Guest Professor Karl Iagnemma A project in Research for Innovation – the overarching strategic research programme of Halmstad University, supported by The Knowledge Foundation
Partners: Kollmorgen;Volvo GTT; Motivations and goals: A long standing research and education area at Halmstad University is Mechatronics; an engineering program in Mechatronics was offered already 30 years ago to meet the interest from the regional industry. The subject currently does not have a professor, but talented younger faculty. The subject is of high industrial relevance and there are several research projects within this field, very often run in cooperation with industrial partners. The aim with the guest professor position is to strengthen the international network for the younger researchers in Mechatronics and the development of the subject. The subject is part of the new PhD education in Signals and Systems Engineering. The project extends over the period 2013-2015. The guest professor: Karl Iagnemma is Director of the Robotic Mobility Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is the co-founder of Gimlet Systems, which specializes in software for autonomous vehicles. Karl Iagnemma has participated in the DARPA Grand Challenge and DARPA Urban Challenge competitions. He has been nominated for the MacArthur Foundation fellowship. Karl Iagnemma is the author of more than 200 scientific articles, of which more than 45 are in Web of Science. He is also a talented writer of short stories and novels.
Some results so far: • Assisted with writing an EU FP7 proposal, CARGO-ANTS, which was approved. • Assisted in writing other proposals that are still under review. • Formal co-supervisor for one PhD student at Halmstad University. • Several visits to Halmstad University, with inndustrial visits, supervisory discussions, and coaching.

Partners: Carmona AB, Crispin Porter + Bogusky Scandinavia, Halmstad University
“I would really like a cancer friend. Someone like me.
It’s like I should have thought about this when I was 8 years old…”
– Lina (16 years old) Cancer survivor
Give Me a Break bridges a gap in healthcare. Pain point! Social support from health care professionals is limited, and often offered intermittently in hospital settings. Lack of resources adapted to the needs of children surviving cancer limits their chances of wellbeing and successful social reintegration – and ultimately their outlook of life. Desired Solution! A digital service that connects peers with similar experiences will help them form long-term friendships and a network of peers that can support each other today and as they grow up.

Backgrund To design innovations that are tailored to children’s’ problems, values and needs, children themselves must play a major role in the research and design process. Participatory design facilitates children's participation in research processes. To strengthen our knowledge in this field, we have initiated a collaboration with Professor Cornelia Ruland, Oslo University, with internationally recognized expertise in participatory design with children.

B usiness Model Renewal and Raw Materials Managem ent in the P rocess Industry A project in Research for Innovation – the overarching strategic research programme of Halmstad University, supported by The Knowledge Foundation Partners: Höganäs AB, IntierraRMG AB
Background and Motivation The project targets the business model challenges facing process industries in the wake of recent developments within the mineral and metals industries, and the broader socio-political environment in which this industry is situated. A key assumption of the project is that the ability to base business models on effective management of raw materials is a key prerequisite to sustained competitiveness for firms within process industries.
Research Problem and Approach The overall aim of the project is to investigate resource dependence concerns related to raw material management in the design and renewal of business models. Given the context of process industry and how value is created within such industries, process companies can reap great advantages by developing an effective raw materials management approach. At present, however, extant research does not allow for qualified advice to be given to companies about how to do this. The project is designed as a cooperative endeavor among Höganäs AB, RMG and HH. The project is divided into three interrelated and to some extent parallel phases. The first phase was an explorative phase in which initial preparation and research was made that guided the later empirical investigations. The second phase was an execution phase in which the main bulk of the empirical research was conducted. The third phase is an extension phase in which the results from the empirical research will be implemented at Höganäs AB and RMG, and findings from the project will be generalized beyond the case of Höganäs.

Bakgrund och motivering Innovativa och växande företag anses vara viktiga då de skapar sysselsättning och välfärd i vårt samhälle. Trots detta har vi lite kunskap om hur redovisning utformas och används i dessa företag. Det är därför angeläget att få fram kunskap om hur dessa företags finansiella rapporter används vid beslutsfattande som berör innovativa idéer och i synnerhet hur information som kommuniceras av revisorn påverkar. Forskningsproblem och metod - Vilken roll spelar verbal information från revisorn för entreprenören i det innovativa företaget? - Intervjuer med revisorer och entreprenörer i sex snabbväxande innovativa företag Mål Projektet syftar till att bidra med kunskap och ökad förståelse för redovisningens roll i kontexten entreprenörskap och innovation som kan spridas genom vetenskapliga publiceringar och genom utbildning på universitet och högskolor. Vidare syftar projektet till att bidra med kunskap till deltagande revisorer och revisionsbyråer som dessa kan använda som mervärde till revision. Resultat hittills - Revisorn bidrar med användbar verbal information när entreprenören saknar kompetens inom redovisning och när det innovativa företaget saknar eller har begränsade formella interna redovisningssystem. -Kunskapen hjälper entreprenören att förstå risktagande och möjligheter i beslutsfattande som relaterar till investeringsbeslut och finansiering - Kunskapen bidrar till ökad legitimitet i möten med styrelse, aktieägare, finansiärer, men också i möten med potentiella kunder och media..

A physiological, biomechanical, and psychological approach to golf performance and injury susceptibility at the elite level
For golfers at any level with an interest in improving performance, focus need to be on 3 skills aspects; improving technical, physical and psychological skills Besides skills development, focus on; staying healthy and injury free. Typically golf research is investigated within only one academic field (e.g., biomechanics, motor learning, psychology, engineering) and results are often not considered in a golf performance context. We take an interdisciplinary approach combining physiological, technical and psychological viewpoints on performance and injury prevention in elite golfers.
STUDY 1: Increased grip force and higher muscle activity in the grip muscles extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and flexor carpi radialis FCR) in all phases of the swing is positively associated with increased shot length: Shot length and finger extension force rs = 0.81, (p<0.01) and grip flexion force (rs=0.78, p<0.01) These results indicates that both maximal grip force and high muscle activity in the FCR and EDC can be important factors for increasing shot length, and that a highly coordinated pattern between these muscles are useful to maximize shot distance. STUDY 2. Multiple regression analysis on 16 independent variables explained 71% of variance in club head speed. The three variables most strongly associated with CHS were: MSR, PAV and TOB. Positive β-coefficients for trunk extension at TOB and PAV indicated that a more upright posture at the top of the backswing and higher arm speeds resulted in increased CHS. A negative β-coefficient for MSR indicated that less separation between the pelvis and thorax were associated with higher CHS.
General Aim: Investigate physiological, biomechanical and psychological aspects of elite golfers related to golf performance and injury susceptibility. Specific Research Questions: 1.What select biomechanical, physiological, and psychological variables influence golf performance and/or injury susceptibility in young elite golfers? 2. Can intervention strategies based on physiological, psychological and biomechanical skills training improve golf performance and decrease injuries? 3. How can we translate and implement our biomechanical, physiological and psychological knowledge in golf performance and injury susceptibility into practical applications within the field of golfing making new methods, strategies, and products accessible for the golfing community?
Biomechanical measurements of golf swing kinematics, muscle activity and ball flight parameters. Physiological measurements of strength, power, endurance, and flexibility Psychological measurements of stress and arousal . 9-week intervention, Various Data analyses

GoDIS; Digital innovations in self-determined exercise motivation A project in Research for Innovation – the overarching strategic research programme of Halmstad University, supported by The Knowledge Foundation Partners: Tappa Service AB, and HPI-Health Profile Institute AB
Humans have throughout our history probably never been as sedentary as we are now and World Health Organization states 2 million deaths and 20 million DALY’s (Disability Adjusted Life Years) could be prevented globally through interventions successfully promoting a more physically active lifestyle in the population (Bull et al., 2004). These are considerable benefits from a public health perspective as well as for the separate individual’s well-being, quality of life and perceived health status, not to mention the potential health economy benefits. Interactive tools are rapidly advancing into our lives and tomorrow’s healthcare is already here, using life logging, remote controlled and home-based healthcare services, countless applications, digital interventions and so on. New visions and innovation strategies on e-health issues flourish at different levels of society, indicating almost limitless possibilities, but also considerable challenges regarding user demands and needs, technical solutions and personal data security.
The project idea is to design an interactive tool grounded on comprehensive knowledge from the field of psychology combined with the latest expertise from information technology and business model innovation, based on e-health industrial requirements and user needs. This will be done by designing, applying and marketing exercise intervention methods developed in an on-going PhDproject by Weman-Josefsson, aiming to enhance exercise adherence. Specific research questions relate to: • What new principles based on an interactive design is most attractive to try out, implement and examine? • How could the final product be labeled and marketed? • What is the efficacy of using Self-Determination Theory in designing, constructing and evaluating an exercise intervention?

Research in exercise and health psychology highlight the use of theory based interventions (e.g. Biddle et al., 2012; SBU 2007; Rhodes & Pfaeffli, 2010; Nigg & gelelr, 2012), showing the importance of using adequate theoretical frameworks to promote behavior change in all applicable arenas, i.e. also in digital interventions and e-health. Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2002) has received a growing body of evidence for its application in exercise and physical activity promotion (Fortier et al., 2012; Teixeira et al., 2012). This multidimensional theory emphasize social context and its ability to facilitate or thwart optimal motivation and on the extent to which behaviours are generally self-determined or controlled in nature (Ryan & Deci, 2002). The project aim is to define the best way to integrate and scientifically study health technology innovations by initiating an interdisciplinary co-production between Innovation Science, Information Technology, Health and Life-style research and the e-health industry during 2014.

Electromagnetic Compatibility for Next Generation (EMC NG) of Embedded Devices A project in Research for Innovation – the overarching strategic research programme of Halmstad University, supported by The Knowledge Foundation Partners: Halmstad University, NIBE, HMS Industrial Networks, AES Nordic, Digital Metal part of Höganäs Group, and Swedish Adrenalin. Background and Motivation
This research project is a strategic effort to increase the knowledge of the next generation of EMC requirements and possibilities in the context of two important and ongoing technology trends: the pervasive computing revolution, also known as Internet of Things (IoT), and new production methods, known as additive manufacturing. There is a need for understanding the new EMC environment and the requirements of electronics and embedded systems, which will follow in the footprints of the pervasive computing revolution. Research Problem and Approach The electromagnetic properties of the materials used in additive manufacturing are to be investigated, examples of important material parameters are: granularity, conductivity, permittivity, and permeability. Different additive production processes may provide varying structure granularity, spatial resolution, and a wide range of materials. However, there is a lack of standardized specifications for mechanical as well as electromagnetic properties enabling a good prediction on how manufactured parts will perform. To increase the opportunities of innovation in the area of additive manufacturing the following research questions have been formulated: • How can we provide the necessary knowledge and control of processes, structures, and materials used in additive manufacturing to produce commercially useable devices? • What electromagnetic properties do additive manufacturing provide, and does it provide new features usable for further integration of embedded electronics while sustaining EMC performance? • What possibilities are there for extreme integration of electronic components, like antennas, for future wireless systems by applying additive manufacturing?

Goals Besides the goal of achieving answers to the research questions, secondary goals of the project are: develop or improve laboratory measurement methods and models that more accurately reflect new requirements related to the pervasive computing vision; and develop best practice and recommendations for implementing these techniques into new EMC test standards. Accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies in the electronics sector and to increase competitiveness.
Results so Far Three hypothesis are assessed for additive manufacturing of electronics: building practice for naked chips (asics), inkjet antennas and printed metal cavity for resonance circuits. The first FEM models has been developed for cavity, Fig 1. Setting up lab-environment, surveying different materials.
