    Sammanfattning : A new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. The current level is about 80%. The car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Measurements of physical workload with special reference to energy expenditure and work postures

    Författare :Eva Bernmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exposure assessment;

    Sammanfattning : Background: There is a need in preventive ergonomics for accurate and valid methods of quantifying exposure to physical workload. Aims: Two technical instruments were evaluated for quantifying occupational physical workloads: 1) A heart rate (HR) monitor system to measure energy expenditure and 2) An inclinometer system based on triaxial accelerometers to measure work postures.

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden, musculoskeletal disorders constitute a considerable public health problem, also in public sector employees and especially among women, and these complaints often result in long-term sick leave and disability pension. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate public sector employees, to elucidate specific factors both at their workplaces and in the private sphere, that are associated with (ill) health, in particular with musculoskeletal pain.

    Sammanfattning : IntroductionMusculoskeletal pain is one of the most common reasons for seeking health care. If a patient’s disorders remain after conventional primary care, a referral to secondary care is often made, yet many referrals on the waiting lists concern patients who are not in need of surgery.
