  1. 31. Accidents leading to over-exertion back injuries among nursing personnel

    Författare :Inga-Lill Engkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :accident investigation; back injury; cluster analysis; epidemiology; ergonomics; interview; nurse; patient transfer; physical environment; worg organisation;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the present thesis was to contribute to the knowledge of occupational accidents leading to over-exertion back injuries among nursing personnel, which can be used for developing effective preventive strategies. Different combinations of factors and events were assumed to determine the type of accident process leading to an over-exertion injury. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Parents' perceptions of children's accident risk

    Författare :Anita Gärling; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Risk perceptions; childhood accidents; residential satisfaction; Teknisk psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present thesis was, first, to study how parents and other adults percieve or judge children’s accident risk, and, secondly, to relate such judgements to the subjects’ preferences for and satisfaction with different residential conditions.A theoretical framework is proposed which assumes that judgements of children’s accident risk are based on beliefs about what causes accidents to children.

  4. 33. Comorbidity and complications in neurological diseases

    Författare :Heléne E.K. Sundelin; Jonas F. Ludvigsson; Henrik Larsson; Rodney Scott; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antiepileptic drugs; autism; cerebral palsy; child; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome; epilepsy; obstetric; pregnancy; traffic accidents;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Neurological diseases are complex and many share etiology as well as comorbidities. Epilepsy, a brain disorder characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are considered to be associated, but the connection is still not fully uncovered.

  5. 34. Development of an Environment-Accident Index : A planning tool to protect the environment in case of a chemical spill

    Författare :Åsa Scott Andersson; Mats Tysklind; Ingrid Fängmark; Olof Stjernström; Stellan Fisher; Per Leffler; Ronald Wennersten; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Environment-Accident Index; Chemical Accidents; environmental effects; questionnaire; expert judgements; statistical multivariate design; PCA; PLS; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing mass and complexity of chemicals being produced and transported has resulted in more rigorous demands on both authorities as well as chemical-handling industries to assess the risks involved. The Environment-Accident Index (EAI), has been proposed as a planning tool created as an equation in which chemical properties (variables describing the chemical involved) are combined with site-specific properties (variables describing the accident site).

  7. 35. A systemic traffic accident model

    Författare :Yu-Hsing Huang; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; trafikolyckor; trafiksäkerhet; traffic safety; traffic accidents; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Accident models are essential for all efforts in safety engineering. They influence the investigation and analysis of accidents, the assessment of systems and the development of precautions. Looking at accident statistics, the trend for Swedish roads is not pointing towards increased safety. LÄS MER
