt hur kommunen arbetar med uppföljning av sitt arbete och mellankommunal samverkan. Arbetet påvisar att de flesta kommuner saknar en konkret handlingsplan för grön infrastruktur, och ingen standardiserad process för att arbeta med ämnet finns etablerad. RUFS är ett mycket viktigt underlag, men Länsstyrelsen Stockholms handlingsplan för grön infrastruktur finns inte implementerad i dagsläget, antagligen på grund av att den är relativt ny tidsmässigt. Störst fokus läggs på kulturella och försörjande ekosystemtjänster, följt av stödjande tjänster. Alla kommuner vill jobba med mångfunktionella områden, men enbart ett fåtal fokuserar på de barriärer som påverkar konnektiviteten, samt arbetar för att motverka dem. Sammantaget kan man se att ett behov finns för en mer standardiserad process berörande integreringen av grön infrastruktur i den kommunala planeringen.
The purpose of this report is to explore how 14 municipalities in the county of Stockholm incorporate green infrastructure into their municipal planning. Furthermore, the work also investigates how the municipalities work with green infrastructure in relation to the County Administrative Board of Stockholm's action plan for green infrastructure, and the regional development plan for the Stockholm Region. The following questions are answered: How does the municipalities within the Stockholm region work with green infrastructure? How does the municipalities implementation of green infrastructure relate to the action plan for green infrastructure, and the regional development plan for the Stockholm Region? What areas within green infrastructure are mostly prioritised in municipal planning? How does the municipalities work with multifunctional areas and connectivity? To answer these questions a literature study of municipal documents related to green infrastructure has been made. These documents were found by thoroughly searching through each municipality's website. For each municipality there is a summary describing what documents were found, how the municipality integrates green and blue structures into their planning, and also how they follow-up their work and co-operate with neighbouring municipalities. The study shows that most municipalities lack an actual action plan for green infrastructure, and there is no established process for the municipalities to follow when working with green infrastructure. The regional development plan for the Stockholm region is a great asset for the municipalities, as all of them base their municipal planning on it. However, the County Administrative Board of Stockholm's action plan for green infrastructure has not been implemented into the municipal planning as of today, probably because of it being relatively new. The main areas within green infrastructure that are being prioritised are cultural and provisioning ecosystem services, followed by supporting services. All municipalities want to work with multifunctional areas, but only a few of them prioritise barriers that affects the connectivity within their green infrastructures. Overall, there is a clear need for a more standardised process for the integration of green infrastructure into municipal planning.

Abstract:

Konstmuseet Gropen är Uppsalas nya konstmusseum för samtida och historisk konst. Den är belägen vid fyrisån strax söder om stadskärnan, nedsänkt helt under mark. Att gå ner i gropen är att lämna staden. Att gå ner i gropen är att gå upp i konsten. Jag började projektet med att fundera över vilka konstmuseeum jag varit på, vilka jag gillat, och vad jag gillat med dem. Guggenheim, Neue Nationalgalerie, Tate Modern mf. Det fanns såklart flera och skillda saker jag gillat med dem men en återkommande faktor var processionen och möjligheten att orientera sig i dem. New Museeum, Moma och farmför allt Guggenheim har kvaliten att man kan orientera sig genom processionen genom våningsplanen. Den erfarne museiebesökaren vet att man tar hissen upp för att gå ner till bottenplan. Men det är inte alltid självklart. Jag tänkte att när platsen till storlek pekade mot att göra flera våningsplan, så kunde byggnaden ha en naturlig procession uppifrån och ner. Jag besökte ett flertal konstmuseeum runt stockholm och uppsala och märkte hur i princip inget använde sig av naturlig ljus. En annan poäng med en nedgrävd byggnad var att kunna nedprioritera dess yttre form och fokusera på utställningsrummens inre, med biytorna på et Khanskt vis får hamna i mellanrummen eller där de gör sig bäst för att serva huvudfunktionen, konsthallarna. Med friheten att kunna utforma rummen innifrån kom frågan vad som egentligen är bra utställnigsrum. Jag beslutade mig för 4 olika hallar med olika funktion, temporäritet och flexibilitet. Ordningen man kommer till dem i en vandring genom byggnaden och och anledningen att återbesöka fick bestämma placeringen hierarkiskt ovanifrån. Vilka är styrkor finns högst upp och vilka finns längst ner?
The Hole is a new art museum in Uppsala for contemporary and historical art. It is located at Fyrisån just south of the city center, located completely below ground. Going down the hole is to leave the city. Going down the hole is to go up in art. I began the project by thinking about the art museums that I have been to, which I liked, and what I liked with them. Guggenheim, Neue Nationalgalerie, Tate Modern and so on. There were of course many and different places or things I liked with them, but a recurring factor was the procession and the ability to orient oneself in them. New Museeum, Moma and ofcourse Guggenheim all have the quality that you can orient yourselfe by the procession through the floors. The experienced museum visitors know that you take the elevator up, to then go down to the ground floor. But it is not always obvious. I figured that when the size of the place pointed toward making several floors, the building could have a natural procession from the top down. I visited several Museum of Art around Stockholm and Uppsala and noticed how basically none made use of natural light. Another point with a buried building was to give lower priority to its external form and focus on the exhibition rooms interior, with the servant spaces on an Khan-esk way, falling into gaps or where they'll do best to serve the main function, the exhibition halls. With the freedom to design the rooms from the inside came the question about what really is a good exhibitionhall. I decided to use 4 different halls with different function, temporarity and flexibility. The order you come to them when walking through the building and and the reason to re-visit had to determine the location, the hierarchy from above. What are the strengths at the top and what strenghs lies att the bottom?

Abstract:

Differences in family structure have been linked to several mental health outcomes, where children living in a nuclear family setting are best-off, while children in joint physical custody are second best followed by those living mostly and only with one parent. One of the biggest changes in recent years is that joint physical custody is growing more common. The dependent variables in this thesis were three dimensions of mental health from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Data from 6th and 9th graders in the entire Sweden 2009 was used. Regression modelling showed differences in mental health between the family structures throughout, although children in joint physical custody was not significantly different from those in nuclear families (reference category) in half of the models. Children living mostly with one parent reported the third worst levels of problematic behaviour and prevalence of low prosocial behaviour while those living with just one parent were worst off. Stratifying by gender did reveal small coefficient differences and so did controls for birth region. This thesis, although in a line of other publications based on this study can help shape future guidelines for e.g. social workers.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Ljumskskador, ljumsk- och höftsmärta hos fotbollsspelare har oftast samband med minskat rörelseomfång i höfter, svaghet i bål och höftmuskulatur. Risk för ljumsksmärta ökar hos idrottare som inte tränar skadepreventivt. Syfte: Att undersöka om ett preventionsprogram med sex övningar för styrka och rörlighet kan minska förekomsten av ljumsksmärta hos herrfotbollsspelare. Material och metod: En kvantitativ experimentell fallstudie med kontrollgrupp, som utfördes med 14 herrfotbollslag (7 lag interventionsgrupp, 7 lag kontrollgrupp). I studien deltog 514 manliga fotbollspelare i åldern mellan 15-47 år. Resultat: I interventionsgruppen som genomförde ett preventionsprogram var antalet spelare med ljumsksmärta oförändrat, medan antalet deltagare med ljumsksmärta i kontrollgruppen ökade. Konklusion: Ett preventionsprogram med övningar för styrka och rörlighet kan förebygga förekomst av ljumsksmärta hos herrfotbollsspelare. Nyckelord: Fotboll, prevention, ljumskskada, ljumsksmärta, höftsmärta
Background:Groin injuries, groin pain and hip pain for soccer players are often associated with decreased range of motion (ROM) in the hip, weakness in abdominal muscles and poor hip muscles. The risk of groinpain increases for athletes who do not practice any preventing exercises. Objective:To research if an injury prevention program with six exercises for strength and mobility has any effect on groin pain and hip pain for male soccer players. Measures and Methods: Quantitative experimental study with control group. 14 male soccer teams participated (7 teams in intervention group, 7 teams in control group). In the study 514 male soccer players participated, in the age of 15-47 years. Result: In the intervention group who practiced the prevention program did not the number of players with groinpain increased, compared with the control group where the numbers of players with grioinpain increased. Conclusion: An injury prevention program for male soccer players with exercises for strength and mobility could prevent increase of groinpain among male soccer players. Keywords: Soccer, prevention, groin injury, groin pain, hip pain

Mohamed, Iqbal Amir Asyraf. "CHARACTERIZATION AND TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE PADS WITH DIFFERENT RAW MATERIALS." OpenSIUC, 2017. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2127.

Full text

Abstract:

Over the years, numerous studies have been conducted for the development of alternative materials for better performance of brake pads. With a huge selection of materials, automobile manufacturers must prioritize the performance standards, safety, cost and environmental factors of the brake pads. To improve the friction performance of brake pads, maintain customers comfort level and environment safety, design engineers test and verify the best materials to satisfy the federal performance standards. Raw materials of brake pads compose of different categories such as organic, semi metallic and low-metallic. Besides the difference in composition, these materials affect the brake pads in terms of friction properties, wear rates and noise levels. It is crucial for engineers and manufacturers to improve friction stability while minimizing vibration by manipulating the composition of different raw materials and additive materials. Automotive brake pads normally consist of numerous metallic and composite materials that are formed by hot compression which can result in various mechanical properties [14]. This research proposes to investigate different composition of metallic raw materials and how their frictional performance is affected under different environmental testing standards. This research investigates the frictional performance of six types of raw materials with different mechanical properties and morphology using a universal mechanical tester (Bruker UMT). This paper examines the overall friction performance, coefficient of friction and creep groan behavior of six different raw materials under different humidity levels. By scrutinizing the static and kinetic coefficient of friction(COF) at different humidity levels, humidity-induced friction instability at low speed is studied and presented in this paper. After performing friction tests for each material, it was concluded that the friction performance and kinetic coefficient of friction of the brake pad samples were drastically affected by longer exposure to humid air.

Abstract:

Uppsatsens syfte är att granska sexton recensioner publicerade i svensk respektive amerikansk press gällande filmen Den Gröna Cykeln (Haifaa Al-Mansour, 2012). Undersökningen grundar i kritikernas syn på genus och jämställdhet samt kulturell och nationell identitet som filmen berör. Recensionerna analyseras och jämförs för att hitta skillnader och likheter i den svenska respektive amerikanska receptionen. Analysen visar att skillnaden mellan de två nationernas reception är uppdelade mellan de två fokusområdena, där de amerikanska kritikerna fokuserar på kulturell och nationell identitet och jämför filmens skildring av det saudiarabiska samhället med den amerikanska kulturen. De svenska kritikerna tycks generellt ha större fokus på filmens skildring av genus och jämställdhet till skillnad från amerikanerna.

Full text

Abstract:

Tensta centrum markeras av tre tydliga indelningar - stråket som löper mellan butiker, station och gångbro, den soldränkta gropen söder om stationshuset och p-huset, den ogenomträngliga klossen. Jag har för avsikt att förstärka platsens funktion som torg (gropen), att tydliggöra den nya byggnadens publika funktioner (att locka in omgivningen med andra funktioner än bara rent kommuntekniska) och att knyta samma de tre fragmenterade rummen i Tensta centrum (genom att skapa en tydligare koppling mellan stråk, kloss och grop). När vi kom till platsen och satte oss ned för att vänta i solen söder om stationshuset slogs vi plötsligt av fågelkvittret. Alla springor och hålrum i fasaderna kring gropen var fyllda med småfåglar, ivriga och berusade av våren. I Bergianska trädgårdens växthus rör sig insekter och småfåglar fritt året runt - de hittar in genom springor och kryphål och blir en naturlig del av byggnaden. Jag vill uppmuntra djur/växtlivet nära inpå skinnet av kontorslandskapet. Flera empiriska studier visar att även korta vistelser i naturmiljöer minskar stress hos unga, främjar barns inlärningsförmåga och förkortar återhämtningstiden efter operationer och sjukdomar bland äldre. Detta är miljöer som inte är tillgängliga för de som inte bor i naturnära områden och inte har tid att resa långt, inte har åkkort eller bil eller har någon typ av rörelsenedsättning - jag vill smuggla in uterummen i en urban miljö. En massiv klump i mörkt trä landar i korsningen taxingegränd / tenstastråket. Det nya stadsdelshuset ersätter det gamla parkeringshusets funktion som kloss, men istället för att separera stråk från grop så uppmuntrar den nya byggnaden till rörelse sinsemellan dessa. I en byggnad med ett så pass brett program och med många offentliga funktioner så finner jag något värdefullt i att skapa ytor som i sig inte är kopplade till kommunens verksamhet - rum som bjuder in till utforskning och rörelse utifrån och in i en miljö som av många uppfattas som otillgänglig eller stängd. Det ger samtidigt de med ärenden på kommunens olika avdelningar möjligheten att låta väntetiden utanför kontoren bli en vilsam stund under ett fruktträd, vid en salamanderdamm eller i en blomsteräng (som såklart även är öppna för de som inte har ärenden på kommunen).
The site in Tensta is defined by three major divisions - the strip (running in between small shops, a central subway station and a small causeway, ebbing out into suburban periphery), the pit (a sunny plaza south of the subway station) and the slab (a towering, concrete and seemingly inaccessible multi-story car park). The aim of this proposal is to amplify several social and spatial qualities already present within the site itself, to emphasize the inherent public functions of the new city hall and using the aforementioned building as a tool for tying together three disjointed urban spaces.

Full text

Abstract:

Background Surgery has traditionally been considered more expensive than many other health care interventions and with little impact on the burden of disease in a global perspective. One of the reasons behind this misconception is that the effects of surgical conditions and their treatment have not been factored into the equation. Cost-effectiveness analyses of surgical interventions have largely been missing. An estimated 20 million herniorrhaphies are carried out annually but over 200 million people suffer from groin hernias. Herniorrhaphy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures also in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). However, the surgical repair method is not the same due to financial constraints. In high income countries a synthetic mesh is used and has reduced the risk of recurrence. This 125 USD mesh is too costly for the majority in LMIC. Mosquito mesh, which is cheaper but very similar to commercial meshes, is used in several settings but outcomes need to be investigated more extensively before this practice can be recommended in routine surgical service. The Aims of this thesis were to define the prevalence of groin hernia, to relate it to the surgical capacity, outcomes and costs of surgery in eastern Uganda and to investigate the feasibility and difference in cost and cost-effectiveness of replacing a commercial mesh with a mosquito mesh in groin hernia surgery. Methods Three studies (1-3) were carried out in eastern Uganda. 1: A cross sectional study investigating the prevalence of groin hernia in adult males in the Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (HDSS) in Iganga and Mayuge districts. 2: A facility based study with prospective data collection of all surgeries undertaken in the two hospitals providing surgery for the HDSS population. 3: A double blinded, randomised controlled trial comparing the outcomes of using a mosquito mesh relative using a commercial mesh in groin hernia surgery. Results 1: the prevalence of untreated groin hernia among the study participants was 6.6%. 2: the rate of groin hernia surgery was 17 per 100 000 population. Thus, less than 1% of the estimated number of cases of groin hernia in the catchment area of the two hospitals are operated per year. A herniorrhaphy costs around 60 USD to perform. This corresponds to a third of the cost of TB treatment and a 15th of the cost of HIV/AIDS treatment per year in Uganda. 3: No significant differences in terms of recurrence rates, post operative and chronic complications and patient satisfaction were demonstrated between the patients operated using the mosquito mesh and the commercial mesh. Cost-effectiveness was very high for both materials but total cost in the mosquito mesh group was 124 USD lower per surgery than in the commercial mesh group. Conclusion There is a vast unmet need for groin hernia surgery. Cost of surgery compares favourably with other health care interventions prioritised by the international organisations and funders. A superior technique can be used in groin hernia surgery at low cost, with high cost-effectiveness in a Low Income Country.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico
Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver/adaptar e validar metodologias analÃticas para identificaÃÃo e quantificaÃÃo dos congÃneres mais relevantes para a qualidade das aguardentes de cana de aÃÃcar artesanais e industriais produzidas em algumas Ilhas de Cabo Verde (C-V) e no Brasil (BRA), em especial no estado do CearÃ visando uma comparaÃÃo desses produtos. ApÃs o estudo das melhores condiÃÃes cromatogrÃficas foi possÃvel uma anÃlise simultÃnea de seis compostos orgÃnicos volÃteis: acetaldeÃdo, acetato de etila, e os Ãlcoois, n-propÃlico, isobutÃlico, n-butÃlico e isoamÃlico. TambÃm foram estudados os compostos inorgÃnicos, cÃtions (Na+, K+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+,Mn2+,Pb2+, Zn2+,Cd2+, Se2+ e Fe3+) e Ãnions (Cl-, CH3COO-, SO42- , CO3= e HCO3- ). Os Ãnions foram determinados por cromatografia de Ãons (CI) e cÃtions por espectrometria de emissÃo Ãtica com Plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP- OES). A validaÃÃo dos mÃtodos foi estudada em funÃÃo dos parÃmetros, precisÃo intermediÃria (repetibilidade), recuperaÃÃo, linearidade da curva analÃtica, limite de deteÃÃo e de quantificaÃÃo. A precisÃo e a recuperaÃÃo obtidas para os Ãlcoois, aldeÃdo e Ãster presentes nas aguardentes apresentaram uma variaÃÃo na faixa de 0,2 % - 7,0 %, 0,9% -3,2%, 0,3%-0,7%; e 97,0% -103,0%, 99,3 - 104,0%, 98,2% - 102,7% respectivamente.Os limites de detecÃÃo do equipamento obtidos em mg/100 mL de Ãlcool Anidro (A.A), foram 4,2, para acetaldeÃdo; 2,8 para o acetato de etila; 9,2 para o Ãlcool n-propÃlico ; 7,8 para o Ãlcool isobutÃlico; 3,1 para o Ãlcool n-butÃlico e 44,6 para o Ãlcool isoamÃlico. Os resultados quantitativos dos compostos orgÃnicos mostraram, que de acordo com limites mÃximos permitidos pela legislaÃÃo brasileira, dos compostos volÃteis estudados, apenas cinco das aguardentes de Cabo Verde (quatro artesanais, uma industrial) e trÃs artesanais das aguardentes do Brasil ultrapassaram o limite permitido pela legislaÃÃo em teores de acetaldeÃdo;relativamente a n-butanol, 60% e 50% das aguardentes industrial e artesanal de Cabo-Verde e Brasil respectivamente apresentam teores superiores ao limite mÃximo estipulado (3,0 mg/100 mL A.A). Das dez aguardentes brasileiras, que ultrapassaram o limite, trÃs sÃo industriaise sete artesanais enquanto que das doze aguardentes de Cabo-Verde que ultrapassaram em teores esse limite, seis sÃo artesanais e seis industriais. Dentre Ãlcoois superiores, duas industriais e uma artesanal de Cabo-Verde e duasartesanais do Brasil ultrapassaram o limite mÃximo referido. Os resultados mÃdios, em mg/100 mL A.A, para os compostos orgÃnicos presentes nas aguardentes de Cabo Verde e do Brasil, indicam que oacetaldeÃdo e Ãlcoois superiores se encontram dentro dos padrÃes de qualidade exigidos pela legislaÃÃo brasileira (30 mg/100 mL A.A para aldeÃdos; 360 mg/100 mL A.A para Ãlcoois superiores) e tem a mesma magnitude para as aguardentes de ambos paÃses 17,2 (BRA) -17,6 (CV) mg/100 mL A.A em acetaldeÃdo, e 247,4 (BRA) -240,6 (CV) mg/100 mL A.A em Ãlcoois superiores. Em contraste o acetato de etila se encontra em menor concentraÃÃo nas aguardentes do Brasil estudadas (24,8 mg/100 mL A.A) em relaÃÃo aos aguardentes de Cabo Verde (70,0mg/100 mL A.A). A comparaÃÃo dos resultados obtidos, em mg/100 mL A.A, para os cÃtions e Ãnions estudados mostrou a seguinte relaÃÃo: Ni2+ 0,7(BRA) - 0,6(C-V); Se2+ 1,6(BRA) - 0,62(C-V); Cd2+0,03 (BRA) - 0,04(C-V); Cu2+.5,6(BRA)-9,2(C-V); CH3COO- 055 (BRA) -1,3(C-V); SO42- 0,07(BRA) - 4,9(C-V); HCO3-0,04 (BRA) - 9,2(C-V); e Cl- 0,56 (BRA) - 2,0(CV). Os valores mÃdios das concentraÃÃes dos compostos inorgÃnicos nas aguardentes estudadas do Brasil e de Cabo Verde diferem entre si, mas sÃo concordantes com os dados da literatura exceto para o cobre, que ultrapassa o limite permitido em ambos os paÃses. Na anÃlise para reconhecimento de padrÃes utilizou-se a ferramenta quimiomÃtrica âAnÃlise de Componentes Principaisâ, PCA, que mostrou uma evidente separaÃÃo das amostras das aguardentes artesanais e industriais dos dois paÃses estudadas.
The aim of this work was to develop/adapt and validate analytical methods to both identify and quantify constituents of greater concern regarding the quality of homemade and industrial sugar cane spirits produced in some islands from Cape-Vert (CV) and in some states â especially CearÃ and PiauÃ â from Brazil (BRA), so that different products can be compared to one another. After optimization of chromatographic conditions, simultaneous analysis was feasible for six volatile compounds, namely: acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate, as well as n-propyl, isobutyl, nbutyl, and isoamyl alcohols. The inorganic composition of the samples was also investigated. Anions (Cl-, CH3COO-, SO4 2- , CO3 = e HCO3 -) were analysed by Ion Chromatography, while cations (Na+, K+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+,Mn2+,Pb2+, Zn2+,Cd2+, Se2+ e Fe3+) were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry. The methodologies were validated considering the parameters repeatability, recovery, linearity of analytical curve, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation. For alcohols, aldehyde, and ester analysed, precision was respectively in the ranges 0,2 % - 7,0 %, 0,9% -3,2%, 0,3%-0,7%, while recovery varied in the ranges 97,0% - 103,0%, 99,3 - 104,0%, 98,2% - 102,7%, respectively. The limits of detection (mg/100 mL A.A) were 4.2 for acetaldehyde, 2.8 for ethyl acetate, 9.2 for npropyl alcohol, 7.8 for isobutyl alcohol, 3.1 for n-butyl alcohol, and 44.6 for isoamyl alcohol. The results showed that in only five samples from Cape-Vert (four homemade; one industrial) and in three home-made samples from Brazil, the levels of acetaldehyde were found to be higher than the upper limits allowed by Brazilian legislation; the concentrations of n-butyl alcohol were higher than the allowed limits in two samples from Cape-Vert (one home-made; one industrial) and three home-made samples from Brazil. The levels of higher alcohols were higher than the limit concentrations in three samples from Cape-Vert (one home-made; two industrial) and in two home-made samples from Brazil. However, average concentrations (mg/100 mL A.A) of both acetaldehyde (17,2 BRA; 17,6 C-V) and higher alcohols (247,4 BRA; 240,6 C-V) are in accordance with the requirements of Brazilian legislation (30 mg/100 mL A.A for aldehydes; 360 mg/100 mL A.A for higher alcohols). Ethyl acetate concentration (mg/100 mL A.A) was found to be lower in samples from Brazil (24.8 BRA; 70.0 C-V). The concentrations (mg/100 mL AA) of both cations and anions were found to be: Ni2+ 0,7 (BRA) - 0,6(C-V); Se 1,6(BRA)- 0,62(C-V); Cd2+0,03 (BRA)- 0,04(C-V); Cu2+.5,6 (BRA) - 9,2 (C-V); CH3COO- 055 (BRA) - 1,3 (C-V); SO4 2- 0,07 (BRA) - 4,9 (C-V); HCO3 - 0,04 (BRA) - 9,2(C-V); e Cl- 0,56 (BRA) - 2,0(CV). Average concentrations of inorganic compounds in the samples from Brazil and from Cape-Vert differ from each other, but are in accordance with the literature, except for copper, which is in higher concentrations than allowed in both countries. By PCA analysis, groups were identified in bi-dimensional graphs, in which both artisanal and industrial samples were clearly separated

Abstract:

Aus besonders großen Volumendaten extrahierte Isoflächen besitzen eine kaum beherrschbare Anzahl an Polygonen, weshalb die Extraktion von adaptiven, also bezüglich einer geometrischen Fehlermetrik reduzierten, Isoflächen wünschenswert ist. Ein häufiges Problem gängiger adaptiver Verfahren ist, dass sie Datenstrukturen verwenden, die gerade für große Daten besonders viel Hauptspeicher benötigen und daher nicht direkt anwendbar sind. Nachdem auf die Grundlagen zur Isoflächenextration eingegangen wurde, wird im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit ein auf Dual Contouring basierendes Verfahren entworfen, das die adaptive Isoflächenextraktion aus sehr großen Volumendaten auch bei begrenztem Hauptspeicher mit einem zeitlich vertretbaren Aufwand erlaubt. Der verwendete Octree wird dazu nur implizit aufgebaut und temporär nicht benötigte Daten werden unter Nutzung von Out-of-core-Techniken in den Sekundärspeicher ausgelagert. Die verschiedenen Implementierungsansätze werden unter Berücksichtigung maximaler Effizienz verglichen. Die Tauglichkeit des Verfahrens wird an verschiedenen sehr großen Testdatensätzen nachgewiesen
Isosurfaces that are extracted from massive volume data sets consist of a hardly processable amount of polygons. Hence adaptive isosurfaces should be extracted with respect to a geometric error metric. Popular adaptive methods frequently require an amount of memory that turns them unfeasible for large data sets. After dwelling on the fundamentals of isosurfaces, a dual contouring based method will be developed that allows for the extraction of adaptive isosurfaces from massive volume data sets. The required octree is built implicitly, and temporarily unneeded data is swapped out on a secondary storage using out of core techniques. Various implementation approaches will be discussed and compared concerning maximum efficiency. The suitability of the method will be demonstrated with various massive volume data sets

Abstract:

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die elektrischen und nicht-elektrischen Einstellparameter der Bohrerosion untersucht. Ein neuer Ansatz zur geregelten Zwangsspülung wird vorgestellt und die Mechanismen diskutiert, die zu veränderten Prozessrandbedingungen führen. Abhängig von der Entladeenergie kann eine optimale Durchflussmenge ermittelt werden, die eine direkte Abtragwirkung zur Folge hat, wodurch der Abtragmechanismus in der Funkenerosion erweitert werden muss. Längliche Einzelentladungskrater bestätigen eine erhöhte Mobilität des Entladekanals während einer Entladung infolge der starken Spülung. Wasserbasiertes Dielektrikum führt bei einer kathodischen Elektrodenpolung zu einem verschleißreduzierenden Elektrolyseeffekt, der die Energieumsetzung an der Elektrode direkt beeinflusst. Die Übertragbarkeit der Ergebnisse von Einzelentladungen auf den Folgeprozess kann durch die hier vorgestellte problemangepasste Spüleinrichtung nachgewiesen werden.

Abstract:

Die Arbeit untersucht die Position der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken im Bibliotheksfeld der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Den theoretischen Rahmen bildet die Theorie der sozialen Felder von Pierre Bourdieu. Dargestellt werden zunächst die Außengrenzen des Bibliotheksfeldes sowie seine administrative Verortung. Es folgen professionssoziologische Aspekte, insbesondere die Verbands- und Ausbildungsstruktur. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Binnengliederung des Feldes und seiner historischen Spartentrennung in „wissenschaftliche“ und „Öffentliche“ Bibliotheken. Dazu gehören eine Untersuchung der technisch-administrativen Infrastruktur und der ideologischen Verortung der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken. Die Kapitalbinnenstruktur des Feldes wird anhand von Daten der Deutschen Bibliotheksstatistik analysiert. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit bildet eine empirische Untersuchung der Diskursstruktur anhand einer quantitativen Analyse von 7.159 Aufsätzen, Vorträgen und Beiträgen zu Mailinglisten, die den allgemeinen bibliothekarischen Fachdiskurs in den Jahren 1964 bis 2016 abbilden. Aus dieser Untersuchung werden Schlüsse auf die informelle Feldstruktur unterhalb der Institutionenebene gezogen. Weitere Ergebnisse betreffen die genderspezifische Arbeitsteilung und die ideologische und kapitalbezogene Position der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken im Bibliotheksfeld.
The dissertation examines the position of public libraries in the library “field” (as described by Pierre Bourdieu) of the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes the outer borders of the field and the administrative position of libraries as well as sociological aspects such as the structure of professional associations and formal qualifications. A focus lies on the historical division between “research” and “public” libraries. This includes an analysis of technical and administrative infrastructure as well as different ideologies. An analysis of the German Library Statistics investigates the capital-based substructure of the field. The main empirical work consists of an analysis of the structure of the professional discourse between 1964 and 2016, i.e. a quantitative analysis of 7.159 articles, conference papers and e-mail-posts that cover the main part of the national professional discourse. This allows conclusions about the informal structure of the field underneath the institutional level. Further results refer to the gender-specific division of labour and the ideological and resource-based position of public libraries in the library field.

Abstract:

Denna uppsatsen undersöker varför våld i film är så utbrett och populärt. Jag använder mig av ett evolutionärbiologiskt perspektiv, som tidigare inte använts vid filmforskning i så stor utsträckning. Istället har filmforskning och andra studier på människans beteende oftast utgått ifrån ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen är av typen ”forskningsöversikt” vilket innebär att jag inte har gjort någon klassisk analys på ett filmiskt verk eller empiriskt material, utan har sammanställt en stor mängd forskning från andra forskare. För att kunna svara på min frågeställning har jag behövt forska inom mänsklig evolution, audiovisuell perception samt våld i film. Den viktigaste bokenför uppsatsen kom att bli Torben Grodals Embodied Visions. Huvudfrågan i min frågeställning löd: Vilka faktorer ligger enligt tidigare forskning bakom populariteten av våldsskildringar?Svar: 1. Film är utformad för att påverka oss, aktivera känslor. 2. Det som påverkar ossallra mest är de bilder som påminner om de djupast rotade mekanismerna inuti oss. 3. Av evolutionära skäl ingår våld och aggressivitet bland dessa djupt rotade mekanismer.
This paper examines why violence in films is so widespread and popular. I use an evolutionary biological perspective, that has not previously been used in film research as much. Instead, the film research and other studies on human behavior usually originate from a social constructionist perspective. The essay is a "research review", which means that I have not made a classic analysis of a cinematic work or empirical data, but have collected a large amount of research from other scientists. To be able to answer my question, I had to do research in human evolution, audio visual perception and violence in film. The most important book for the essay came to be Torben Grodals Embodied Visions. The main question in my research question was: What factors are in accordance with previous research behind the popularity of graphic violence? Answer: 1. Film is designed to affect us, activating emotions. 2. what affects us the most is images that reminds us of deeply rooted mechanisms inside us. 3. of evolutionary reasons, violence and aggression are among these deep-rooted mechanisms.

Green consumption and green citizenship are concepts that are established with increased awareness of environmental policy issues, climate change and the current state and the future of the environment. The aim of this study was to examine the background and meaning of these pro-environmental concepts based on a literature study. A survey was constructed based on the analyze given in the study, containing specific differences, similarities and significant characteristics for green consumption and citizenship. The survey contained four main characteristic indicators; General characteristic ideals Connection to nature Willingness to change Driving forces connected to commonly targeted consumption-based behaviors The results of this study showed an overrepresentation of green citizenship and a positive attitude towards the values with distinct psychological connection to the environment and consumption patterns. The results also responded in accordance with green consumption, most commonly regarding to consumption-based behaviors contributing a psychological added value. The conclusion of the work highlights the difficulty of dividing green consumption and green citizenship into two separate categories in order to use them as a classification and/or grouping of human behavior. On the other hand, they can advantageously be used as a discussion tool in subjects related to driving forces, lifestyles, values and social attitudes about environmental awareness in different contexts.

Abstract:

Strandveld vegetation around the Groen river mouth was sampled using complementary ordination and classification techniques (DCA and TWINSP AN). Four communities can be recognised, although samples are primarily divided into inland and coastal plots. Two inland communities are: Stoebaria utilis-Salvia lanceolata community, characterised by tall vegetation(> 1m), on deep, loose soils; Hermannia spp-Leserlia diffusa community of short (<0.6m) vegetation on shallow soils with a hardpan dorbank layer. Two coastal Strandveld communities are: Vanzylia amulata-Limonium peregrinum community which has short vegetation ( <0.5m) on characteristic shallow soils with a calcrete layer at 50 cm deep; Ruschia hutchensonia-Sasola nolothensis community characterised by deep alkaline soils. Of the environmental variables sampled, soil resistance and the presence of calcium carbonate in the soil best explain the distribution of plots and species in ordination space. Communities classified in this study differ subtly from the Tall, Medium and Short Strandveld communities and Strand communities proposed by le Roux and Boucher, 1989 and 1993.

Abstract:

El teorema de Grobman-Hartman señala que el comportamiento cualitativo de un sistema dinámico en una vecindad alrededor de un punto fijo hiperbólico cualitativamente tiene el mismo comportamiento de su linealización cerca de un punto equilibrio, y más generalmente de una sucesión de pequeñas perturbaciones de transformaciones lineales lipschitziana hiperbólicas. Se sabe que, no siempre para esos tipos de aplicaciones existen conjugaciones diferenciables, al menos que estén sobre una superficie o no exista resonancia. Sin embargo, para poder distinguir por ejemplo diferentes tipos de nodos se tendría que saber si la conjugación puede tener mayor regularidad. Por ello, el principal objetivo es presentar una prueba de la regularidad Cα, de las conjugaciones. Es decir, mostrar que la conjugación en el teorema de Grobman-Hartman es siempre Hölder continua y tiene su inversa Hölder continua.

Abstract:

This dissertation profiles the children's television industry in Australia; examines the relationship between government cultural policy objectives and television industry production practices; and explores the complexities of regulating and producing cultural content for child audiences. The research conducted between 1997 and 2002 confirms that children's television is a highly competitive business dependent on government regulatory mechanisms and support for its existence. For example, the Australian Broadcasting Authority's retaining of mandatory program standards for children's programs to date, is evidence of the government's continued recognition of the conflict between broadcasters' commercial imperatives and the public-interest. As a consequence, the industry is on the one hand insistent on the government continuing to play a role in ensuring and sustaining CTV - however, on the other hand, CTV producers resent the restrictions on creativity and innovation they believe result from the use of regulatory instruments such as the Children's Television Standards (CTS). In fact, as this dissertation details, the ABA's intended policy outcomes are inevitably coupled with unintended outcomes and little new or innovative policy development has occurred. The dissertation begins with an investigation into the social, cultural and ideological construction of childhood within an historical and institutional context. I do this in order to explore how children have been defined, constructed and managed as a cultural group and television audience. From this investigation, I then map the development of children television policy and provide examples of how 'the child' is a consistent and controversial site of tension within policy debate. I then introduce and analyse a selection of established, establishing and aspiring CTV production companies and producers. Drawing on interviews conducted, production companies profiled and policy documents analysed, I conclude by identit~'ing ten key issues that have impacted, and continue to impact, on the production of children's television programming in Australia. In addressing issues of industry development, the question this dissertation confronts is not whether to continue to regulate or not, but rather, how best to regulate. That is, it explores the complexities of supporting, sustaining and developing the CTV industry in ways which also allows innovative and creative programming. This exploration is done within the context of a broadcasting industry currently in transition from analogue to digital. As communications and broadcasting technologies converge, instruments of regulation - such as quotas designed around the characteristics of analogue systems of broadcasting - are being compromised. The ways in which children use television, and the ways in which the CTV producers create content, are being transformed. The ten key issues identified in this dissertation, I propose, are crucial to industry development and policy debate about the future of children's television in Australia. In integrating the study of policy with the study of production, I have given prominence to the opinions and experiences of those working in the industry. In doing so, this dissertation contributes to the growing body of work in Australia which incorporates industry with cultural analysis, and which includes the voices of the content providers.

Abstract:

Athletic pelvic/groin injuries can be difficult to define, diagnose and therefore manage. These injuries are often the result of multifactorial dysfunction, making them susceptible to becoming chronic. Transverse pelvic belts have shown effectiveness in reducing pain and improving function in athletes with pelvic/groin pain, but there may be better alternatives. Exploring different pelvic belt configurations with athletes with pelvic/groin pain confirmed the role of a transverse belt but also found that diagonal belts produced significantly (< 0.05) greater effects upon clinical measures of pain and function. Dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses (DEFOs) are Lycra®-based orthoses theorised as providing stability and enhancing proprioception. A DEFO was designed to apply diagonal force to the pelvic girdle and mimic transverse belt application. In a series of single case studies the DEFO was found to have beneficial effects upon pain and/or function in selected athletes with pelvic/groin pain. Athletes’ subjective reports suggested that balance and power may have also been positively influenced. Further work exploring appropriate measures of athletic balance led to the investigation of the intra-rater reliability of a functional measure; the multiple single-leg hop-stabilisation test. Good to excellent reliability (ICC = 0.85; CI 0.61-0.90) confirmed this measure as being reliable for use in a future study, and highlighted relationships with other factors such as age and training status. The findings of a pilot RCT indicated that with minor revisions this protocol could be effectively implemented in informing a future RCT. Findings also indicated that the DEFO led to moderate to large effect sizes on clinical measures (d = 0.6-1.1) of active straight leg raise and squeeze test force, and negligible to small effects on measures of power and functional balance (d = 0.1-0.3). This thesis therefore outlines the development and initial evaluation of a novel DEFO for supporting the management of athletic pelvic/groin injury. Further work is required to undertake a fully powered RCT, and to explore the mechanistic action of this DEFO.

Abstract:

Due to enormous growth rates during the last couple of years CarSharing has become an interesting field of research. This Master Thesis focuses on the analysis of CarSharing users. For this purpose more than 37.000 participants of the "Große SrV-Vergleichsstädte"-Survey were taken into account. After a short literature review and some general information about the statistical methods, the thesis tries to work out some major characteristics of the typical CarSharing user. It will be shown, that a high income and a young age are of central importance. Also when analysing other variables different user quotas are observed, but can mostly be explained with different age or income levels. At the end a binary logit model is sugested to differ between users and non users, by using the previous analysed observed characteristics as input.

Abstract:

Für ein Orangeriegebäude im Großen Garten in Dresden existieren seit 1683 zahlreiche aufwendige Entwürfe, die schon zeitgleich mit dem Bau des dortigen Palais umgesetzt werden sollten. Erst 1750 kam es zu einer einfachen Bauausführung, da die stattliche Sammlung von Zitrusfrüchten ein Winterquartier brauchte. Historische Inventare schildern die diversen Pflanzenarten. Um 1900 waren eher tropische Dekorationspflanzen in der Sammlung. Für sie baute man 1911 ein neues Glashaus.

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse porte sur le développement de techniques de spectroscopie neutronique dans les champs de rayonnement mixte pour des applications liées aux réacteurs de recherche à neutrons rapides, en particulier l’installation MASURCA.La première partie est consacrée à l'étude des configurations expérimentales spéciales de MASURCA dans lesquelles un canal radial est construit pour extraire un faisceau continu de neutrons d'énergie intermédiaires et rapides, adaptable à différents besoins. Exploiter MASURCA en tant qu'installation de faisceau de neutrons ouvrirait de nouvelles possibilités d'expériences telles que des expériences de protection et de transport de neutrons rapides, la production de champs neutroniques standards (de référence), le développement et étalonnage de systèmes de détection des neutrons rapides, etc.La deuxième partie de la thèse est dédiée au développement d’une capacité de spectrométrie neutronique rapide pour la caractérisation en ligne de la distribution d'énergie neutronique. Différents types de détecteurs sont comparés. Le meilleur compromis pour ce spectromètre est un système combinant des compteurs proportionnels et des scintillateurs organiques. Ce système est capable de couvrir le domaine énergétique entre 10 keV et 10 MeV. Le scintillateur organique sélectionné est un monocristal de stilbène obtenu par un procédé “solution-grown” développé récemment. Au bilan, on conclut qu'un spectromètre à neutrons basé sur le stilbène de type “solution-grown” serait adapté à une utilisation dans MASURCA et dans d'autres champs de rayonnement mixte et qu'il serait plus performant que les systèmes de détection traditionnels
This doctoral thesis work is focused on the development of neutron spectroscopy techniques in mixed radiations fields for fast research reactor applications, especially for the MASURCA facility.The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the study of special MASURCA configurations in which a radial channel is built to extract a continuous beam of intermediate-to-fast energy neutrons, tailorable to meet different needs. Operating MASURCA as a neutron beam facility would open up new possibilities of experiments, such as fast neutron attenuation and shielding experiments; measurements in standard (reference) fast neutron fields, development and calibration of fast neutron detection systems etc.The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the development of fast neutron spectrometric capabilities for the on-line characterization of the neutron energy distribution. Different candidate detector systems are compared. A “best compromise” spectrometer is shown to be a system combining proportional counters and organic scintillators. Such a system would be able to cover the neutron energy domain between 10 keV and 10 MeV. The selected organic scintillator is a stilbene single crystal obtained by a recently developed solution-grown process. Overall, it is concluded that a neutron spectrometer based on a solution-grown stilbene detector would be suitable for use in MASURCA and in other mixed radiations fields, and would perform better than traditional detector systems

Metodologia: Realizou- se uma pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados, PubMed, Web of Science e SPORTDiscus, com a combinação das seguintes palavras-chave (“prevention exercise” OR “prevention training”) AND (“groin injuries” OR “groin pain”) AND (“football players” OR “soccer players”) AND (physical therapy) de acordo com as guias do Prisma Flow Diagram. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos incluídos foi analisada através da Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scoring Scale (PEDro). Resultados: Nesta revisão foram incluídos 5 artigos que cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade com um total de 1358 participantes e média aritmética de 7/10 na escala de PEDro. Verificou-se que o treino de prevenção promoveu, uma diminuição significativa do risco de lesão de pubalgia em jogadores de futebol masculino. Conclusão: Com base nos estudos analisados, parece ser possível afirmar que deve ser implementado um treino de prevenção para pubalgia, visto que parece existir uma diminuição do risco lesivo assim como o facto de potenciar a força excêntrica adutora da anca, bem como de otimizar o rácio da força excêntrica entre adutores-abdutores da anca.
Objective: To determine if the prevention training can promote a diminished risk and prevalence of groin injuries in male football players. Methodology: Computerized research conducted in the databases PubMed, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus, was performed using the combination of the following keywords: (“prevention exercise” OR “prevention training”) AND (“groin injuries” OR “groin pain”) AND (“football players” OR “soccer players”) AND (physical therapy) according to Prisma Flow Diagram. The including studies were analyzed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scoring Scale (PEDro). Results: this review included 5 articles that met the eligibility criteria with a total of 1659 participants and with an arithmetic mean of 7/10 on the PEDro scale. It was found that the prevention training promoted a diminished prevalence and risk of groin problems in male football players. Conclusion: Based on the studies analyzed, seems to be possible to affirm that prevention training for groin injuries should be implemented, since there seems to exist a decrease in the risk of injury and also because of it enhances the eccentric hip adductor strength, as well as optimizing the ratio between eccentric hip adductor and eccentric hip abductor strength.

Abstract:

Thermal barrier coatings have been widely used to provide thermal protection to components in the hot section of gas turbines. This research focuses on two influencing factors on coating behavior: thermal gradient and cyclic oxidation. The delamination mechanics under thermal gradient is analyzed, taking thermally grown oxide into consideration. Coatings experience thermal gradients at different stages during actual service flight. One is due to engine power shut down when landing and the other due to internal cooling of the substrate. Thermally grown oxide (TGO) also acts as a critical factor in delamination mechanics. The induced stress gradient and corresponding energy release rate for interface delamination and shallower delamination are presented. Mechanism maps that explain the criteria for preventing delamination from developing and propagating are established. Three cooling trajectories are envisaged to analyze the variation in the possibility of delamination. Multilayer coatings used in components of the hot section of aero turbine engines also experience cyclic temperature variation during flight cycles. As experiment conditions vary and coating performance is improved, the time required to run through the test of coating failure can be both time-consuming and prohibitive. Therefore, protocols providing prediction of quantified coating behavior are in demand to shorten life-time tests. Curves of mass change are obtained from quantifying scale growth and loss by different models such as Cyclic Oxidation Spall Program (COSP). A modification is made by combining COSP and a mechanic based model to obtain critical parameters for lifetime prediction from short time experiment. The time for coatings to reach peak temperature during cycling is discovered to influence prominently on modeling results. Predictions for several coating compositions and cycling conditions are consistent with the data from the existing experiments of the coating system.
