1. 1. Development of a Mechanical Model for Rear Impacts: Evaluation of Volunteer Responses and Validation of the Model

   Författare :Johan Davidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; whiplash; validation; rear impact; dummy; seat; spine; rear-end collision; volunteer; BioRID; neck;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of this research has been to develop a biofidelic crash-test dummy to facilitate design of seat systems with enhanced occupant protection in rear-end collisions. These frequent collisions may cause soft-tissue neck injuries to occupants in struck vehicles. LÄS MER

3. 2. Volunteer Kinematics and Muscle Activity in Dynamic Events Representative of Pre-crash Scenarios, Evaluation Data for Human Body Models

   Författare :Ghazaleh Ghaffari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EMG; volunteer; evasive manoeuvres; human body model; validation data; occupant kinematics; pre‐pretensioner belt; lane change; boundary conditions;

   Sammanfattning : Advanced integrated safety technologies in modern cars such as collision avoidance intervention and pre-crash activated restraint systems involve comprehensive research on how vehicle occupants respond to these systems in pre-crash situations. Human Body Models (HBMs) are mathematical tools developed to predict human responses and injury outcomes in different pre-crash and in-crash situations. LÄS MER

4. 3. Work in voluntary welfare organizations : A sociological study of voluntary welfare organizations in Sweden

   Författare :Sébastien Chartrand; Göran Ahrne; Apostolis Papakostas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; volunteering; work; voluntary organization; Sweden; employee; volunteer; organization; public sector; professionalization; folkrörelser; Sociology; Sociologi;

   Sammanfattning : Since Sweden has one of the most comprehensive welfare states, the role of voluntary organizations active in the field of welfare is often neglected. The unique Swedish nonprofit sector is characterized by 1) the tradition of popular mass movements in which members are central and the real owners of the organization, 2) large membership and volunteering, but low employment levels, 3) dominance in the fields of culture and recreation, but the relative marginalization in welfare.

5. 4. IT Design for Amateur Communities

   Författare :Cristian Bogdan; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :amateur; volunteer; community; work; amateur work; participatory design; software development; challenge; contingency; pioneering; public; personal development; learning; hands-on learning; self-sustainability; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : The concept of community is receiving increasing attentionacross organizations and throughout the entire society.Voluntary association, creation of value, and solidarity incommunity contexts get more and more appreciated and nurturedwithin companies and other organizations.

7. 5. Female and Male Whole Spinal Alignment and Cervical Kinematic Responses in Rear Impacts

   Författare :Fusako Sato Sakayachi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neck injury; spinal alignment; whiplash; cervical vertebral kinematics; volunteer; Multi-Dimensional Scaling; rear impact; automotive seated posture; MRI; female;

   Sammanfattning : The susceptibility of women to Whiplash Associated Disorders (WADs) has been the focus of numerous epidemiologic studies. Summarising the epidemiologic WAD studies, women were found to be at three times higher risk of sustaining WADs than men. LÄS MER
