  1. 21. A laboratory vehicle mock-up research work on truck driver’s selected seat position and posture : A mathematical model approach with respect to anthropometry, body landmark locations and discomfort

    Författare :Kianoush Fatollahzadeh; Jan Forslin; Roland Kadefoers; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; truck driving; anthropometry; body landmarks; discomfort; sitting posture; Other industrial engineering and economics; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Professional truck drivers are highly exposed to fatigue and work related injuries. Truck drivers are common victims of musculoskeletal disorders, frequently suffering from pain symptoms particularly in the neck, shoulder and lower back. This situation is believed to be a contributor to the high absenteeism in this job category. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Interaction between humans and car seats : studies of occupant seat adjustment, posture, position, and real world neck injuries in rear-end impacts

    Författare :Bertil Jonsson; Ulf Björnstig; Mats Svensson; Anders Kullgren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Surgery; backset; Whiplash; rear-end impact; seated posture; seated position; bioRID; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The latest generation of rear-end whiplash protection systems, as found in the WHIPS Volvo and SAHR Saab, have reduced injury rates by almost 50% in comparison with the previous generation of seat/head restraint systems. Occupant behaviour, such as seated posture and seat adjustment settings, may affect the injury risk. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Correspondence Estimation in Human Face and Posture Images

    Författare :Vahid Kazemi; Stefan Carlsson; Timothy Cootes; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Many computer vision tasks such as object detection, pose estimation,and alignment are directly related to the estimation of correspondences overinstances of an object class. Other tasks such as image classification andverification if not completely solved can largely benefit from correspondenceestimation. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Effects of gravity and posture on the human lung

    Författare :Malin Rohdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acceleration; cardiac output; cardiogenic oscillations; closing volume; gas exchange; heart I-ate; human centrifuge; hypergravity; lung diffusing capacity; prone posture; pulmonary-capillary blood volume; rebreathing; single-breath washout; supine;

    Sammanfattning : The presence of the gravitational force at the surface of Earth affects all of the organ systems in landliving creatures. The function of the lung is particularly susceptible to changes in the direction and magnitude of gravity because of the elastic structure of this organ. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Les verbes de position suédois stå, sitta, ligga et leurs équivalents français : étude contrastive

    Författare :Pauli Kortteinen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Swedish; French; posture verbs; corpus linguistics; contrastive linguistics; parallel corpus; translation corpus; translationese; overuse; underuse; grammaticalisation; lexicalisation; language typology; cognitive linguistics;

    Sammanfattning : The Swedish posture verbs stå ‘stand’, sitta ‘sit’ and ligga ‘lie’ are used prototypically to refer to human beings in standing, sitting and lying positions. These polysemous verbs are components of the lexical profile of the Swedish language – they are verbs of high frequency and alongside their prototypical uses they also have many metaphorical, lexicalised and grammaticalised uses with no straightforward lexical equivalents in French.
