  1. 16. An epidemiological study of non-fatal injuries in a Swedish county

    Författare :Elsvig Eilert-Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :accident; injury; bicycle; pedestrian; school injury; epidemiology; ;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis is to describe the epidemiological injury pattern (including both oral and bodily injuries) in a defined Swedish population. Analysis is performed in three steps: a general overview; a focus on oral and bodily injuries, Paper I, and on the most exposed age groups for tooth injuries (children and adolescents), Paper II; and exemplifying situational analyses of bicycle (Paper III) and pedestrian injuries (Paper IV), and school injuries Paper V.

  3. 17. Injuries in Skaraborg County, Sweden : surveillance, analysis, and evaluation of community intervention at municipal and county level

    Författare :Robert Ekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :accident; bicycle-helmet; children; community intervention; epidemiology; evaluation; injury; municipality-based program; prevention; process evaluation; safecommunity; traffic; school; unintentional injury.;

    Sammanfattning : The Falköping Accident Prevention Program (FAPP) is based in Skaraborg County, Sweden. An injury register was started in 1978, and intervention began in 1979. Three years later the rate of injuries had fallen by 23%. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Cycle paths’ degradation processes and surface condition assessment

    Författare :Martin Larsson; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Anna Niska; Inge Hoff; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction design; cycle paths; degradation; distress modes; maintenance; municipalities; survey; cycling comfort; road surface measurements; surface evenness; surface texture; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, both from individual- and societal perspectives, e.g., better health from an increase in physical activity, lower levels of pollution and congestion. However, there are also some potential problems with such a shift. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Sickness absence and disability pension among injured bicyclists and pedestrians

    Författare :Linnea Kjeldgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Active transportation such as walking and bicycling provides an opportunity for individuals to incorporate physical activity into daily life. It has a positive impact on public health and is an important aspect of a sustainable road transport system. However, it also involves some risks. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Accumulation and Composition of Gully Pot Sediments under Varying Anthropogenic Activities

    Författare :Haoyu Wei; Lian Lundy; Maria Viklander; David Butler; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Catch basin; Stormwater; Sediment; Urban runoff; Xenobiotics; Gully pot maintenance; Emerging pollutant; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Gully pots (GPs) are an integral urban drainage component, contributing to conveying runoff from urban surfaces and reducing the load of solids and associated contaminants entering downstream piped systems and receiving waters. Over time, the silting-up of GPs impairs their hydraulic performance, increasing the risk of GP blockage-induced flood events and reducing solids retention performance. LÄS MER
